To help answer the cry of In nocent European war vlctimi for assistance from a merciful nation, Jackson county chapter of the American Red Crosa will launch a awft 'irWe tomorrow to raise ita quoia of $2400 to ward the national goal of $10,. 000,000. Ben E. Harder was named director of the Jackson county drive yesterday. Immediately he issued call for small num ber of volunteers who could work with him for a few hours each day. Those in a position to serve on his staff were asked to report to Mr. Harder at his of fice In the First National Bank building or to telephone him at 350. Tim Is Essence Tomorrow Mr. Harder will organize the campaign, stream lining the organization for speedy work. He emphasized that the time element is import ant if the victims of the war in Europe are to receive even the superficial help they so badly need. The terrifying war ma chine has struck in innocent countries so suddenly and so savagely that every element of relief must be mobilized with out further delay if any help Is to be administered at all, Mr. Harder pointed out. It is the campaign director's expectation that the county's Quota will be raised in a week. The quota, he said, is a reason able sum, small in comparison with the good it will accomplish for the hundreds of thousands suddenly blasted from their homes by a war In which they wanted no part. Plan Central Ofllca The county's quota, Mr. Har der related, probably will be broken down into smaller quo tas allotted to the different com munities of the county. A central headquarters office will be established at the Jack ton County Chamber of Com merce, he said.

While tha campaign Is being organized, contributiona may still voluntarily be sent to or left at any local bank or the Red Cross office in the court house. Every penny that can be spared is needed and all were urged by Mr. Harder to contri bute in accordance with their means. A telegram received by the local chapter from Red Cross headquarters yesterday said: "Every hour brings new and agonizing details of human de struction and misery in Europe far surpassing anything our imagination can conceive. The gigantic task of relief which faces the American Red Cross in cooperation with other Red Cross societies is a challenge to our leadership and to our gen erosity."

Although the French told ofi Mill violent German assaults all; day Saturday, they theorized : that some of the great flame-' throwing German tanks which lead the charge had dropped back for refueling.

SHOW EFFECT OF STRIKE HOSTILITY Window of One Smashed, Eggs Splatter Another Drivers Deny Implication. Third day of the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen strike on the Pacific Greyhound bus lines passed quietly here yes terday as striking drivers con tinued a sort of passive picket ing at the stage depot. Striking drivers reported that one northbound bus arrived here yesterday with its driver's window smashed in and an other arrived splattered with eggs. The striking drivers, how ever, had nothing to do with either incident, said Sam D. Koehler, Medford driver and chairman of the Oregon griev ance committee. Deny Violence "We do not advocate and we are not engaging in any kind of violence and while we ap preciate the sympathy of the public we hope that none of our friends will do anything not approved by the brother hood," Mr. Koehler declared. "At the same time we want to call the public's attention to the practice of collusion where by acts of violence are perpe trated purposely and then blamed on peaceful strikers." Mr. Koehler said there were about a dozen drivers on strike here and that all of the Broth erhood drivers in the western division were out excepting three in Oregon. Twenty-seven newly hired drivers have join ed the strike, he added. But patronage had declined notice ably, he averred. The company, however, declared operations were normal. Mr. Koehler said he had received a message from San Francisco headquarters saying the police had com mended the strikers for their exemplary conduct. San Francisco, May 18. fPt Receipt of a message from William Green, president of the American Federation of Labor, urging A.F.L. unions to oppose a strike of the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen against Pa cific Greyhound Lines was an nounced today by Edward Van deleur, secretary of the state A.F.L. At the same time, F. W. Coyle, deputy president of the Brotherhood, said the strike of member drivers was "increas ingly effective" and that more than 500 were on picket lines at 45 points in seven western states. He said passenger traf fic was "gradually dwindling." F. W. Ackerman, vice pres ident of Greyhound, denied Coyle's claim, and said only about 200 of 781 drivers were on strike and that operations were "practically normal everv where." He said the A.F.L. Amalgamated Association of Street, Electric Railway and Motor Coach Employes was sup plying all drivers needed.

Fin CENTRAL PL MILL HIGH BIDDER FOR UNiON CREEK PINE 25 Million Board Feet In Rogue River Forest In sures Five Year Operation Southern Oregon Sugar Pine comoany. whose mill is situated at Central Point, was high bid der on 25.000,000 board feet of t'mber on the Rogue River na tional forest, it was announced by forest headquarters yester day. The bids were opened in the U. S. regional forester's office in Portland Friday. There were four bids and competition for the choice timber was said to be particularly keen. The suc cessful bidding was considered a feather in the hat of the local company which has taken the lead in opening up quality tim ber areas in southern Oregon, especially in western white pine. Five Year Operation The local company bid $7.10 per thousand board feet for the entire amount of timber offered for sale. The 25,000.000 board i feet comprised 21,000.000 board feet of sugar pine and 4.000.000 of western white pine. The minimum advertised acceptable price was S8.25 for the sugar pine and $7 00 for the western white pine. The sale will yield ! a total of $177,500 to the forest j service. The timber must be taken out j in five years, the contract speci- fied. Thus this tract alone will; give the local company five! years of operations, it was, pointed out. j The timber will be cut under U. S. forest service supervision and the customary forest service practice of sustained yield op erations will be carried out. The cutting therefore will be done on a selective basis to carry out the government's policy of con servation and the preservation of scenic values. In Woodruff Meadows The timber tract is in the vicinity of Woodruff Meadows north of Crater Lake highway in the Union Creek district of the Rogue River national forest. As is the case of all such re- ccipts. 25 per cent of the money! received by the forest service! from this sale will be divided among the counties in which Rogue River national forest ex tends and another 10 per cent will go to road and trail con struction. mm vote TOPS ROOSEVELT BY (Continued from raa One.) and appeared certain of suc ceeding the late veteran Ralph E.
