"Hello, George; Hello Bill-there he
is-my dear old boy" and even more
tender greetings were heard at the
Southern Pacific depot this morning as
members of Company NJ jumped from
the train looking around eagerly for
friends and relatives.
1t was bronzed and hardened lot of
healthy looking soldiers that greeted
their friends and relatives when the
long delayed S. P. special pulled into
the depot at $3.50 this morning. There
was none of the pallor of the office
man nor of the student on the faces of
that bunch of soldier boys. Instead, it
was about the healthiest looking lot of
young men that ever got together in
Salem. Those who were thin and care
worn are now full faced and full of
vigor.
In fact. every member of the com
pany, with but one exception, has in
creased in weight from five to Is
pounds and the general appearance of
the boys was highly satisfactory to rela
tives as well as civilians.
After the first greetings, coming
down the station platform as conquering
heroes, attention was given to the $50
packages of good things to eat that
were stacked high on q truck in the
baggage room and it is needless to say
that the boys will be eating home cook
les and delicacies for several days.
Many of the packages were addressed
to the corporal and his squad.

Salem Rifle club in charge of Captain
Rosenberg, who with Chief Welch and
his deputies, aided in keeping the crowd
back while the near relatives had first
chance at the returning ones.
In referring to the general condition
of the boys Captain Gehlhar said: "We
are bringing the boys back absolutely

There never was lot of healthier sol
diers or men in better spirits. We are
grateful to the good men and women

Omitted Press staff correspondent
London, Sept 5.-The Germans are
being pushed steadily eastward in a
renewal of the allies great offensive
on the Somme, but in the Balkans the
Rumanian armies have been compelled
to give ground.
In a driving rain, the British ad-
vanced 1900 yards east of Guillemont
last night, capturing the whole system
of intricate German defenses at Falfe
mont and obtaining footing in Leuse
wood, General Haig reported this aft
ernoon. Bad weather impended the de-
velopment of the French offensive south
of the Somme but the French this aft
ernoon reported the repulse of all Ger
man counter attacks. The German war
office admitted the loss of the village of
Chilly to the French in yesterday 5
fighting. Russian detachments have
been in action for the first time in the
defense of the southeastern frontier of
Rumania. The Germans and Bulgarian
forces, however, continue to sweep on
into Rumania and have captured three
towns in the Dubruja region, including
Dobric.
The flat plain of the Duburja region
offering no natural obstacles to an
enemy advance has greatly facilitated
the German-B Bulgarian invasion. Unof-
ficial dispatches from Berlin today de-
clared that not only are the German and
Bulgar armies pressing their invasion
but that the Austrians have halted
both wings of the Rumanian army that
invaded Pennsylvania.
The Russians engaged in clearing
Austro. Germans from the wooded
heights north of the Hungarian frontier,
have captured more enemy positions in
the Carpathians, it was officially an
nounced at Petrograd today, besides
taking 4,5l4 more prisoners in Volhynia

OF GREAT BRITAIN
Revenue Bill Empowers Pres
j ident to Use Retaliatory
Measures
AMENDMENT PROVIDES
DENIAL OF Use OF MAILS

By J. p. YOder,

Omitted Press staff correspondent)
Washington, Sept. 5-With allied dip
lomats in Washington protesting
against retaliatory legislation already
enacted by congress to offset the British
blacklist, the senate today struck two
more blows. Amendments adopted to
the revenue bill are likely, some of
ficials believe, to result in official OBJ
iections taking the place of the private,
though positive protests against retalia-
tion which certain diplomats here have
voiced.
The first act today was passage of
Senator Thomas amendment to the
revenue bill empowering the president
TO retaliate against any belligtrent com
nerce ship that discriminates against
American shippers and exporters.
The second was adoption Of Senator
Phelan amendment to the same meas
ure refusing rights of the United States
mails or the facilities of any interstate
express company or of any wireless,
telegraph or cable company to the citi-
zens of beligerent countries which dis
criminate against Americans.
Both amendments explicitly empower
the president to take these steps "when-
ever during existence of war in which
the United States is not engaged, the
president shall be satisfied there is rea-
sonable ground to believe" belligerent
governments have denied all lawful
rights to all American citizens.
Violations of both proposed laws are
punishable by fines of $4,000 or two
years Imprisonment or both. Both ad-
mittedly are retaliatory measures
against Great Britain's blacklist and
seizure and detention of mails.
Thomas amendment was drawn with
the approval of the state department
and the president is empowered by its
terms to use "any part of the land and
naval forces he deems necessary" to up
hold it.

Great Battle on somme Front.

Paris, Sept. 5.--Field Marshal Won
Hindenburg has arrived on the western
front for the first time since the be-
ginning of the war and is urging his
commanders to a more stubborn defense
along the Somme, the Echo De Paris
stated today
The "old man of Mauzurian Lakes"
witnessed the retreat of the German
armies under smashing British and
French blows in Sunday and Mondays
fighting. 1t was the first great battle
in which the Teutons have been engaged
since Hindenburg was appointed chief
or the German general staff.
The whole Somme battle front has
suddenly burst into activity with fur
ious infantry fighting and some of the
most terrific she'll blastings since the
Anglo-French offensive began. The Ger
mans are fighting desperately but in
the past AS hours have been pushed
steadily eastward by impetuous French
attacks.
General Foch struck south of the
Somme yesterday while the main body
of Teuton reserves was preparing to re-
sist another great blow north of the
new drive equalled the gains made north
OF the river on the preceding day.
Soyecourt has been been captured by a
storming attack, and extending their
gains far to the south, the French oc-
cupied the village of Chilly. The out
skirts of three other villages were
seized and about three thousand prison
ers were taken.
While this great battle was going
on south of the Somme the Germans con
tinued their preparations for a counter
attack against positions captured by
the French and British in Sunday IS
fighting north of the river. The heav-
lest German blows are expected to fall
in the region Of Chaulnes where the
French gains imperilled German posi-
tions on d very wide front.
France 3 new 40 centimeter guns
played an important role in the new vic.
tories over the Germans, according to
dispatches from the front today.
The existence of these guns was kept
secret for many weeks 1t is believed
it will work more wonders in the clos
ing days of the war than did the Ger
man 42 centimeters that battered in the
Belgian forts.
Since the beginning of the allied Of
fensiye on July the French and Eng
lish have captured 80 villages which the
Germans had organized to the highest
defensive degree. They have taken
about Al 900 prisoners, $50 cannon and
several hundred machine guns.

Woman In the Case Permitted
to Leave---Body Will Be
Sent Home

New York, Sept. 5.-Satisfied that
Dwight p. Dlworth, well to do lawyer
of Montclair, N. j., was killed in low.
Sunday night by would-be blackmailers,
the police today are searching FOR two
men who shot him to death.
Miss Mary McNiff, who vas with
Dilworth when the two men suddenly
appeared from the brush ana ordered
him to throw up his hands, was permit
ted to go to Long Beach today. Mis- Me.
Milf had been eliminated insofar as
learning through her who was respon-
sible for the murder is concerned. The
plan to have her re-enact the incident
connected with the killing of her com
panion on the spot where Dilworth was
shot was abandoned today. Miss Me.
Niff told the police she would return to
New York to lend such aid as she could
at any time but the police have lttl
hope of her meager description of the
highwaymen aiding them to any great
extent
The police base their conclusion that
Dilworth was killed by blackmailers on
the description of the holdup men and
of the shooting given by Miss McNiff
and numerous complaints that have
come in revealing that the park has
apparently been infested with black
mailers of the type that attacked Dill
worth.
Upon receipt Of telegraphic instruc-
tions from Mrs. Dilworth the body Of
Dilworth was today turned over to the
Masons of Montclair, N. j. Prepare.
tions were made there for Masonic fu-
neral and the body will then be sent to
Mrs. Dilworth in Kansas.

Brotherhoods' Fight, Sees
$ This As Final Outcome
e
zEDICTS BIG CHANGE
5WITHIN NEXT TEN YEARS
|, sFirst Of Series Of Events
Leading to Government
Ownership
BY Carl D. Groat

Omitted Press staff correspondent
Washington, Sept. 5.-Government
ownership of railroads and other pub,
lie utilities is coming, in the opinion
of A. B. Garretson, leader of the big
four railroad brotherhoods fight for an
eight hour day. Avoidance of nation
al rail strike, throug strong government
tai interference, he believes, is only one
OF a series of steps toward such an end.
"Ten years hence he predicted,
"you will see mighty stride toward
government ownership and operation of
all railroads as well as other public and
quasi-public utilities. l believe in suca
a program after mature reflection. L
take this view-that there are deadly
dangers in goeernment ownership but
with the government engaged in reg
ulation-as it must-I feel that we
must choose the least dangerous. That
is government operation and ownership.
The sentiment in that direction has
grown steadily as bricklayer would
say; settlement of the strike is just
another course in the structure. y
Garretson explained that some roads
may face balance on the wrong side
OF tnelr DOCKS as result Ol SoNeiH'
ment regulation.
"Thcn,r he continued, "such lines
must look to the government for reim-
bursement. But the lines making a
profit should not be allowed to escape
while their weaker associates are put
under government control and assist
ance. Hence as | see it, government
operation and control of all railroads
must result.
Commenting on the Garetson inter.
view, one of the foremost experts of
the country said today:
ellis statement that this is one
course in the structure is mild, 1t ap'
pears to me that this law has about
built the whole structure for govern
ment ownership. 1t certainly has
brought such situation ten years near
or TO realization
