MAkES I. r. MAJOR GENERAL
Authorizes Him to Raise Division or
Two for New York State Defense

Albany, \. Y, May 16.-At the con-
clusion of a two hours conference to-
day with Governor Whitman. Col.
Theodore Roosevelt announced that he
would accept the governors offer of
a major generals commission in the
state service if the federal army bill
were passed without the provision TO
permit him to go to Europe with an eX-
peditionary force.
Colonel Roosevelt said: Governor
Whitman has offered me the commits
sion of major general if the volunteer
plan for sending troops abroad is not
accepted in Washington. The commits
sion would authorize me 10 raise one
or more divisions in New York state,
but the members would not necessarily
come from this state"
No information was forthcoming as
to how major generalship in the state
service would entitle the former presi-
dent to raise division of volunteers
from other states.
Colonel Roosevelt expressed the o.
pinion, however that he would have no
difficulty in holding his recruits to one
division.

j. DESTR0YERS
CHASING SUBS
Secretary Daniels States That Fleet
Has Been Operating With
Allied Vessels Since
May 4.

Washington, May 16.-The navy
department tonight admi he'd that a
fleet of torpedo boat dostroyers I'M
der the command of Rear Admiral
Simms, is hunting down submarines
in European waters. Secretary of
the Navy Daniels gave out the fol-
lowing statement:
"Uni ed States Naval vessels have
been operating with allied naval
forces in European waters since May
4th. A number of destroyers sailed
from American ports in the latter
part OF April and all arrived at their
destinations without accident or de-
lay of any kind.
They were prepared for opera
tons when they arrived and went in
to service immediately
"rhe United States vessels are I'M
der command of Rear Admiral Vii
liam S. Simms, who went to England
and France several weeks ago to ar
range for cooperation between the
naval forces of the United States and
those of the other nations at war with
Germany. Plans formulated after
reports from Rear Admiral Simms.
made as result of his conferences
with the British and French admir-
alties, are now being effectuated
haC hnnn of
United States navy to give the larg-
est measure of assistance to the other
countries at war with Germany that
is consistent with full and comp etc
protection of our own coasts and
territorial waters. The navy depaIi-
ment has received no reports that en-
gagements have occurred between Unit
ed States vessels now in European
waters and the vessels of the enemy"
Late tonight. when asked whether
any of the American destroyers had
been in action, as it was rumored at
Norfolk, Va, several days ago in
wireless dispatches said to have come
from United States naval vessels. Sec
rotary Daniels declared that he did
not know.
They sailed three weeks ago and
no word has since been received.
Naval department officials were in
formed at mdnight that the British
admiralty had announced there had
been a battle between an American
DESTROYER and German submarine,
but said they had received no such
information.

A CHANGE OF SCHEDULE.

To the Public:
In compliance with the recommend
alton of the Special Committee on Ma
tional Defense, as follows:
Substitute, where possible, mixed
train service for separate passenger
and freight service, with view of
reducing the number of trains actual
" needed to accommodate the traffic;
and it appearing that for the present
at least, mixed freight and passenger
trains are amply sufficient to prompt
lv and fully carry out the above re-
commentator on the Memphis, Dallas
G Gulf Railroad, while not ma lerially
impairing it's service to its patrons
this company has decided to reduce the
number of it's trains by discontinulnS'
for time at least, the separate daily
passenger trains, except between Ash
down and Texarkana and except the
regular separate passenger trains on
Sundays.
It has been and is now, the policy
and ambition of the NJ. d. & G. man
agement to excel in service rendered
to it's patrons. However. we cannot
, move one-fifth of the freight offered
us for the want of cars fer loading
Our freight trains are plying the line
, each way with from two to three loads
when they should be hauling from ten
to fifteen loads and would be but for
the unparalleled car shortage. Again
due to the adverse war influence, and
the enforced necessity for rigid econ
omy by the entire South, we find our
passenger earnings somewhat below
normal.
This change of schedule enables
us to repair and rebuild our equip
ment and thereby be better prepared
to aid in the expeditions movement of
traffic which is sure to follow within
a few months. 1t will also enable us
to meet our pay rolls and pay our bills
promptly and avoid creating debts
which we cannot meet.
We feel sure that both the public
and our employees will sympathize
With and help us during this lean per-
! iod, which We trust will be of short
duration.

BULLECOURT IS
AGAIN TAKEN
Fourteen Days Hard Fighting Brought
Victory-Carnage Awful
Germans May
Retreat,

London, May 17.-All of Builecourt,
the holly confessed village near the
southern end of the "Wotan line, fell
TO Abe Australians today. At the
same time the French, besides beat
ing off every German counter blow
and there were nearly dozen during
the last "A hours-pushed their lines
forward to the east of Craonne.
Furious as are the ever recurring
German counter thrusts, with their
disregard for human lives, the belief
is spreading among expert observers
here that these violent onslaughts are
merely a mask to conceal the begin
ming of new strategic retreat by
Hindenburg.
The sky behind the German line IS
crimson. Great fires are raging
around Lens and Laon, the two plv-
o IS of the "Hindenburg lines wings.
With the roar of cannon mingles the
steady thunder of explosions. The
same symptoms that preceded the re-
treat in the center are now observed
on the wings. On all sides the ques-
ton is asked Will he retreat
again.
Believe Hindenburg VIII Retreat.
Behind the Germans lines. it is
believed, the same work of destTuc-
ton is going on that in March re-
duced the beautiful landscape beyond
Picardy to a moclling memory for de-
cades to come. To vitiate completely
the efforts and preparations of his
fee. Hindenburg, relying upon the
submarine. is believed to have set the
axe of havoc to work again, leVeiinS
everything to the ground and then
reducing the ground to sWamps and
impossible, barren "nOthingness.
Some military critics see the new
German retreat from the Laon and
iRheimes sectors to the Metz-Sedan
line In the north. they believe he
will fall back on Lille, giving UP at
last the Lens coaling district.
Strategically the withdrawal on
the French front would be the most
important. Il would be on a front
from La Fere to the Argonne-some
eighty miles-or even further down
to Verdun, more than 100 miles as
the crow flies, to depth varying be-
tween 80 and 60 miles

Italians Restoring Lines On
Northern Front Lost Last Week

Not only are the Italian lines hold
ing in the Monte Asolone region, on
the northern front, where a threaten
ing salient was driven in them early
last week, but considerable progress
has been made toward restoring the
original position. This process, oe-
gun by the Italians on Thursday, was
continued on Friday, the Rome war
office reporting the recapture of fur
ther ground in the hotly disputed
area.
The Austro-German command evil
IDENTITY has in mind the expansion of
the Asolone wedge in a way further
10 imperil the entire Monte Crappa
position to the east-the Italian bull
wark against the intended drive into
the plains-and this possibility still
remains
The Italians, however, have mega
tived much of the enemy advance.
and even the German accounts of the
fighting concede that for the present
the aggressive is on the Italian side,
with the Asolone heights the object
i've of repeated attacks.
There has been no fighting of COL
sequence in any of the other war
areas, military activities being at a
low ebb everywhere else. Even the
artillery engagements along the
French front appear to have lessened
in intensity and there has been no
indication of a revival of the infan-
try activity in Upper Alsace, where a
German demonstration on Friday
gave the enemy temporary advan-
tage which was quickly wiped out by
the aggressive French reaction.
In Russia the strife for control is
assuming broader aspects. The ap-
parent solidification of the Ukraine
Cossack movement in southern Rus
sia seems to be giving the opposition
to the Bolsheviki a firmer hold on
that territory.
The Petrograd commissioners them
selves are considerably worried by
the spread of the separatist move
ment, which prospectively is cutting
huge slices off Russian territory. not

Kaufman Closes His
Ashland Engagement

Nat G, Kaufman, who has been
managing the closing out sale of the
Ashland Trading Company dry goods
and mems furnishing departments,
leaves for Portland tonight after one
of the most successful sales made in
Ashland. When he started on the
stock about two months ago the
stock invoiced nearly $4,000 and he
leaves it practically sold out. Tn
like most sales managers who start
out with flourish and fall down in
the midst of it, he follows up the
work until the stock is sold. His
methods are clean-cut and forceful
and he pushes his sales aggressively
until completed. Probably that is
the reason he has so many return en-
gagements to the same town from
different merchants who wish to
close out their stocks. He is one of
the best advertising writer's the Tld-
ings has come in contact with.

Second Semester
Starts January Il

The second semester of the public
schools will commence January 2l,
1918. 1t is important that all be-
ginning pupils start school on that
date. Those children who are six
years of age or will be six by March
Is. 1918, are entitled to enter school
on the above date.
Any child, for whatever reason,
that does not enter school at the be-
ginning of the term is not only him
self handicapped but is hindrancc
to the entire class. For this reason
the superintendent of schools espec-
tally urges all parents, having chill
dren for the beginning class, to make
preparation to start them at the be-
ginning of the term.
No new children will be received
after Monday, January 2S.

Baron Gold Mine
Closed for Winter

The Barron gold mine, located
about twelve miles east of Ashland
and owned and operated by Harvey
Sallee of Kennett, Cal, closed down
last Thursday. The mine started op-
erations last summer when Mr.. Sal
lee purchased it from the Barron
people and is the only mining prop
erty actively engaged in this vicin-
ity. The recent rains have. made
hauling ore practically impossible,
and the mine has shut down for the
balance of the winter.
In the spring operations will be re-
sumed on a much larger scale An
air compressor will be installed and
heavy machinery sunk to a depth of
500 feet, and large crew of work
men will be employed Power to op-
crate the mine will be derived from
the California-Oreg Power Com
pany, which will be brought there by
branch from the main line about
mile distant. During the past sum
mer five cars of ore were shipped
from the mine, which was hauled to
the spur at Mistletoe Junction.
