' AMERICA'S PART IN THE WAR America's part In the winning of the war will no doubt be largely In dustrial. If England and France and Russia can be assured of a constant apply of the munitions of war and of the essentials for the sustenance of the men at the front and of the civil population, they can carry the battle home to the kaiser in short order, and victory will surely be not far distant . The undertaking of a pro gram pf ship building whereby the Atlantic will be practically bridged fcy commerce carriers will solve the submarine menace. American ship builder can soon be . putting two craft into the water for every one that the submarine can sink, so that even should the divers continue their operations, the worst they could do would be to waste millions of dollars . worth of ships and good . without helping them to win the war. Without this matter of subsistence settled, it would be worse than use less to send Americans to Europe, snd the administration I proceeding on the line that we must first give aid to the armies already in the field'' In the meantime, thousands of young Americans will he learning the war fame, and If the assistance rendered by the United State does sot pnt the allies In position to bring the war to a speedy termination, the transportation of troops can tfcen proceed. Colonel Roosevelt, with the same fire snd vim that hare characterized him from the first day he entered public life, has asked permission to raise an army for the European hat tie front. If the lists could be thrown open, there Is no doubt an army would line up behind the rough rider In short order. Enlisting as they ' would with the definite knowledge that they were to go to Europe, and combining the spirit of adventure with the fire of patriotism, Roosevelt eonld land In Prance with an army that might well strike terror Into the hearts of the Germans. There Is merit to the colonel's proposition, snd the United States might do well to permit the raising of this army - even if It felt that the time was not yet ripe for a general movement of regularly enlisted troops. ' : The people of the nation are re sponding In noble manner to the call of their country, and every day sees young men flocking to the colors, while those who can best be used In other branches than that of the first line, are enrolling In the ranks of the reservists. There will be no lack of men and' women In what ever, branch of the ser.vlce they may be required,' and If the time ever comes that troops are needed to cross TAKE ANOTHER MILE FROM HINDENBURG With the British Army In France, April IS.

One other bit of desperation was In the repeated and fruitless at tempts by German airmen to fly over the British lines snd learn where Halgs blows might next be expected. A swarm of British airmen patrolled the sir. Fantastic battles occurred almost hourly today as the German flyer were literally swept out of the ky. Among prisoners taken today were many Bavarians. They were bitterly denunciatory of the German leaders. The Bavarians claimed they had been hurried to the Arras sector to relieve the Saxons and had not been told of The Typewriter Bargains 1 Remington Visible, H-tUil ly new, new platen and new ribbon W0.00 1 Underwood No. S, new platen and rlbtxm In ttrsl el shape 9,15.00 I Royal No. 10, used slightly for demonstrating SM0.00 1 Itlrrkentlerfer In wood carry. cane, almost new .gfl.00 i The Remington la the beat bar gain in second hand machines we have ever had.

The German army chiefs, astounded at the tremendous, un ceasing strength of the British smash, are using prisoners of war to dig trenches, thus relieving a few more German fighters, while the word has gone out for reinforcements.

Temple Market "And it's GOOD Butter" Because it is made by TTblVER BANK sllA Creamery s sire or purpose of the county court or commissioners to get Into a con troversy with Dr. Reildy or any other individual, and If It had not been for the prominence that the Courier gave to the remarks of Dr. teddy ut the luncheon at the Cham ber of Commerce Monday evening no attention would have been paid to the remarks or recall threat of Dr. Roddy. However, thinking that some people might resd the account of this meeting and not knowing the quality of atmosphere In which Dr. Reddy circulates we trust that you will give this article as much prominence as you did the statement made by Dr. Reddy. In reply to Mr. Rcddy's statements In regard to the proposition of the proposed rosd down the Illinois river, we wish to state that there was at no time any such statement made by anyone to the county court, either singly or collectively, and It Is fnlse In its purport. No mine owners or anyone else ever offered to put up half the cost of a road down this river, and the taxpayers of this coun ty can rest assured that before the county court would construct such a road the aforesaid mine owners would have to put up the money In ad vance, which education we have re ceived from past experiences. Relative to anyone starting a re call upon the county court and com missioners, will Itate that It Is some thing that I not courted, but If It Is necessary let It come. However, It Is a common remark when the county court does not do Just what some Individual wants them to do for 'someone with an $8.44 personal tax 1 capacity to begin to howl for a recall. In regard to the (bonding of the county for roads, If Dr. Reddy knows that In order for Josephine county to Issue say bonds for road purposes It would be necessary to got legislation to first refund outstanding warrants which would b at .least 1140,000 more .than the constitution of the state will allow this county to bond Itself, for. Josephine county has out standing warrants vow to the amount of 1 157,000 snd as we would be al lowed to bond for two per cent of our assessed valuation which la ap proximately 19,000,000 w would be allowed to bond for 1173,000 and we would be obliged to refund our out standing warrants, which would leave us about 195,000 In the hole before we got started, snd thts being In the hole Is what prevents us at the pres ent time from building much needed roads In the county that are needed Just as much as s boulevard down the Illinois river. It Is sll very well for a man with a selfish motive to howl about the county building roads but who pays .the taxes? Not Dr. Reddy, certainly, 's the amount he paid Josephine county tn taxes last year was only M.44 and that waa on an automobile, and If the county court remembers right he and the Waldo mine said they would donate $150 towards graveling the Takllma road; but did they do It? Not to It was noticeable' to the naked eye. The county court and commission ers are Just as much In favor of good roads as Dr. Reddy or anyone else, but they will not stand for roads to be built to please any one set of peo ple and especially Into sections where there It no taxable property. The road that hnsbeen ruined by the ex cessive loads of ore six months ago was one of the best roads In south ern Oregon for a dirt road, and so acknowledged by the public. At a conservative estimate It will tnke at least $10,000 to replace the damage that has been done this road. Are the people of the Illinois valley wil ling to stsnd for this? They sny not. Whst have the people of the rest of the county to say? Do they want all the money spent In repairing a stretch of road to benefit a few mine owners or people who Just hold op tions on mines? We think not and 'at least are willing to leave It up to Uhem. - : It tins been stated that a cerluln mine shipped f 1(0,000 worth of cop per ore last season. Now aro they willing to let their output be sses sed at Its full value as the farms and other property of the county and city are? If so we would be sblo to build roads to suit nil. , There are no farms In the county out what are sssessed for more than any one year crop val ue. C. 0. aiLLBTT. County J mine. M.
