There were many delays In mooting grand 1oIct re quirements, but those were finally mot ano the lodgo was formed. On that Initial meeting 43 homo less Elks from mnny different states were Initiated. To properly launch tho new unit, more than 400 Elks of other chapters Journeyed to the boom town of Med ford to participate In tho ceremonies.

Following Insti tution of the lodgo and election and Installation of tho first officers, tho grout gathering attended a banquet In a publlo skating rink, the only building In the city large enough to accomodate the members and their guests.

CAREFUL CONFLICT WESTERN LINE First Authentic Picture of French Front Given by A. P. Correspondent After Visit to Battle Scene By Henry C. Cassldy WITH THE FRENCH ARMY ON THE WESTERN FRONT, Oct. 3. (AP) Under front ' lino shellflrs r hove Just seen French forces at tacking In tho Saar basin of Ger many. I also entered captured Oerman ground with advance troops In the Warndt forest, west of Saorbruecken, and went through aubterranean gal leries of France'a Maftlnot line on the first authorized trip of accredited war correspondents to the western front. Everywhere tho Impression that French officers and troops gave was that they were carrying on the fight to the finish and that while they were not making any very extensive territorial gains they were taking positions of high strategic Importance. Sparring Match Tho war on tho western front thus far Is a cautious sparring match, with the French doing the leading. Thors have been no big battles. Tho troops are not even In trenches. They are skirmishing In forests and raiding villages like tho old Ameri can Indian fighters. But despite the mildness of the action as compared with the gigantic battles of tho World war, this Is serious business. From a front line observation post, with both French and Gorman shells screaming overhead, I saw a French battery score a direct hit on the heights of Berus Just west of Saor bruecken which constitute the pros- em oojectiva of French attacks. Soon afterword I saw a rustic horse-drawn cart carry two bodies out of tho Warndt forest, east of Berus. where I was told a counter at tack by a Gorman Infantry pntrol had been repulsed. French officers estimate tho total German casualties on tho west front slnco the war started a month ago at about 3000, of which BOO to 000 were believed to have been killed. French losses wore described at less. No General Offensive French strategy has boon one of strictly local attacko to rectify their own lines, obtain Information on tho opposing forces and cripple the Soar cool and steel Industry. In these thoy consider they already have achieved Important successes. There were no Indications any general offensive was In prospoct from either oldo In this heavily fortified region. French orflcers t.ik. that one of tho sensations of tho war for t.liem had been tho performance of the Curtlss pursuit planes bought In the United States. One estimated the curtlss with French pilots hnd lmi,Di,t down 28 Gorman planes with a loss of only two of their own. In one lomont over tho western front, a erencn officer said. nine rti.. plsnes wore pitted against 18 German enicninmis and brought clown vo of tho enemy, losing two of their own. In another tangio over tho Voogos mountains three cni.. inanes rougnt throe Qormon Helnkol uomoora end forced one down. wvuiywnere mo first. n,inattn iem.ii auimcrs asked Amerlrnn respondents was; "When Is the United going m revise the neutrality NEUTRALITYZONE 21 Republics to Notify Bellig erents of Intention to Pre serve Rights Comple ments Monroe Doctrine PANAMA. Oct. (AP) Twenty- one American republic, having out lined a western hemisphere safety zone to Insulate them from the Eu ropean war, today started formal not ification to belligerent of their ac tion. At the suggestion of United States Under-Secretary Sumner Welles, Pres ident Juan Demostenes Arosemena of Panama was requested by the Inter American conference to communicate to warring nations the neutrality declaration adopted last night. To Demand Rights The republic voiced their Inten tion of "remaining apart from the European conflict," but declared they would dpmand their "proper rights' as neutrals. Some delegates called the declaration of Panama a "com plement to the Monroe doctrine, They said It established for the first time "continental American seas," The declaration asserted neutral American republic "have the Indis putable right to preserve free from all hostile acta" the waters adjacent to the American continents. Failure of belligerents to recognize the zone would bring "necessary measures" to be decided upon after conaulatlon. The declaration of "general neu trality" allowed each country to adopt its own method of making It enective ana fixed uniform stan dards, rights and obligations of neu trals with belligerents. To Guard Neutrality It provided American nations should not permit their Inhabitants to Jeopardize the neutrality of the western hemisphere by their activi ties, nor permit enlistments or prep aration of expeditions in favor of belligerents on their soil. Other measures said the nations: 1. Shall not permit their territories to be used as bases for belligerent activities. 3. Shall bar belligerent warships from their ports or waters in num bers of more than three at a time and permit their presence for no longer than 24 hours. 3. Shall demand belligerent craft seeking hospitals in American eones respect neutrality laws and regula. Hons. 4. Shall hold flights of belligerent aircraft over American territory to uo neuvrauiy mirnctions, ft. Shall be authorized to station guards aboard belligerent merchant vesflois in American ports and intern such ships for excessive delay in port. 0. Shall permit transfer "In good faith and without resale" of belliger ent vessels to neutral American re publics. 7. Shall bor armed merchant ves sels from entering their ports when tho boats carry more than six-Inch cannons on their prows. These ves sels shall not have reinforced sldos or other offensive equipment. 10. May exclude belligerent sub marines, or admit them on the con dition they enter aflont flying the flag of their nation. 4 Monday: stew mostly steady, load good loio 10. red steers 99.80.

The difference wns that the things we packed were steel helmet and gss masks, at the request of French officers, as well as heavv boots trench coats and field glasses. Another difference was thst the trip wss prepsred long In advance with such rltusl as signing state ments absolving the French army of any responsibility for our lives. After a hard ride over military roads to the east we reached the battlefield In rolling farmland studded with forests, streams, fields nnd villages like the New Eiwlnnd countryside. A dull thumping sound was the first evidence of war. It came from French artillery fire.
