"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.
Abundant ctuip'menl of automatic
rifles and haial grenades. The as

HOW IT FEELS
TO DIE IN U-BOAT
(lly NewspaHr Knterpri.se Ass'n.)
LONDON, July III. 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.

IN HEPPNER FIRE
The many friends of S. A. 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.

LONDON, July 13. 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.
