LATEST WARBULLETLNS
London, Oct. 11. lighting was re
sumed this morning along the whole
front The allies carried on a terrific
bombardment which, was clearly aud
ible as far away as Amiens.
The American units fighting with
the British this morning faced a single
trench three or four yards wide guard
ed by heavy wire, behind Vaux and
Audigny. -
The present battle tyie from the
Searpe to the Jleuse river, covers be
tween 175 and 200 mile. All along this
front the enemy's front has been shat
tered by repeated British, French and
American and Italian attacks.

I Ice Boxes on-Wheels. I
Refrigerator cars for carrying meat are ice boxes
traveling on wheels.
Most people in America-would have' to go without
fresh meat, or would have to pay more for what they
could get, if it were not for these traveling ice boxes.
Gustavus F. Swift, the first Swift in the packing industry, saw
the need of these traveling ice boxes before others.
He asked the railroads to build them. The railroads refused.
They were equipped, and preferred to haul cattle rattier than
dressed beef.
So Gustavus F. Swift had to make the cars himself. The first
one was a box car rigged up to hold ice. Now there aro 7,000 Swift
refrigerator cars. Each one is as fine an ice box as 3'ou have
in your home. , x
Day,and night, fair weather and foul, through heat and cold,
these 7,000 cars go rolling up and down the country, keeping meat
just right on its way to you.
Thus another phase of Swift & Company'3 activities has grown
to meet a need no one else could or would supply, in a way that
matched Swift & Company ideas cf being useful. ,
,. -When you see one of these Swift & Company cars in a train,
or on a siding, you will be reminded of what is being dons for you
as the fruit of experience and a desire to serve.

Prune Situation Just a
Little More Encouraging
The life of the prune packer is not
a very liappy one, especially sifcice
there is such a demand by the grow
lers for their money while at the same
, time the packers have nothing but
promises or orders for shipping next
December or January. Everything has
foeen held ,up by the federal food ad
ministration that has been figuring
for . the .past four weeks how much
damage wag done. by rains in Califor-
As an example of conditions, the Dra
gej Fruit Co. received Sept. 25 a let
ter saying that an allotment would be
rushed through calling for the ship
ment of 1,000,000 pounds of Italians
and 320,000 pounds of Pctites and this
from an official. Today after waiting
more than three weeks for the orders
that was to be rushed, the Drager
Fruit Co. received an order not for
the 1,000,000 pounds of Italians but
for the 320,000 pound ordr of Pctites.
This looked at first encouraging, but
the order closed with instructions that
one half of the shipment was to be
made to a foreign, port in Dtceniber
and the othor half in January. An or
der good for two or three months in
the future does not relieve the present
situation.
A wire was received today by the
company to ship half a million pounds
of prunes in SO pound boxes to JSng
lnd, with the further information
that contracts and shipping instruc
tions would be mailed. It 'will be at
least ten days before those instruc
tions are received and of course the
order is held up until about Oct. 17.
A letter was received by Drager
from W. B. Ayer, state federal food
administrator, that the quartermast
er's department at Portland was in
structed to receive 10,000,000 pounds
J KEEP YOUR SHOSKEAT I
of prunos from the growers in the
northwest and that shipments could be
made at once. This seemed quite en
couraging until this morning by tele
phone it was learned that the quarter
master's department in Portland claims
it has no authority to receive any such
shipment.
Hence the life of the prune packer
is not a happy one.
May Be Necessary to Engage
Secretary For Red Cross
For the benefit of those who are
still in doubt ns to the next meeting
of members of tWiJJamette chapter,
American Red Cross, headquarters iij
oaiem nas issued a letter giving the

at 2 o'clock in the Commercial club au

The rocent action of tho nominat

new regulations received just a few
uayg ago provide that a board of di
rectors of the chanter be electd thn
annual meeting. The first duty of the
t it f .... .
ooara or directors will be to elect an
executive committee.
Hence the Bed Cross situation is
that on the afternoon of Oct. 23 tho
board of directors will be elected and
a soon as possible the executive com
mittee will be elected and it is this
executive committct that will be re
sponsible for the affairs of Willam
ett echaptcr for the coming year.
One of the first things that will re
quire the attention of the executive
committee is that of securing a secre
tary or manager for headquarter in
the U. 8. National bank building.
The work requires a competent ex
ecutive that will give full time every
day from 8:30 in the morning until 5
or 6 o'clock in the evening and be re
sponsible for all the busrncss of the
Red Cross which includes the handling
of 300O a month.
At the eipenso of their health and
also their household duties, many wo
men have patriotically given their time
to the Red Cross for the past 19 months
But these , women who have so effi
ciently handled the work cannot con

the same is true of the work of the

The police department of Salem was

wathcers and came into Salem, hiding
the car in a secluded place between
Marion and North Liberty street.
Officer J.. E. Wright found the car
about 1::30 o'clock this morning and
a short time later located the boys in
a rooming house at worth Commer

drive it to the police station where
they, were registered at 3:30 o'clock
this morning. A wire from Portland
instructed tho police officials here to
