1,000,000 Germans have been killed
ta the battle tone. These are not
being 'replaced by the new genera

low that by next year, it is estimat
ed, the number of births will be
"1,338,000 fewer than if there had
teen no war. Meanwhile mature
and aged civilians have been dying
ff much more rapidly, owing to
hardships Imposed by war condi

to these causes has Increased by
1,900,000 over the normal,

next June the German empire, which
should normally have had 72,000,

against the French.
The French forces operating on
the east bank of the Olse river south
of N'oyon have evacuated the Carle
pont wood and the Germans are
closely pressing them southward, ac
cording to the German official com-
munication Wednesday. The Corn-
'munlratlon also asserts that the ter
ritory on the opposite side of the
river, near where the Mat enters
the stream, has been cleared of the
allied troops.
Nowhere else along the battle
front running from Montdldler to
the region around Xoyon, is any
claim made to further advances by
the Germans.' On the contrary, the

SHOW NEED OE RAIN
Portland, June 13. Irreparable
damage will be done to Oregon crops
unless rsln comes soon, according to
the summary of weather and crop
conditions Issued here by Edward L.
Wells of the weather bureau for the
week ending June 11.
With moderate to high tempera
tures during the past week some
crops have made good growth, but
drought continues over nearly every
portion of the state and most crops
are suffering from lack of moisture,
and unless rain comes soon the dam
age will be Irreparable, says the re
port. Hot dessicatlng winds have
also sggravated conditions and caus
ed much Injury to grains and
grasses. The hot weather, however.
seems to have caused lome relief
from aphis in localities where fears
had been entertained that the In
fested crops were damaged beyond
recovery, but this Insect pest Is still
detrimental in the Willlamette val
ley. Fall grains, which were well root
ed, appear to be in better condition
than the spring sown, but all. need
good rains to Insure even normal
crops, says the summary. Barley Is
ripening In a few places with only a
fair crop Indicated. Rye la general
ly poor and this staple as well as
oats and spring wheat are suffering
for moisture. Winter wheat, al
though still good, la being unfavor
ably affected by the dry winds, the
heads are small and complaints were
received that the crop was beginning
to burn In north-central counties.
Haying has begun In Benton and
Douglas counties under favorable
conditions. The first cuttings of al
falfa have been made In some dis
tricts, the crop being poor and light
and not up to expectations, while
In Irrigated sections It Is growing
well and the first crop Is nearly
ready for harvest. Pastures and
ranges continue poor, and Insuffld.
ent feed Is causing some stork to be
shipped out of the state.
Cherries are maturing In Jackson
and Marlon counties and the hot
weather Is rapidly ripening straw
berries, which latter crop Is not up
to the aserage. The tree fruit out
look Is fair to good in western val
leys, but In other places the pros
pects are not encouraging, although
the frost Injury was not so great as
first anticipated.
The warm weather has stimulated
growth of corn and potatoes and
these crops are doing well, but they
would be greatly benefited by co
pious showers. Truck crops and gar
dens also have shown marked Im
provement during the last few days
and where Irrigation was possible
have made excellent progress. ' '

Here Is a wonderful new CORD Tire.
It is a tire of remarkable STRENGTH and
RESILIENCE plus unequalled immunity from
rim cuts and blowouts.
The sectional view below will SHOW you why
it is so far superior to other tires in WEAR and
COMFORT.
Instead of two or three plies of cord, this supreme tire
has EIGHT. Note that these eight plies of cord
are placed in transverse diagonal layers so that they
give not only the greatest STRENGTH -but also
assure the maximum ELASTICITY.
Vou'll know a new comfort when you equip your
car with these tires. And your tire bill per thousand
miles will be much less.
