KANE WRITES Of
LIFE IN PALISH
Fl
Frank Kline, who will lie remem
bered s n resident of Medford for
several years and who estiihlishrn
the valley jrnrnjrc in 1010 is now with
the Australian Hying cors in Pal
estine and writes as follows to II. It.
Patterson of Mcdford, under date of
May 22: ...
Here I am somewhere in Palestine
just where doesn't lyutter much.
The army is Inking? euro of thai end
of il. I have bene here four months
npw, and am itcttiup; nlon; very well
noder lhe circumstances.
Von will nntiee that I am in the
flyinr eorps, a meehanic of course, !
nm too old for a pilot, uiueh as I
would like it, hut believe me, if the
chance ever conies my way, I won't
overlook it.
One of our ehaps brought tt I Inn
"hnrs" down this altcrnoon utmost
on our own drome. It wns a great
serapt while it listed, )iut our ehap
was too fast. Wc don't very often
see the show so elose lo home. This
is the third one today, the other Iwo
were over the enemv lines.
This ecrtainlv eould he made a
great country. It should "row any
thin?. I saw an orchard loday load
ed with fruit and the trees were so
elose together that it looked more like
jungle. The oranges here lire about
ns Rood as I have tasted. It would
make vou laugh to sec the plows they
use, the same old wooden plow that
was used in Phnroahs' time. They
seem, to hitch up anything to them.
A camel, or a couple of donks, a
couple of cows or a donk and n cow,
it doesn't seem to make much differ
ence to them. They seem lo do good
work, too, and cover a fniramount
of country at that, nearly all of Pal
estine is under cultivation at present.-

FAILURE OF DRIVE
AMSTKliDAM, July 22.--The
urnt (iiizi'Uc say: "A lilt hnp
ptuH'd on ntliiT icasioiist for in
stance on tin Nomine, we must con
pt'ilt! the loss of prisoners 11110! pins.
But even so, the enemy's lending
idea, a lircali through, has not been
attained, despite tremendous exer
tions, have been able to hold up
the counter offensive before it at
tained a strategic worth mentioning.
Continuous rhinites in position are
lojrieally the outcome of the open
warfare now in progress."
The Merlin correspondent of lhe
newspapers writes :
"False hopes were perhaps pinned
at home to the launching nf this new
offensive. It eaunot lie the aim of
everv s'nj'b' '-Mr operation to attain
definite nbjCi-1 ives in ail riivum
stances.
"The victorious operations of the
thrid week of Julv unve rise to va
rious presumptions in the minds of
the people which do not njjree with
the previous act an I eoiidit ions, nor i
with those of today. We have no
reason to conceal the fact. There
were deserters numnjr the German
troops who iii-cd their knowledge of
the planned operations to betray the
fatherland and their comrades.
After referring to tho entente's
counter offensive, the correspondent
says :
'The forecoitn; shows that not onlv
east of Rhcims, but also a Ion- the
Mimic, we are confronted with diffi
cult tasks, nnd Vou llimlciihur will
in this stituation not satisfy some of
the strategists.
'It need not be concealed that the
aim of the recent offensive has re
mained unattainable, but new condi
tions now all the more urgently de
mand fresh decisions, to which we
look forward with strained attention,
hut also with patience."
WASHINGTON, July 22.- Fresh
successes lor the American forces
