The effect of these raids have been
of incalculable benefit to the allies.
One of the first was the compulsory
withdrawal bv the Germans of a lame
number of thejr airplanes from the
fighting front for the defense of the
lihine.
Hut a greater train has been the
profound arid widespread depression
caused to the Oernuin people, the
"home front," to use the phrase of
Ludendorff. Captured letters from
places as widely separated as M:inn
heim and Coloene testify to the ter
ror and panic inspired bv the raids

are seeliin" the temporary security
of more distant inland towns. There
are indications that the flight of the
wealthy is causing intense resentment
mixing the working population who.
being for the most part engaged in
war industries, are exposed to almost
nivhtlv danger from the raiders.
Put (he terror of the German popu
lation is not confined to the territory
actually added to the war zone. It
exists throughout the country, partic
ularly in far distant Berlin, where
preparations already have been made
to defend the city against raids.
glial Foeh's great offensive this sum
mer. More than nine miles in deplh
at various points. It had already been
called the "greatest fortress the
world has ever known." Despite
this, Information has reached the
American intelligence officers from
v&riouB sources that tho Germans be
Siyh to work upon it with renewed
vigor soon after the Franco-American
counter-offensive of July 18 which
drove them back over the Marne,
east of Chateau-Thierry and north
west across the Vosle.
One section of the Hindenhurg line
examined by British experts had a
belt of wire eight yards deep, tho
wire being tho size of a lead pencil
and with barbs of an Inch. About ono
hundred yards to the rear was the
first Gorman trench and behind the
trench 100 yards apart wore ferro
concrete positions built to hold from
two to five machine guns. Behind
these "pillboxes" were other machine
1 sun emplacements.
I " Behind the first line were belts of
i wire arranged in a criss-cross geo
metrical pattern, and then, after an
Interval varying fvom several hun
dred yards to half a mile, was the
second trench. With the object of
preventing tanks from crossing it,
the second trench was dug wide
; enough to act as a trap when the big
(crawlers came along.
To the rear of the second trench
line was another licit of wiro and
after that the main or support line.
Tho part of the line examined by the
I British officers had been dug by
j Russian prisoners and had running
'-beneath it a continuous tunnel at a
, depth of about forty feet. Along this
main or support lino staircases led up
from ,tho tunnel every fifty yards.
The tunnel had rooms opening out of
It and was lighted by electricity.
Above wero a number of machine
gun posts and trench mortar em
placements which are connected by
hoists so that ammunition may be
sent up quickly from below.

Amos Ayres, tho man who has
been acting as agent nt the depot
here, has been called off and the
depot Is left without an agent, and
he has moved to Medford. The depot
looks like a forsaken habitation sure
enough for when we made our dally
trip to gather Items of Interest for
the readers of the Mall Tribune we
generally met Mr. Ayres or his
charming wife and little baby boy to
help mako life cheerful, but now
everything is changed and It Is sim
ply the dry routine of business and
our conductor, Charley Hucon is so
busy that he only has time to give a
parsing "Hello" and Is off looking
after the freight, collecting bills,
weighing out the freight that is to ga
out, etc., and the passengers that
travel on the cars look ns tho thoy
had lost their last friend. Hut wc
can't consistently censure the rail
road company, for they have been
running at a loss almost all the time
since they started, and tho jitney
business and the fact that it seems
that a majority of the farmers and
many of the citizens of tho towns of
Kaglo Point, Hrownsboro nnd Trail
own autos themselves and when they
want to go to Medford jump Into
their car and go and if a nolghbor
happens to want to go they cheer
fully take them along. And another
tiling that has helped to put the rail
way company out of business is tho
auto trucks, as they aro used to haul
the wheat and other grain to the mill
and to hKiil tho produce to the mar
ket and tho on liardhus uso them to
haul their boxes to tho orchards and
take a load of fruit hack, and the
farmers use them to haul their spuds
and corn to market' so that tho rail
road company does not have near the
amount of business to do that they
might if husineiis was carried on in
the old fashioned style. It Is pre
dicted that as soon as tho logging
Industry stops that tho railroad cars
will run only enough to hold their
franchise. Hut looking nt the fitili
Ject from tho different viewpoints
there seems to bo nobody to blame,
but simply a change in business
methods.

Increased Output Assures Ample "BULL"
DURHAM Tobacco for Soldiers and Sailors
and Limited Quantity for Civilians at Home
With .the little muslin sack of "BULL" DURHAM in the
pockets of every one of our fighting men on land and sea
With good old "Bull" in the regular Army "rations"
And with the future demands of the War Department
cundantly cared for, "BULL" DURHAM Tobacco is offered again
to the men at home who "roll their own". j
All of which has been accomplished since April, when the'
Government asked for our entire output of "BULL" DURHAM
for war use, which was freely and gladly given. It has been ac-
comphshed by greatly increasing our manufacturing facilities and'
through the personal enthusiasm and individual efforts of every one
of our thousands of employees. .. i
So that now a limited amount of "Bull" is available for civilians
at home-those men who have "rolled their own" in the past and
who have, in the last few months, so cheerfully relinquished their
supply in order that our fighting boys" might be fully provided for.
Once more, therefore. Vdll will ma lrnn, ....'It. . k
