L Following a severe lecture given to him last night h.r Culled States Dis trict Attorney Haney, Rolph Weber stadt, tho young rancher arrested early this week because of having mado seditious utterances, was re leased from the county jail by Mr. Haney 's orders and given his free dom. As far ns tho government Is con cerned Andrew J. Vedder, the float ing laborer arrested on the same charge, will also he a free ninn ns soon ns he has served out his 10 days jail sentence for carrying a concealed weapon. He also was bitterly ar raigned for his treasonable talk of the past by Mr. Haney and warned nffalnst any repetition of It In the future. The district attorney did not deem either caso of sufficient importance to bring before a I'nited States com missioner, especially as he doubts the nanitay of Vedder ami thinks MieherMadl's conduct was due more to ignornme llian downright treason. Janitor Hovey of ihe Medford high school building came to grief through violating the rood administration's sugar purchasing and consumption ruling, and as at consequence the local Red Cross chapter Is 2o richer in money for patriotism. Other vio lators may yet he caught. In checking up t:ie sugar cards from grocers County Food Adminis trator Folger discovered that this man, who part of the tiirio has only two members in his family, and the rest of the time three, had purchased during tho canning season '200 pounds, whereas at the most he was only entitled to 1U0 pounds. The sugar was purchased from two differ ent grocories, 100 pounds from each. "You Just thought you could put it over on us" said Mr. Folger to the man, whom ho had summoned before him for a hearing, and who had claimed ignorance of the sugar rul ing and any intent to violate. Mr. Folger finally suggested ho would have to pay $25 to the Red Cross and $2 costs for the hearing, or take a trip to Portland and he tried be fore the federal authorities. The checking of the sugar cards from tho different groceries is only partially completed and others may get caught in this checking process. EXPLOSION WRECKS PLANT. (Continued from page one.) er'te-i were devoted to a vert ins a wor-e dia-ter. .Thousands of people had hurried awnv from Morgan ami surrounding towns (lurinir (lie nitiht, leaving iiiunv communities virtunllv without resident populations and with them muv have one mini v of the (iillespie emplovps. Military trunrds were thrown around the plant and all newspaper men were barred from the vicinity of the explosions. T, . T. Mngaincs Ituiied With bii: explosions still takiim place at Id a. m. shaking surrouud inir towns. Vice President Yales of the Gillespie company gave out the following statement : "We eanoiit conceive how it can Inst much louver. The larL'e mairn-zine-i of T. N. T. nre buried in a bank of the Cheesemmke creek and we feel are safe." The actually known dead number 11. While utiof fieinl estimates placed the number of known fatalities nt Tt7 nt 10;;itl a. m., an officer of tho (iil lespie cotiionnv expressed the opinion that the death lit would prove much smaller. Out of the confusion mine this storv of heroism. A trainload of ex plosives lav on a sidimr near tite Gillespie plant. A railroad fireman, his identity not vet known, jumped to the engineer's post on n loeomo tivle, coupled it to the train und took the ears out of the danger zone. As his task was completed, a shell struck him and he was killed. As u precaution, authorities order ed evacuation of all towns within 10 miles of .Morgan. Some refugees said that before the first explosion occurred last niuht they saw an airplane hovering over the Gillespie plant. Slgnor Iterenlni, Italian minister of education, has ordered the estab lishment of chairs of Kngllsh and French literature in every Italian unlversltv. BROAD FRONT (Continued from page one.) the liattle, eKpeclally on the left of the line ,near the Argonne forest, where the advance was quite rapid. These machines were able to go over the ground easily becuuse the mud had dried out considerably. During the past few days the co-operation ot the tanks with the Infantry has been perfect. DOUAI FIRED BY HUNS. Continued from page one.) that each end of it enfilades any force that attai ks another portion. The American troops on the left kept in perfect touch with the center and rapidly cleaned up Exennont and Chehcry and captured Fleville. Hy noon they had mopped up I. a ter- Siette and I.e .Menil farm, as well as the Grange farm. They had also taken Hill 2 10. This advance had "been just as rapid as that of the troops further to the east, notwith standing the fact that they went over the top a 5S0 o'clock without any artillery preparation and handed the Germans a big surprise. Just south of C'hehery the general advance was slowed up by a German counter attack and the American tanks had to be sent for to drive the enemy hack. ,The Germans have set fire to villages of liomagne, Gesnes, Cornay, Danthoville, Chevieries, St. Juvln and Marco,. Shells from Amer ican guns fell thick along the front and ammunition dumps everywhere were exploded when the shells reach ed them. Center's Task lluMrst On the center of the line fell the bulk of the work. It was here that the deppest advance of the day had been planned. On the right the troops operating northward along the Meuse met with hardly any resis tance at first and easily pushed up to the outskirts of Bruleulles. Ger man artillery on the east side of the river, however, soon opened up an enfilading fire which not only af fected the extreme right of the Amer ican line, but carried far over toward the center. Tho enemy artillery fur ther west along the line opened up with a barrage thru which one Infan try regiment had to storm before the American guns could silence the Ger man batteries. t All the areas back ot the American linos were subjected to nn Intense bombardment before the attack had boen going on very long. After cross ing No Man's Land and getting into the enemy defenses, the American in fantry was "Htet 'with "machine gun fire which ' was Intense all along the line. The fighting was so bitter everywhere that the number of pris oners taken fell far below the total for the first days of the last two drives. Among those brought in were some belonging to naval units, showing that reinforcements had hurriedly been thrown In against the American nttack. Tanks played a prominent part in fortwss. While the British advanced toward I. Hie from the west, the Brit ish and Belgians In Flanders con tinue to widen the salient east ot Vpres, further menacing the German position in Flanders and south of the Scarpe. Villages fiPt Afiro American troops stormed the Ger man lines east of the Argonne forest. They advanced all along the line, especially Just east of the Argonne forest, where they pushed forward as far as Fleville. Many villages hacke of the Ger man lines are reported burning. They are evidence that the enemy intends to retire further toward the Krlem- hlld line, .which is the main defensive position west ot the Meuse. Dispatches show the enemy Is abandoning his submarine bases on the Belgian coast. In Albania Austrian armies along the Semini river seem to be in precip itate retreat. Italian cavalry Is op erating in this theater of the war. Save vour papers and mneazines specially the irlnzeil paper ones, lor Ihe Jied Cross, and R'md them to Ihe corner of Main and Bartlet next week and the Red Cross rooms after nevt week.
