There has been some discussion by members of congress as to whether tho United States should not sell thoso obligations of the allies and tints avoid lite necessity for raising a largo amount of revenue which must uutlerllo fttiure huuis.

This conquest over disorganized and mutinous Kussian troops who refused to liK'Ht and abandoned tiieir delenses is as near to a uer- man victory as it is possible to get to cheer up and stimu late rue erman people tho it profits nothing in con ducting the war. There hav.o been no celebrations over victories on the western trout since the war began. There, after the first, rush of troops after 4:i years of preparation and the seiz ure oi an unprotected portion, ot France, thru troaclicrv and dishonor, the defeat of tho Germans in the kittle or the Alarm- checked the victorious advance to Paris and since then the territory held by Germany . lias steadih shrunk. No one can hut admire the magnificent liViit. vnmA for three years by France against tin enemy vastly supe rior in strength, resources ami preparation." Foot by foot, France has driven the enemy back towards his own bor ders, and, with the co-operation of the British and" Amer icans, will in another year expel (Jermahy entirely. men: jias neon no normal) celebration of the capture ol erduii. ror six months the i lower and strength of the dcrmaii tinny was hurled against, the French citadel t:nd now, after 18 months, the French havo not onlv re gained ground lost in the first attacks, but advanced their lines beyond whore they were when the great offensive begun. t The exhaustion of France has long been heralded by the kaiser and the French reply has boon not only the Ver dun defense and offensive, but the Aisno offensive and participation with Britain in the successful offenses along the Nomine and tit Ypros, still in progress. The bloodiest batt Io of the year was the crown prince's great offensive on the C'bomin-tlcs-D.-imes, but recently taken by the French in the Aisno drive. For three months, night and day, the German masses were thrown against the now French lines. For the first time during the war concentration of artillery and lavish use of men failed to gain the attacker a foot of territory. TJioro has been no celebration of victory by Germany! whenevor or wherever French met, German, nor will there lit; any, lor Americans will do lor France what France di for America in the revolutionary war.

The com mitteo of the Twelfth Russian army, before leaving ltiga, left an appeal printed In German and addressed to the German soldiers, pointing out that the latter wero making war on tho side of the autocracy and. against a revolution ot liberty and justice. The appeal said: "A victory of Kaiser AVillielm would mean the end of democracy and lib erty. Wo are leaving Higa, but we know the revolutionary spirit will prove stronger than your cannon; wo know that in the end your consclcnco will see more clearly and that you will march on to victory and liberty, side by sido with tho revolutionary army. 'Your strength Is greater than ours but your superiority Is merely of physical and material force. Moral forco is on our side. History will re late that the German proletariat marched against their'ltussian broth ers, forgetting tho dictates of inter nal solidarity." BELGIAN RELIEF ....ST. JOHN'S, IC. P., Sept. 11.

XoW with September 15, 1 women's registration day, lis jiro cliiimed by Governor Williyeombe, so close, the women of Medford are facing anollicr oportunity to show that Jackson county sluiuls ready tl give us liberally as she has already done.

Satur day, September IS during the after noon and cvonimr. The Medford organization several welts ago at its first meeting elected Mrs. K. X. Warner ns chairman anil Miss Murko secretary. At the sec ond meeting lust Thursday at the li brary a committee was appointed to work out local details for this reg istration, litis committee consists of Mrs. K. X. Warner, Srrs. C. Sehicffclin, Mrs. W. T. Grieve, M-s Stewart I'utterson, J. M. Snetlieor, Mrs. T. E. l'ottinger, Mrs. 'Leonard and Mrs. Crews. Registering does not mean tlint ihe one who thus signifies her ability and desire to serve in a certain e.i pacily will be called upon immediate ly to serve but it does menu that should this war continue for soy ernl years, the government will know where to find capable women to carry out its instructions. Those who ant rending know what the French and English women lire dtring today and qnr turn mny come nil too soon. Who can predict? But we must he ready. This is our war, and we must fight shoulder to shoulder wiih the men. This is not a slnte or local move- Lemons Whiten and Beautify the Skin!
