No Anti-Aircrsft Guns, No AeropIanes

Thus far l have purposely avoided the
subject of aerial defence, for-well,
what is the use of discussing it? Our ma
sional bird lacks wings; our emblem should
be the penguin, not the eagle. Sufficeth
that to-day there is not a single anti-alr-
raft gun on the Zone, not an aeroplane,
hangar or an aviation field; and this de-
spite the fact that locks and spillways,
drydocks and coaling stations are easy tar
gets and that one hit by bomb might
drain the Canal of its water.
Americans in Panama gain little COM
fort from that bearded bromide, "our navy
is our strength" for they realize that the
navy cannot protect them and the home
folks. too. As matter of fact, no more
dangerous fallacy was ever uttered. Those
five words are poison; they have numbed
US with sense Of false security, have
parayzed preparedness and distorted our
defensive system until it is the laughing
stock of serious foreign students. The
Canal. in the opinion of our military men,
must stand or fall alone when the test
comes. To leave it in the least degree de-
pendent upon the help of our ships weak
ems the navy's efficiency and imperils the
integrity of both.
We have stationed submarines at both
ends of the waterway, but 1t behooves US
not to place too great faith in the value
Of these craft In the light of their past
exploits American submarines appear TO
be distinguished above those Of foreign
powers mainly by their ability to cripple
themselves. We have at this writing, per-
haps the most efficient feet of self-destrOy-
ing undersea boats in the world, and the
damage they infict seems proportioned
only to the use they get. But we are
promised new and larger ones and we put
faith in those promises.
At present our submarines. use the Canal
itself as a base. Some fifty miles off shore,
in the Gulf Of Panama, is a cluster Of
islands. the Pearl Islands, which would
afford an admirable submarine base. and
greatly increase the effectiveness of their
Pacific operations, but thus far we have
not protited by the advantages those ISL
ands afford.

Foreign Espionage at the Canal

am prepared to hear that if affairs are
so bad as have pictured it is not the part
of patriotism to publish them. | answer,
if this is news to you, it is not news to for
eign military powers. They know the
truth in far greater detail than | do. We,
as a people, are brave, with the valor of
ignorance; we doze in malarial apathy
while others are awake and planning for
the future
It is a matter of common knowledge, al
though our officers will say little about 1t,
that. for a long time, a widespread and
efficient system of German espionage has
been in operation on the Zone. At the out
break of the European war several German
ships were informed in Colon harbor. They
lie close under the guns of Fort Sheridan,
and | am told that more than once mem
bers of their crews, equipped with sur
veying instruments and mapping tools,
have been bodily evicted from the reserva-
ton. They have studied the Canal, they
have tramped the jungle and explored the
coasts and waterways. They are doing so
row, unless already they know all there is
10 know, which is quite probable.
1t is the part of every military power to
provide itself with accurate information,
but in view of Germany's past activities in
the Caribbean and her coming necessity
for commercial rehabilitation these activi-
ties are significant. No, in pointing out
our weakness betray no military secrets.

dent Dies in West

Medford (Ore.) Mail Tribune: Mrs.
Randilla Goodale, wife of Henry w.
GOodale, died suddenly at her home,
corner of Tenth and Grange stdeets, at
1870 O'Clock Friday morning following
an illness of many months with dropsy.
Although it was known for long time
that she could not live, yet her death
at this time was totally unexpected. In
fact her condition the past week or sc.
had apparently so greatly improved
that her many friends had begun to
entertain hopes of her ultimate recoy-
cry.
Mrs. Goodale had just finished eat
ing her breakfast when without any
previous warning she collapsed and
fell into her husbands arms. Fun
teral arrangements will be announced
later. The burial will be in the l..
Q. O. F. cemetery of this city. Mrs.
Goodale was a member of the Meth
odist church and Of the auxiliary of
the United Workmen fraternity order.
Mrs. Goodale was "a years and 81
days old She was native of Can
nan, Maine, and came to Medford in
1908 from Valley City, North Da-
kota, with her husband and children.
Besides her husband she leaves three
children, who are Milo Goodale of
Renter, Wash, Frank Goodale Of Fort
Hall, Idaho, and Mrs Ina Wilson Of
Rogue River, Ore.

MINER REScUEs COMRADES
FROM BURNING MINE SHAFT

Virginia, Mimi, Aug 3O.-Frank
Mattson today became a self-made
nero when he was lowered down a
burning shaft on the Lincoln mine
and without mask and single handed
rescued two of his fellow miners, Os-
car Pakkala and Joe Reinsche, who
had been overcome by the smoke.
Mattscn found the victims near the
flames and carried both of them to
the surface. All three were revived
by a pulmotor. Mattson's record will
go down in the history of mining in
dustry as the greatest hero of the Me-
saba range. r4s
The fire broke out in the exits Of
the Lincoln mine and had trapped
eco miners. All escaped but the two
rescued by Mattson. The mine has
now been successfully blocked and
closed. and as water cannot be OBJ.
tanned the operators plan to smother
the flames in the timber workings.

Bread Will Now Be
Cheaper as Result

-r-- ,s - s-g e g. U.s.
Washington, Aug. 31.-A reduction
In the price of bread is in sight today
as the result of the fixing of 1920 as
the price per bushel of the 1917 whea,
crop. The license system for -four
and bread dealers soon will be nut
into effect, and although not extend
ing to the small dealers, the food ad-
mlnlstrator is expected to find a way
to hold down bread prices.
Members agreed that the price of
$3.50 at Chicago will permit of IA.
ounce loaf of bread for SC, allowing a
fair profit to both the -four manufac.
turer and the baker.
The wheat price was announced by
President Wilson last night, after a
committee headed by Dr. Harry Gar.
held, completed its three days delib.
erations.

Navy Recruit Sends
Interesting Letter

DR.. E. A. Pray of this city received
the following letter from John Wallace
White who is in the Great Lakes naval
training station:
Naval Training Station, Great Lakes,
ILL.,, Aug. 28., Co. 9 Detention
Camp.
Dear Doctor: called on you the
day left for camp, but you were out
of town so had to leave without say
ing goodbye.
We, about S6 of US, left Minneapolis
about 4:30 p. m. Thursday, Aug, %,
and were taken to St. Paul and given
q banquet at the Minnesota club. Be.
lieve me, it was fine. After the ban
quet we marched through the streets
to the station, accompanied by a fine
band and ladies Of the st. Paul Red
Cross society. We were also each pre-
scented with comfort kit, containing
plenty of buttons, needles, thread,
soap, tooth brushes and paste, and a
good many others useful articles. I'm
willing to say that we We're mighty
well treated in ST. Paul.
Our trip from ST. Paul to the train
ing station was uneventful and we ar.
rived at Detention Camp Friday morn
ing, and will stay here Fl days until
we are all vaccinated and "shot in the
arm" three times Our company were
all vaccinated and got the first "shot''
last Saturday. Pm all ready for the
second shot now and think the one
vaccination will do for me.
81 Se
We rise at 5; retire at and between
drill, and dish and clothes washing,
are kept rather too busy for any mis-
chief
Our detention here is said to be
the most disagreeable part of all our
training so I'm confident that I'm 60
ing to like it very WELL In fact like
it even now.
It's nearly a week since we've been
here and have seen only one woman
in that length of time. It's apt to be
considerably longer until I see an
other.
Our Sundays are we'll taken ND with
Bible study and church services. The
Y. NJ. G. A. is certainly a fine thing
for us and. we certainly take advantage
of it.
No word from home yet but I'm hop
ing I'll get about half bushel of it
this week.
The bugler will soon give us the call
to turn in so l must close.
t With by very best regards to yol.

Royal Russians Fiji Gaps
Made Through Desertiion

y ~ i u ~
While the Russians west Of FOX.
shanti again have deserted their posts,
thereby permitting the Teutonic allies
to make further gains in the regions
Of Ocna and Kezdi-Vasarhely, they
have repulsed strong attacks. Between
Ireshti and Fokshanti majority Of
the men comprising two Russian regi-
ments deserted their trenches and fed,
but the Russian commanders have TAX
g nsteps to restore the line by filling
the gap with loyal men.
Fresh Distractions
Following the reports of fresh dis
affection among the Russians on the
east Bukowina front which came prior
to the beginning of the retrograde
movement in southern Moldavia, Prem.
Ter Kerensky, in a speech at the clos.
ing session of the Moscow conference,
let it be known again that order was

ting to death the towards who threw
down their arms in the face Of theen.
envy. The possibility that the rule Of
''blood and iron" already has begun
with the deserters before Fokshanti. Is
indicated in the latest Russian official
communication which says one Of the
cowardly regiments was dispersed"
AS is usual when the Germans see a
faltering among their foe, they have
thrown into the battle line in Moldavia
some of their tried attacking troops
who doubtless will press to the full the
advantage they have gained through
the cOwardice of the Russians.
italians Still Gain
On the Bainsizza plateau Of the Aus
trc-Italian theater, General CadOra is
giving the Austrians no rest, keeping
up his intensive attacks along the en-
tire front. New gains of considerable
importance in the general scheme Of
tho conlmander-in-chief's offensive
have been made at several points
where the ;Austrians have striven to
hold back the Italians or to recapture
lost positions they have been repuls,
ed. More than 500 new prisoners have
been taken by the Italians. 5
On the front in France and Belgium
no important engagements have taken
place, although artillery duels are be-
ing fought.

Bad Man Wasn't So
Much As He Thought

Frank Clark, regular !. W. W., who
had been intimidating people around

arrested and brought to Valley City by
Sheriff Kelly Monday morning. He was
the possessor of big automatic re-

coming along peaceably or in pieces he
chose the former condition. He was
arraigned before Judge Moe and asked
until Friday to get counsel. 1t is ex-
pected he will make an effort to get
some of the leaders of his organization
to conduct his defense. -.
