APPEARING AT THE OREGON FRIDAY AND SATURDAY AMBUSHED BY (Continued from page one) 'American patrol of 13 men operating in Picardy ran into an ambush patrol ef forty Germans. Despite inferiority in numbers, the greater part of our pa trol cut its way through the enemy and returned to our lines. Fierceness of the fighting may be' judged from tho fact thit nearly all our men who re turned hsd been wounded. "Particulars concerning destruction of hostileplanes on June 13 as report ed in the communique of June 14 are as follows: "Destruction of one of the German planes occurred during the course of the figit between the American patrol and a group of twelve to fifteen Ger man Albatross scouts. It has not as yet been definitely stated to whom credit for the destruction of the plane, officially confirmed by the French air corps, is due. The second hostile plane was destroyed at 8:15 o'clock in tho morning near St. Mihiel, Here an enemy biplane of the Hanover type was attacked by Lieutenants Meissner, Winslow and Tsylor. During the course of the fight, tho German plane turned over, burst into flames and was seen to crash." Real Fighting Americans With the American Army in Lor Taine, June 18. German patrols which raided American positions northeast of Lunevillo yesterday morning were driv en off after a brief encounter. Several Americans are missing. During the fighting noitr Lnneville, n American lieutenant jumped on the parapet and spotted four Germans car rying off two men. " WhoU go with me and bring back those Buddies!" he shouted. Another officer and four men volun teered. Tbey ran across No Man's land under shell fire, scattered the boches and discovered that one of the wound ed men was a Hun, while the other was an American. The former was be ing carried on a stretcher, the latter being forced to stumble along on foot. ' Dumping the wounded boche un ceremoniously on the ground, they placed i he American on, the stretcher and brought him back to the trenches, j A typical example of German humor was told today by . men in another sector. German airmen dropped notes over towns "in the rear of the American lines, saying: ''See you next Sunday at mass." . On Sunday, these towns were sub jected to a terrific bombardment by the Hun artillery. One shell exploded in tho midst of a group of soldiers re turning from mass, mortally wounding two men. The wounded men, who were bunkies, were placed sido by side in hospital cots, where the last religious rites were performed over them. Realizing they were dying, the pals calmly shook hands across the space be tween their cots, bidding each other farewell, then sank back on their pil lows, exhausted. "Sorry I can't be with D company to got the Germans," one whiskered. Washington, Junel 18. Notional guard troi.ps from Wisconsin and Mich gan are the first American soldiers to fight on German soil. This official an nouncement by the war department to day revealed the identity of troops now fighting in Alsace. The Wisconsin-Michigan troops must make up the 32nd division. They left this country under command of Major General William, G. Haan, and it is assumed that he is still in command. The engineers' train, the supply train and two replacement units of this division were on the steamer Tuscania when it was sunk off the coast of Ire land, last February. . It has been known for some days that American troops were .operating on former German soil, but not until the units had been identi fied by the enemy was the announce ment permitted in this country. So far as is known here, this. is the Wisconsin division's first tour of duty in the trerches. WESTERN UNION - (Continued from page one) by wire on Friday. " . ''The foundation upon which rests tho procedure of the national war la bor board is contained in the follow ing clause of the official paper issued with yonr proclamation of the eighth of April: " 'When the board, after dne effort Corner Court and Coml Street, Salem of its own, through sections, local com mittees or otherwise, fiuds it impossible to settle a controversy, the board shall then sit as a board of arbitration, de cide fhe controversy and make an award if it can reach a unanimous conclu sion. If it cannot do this, then it shall select an umpire, as provided, who shall sit with the board, review the issues and render his award.' "In view of this required procedure, I think we are entitled to state the facts, which are that the Taft-Walsh plan has been referred to as the de cision of the board, was retired by the board under tha above procedure by five votes. Following this failure of un animous action, there was no appoint ment of an umpire, and, therefore, un der the prescribed procedure of the board itself, no decision. "We destre to be perfectly fair with you, sir, as we have been with the board. We are not favorable to shar ing the responsibility of conducting a great public servicfl with the peculiar features of the telegraph, which the ex igencies of the war have increased many fold, with members of an outsida or ganization whoso interests are personal, rather than public. "Under the plan of Mr. Walsh, con curred in by Mr. Taft, an outside union which has for many, years been frank ly hostile to the company, would, undor the pretext of a war emergency, waive its rights to strike during the war, but carry on a propaganda for the purpose of enlisting sufficient of the company's employes for no possible result that it could attain during the war, but onry that it might furnish the nucleus for the disorganization of our service through demoralized discipline and the use of tho strike immediately after the exi gencies of the war had ceased and re leased it from its promises. As indica tive of the character and temper of this union, permit me to quote the follow ing words from an official circular is sued by it calling a meeting in Chicago for Juno 9: " 'Come armed if you deem it neces sary.' "I need not remind you, sir, that the primary obligations of a telegraph ser vice are to provide continuity and com petence and that we desire to protect these essentials not only during this emergency, but at all timis. To this end there are, it seems to us, two plans of procedure. One, compulsory arbitration which, as we recall, you urged on con gress at the timie the great railway strike was imminent. The other is found in the suggestion of our employes that they form their own union or organiza tion on the theory that the normal re lationship between employer and em ploye is that of peace and mutual co operation in the adjustment of their re lations and not that of strife and that a spirit of hostility and efforts of war fare are not necessary for industrial progress or the adjustment of mutual relations. "Now that our employes have deter mined upon their own association, I am sure they would be glad to have the advice and counsel of the national war board in the formation of their or ganization to th end that it may be representative of the employes' inter ests as well as free from any influence that might limit its effectiveness in dealing with the Tights and privileges of the employes. Nothing that can be accomplished by the Walsh-Taft plant Is not accomplished by the employes' as sociation, but there is this important distinction that unionism established under conditions of eoercion and hostil ity is not the same thing as the right to bargain collectively, right which AUTO UCOtSE RECEIPTS FOR AB0VFESTII1ATES Over Rfty-six Thousand Ma chines Ha?e Been Licensed This Year When the Bean-Barrett bill was be fore too legislature the matter of re ceipts from auto licenses was pretty thoroughly discussed and estimates as to the amount were, made showing they -would be large enough to meet the (payments of all bonds sold. Some were disposed to doubt this, but the receipts in the auto department show the estimates were far too low. The increase in the number of autos in the state U astonishing. In 1912 there were 10,165 autos registered. In 1913 there were 13,957, a gain of 3792. In 1911 the gain 'was only 2390. In 1915 there was a jump of 7038 to 23,5S5, and in 1916 the gain was 10,332, the total being 33,917. The increase at the end of last year was 14,715, and the total for the year 48,632. On the last of May last year the total registration was 38,243 which shows that after that date there were 10,390 registrations after that date during the year. To date this year there are 56,050 autos registered and if the increase is at the same rata as last year there should bo at least oo,0U0 by the end of the year. Licensee were doubled under the law passed in 1917 and they av erage this year about $7.50 each. This should make the total receipts from autos, motorcycles and other licenses connected with the department more than $500,000. The registrations up to the end of May this year are almost exactly double what they were at the same date in 1916. The conservation of gasoline and the curtailing of the auto output may prevent such rapid increase until after the war, but the figures show how great a hold the auto has on the public. 49 ARMYCASUALTIES (Continued from page one) Bluffs, Iowa. wounded severely Sergeant Alfred M.

Present War Fight j Against Anglo-Saxons : Amsterdam, ' June , 18. The kaiser, ia replying to Hinden- burg's congratulations on the thirtieth anniversary of his reign, according to a Berlin dis- patch, said: "Britain's intervention meant a world struggle between two world views. Either German principles are right, freedom honor and morality must be up- held; or Anglo-Saxon principles of' idolatry to Mammon must b victorious. "Anglo-Saxon aims are mak- ing the peoples of the world slaves. Such a matter as who- ther the Anglo-Saxon shall.be the ruling race cannot be decid- f d in a year." AUSTRIAN DRIVE ' (Continued from page one) . reported- on the west front by the Brit ish and Geman war offices. "Between the Moselle and the Meuse wa inflicted losses on Americans by an advance on both sides of Xiviay and destroyed portions of their posi tions," Berlin declared. Keeonnoiter ing detachments brought back prison ers from the French and American trew-hea in tho Vosges." Italians Still Hold Enemy Rome, June 18. The Italians con tnnue to cheick the Austiians at all points, inflicting bloody defeats on the enemy at two places on the Piave, a : ; i i .. communique iroui-u uj mu iihiiuu (su preme command at midnight doclnred A successful counter offensive was started by the Italians on the lower Piavc.. The Austrians, exhausted by tho Anglo-French and Italian counter attacks in the. north, have failed to renew their infantry assaults in the mountain region and in the important Montcilo sector. "The enemy failed to renew their infantry assaults in tho mountain!! and ait Montcilo." the eomrmtiuquo said, "South of Montello, between Zen eon and Fossnlta (a three mile frm;t, east of Treviso) an important actioi developed, but the enemy was stopped everywhere. They left a hundred pris oners. "Between, Maserada and Candoln (northeast of Treviso) attempts to cross tho Piave were bloodily repuls ed. . "On the lower Piave a counter of fensive action resulted advantageously to us." t Austria's Entire Strength Romie, June 18. Austria's entire ef fective military srtrongth already has" been thrown into the Italian drive, ac cording to a semi-offkiinl statement to day. Of Austria's total of ninety two di visions (1,104,000 men) seventy one di visions (802,000 men) already have been identified on the Italian front. So far os quality is concerned, these con stitute the whole of the enemy's real ly efficient troops. Tho. Aueibrialns also fiavo nfc least 7!500 guns of all calibers and their en tire aviation force is in use, together with an abjmdnnce of wnr material. Yot, they have only progressed at two points, where their gains are very Hlight compared with tho objectives as signed to them. From .captured documents and the statements of prisoners there is no doubt tho enemy command sent its troops into the of fensive with the, prom isa of booty. Cannon and trench mortars were furnihodi the Austrians in largo num bers by tho Germans. In return, accord ing to prisoners, the Austrians have permitted a German, "requisition" bnt talion to ripcrate on the Italian front, in, order to secure a portion of tho an ticipated! loot. Center Drive on Piave Geneva, June 18 Tho greatest Aus trian gain in tho Italian drivo have been made along the Piave, where they have cHtablished bridgeheads oa throe priiwiipal crossings, according to a dis patch from Italian headquarters. The Austrians, tho dispatch snidf blinded the Italian artillery and air planes by quantities of smoke shells, covering tho Italian trenches along the river with a denso black fog. Un der cover of this, patrols crossed the rivor in boots, pulling pontoons after them. Bridges were constructed on the pontoons and reinforeemonts rapidly crossed. "The three principal crossings" probably refer toi that of II Montollo and the railway bridges at St. Andrea and Ban Dona Di Piuve, Bridge the Piave London, Juno 18, The Austrians havo thrown fourteen bridges across the Piave river, but sufficient reserv es1 aro massed opposite thoni to check tho enemy, according to a semi-official diHpatch from the Italian front today. "Hie situation is most encouraging' the dispoitch said. ' ' To, date the only enemy success has been on the Piave, where he hat thrown fourteen bridges across. These are be ing subjected to heavy artillery fir. The reserves here are believed to bo sufficient to check the enemy," Deny German Orders Geneva, June 18.

The newspapers TOvcal that Austrian headquarters is located just north of the Aw ago plateau. Italy Is Very Firm Rome, June 18.
