SoutliBrn Oregon Traction company line, more familiarly known as tho Bullis railroad, formerly the Barnum line between .Med ford and Jacksonville, Including the trolley line in Medford, will noon y,o out of existence, at least for the period of tho war. Tho fact that purt of the rails of the lino had been requisition ed by tho Kovornnient, toother with the fact that freight and passenger traffic between tho city and county seat, 'because of auto competition, had fallen to a low elib, brought about this decision. To Dlsmanllo Iloml Tho dismantling of tho railroad to furnish tho requisitioned rails will begin within a week or two and which will first ho Blurted in the Jackson creek section, will necessi tate tho abandoning of logging opera tions In thut section fur tho Applc Kuto Lumber company mill In this city, which means that all logs for the mill will have to be brought in from the Butte Pulls section. .Mr. Biillls said this noon thut this situa tion will probably necessitate remov ing tho mill of tho Applegute lumber company from Its present location to another on the Pucfflc and Eustern railroad line. Tho decision to stop tho operation of the road, induced by ylie requisit ioning of three mile ot'ft-ulls, and the fact that probably oilier rails would also he requisitioned In tho course of time, hus thrown the plans of the Southern Oregon Traction company end tho Applegute lumber company all up 111 tho air at present.

MEXICO CITY, Sept. ll.-MBy Associated Pre?H.) The American publicity campaign la Bhowing result3 In Mexico. The widespread dlsacm i nation of facts concerning the war aims and accomi.lishmentr. of the United Stntejtare, accordinn to for oIpners'lonK resident here, brlnplng about a change of sentiment, which, if not characteriablo as love for Americana, may at least be ealied re fipert. The effect of the allied blacklist becomes more noticeable dally. The Ciermans apparently have much Icaa money than formerly to spend on pro-, papanda. German firms, forced to deal in hidden ways to secure even the smallest imports from the states, are less prosperous. Arrogance of German officials and business men in pirblie, places in decreasing. Since it became known that four members of tho American club, alone in tho bulldlnp at the time, evicted thirteen Germans who invaded the club, there have ben no further outbreaks. Posters, pamphlets, reading matter for newspapers, war photographs for window display, daily official cable reports, reading rooms, moving pic tures and authoritative statements by American officials on international questions, aro among tho means adopted by the I'nited States govern ment to change the long standing dis like for Americans that have prevail ed In Mexico. Thru these varioi: ehannels the war nlms of the United States, Its ac complishments in tho raising of ft huge army, the. sending of a million and a hair men overseas in record time, its achievements in building a inorehant marine, its enormous war expenditures, and tho unity of it.i people, are bolng brought to the at tention of tho intelligent Mexican public In a way never 'before attempt ed. The campaign also is having Its effect on the American residents who, armed with facts and encouraged hy news of Amorican successes In battle, aro doing vigorous personal mission ary work. PRESS Of GERMANY UNDER HIS HEEL (Hy Carl W. Ackerman). Germany belicve.i in publicity at home and abroad, but only the kind that is controlled, colored, Inspired and censored. Last spring the im perial povernment established a Itclchsprcsic-amt, an iiyperlal press bureau, with tho director having the rank of a cabinet minister, and now publicity "at home' is u.a well organ ized and efficient as tho army. Dictates to J it'ss This buieau hua complete power over every newspaper and periodical pubiithed in Germany. It dictates to tho Wolff telegraph agency, the only news distributing apeney In Ger many, and it edits all news dls patche;. cent from the German wiro- i less towers to the outside world. The manner in which Germany j controbi her press is simple and ex j tremely effective bocauso the govern ment nas given mo imperial press bureau, the foreign office, tho police department and the army adminis tration the authority to confiscate any edition of any publication nnd to suppress daily, weekly or monthly publications Indefinitely. Xo Freedom of Press WhIJo the German government possesses this authority there can be no freedom of the press in Germany becauce ho publication, large or smuli, can exist If it is frequently suppressed; that means a loss or ad vertising revenue and subLvribers. The imperial pres bureau controls tho newspapers and magazines in the following manner: All government news is isr.ned thru this otflce and distributed by the Wolff bureau. Gorman newspapers are compelled to publich all this In formation, without changing it. All i telegrams from foreign countries ! have to bo scut to the imperial press bureau. AH editorial article3 must ! ho submitted to the bureau. Tho;ie relating to forelKU ufl'airs aro cen sored by tho foreign office; those TURKEY SECURES NEW ' L0Arj FRQM GERMANY AMSTKKIUM, 'Kept. II.'

Kxct'litlons to lEule For this reason one can safely say that practically everything printed In a German newspaper lias the govern ment's O. K. Thoro aro exceptions. The Tage blatt wai suppressed recently because the editor, Theodor Wolff, published an editorial without submitting It to tho government bureau. Often wo read in the American newspapers editorial comment from various Gorman newspapers. In or der that readers may lie guided In Interpreting thaio expressions of edi torial opinion, I glvo tho following classification of the enemy pross: There are in Germany a few news papers which reflect what is term ed "liberal opinion" by tho Germans. These newspapers favor a parliamen tary form of government and are op posed to tho alms of the Pan-Germans. Tho following newspapers como within tho "liberal class": Tli pltz Press CnniuiK Frankfurter Zcltung, Berliner Tageblatt, having the largest circu lation of any Gorman newspaper; Die Zukunft, owned by .Maximilian Harden, fearless writer,, but with very limited influence; Vorwaorts, social-democratic organ. Last year Admiral von Tirpitz nnd llio Fatherland party purchased a large number of Gorman newspapers. The chief ones are the Berlin I.okal Anzelgor, tho butsche Zeitunf? of Iierliu and tho Tageblatt of Frank- i fart. j Other newspapers holding extreme j annexatlonlrt views . are tho Koel ,nlsche Zcitung (Cologne Gazette), I the Koelnlrcho Volkszeltung (Co I logno Peoplo'3 Gazette), the Catholic ' organ, and the Leipzig tXoueste Nach- richtcn Aroihcr influential German news paper Is the Neueste 'Naclirichton of Munich. While this Is a Bavarian government organ, it was considered a "liberal" newsDaner. until recently there was a repbrt that the Father j land party had obtained control: l'ulherlund Pre;-:s Tho most sinister influence nt work In Gormany today Is that of the : Fatherland press, Theso newspapers J uro subject to Instructions from the leaders of the Fatherland party, which Is being supported, financially entirely by Krupps and the German war Industries. If Germany thould win the war there will be littlo freedom of the press thrunut the rest of tho world, and, on the other' hand, when tho United States and allies win, we shall have an opportunity to help some of the Germans newspapers to realize their dream of a free Gerir.an press, because one the German . govern ment Is dufeated, Its control of tho press will be defeated also. j , Fountain of Youth It is not a myth, but a reality and j women may find It In perfect func ; tional health.
