Ashland tidings. [volume] (Ashland, Or.) 1876-1919, 1917-12-13

Two hundred and forty thousand
new Red Cross members for Oregon
100000 Red Cross members in
the United States. This is the goal
set for the nation wide membership
campaign to be conducted by the
American Red Cross from December
II to Christmas eve. Join the Red
Cross; all you need-a dollar and a
heart" is the new slogan for this
great drive. Ashland and her allies
the Talent and Phoenix districts,
must acquire, according to the plans
of this campaign, 1900 Red Cross
members before Christmas eve. Old
members are asked to re-enlist from
January on, thus beginning the year
in the right way Small enamel pins,
OSie in the form of tiny service flag
and the other the usual Red Cross
emblem, will be given to each new
member by the solicitors.
This effort to make the Red Cross
larger will direct its energies chiefly

Red Cross Membership Drive
Will Be Inaugurated Next Week

towards getting one-dollar members.
Mrs. E. D. Briggs is to be campaign
manager for Ashland and the drive
will include an individual and col
lective appeal to every home and
every person in this community, the
aim being to make Red Cross mem
bership as universal as citizenship.
The emblem of the campaign will
be a transparent window card, de-
signed as a service flag, with a large
red cross on white base as its cen
trail figure, and with smaller crosses
to be added for each member Of the
family who joins the Red Cross. The
idea is that on Christmas eve light
ed candle shall be placed behind
these transparencies, and that they
shall be displayed in the window of
every home entitled to show one
Here's hoping every home in Ash
land, Talent and Phoenix and the
sections in between will celebrate
Christmas this year by decorating a
window in this fashion.

Cavalry Units
Formed in Texas

A recent dispatch from Washing
ton states that a Lewiston of regular
cavalry, the first the American army
has had since civil war days, is being
formed at El Paso, Texas. The
project is part of the regular plan of
the department, it is understood, for
the tactical organization of the ex-
pended regular army.
There is no present intention of
employing mounted troops with Cen
eral PershiDg's forces; although the
general officer is reported to have
recommended the creation of from
three to five cavalry divisions. En-
ployment by General Byng, leader of
the recent British surprise attack, of
mounted troops. points the way to
the conclusion that 1t may be advis-
able later, when the transportation
situation is easier, to send over cav
airy in such numbers as the Ameri-
can staff may think wise. Should
the German line be broken by drive
in which American troops participat-
ed, it is not to be doubted that Gen
eral Pershing would need mounted
force to drive home his attack in the
open country beyond.

Campaign Opened
For Normal School

Ben c. Sheldon, representative
from Jackson county, through whose
influence the normal school bill was
placed on the ballot at the last legis-
lature, spoke at meeting held at
the city hall Wednesday evening in
behalf of two more normal schools
for Oregon.
The meeting was called by Fred
O. Homes, president of the Ashland
normal school alumni, for the pur-
pose Of getting representative body
together to discuss and arrange plans
to carry on an energetic campaign
for the normal school at the next fall
election. Representatives from the
various organizations in the city, in
Guiding the Commercial Club, Civic
Club, council, school board and Busi-
ness Mems Association, were in at
tendance. Mr.. Sheldon gave very
interesting talk reviewing the condi-
tions as they appeared to him, and
of what had been done, and stated
that vigorous effort must be made
II the people of southern Oregon and
eastern Oregon are to win the meas
ures that have been placed on the
ballot to be voted on Jointly next
November. In addition to the talk
given by Mr.. Sheldon, Mr.. Homes
called upon number Of those pres
ent for an opinion in regard to the
matter, and a feeling seemed unan-
imous to proceed to make vigorous
campaign. A motion was passed to
elect a normal committee. Fred c..
Homes was selected as chairman.
Four others were to be appointed by
him to act as an executive committee
and these were authorized to make
further arrangements in the near flu
ture to carry on this campaign.

Inducements in men and guns from

Snow is falling heavily in the
mountains along the northern Italian
front and optimism prevails among
the Italians that this will aid them
definitely in holding the Austro-Ger-
mans back from the Italian plain.
Amid the first flurries of the storm
on Tuesday the enemy renewed his
attack among the hills and was re-
warded by the capture of several po-
sitions. Later, however, the Italians
in a counter-attack regained their
lost terrain against which the artil-
lery duels we're resumed.

"A Mormon Maid"
At vining Tonight

"a Mormon Maid" starring Mae
Murray, will appear at the Vining to-
night and tomorrow night. The fol-
lowing criticism Of this gripping
drama is taken from Wid's:
Certainly this is stirring melo-
drama that conyinces and holds per-
fectly all the way, produced in an at
mosphere that is distinctive and de-
cidedly artistic.
This is one of the best six-reel of
ferings of many months, considered
purely from the viewpoint of dram
attic development, atmosphere and
stirring, convincing action, and it has
a great additional advantage in that
it is bold statement of alleged con-
ditions in the Mormon church in
years gone r..
Surely there is a lot of interest
everywhere in Mormonsm, for the
very good and sufficient reason that
it is subject which has rarely been
discussed.
Producer Leonard has worked the
thread of the Mormon attack theme
into a story of melodramatic action
so inelligently that this never i'm
presses as preachment, but rather
holds all the better because of the
strength of the underlying thought
standing back of the melodramatic
action. Rarely, if ever, have ] seen
a better combination of beautiful eX-
teriors, artistic as to composition and
delightful as to lighting, and thrill
ing daredevil riding such as we used
to get in the very best westerns"

TO Death Tuesday

best known and most highly respect
ed men OF Jackson county, lost his
life Tuesday evening in fire which
burned his house in Jacksonville to
the ground. The fire occurred at
about $3.50 in the evening and the

the flames coming from the windows,
and the house was broken into in an
effort to rescue Mr.. Neil, who resided
alone in the old Neil residence on
West Oregon street. The judges
bedroom was found empty and fur
ther search of the premises was
checked by the flames.
Later when the fire had died down
the body of the aged man was Sc
cured in the ruins. II was badly
burned, but recognizable, and 1t Is
thought death was due to suffoca.
ton. Frank Neil. the judges son
who lives in Derby, arrived on the
scene as soon as he was notified OF
the disaster, and ex-Mayor Robert
Neil of Ashland hurried to Jackson
Vile on learning of his brothers
death, and arrived shortly after the

CaHeleSSnesS Cause
Of Most Accidents

In striking contrast to the report
made by Julius Kruttschnitt, chair
man of the special committee on ac-
cident statistics, the fatalities and
accidents to those who ignore safety
first principles as practiced by the
roads.
Forty-nine per cent or almost half
of the total fatalities for the year
1916 were due to trespassing on
trains or on tracks, thing that is
forbidden by law in Europe under
heavy penalties.
One and seven-tenths of the total
number of fatalities were due to neg
ligence of passengers, and 21.4 per
cent to negligence of employees in fall
ing from or getting on or off trains
and in walking on track; only 5,6 per
cent were due to collisions and de-
railments of trains. Finally, 5.3 per
cent OF the fatalities occurred in
shops, at stations, ETC., and were in
nowise due to the operation of trains.
Collisions and derailments caused
9.9 per cent of the total injuries
Negligence of passengers and EN-
ployes, trespassers and others caused
90.1 per cent, while &C per cent of
the total was in nowise connected
with the operation of trains, but COW
cred accidents, mostly trivial, in
shops, around stations, etc.

Attack On German Defensive
Is Successfully Met by Haig

The Germans, following their
heavy artillery preparations of recent
days. have attempted to drive a
wedge into the British line west Of
Cambria, but although they used
numerically superior forces, their eff
fort brought them only a minor gain.
The attack, launched between
Bullecourt and Queant, was similar
to that adopted by Crown Prince
Rupprecht's troops when they pierced
General Byng's front southwest of
Cambria nearly two weeks ago and
caused a retirement of the British on
the salient General Byng previously
had driven toward Cambria. A like
purpose doubtless was involved in
the latest offensive, and for its exc
cution huge waves Of Bavarians were
thrown upon the sector in an en-
deavor to overpower the defenders.
The British, however, held tenacious
ly to their ground, except at one
point, where the enemy penetrated a
front line position.
AS in their previous attempt to
wreck the Cambria salient, the Ger
mans lost heavily in the enterprise,
the British moving them down with
machine gun and rifle fire in the
fighting, which lasted from dawn
until / O'Clock in the afternoon. The
spot chosen for the attack was SINH
lar from a strategic standpoint to
that near Gonnelien where the Of
fensive of fortnight ago began, and,
had it succeeded, another retirement
by the British on the Cambria sector
would have been necessary.
Notwithstanding their failure, the
Germans are keeping up an intensive
bombardment Of British and French
positions all along the western front
and daily are receiving additional re-
