I'lKlititiK Value "Fiuhtin value: The second American division may he classified as a very ood division, perhaps even us assault troops, the various attacks of both regiments on ltd lean wood were carried out wilh dash and recklessness. The moral effect of oiitvJ'irenrins did not materially cheek the advance of the infantry. The nerves of the Americans are still un shaken. "Value of the individual: The hi dividuul soldiers are very ood. They are healthy, vigorous nnd physically well developed men of nes rnnini: froni 18 to L'H, who, at present, lack only necessary traiuiu to make them redonhtnhle opponents. A remark ol one of the prisoners is indicative of their spirit : 'We kill or cot killed. Method of Attack "Method of attack: In hoth at tacks on Melleaii wood, which were carried out hy one oV two hatlalions, the following method of attack was minuted "ThiVe or four lines of skirmishers at ahoul '10 to 50 paces distant; rather close behind these, isolated as- sault parlies in platoon column.

Whut is it like to lie the crew of a German subma rine which is seal to the. bottom by allied destrovers? A Hrilish submarine's crew which rcccntlv Jiad a narrow escape from sinking knows, because it had the ex perience and emne oat alive, from the drv official sources has been call ed this remarkable story of human endlirance anil nerves of steel. Tho Kritish under-sen craft was cruisin;; on the North Ken when it sighted several Herman destroyers, s onear (hut it was forced to dive, at the greatest speed; So lanid was the descent that the submarine's helm juiaiaeil. Before the commander could riRht his craft, H violent explosion, caused by n dentb charge fired by one of the Herman bonis, shook the vessel. So severe was the concussion that the crew were lifted off their feet. I'nable to stop the descent of the submarine, the commander was forc ed to dive to the bottom of the sea. A hasty examination showed that the boat was undamaged except for the janiiiiiln; of the helm. There was nothiuc; to do hut lie quiet on the hot torn and hide from the pursuers. There came n second explosion, as violent as the first All motors were stopped nnd even the ventilating fintiaratus was shut off. IMiriii!? the 20 minutes following the craft was again carefully exam ined, without signs ofa leakage. . Suddenly the stout hearts of those on hoard were shaken to the limit of their endurance. A loud, scraping noise swept the vessel from stem to stem. It was a trawler's sweep, trying to locate the submarine. If it caught on "the con ning tower or entangled a rudder, tin men were lost. Slowly the scraping passed along the boal 'iiud then ceased, after what seemed hours to the breathless crew. The sweep bail left the vessel free. Hardly had ' this menace passed when a third explosion, more violent than the oilier two, again shook the craft. Again tlie boat was examined for traces of dumage, ami . when none was found steps were taken to put her in trim again, notwithstanding the fact that at any moment tho at tack might be renewed. , Hut tin1 hunters apparently believ ed that the depth charges had done their work, and there were no more explosions. For eight hours longer, however, the suluuarine remained on the bottom, and then cautiously ap proached the surface and returned to its base. i The commander praised highlv the spirit of his men when facia" death. Throughout the whole time thev showed no sign of panic. FEDERAL FARM LOANS E WASHINGTON", July 13.

Pattison, former editor and publisher of the Central Point Herald, and his family, will deeply sympathise with them in their present misfortune, as in the big $200,000 fire which destroyed five blocks in lleppner, Ore., last week, Mr. Pattison's newspaper plant and their home and all household furni ture were burned, up. In tin editorial in his newspaper, the lleppner Her ald, a few daV-s later on, Air. Pattison plaintively explains the abbreviated nppcaran.ee of the paper and appeals to subscribers in part, as follows: "The Herald npieait u day late this week and in tabloid form due to certain circumstances over which the publisher had no control. To be brief and frank with this tale of woe the Herald has no more of a printing plant this morning than n rabbit has fighting qualities and the publisher and his family have no more house hold goods nnd not much more cloth ing than n family of sparrows. Kv crvthing in home and office was com pletely wiped out in Thursday's fire and it is only because of the courtesy and true neighliorliness of Mr. Craw ford nnd tho fla.ette.-Tiines force that we are able to appear even in condensed form and only one day late. "The only thing saved out of the entire wreck was the books from the office containing our subscription and advertising accounts and these accounts constitute the Herald's en tire working cupital on this fine July morning. These accounts, mostly on the subscription list, approximate some $1,200 or $l,.ri00 in sums rang ing from $1.50 to $0.00, and the pub lisher feels that, under the circum stances, he is entirely justified in asking every subscriber, who is not a lire sufferer himself, to come through promptly with the cash or a check for the amount due, and if so dis posed for a vear or so in advance. 'We need this money npw, more than wo ever needed money before and we have enough faith in the peo ple of lleppner and .Morrow county as good sports and believers in the square deal to know that they are go ing to come through nnd give the Herald another chance." Who ' Has a Good War-Time Product? CONSIDER, Mr. Business Man, how many fixed habits are being upset by the war. A hundred million people are radically changing Iheir diet. Some fundamental foods are restricted, some have almost disappeared. Some have soared so high that substitutes today are finding unexampled welcome. So In wearing apparel. So in countless lines which feel the pinch of scarcity or price. Cost of living is a surging topic now. Millions want ideas on economy. Spreading prohibition brings about another tremen dous change. New beverage habits are forming. Familiar luxuries will be more and more restricted or tabooed. Other interests must supplant them. Restricted importation is revising vast demands Later shortage brings new labor-saving needs. Never before have established customs faced r.uch sudden, vast upheaval. Conditions have in one year brought about a century of change. These departing habits were largely fixed by adver tising. Coming habits must be fixed in like way. These new habits many of them will outlive the war. Those who help to fix them will forever profit by them. The changes are urgent, the field is new, the demands cue universal. Products which accord with present-day conditions have an unexampled chance'. Men who intro duce them will be serving both their purse and patriotism. We want to talk with men equipped to meet these new-day needs. We have marketing experience which you need. We know" conditions well.. We have ways of quickly proving or disproving seeming opportunities. We know hew to create and how to supply a nation wide demand at once, and at minimum risk. We have done it a thousand times. This experienced ability will prove invaluable to men in position to use it. Let us discuss these questions and at once if you have something suitable.

So success ful has been the work of the admir alty salvaging department that hopes are now being raised tlftt some of the larger vessels torpedoed by the Germans may yet be recovered. It Is not too much to hope that the Lusltania may some day be raised, for salvaging methods are steadily being Improved and the efficiency ot the department Is being Increased. From January, 1915, to January 1918, the admiralty recovered 260 merchant ships sunk by the Germans in British waters. This year, up to the first of Juno, 147 ships have been salvaged, or more than half the num ber recovered last year. This increase Is not due to the greater activity of- U-boats, but to more efficient salvage methods. Moil Are. Heroic The salvage wprkers are doing as heroic work as sailors in a sea battle or the men at the front. iMany times their lives are In peril. One salvage vessel was torpedoed while at work oh a wreck. Gases fSrmed by rotting cargoes In tho holds of sunken ves sels have killed the workmen. In many cases work which han taken days to perform Is swept away by a heavy sea. One of the most brilliant achieve ments of the department was the raising of a collier partly filled with coal, on top of which was another sunken vessel which forced the col lier's hull deeper Into the sea bed. 1,1ft :irIMI Toils It meant lifting a dead weight of 3500 "tons, and four lifting vessels, with 16 wire ropes 3' Inches thick, did the work. Successive lifts, aid ed by the ttde, with elvers patching the holes in the wreck, and much pumping, finally accomplished the seemingly Impossible feat of lifting both the sunken ships. The collier was repaired and restored to service. At present no ship can be raised from a depth exceeding 120 feet, as at this depth the pneumatic tools used for cutting and drilling the ship's side refuse to work. But with English nnd American Ingenuity striving constantly for Improved methods, It may some day be possible to recover ships sunk In deeper water.
