TirEDFORD MATL . TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OHECSOX, FRIDAY, AUGUST 0, 1018 PAGE THREE AT THE PAGE TO DAY AND SATURDAY While difficult of belief it is n fact that Ford curs thut is new ford tourina: cars, are, in the near future joins; lo become a very scarce arti cle in fact the species will become extinct unless the war soon comes to an end. Anyhow it will not be Ions before a new cur of (bis variety will be a raro siejit in Oregon. Henry Ford has onlv reccnllv broke 11 1 the vast immense organization of; tlio rord Motor company throughout the United Slates and has turned its, vast mechanical and brain resources into the manufacture of war muni tions and oilier war ne"essilies. Tbo "rent factory at Detroit has reduced its former capacity of H,800 ears n day to 7."0 per day, four bun-1 drcd of which are trucks, and bus dis continued all of , the -IB assembly branch factories tlirmixhout the country, including the one at Port land, except five which nro located! at Long Island, Kansas City, Chicago, Cincinnati and Detroit,' Only four or five earn will be re ceived in the Medforil territory dur ing August, and these will probably be trucks and chasses. The above information was receiv ed by the Gates Auto company this week from the Kurd Motor company branch at Portland in response to a telegram asking when if at all the lo cal company could jjet a. car. load.of new ears.' The letter in part reads as follows : "Wo have your wire of even date relative to the delivery of touring ears. In reply please be advised that, effective A'laust ls our production jit the factory was reduced lo 7."(l cars per day, 4(10 of which are I rucks and (he remaining Ilotl chasses and passengers cars, and our allotment lias naturally been reduced accord ingly. We anticipate tbo receipt of only lot) cars into our territory during August, and we have no assurance but Hint this will be still further re duced in tbo future if it is necessary to curt a in the production further at our factory. No definite shipping ar rangements hnve been made, but un der the cundilions we anticipate that our shipments- will 'originate at Kan-' sift City. - - ''In view of (be circumstauces re lated herein il is impossible to give you any further information other than to state that in all probability you will not receive over four or five cars during August, und these prob ably will be trucks and chasses. ' SPAIN AGAIN PROTESTS LONDON-, Aug. 9. The Dally Mail's correspondent at UrltUh head quarters sayu the hardest fighting oc curred on the extreme northern and southern wings of the Uritlsh ad vance, the passage of the river Luce and the capture of the southern woods particularly proving very tough operations which checked the advanco a while. "But notwithstanding these checks," says the correspondent, "the advanco went with astonishing speed all along the line. "It is reported that Hold guns were overrun and particularly large groups of them wore captured north of the Somme near Chlpllly, where escape was Impossible, owing to the sharp bands in the Somme river. "I believe that moro guns, and of course, machine guns, were captured than can be catalogued in a day or two. Somo few of them were usod against the enemy quite early in the day." 11 the world loves a fighter. That is why William Farnum, who is pre eminently the fighting man of- the screen, Is one of the favorites of the silent drama. The distinguished William Vox star has literally smash ed and bruised his way to photoplay fame because of the strength of his hard right arm. None of Karnum'8 battles has been "stagey." The famous player has battered his way to victory each time. Now he is pitted against a man still more rugged, and probably as power ful as himself. This man is Walter Law, who is cast for an Important part In "The Heart of a Lion." Law has acted in many William Fox productions and is counted as one of the most hercu lean members of the film profession. He weighs 225 pounoa.-suinds G ft. 1 in. high, has a" ili-ln. waist and a chost measurement of 4 1 In. His entire build is greater than that of his adversary, hut Farnum has never quaked in the slightest before super ior size. So if you want to see a real ham-mer-and-tongs, up-and-at-'om bout, watch for the picture. The fight Is sure to be the best In the history of the photoplay because both of the contestants have a hankering for tbo vigorous. ULl AC B, TEID -" The Firefly of Fiance" $2200 FOR W.S.S.

After the taking of Moreuil, the French crossed the Avre, whieb was a rather difficult operation. They eventually reached the eastern bank from Cas tel to Krnehes, Kven then their dif ficulties were not ended, for beyond the river the slides slope steadily up ward and the troops were compelled to advance under a heavy Ocrinan 'fire. Nor could the tanks get across until the bridges were constructed un der cannon and machine gnu fire. When the Germans were forced back from the region of Moreuil their opposition became weaker. In the meantime, the French had taken all the heights together with the village of Pruches atid La Neuville, on the eastern bank of the Avre. On the northern portion of the bat tlefield the advance was much more rapid. There Vilters-Aux-Arables and Mc.icrcs fell into our bauds. There the line in the evening ran ap proximately through the places nam ed, the average advance bcin six to seven kilometers.
