.WATS0N'S PAPER , HELD FROM MAIL
 FOR GOOD CAUSE
United States Judge Emory Speer Denounces Op-
 ponent of Draft.

Savannah, Ga, Sept. I.-Federal Judge Emory Speer, in a decision rendered at Lake Fairfield. N. C., has denied the injunction sought by the Jeffersonian Publishing company of Thomason, Ga, to compel the post master at Thomason to accept the Jeffersonian under the second-class mailing privilege Copies of the de- cision were received here today
 In his decision Judge Specr quotes frequently from copies of the .Jeffer- sonian to show that it's purpose is to "obstruct the recruiting or enlistment of men in the service of the United States" and concludes:
 ''There is, moreover, an additional consideration of the Weightlest char acter. which obliges the denial of such an injunction as is sought here. An appeal is made to an American court of equity to oblge the postal authorities of our country to con tribute it's mailing facilities for the furtherance and success of a propa- ganda against the nation as distinct as it is truculent and dangerous. Under the familiar rule in equity such an appeal is addressed largely to the discretion of the court. It is to be determined by the conscience of the chancellor and always with proper regard to the public welfare This imports the conntry's welfare. And a party seeking this extra ordinary remedy, under a rule equally familiar, must come into court with clean hands. Can enc be said to come with clean hands when the pol icy, methods and efforts he would maintain may cause his hands to be imbued in the blood of the demoral- ized and defeated armies of his coun- trymen? If, by such propaganda, American sodiers may be convinced that they are the victims of lawless and unconstitutional oppression, vain, indeed, will be the efforts to make their deeds rival the glowing traditions of our hero strain. On the contrary, the world will behold Americas degradation and shame. the disintegration under fire of our line of battle, the inglorious flight of our defenders, like the recent de- bacle of the Russian army, brought about by methods much the same, the ultimate conquest of our coun- try. the destruction of it's institutions and the perishing of popular govern ment on earth"

 Follow peace with all men, and holi ness, without which no man shall sec the Lord: Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any , root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled.- Heb. xii:14, 15.
 Q.-What are the results of envy and strife?
 A.-For where envying and strife is there is confusion and every evil work but the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peacaable, gentle, anc easy to be entreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.-James iii:16, IT, Q.-To what did God call all man.
 A.-God hath called us to peace.-I Cor. wills.
 Q.-Should every man be content and abide with God?
 A.-Let every man abide in the same calling wherein he was called. Art thou called being a servant? care not for it: but if thou mayest be free, use it rather. For he that is called in the Lord, being a servant. is the Lords freeman: likewise also he that is call ed being free, is Christ's servant. Ye are bought with price; be not ye theservants of men.

For whether we live, we live unto the Lord: and whether we die we die unto the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lords. So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God.-Rom. xiv:1. 5, 7. 8, 12.
 Q.-Should we be kindly affection ed one to aonther?

 Q.-Will this bring peace?
 A.-And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep vour hearts and minds through Jesus Christ.-Phil. iv:7.
 Q.-How is the fruit of righteous ness sown?

Washington, Oct. 22.-The American
people should not lull themselves into
a false sense of security over the lib.
ertv loan. They must subscribe heavi.
ly all week.
This warning was sounded today by
treasr-- officials. intent on putting
across the five billion dollar total by
next Saturday night, when the sub
'cription books close. So far only about
40 per cent of this total has been TAX
en-,
Failure to support the loan to the
utmost will give comfort to the enemy,
the treasury pointed out, especially in
view of Germany's success, after sew
eral years of drain on her men and re-
sources, in floating seventh loan Of
over $4,000, 100000.
Incidentally, the treasury emphasiz-
ed that its published figures on loan
sales to date have represented exactly
what the district reports show. There
has been no lowering of totals to spur
on workers, it was said. For that rea-
son the nation must not regard the loan
as success until the last dollar is in
on Saturday.
LlDeHty uuy, wednesday, HdtlOnhl
holiday, is expected to boost sales enor-
mously. At that time, noted men from
all walks of life will preach the loan
throughout the nation and everybody
will be asked to buy as much as pos
sible. Liberty fires will be lighted
Wednesday night.
Included in the list of liberty day
speakers will be William J. Bryan, Sec
retaries McAdoo, Baker and Redfield,
exPresident Taft, speaker Champ
Clark and Attorney General Gregory.
Many German American subscrip-
tions are noted and some of the TeutOn
American societies are assisting in
floating the loan.

The tragedy occurred at A O'Clock

WHIRLWIND CLOSE
OF LIBERTY BOND
CAMPAIGN At FRONT
&
Amount Subscribed by Sol
diers In France Will Show
Enormous Total
(By J. W. Pegler)

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
American Field Headquarters, Oct. %
just like "back home" this week is
going to see strenuous finish for the
American liberty loan campaign "over
here" in France.
Civilians in the states who don Il take
as many liberty bonds as possible will
probably feel pretty small and measly
when announcement is made of the
great total which America IS fighting
men, now making ready for the ply
sical conflict, have pledged to the fl
nancial battle.
Next to their war training, Ameri-
can soldiers today are inspired to their
hardest work in patriotic competition
for the liberty loan drive. Every branch
from doughboy to Y. M. c. A. worker,
is represented in the pledges already
obtained.
One reason for the tremendous success
of the Sammies liberty loan drive was
General Pershing's proclamation to his
soldiers. The vigorous phrases Of this
statement may be just as inspiring to
civilians at home. Here are a few Of
them
"The new liberty loan being floated
by the government in support of the
war should especially appeal at home
to those preparing and to those here to
fight.
fWe as soldiers come from a people
who have a privilege such as few gem
erations of men have-to battle for the
right of sacred principles Of humanity,
with no thought of gain, is an honor,
not a sacrifice.
"Today we are given the opportunity
to do more than fight. The safest in
vestment in the world is offered by
the home government for whose inter
ests we as soldiers are pledged. Let
every officer and man proudly come
forward and voluntarily proclaim to the
world his abiding faith in our cause,
our institutions and our armies and dem
onstrate to the people at home and our
enemies .abrOad the loyalty, patriotism
of the American soldiers.
Many Of Pershing 3 Sammies are max
ing monthly bond payments from their
pay checks, some retaining for them
selves only a few francs for spending
money.

Think HILL Interests
Are Back of Railway

Silverton, Or, Oct. 22.-Mr. Husson,
former chief engineer of the Great
Northern railroad; Mr.. Williamson, the
engineer engaged in running a survey
between here and Stayton, and several
business men of that city met with
the Commercial club and appealed for
aid in securing the right of way from
Silverton to connect with the right of
way between Stayton and the Pratum
road.
Who was back Of the proposed road
has been matter of speculation, but
it is understood now that the Hill sys-
tenn is back of the proposition, and it
is believed that they intend to take
over the Willamette Valley Southern
and extend the road from Mount Angel
to Bend by way of Silverton and Stay
ton.
A committee was appointed to work
in conjunction with the engineer to Sc
cure the right of way required.

Fully Thirty Per Cent Of Re-
cent Losses Of Ypres Comes
from 1917 Classes
ONE THIRD OF THESE BOYS
SLAUGHTERED in BATTLE
British and French Make
Another Onslaught On
Hindenburg Lines
By william Philip sim,rs

With the British Armies in the Field
Oct. i2.-About thirty per cent of
Hindenburg s cannon fodder in the re-
cent Yprcs sector fighting, nearly one
third of those whose mangied bodies
carpeted the ground in the British ad-
vance, or were included in the constant
stream of prisoners, were of the 1917
class Of youths.
Nothing could illustrate Germany'a q
waning manpower more forcibly than
this crowding of mere boys into the
front ranks.
Headquarters figures today showed
that of the German total draft of 1917
approximately one half had been made
up of what was really the 1918 class.
Thousands of these German boys
have been sacrificed in the terrible
British artillery fire. One letter founI
in the pocket Of just such beardlcss
boy soldier declared:
"Of my company Of 140 men all
have been lost except lS-and the
same ratio applies to my whole regi-
ment."
One boyish German diarist entered

A captured battalion commandeFss
report, exhibited today at headquar-

heavy artillery batteries shelled the
German lines for twenty minutes and
that two companies had tclephoned
they were leaving their positions.
There is yet another evidence of des
peration of the German high command
over this drain on its manpower. That
is the constant withdrawal of troops
from the Russian front for duty here
on the west. For months the Germans
have been shunting troops from the
eastern war theater. Now they arc
bringing guns from that section to boil
ster up their batteries. Captured docu-
ments show that many of the pieces
smashed in the great Flanders drive
have thus been replaced.

DESTROY
SEVEN BIG A|RSRIPS
ONHONEWARD FLIGHT
This Coup ROuses Storm Of
Criticism Over English
Aircraft Strategy

London, Oct. 22.-France' coup in
destroying or crippling at least seven
out of the eight zeppelins with which
it is generally believed the Germans
made their raid over London, gave pow
erful impetus today to demand for I'M
mediate assumption Of an aerial often
sive by England. Many newspapers were
unsparing in their criticism of the gov
ernment s failure to start the reprisal
program, which was announced more
than three weeks ago. There were indi-
cations today that this criticism would
center within the next few days in a
powerful drive for action through pars
lament Some pointed questions will
undoubtedly sbe hurled at the govern
ment leaders.
6 What the average LondonerS cannot
understand is why the French should be
so extraordinarily successful in bring
ing down German aircraft while the sup
posedly perfect defense system here fa1l-
ed. The incident served to create the
most intense irritation in many quarters
today because it developed belief that
the government was not bending every
energy toward protection of the people
at home. ~
One criticism heard today was that
intense rivalry between the r. N. A.
S. (naval aviation servfce) and the R.
f. O., (army aviation service) was in
furious and that the announced air min
istry IS first task should be toward OBJ
tanning cooperation rather than compe-
tition between tn Sc two branches.
Paris dispatches today indicate that
the French bag was of Zeppelins of an
entirely new type-the dirigibles which
for months have been secretly tested
out over Lake Constance. Official state
ments accounted for the destruction or
capture Of four of these. Two Others
were officially announced as passing a
point in Southern France "out of con
trol". A seventh disembarked its
and sped away toward Switzer-
land. Of the last three, private dis
patches mentioned one downed near
another destroyed be-
tween Gap and Sisteron (apparently the
two which the official statement declar-
ed were seen out of controD and third
ost and probably destroyed in the Alps.
One of the French captures was the
Lag, one of the raiding squadron, which
surrendered in the skies and landed, abb
,olutely unharmed with its crew of
thirty men.
