Newspaper Page TextWednesday Evening, November 21, EUGENE DAILY GUARD Page Two. TO KEEP ORGANIZED State Manager Says Work Just Beginning and Girls Can Help More Than Everv When Miss Ixiclle . Danforth', state manager of tho naOonal Girls' Honor Guard, said that It bad always been dream of bore to come to Eugene and talk to the 356 member in this city, one of the 15 girls assembled for her talk Tuesday night says they felt rather ashamed. Miss Danforth'e mam theme was that the work of the Honor Guard is not over, it has just commenced in earnest, red that tho girls must keep organized, they must revive their enthusiasm and work with all their might. Helping tho nod Cross movement, particularly in tho Mir-! gleal dressings deportment, would bo fine enterprise, Miss Danforth suggested. The girls should consider their chance to work a privilege rather than a sacrifice. Tho girls who heard the state mana ger's talk were very enthusiastic over the suggestions, and will endeavor to build up again the big organization which this city hod a short time ago. Even before Miss Danforth's visit, a number of the local girls had decided to meet every Thurs day night at the Bed Cross headquarters to do surgical dressings. Now, more than ever, it is urged tht every Honor Guardor turn out at 7 each Thursdajs night to swoll the class at headquarters. Eugene is not alone in her losing in terest and becoming disorganized, as Miss Danforth Is making this tour all along the toast with the same message as brought the girls here. she Germans Finally Checked (Continued from page one) Austrian resistance was broken. At Sen Mill, where the enemy had n brief lodge ment, he was forced back until he was driven to the brink of the river and then into tho water. The Austrians were Jay onetted and killed or captured. A colonel 18 miles farther down the river told of a similar fight when the Austrian! ttemptcd to cross In bolts from their positions near Calvecchta. "Our mon are absolutely determined," he said. "Their determination to aold the rher lino is based on experience. You should have seen, them yesterday when the Austrians . tried to cross in boats Tight there," be added, pointing to the stretch where the river widens. "Our men remained silent while they saw the boats ksding and going to mid-stream. Then they opened with machine guns end rifles. The boats and men wero torn to pieces before they got another 20 feet. Not a man wos left alive and all the boats sank. No, you may depend upon it, they will never pass." The appearance of the men fully con firmed the colonel's estimate of their determination. They looked to be in per fect condition with that fine calm and confidence which comes from high mor ale and sureness. The officer gave the correspondent an opportunity to go along the defenses at this point, which are highly important as a part of the works encircling Venice. It was not a pleasant experience as shells were tearing the air and there was a steady rattle from tho sharpshooters. Immediately along the west bank of the river ran an earthen breastworks. It was a terrific tangle for the enmey to face if he ever got across. From a loophole, the Piave could be seen spreading out below-with tho Aus trian lines on the eastern bank. The flash of the enemy's rifles came from windows of farm houses and from the low bushes along the shore and the sound of their bullets showed they were strik ing very near. Passing through Mestre, thrco miles from Venice, a heavy rumble of bom bardment was heard from the fleet and the Venice coast batteries. Deep detona tions could be distingnishd about every five seconds, and then the salvo of many guns, sounding like a broadside. Farther on the correspondent passed one of the Royal Palaces overlooking the Brcnta Canal, which here is as wide ns the Thames, with a stately high bank, Tho king was not '.here, being at head quarters, whence he makes daily visits to the front, moving about quietly and modestly.

Even here the lateness of the season and the difficult nature of the ground at this time of year, particularly seemed to give little basis for expectation of anything more than local strokes. It has been apparent, however, that German attention was largely centered on the Italian front, where the military move in force intended to crush Italy is now in full swing. Admittedly numbers of German troops had been sent to the Italian front, but the assumption has been that these had been largely drawn from the Russian front, where the col lapse of the Russian military machine had made it unnecessary for the tier mans to maintain much more than trench garrisons. It is considered possible, how ever, that the British secret service had knowledge of a weakening of the German front in the west by the withdrawal of highly trained, experienced troops to give backbone to the push in northern Italy, ar opportunity thus being afforded to catch the Germans unawares and hit them a crushing blow while their strat egic reserve In the Franco-Belgian war area was depleted. L Seattle Produce Paper Declares .Lack of groper Grading De moralizes Conditions. From St. Quoutin to the Scnrpo Is thirty-two miles. The British drive covers a part of the field of last year's offensive on the Somme and the section of the Arras bat tle front south of Arras. The British center in this thrust Is nearly opposite Cambral, tho Important German base and railway center, from which the British line on the Bapnume-Cnnibrai road was about nine miles distant, as it hnd stood for several months past. The main foroc of the push just launched is apparently aimed at Cambral, along this road. What Is known ns the Hindenburg lino was "s tnlilished by the Gorman command lint spring when the famous "strategic re treat" on the Somme front was carried out. It was n supposedly impregn.tblc barrier. The British and French, however, showed in the Arras battle last sp.-lng nud in tho French drive on tht Alsnc front, that the line was by no menus a bar to their progress and serious inroads were made upon it, in attacks on both these fronts. No definite break, ttow ever,' sufficient to permit the pcuctrati.in of .n large force which could debouch for largo field operations had ever been effected. The British movement In Its early phases gives the appearance of being th most ambitions that has ben undertaken by them on the western front since the creation of their new armies gave them the powi to strike effective blows.
