Pushing Back the Germans.

London, May 1S.-Field Marshal Sir
John French, in a message Monday in.
formed the British people that their
| troops again had assumed the often
siye after a fortnight spent in hurting
back the German attacks and had
| swept across and captured all Ger.
man trenches to the south of Richie
bourg-l'Avoue over a two mile front.
This is near La Basse.
This movement which resulted in
the capture of numerous prisoners,
many of whom surrendered in bodies,
is still under way and gives indica.
tion of being as important in the mat
ter of territory won as was the recent
French advance Elsewhere along the
western battle front a lull prevails.
The report of Field Marshal French
follows:
"The first army has gained further
successes south of ELECTROMAGNETIC
and all the German trenches on
front of two miles were captured.
Several bodies of Germans surren-
dered voluntarily to our troops. who
continue to fight with great gallantry
and determination One of these
bodies, while trying to surrender, was
caught by the German artillery fire
and practically annihilated.
THE exact number of prisoners has
not yet been ascertained, but $50 have
been cleared to the lines Of communi-
cation
"On the remainder of the front
there have been no incidents to re.
port"
In the east Vienna reports that sun
day passed without much activity. This
is considered in military circles here
as possibly indicating that the Rus
slams have reached a point where
they are able to re-establish their
line. The Austrians, however. assert
that their army is still advancing.
\ homeward-bound Zeppelin return
ing from raid on England, was at
tackled today as it reached the Bel
gian coast. The big gas bag is report
ed to have been damaged. but its
fate was not learned, as it drifted
away in the fog out of sight of the at /
tackers.
The strain of waiting for definite .
news of Italy's intentions with regard
to the war has been somewhat relieved
by the statement that nothing further
is to be done until Parliament meets
next Thursday Meantime, special
trains are reported to be in readiness
to take the German and Austrian am
oassadors out of the country.

THIRTY DAYS
FOR CONTEMPT

JUDGE FREEMAN GIVES HIM
THIRTY DAYS.

A few weeks ago Mrs. Yes Adams
was granted a divorce from her hus-
band upon the ground OF non-support
of herself and six children. At the
time the court ordered him to pay
five dollars a week toward maintain

he failed to do, and when the woman
complained to the Judge he had
Adams remanded to Jail for thirty
days, for contempt Of court.

judge, there would be fewer divorces
in this country. and more married men
doing their whole duty by their
wives and families. am tired of
such flimsy excuses as We are tired
of each other and want to separate
and there are going to be fewer de-
crees granted in the future unless
the case is mighty plain. l believe in
making them stand hitched and grad

taken and really want each other,
then there is some hope that home
will be established instead of

The present term has been encum-
bered with many cases of this char
acter and several more remain on the
docket for hearing.

There is great anticipation over the
coming of Governor Withycombe and
his party, expected to arrive on Fri
day, the 29th to participate in the
Exposition occasion honoring Oregon
on the goth. Elaborate preparations
for occasions worthy of a great state
have been made and for a week the
distinguished Oregonians, official rep
resentatives of the state, will be the
center Of great social activity. The
Exposition will be sponsor for much
of this, but the Oregon commission
will add to the festivities in splen-
did way 1t was expected that all of
the Commissioners would be here,
but it now appears that this will not
be possible in certain instances. The
week will be one of open house at
the Oregon building, and large events
at the Exposition at this time will
make it an especially desirable time
to see the exposition, which is to
close within month. Word received
here indicates that many will come
from Oregon to join in the festivities
incident to Oregon's final effort.

possibilities. And it should please
Oregon folk that some excellent work
has been done along that line. For
instance, not store was carrying
oregon evaporated fruit or logan
berry juice before the opening of the
Exposition. Today, thirty-fve stores
are carrying the loganberry Juice and
goodly number have taken up the
eVaporated fruits, particularly the
prunes, which are generally admitted
to be superior to the California pro-
duct in flavor If not in size and ap-
pearance. The Emporium, one Of
San Francisco's oldest and largest

mand for this supberb product and
several San Francisco merchants
have come to get taste of that which
their customers have been asking for.
The results are certain to be exactly
what TillamoOk producers desire.
Chief Freytag, of the Agricultural

inquiry for the names and addresses
OF Oregon growers of this, that or
the other, and that he has been asked
for quotations on seeds and products

get his goods into scores and scores
of big stores throughout the United
States. There is constant inquiry for
names and addresses of those who
grow the fruits and vegetables on
display, and nurseries, also, should
get considerable returns from the Ex-
position.

Oregon COttle Win.

Oregon milk and beef cattle made
a magnificent showing in the great
stock show still in progress. The
Swiss herd, brought down from In
man, of Junction City, had no COM
petition and landed everything. The
judges, however, were confident that
the Junction City animals would win
anywhere and against any sort of
competition.
The Harry West Jerseys, from
Scappoose, captured all but two of
the blue ribbons for this breed of
mixers. Among these was the cham
pion two-year-old bull. G.. G.. Hew-
lit and Frank Loughry, of Monmouth
contributed to the West group. The
Hereford animals brought down by
George Chandler, of Baker, captured
the big prize for that class, aud Mr.
Looney, of Jefferson, came in for sew
eral winnings, as did w. |. Domes, of
Polk county. The Porter Red Polled
animals won several first places. On

The Stock Show was not as large as
hoped for, but many fine animals
were on exhibition.

U. OF0. ATHLETIC STATUS
IS CHANGED BY,FACULTY
intercollegiate Basketball Suspended,
Training Camp Abolished, Varsity
Practice and Games Limited.

University of Oregon, Eugene, Oct
27.-State University athletics are
notably free from Objectionable
practices but some changes are nee
essary to increase their educational
value. This has been the finding of
the faculty investigating committee
of seven. The faculty has according
ly voted the following changes
Basketball is suspended at present
as an intercollegiate sport.
The preseason training camp for
football men is ordered discontinued
Practice for varsity football and
baseball teams is limited to from 4
to $50 o'clock p. m. during school
days.
intercollegiate football contests are
limited to seven in any one season.
intercollegiate baseball schedules
are restricted to teams west OF the
Cascades; provided that one or more
games may be played with the win
ner of the eastern Division to deter
mine northwest championship.
Official Representatives of the Uni
sity are forbidden to scout for ath-
letes. The committee found this
practice apparently at minimum
in the University of Oregon.
The University's representatives in
the northwest college conference
meetings shall hereafter be faculty
members.
Students who have not passed
three-fourths of the full work of the
University the previous semester are
barred from all student activities.
With the foregoing notifications
Intercollegiate sports are retained,
but as subordinate to intramural
athletics.
The faculty further recommended
to the northwest college conference
abolition of scouting and passage of a
rule that no one may represent his
institution in intercollegiate games
until he has been in attendance one
year.
The faculty also declared for the
building up of purely campus sports
80 that every student may be en-
couraged to take daily systematic ex-
ercise throughout his college course,
and it declared for the ultimate sub
ordination of gate receipts.
The committee believes the excess
sive publicity given athletics tends
to warp student judgment as to their
relative Importance in college
course.
The legislation goes into effect at
once.
