manded American Regi
ment Oa'Marne.
Portland, Ore., Oct. 21. 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. Haliite them; tlieu forward!

In nino days of continuous fighting
the regiment took prisoners from 21 (lif
erent Uennnii regiments, It 'refused to
retreat and finally pursued the Ger
man across tho Maine.
soon as the line of jhe river hnd been
secured a number of bridges were rap
idly constructed under heavy fire from
hostile aitillery and machine guns.
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,

tures. 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

"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.
"Where transgressions occur in spite
of these instructions, the guilty are be
ing punished. 4
"The Gorman government further
denies that the German navy in sink
ing ships ever purposely destroyed
lifeboats with passengers.
A' The German government proposes,
in regard to all these charges that the
facts be cleared up by neutral commis
sions. "In order to avoid anything that
might hamper the work of peace, the
government has just caused ordera to
be dispatched to all submarine com
manders precluding the torpedoing of
passenger ships, without, however, for
technical reasons, being able to guaran-

that hitherto the representatives of the
people of the German empire have not
been endowed with influence on the
formation of a government. 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. '
