II moro rain does not fall In that time and tilings begin to get pretty di ugnin, forest fires may start hut there will bo llttlo danger of their spread ing into big conflagrations bemuse of lust week's soaldnir. It rained hard in the hill and mountain regions for sovoral days. Tho rains started Just In lime to prevent what was threatening to be conio the biggest forest fire of the Season In tho ('rater Lake national forest territory and Palmer Initio In tho Applcgnto district. This firo was spreading fast when tho rainfall came. Federal Forest Supervisor Kan Kin was in a happy mood this morning over tho forest fire situation and the removal of danger for some time to come. "1 hnvo certainly been lucky slnco I assumed charge of this ot- iivc, no sum. run situation was getting very bad several weeks ago when unexpected rain came to our relief and put out the fires." The stockmen are also much pleas, ed over the recent rains anil are hull ing for a least a lillle more piecipl Intlon, which would Insure good fall pusturago for cattle and sheep.

JUST RETRIBUTION. "G1 KU-MAN'S in I'ki aiiu This is the roniinoiit tions in thc "J'rioiully" country from which (icrniaiiy cx icclc(l Hie most and which six months of (icriuan rule has made it unsafe for Germans to travel except in armed groups lest they he shot, or huricd alive. There never was a better commentary on the efficiency of German militarism all it understands is brutality. AYhnt it cannot comprehend is humanity. In the Prussian viewpoint people are just so many machines to-hc oppress ed and enslaved whether they he Poles, Letts, IJelgi.'ius, Alsatians, African negroes or Ukrainians. I Kl'ai 110 Was tilt' llVSt Germany and it was to serve as Germany s graincrr and the eoiie'efiri!' link between Mittcl KiiniiHi m id M ii t le Asia 1 1 n gateway to the near east for German exploitation. !ut the Ukrainians object inj-' to beiim; treated as beasts bv insolent soldiers, and to lienitr rohhet H'l'ain, drove oil or slaughtered their cattle, and the tier- man treatment aroused Hie (1 .i I,, i., Wl (l llfllliwil managed, by sending our run reiuisitioiuiir troops, to secure less than half a million. Germany interfered to stop the cutting up of biff estates held by nobles, and the peas ants refused to plant or harvest crops. Germany ousted the Ukraine government and set up a dummy government, ruled by the German commander. He was assassinated. The entire country is' in revolt. - The peasants are well armed bands of 70,(1(10 combining to fighting the German soldiery, attacking troop trains, blowing up bridges. The railroad employes have joined the peasants. They refuse to haul Germans or supplies for Germany. Guerilla war fare is constant. Germany has forbidden German civilians from going to Ukraine and the sole desire of those already there is to get out. Instead of being an asset to the kaiser the Ukraine is a liability, calling constantly for larger and larger gar risons and yielding only turmoil and trouble. AVhat is going on in Ukraine will be repeated in other sect ions of li'ussia. Just retribution i rendering nerveless the greedy grasp of the ruinous Hun. Neither the Uk rainian nor the lfussian sold himself to the German but the latter, who sold himself to the devil, is reaping his reward. ' E E (Continued From fnge one.)

"During the several months he has served as deputy sher iff and paid special attontlon to speed violators ho has practically done away with speeding on the highway and mado it safe for conser vative auto drivers and their fam ilies. His place will be hard to. fill." Prosecutor Itobcrts stated that no other motorcyclo cop will he employ ed to replace McDonald, but that the matter ot looking after speed viola tors will bo done by two or more state polk'cnion who will ho assigned to this section with Medford as thejr headquarters. lie said these men will be on duty shortly aird that they will also keep watch for bootleggers and smugglers of liquor over the mountains, as well as perforin other general duties pertaining to the en forcement of stnto laws. The state policemen, he further stated, will belatlnS a return to the old trench under direct orders from the state police headquarters and are not as- i signed for duty only in Jackson coun ty, hut will cover the southern Ore gon section and muko their head quarters In this city. Jn this connection It' fs of Interest to note that one or more state police men havo been quietly working in Medford and vicinity for some time. It Is understood that in the enforce ment of state laws in Jackson tounty tho state policemen stationed here will co-oporate closely with the pros ecutor's office. , AEMRICAN NAVAL COUNCIL ARRIVES AT ROME U"MK, Aug. 19.

BY ASSOCIATED PHUSS, Aug. IS Launching what may be described as an extensive local attack, the French Sunday evening, broke thru the German positions along tho vital sector connecting the Marno and Picardy battlefields. This attack was over a front of approximately nine miles from near Carlepont east of the Olse, to Kon tenoy on the Alsne, about six miles 'west of Solssons. It is offlclaHy re ported'that an advance to an average depth of 1.3 miles was made all along the front of attack. A total of 1700 prisoners is reported from Paris. It is reported from London that an ex treme penetration of two miles has been made. Tho villages of N'ampcol and Xouv- ron-Vingre have been captured and the French have reached the south ern edge of the ravine at Audigni- court, which is between Xampcel ana iN'ouvron-Vingre. Break d'ermnn Scheme Since tho situation along the Aisne and Vesle ana in Picardy has seemed to be approaching a deadlock indt- warfare of the first two years of the war, an attack in the sector hetween the Aisne und the Oise has-been ex pected. This line Is vital to the Ger man positions on each side of It. If it should be broken the whole Ger man defcnslvo scheme would be thrown out of Joint. While 4he front over which the assault was launched is short com pared with those of the .Marne anil Picardy drives, the success attained hy tho French appears to point to a possibility of Marshul Foch breaking the enemy's resistance by a flank at tack instead of a direct assault against the strong positions now held by tho Germans between Sois sons nnd Kheims and between the Oiso und the An.'i e. Along the I'lcardy battle front there have been loeal actions, in which 400 prisoners were taken by the French. London reports that the French have captured St. Mard nnd Beauvraignes, near Hove, thus In creasing the peril of that bastion of the German line west of the Somme.

In the Mervllle sector the Il.iib !. have made a new advance, probably fciinwimr the Germans who have been retiring In this' part of tho I.yn salient for tho last week. ' From Ilallleul, which Is on the northern side of the l.ys salient, to the apex of the salient near Virus Bonjuln, the British have apparently driven the Germans off all the hlfch ground In this sector. Field Marshal llalg's men recap tured Outterstecn, about three-quarters of a mile cast of Menis, which probably marks the maximum pro gress in this region in the last wee!;. Further British progress towards l!:e Lys would endanger the German hold on .Mount Kemniel and tho high ground in that region.
