ASK BONUS FOR :G0LD MINERS BOMBING PLANES TAKE PLACE OF S t WITH THE KUKNCH ARMY IX r'HANCK, Auk. i:t (Hy the Asso- -iutil Tress.) During the bail lies of the lust few days bombing planes have virtually replaced the heavy ar tillery which the allies were not able to bring up fust enough. These uirplunes immediately attack groups of infantry, convoys and sup ply trains when they receive signals from reconnoitering plane. Bombing squadrons are kept ready at airdromes so that they may take the air at the instant a call is receiv ed from signal planes, troops or con voys in villages or at road terminals. Thjs system was employed at Lns sigiiy Hie cither day. An observing plane reported the town encumbered vith troops and su'Iv trains. Air planes lo the number of 121 flew to the spot and 2 tons of bombs were droppn. This attack caused a large lire, destroyed motor lorries and Mocked the streets of Lassigny, ty ing up Hie movement of the enemy for hours. All cross roads as well as railway stations, where important lines of communication meet are under con tinual attack from these )ombing planes. STRATEGICAL KEY TAKEN. (Continued From rags One.) do the Germans appear for the mo mont to bo in possession. This cor ner Is one of the highest humps on tho hills, rising a few feet above the positions now In possession of the French. The French are attacking this hump strongly and there seems every prospect of the action ending In their favor. 'When the French got their guns to tho top here the enemy's communi cations with Roye will come under observed fire. Ballly Is on the east bank of the Olse about a mile and three-quarters east or Rlbecourt. It is near the southern end of Ourscamp forest, which Is of great strategic value. The French are working around Royo to the west and the south 'of this Important German holding point almost in the center of the Plcardy butt lef rout and now hold high ground In this region. Wood Is Captured The wooded aroa around Des Loges south of Roye was captured by the French last night but a German coun tor attack drove them back. The village of L'Fconvlllon has boen tjoptured by the French and fur ther found has been gained by them north of St. Claude farm. (IEcon- vlllon Is about 3 14 miles southeast of Lassigny and virtually on the crest of the ridge overlooking the Olse.) The enemy Is roported dostroylng vlllugos In his reur. The ruins of I'eronno aro roported to ho burning. Flros have been observed by allied airmen at various points. So fur 33 German divisions havo been Identified In tho fighting. The inillcutlons are that the enomy's re- sorves aro gradually being exhausted und ho Is drawing troops out of the lino to extend his flanks and cover any gaps.

Adv. 'A AS (By Frederick M. Kerby). DETROIT, Mich., Aug. 13. It be gins to look as If the only question remaining in the senatorial race In Michigan, Is whether Henry Ford prefers to be elected as a democrat or a republican. It is true that the primary election has not yet been held It occurs Aug. 27; as it is equally true that there are four aspiring candidates, for the nomination: and of course the elec tion won't be held until November; but the election may, after all, be a mere formality. This is due to a most unusual sit uation, as amusing as it Is Interest ing. There aro three candidates in the republican primaries, of whom Henry Ford Is one. The other two are Tru man II. Newberry, former assistant secrotary of the navy, of Crosse Pointe, and ex-Governor Chas S. Os born, of Sault Ste. Marie. There are two candidates In the democratic primary, of whom Henry- Ford Is one; the other being James W. Helme of Adrian. On Both Tickets Henry Ford is thus on both pri mary tickets, having been nominated by petitions front members of both parties. The Michigan republicans of the old-line persuasion, are frothing at the mouth over the "trick," as they call It, played by the democrats In getting President Wilson to ask Ford to run for the senatorship. It was Judge William F. Connolly of De troit, democratic national committee man, who went to Washington and saw President Wilson, and is gener ally credited with showing the presi dent the advantage of endorsing Ford. The state of Michigan is normally republican. In 1916 It cast 336,000 votes for Hughes for president, to 2$6,000 for Woodrow Wilson. Politics Won't Count' But nobody In Michigan except the politicians Is thinking politics now. Nobody looks on Henry Ford as a politician, and nobody believes he is going to run for the senate for political reasons. , It Is expected that about 100,000 votes will be cast, in the democratic primary; and perhaps 150,000 In the republican. Ford's friends believe he will be nominated on both tickets. Tho law says a man nominated on two tickets must choose within five days the ticket upon which he pre fers to run, or be placed on the ticket which gave him the greatest number of votes. Another provision says the state committee of a party cannot fill a vacancy on a ticket except when the candidate dies or leaves the state. If Ford Is nominated on both tickets, therefore and Is withdrawn from one hy operation of the law, the vacancy on tho other ticket cannot be filled, and he will be the only candidate in the field. l-'nrd iin Independent Ford himself is Independent In politics. He has twice supportod Woodrow Wilson for president: but has voted for men of both political parties In the past. He seems to have the knack of doing the thing that adds lo his own reputation. To Innuendoes about the "Peace Ship," the average citizen Is Inclined to say that everybody must have his peculiarities, and that was Ford s. "If Woodrow Wilson thinks Henry Ford is doing his bit In war work, I guess he ought lo know." LONDON, Aug.

Bagdad, March, 1917 a city dead to the world, governed by the bribe-gathering Turks and their store-keeping German advisers, a link In the Hun dream of world domination thru the Berlin-to-Bagdud railway. Bagdad, July, 1918 a city alive with a Btream of humanity passing thru Its gates, its disease centers practically eliminated, its people happy and content under the rule of its deliverers. i This Is the result of a little over a year's occupation of Bagdad by the British forces. When the city was captured by tho British on March 11, 1917, the mili tary authorities found a community infested with contagious diseases, with an inadequate water supply, the people themselves lukewarm lit the Interest of the British for their own welfare. AH this has been changed within the last year. A police force has been orgunlzed, also a fire brigade. -The water supply has been extend ed. Electric street lights have been installed. Schools have been erected and mosques have been repaired. The streets afe flushed daily, and sani tary squads are making it a healthy town to live in. Markets have been opened, assuring a continual supply of food. And most of nil, the community's attitude toward the British has changed to that of good will and trust. They aro co-operating in all civic works, and openly express their preference to the rule of their deliv erers, rather than go back td Turkish misrule. What has been accomplished In Bagdad is being accomplished in the other cities In the bands of the allied forces. They are making , friends of the population and incidentally ring ing down the curtain on Germany's hopes to control Mesopotamia after the war.

Maintenance of the Jackson coun ty and Anna creek section of the road between Medford and , Crater Lake national park In a passable and safe condition during the war, with a preferred status at the end of the war for completion of the cooperative project, is the plan agreed upon by- representatives of the forest and nat ional park services. From William L. Hall, acting for ester, Senator McNary has received a letter setting forth file policy decid ed on. The road to Crater lake, It is explained, is similar In class to a number of others which are primar ily for recreation and tourist travel, and not within tho line of necessary road work which Is being authorized by the department of agriculture. As this project affected the development of a national park, the forest service asked for the view of Secretary Lane of the interior department, who has the parks under his jurisdiction, and Mr. Hall thus, states the situation: Present Tinlo Inopportune "The acting secretary of the inter ior replied that he fully concurred with the view of the secretary of ag riculture that It would be Inadvisable to proceed with the development of I the project at this time, but express ed the hope that the project would be entitled to first consideration upon tiie restoration of peace. "The acting secretary further stat ed that there exists groat need for maintenance work on the project and expresed the hope that thru co-operation between the counties of Jackson and Klamath, the forest service and the local national park authorities some arrangement might be made to keep the entire parkway to and thru the park in a passable and safe con dition until the cooperative improve ment project can bo undertaken at the end of the war. . Suggestion Is Approved "In reply the. acting secretary of agriculture stated that the sugges tion relative to doing maintenance work during tho war appeared excel lent and that the district forester at Portland had been instructed to con fer with the county officials and the local park authorities for the purpose of working out a plan for doing such work on the rond as is necessary to keep it In a passable and safe condi tion. "No Information has been received Tomorrow and Wednesday Virginia relative to the working out of this agreement, but there seems to be no renBon to doubt that adequate provis ion will be made for the maintenance of the road during the present emergency." $100 Reward, $100 Tho readers of this puper will b pleased to learn that there Is at least one dreaded disease that science has been able to cure In all its stages and that Is cutarrh.
