of barbed wire in the woods. Conse
quently tho infantry rushed in with but
Flight losses and liy 8 o'clock the woods
were firmly in our possession, and like
wise we held the strongest redoubt in
that sector.
"The offensive gradually spread to
Ornes and by following the same clock
work co-operation of artillery and in
fantry, the Germans took new positions.
"The offensive shifted again toward
the so-called Brabant position. Mortars
and howitzers spat death and destruc
tion against these strong field fortifi
cations, On the J we took this posi
tion. "The driving power, endurance and
discipline of our troops were incompar
able, while our losses, happily, were not
very great."

After heavy artillery preparation, the
Germans rushed French positions in the
Champagne on both sides of the Somme
Xouain road, capturing the Navarin
farm positions on both sides of the road
and 1,600 yards of French trenches.
More than 1,000 prisoners were taken.
The Germans continue to push for

statement. Heavy French attempts to
recapture the ruins of the Uouuumont

HINDOO WONDER AT THE GRAND

Prince of India in Mystery.

Empress Theater, beginning this after
noon. Kami is a genuine Prince of
India and there are many strange things
Kami's act. Paramount among j
them is the mvsterious disappearance
of a woman associate while confined in
a box in midair.
By no apparent means of exit, she
simply goes away from there. The
box containing her body rests on sev
eral supports that are in turn placed j
on top of a table. From time to time
her hand appears, producing various
articles that the conjurer has caused
to disappear. Stage mngie always is
of intense interest.
Besides the entertaining qualities of"
such an act it also affords food for
much thought on part of those view
ing it for the illusions -ire perfect
and were this not the 20th century
and everyone acquainted with the re

might well be attributed to a sort of

Stockholders Before They
Close Company's Books
The officers of the Bankers' and j
Merchants' Mutual Fire Relief nssocia- i
tion of Forest Grove do not have the I
authority to wind up the affairs of that
company without the approval of the
members of the association, according!
to an opinion rendered to Insurance I
Commissioner Harvey Wolls by Attor
ney General Brown today.
It appears that nn old line company
offered to issue new policies to the
members of this association providing
they would cancel tho policies during
the term of the insurance, and with
this agreement the mutual company
would receive a commission on the pre
iums paid by the members to this stock
company and ns an inducement to in
sure in this stock company the officers
of the association proposed to return a
portion of this commission to the mem
bers as n return premium on their old
policies. This offer the attorney gen
eral holds is a rebate and in violntion
of section 4(l9 of Lord's Oregon Laws.

mis amount ot insurance was $14,000.
Their obligations to other members for
fire claims amoluntcd to 48,000, making
a total indebtedness of $22,000 with th
total assets not to exceed $2,000. So
the above proposal would amount to but
very little to the members.
Commissioner Wells stated today that
on January 12 he wrote to the Bankers'
& Merchants' Mutual requesting that
they notify their members of the con
dition of the company in order that
they might protect their interests. On
