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.

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. There will be a

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

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. Its balmy air,
ideal winters, lis water unexcelled, lis
roads which cm be traveled for near
ly the whole year, its mountains wiih
their playful sunshine and shadows,

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

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.
