another operation northeast of
Vprcs at duwn today on the battle
Hcnrrod ground between Langemarek
and Frczenlierg". No details are yet
available from this sector, which was
tho scene of some of the heaviest
figliling last Thursday in tho assault
by the Hritish.
Meanwhile tiie conflict continued
about .ens, Iho apparently dimin
ished in intensity, witli the Canadians
still holding the Germans off from
the positions which they had gained
in Iho southwestern part of tho city
and at -the same time clinging tenac
iously to the numerous new pusls in
tho German line on the northwestern
section.
In Lens Sector.
Fierce hand-to-hand fighlinir eon
tinned late into the night, especially
in I he northwest portion, which lies

This morning- the advantage rested
with the British, and nowhere had

criticism of Itussiii by any Ameri
can is rankly unjust and that what
the real situation calls for is the ut
most sympathy, but not a word of
blame.
Ileset by lllffb iiltlcs.
Beset by thousand difficulties and
dangers, problems and perplexities
such us no nation has ever faced, nil
kinds of difficulties of which you in
this country have never heurd nor
suspected nor dreamed, Russia hns
kept on with the most amazing forti
tude and resolution, und when you
come to know the whole story you
will be filled with wonder that she
has done ns well as she has.
None but a very great people could
have pulled out of that hole.
Hut for today I want to talk about
our own country.
You think the question whether
Russia will fight depends upon lius
sia. Let me tell yon something.
It depends far more upon you.
You have no need to worry about
Russia so far us she herself and
alone is concerned. You have more
reason to worry about the United
States.
I come home to find (hat nt the
worst possible moment Hint the devil
himself could devise, this nation is
listening to u horde of traitors, Ger
man agents, selfish politicians nnd
chicken-hearted peaee-at-uny-pricers
babbling a. lot of si tiff loaded willi
the deadliest peril for Russia and for
America.
Doing Kaiser's Dirty Work.
I see members of congress Hint un
rebuked introduce resolutions for a
peace conference or demand n state
ment of the terms of peace or other
wise do Potsdam's dirtiest work.
1 hear of "peace conventions" and
"iH'iicc leagues" at a lime when ev
ery word nbout peace spoken in the
United States is worth to the kaiser
as much us u battalion taken from
tiie Russian side nnd a battalion add
ed to Ihe Gcrmiin side.
The men tlmt do these things take
a poisoned dagger and drive it at the
heart of their country.
If you have not been in Russia
you do not know, you have not a
guess of tho terrible possibilities
concealed in (his muniacat or de
praved fooling with death nnd de
struction. Let liitssia gather from nil I hose
astounding performances the idea
thai the Coiled Slates will not crowd
on ev ery pound of si cum and will mil
put forth every element of her
'strength it is all off.
Hunger of ll Collapse.
For the only conclusion that Kus
sia can draw then is Hint Ihe I'niled
Stales is about lo desert the alli
ance, the Coiled States is insincere
and dishonest, Hie cause of the al
lies is hopelessly lost and nothing is
left except for each member of it to
do as Ihe Cnilcd Slates seems to be
doing und look tint for itself.
You would see then a real collapse
on the Russian front imllinjr down
upon us the most eolossul nnd alinosl
irrelrievulile disaster in human his
tory. The spcclucle, Ihereforc, of Ibcse
men in Washington takiui; such u
chance of such ruin impending ubovc
us is enough to strike one breathless.
It is exacllv lis if there were stor
ed in u wnrchoiisc a million open bar
rels of giant powder ami Senator von
Schinckon or. Senator Foehlewit
should walk thru it airily flourishing
a blaiug pine torch.
Cost of t'cuco Talk,
! .en ni the truth und look at il
sipmrely. If these men in congress
and elsewhere keep on lis they are
going now Ihey will cost I li is. country
five yours of war, two million Ameri
can lives and twenty-five billion
Amcricnu dollars.
This is the real meaning of your
SHUTS OFF WATER
Unconscious of doing; It and mere
ly performing their dally routine the
water consumers of Medford made a
fine showing for the city toda,y when
a test of how, well the people com
piled with the city rules to shut off
all lawn and garden Irrigation when
the fire whllstlo blows was made by
C. A. Maury of Portland tlfh represen
tative of the Oregon Fire Underwrit
ers association.
When tho siren whistle was first
blown ahout 10:30 a. m., the water
pressure jumped up 30 pounds Inside
of a minute, Bhowlng that all irrigat
ing had suddenly ceased. An hour
later a further tost was made with
the same splendid result.
Water Superintendent Arnsplger
and his assistant, John T. Conrad, as
sisted In making the test. " Citizens
generally when the fire whistle blew
thought that It was for a fire and
rushed to shut off their hose connections.
With all the wonderful amount of
timber nt Hie very doors of iredford
und the valley, il now seems to be
an established fact that there will
not be enough boxes to ship out nt
least half the apple crop this full.
Timber for boxes cannot be obtained
at any price, it is said. The entire
northwest faces this box lumber
shortage.
Tiie situation which faces tho fruit
growers and shippers of the valley
is a serious ono und is causing a
number of them to sit up nights with
worry. A few of the moro fore
sighted suspected this situation two
months or more ngo, and now nil
have come to full realization of what
they are up against.
Most of the boxes in which it was
expected that tiie Rogue ltiver valley

apple crop would be shipped out are
still in the standing timber. Appar
ently there is no way out of Hie dil
emma. There will be enough boxes to ship
out all the near crop, however.1
The box lumber shortage is due to
various causes, but the main reason
is that the mills got such a late start
in operating. The shortage of help
is also another important factor. A
third reason is that the extreme high
prices the eastern people are paying
is attracting shipments of lumber of
nil grades to that territory, even tho
box grades, which are not the best
by any means.
Hood River is planning to ship ap
ples in boxes made of puper. He
cause of the shortage of wooden
boxes, caused by strikes in Puget
Sound mills, negotiations hnve been
opened for the supplying of so vera I
carloads of heavy cardbonrd con
tainers for Hie apple crop soon to bo
harvested.
