The reception accorded the Courier' aaaaal Bargain Day for llt Is fall proof Uat the people of Grants Pass district are experiencing a measure of prosperity that has not been present for a n amber of rears past That a fraction more than 45 per cent of the Courier's entire list ot atrbecrfbers should make cash pay ment for tie paper a full year la ad waace upon the one day is nothing short of remarkable. It is a record aerer heretofore equalled by the Courier, and It has bad some remark able bargain days before. From morning till night the force in the business office was kept busy waiting vpoa the sabscriberB who came to pay their compliments and their sub scription, and the cash register kept np a merry jingle that made the aeart of the publisher respond with Joy. It Is an encouraging condition when the people of the community can take advantage of the oppor tunity to tare a dollar by payment for their dally paper a full year in advance. It shows that the dollars an easier to obtain than they hare keen on soma previous years. Like wise, it shows that the publle appre ciates its dally paper and stands ready to produce the sinews ot war. Numerous new subscriptions were re served oa the day, and the Courier sow claims to as fully cover its field as any paper in the northwest. There are few homes in its territory where tie Courier is not found. MALHEUR PROJECT OPPOSED. The national association of Audu bon societies is up in arms because of the threatened destruction of the largest federal bird reservation In the United States. The project for the draining of Lake Malheor, in central Oregon, will destroy this refuge with in which game birds can nest and rear their young undisturbed by the man with the gun. The Malheur preserve now gives sanctuary to many thousands of ducks, geese, swan, and other water fowl, where , they are permitted to breed undis turbed, and the recent application for permission to drain the lake and make agricultural land of its bed baa raised a large-sized commotion. The lake is six miles wide and 15 miles long, with a depth of about six feet. Secretary Pearson has taken the matter up with the officials of the general land office, who hare prom ised to investigate. It is understood that those who plan the destruction of the bird reservation have already secured the co-operation of the state land board of Oregon. For that rea son, Mr. Pearson regards the situa tion as Imminent and believes it will require quick and earnest appeals to . the secretary of the interior from those who believe in the protection of wild birds to prevent the destruc tion of the colony. . "There are about Ave million guns in the United States," said Mr. Pear Ion, "and the only way to preserve our migratory game birds is to have these sanctuaries aress in which they can never be killed, under any circumstances."

The Germans battered the Cham pagne front heavily in five attacks in force. Russian troops, part of the contingent landed at Marseilles, storped every assault, the French war office announced, inflicting heavy losses on the Teutons. The French struck northwest of Verdun. The German war office ad mitted that German trenches were penetrated on Dead Man's hill, the burial ground for thousands of the crown prince's troops In the attempt to take Verdun from the west bank of the Meuse. The only activity on the Somme front occurred south of the river, where the French wsr office this af ternoon claimed a slight advance east of Berny. The German war office admitted the British gains east of Glnchy and near Combles, reported by General Haig last night, but announced the repulse of all French attacks. In the Balkans the pursuit ot the Bui gars, who have evacuated prac tically all northwestern Greece, is be ing practically held up. partly "by Bulgarian counter-attacks and partly by the necessity of bringing up allied artillery. Serbians, French snd Rus sian troops are now menacing the Bulgarian base at Monastir. now less than eight miles away. The German war office announced fresh victories over the Russians on the eastern front and the capture of 2,542 more prisoners. The German official statement re ported the repulse of Russo Roumanian attacks in the Car pathians, near Dorna Vatra, with heavy losses, and also the repulse of Roumanian attacks southeast of HaUeg.

Sept Housewives from every corner of the United States have beea asked to meet In Xew York next Monday at the session of the National Bread commission of the National Housewives' league, in an effort to determine what steps shall be taken to meet the Increased cost of bread. Gloom hanja over New York bakers today, for, despite the fact that they have shown figures Intended to prove that an increase in the price of their product Is necessary to their exis tence, they face Investigation by the federal trade commission and ordin ance enactment by the board of alder men prescribing the sale of bread by weight rather than by the loaf. "The situation looks very critical, both for the producer and the con sumer," said Mrs. Julian Heath, pre sident of the Housewives' league to day. She has been Investigating bread prices for the past three weeks. "From the figures presented and from my investigation. It would seem that perhaps an Increase Is Justified. but we want to be shown and we wsnt to bring about some remedy which will lessen the burden on both the Industry and the consumer," Mrs. Heath declared. Big bakers today presented figures to show that either a higher price or a smaller loaf is inevitable. Coal bag gone up more than 10 per cent, the bakers state. Paper for wrapping bread has gone up. Master bakers throughout the country have been instrumental In seeking an in quiry, according to Mrs. Heath, and hope that it may suggest a solution for the problem.

His audience gave him a tremendous reception of cheers and applause. For the most part the theme to which the candidate addressed him- ,elf was "democracy's broken prom ises," and to a recounting of the re publican party's achievements.

(By Mail.) Dr. Judah Leon Magnes, noted New York rabbi, was barred from j Russia, not becaute was a Jew, (but because his public utterances had classified him as pro-German. Attorney Henry Sllozberg, a lead ing Jew member of the Jo-v!nh Re lief committee,, and for ?0 yar. an 'artive Israelite worker, nnde this statement today. He eviaind why Dr. Magnes was refusal It-i'sslop to Russia after he had com" to Ei.rope to distribute a f'ind for r'l'-'f of Jew ish refugees from lh mar rone, raised in America. j "I am not acquaint with Dr. Magnes personally, but 1 know hlm ,by reputation as a man of absolutely honest convictions," said SMorberg. "He possesses a forceful chararter, but if he Is pro-German an,1 .V1 things he Is reported to have said !u speeches, I am not surprised that he was not permitted to enter Russia. I believe the same thing would have happened In England, France or even America, if America were at war and a known antl-Ameriran wished to enter. "Dr. Magnes was not barred be cause be is a Jew, but because of his opinions. I am certain that some other Jew might not have been re fused. Personally I regret that he was barred for had he come to Pet rograd, I am sure I could have con vinced him that the Jews here are Russians first and Jews afterwards. I am Russian myself, but were I not, and simply as a Jew, asked myself which was best for my people, a Rus sian victory or a Russian defeat, I would say a Russian victory and a victory for the allies. I believe I could have convinced Magnes of this. If his co-religionists abroad are de sirous of siding the cause of the Jews, they will serve best by aiding the Russians." Dr. Magnes wss halted st Stock holm by the refusal of the Russian government to permit him to enter. COINCIDENCE IN DEATH Of TWO MEN A coincides?, the nature of which probably was never equaled in tor history of Douglas County or south- era Oregon, stands out prominently In connection with the sudden and unexpected deaths of Paul H. Wal ters, who dropped dead near Grants Pass at 4 o'clock Friday afternoon and J. F. Luse, of Sulherltn. a ho expired suddenly on the street of the latter city Saturday night.
