tliin jjreatest nrniy nf 1'ic.hlini; xhii,
ever assembled, live from day to c'uy
on the hope that tile Itcrnuin fleet will
emerge.
"We dare you to come out!" is the
fcpirit of the crnud I'lcct.
I jet this information from a hi.h
nnviil offieer on Admiral Sims staff,
who has just returned from the fleet
(liallcimiMl to I'lulit
JJoyd Geonto summed up the fleet'
ehalleue in 11 recent speech to u body
of miners :
"The German,'' said (be premier.
"has u e.ood opinion of himself; and
tho he hail fewer ships than we had. he
was the better man mid would show
it when the time rutin. Well, I wi n
lie would bein! Our sailors haw
been waiting, mid wailing and waif-")."
"In this speech the prime miuister
Voiced the spirit of the sailors so ac
curately, be mi);ht have been sppukinir
for them," said the American naval
officer.
Hopes fur .Naval I'lirht
The officers and men in the fleet
now think the possibility of the Ger
man fleet tailing n (.'amble is "on the
cards." Hero's how they figure it:
1. The Germans are ,'ettine; pelt
ed and worsted ricjtt and left on land.
And 11s the morale of the German peo
jtle .'oeK down, the kaiser may "take
11 chance" on u licet nation, lo re
vive their Hinkiuj; siprits.
M. The German papers have re
cently been Inlkinir about the possi
( liility of a "sen offensive." Some are
demanding that the fleet "do Hotne
IhiiiR." II N'culrnl and German papers
lioth eoniment on the full representa
tion the German navv had in the re
cent war council of the central pow
ers, niul there has been much specu
lation on the theory that the council
liecided on a sea batlle.
No naval authority will talk aboul
Die chance of the German fleet cotii
injf out, but they're theorizing. One
primp holds that before they arc
whipped the Germans must make the
venture. The other uroup insists Ibal
the Germans know that although they
miht sink a number of allied ships,
they would be certain of defeat, and
that the kaiser will hint; on to the
fleet to the last, and try to save it by
negotiation.

Mlioi liorollty Poocr hpcitt the
week end with friends at tlranta Pass
Of tbo crowd of several thousand
people who leathered about the Bpec
lal train tieurln; tropliles captured
trom tbo Germuns by the American
forces at Chateau-Thierry, Trance,
only about half wtre able to Ret Into
the box car where the smaller war
relies were on exhibition during the
hour and a half stop Ju Medford.
This was Medford's first view of war
trojittles and the grim exhibition was
eagerly viewed.
Tho big crowd was waiting when
tbo train arrlvod at 0 o'clock from
Ashland where another large throng
had seen the relics this morning.
After lnttcir. by Hoot's band, Frank
Grant and James Staploton of Port
lam', delivered rliort patriotic ad
dresses urging the liberal purchasing
of Liberty bonds. The speakers were
Introduced by . A. Carter of Port
land, formerly of Gold Hill. In the
meantime the crowd began forming
in line and passing thru tho box car
to see the smaller exhibits. Hobcrt
E. Smith of Itoseburg, Btato chair
man of the liberty loan campaign,
and Kilitur J. I:, gltellon or the
Kugcno Guard weie also on the train.
Interesting Itclies
Probably the Most interesting and
conspicuous of the war worn, rusty
trophies was the French M. M. 75
gun which wns originally captured
by tho Germans, and later recaptur
ed by the Americans. One woman i
while gazing at ;Ms piece of artillery
with awe and reading the sign on it
"French M. M. 75 " exclaimed to her
companions "Mv Goodness alive, that
awful thing sho Ms 75 miles!"
Tho German "Whizz-lmng," taken
from ine Germans at Chatcau-Thlcrr.,
by the Americans, gave tho assem
bled people an idea of the death
dealing agencies against which the
American boys are battling, as did I
tho captured German field guns,
trench mortars and howitzers, ma
matle machine gens mid .eppelin
shells. Most of these wero mounted
on tho flat car. In the box car wero
exhibited smaller weapons such as
automatic rifle.t, hand grenadc3,
bomb throwers, six-inch shells, and
machlno gun and other cartridges.
Soldiers l.iilciialn
A detail of soldiers from Vancou
ver barracks not only guarded the
trophies nnd preserved order In the
crowd, but cnlivei ed tho occasion by
singing a niitnbor of army soul's in-
cluditig tho humorous ditty "All we
do is sign the pay roll; and we never
get a dog-gone cent." Two buglers
with their blowing of the various
army calls gave i. touch of military
realism to the occasion.
Before 1 ho tialn pulled out the
crowd and soldiers gave threo cheers
for President Wilson, General Persh
ing and for the nrniy. navy and mar
ine corps. The train departed prompt
ly nt 1 0 : :t 0 for Gold Hill, stopping
there for a short time. Formal stops
wero scheduled today for Grants
Pass, Glendalo and Kosebtirg. The
train made stops at Klamath Falls
and Montagiio on Sunday.
On tho sides of tho cars lit large
letters were the following inscrip
tions: "Some of the Itacon the Hoys
Are Bringing Home," nnd "Liberty
Bonds lOnahled Our Boys to Wreck
this Havoc."

Victory I? ComplWo
LONDON', Sept. 2,t. The victory
of General Ailenby in Palestine Is
hailed here as a model in conception
and execution, his consummate use
of cavalry being especially praised by
military critics.
The Immediate effect of the vic
tory is likely to be the liberation of
the Holy land, for it Is anticipated
that General Ailenby will have little
dim-culty In entirely clearing north
ern Palestine and be able to relieve
his communications by establishing a
base at Haifa, whence the railway
runs to Italian and Damascus. Thus
the whole Turkish railway system in
southern Syria la controlled by the
Anslo-French forces in Palestine.
The Turkish d saster. It Is pointed
out, is -besinnins to have the most
profound reaction in Constantinople
and Sofia and likewise to compro
miso tho situation of the Turks in
.Mesopotamia. It seems probable also
that it will terminate the Turkish
adventures in Persia and tho Cau
casus. The Morning Post urges that a
diplomatic effort bo made to detach
Turkey from the central powers.

2-"i. Serbian and allied rrnnps in cen
tral Macedonia have dealt the (it rman
nnd Buln rimi communication lines
blows that me expected to briny
about a complete readjustment of tb
enemy positions in ttiT Macedonian
theater of operations. The import
ant railway lines from T'skub to Sal
oniki and from (Irndsko to Prilep
have been severed nnd the enemy
forces around Luke Doirun and north
of Monasstir are in dimmer of bein
outflanked and captured.
On the western front the Hriti-h

of Vendeuil, nine miles south-southeast
of St. Quentin.

continues, and the tpiuntity of war
material also is incrcusim;.
The salient driven into the Bulga
rian lines at Soko has been widened
until how the allies are advancing on
a front of nearly "j0 miles, stretching
east of Monasir to the Vmdar. When
they readied the Vardar the Serbian
were able to cut the railway runniiij
south toward Salonii and the only
communication line of the liiilariniw
in the region of Lake Doir.tn. On the
western flank the Serbians have
pu-hcd to the highest point of the
mountain region in the upper part of
the Cerna bend and cut the railway
from (Iradsko southeast of I'skub
to Prilep, the base of the German
army operation north and northeast
of Monastir.
liy cutting the railway lines the
Serbs have placed two larire enemy
forces in yreut peril. The Bulgarians
around the Ooirnu miuht retire
northeastward over the mountains in
Bul.L'nriu or north alon the Vardar.
British and Greek troops are oppos

could, however, bv crossing ill foree
