KfforlH are now being mndo to or
ganize a nntlomil guunl military cum.
pany in tho city, Cuptulti 11. A. 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.

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

Hull registered at n Medford hotel
last Tuesday night with a woman as

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.

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.

( 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

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

line turns northeastward, tho British
have pushed forward on a front of
