Thlrty-threo days afler they wero halted In their plunge to ward Complonno, alons the wcat bank of the Olse, the (Iermans today launched a new phuHe of their offen sive by attacking from Chateau Thlery to MuIkoii l)e ChampalKno, north of Nlasaiiiea and far eut of Ithulina, over u front of about Gi inllCH In length. LateHt reiiortH Hiato that the Cler- mans havo croaed the .Marne at aev eral places, probably between Cha teau Thierry and Dormans. Ainerkan troops uro engaged In tho battle in this particular region and reports say Ihoy are "handlliiK the enemy well." They broke up the German drive in the Vaux region west of Chateau Thierry, by dauhlnK counter attacks. (irenfettt of Year So far as I lie lenglh of lino is con cerned, the present drive Is the great est of the year. Measurements of tho line where fighting Is known to ho going on shows thut It Is 1U5 kilo meters, or tr.l tulles long. The attack against Cambral front on .March 21 was over a front of 55 miles. Last night a terrible artlllory fire was loosed aguinst the allied lines from Chuteau Thierry, on the west to Mulson l)e Champagne, north of Mas idgcs, on the east. I'm- hours the entente allied lines wero'iiuder a tempest of tho most tre mendous character. It has been expected that tho tlor 'mnn main effort would be against Die lino from the .Marne to the Alsue, north of Chateau Thierry; in the IMcardy sector, towards Abbeville, or further ribrlh In tho I.ys sector, ugalnst the Channel ports. Along tills lino the allies have been dully Improving their lines uutl preparing for the new drive. Chuwe New Sector Hut ho (iermans chose a sector which, except for a surprise uttuck around Ithelms, Into In June, has been unlet since llio offensive launch ed on tho Alsno on .May i! camo to a standstill. Tho (iermans hold tho north bank of tho Maine for a dlslanco or about twenty miles east of Chateau Thierry. Tholr line leaves tho 'Marne noar the Villngo of Dormans and runs off to the northeast lo Itheiius, where II turns abruptly to the southeast and runs down tho valley of tho Vesle river lo Iho village of La I'ompello, whero It turns eastward and runs In a relatively straight Hue to Verdun. Malson De Champagne, tho eastern limit of the present huttlo, Is thirly- ono miles west of Verdun. There seems to havo been a new feature In this attack. Croat naval guns had been brought up behind Ihe enemy lines and towns and cities far behind Iho actual liaitlu area were placed under bombardment. Mope of (icl mans The (iermans sem lo hope for gains which would compel an allied retire ment from Ihe Verdun utid St. Mlhlel sectors. A successful allack In tho Ithelms area might force the allies back fur ther east on the Marno and give Ihe Hermans command of the communl calinn s.istem by which the Trench and American troops at Verdun and SI. Mlhlel are supplied. In this dlsirlct Is the city of Cha lons, which Is reputed to be an Im portant supply center. 11 Is approx imately IV, miles back of Ihe line American poslilons In Ihe urea al taiked extend northwest of Chateau Thloriy lo ihe villaKO ot Tony, on Hie Climion river und eastward along (he Maine to .laiilgonuc.

So far as known no American troops are In Ihe neighbor hood of Ithelms which seems to be center or ihe main attack.

Waldon buck of Joe Hatikin's farm, one mile south of Free Ferry on the Kogue river Saturday morning, Lord Roy Boun.su m, who resided at the end of 'North Riverside avenue, lost his life by drowning when the cunvas boat in which they were trolling capsized. After a two-hours search the body was recovered several yars beltw tho scene of the accident by deorge Fisher und Rulph Hankins of Trail, who fished tho corpse ashore with the aid of fish hooks attached to the end of a pole. Water at that point was nine feet deep. Were on CMiln Trip. Houssiim and Waldon left this city Friday evening for the river with the intention of camping that night at the side of the stream and getting the early morning fishing Saturday, Fishing at the place the men first started to angle in was not favorable and Itussum, who wus familiar with all parts of the river in that region, suggested they travel down stream. They had a collapsible canvas canoe which they launched, and venturing out Into the current, progressed nice ly until the boat turned at an angle In a small rapids and became un manageable. Mr. IlosKum was stand ing In the small craft, and when he attempted to seat himself to lend aid to .Mr. Waldon, who was rowing, Ihe commotion overturned the boat. Swam for Shore. According to Mr. Waldon's story. Houssum, who was an excellent swim mer, started immediately to swim for shore, and noting that his partner was safe, he started likewise to make for land. To his surprise, when Mr. Waldon reached the shore, he saw Mr. Houssum, apparently without ef fort to stop himself, floating out into the rapid swirl of the stream. Almost immediately the surface of the river closed over his form. Mr. Waldon then called for assist ance, and with Mr. Fisher and Has klns, who were nearby, started to comb the river with Bticks In an ef fort to locate tho body. Seines Iibl Across Itlvcr. Coroner John Perl and Deputy Cor oner Couklin hastened to the scene, and adjusted seines across the river as a means of catching the body should It float down stream. They expressed the opinion that Houssnm,1 his ability as a swimmer established, evidently struck a rock which tempo rarily stunned ulm, and checked his progress toward the shore. A decision of accidental death was returned by tho coroner after an Inquiry was hold. Tho accident occurred at S o'clock Saturday morning and tho body was roeovered at :4fi a. m.

A substantial payment was made and there seems now no doubt but that the deal will be completed.

ATTACK IN VAUX Continued From rage On.) enemy also launched an attack east of Uheims but on the sectors on that front on which French and Americans are fighting side by side the positions are reported Intact. . , . The American machine gunners here let the enemy come close to their positions and then opened a deadly fire Into the advancing close formations of Germans. Reports received here shortly after U a. in. on the fighting to the east of K helms said that the enemy up to about an hour previously had made no progress whatever there. In the Conde region, however, be fore the American counter-atack the German advance appeared to have eliminated the river salient. Reports, from American advance positions said that the American troops wero "handling the enemy well" In the desperate fighting which is continuing. ' Counter-Attack Muilo j Tho American forces on this front, delivered a counter attack upon the! Germans In the Vaux region this mor ning and drove off the enemy. It Is reported that the Americans have udvanced their own lines a dis tance of several hundred yards but this has not been confirmed. It Is clear thut the German attack in the Vaux region completely broke down under the American counter attack. Further sharp fighting Is likely to develop in this area at any time, however. The operation at Vaux appeared to he a feint, for soon after It began the Germans attacked all along the Marne, where they were gallantly op posed by more of the American troops and the French. Americans .Forced Hack The first crossing was made at the peak of the "big river bend. The American machine gunners and In fantrymen fought and died wlere they stood here. Others of the American troops withdrew strategically as the enemy! attacked from east of Chateau Thiery to ulong the Marnu, east of Dormans, making additional crossings. Shortly after I o'clock one of the, American infantry regiments launch ed a counter attack in the region of Conde. ' ! In their attack on the Marne front the Germans threw many bridges! across the river. Over these the Ger-: mans are passing under withering fire from the artillery. German pro gress Is being stayed by the machine guns. Tho Americans and their French comrades havo resisted the enemy to Ihe utmost and are continuing this character of resistance. T The latest concern to Indulge In systematic knocking of Medford and Auhland Is the Chevrolet Motor com pany, which has put oat the folloV tng, clipped from tho Sunday Ore gon Ian: "Motorists looking for the easiest route lo Crater Lake ure advised by the Chevrolet Touring Bureau to branch off the state highway nine miles south of llornbrook, Cat, at Ager, in yreference to the ronds that lead out of Ashland and Medford, Or. The latter go ovor some of the steep est grades in the west, while the tips and downs on the first named route aro comparatively easy." The report is not only malicious but false. No grade on the Medford Crater Uiko road Is as steep as the "Topsy grade." over which autolsts must pans from Ager, and the Med ford road Is In much hotter condition than Is the Klainnth Kulls-Crater laiku road.

Allim Kilo Protest PKKIXG, Saturday, Julv IX By the Associated Press.) The Brit ish, French and Japanese ministers to China have strongly protested to General llorvath, the anti-Bolshevik military oomnuimier, who has form ed a temporary war cabinet for Si beria, asking him to withdraw bis dictatorship proclamation on tbe ground that it is unwise and untimely. Tbe Proclamation, tbe ministers es ooo s oo that Is firmly established, wherever, farm Im plements are used, as an assurance of special quality. Their general uso Is due alone to the fact that farmers everywhere find real economy In using them. Their bucc63s is based entirely on the better results they give tn actual use. Our service puts you In the closest touch with these better Implements. We keep a slock of them right here close to your farm where you can Investigate each implement thoroughly before you buy where you can get what you want when you want It. Vou don't take a chance when you taka a buying trip to our store. You lake tho straight road to real Imple ment economy. Come In and see for yourself.
