Vnrriurallon of (inn There has been a great concent ra lion oi franco-Amcnenn artilltrv uml entente airplanes are operating in large numbers. The Germans now are falling back lm the front on each side of the St. Mihicl salient. I hough uhiloiihtciMv suiicioiis of the intentions of the Americans in Ibis region, the Germans were una ware ol the tune and the direction of the nttnek. Tho American troops nre all in tensely eager and are fighting mag liificentlv. The movement evidently Is aimed primarily at the elimination of the famous St. Mihlol salient, which for more than four yoars has projected Into the allied line southeast of Ver dun. The attacks were launched on both sides of the salient on a 12-mile front on the westerly side. The as saults were progressing favorably at mo latest roports. ' There have boon many predictions that an American offensive was like ly this fall, and Lorraine has been montloned ns ono of the more nroli able fields for tho attack. Tho Ger man cltadol of Mot lies only some firteon miles northeast of Pont-A Moussoii, at tho easterly odgo of the salient under attack and It sooms probable that this may )o a further objective of the offonslvo.

The St Mihlol sallont Is nearly twenty miles wtue at its moth, from Fresnos, II miles southeast of Vonfiin. to Pont A-.Mousson, and somewhat more than 13 miles In depth, with Its npex Just to tho southwest if St. .Mlhiel.

Mrs. Nellie Arnold of Medford, for merly connected with the Koyal Uak- ery had a thrilling experience Sunday when she became lost In the wilds of tho Siskiyou mountains on the Cali fornia Bido. She had been sojourn ing at Cinnebar Springs for lomii time and was to meet Mrs. Hattle Neuber of Medford at .the Curtis ranch on the Klamath rlvor, 12 miles Bouth, and about 27 miles from Horn brook. Mrs. Noubor would be there with a car and thoy would journey to Medford, according to plans previ ously decided on. Mrs. Arnold left Cinnebar springs on horseback early Sunday morning for tho Curtis ranch, expecting to be there about 11:30 a. m. Early that afternoon she discovered that she had gotten off the trail in that wild mountain country and was lost. She continued to ride around searching for the trail until about 3 p. whon she ran across tliree men con nected with a logging camp at Hilt They proved to be strangers and Ig norant of tho locality except that they know of a miner's eabin about three miles away. However, after much riding and walking she was unable to find the cabin and then, almost exhausted from the rough going and worrying was trying vainly to find her way back to the springs when she again ran across the three men. They took her to a logging camp about 10 mih from Hilt, where she spent the night Monday morning Mrs. Arnold rode on a logging trnln to Hilt, and she ar rived home In Medford Monday night BLAME ENEMIES FOR WARl (Continued From Page One.)

Itopoatedly during the past months the responsible leaders of the Imperial Gorman government have unambiguously given to under stand, to ovoryone who wished to iindorstnnd, that we nro at all times ready to offer tho hand to ponce. The emperor declared the answer of Germany's enemy was the outspo ken will to destruction, the disinte gration, tho crushing of Gormnny After referring to "our iravo army,' death dofylng navy," and "our U- boats like a consuming worm," the emperor continued: Jtensoiis for War Many among you havo often ask ed thomsolvcs during this long war: How did such a thing happen? Why did wo have to undergo such a thing after forty years of peace?" I think It Is a quostlon well worthy of an answer and which must bo answered for the (mure for onr children and for our grandchildren. I havo thought long on tho matter, and have come to tho following answer: ' In this world good dashes with evil. That is how things havo been ordered from on high tho yes and tho no; tho no of the doubting mind against tho yes of tho creative mind; tho no of the pessimist against the yes of the optimist; the no of the unbeliever against tho yes of the champion of faith; tho yos ot heaven against the no of hell. You will acknowledge that I am right In describing this war as the product of a grent negntlon. and do you ask what negation It Is? It If the negation of tho German people's right to existence. It Is tho negation of all our kuliur, a negation of our achievements, of all our work. (euerous Germans! Tho German nation was Industri ous, meditative, assiduous, imagina tive in all domains. It worked with Iwdy and soul. Hut there were people ho did not wish to work, but to rest ii their laurels. Those were onr enemies. We got closo to them thru our profitable work and the develop ment ot our Industry, science and art; thru our popular education and social legislation. Thereby, our peo ple throve nnd then came envy. "Kuvy Induced our enemies to fight, anil war came upon us. And now when our opponents sen that their hopes have been deceptive ann how our war heroes, of whom your now workshops are rightly named, haio dealt them blow upon blow, hatred springs up. We only know the honest wrath which deals the enemy the blow, but when he lies prostrate and bleeding we extend to htm our band and see to his recovery. Hatred manifests Itself only among peoples who feel themselves 'eaten. If, therefore, such terrible hatred exists amonn our enemies It owes Its origin to the fact that tholi calculations hjve been wrong. Kvery one who knows the character of the Anglo Savons knows what It means to tlcht them how tenacious the are. e do not know when the strug gle will end. but one thing we do know, namely, that we must tight the battle thru." Please God by Winning The enipcior referred to tho Ger man empress "who by God's assis tance again is on the road to recov ery." He recalled the passages In the Illble: "Cast thy burden upon the Lord and lie shall sustain thee," and "but seek ye first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things shall bo added unto you." The em peror then added: , , "How can we please God and soften Ills heart? ny doing our duty in making our fatherland free. Con sequently It is our duty to hold out with all our strength In the fight against our encmlos. "Each one has received his ap pointed task from on high. You at your hammer, you at your lathe and I on my throne. AVe must all, how ever, build on ,God's assistance. Doubt Is the greatest Ingratitude to ward tho Lord and now I ask you all simply and honestly: Havo we then, really ground for doubt? Itcfors to Achievements "Just look at the four years of war! What Immense achievements we have behind us! Half the world stood against us and our allies and now we have peace with Russia and peace with Rumania. Serbia and Montenegro are finished. "Only In the west do we still fight and Is It to be thought that good God will abandon us there at the lost moment? "We should be ashamed of the falnt-heartednoss which comes when one gives credence to rumors. "Wo ofton at home and at the front, In church and in the open air have sung "Kino res to burg 1st unser Gott.' So It is.'

LONDON, Sept. 12. Great Britain Is considering another ! mammoth tunnel project In addition to that connecting Britain and France. It is a proposed channel tunnel between Britain and Ireland. fair Arthur Fell, of tho Channel Tunnel committee (the British French tube), recently put the pro posals for this projeel, before the In ternational parliamentary commer cial conference In London, and the conference recommended that work bo started at the earliest possible moment. That it will be commenced as soon as possible after the war is a cer tainty. Sir Arthur pointed out that in the seven years preceding the war, trade Iwtween France and Gdmiany In creased in volume twice as fast as did the Franco-British trado, because largely, of bad shipping conditions and high charges. As to tho tunnel which would con nect Britain and Ireland It was urged upon Premier Lloyd George recently by Gershom Stewart, 'M. P., and Lloyd George in a letter promised to con sider tho scheme just as soon as he could spare the time from urgent war work. BRITISH EDGE WEARER. (Continued From rage One.)

As the Associated Press corres pondent entered one of the fields a big gray machine rose from a nearly field with n loud droning noise. 'There goes n Liberty airplane," said one of the officers. It was one of the fast increasing number now coming, and every flight was watched with keenest interest and growing en thusiasm by those who will put it to" the supreme test on ihe. fighting front. Only one opinion was heard among these men, that it was the biggest and fastest machine of them all. It wa doing wonders in quick ascent, and besides straight-away flight it h;id been put through all the intricacies of acrooatie ium and had been pro- I nounced equal to the whole range.
