Hun Lines In Cambria Area

to the north in strength. North of
Jaffa British patrols have been driv-
en- back to the southern side of the
Nahr-el-Aujel.
The French communication issued
Tuesday follows;
Active artillery fighting Is under
way north of the Aisne, between FL
lain and Pinon. -
In Champagne one of our detach-
ments Monday night penetrated Ger
man trenches north of Prunay. After
having explored the positions, de-
stroyed shelters and captured mateli-
ais, our men returned to their own
lines without losses. Tuesday morn
ing we made a successful raid west
of Tahure.
"On the right bank Of the Meuse
(Verdun 'front.' we carried out with
success Monday night an operation
in detail north of Hill 344. On the
left bank of the river a patrol action
near Bethincourt enabled us to take
prisoners, including an officer.
I'm Lorraine. northeast Of Nomay,
we made a raid and brought back
prisoners.
Possibly in a supreme endeavor to
break the Italian line before the Brit
ish and French reinforcements enter
the fray, the Austro-Germans, COM
prising an entire division, have at
tackled the Italians in the Benta val
ley; on the northern sector of the
Italian front.
The offensive was stopped by the
Italian artillery and infantry, the en-
emy suffering heavy losses. Four
additional attacks between the
Brenta and Piave rivers also we're
put down with severe casualties and
everywhere the Italians held their
original line.
Inside Russia the unsettled condi-
tion of affairs seems to be growing
more serious All communication
has been severed between north and
south Russia, even the foreign en-
bassies in Petrograd being unable to
get in touch with Odessa and other
points to the south. Unofficial ad-
vices ar to the effect that the Rus
sian northern army is in dire straits
for food, having had no bread for
several days.

Enlarge Gold
Hill Water System

The Grants Pass-Gold Hill irrigat-
ing project, taking water from the
south side of Rogue river above Gold
Hill, will probably be enlarged ac-
cording to plans of the city of Gold
Hill, says the Medford Sun. Since
the board of directors of the two
combined districts seek to adopt the
dam plan at the intake of the canal,
and the final survey by the engineers
in charge covers the Mcclure dam
site and ditch owned by the city OF
Gold Hill, which controls water to
develop 500 horsepower, the city will
take steps to develop their holdings
in conjunction with the irrigation
people. The city voted $500 bonds
several years ago to equip this water
right and rebuild the present water
system owned by the city.
The district below Cold Hill, on
the north side of the river, have petit
toned to be taken into the Gold Hill
irrigation district by having the wa
ter siphoned across the river from the
canal, This will give the Sleepy Hol-
low and the Del Rio orchards a grav-
ity system, displacing the present
-ssstly system of pumping from the
river.

Dr.. Fosters Great
Lecture Is Free

with Our Allies On the Western
Front" is DR.. Fosters own title for
the talk he is to give in Ashland at
the Elks' Temple this coming Friday
evening. Despite his duties as presi-
dent Of Reed College, DR.. Foster has
found time to deliver fifty free lee
lures along these lines since his re-
turn from Europe month ago.
In a late letter. written by DR.. Fos-
ter to Mr.. Whited, the chairman Of
our local Red Cross, he says: my
desire is that the meeting should be
open to the public, that there should
be no admission charge or collection
taken, and that l may reach as many
of the thinking people of Ashland as
possible" On the basis of his recent
tour of inspection along the battle
fronts, DR.. Foster founds his belief
that: "The way to save the money
and men of all nations now at war is
to bring the total available resources
Of the United States to bear against
the enemy of mankind Germany as
speedily as possible"
The opinion and the first-hand evi-
dence of an eyewitness of such rec
ognized ability, who has had such
exceptional opportunities for investi-
cation, is certainly worth hearing and
needing.

Effort to Retain
Factory In Valley

Southern Oregon is awakening to
the fact that they are in danger of
losing one of the important industries
of the Rogue River valley-the sugar
beet factory at Grants Pass. Accord
ing to reports, only about one-half
the necessary supply of beets was Sc
cured this season, and the managers
of the Grants Pass sugar factory are
said to be discouraged and are seri
ously considering the advisability Of
removing the plant to another loca-
tion.
A party representing the Portland
Chamber of Commerce and the Med
ford Commercial Club visited the
Grants Pass sugar factory Tuesday
with view to assist the Grants Pass
Chamber of Commerce in making
fight to have the sugar plant retained
in the valley. After several letters
to the company had brought the reply
that the directorate had instructed
the management to move the factory,
word was sent to the Portland Cham
ber of Commerce to bestir themselves
in the interests of the Rogue River
valley.
In reply to letter from the latter
organization the directorate said that
this factory would absolutely be
moved to Washington, but that If
Oregon was interested in the sugar
beet industry it might help the Med
ford district make good on the pro-
posal which had been made there
some time ago by the Utah-Idaho
company. This may mean another
factory farther down the valley,
should the people support 1t suffi-
ciently to make the project worth
while.

the Church of God, Seventh Day,
which has its national headquarters
and publishing house at Stanbury.
Mo-, and the purchase of this prop
erty is intended for the general con-
ference of that church. This people
recently organized a congregation
here, which is the only one in Cali
fornia and Oregon, and the purchase
of this property marks the first
church building owned by that de-
nomination in the west.
This change does not make any diff
ference in the place or time of meet
ings of the Brethren people. The
building will be used for both congre-
cations. The Church Of God will hold
regular preaching services the last
Sabbath Saturday of each month at
IL and 2 o'clock. Sabbath school at

The British have made another ad-
vance in the Cambrai area, and, ac-
cording to the latest reports, have
worked their way forward through
the northwestern part of Fontaine
Notre Dame, which they captured at
the beginning of the attack last
week, but subsequently lost They
are now said to have advanced almost
to the main street which runs east
and west through the center of the
village.
The British troops continue to
bore their way forward through the
Hindenburg support line west of
Moeuvres. There was vigorous fight
ing at close quarters in this region,
and as result the British Monday
were in possession of a further sec
tion of support trenches 1000 yards
long running east and west just south
Of Pronville and Inchy-en-Artois
The British advance in the last few
days had made this section of the
line virtually untenable, and the Ger
mans we're forced to withdraw when
pressed by new attack.
Fighting was renewed Monday be-
tween Hourion wood and Cambria
about Fontaine Notre Dame, where
the Germans were still installed and
continued to work machine guns from
roofs and windows. West Of here, at
Bourbon wood and Bourbon village,
the situation remained much as 1t
was Monday night after the Germans
forced the British out of most of the
village in a fierce counter attack
which involved still more furious
hand-to-hand fighting through the
streets.
German artillery, however, has
been active in the Ypres and Verdun
regions. In Flanders, the British po-
sition at Passchendaele, the northern
part of the Passchendaele-Gh -Gheluvelt
ridge, is being bombarded heavily by
the enemy, but Crown Prince Rup.
precht of Bavaria has not attempted
infantry attacks.
British cavalry is now three and
one-half miles west of Jerusalem and
is closing in on the Turkish defenses
from the southwest. The Turks are
offering some resistance and are
holding the Jerusalem-Shecham road

Home Guard Banquet
In Armory Monday

Mayor Lamkin, the city council,
Prof. Irving E. Vining, H. A. Canady,
president, first lieutenant and first
sergeant of the Medford National
Rifle Association were guests Of the
Home Guard at their "get-together"
meeting Monday evening A profit
able as we'll as enjoyable time was
participated in.
After repast of oyster soup,
pumpkin pie and coffee was done
Justice to. Capt. o. E. Deibert, acting
as toastmaster, introduced Professor
Vining. who responded with an elo-
uuent and thought-producing address
upon the vital subject, True Patriot
ism a Necessary Asset in Winning the
War" The central thought was the
fyreat need of individual cooperation
with the government, even at extreme
personal sacrifice in the production
OF. munitions to back up the boys In
the trenches. He vividly pictured
German intrigue in this country and
the great service the Home Guard
can render the government in mould
ing public sentiment.
After Captain Deibert captured
all that he couldn't kill,"/he intro
duced Hon. H. A. Canady, who told
of the workings of the National Rifle
Association and ended with stirring
ratriotic appeal for all to stand solid
" behind the government in the war
He emphasized that the command
"Oyer the top" was for the man IN
business or on the farm as much as
the man in the trench.
The feed" was preceded by an
hour of basket and indoor baseball
after which four squads lined up for
drill. A good showing was made
taking into consideration the newness
of the organization and the irregular
ity of the members in attendance.
Every man went home better man
a,a a stronger patriot, and with the
understanding that he must not only
do his "bit," but the utmost to pre-
serve the principles for which our
flag stands.

High School Girls
Give Up Trinkets

An unusual spirit of self-sacrifice
and patriotism has been evidenced by
group of high school girls of Klam-
ath Falls who constitute what is
known in the high school as the Eula-
Iona Tribe. This organization had
arranged to purchase emblems for
the society and had raised fund of
$40 for the purpose. Stirred by the
appeal of the Y. NJ. c. A. workers for
the boys in the trenches, the girls de-
cided to turn over the fund to the
Y. NJ. G. A.
