The chief hardsliips they said, whs the long wait ful- th turn iu events. Noi.v of them had heard from n son, father or brother in the I'Vench army since the out break of the war. Not one of them hud any idea what hail lu'como of their iu-n folks. Kirst news of America's jiurtieijintton In the war, they declined, was a belit tling article in the Gazette De Arden nes, two months ago. Final eonfvssion of America 'g strength was received from a German, soldier who copied the official figures which wore sent to his officer. The soldier told nil his fellows, with tU unuuing result that they were much cheered. Most of them said it meant an earlier jieueo. The fact that the refugees are now safe in friendly' hands is due largely to their own courage- when the Ger mans rushe,! uboiit a week ago spread ing the news that the liritish were com iug and ordering nil to l (reared to leave. These villagers hid iu cellars and let the remainder of the town's 300 t'rench jieojde dejiart. "Twice bifo.v, once last fall and onev more than a your ago, we heard that the Knglisli were coming and packo, our baggage ready to leave," iiiid a pretty little old Indy, "This time w- said 'why should wo ruuf The Kuglish artf our friends,' so we stayed iu cellar,, while British shells fell. Then one day it was qriet for a while. l'lpKontly we heard gumw one in the street. We jieejied out and it was the Cuimdinns. ''They were surprised when wxi rush d out, kissing and hugging them, tho they didn't teem to mind when Miguon. ette, Marie an,) some of the young ones did it," and sho indieatvd two pretty, blushing girls standing by. The prettl'sit girl of the village was the solo victim of four years fighting. She was lying, smiling contentedly on a eot at a French Bed Cross station, re covering from a slight shell wound te cvtved in a bombardment. -11 i Stone - gggSgSSgg; VViHp ANDfclfc'w WildeJSSESSEIi NEXT TUESDAY THREE DAYS Twice Daily, 2:30-8:15 Plus War Tax ; Y.

All board mem bers are urged to be present, as (dans will be made for tin.' fall classes, and new phases of the association work will be discussed. Miss Martha Whealdon of Portland will be a guest of the Haleni association during part of the coming week. Miss Wheuhlou has been general secretary of the Y. W. C.

The Journal Job Department will print yon anything in the stationery line do it right and save you real money. Mave ! i So He Brands Recommenda tions Of Stale Consolida tion Commission. That the recommendations of the state l ouvjiidation commission relative to the el'fice of state treasurer are mads pure ly for political purposes, auj not for ef ficiency or economy, is the declaration made ''.v State Treasurer Kay iu his re ply to the query from the commission as to what he thought of the leeon.meu dntiou. He says he is opposed to the recom mendation that the proiiosed state finan ce commission should ajijmint the state! depositories. ! The state treasurer is responsible for! the state funds which come in his jios-1 session, and is under heavy Imn, t0 the j state for same," points out Mr. Kay. "The depositories which hold these! funds, therefore, should be ie-po!:sib!c only to the state treasurer. "There could be nothing added to the) office, either in the way of efficiency j or economy in providing for the stu'.vi finance commission or the state board I naming (hese depositories, and. the only! reason I can imagine the commission has! in making this recommendation is to I divide the litlle j; stige which may j come to the office of state treasurer v illi the other members of the board, I and it is, therefore, purely political. " I!v points out that the commission re-! commends that the state land board, which is charged with the loaning of' millions of dollars of school funds, be' abolished and the duties be transferred to the state treasurer. ! "If the state te. usurer is capable of doing this he is surely capable of ap poiining flie depositories-in the .itatC' which hold such funds,'' says Mr. Kay.; The commission ieconiineuds that the collection of inheritance jnxes Lv trans.! f erred from the office of state treasur-; er to the state tux commission. Mr. j Kay jioints out that the taxes are now j collected without any additional cost,, n3 he does not take advantage of thej iuw which 'allows a percentage of tl.c taxes colleckd to be .n.vd to defray the1 expenses of the work, but insten, ti.kes ear,, of the work out of the regular ap-i propriulion for his department. "There can I: no good reason, from an economical standpoint, for making tuU transfer," he says. "I am of "the opinion, there fore, that the treasury department is the proper Jilnce to collect; inheritancv taxes, and that the only rea son for transferring same would be to build up another department, and that' without adding any efficiency or eco nomy to state affairs," i H also savs the ntule Inn,! board should not be .abolished, as proposvd by the commission, because it is of to great importuuee. He agrees with the commission's re commendation that the office of sniK'-r i weights uud measures should be transferred to some other office. PERSHING COMMANDS (Continued from page one) information from General March today. These ises are all listed on medical records as light and not worrisome. General I'crshing'has been asked to for ward them by courier and hereafter the war department will give full in formation about all casualties. Here before Pershing has had permission to withhold the minor casualties. The theory behind this was that publication of them would tend to. create unwar ranted anxiety. Adding these 20,000 casualties to those published to date, the total Am erican casualties have reached 4(1,9,10,' a great' H reentage of which were suf fered during the great American smash at. tho Mttrno. It hns been found that relative.? of soldiers were sometimes advised a man was wounded when the war depart ment itself hud no information there of. In many cases, March pointed out the judgment of the soldier would dif fer considerably' from tuat of the doc tor who listed the man's ease as dan gerous. Every man out of action, no mutter how slightly he is wounded or how briefly he is out of commission, is listed as a casualty. General March expressed the view today, however, that the nation would fate with determination and courage whatever casualty lists might apjienr. For this reason he will have the wounded lists from medical records sent by courier twice a week from General Pershing and complete infor mation will be available to relatives Pershing has been instructed to for ward by cable only dead and mis.-ing. Good news revealed by March today included the following: Our forces, pressing on, reached the Vesle Aisno ridge ou a ten-mile front last night. t'lf 27th division, Xew York national guardsmen is now on tho line in Danders; the 112nd nation al army division is now in tho line in the Vo.-ges. Three new American divisions making fifteen in all since July have been ordered organised at Camps Sher man, Wadsw-orth and Cody. They will be numbered respectively the 5th, Ptith and 97th. Over 90 per cent of the American forces now in France are in the Ame icsn sector un der United States command (senators this morning said they were informed the exact jiercontage was 93). St. Quen tin is only eight miles distant from the allied advance and the Ilindenburg line is only ten miles away at its further point. The German retirement the .past week covered a line 100 miles long from the Arras-Oambrai sector almost to Kheims. The Hun it now sixty miles distant from Paris, compared to 40 miles in July. Responding to specific inquiries. March stated that the 33rd infantry of the 83 division is not on the line; the 104th infantry (Massachusetts) is not being brought back, to this country; the 8!th division has been in the line Our New Fall Furniture is Arriving Almost Daily and we now arc showing the very latest.

AMERICANS ARE Continued from pngo one) across the terrain between the Aisne ami tl.v Vesle, along which the Ameii cun advance elements are pushing the foe. German observation balloons have now been pulled back four miles be yond the Aisne and thvir artillery fir ing, despite its increased intensity, conies from a greater distance back. Kvports from the French and Ameii can right (toward Rheinis) say that all Prussians have been cleared from south of the Vesle, in that immediate region. (The front on the American right turns at right angles from the Aisr.v and slope,, sharply southward across the jilateau down the Vesle.) The aerial observing squadron was cited by the American corps coinmandet for brilliant work in the present obser vations. The observation jilanes .were frequently attacked by German fight ing planes. Lieutenant Bagby of Mis souri shot down one boche when at tacked by eight, and eluded tho others; Ivutenant Wagner was attacked by three Germans, but escaped. On every trip over the enemy lines the observ ers were tvt ujion, but they continued the struggle in order to keep headquar ters sujiplied with the necessary infor mation. In addition to harassing Ameri can observers, the Hu flk'rs shot down two allied balloons. Prisoners taken so far are all from divisions which have been facing Peishings troops for BOine time, including the Fourth division of the Prussian guard. Prisoners declaim the combat strength of their companies had hven reduced to fifty rifles and six machine guns. Ee jdacements are being from the younger vlemeuts of the draft. A.s I stood on the heights over the Vesle and the Aisne, everything sight gave evidence of Increasing German resistance. Constant lines of smoke marked the jiafhs of shells breaking on the jilateau fending up vast columns of black vapors from high exjilosives, while shrapivl above made strings of puffy white balls in the sky. Towns which a month ago were centers of mil itary activity are now deserted by the fighters and civilians are returning to them.

DEATH OF ARCHIE GIBBENS. Mr. and Mrs. G. W. Gibbena received word of the critical condition of their son, Archie, at Camp Fremont, last Thur sday and left that night with Miss Grac Oglesby of Portland for California. Their son had been ceriously ill with pneumonia and the crisis was exjiected Saturday. Ho died Monday morning. He had been called on the draft on Aug ust 5. and sent to Camp Fremont. Mr. an, Mrs. Gibbone and Miss Oglesby re turned yesterday morning m.u bouf arrived on the night train. The funeral will be held this Thursday afternoon. Services will be held in the Christian church at 2 p.m. Archie Ray Gibbons was born at Woodburn, June 2, 1893, and lived in this vicinity all of his life. He was a fine boy and very patriotic. He was turned down here by the physical ex aminer, but persisted and went to Salem for another examination. He was ac- ' IP ctpted there and his desire to servo hi country was granted. Before dvath ho said, "If I die I want to die as a soldier of the Uiiik'd States." ludependenr. Home Service League Appreciated By Soldiers "I cannot thank you enough for tak isg an interest in my family at this time. If relieves my mind to known that my family and parents are being looked after." This is one of tho many letters of ap preciation that are being received at the Homo Service section of the Red Cross, with offices adjoining the Com nierciul club. The letter is from a soldier well known in Salem. He really was not aware of the many jirovisions ho was entitled to make for his family and his mother. In fact, his family did not know of exactly their lights and jirivi letics at th time he went 'into the ser vice. A few months ago sickness came into the family and it was suggested to them that the Home Service section might be of service. The mother did not know she was entitled to an allow ance and no allotment had been made to her, nor did she know that the govern ment would help hoi' during the scrvieo period of her son. The homo Service section at onco took up th-e proposition with tho War Department and now mother is receiving a monthly allowance. It is this case, as well as dozens of others, where through neglect or not knowing what the gov ernment allows, that many families and parents of soldiers and sailors are not receiving an allowance from the gov ernment. The law has been changed several times. But the big thing now for the families' and Barents nf men in I the service is to know just what tho government will do for them. Aiifj this work is the service of thv Home Sciviee Seetion of the Red Cross. It is all vol untary work, no charges whatever being, made and above all, the work of the Home Service section is vntirely confi dential.

W. Robinson, chairman of the traffic com mittee at Portland. The commission has repeatedly had the matter up with the railroad commission. The commission i urging that th main line railroads be required to ab sorb most of the cost of shipping th ore over the feeder line, in order to give the Prairie City mines a chance to reach the markets on a parity with other wes tern districts.
