Oregon was first informed that an Orcgou officer commanded tie American regiment that did much to break up Jhe German ad vance towards Paris at Chateau Thierry when it read a mail story from Webb Miller, released for UuiteVPies3 papers Sunday morning. Colonel MacAlexander, now a briga dier general, commanded the regiment which .has now become known .as the "rock of the Marne". He was for eiilit years commandant at Corvallis, Ore., and his Oregon friends are legion. Miller's siory told how MacAlevxan der, afler arranging his Hues of Cefense, went dow on the river bank himself and took pet shots at the Germans with a rifle. This incident wa9 typical of the spirit o f .he little colonel, his friends say. . . .Miiler describes how this regiment, fresh from the training camps, stood off nttack after attack by two German "shock" divisions in throe days and nights for terrific figting. The Frenth high com in a lid has cited the regiment for the regimental croix de guerre, as it was brigaded with the French. MacAlexauder'g general orders to his officers and men read: "The colonel commanding the regi ineutjWishes to praise you for the heroic manner in which you took your bap tism of fire on July 15, 1918, upo the banks of the Morne. Noi regiment in the history f one nation has over shown a finer spirit or performed greater deeds. Let Us cherish within our hear s the memory of our fallen comrades.

These bridges enabled our guns to push along close behind the advancing in fantry and they afforded effective as sistance at short range. "During (ho evening, at certain points where' parties of the enemy still were restating, local operations cleared them out. A counter attack dircc.ed at Homeric was beaten off with heavy losses, "North of Dennin our advanced ele ment, continue o press forward, main taining contact with the enemy.

It was indicated today that the treasury will begin .ju encourage strong ly the purchase of treasury certificates in indebtedness of individuals for use in payment of war taxes next June. Most o fthn certificates aro of ninety duys maturity but certificates of long er maturity are to bo issued so the government will have advantage of the next year's revenues at an early date Officials believe also that anticipation of the taxes by those who will .have lioavv taxes to pny also will stave off the hardship the gTeat revenue taxes work on individuals. The fourth ioen has exceeded in per eenttige and amounts jhe greatest loan floated by Great Britain. The British victory loan of 1917 had 8,000,000 sub scribers to tho $5,000,000,000 loau. An interesting comparison with the pre vious loau is afforded in tho official estimate of individual subscriptions to the fuirth loan. Although the draft called hundreds of thousands of poten tial subscribers into the military ser vice, each loan has shown an increase in tho number of individual subscrib ers. j Individual sales in the first lean wore 4,500,001); second, 9,600,000 and third 18.300,000 11 Continued from page one) "The German government suggests to the president that, opportunity be brought, about for fixing the details (of an armistice.) "The German government trusts that the president will approve of no demand which would be irreconciliable with tho honor of the German people and to tho opening of the way to xa peace of justice. "The German government protests against the reproach of illegal and in humane actions made against the Ger mi land and sea forces, and thereby against the German people. "For covering a retreat destructions will always be necessary, and Insofar as necessary they are permitted by in ternational 'law. "The German troops are node the strictest instructions to spare private property and to exercise care for the population to the best of their ability.

The consti tution did not provide for the concur rence of representatives of the people in decisions as to peaee and war. These conditions have just now undergone a fundamental change. ' 'A new government has been formed in accordance with the wishes of the representatives of the people based up on equal, universal, secret a.nd-( direct franchise. . "The leaders of the great parties of tre reichstag are members of this gov ernment. In future no government can take office or continue in office with out possessing the confidence of a ma jority of the reichstag. "The responsibility of the chancel lor of the empire to the representatives of th epeople is being legally developed aid safeguarded. "The first act of the new govern ment has been to lay before the reici stag biH to alter the constitution of the empire so that consent of the rep resentatives of the people is required for decisions as to war and peace. "The permanence of the new system of government is however guaranteed not only by constitutional safeguards but also by unshakable, determination of the German people,- whose vast ma jority stand behind these reforms and demands' their energetic continuance. "The question ;of the president as to with whom he, and the governments as sociated against Germany ore dealing, therefore, is answered in a clear, un equivocal manner by Ithc statement that the effort of peace and an armis tice comes from a government (free of!) any arbitrary or irresponsible in fluence is supported by the approval oi an. overwhelming majority of the German people.
