ARMY APPROPRIATION
BILL PASSED BY SENATE

Washington, July 27.--The senate
this afternoon passed without a
record vote the 312,0O0.00O army
appropriation bill.
With one exception the bill is the
largest military budget ever approved
in time OF peace by a nation. The
exception was Russia's appropriation
OF s390. 900 900 early in 1914.
Among novel features OF the bill
are enlarged appropriations for U. s..
military observers who are taking
lessons In war in the European
trenches and an appropriation for a
council OF national defense. This
latter is to consist OF six civilians
and six navy and army men. to CO.

the nation industrially for war,
The bill provides s13,2S1. 500 for
airships.

leges for the state militia.

GERMANS REPORT REPUIsE
OF BRITISH ATTACK

Berlin, July 27.--Repulse OF a
British accommodating attack south
west OF Warneton. near Richbourg,
and failure OF French assaults around
Barleux end F1eury, were reported
In the German ofiicial statement to-
day.
The war ONCE likewise reported
futile Russian attacks at bloody cost
around Schitzchara and west OF
Beresteczko.
"A British reconnoitering attack
southwest Of Warneton and near
Richbourg was repulsed.' the state
ment asserted.
"A French attack northeast OF Bar
leux failed and attacks against Cold
Height and Fieury were repulsed.
Between the Ancre and the Somme
there was intense artillery firing dur
ing the night.
Around Schitzchara Russian at
tacks proved futile. West OF Bere-
steczko the enemy was likewise san.
guinarily repulsed."

BRITISH TEST
SOON TO COME

London, July 27.--Within the next
few days the British advanced lines
must Withstand Germany's most pow
erful counter-attacks since the start
Of the allied offensive July 1. The
newly-won positions out Of Poxieres,
from which the Germans were forced
out. will be the point Of attack.
This was the opinion Of military
observers here today. They pointed
out that the Germans nave admitted
Ely transferred large reserve forces
to this salient from verdun. Knowl-
edge OF that fact made the British
success reported yesterday by Gen
eral Hsig all the more satisfactory,
but it likewise gave notice to mill
ltary experts here that the Germans.
feeling the menace in the British en-
circling movement from Posieres
westward and eastward from Hill
141, south Of Thiepval. would at
tempt its checking with every re-
source Of men and guns at their COM
mand.
In their positions at Pozieres the
British are only trife over six miles
from Bapaume. the immediate OBJ
jective of the British drive At one
point. at least. they have penetrated
the third line OF the German front.
IL they can press the intervening six
miles to Bapaume, a German retire
ment along a front OF 10 or 90 miles
is almost inevitable. From Pozieres
ON to Bapaume the country is fairly
fat, with none OF the ridges which
dot the territory just south OF Thiep-
val, except one knoll, known as Hill
.160. None OF the Official statements
shed any light on whether this posi-
ton, lying northwest OF Pozieres. Is
traversed by the two strong trenches
which Haig reported having been
stormed and captured.
Apparently there was lull in the
infantry attacks along the British
front today. Feverish activity in
throwing up entrenchments and con-
solidating their gains will be neces-
sary SO that the British can success
fully Withstand the German counter
attacks, and until this digging is ac-
complished it is not expected that
there will be another forward drive.

The annual Josephine county fair
Is now less than two months distant.
Already the selection of crop samples
for display and the conditioning OF

be under way II the fair is to have
. representative showing Of the pro-
duction of the district. Last year
the county and state fairs were some
what overshadowed by the greater
attraction at San Francisco. but this
year the energy and effort should be
directed toward the upbuilding Of
the county and state expositions. The
board OF directors Of the county fair
has provided most liberal premium

award should in no way infiushce the
exhibitor In deciding him to be rep

eral showing of the products Of the

the better. OF most absorbing in
terest will be the contests for honors
IN the sugar beet class. the sugar
company having offered special prizes
besides the awards by the fair board.
How the beets were grown. the soil
conditions, number OF irrigations and
use Of fertilizer. win be points that
the beet growers will be glad to learn
from their neighbors. and special at
tention should be given to the spread
ing OF information along this line.
with beet culture sure to assume the
leading place in local agriculture.
this feature should be one OF the
prominent ones Of the fair.

Business men of southern Ore

people Of Portland care very little for
the welfare of that part of the state,
and it is not surprising that they
are forming stronger commercial ties

cial reference to the small attend
ance from Portland at the three days
celebration at Ashland early in the
month to mark the formal opening
Of that city's Lithia park.
