MILLER RENOMINATED BY SEATTLE REPUBLICANS IX TJIEIIl brilliant offensive, tlie allies Lave driven the Cleniiniis Imck to their old established lines of defense with all the trains of their eostly offensive lost. Ileneeforth allied progress cannot be measured in miles across an open country, but by yards as the Hun is literal ly blown up with his fortifications. Tho Gorman' plans a return to trench warfare but it is probable that Foch lias other plans. And there is a possibility of a final desper ate offensive by the (Jerinans. At any rate there can be no open warfare in the old sense, whereby an army could be surrounded and cap tured tit itt Waterloo or Sedan. There can only be a war fare of position, for the German has constructed line after line of strong fortifications to fall back upon. When a position lias been made untenable, the Huns will retire to the prepared line behind and continue the defense. First is the Hindenhurg line system of field fortifica tions which the (jerinans built by the forced labor of pris oners tind of French and Belgian civilians. It runs from Lens southeastward to tho Aisne north of Kheims by way of Qucant, St. Ojuentin, La Fere and the St. Gobai'n for est. It consists of an elaborate system of trenches,"liiiilti ple lines of barbed wire entanglements, concrete positions for artillery, blockhouses for machine guns, shelters for the infantry, and is further protected by flooded stretches of country where the means are available. The second line runs from Lille to the stronghold of Metz, generally parallel with the Hindonburg line to the region north of kheims and at distances varying fron seven to twenty miles. From Soissons north of Kheims it runs southeastward, joining the old front north of Voiv dun and continuing from there to Fagny on. the Moselle river south of Metz. There are secondary lines attached to this system notably along the Ksoaut river from Cambrai north between the valleys of the Oise and the Serre and northeastward from La Fere along the Suippe river north of liheims. A third line runs from the Scarpe south of Lille to the flense near fretfan, then southeastward to the iron region of the basin of IJriey, joining the second line at .Moselle. J Here are secondary detense works to this line also in the region or Vervins. A fourth line, as yet uncompleted, is intended to fur nish a further defense between the Fscaut near the Bel gian frontier and the Mouse at Givet. Other lines are back of this and will be ready when the times comes for utilizing them. They extend far into Germany. A part of the Hindonburg lino lias been broken and the British are before the second line of defense at Cam brai, while the French are cracking the Hindonburg line above Soissons fit La Fere. If the enemy is able to join the Ilindeiiburg line at its broken extremities with the second line, they will still have an uninterrupted defen sive position. Jt becomes apparent then that the allied progress hence forth will bo slow. Time is required to bring up the biir guns and prepare to smash the strong fortifications for a broach and then when it is made, tho advance will bo halted at the next defensive lino and the process must bo repeated. It will take a long time to eject the Hun from France and Belgium. The Gorman is figuring on this on wearing out his enemies as Louis XIV and Frederick the Great wore out their opponents and were thereby enabled to secure nego tiated peace and really snatch 'victory from defeat. To this end there will be numerous peace offensives by the central powers. Tho German defensive plan may be upset if Foch is able to make a considerable breach if the Hindonburg lino and thru it hurl Pershing's army with rapidity enuf to force the retreating German past his own linos of de fense and thus demoralize his defensive plans. Or it mav utterly collapse should continued defeat demoralize Goi man morale and render a panic-stricken fugitive arms- in capable of defense. Otherwise winter will find the Ger mans behind their second or third lino of defense still jjir in French and ielgian territory.

Ill 0 RED CROSS 10 To tho Public: There seems to 'be a misunderstanding in Medford re garding the coming of the Chautau qua. This was contracted for by the committee appointed by the Red Cross to arrange entertainments to provide money Tor the operation of the Red Cross rooms. This was ar ranged prior to our arrangement for tho drive for monthly payments to take care of tho needs of the Red Cross for the coming year. The con tract was signed in good faith and the proceeds will go to tho Red Cross. This entertainment has been ap proved by President Wilson and is a patriotic entertainment, and is very Instructive regarding the war work of not only the Red Cross but all other organizations helping In the winning of the war.

As we are about to say an revolr to .Meilford and those who have made our stay hero so pleasant we can not leave without publicly saying that we shall carry away with us ninny very tender memories of those wo shall leave behind. We have learned to lovo Medford and lis people. They have been good and kind and helpful to us and ever appreciative of the llille that we have tried to do tor them and the betterment of the city. Medt'ortl Is one of the most beautl rul cities we have ever lived in. a city nml valley of wont'erful Kssibil Itles. and tf those In charge of li in terests are discreet, earnest in their olfoi'tH and work together, foigetllim past illfrcivnct's and mistakes. 1 can see 110 reason whatever why it should not become one of the most proster ous ctlles on the coast. Its agricul tural outlook can not be equalled any where, as lis soil can grow almost anything, and Its mineral and ore de posits, according to the best author ities, are richer and greater than are to in found In any tit her slate. We lue leaving for the winter mouths because Mrs. Hills health Is much better In Portland, on account of Its low altitude, and as Portland will be during the war the homo of our two sons. and. after ibe war. of our son now In Franco, we have deemed It necessary 10 make the change, and for no In lilt with Medford nor lis people, as they are among the very best It tins been our prlv lingo to meet nin whore. For a city of Its size I know of 110 clly that can boast of more lutein gence, culture, n higher standard ot morality, and for earnest efforts In things worth while. Its people are ever responsive to every worthy ap peal, and In civic affairs they are not to be equalled, especially the membeis of the Greater Medford and Colony Clubs. In meeting the demands of patriotic work during tho past year lis record Is not surpassed by nianv huge cities. Zeal, unselfishness, kindness, :-;jiier-oslly and loyalty to our government and nation, nnd In meeting the nee .Is of our soldiers both nt home ami abroad has won the highest praise of those who stand high In the councils ot both slate iind nation. Medford the gateway of splendors and scenic beauties uurlvnlled any where. .Medford hospitable, gener ous, loyal, clean, with Us paved streets, beautiful homes and lawns. Its fruits and roses profuse, beautiful and fragrant, lis wonderful sunrises and gorgeous sunsets.

Even if this were not for tho Red Cross, it is very instructive and very patriotic and is In tho courso of "Wake up, America." While we do not really need this part of It on the coast, as wo have been doing our entire shure, yet, I believe It will as sist in maintaining our enthusiasm in oar war work, and I trust that the citizens of Medford will patronize this entertainment and thereby help tho Hed Cross which has already signed a contract which must be ful filled. I trust that this explanation will remove the doubt that is in a great many minds regarding the coming of this Chautauqua and tho reason for Its coming. (Signed) C. E. GATES, Mayor. With Medfom rraon U Medford mail Col. 0. A. (Jcarhiirt, Chautauqua lecturer 011 the first day, will come to .Medford utmost direetlv from Washington, D. C, to deliver u se ries of natriotie lectures.

The ('huutuiiqiiu is for the benefit of the local Ked Cross chapter and will he given September 14, Hi, 17.- The Anieriejin people nre not lack ing in putriotism, but in information. Col. Oearhnrt comes to the Chautau qua to tell why we are fighting, what the results will he if we do not get right down to business and win the war soon, and what the government expects of every man, woman nnd ebilil of America. He ik u splendid speaker, and n man of many years' experience in public work. rfhe local Chautauqua committee is very iinxioiis that every one who can possibly do so will hear Col. Genrbart, both afternoon nnd night of the first day. He will deal with matters vital to our national existence, and to the t ut are welfare of our children.
