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.

Kb'ANCK, Thursday, Any. 8, evening.
(Hy the Associated Press.) 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.
