No Peace Excebt
Through Victory
Noz0 the Slogan

Paris. wednesday. Aug 2s.-The
peace with victory sentiment has
absolutely crushed" all effort to
promote an international Socialist
conference, at Berne, said A. M, ST.
mons chairman of the American So
cialist mission to Europe, to The
Associated Press today on his ar
rival in Paris, from Italy.
The working classes" he added,
seems to be satisfied that a nlili-
tary victory is the only victory pos
sible, that a conference with the
German socialists would be OF no
avail and that peace through nego-
tiation lis an impossibility. The le-
suits Of the recent offensive have
stiffened immensely the morale Of
the working groups. making them
determined to carry on the war un-
tia decisive victory. Even the rad
ical groups have changed their Mt
titude about peace by negotiation
and now are a unit in demanding
the crushing of the German military
party"

Germans endeavored to check the
French pursuit.
The rapidly succeeding military
events not only confirm that the
Germans have lost all control Of
their operations in the regions of the
Somme, Avre and Disc rivers, bnt
they indicate that the euemy's own
retreat is getting out of hand.
The effort to steTn the French
pursuit by fighting rear guard acc
tions with machine CUR. sections,
leaving q large section at intervals
of about 400 yards. was only local
ly successful. On ground especially
favorable for that sort Of resistance
such as the Terrain around Roye,
it gained some time for tine enemy,
enabling him to move a great many
guns and a considerable part OF his
material behind the Canal du NoTd
and north of Noyon.
But once this system OF fighting
was mastered, the strength OF the
German rear guard dwindled TO al
most nothing. Tda Germans hus-
tied violently by the French advance
guard, were Obliged to risk an en-
with important forces or
to quicken their retreat.
The Germans adopted the latter
plan and since yesterday morning
they have been making all possible
haste on the road leading to ST
Quentin, LIE Fere and the Hindens
burg line.
The strong position of Quesn0y
wood, Just west of the Canal du
Nord, from which the Germans tri-
ed by means of the heavy fire OF all
calibers Of artillery to check the
French troops advancing on both

With the American Army in the
Vesle, Wednesday, Aug. 2S.-- Amer
lean and German troops were en~
gagged in spirited actions today in
the region of Bazoches and Fismette.
According to the latest reports the
lighting continues at both points.
Tonight. as a result of the local ae-
tions the Americans had made
some gains at Bazochessa while the
Germans had recaptSced F1sn2ette
on the north bank of the Vesle oppo
site Fismes. The fighting has been
marked by much stubbornnsss.
Several days ago when the Amer
leans advanced in the region OF
Bazoches the Germans retired into
a wooded stronghold, known as
Haute Maison, just south Of the
EoGssons- Rheims road. Small de-
tachments were left in the cellars
in Bazoches to harrass the Amer1-
cans. Tuesday the Americans ap-
preached Bazoches from the west
and maintained their advance dur
ing the night. Today the Americans

taking the eastern outskirts this
morning. Since then the Americans
have made further progress.
Fismette had been held by the
Americans since Aug. s, despite Ger
man efforts to dislodge them at
various times in local attacks and
by means Of artillery and machine
gun bombardments. To gain this
bridgehead the Americans crossed, !
the Vesle in fierce fighting. For
Chree days ana ulgnLS 2ILer the en-

the constant enemy artillery and

The Germans maintained their po- |
sition in hills commanding the viii
lage and only during the night were
the Americans able to communicate
with the southern bank. The Amer
leans erected temporary bridges
across the river at night time.

RUSSIAN RAILROADS
TO Be REORGAN|zED

Moscow. Mar. 27.--The council OF
commissioners has issued decree
making the commissioner OF railroad
absolute dictator OF transportation.
The council has asked the United
States for the services OF John +.

aid in the reorganization.
The new dictator viii be responsI-
BILE only to the council and Is fully
authorized to dictate tho policy for
the reorganization OF the railroads
and transportation regardless OF the
plans Of the local soviets.
This is a concentration OF power
over transportation far greater than
any ofYicial has been entrusted with
since the first revolution.
n In addition to being authorized Ia
employ troops to enforce his orders
the dictator may have all persons
who hinder operations tried by mill.

In justification Of such stringent
action the decree says that extra.

swer was a cheerful agreement.
"Yes, they can have verdun II
they'll pay the price,"
How far are you going to let
them go?"
To the gates OF Paris. II they'll
pay the price," was the unperturbed
rejoinder.
Colonel Leader indicated a similar
situation at one point in the present
offensive OF the Cambria sa-
lient, where the British defenders
are all but cut OF, but are not retir-
ing.
"One thing is very, very marked,
said Colonel Leader. We've left
two divisions in the Cambria salient
with orders to fight to the end.
Though they numbered probably not
more than $4,000, and are being at
tackled by 100000 Germans, they are
fighting yet. We expected them to
fall in about six hours, a reasonable
length OF time. but they are still
holding out. Their object is to make
the Germans pay the maximum price
in lives for that bit Of ground.
"The German losses must bc stag
geringly great, almost beyond con-
ception," asserted Colonel Leader,
probably at least 100000 men a
day. In that enormous mass forma-
tion with which they advanced the
slaughter must have been more ap.
palllng than. any ever seen. They
have been advancing against the fire
of 10000 machine guns and the
rifles Of 100000 men.
THE Germans say they have taken
600 Of our guns. ] can well believe
It, but these must have been for the
most part dismounted by artillery
fire. We've had 10000 guns firing

ment which require more light.
II the tax rate hao not advanced,
is 1t because economy has resulted
in a saving Of public money. or rath-
er is 1t not the result OF the influx
of outside money coming into the
treasury which has caused the ap-
parent drop in the tax rate.
There was levied for all purposes
in 1916 for Josephine county $275,-
$50 which was estimated as sum-
cient to run the public institutions
including the city Of Grants Pass.
Presumably this was collected. or at
least the usual amount was.
But we find that the county was
helped out in an unexpected manner
by the payment into the treasury on
November 5, 1917, Of the large sum
i'm cash OF ;10s,32o paid by the 0.
& c. railroad company, or practic-
ally one half the amount estimated
by the court as sufficient to meet the
public charges.
This money coming as 1t did
through the tax department would
be ordinary funds applicable to gen.
eral expenses. This should have
been used to tighten the buroens oi
the next levy Of 1917, yet we find
the next levy for all purposes was
$297,712 or approximately $25,67S
more than the preceding year. That
our county Judge can explain these
matters SO that the people can see
how this large sum OF money has
been applied, or will be applied to
the incoming tax levy, leave to
him the task IL he considers the mat.
ter not too frivolous to engage his
attention.
The subject OF the monthly pay OF
a water master for Josephine county
is also of some Importance to the
tax paying public, and farmers will
have to be showed" that water
master has performed any public
duties in Josephine county for the
year 1917 after the irrigating sea-
son closed, yet he drew pay up to
and including December. But per-
haps the state commission controls
payment of our funds in this mat
ter the same as the state board die
tated the appointment Of superin-
tendent Of construction Of roads for
Josephine county. Some people think
we are competent to manage our
own affairs without advise from state

The Germans claim 10 have taxi

figure Is probably light You must
remember. too. that In an action OF
this magnitude there IL little time to

the number OF Germans captured,
but I feel sure from the extent OF
operations that We must have taken

And they are bringing up their

Think OF the mark they make. with

Colonel Leader expressed implicit
confidence In the ability OF the Brit
ish TO deal with the situation. which
he repeatedly asserted to be shaping
according to their desires His only
regret was that the Germans had no,
yet forced the second salient Into the
British lines. and his only fear was
that the offensive would be "fed up
