third line trenches, inflicted devastat-
ing losses on the defending Teutons
and so definitely established the
French forces that hurried German
counter-attacks could not dislodge
them from the ground gained.
London was thrilled today with the
actual start of the greatest Of Often
sives-the forward thrust for which
every man. woman and child In the
British empire has been working and
sacrificing for for the last six months.
At least 100000 OF Frances and
England's best troops are probably
fighting along the gigantic front.
More guns than the world has even
known before in one operation are
belching forth death over this stretch
OF ITO miles.
It was along the famous Aisne line
that the French made their greatest
advances in the first blow struck BY
General Nievelle. II was here that
the Germans stood firm after the re-
treat following the Marne battle.
The point OF Nievelle's wedge was
pushed into the German line at a
point about midway between Scissors
and Rheims. with another smashing
blow struck coincidently around
Berry-au-Bac, where the German
lines turns and twists around
Rheims. Ten thousand prisoners
and quantity Of supplies captured,
attest the irrestible force OF these
two great blows.
Meantime the British forces have
not stopped the force OF their own
drive Like a skilled boxer, General
Haig was mixing" his blows today
on the entire British front OF 50-odd
miles. Battle front dispatches in

chronous attack Of both great armies

almost in his grasp; smashed again
nearer Cambrai. he pushed forward

GETTING PROMPT ACTION

What united action can do in plac-
ing sentiment right II II once goes
astray along wrong lines is proved by
the results that attended the protest
made by local people to the reported
action Of the Portland Chamber OF
Commerce in supporting a referen-
dunn OF the Rogue river fishing bill.
When the news came that the Port
sor for the referendum move, the
land organization appeared as spon-
local Chamber OF Commerce set the
machinery OF protest in motion, and
not only the Portland Chamber, but
every business house in Portland got
the southern Oregon view forthwith.
Local business houses sent copies of
prepared letter to their Portland
wholesalers, and the reception ac-
corded is told in the following, which
is sample Of the letters received by
the local houses in reply:

DIR. REDDY REPLIES TO
JOSEPHINE COUNTY COURT

Editor Courier: II Is not my de-
sire to get into an undignlfied con-
troversy with the county court. I
would give their communication no
attention whatever II 1t were not a
direct personal attack. I realize as
fully as anyone that persons holding
public Office are subject to a full
quota Of criticism, just and unjust.
As a citizen Of Josephine county,
claim the privilege Of disagreeing
with or criticising any county official
or his official acts.
II has ever been the inherent right
OF American citizens to freely crti-
else all public officials from presi-
dent OF the United States down to
the city dog catcher. This custom
Is still In vogue and there is no EVIL
dence OF It becoming obsolete. The
fact that a man holds county Office
does not take away from the average
citizen the right to critlcise or dis
agree with the said public servant.
man big enough to hold public
Job should also be big enough to
gracefully accept honest criticism
without questioning the motives OF
It and launching into personal at
tack against the man who expresses
his convictions.
Oft-times public officials take them

Regarding the statement that |

county officials have denied such
statements. have, In the presence
Of several witnesses. interviewed Mr.,

Statistics on the largest number of

inability to score yesterday was the
splendid pitching OF George Dauss. a
twirler who was knocked out Of the
