United States Forces Near Bat
tleline Engaged in Last Stage
of Training Before Entry In
to Actual Warfare.
(By Tin Attooiattd Prtts)
American Training Camp iu France,
Aug. 21. Training in some of the Amer
ican battalions baa progressed to such a
point thut ahum uttacka on the trench
systems are being carried out with a (lc
L're akin to actual warfare. Thus tar ar
tillery fire baa been only theoretical but
before long the troops expect to have
the experience of watching the effect of
real artillery upon the trenches.
The marines are having some especial
ly lively engagements this week with
their French instructors. French chas
seurs acting as the enemy hare been
making attacks upon the marines trench
system with Dewey, Farragut, Porter
and Sampson trenches as the battle ob
jectives. Tho French also have been at
tempting to block and hold communica
tion trenches known as Ohio, Missis
sippi, Delaware and Potomac It will be
seen that the marines trench nomencla
ture is based upon the naval herocB and
rivers of the United States.
The marines huvo been making stout
resistance and wherever the "enemy"
penetrated their lines they organized n
counter attack which quickly ejected the
intruders. The real objoct of these pre
liminary attacks is to get the officers
and men acquainted with what are known
at the front as operation orders. It is
the first step toward learning the rudi
ments of a highly organized part of mod
ern warfare where every step and every
detail is worked out in advance on a pre
arranged plan and must be strictly ad
hered to.
Ono great difference from real war
fare, however, is the fact that in battles
with the marines the "enemy" has ac
commodatingly allowed a copy of his op
eration orders to fall into the hands of
the defending garrison. This will be
changed lator and the American garrison
will be called upon to resist surprise
attacks in force.
Another valabie feature in sham bnt
tio excrcisca Is In teaching Americans
the great Importance of what is known
as liaison work the maintenance of
communication with supporting artillery,
with flanking forces, with airplanes and
with information centers. Attacks nro
accompanied by a lively rocket display
as 8. O. S. signals are sent up for de
fending the curtain of fire from the
artillery and calling reserves from com
panies In support of the trenches. Tho
rockets nro also used in the guise of
artillery fire by shortening and length
ening ranges, The evacuation of wound
ed under theoretical shell fire Is another
feature of sham battles which is receiv
ing attention

Fifty-Five Members of Party
Breakfast With Local Busi
ness Men at Hotel Osburn.
Twenty-two can containing the mem
bers of tbe Dealers' Motor Car associa
tion, were parked alongside tbe Hotel
Osburn Tuesday morning, tbe 55 occu
pants having arrived from Corvallis late
Monday night.
Promptly at 0 o'clock tbe business
men of Eugene sat down to breakfast.
The toasts ut tho breakfast were pre
sided over by Frank Jenkins, president
of tbe chamber of commerce, who intro
duced M. O. Wilkins, of Portland, who
made a short talk in which be gave some
very Interesting figures regarding the
number of automobiles in tbe various
parts of Oregon, other interesting data,
as well aa telling seme very interesting
stories.
At bis request the visitors sang their
rallying song, "Gascline," after which
Reverend A- M. Spangler was introduced.
Mr. Spangler took the floor as the
champion of tbe much abused Ford car
and kept the crowd iu a roar by bU witty
sallies and funny stories.
Ocorge II. Crombachcr, of Portland,
was the next Bpeakcr. He is a dealer In
lubricants In Portland and declared ho
is in the party only by Buffo ranee, and
is one of tho victims of the dealers.
Ho was followed by 0. W. Griffin, of
Eugene, who made a strong talk along
good road lines and culled the especial at
tention of the visitors to tbe Willamette
military road, which be stated will, when
Improved, enablo a man to eat his break
fast in Klamath Falls and his dinner in
Portland. He cited the fact that Lane
county did not owe ono cent on her roads
and yet had, as a whole, the best roads
of any county in the state.
Miss Besaie Hendcrshott sang "Songs
From Katinka," and the "Blue Para
disc," with Charles rfunyan as accom
panist. She and Albert Brown of the
motor party, also sang "A Perfect Day"
and "Mother Macbree."
- Miss Pratt, of Portland, gave a piano
solo, N
M. 0. Wilkins, of Portland, who has
tho excursion in charge, when inter
viewed stated that the rim had been
made according to schedule.
At Albany they had been served with
a splendid dinner and royally treated.
At Corvallis they were given a good time.
Mr. Wilkins stated that in addition to
getting acquainted there were a few
things which it was tbe desiro of tho
members of the association to discuss
with the people, and in which they de
sired the assistance of the press of the
state.
One of these is the failure to observe
the law compelling the dimming of lights.
Many motor car owners, he said wcro
not equipping their curs so that they
can dim the lights. Others who have the
dimmers full to respond to the signal of
an approtichhig car, which by flickering
Its lights shows that the driver asks thut
the other enr dim its lamps, Mr. Wilkins
stated that they met Eugene, cars on the
road between Eugene and Junction City
who were not obeying the law, and urged
that tho district attorney prosecute all
offenders.
Another point which he heliovcd should
'bo taken up, is thut of the speed limit,
lie believes thnt the speed limit in the
stato should be HO miles, tho- same as in
California and Washington instead of 25
miles. He claims thnt it is impossible to
hold a car driver down to 25 miles on
a straight away country road ond that
It is unnecessary, whilo he believes thnt
a limit of HO miles per hour could be
enforced.
