Cun ady, the commumlur of t ho local atate militia company ImviiiK been author ized to raise thin company which 1b to he one of twelve authorized in the state. A majority of members of the state militia com puny will form tine nuclus of the new company, as already 30 of Its members have signed up for membership. It is said that about 20 other members of the state militia company will enlist In the new or ganization whoso authorized strength Is 110 men between the ages of IS and 45. This company and the eleven other Oregon nutlonal guard companies to bo rabed will be merg ed into the federal service. The organization or the new com pany doe-s not mean that the state militia company Is to go out of exis tence. The vacancies In Its ranks caused by members leaving to join the national guard company will be filled by recruits. I) oca use of re moval from the city and drafts hav ing taken away so many members the state militia company now num bers only about 85 men. Its full authorized strength Is K0 men. Now. that volunteer enlistments are no longer taken by the army. navy or marine corps, the only chance for a man of draft age to voluntarily enlist for war service Is by way of the national guard companies, unless lho government makes a changes In Its plans already announced. HAI6 SMASHING GERMAN LINES HIM SECTOR (Continued nom rage On-) L C. M. Hall, n dealer in stallions who ih well known in Mt'dt'nrd and for whom the local police iiml sheriff had been nenivhing for several days 'was urre-Ktud at Koscbur Wednes day night. He was wiiuled in (limits Vans for alleged pussiny of worth less cheeks. Hull registered at n Medford hotel last Tuesday night with a woman as C. jr. Halt and wife of Yrekn. Wed nesday morning Chief of Police Thiio-, tliv who knew Hall and Ins past rer- ord, on hearing of his being at the hotel went there to make impuries about him on gcnernl principles, but learned that the couple hud lel't the 4'ity in nn auto just a half hour be fore. 'A short time later telegram were received by Chief Timothy and Sheriff Jennings from Sherilf Lewis of Josephine count v to be on the lookout for Hall and arrest him. While Timothy sea relied over the city for Hall, the sheriff scoured the Applcgate country with the same in tent, and Heputy Sheriff Stensr hastened to look thrmiuh the ( rater l-nke country. It seems, however, that Hall, who had a big stnrt, went straight through to lioehurg, where he was captured. iNonfisi southern banks of be Oise and the Ailettu between Kempigny, south of Noyon, to lho railroad bridge west of Couey-Le-Chatcau. ItHtish Took ."000 South of C'oucy-(,e-(,' hat eaii they have reached the outskirts of Guny and Pont St. Mara This progress brings them further toward the rear of the German forces holding the hills north of Solssons and within three miles of lho German positions north of Oheniln, Des Dumes, as they stood before the offensive of May 27. North of the Sum me, and the Ancre to Morvntol, the British keep doggedly at it after huving captured Albert and iiOOO prisoners. South of lho Hend In in the Andre they have crossed that stream to the east on a six mile front for a guln or two miles. Noyon, a pivot of the German lines, in Picurdy, still holds out, but the town on the surrounding heights aro under the fire of machine guns and cannon. West of Noyon the French are on tho Divette for a dis tance of almost rive miles. The Oise has been reached on a front of ten miles south and east of Noyon has been crossed at teveral points. Knemy H mussed ( French cavalry and airplanes are harassing the retiring enemy and over the German positions of yester day French guns und infantry are rushing northward. KxceJH west of tho Oise and along the sharp salient north of Soissons tho Germans show little signs of holding and probably will retlfe to beyond the Oise canal, which parallels the river on the north. Field Marshal Haig has had to fare bitter resistance north of the Somme. Ills pressure continues, however, and his success around Al bert probably will provide leverage to push the Germans further east, north and south of Unit sector. Vital Sectors Kudangercfl t'rMbnbly the most vital sectors to the Germans at present aro those Trom ftoyo to Noyon and that nor t li ves t of Soissons. If the first should waver and fall lutek the German po sition north to the Somme would nave to be readjusted. If the salient northwest of Soissons t-bould fall the French would have the heights of Chemln I.)es bpmes outflanked. Con tinued French pressure on tills sal ient would appear to have the effect of forcing the Germans to retreat from the Vesle within a few days at most. American troops north of the Vesle bavo luereased the security of their position by cleaning out an impor tant point north of Flsmes, The Ger mans attempted a counter attack but were thrown back with loss. Along tho remainder of the Vesle the allied pressure is being maintained. In the l,ys salient the British have made further progress. East of Mer ville they are approaching Neuf Ber tpifn. North of Ballleu! where the line turns northeastward, tho British have pushed forward on a front of one and one-half miles. E Former Governor and Mrs. S. H Van Zant ' of Minnesota, who had been attending the G, A. H. encamp ment at Portland arrived in the city LEMON JUICE TAKES OFF TAN Girls!
