LATEST WAR NEWS '
Borne Juno 20. The capture of
1,220 prisoners and tho enforced with
drawal ot tho Austrians toward the
eastern salient of Moutollo was an
nounced by the war office today.
''The bittlo is continuing with great
bitterness north of the Monte Bolluna
railway ' ' the statement declares. " Wo
made the enemy withdraw towards the
eastern salient of Montell0 taking 1,
226 priuoncrs Bud numerous machine
guns."
"On the Asingo platoau," the state
ment adds, ''French troop carried
enemy positions at Bertigo and Tennar,
taking 102 prisoners. At Monte Costal
unga 100 prisoners were captured.
"Along the Piave the struggle is
fluctuataing with fierce fighting on tho
front linos. At Zcuson yesterday the
onemy succeeded in gaining ground but
was forced to retire to the west of San
Dona. Wa took 513 prisoners."

Vienna via London, June 20.. Six
assaults by Italian troops to capture tho
new Austrian positions on Montcllo
wore repulsed with heavy losses, tho
war office announced this afternoon.

Financier Insists That Fri
sian Leaders Know Casse
Is Doomed
New York, June 20. The drift of th
war is satisfactory, inasmuch that de
spite progress of the enemy on the map,
the allies are making still greater pro
gress in the matter of power. This it due
in part to the rapidity with which Ant
erica is now coming into the fight, plus
the grewing confidence of British and
Fnneb. in their ability to hold fast un
til we arrive in adequate force. Ger
many 'a refusal to admit coming defeat
is quite comprehensible. Though unwill
ing to make the admission, Prussian
leaders undoubtedly knew that militar
ism is doomed; that the superior re
sources of tha allies, reinforoaid by the
oncoming flood of American soldiers,
'will ere long destroy their power for
good. They are too intelligent to real
ly believa that in their present condi
tion of decline they ean accomplish their
worldwide ambitions. But out of sheer
desperation they prefer the chances of
ruin Tathcr than confess defeat. They
are taking the gambler's ehaneea and
plunging with the utmost recklessness,
hoping to secure all the advantages pos
sible and do all the injury possible be
fore the fateful peace parleys begin.
Tb.9 greater their winnings now, the
greater the chance they hope of using
those winnings as an offset to the allied
terms. Of course German military lead
ers will not admit such contingencies;
and by skillfully deceiving its civilian
population and buoying them up with
doctored reports of great victories,
dreams of Mittel Europa, etc.( they
have been able to keep the war going.
So the cruel game is still on for the
purpose of maintaining a criminal gov-
er part of the Piave front by violent
counter r.ttacks. On Montello aiyl along
the Fossetta canal in bitter fighting we
drove the Italians west to a point
south of tho Treviso railway."
Washington, June 20. Thirteen per
cent of those attacks on German U
boats in tho last three months, given
official cognizance by the navy de
partment have boon "successful,"
the department reported today. Only
those attacks occurring tinder the
direct observation of officers or men
connected with tho naval service are
accepter, it was stated.
London,- June 20. German seaplanes
attacked a British naval squadron re
connoitorir.g in Heligoland bight Wed
nesday morning and one of the hostile
planes was brought down, according to
announcement of the admiralty this
afternoon.
"Nouo cf our vessels was hit," the
statement adds. '
I Eomo, June 20. The first contingent
of American airmen has gone to the
Italian Iront and will go into action

nounced here todayy. Captain Iia

Song Lee Louie Says
Frank Smith Beat Him
x
Song Lee Louie has filed a com
plaint in Judgo Wetoster ' court against
Frank Smith in which be allege that
Smith on April 18 maliciously assault
ed, beat and kicked him without
cause or provocation. Abo that on ac
count of this attack, he alleges that
he has not been able to' work for a
month, to his damage of $110. He al
leges that his doctor bill was $20, his
drug bill $2 and that he had to pay
for extra help $10. The total amount
Song Yee Louie asks for in his bill of
complaint is $242.
The trouble occurred when Song Lee
Louio was running a restaurant in the
bfijmient of the HuilOard building, on
April 18. Frank Smith is a member of
the firm of A. D. Smith ft Son, flor
ists, of 1203 North Li1erty and Song
Lee Louie is now in the restaurant
business in the old Salem hotel. He has
lived in Salem about 20 years end w 1 V ' P

The momentary situation is consider
ably better than a month ago. Tx
payments are practically cut of the wy.
and a new bond issue is not expected
until towards the end of the year. Pay

readily met, and the Treasury can An
ticipate its wants by treasury net
thus scattering its demands aad vrt
Ug periodic stringency.
The treasury is also disposed to
allow funda to remain iu the banks
until wanted; so that by usa of skillful
direction, financing the war will cause
as little disturbance in the money mar
ket as possible. ThU week easier con
ditions prevailed and good borrower
found little difficulty iu securing nae
esaary accommodation. Soma additional '
relief waa felt through resumption ef.
iild imports from Canada, where it 1
understood the Bank of .England has
bc,;n holding about 52,000,000 for ac
count of the federal reserve banks in
settlement of the foreign loan. Abeot

New York; the first gold imported for
a considerable period. These fact 6a
not mean easy or abundant nionoy; for
capital is going to be scarce and will
command high rates for a long time VI
come, but they do mean easier condi
tions for soino weeks than have pre
vailed thus far in 1918. Iu this connec
tion, it is interesting to note that the
British government will hereafter bor
row much less in this market, the rea
son being that hitherto it has financed
its allies and that henceforth their re-
(jiv.-sts for aid aro more likely to bo
made directly to tha suited States in
stead of through or upon Great Britain.
A better investment demand has de
veloped since money became icss strin
gout. Quite a number of new issues arc
now appearing. As thesn must have hcf
the approval of he authorities, they
show that government restraint upon
investments has been temporarily modi
fied. Not a little uneasiness lias been
created by the situation of pubiio util
ities, which lira much in the same po
sition as the railroads were before tho
government stopped lu; that they
have been starved by the prolonged hos
tility of public service commissions anil
an unfriendly ptibliu opinoiu. Not a few
light, power and local transportation is
sues are selling at exceedingly low
pi-ices, and dividends save often been
imperilled, if not impaired, by tho ad
vance in wages and other expenses,
while charges fur service remained un
changed. It is not unlikely that a turn
for the better is at haud, becauj., tho
action of the fctlorul government in re
gard to the ruilronds was a siguilicanl
example, and will no duitbt hasten ad
vances in charge for gait, electricity,
street railway fures, etc., in compenda-
tlou for the increased cost of doing bi;sb
ness. The national railroads are making
steady progress. Better gross earning)
aro often reported, aud net r-'turns two
guaranteed by tho government. The ad
ministration has also made liberul prep
aration for necAstuuy impioveuiujits imtl
equipment, haviug authoiiised expendi
tures of $940,000,000 during 1018, of
which $206,000,000 will bo for freight
cars $190,000,000 for locomotives, $:ja,.
0U0.0OO for bridges, trestles, etc., tat,
000,000 for rails aud trucks, $62,000,000
for shops, $98,000,000 for yards and sid
ings, $17,000,000 for mniu tracks, $28,
000,000 for passenger cars und $22,000,
000 for stations, ii'it to spjuk of u hoot
of other outlays. Such vast expenditures
necessitated by prolonged starvation,
moiia intense activity in tho steel indus
try for many mouths to come, ltnilroud
shares haws in consequence shown decid
ed steadiness and not a littlo strength
ut times. The uuukct for industrials litis,
however, been somowhut spotty; iutruiM-
ed expenses and Jieiivy taxes having in
not a few instances materially affected
dividend-paying properties. Tho ques
tion of taxation is still a serious prob
lem. Onu-tliiid of the cost of war is ap
parently to lvi paid out of luxes und
these aro to bo doubled. Tliero is gen
eral willingness to meet this great ad
ditional burden; but then? id neverthe
less much criticism concerning- the in
justices and coufufiun of tho present
law; also a fear that unless the new
taxes are judiciously applied, tlwy wil!
dry up the sources of revenue anil new
capital. J-'or somo reason tliero is much
distrust in the competence of congrebS
to draw up a fair and effective meusiiru
and much moro confidence la exhibited
in Secretary McAdoo's proposals, sevioro
as they seem ta be.
In financiul circles there has been A
distinctly better feeling.' This was in
duced by a growing conviction of Ger
man defeat, by tho easier money situa
tion aud by further improvement in tho
crop outlook. This latter applies not
only to cotton and wheat, for which big
yields ars probable and record yields
possible; but also to nearly all tne cer
eal crops, which are doing splendidly.
Nature has also been kind to the far-.
mers of Britain and France, so that our
allws need have little anxiety about
food supplies for the coming year; a sit
uation in strong contrast with the en
emy, whose food tupplies are scant aud
have not been augmented as expeeUd
from newly eonqiiersd territory. Indus
trial activity is also running at top
speed in all industries related to war
directly or Indirectly. Labor in such in
dustries Is well employed and often re
ceiving extraordinary wages, which are
usuully freely spent. The only lines in
which there is any shrinkago in de
mands are the curtailment of non-es
sential-things and in building opera
tions, which are little more than one
third in volumo compared with a year
ago. There is still a great deal of eon
fusion arising from the steady expan
sion of government control of business;
but this is duo not so much to unwill
ingness among merchants and manufac
turers as to the inexperionco of officials
who aro often boiug too suddenly thrust
into positions of responsibility. Tho fu
ture of tho. market will of courso b
chiefly influenced by news from th.'J
front from Washington.
