National Guard Not
Fit For Actual Service

Ell Paso, Texas, Aug. IS "After
three months hard training in mobiliza-

National Guard yet reasonably ready
and fit to march out to the defense of
their country if the need arises2"
To nearly fifty Officers of the reg
ular army this question has been put in
the past week. Included in the list of
officers questioned was one general, a
dozen colonels and majors and score
of captains and lieutenants. Some of
these have made close study of the
training of the militia.
From each officer came the answer
nNo."

to prepare the national guard for a
campaign in Mexico" said one high
military official.
''By that 1 mean it would take at
least six months of intensive training
to prepare the militia physically and
instill discipline so they could take
care of themselves in the field. You
cannot put a uniform on a man and a
gun in his hands and make him a good
soldier"
Another officer declared he would

guard against well trained soldiers

French Capture Fleury.

Paris, Aug. 1S.-By powerful attack
on the northeast front of Verdun last
night, the French completely recaptur-
ed the village of Fleury, driving the
Germans from that part of the village
which they still held, it was officially
announced today.
The Germans still retain few ruins
outside and east of the village near the
Chapitre forest. The French also ad-
vanced west of the town between Thiau-
month and Fleury, taking so prison
ers.
The French blow was struck ON the
17Sth day of the great battle for the
fortress city. 1t was preceded by ter
rifle bombardment and heavy curtain
fire that prevented the Germans from
bringing up reserves. Clinging des-
perately to the northeastern houses of
the town, the Germans vainly attempt
ed to stem the French advance with
machine guns. Violent combats occur
red in the streets of the ruined village
before the Germans withdrew.
On the Somme front, the Germans
last night made their first attempt to
recapture positions taken by the French
in Wednesdays advance around Maure-
pas. At the same time the Germans were
delivering heavy attacks against the
British around Pozieres, fighting broke
along the French front southeast of
Maurepas, where violent artillery fight
ing continued throughout yesterday.
The French not only repulsed the Ger
man attacks but made some prisoners.
No engagements of importance occur
red south of the Somme or elsewhere on
the French front. South of Bel
10y En- Santerre the French found
four machine guns in trench captured
in Wednesdays attack.

SALEM IS SENDING
GREEN PRUNES EAST
Fruit Union Ships 40 Cars
But Market Calls
For 400

Several days ago the Capital journal
announced that F. V. Martin of Boise,
Idaho, representing the Earl Fruit
company in the Northwest, was in the
market for Oregon green prunes for
shipment east and that he would pay
$3.50 cash per car of 1000 crates f. o. b.
Salem or any other shipping point in
this territory, the grower to have all
above that price for which the prunes
sold, less the 10 per cent commission.
Manager Paulus of the Salem Fruit
Union announces that he has sold 40
ears to Mr.. Martin on these terms and
it is probable that other dealers will
make similar sales since there is de-
mand for at least 400 cars of the
green fruit. This demand was created
largely by the total failure of the
Idaho crop by freezing, this crop hav-
ing always been transported to the
eastern markets green.
