Enemy Losses Heavy

Despite the fact the English, Scotch,'
Ver Zealand, French and American
troops participating in tho advance i
aava escaped with light losses.
Among the hundreds of German
'dead, wherever the Americans rushed
'forward, an unusual proportion were
found with only a single clear bullet
'wound, bearing out admirably reports
f the remarkable use the Yanks made
'f their rifles against the bocho ma
chine gunners.
The youngsters were not too busy
shooting to take prisoners, however, as
is shown by the fact that 1050 men
and 50 officers were in the American
cage before noon and more were corn
ing back.
Old People Rescued
They also took time to assist 32 old
Wn aud women and some children .to
'scape from Mont Brehain to the rear.

The Australians captured the town
three times before it stayed captured.
In the meantime the citizens remained
In their cellars four days and nights.
When some Americans passed through
'on their way to join comrades up in
Ifront, they asked to be sent back.
This was promptly done.
These French people made no com
"plaints of German cruelty. A French
tefficer, experienced in handling refu

Work: of the Tanks
Tho tanks had ono of the most .suc
cessful days yesterday in their compar
atively brief military career. They,
went forward in long zig zagging lines,
crushing machine gun nests and meet
ing with only a minimum of disasters.

"When I left," said Cannon Do

wero running every way, ducking into
sagebrush holes. They didn't want to
fight."

A German officer in the prisoners

when asked why his soldiers ran, sigh
ed und said: .
Soldiers - Feel ' War Over '
"Gorman officers have a hard time
now. The men won't fight. The kais
er ' order of the day, telling us ho
wants peace, was read by the meitwhen
we received it day before yesterday.
It hasn't helped any. Tho war is over,
o far as'we are concerned."
Another officer said he didn't sup
pose the allies would agree to peace
now.- Asked why he thought that, he
iepliod that he "didn't know, just
Jelt sure." '
A third officer was greatly interest
ied in the pc2ee proposal and wanted
ll the details. He said the democratiz
ing of GCTinany'already is nnder way,

to dismiss the kaiser.
It was agrcat day in the air, not

State House Notes
A. Klose, president of the Columbia
Brick Works, which has a factory at
Hogan, IS miles' from Portland, com
plains to the public service commission
that the Portland Railway, Light &
Power company is putting his factory
out of busin?as by jumping the freight
rate on brick and tile.
He says tiat on January 1 the rate
was increased from two cents per 100
pounds on brick or tile shipped from
Hogan to East Portland to two and a
half eents, and that on September 16
it was increased further to three cants
per 100 pounds.
"We are informed that wood and
other commodities were not raided 15
per cent on January 1," he says. 'They
only picked out our factory and raised
us. This rah? of three cents per 100
pounds on our products is prohibitive
and practically puts us out of business
as we cannot compete with other yards
near Portland that pay no freight."
Wartlen Murphy of the state peniten
tiary received a report yesterday from
C. W. Courtney, superintendent of the
state liino plant at Gold Hill, that the
plant was running full blast, having
been started at noon Monday. The

Mellette Visits Cambrai
Entering Cambrai last night I saw
notices on tho walls ordering evacua
tion of the city at midnight Tuesday.
Tho inhabitants were permitted to re
move only what they could carry. All
importable things were left at the town
hall, under tho protection of the Ger
man authorities, though no liability
was assumed for their safety.
Investigation of the first 3 or 20
houses revealed Vin' all h"d been loot
ed completely. The cathedral, used as
observation post by the enemy, had
been badly shelled. The tower-appeared
ready to fall. The figure of the
Virgin atop tlio tower, however, was
undamaged. Twenty fires could be
seen along tho Btrect leading toward
the centerjiof the city. In somo of tho
burning houses the windows were still
unbroken, indicating tho destruction
was the result of deliberate arson and
not shells.
German Plans Upset
The taking of Cambrai badly upsot
tli o German plans for retirement. They
had been seeking to maintain a gradu
al withdrawal astride tho city, the
defenses of which had made it almost
tho strongest point anywhere in the
line. This explains yesterday's despcr
ato counter attack with captured Brit
ish tanks. It was broken up with anti
tank guns which the British had cap
tured from the Germans.-
Holding Cambrai, the Germans ex
pected to spend two weeks retiring to
ward Douai and an equal length of
time reaching the Guiz defense line
along the Oise.
Infantry is Unopposed
Because of this pivot's importance,
it was expected that tho enemy would
resist to their utmost on the lino of
towns and villages behind Cambrai.
While British cavalry was operat
ing well to the eastward of Bertr
(four miles west of LeCateau) infan
try marched through tho village in
column formation. It was one of the
most remarkable sights of the war and
has scarcely been duplicated since the
Germans first overran Belgium.

for Quality since we started in business. When we start
ed in business, we decided to carry only standard goods
and build our businss up on quality first and satisfaction
