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.

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.

No man or woman who eats meat
Togulnrly con make a mistake by flushing
the kidneys occasionally, says a well
known nuthority. Meat forms uric acid
which excites the kidneys, they become
overworked from the strain, get sluggish
and fall to filter tho waste and poisons
from the blood, then wo get sick. Nearly
nil rheumatism, headaches, liver trouble,
nervousness, dizsincsB, sleeplessness and
urinary disorders come from sluggish
kidneys.
The moment you feel a dull nche in
the kidneys or your back hurts or if the
urine is cloudy, offensive, full of sedi
incut, Irregular of passago or attended
by a Bonsntlon of scalding, stop eating
meat and get about four ounces of .Tad
Salts from any pharmacy; take a bible
spoonful in a glass of water beforo
breakfast and in a few days your kid
neys will act fine. This famous salts
is made from the acid of grapes nnd
lemon juice, combined with llthia, and
has been used for generations to flush
and stimulate the kidneys, also to neu
tralize the acids in urino so it no longer
causes irritation, thus ending bladder
wenkuess.
Jnd Sails is inexpensive nnd cannot
injurs; makes n delightful offerveseent
llthlii-wivtcr drink which everyone should
take now and then to keep the kidneys
clean and active nud 'the blood pure,
thereby avoiding serious kidney complications.

the possibility of a British attack in
force on the western front this fall- in
any area other thnn that of Flanders,
where the main British effort for several
months past has been expended. 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.

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

by them on the western front since the
creation of their new armies gave them

only premonitory symptoms being a se
