AUTO DISASTER
('1onsi(U'rnljl(! ext-itmncut wus cmis
t'l by an auto iiccideiit at tho comer
of Kant Main strtut ami North Cen
tral this forenoon, in which fortu
nately no one was Herionsly injured.
Had it noL been for the presence of
mind and quick action hy ('. T. Ilen
Melnian, driver of the Ashland inter
nrhan ear, n number of jiersonn
mijrlit have suffered serious injuries
and two ears would probably have
been badly wrecked.
The interurban car, which has had
the riht-of-way, wa eoinina: west on

lie swerved his car so sharply into
North Central that it was thrown
over on its side by the Jackson
County Ihink building. The three
passengers in the interurban scram
blde out from the overturned ear tis
iiiickly as possible, and only one of
litem. Miss I'oley of Ahl.ind, v s
found to have been hurt. She bad
Kiiffered cut on the check which
bled profusely. As an old man
emerged from the car and arose to
his feet he soberly inquired of llen
heltnan, "Is this Medfordf" thereby
miming much laughter to the gather
ed crowd.
The interurban car suffered con
siderable minor damage but was able
to leave the scene without aid. Much
praise was heard from witnesses of
the accident for the conduct of Mr.
Ilenseliuan, who has the reputation
of being a very careful driver, which
alone avoided a serious accident.

change in the druft law--apj)roxlm-ately

Vomit; Men lreforrel
General March told the committee
that he was unqualifiedly In favor of
having Hi army composed of as
many young men as possible. Young
men between 18 and 20, he said, not
only do not have many encumber
auces but they are better fit physic
ally. "The president, " said General
.March, resuming his statement, "has
finally announced that the American
military policy from this time on Is
centered on the western front and we
have declined to be diverted from
that one thing. The war department
has now adopted this as a policy and
ft Is tho policy of the United States
that tho military program Is to bo
centered In France.
"The purpose of America is to fur
nish enough man-power to whip tho
Germans from now on. The only way
that Germany can be whipped Is by
America going into this thing with
her whole strength."
I'p to America to Win
Then America has got to put en
ough men over there to whip Ger
many?" asked Senator Kh-by.
"That is it in a nutshell," General
March replied.
"It is up lo us to win the war and
we can win it. How long it will tako
will depend exactly upon what we
do. If we drag along wtih this thing
and put a small force over there wo
will bo playing Germany's game. It
is my belief that with an American
army of 4,000,000 men in France
under ono commander In chief we can
go thru the German lino wherever
we please."
"This law,' the general added,
"will lot us lean on class one until
June 30 of next year. We reached
the conclusion that the entente pro
gram was necessary on July 30."
Secretary Itcker explained the
steps that led up to the change in the
military program.
Cause of Chang' in Minis
"After the recess of congress," the
secretary said, "the study of the sit
uation wen on and a few days ago It
became clear to us that the 80 divis
ion program was perhaps the maxi
mum which we could possibly hope
to accomplish and that to accomplish
that It would be necessary to change
the age limits from the present limits
to 18 to 45."
Secretary Baker Baid he asked the
surgeon general for a formal opinion
as to what changes ho would recom
mond, to which the surgeon general
suggested the ages 18 to 4!.
"Tho bill as It 1s written meets
with my entire approval," declared
Secretary Baker. Asked by Senator
Johnson of California if he believed
the pending bill was essential to
carry out the purpose for which the
United States entered the war, Secre
tary Baker replied:
"I believe that to be the fact. My
own Judgment about It originally was
that 1!) should be the minimum and
I came to the IS minimum only after
thorough study of the situation and
with some reticence but now believe
it necessary to secure the appropriate
number of men."
Regarding the work or fight
amendment of Senator Reed, provid-j
Inj? for withdrawal of deferred clas
sification absent from work without
causo, the report says:
Kxemptions Provided
v "It seems to the committee that In
view of the tu,ct that we are about to
'authorize tho draflng of boys between
18 and 21 as well as those above 21
up to and Inclusive of 45 and are
providing for the exemption of men
between 18 and 45 who are engaged
in useful and necessary occupations
from actual service In the ranks,
that when any are exempted solely
from that cause, their services are
more valuable to the nation in the
production of things essential to the
prosecution of the war, than when
they cease in good faith to follow the
essential occupation they ought to be
subject to the draft as In other cases.
"The young man not engaged in
these occupations must wear the uni
form, enter the ranks and bare his
'breast to the weapons of the German
'army. He cannot refuse to work
even for an hour, and he Is com
pelled to fight whether he feels dis
posed to do so or not. In view of
this, when a young man is exempted
from the draft solely in order that
he may engage In an essential indus
try he ought to continue in that em
ployment In good faith while nny
grievance is being adjusted by the
industrial bourd and if ho falls to do
so he ought to be subject to draft.
"The provision does not pretend to
interfere with the right of any man
to cease labor when any man pleases
'to do so, but simply says to him that
if he does cease he shall, under such
regulations as the president may pre
'scribo, subject himself to the draft as
tho he had not been exempted in the
first instance."

M. M. DEPARTMENT STORE ANNOUNCE THE FIRST SHOWING OF THE VERY NEWEST
Fall Suits and Coats
This season it is especially necessary to make your selections of Kali ami Winter apparel carl v, for mar
ket conditions are such that deliveries will be unsatisfactory later, and prices very much liiyhcr. The garments
that ve arc-shi'w inn tomorrow are made from in iterials purchased long ago and we are therefore enabled to
offer exceptional values.
Buy for Fall Now
We are constantly scouring the mar
kets and manufacturing renters for
merchandise that, we can sell to our cus
tomers at low prices and still maintain
our standards of quality.
The outlook from the merchandise
standpoint for this Kali is very discour
aging as to prices and we earnestly ad
vise our patrons to plan to buy their
Kail requirements during the month of
August for prices iu many cases will be
double what they now are and many
items unobtainable at all.
Our very large stocks of highest qual
ity goods are attracting trade from the
entire K'ogue River valley and from
all indications the month of Aug
ust will see many lines entirely closed
out that cannot be replaced at any price.
Our-average resale prices are lower
right now than in any other store in the
state and we are going to maintain them
as long as we can.
We are not speculators: wo are mer
chants and we will not hold staple mer
chandise for the high prices that are
sure to come, but if you are to benefit
yv'ii should plan to buy now for present
needs iis well as future requirements.
