AMERICANS FOLLOW CLOSE

Coring Up Machine Gun

By Fred 8. Ferguson :
(United Press Staff Correspondent)
With the American Armies In
France, July 23. Fighting through the
woods in a heavy rain, American troops
continued to puh on stoadily today
in the Marno region.
Mont of today's fighting wjls in
Yuate.lics of wouds where tho enemy
had loft machine gun nests to net as
rear guards in order to cover tho re
tirement of the main German forces.
Tho operations wero thus lagely in' the
Mature of Indian fighting, iliddon de
fense points, mostly manned by ma
chine gun units under eomniaud of non
commissioned officers, wero loenVcd
and routed out by tho Americans. Those
units were under orders to Btay at
heir posts until killed or captured.
Many new prisoners wero taken, as
wewll as many machine guns and much
other equipment,
The ground over which tho Ameri
cans fought was scarcely more than a
aeries of shell holes, destroyed roads,
end roads blocked by broken tree
trunks. Most of tho villages along the
Mnrnc are almost eomnlotoly wrecked.
Herman equipment is scattered every
where. Entering one town American
troops found that the Germans had re
tired so hastily from it, that meals for
tho (inrmaa officers wore still on tables
end lamps wewre still burning in the
houses. ,
During this morning nil tho scenes
of the open warfare of other days were
visible. French and American artillery

In the early days of Salem about the
time there was some talk of building a
bridge across the Willamette river, the
people had their troubles somewhat dif
ferent from nowadays. In January of
1880 a remonstrance signed by 293 tax
payers was presented to tho city coun
cil in which the citizens objected most
strenuously to the ordinance prohibit
ing cows running at largo in tho city.
At a meeting of the city council held
June 16, 1886, it was ordered "that the
Old Fashioned Methodists be allowed
the use of Marion square provided no
horses or carriages be taken within
the enclosure." At the Bame meeting
an ordinance was passed allownvng cer
tain parties to build a wharf at the
foot of Trade street, with the string
to it that the council could terminate
the privilege by giving reasonable no
tice.

as next of kin. Lawrence F. McKee,
20, gave his mother, Mrs. Stella McKee,
of Porrydale, Ore., as next of kin. All
four of tho young men will enter the
seaman branch. For a man without a
special trade, this branch of the ser
vice offers the best of opportunities as
he is later assigned to that service to
which ho is best .adapted. J. E. Adams
in charge of the local navy recruiting
station at the postoffice will explain
the navy sorviee to thoso interested.
Thursday afternoon 105 men will en
train from Salem for Camp Lewis. The
number of registrants from this dis
