Four attacks were made in right hours, and the fourth was successful. Before the Germans could consolidate their Rains, however, the Americans brilliantly counter attacked, driving the Germans back a half-mile, with heavy losses.

Ilia letter is the first to come from an Albany boy which tells of the things the Germans are doing, and will be Instructive rending for those who might bclieve-things hBVe been exaggerated. Following is the letter: April 24, 1918. Dear Dnd nnd Mnmmn: A couple of lays ago I received your letter of Feb. 3. It surely was a long time In reach ing me. My boota thnt Ina had sen, to me are certainly fines I'm going to Hayon- ne tomorrow nnd will wear them on thia trip. I may bo able to get a French "Godmother" that's what they call them over hero. I have been to ao many plncei since l'vo been here that I know pretty well, first handed, juat what dirty, lown dnwn dogs those German lluna are. There ia nothing too cruel or Inhumnn for them to do, chopping children's hnnda off, crucifying old profile, put ting sucks over prisoners hends, and TOTAL FOR COUNTY MAY EXCEED ESTIMATE Six Registering Places Were Opened in County Twlay I I WASHINGTON. June 5. I General i'rowder declared today I that the youngsters registering today will probably be in training I camps before October. j A aurpriaing number of young men who have become 21 aince the laat reg- islratioa for the draft turned up in Albany today. There were 40 regis tered at 1 o'clock and it ia believed that the number will go around 65 be fore the rloae of the day. There are aix registering placea in the county, and if the Albany average ia kept up, more than 200 young men will have regiaU-rrd. The other placea of registering are Brownaville, Har riaburg, Lebanon, Mill City and Scio. The large majority of those regis tering in Albany were farmers, and almost all of these were employed on the farms. The townboys of the reg istering age are apparently in the army. It ia not known how many names the registration will add to class one. It ia lielirved, however, that a large numlK-r of the registrants will be class' one men as but few have de pendents, according to the registrars. It was believed that the total num ber to register today would be less than 200 and aome estimates placed the number as low as 100. On the last draft Linn county had about 185 young men 21 years of age, and it was thought that this number would not be reached this year on account of Ihe fact that many have enlisted. MAYOR CURL WILL TALK TONIGHT AT SCIO GRADUATION Mayor L. M. Curl will go to Scio this evening to make the address at the gradunting exercises to be held there. Mr. Curl was the principal of the Scio schools .10 years ago, and the school authorities asked him to re turn again for the commencement thia evening. When Mr. Curl was the principal of the Scio school the population of the city was larger thnn it is at present At thnt time, according to the statis tics, the city had a populaion of 500, and since that time it has gradually dwindled until it is now credited with 300 inhabitants. Mr. Curl came to Albany from Scio. and haa been in business here ever since. Doubted Tales then heating their brains out, innocu- lating them with tuberculosis and even syphillia are some of their favorite practices. I tell you honest, there has been nothing said that is strong enough to tell how lown down and contemptible they are. I have seen tminloads of refugees and the sight is horrible. Their stories of the German outrages almost unbelievable; nothing too strong rnn lie said against the Hun. Every man over here wants Germany absolutely and finnlly whip ped, that ia. just licked to a finish. Its such a contrast to see how the Ger mnn prisoners in France are treated; comfortable quarters, good meals and not a grent deal of work. The prisoner officers are certainly treated like gen tlemen. They don't work at all. You bet If I was running it thoy would work. I hope that Mamma won't worrv about mo, because I'm getting on fine. av to you all, ROY.

Her two previous attempts to resign were stepped by the club but they were un- .1.1. ho Ia atntf Innmr. She has been secretary of the club for the past 13 months. No other business of importance come before the club at the nieetimr last night. The question of the pro- j posed military highway from British!

County Food Ad ministrstor Our allies and their armies, and our army in Europe must have bread, and they must have bread which will keen sweet and palatable for a reasonable length of time. Owing to the war sit uation, our allies have been nnnble to produce a normal crop of grain for several years. A large per cent of their manpower is engaged in the army and in war work of some kind. Also a large per cent of the female help is engaged in ammunition rac - tories and in other war activities. sides a large portion of France, as well as of Belgium, is occupied by the enemy, and the population has been driven back and must be fed from this decreased area of tillable soil. Troops must have bread carried to the front from bakeries behind the lines; this must of necessity be a dur able raised loaf. Workers in the war fnctories must have bread from com mercial bakeries. The women in the fnctories cannot be bakers also. Their bread must be the durable raised loaf. All France depends on the bakeries for its bread. The people do not know how to make in the home. They have no ovens for making, nor could thev afford fuel for them if they had. All the bread of France and England and Italy today Is war bread. It is made of gray wheat flour which con tains a large per cent of the outer (Continued on Back Page) ia In fairly succemful ienitlon now bag to Aviator Wlb at the start of COLLEGE TRUSTEES Annual Scholarship Given to Those Donating $100 ( ; to the School V ' . DISTINCTLY CHRISTIAN INSTITUTION FAVORED j Mann Bequest May Be Used as Nucleus for New Building Fund The annual meeting of the board of trustees of the college was held Tues- ' day afternoon. The annual report of Acting President Lee showed that the hool year had been passed success ' fully. The faculty for next year will j be about the same as last year with one or two exceptions. It is probable that the Bible chair will be filled with a full time man. These details were left to the faculty committee. A resolution was adopted which pro vides for giving an annual scholarshiD to every person giving $100 in the present canvass for the $15,000 emerg ency fund being subscribed in Albany. A committee was appointed to pre pare an exhibit of the college's affairs for the meeting of Oregon Synod ir July. This committee was also en trusted with working out a policy with reference to building operations and securing a new president. Acting Pres ident Lee insisting on this being the time for selecting a president for the college. Action was taken looking toward ioint control of the college by the Presbyterian and United Presbyterian denominations. A communication from the New York college board brought the matter to the attention of the local board, The new attitude of the New York college board was recognized as more favorable than at any time since the merger matter was proposed. Rev. Dr. Russell, a member of that board jwil, visit Albany in July and make recommendations to tne ynou ana uie board. Hon. Frank J. Miller was reelected president of the board of trustees and Wm. Fortmillcr reelected secretary. The following committee was announc ed on future policy of the college: C, E. Sox, Rev. W. P. White, C. C. Bry ant. Dr. W. H. Lee and A. M. Wil Hams. A resolution adopted provides that all teachers employed in the college shall certify their evangelical faith in such a wny that the college may be made known as an Institution of dis tinct Christian emphasis. No action was taken with reference to the Mann bequest of $15,000, fnas much as the terms of the bequest have not been definitely made known to the hoard. There is a strong feeling In the board that the fund should be us ed as the nucleus for building opera tions on the new campus.
