A LONG WAT TO THE BORDER
No one with the possible excep
tion of General Foeh knows wbat
the next month's fighting will deter
mine on the western front. Some
of the hardest fighting and one of
the main drives) now being waged
by the allied forces Is In the vicinity
, of Ham. As the crow flies . It Is
i
about BO miles from Ham to the Bel
gian border and 120 miles to the
German border. The allies hare been
driving back the Germans a few
miles each day, losing some men and
inflicting severe losses on the enemy,
bat it is a long way yet to the Ger
man border. Those who hope -or a
termination of the great conflict this
year are probably doomed to disap
pointment. The rapid retreat of the Huna
would seem to Indicate one of two
things: They are . hopelessly out
numbered and are lighting against
superior artillery and other destruc
tive engines of war and must of ne
cessity fall back, many of tbe Ger
man units having lost their former
dash, or else they are making rapid
retreat along the entire western
front with the hopes of settling Into
more favorable fighting ground.
This latter theory Is advanced by
, Borne military experts. One dispatch
from the front statea that the Ger
mans are settling Into a great defen
sive position directly before the Am-
erlcan-French advance and have
merely been throwing out machine
gun companies to check the allied
advaifce in this sector.
8tudylng the war map and noting
the present daily advance of the al
lied forces, it is reasonable to not ex
pect the allies to reach the German
border before next summer. PresI
dent Wilson has hinted that he does
not expect a termination of hostili
ties before 1920. General Crowder
is -pointing out the urgent need for
expedition in filling out the ques
tionnaires so that more men may be
drawn for Immediate service. He Is
anxious to have the registranta on
their way to cantonments by the lat
ter part of October.
It is predicted that after the great
registration of 18,000,000 men next
Thursday the United States will see
the greatest activity in military cir
cles yet displayed. Efficiency in
training will be pushed with all pos
sible speed and everything polnta to
an American army of probably four
million men In France by next June.
Then the grand finale to Prussian
militarism will be launched and

TUB SPIRIT OF PROGRESS
There are two way a of attaining a
desired result doing It ourselves or
paying others to do It tor us. The
first means that we aave our money,
while the other meana that wa not
only payafor the actual eost of the
work, but pay a profit besides.
Aa with the Individual, so It la
with a community. Through organ
isation and cooperation aeveral In
dividual may do a piece of wont too
large for one person to undertake
and thua aave money on the trans
action. This la particularly true of
tbe Irrigation situation In the Rogue
river valley today, therefore the
landowners west of the city Intend
to solve their Irrigation problems
by doing the work themselves and
thua attain their desires at the least
possible cost.
With wbat financial assistance
they can secure they Intend to cap
italize their brains and brawn and
engineer their own proposition. The
result will be that when their. Irri
gation system Is completed the cost
111 he small compared to the bene
fit to be reaped, and they will bave
Irrigation at a reasonable rate for
many years to come.
It la to the Interest of every per
son, landowner and city resident, to
help push the Issue to a successful
conclusion, aa their interesta are mu
tual and each must see the other
prosperous to make a success of his
own business.
There are several thousand acres
of good land within a few mites of
Grants Pass which need only the
magic touch of water to convert this
district Into one of the richest tab-
lies in the west. The amount of
wealth that would result from plac
ing these lands under the ditch Is
not easily computed. Possibly four
or five thousand acres of the land
would yield abundantly tf seeded to I
clover or alfalfa, while the balance
There la so much egotism beneath
tbe German skull that truth la slow
of absorption, yet by next aummer
every Hun will understand that
President Wilson meant exactly what
he said when he stated that he
would never make peace with the
kalaer or any of hla lying autocrats.
It la estimated that nearly 70,000
slackers were rounded up In New
Tork and the anrronndlng districts
In the recent slacker ralda. Pretty
good evidence that tbe "tall uncut"
la not the only place to hunt for the
cowardly, unpatriotic species.

BEAIWErai.
County Agents Thompson and
Cate of Josephine and Jacksou coun
ties, are endeavoring la organise a
"bean growera1 association" In
southern Oregon. Tbey held meet
ing at Rogue River last Wednesday
and will hold a meeting at Provolt
tomorrow at I o'clock p. m. Tbe
object of the bean growera' associa
tion, says Mr, Thompson, la to raise
dry beana on a large - commercial
scale and find a ready market for
them. ,
The marketing of dry beana la an
eaay matter, aa they art command
ing an attractive price. There are
a number of Inatancea In California
during the paat two aeasons where
growers have rented land and more
than paid for the aanie from the flrat
crop. Mr. Thompson believes the
Rogue river valley an Ideal place to
grow beana and la confident that
with united efforta the ranchers of
the valley can be persuaded to grow
thousands of bushels of this staple
product next aeason.
Music teachers, musicians of all
classes, lawyers, printers and real
estate men are on the anxtoua seat
and look with apprehension upon the
coming draft. All these professions
are likely to be placed on the non-essential
list.
Aa a proof that old men can "come
back,' they have won honors In tak
ing a prominent part In hunting
down the Hun tT-boats. Much credit
la due the older men for destroying
the tT-boat menace.
From the way our marlnea are
tearing through the German ranks
It is safe to predict that when a Ger
man meets a marine a hundred yeara
hence he will take off hla hat to fie
American.
