the Ford garage, who is chief mechan-
Is on board 4 submarine chaser off
the Atlantic coast, has had the ex-
citing experience of meeting a Hun
U-boat and helping to fire shot that
is supposed to have sunk the raider.
In a letter to his father headed
Somewhere at Sea, August &c." Or
Vile enclosed clipping from Phil
adelphia paper giving the account Of
'he sinking of the Dorothy Barrett,
an American schooner, near Cape
May, N. j., which he states he saw go
down.
When the Dorothy Barrett was
struck by the German shell and sunk,
seaplanes and submarine chasers sent
10 the scene dropped depth bombs on
the spot where the submarine was be-
iieved to have submerged.
One of the planes flying low drop
red depth charge where bubbles,
presumably from the wake of the
submarine, were observed. The chas-
ers then closed in and let go several
bombs. There was no evidence of
Trcckage, but the submarine did not
ieappear.
The submarine chaser on which
Orville Hall was stationed was the
second to arrive at the scene of the
accident to drop dept hbombs.

The following extract from a let

of interest and encouragement to our

Salvation Army
Drive Next Month

Everett S. Hammond, who occu'
pies the chair of historical theology
Of the Kemble College of Theology
at Salem, was in Ashland Friday IN
the interests of the Salvation army
campaign which will be inaugurated
some time in the near future. Jack
son county's quota for this fund will
&c s11O0; Douglas county, S1100;
Josephine county, $40; and Klam-
ath county, $500.
The object of this fund is to in
stall and carry on the various war
rellefs of the Salvation army, both
at home and abroad, where Saliva
tion army huts are established and
maintained at the various canton
ments. In each war hut is a restau-
rant or canteen. where cooking
is done by the women of the Saliva
tion army of America, and delivered
TO the soldiers in the trenches. A
club room Is also in connection,
where the boys may find good cheer,
may welcome friends and enjoy
music and reading.
A Folks from Home" department
is another important feature of the
Salvation army hut, where mothers,
wives and sisters of the soldiers are
entertained, and in each war hut
short, bright religious meetings are
held. The attendance to these meet
ing is voluntary and all creeds and
nationalities are made welcome.

Gain Near Bapaume
And Fall Of City Is Imminent

miles Of the town, but later reports
showed that the Germans had rushed
new forces into the struggle.
II seems that the enemy has slow
ed up the British, If they have not
stopped them north and west of Ba-
paume. The Importance Of the town
from a tactical standpoint makes 1t
:he point Of attack in the area.
Farther south OF Gremans are
still clnglng to Mlraumont, on the
Ancre, in spite Of the fact that the
British on both flanks of the place
have swept far to the eastward. Just
below Miraumont tie situation is
somewhat obscure, but 1t would seem
probable that the Germans have
thrown enough men into the battle
10 retard the British,
Nearer the Somme, however, the
Germans have not been so success
full. 1t is reported that Bray has
been captured by the British, who
are said to be to the east of that
town. Bray is important because It
stands on high ground and dominates
a large amount of territory on each
side of the comma
There are few details of the prog
ress Of the fighting south of the
Somme, The capture of cannon is
repeSted from this region, but there
has been no news of further progress
there by the British.
Along the Chaulnes-Roye sector
there is comparative quiet. This sec
tor has not been mentioned in re-
cent advices. Although the French
arc known to be close to Noyon, that
city is still held by the Germans. The
French hold ground along the south
err bank of the Disc, and have been
reported to be across it at two points,
but they appear to have ceased their
attacks for the moment, seeming to
he waiting for the outcome of the
fighting in Picardy and Artois.
The left bank of the Ailette is also
held by the French. There have been
reports that they have crossed this
stream, but these have not been of
flcially confirmed. South of the
Ailette, the French appear to be def
initely held up on the hills north of
scissors. Their position there, how
ever, would seem to render the Ger
man position near Scissors unten-
able.
Local fighting of some severity
has taken place along the Vesle river
where Americans are holding the
line.
Trench raids by the French in the |
Lorraine sector are reported from
The French war office. This activity
n what has been for some time a
luiet sector, may be the prelude to
IN attack against the Germans there.
The diplomatic situation between
'pain and Germany seems to be quite
'9licate as the result of the decision
N the part of the former to take
yer on a ton-for-ton basis German
hips to replace Spanish ships lost
trough attacks by submarines. 1t is
eported that Berlin has sent pro-
est TO Madrid, but has not agreed to
init submarine warfare or guaran-
ee Spain against further losses.

Grass Fire Does
Damage TO Sheds

An alarm Of fire called the de.
partment out on B street Thursday
afternoon where grass fire was
burning fiercely, and threatened to
communicate with the haystack and
sheds belonging to j. R. Maxedon on
the corner of B street and Mountain
avenue. The fire was put out with
comparatively little damage done,
aside from the sheds being badly
scorched.

London, Aug. 25.-"New Zealand
ers, striking in a direction Of Ba-
laume, have captured Cojeul with
irresistible dash," says an official
statement Issued by the war office
shortly after midnight. Elsewhere
there were successful local actions, !"
the statement adds.
The only Coieul appearing on the
maps Is the Coieul river, nine miles
forth of 3apuame, but is possible
that there is a small village of that
name near Bapaume.
Field Marshal Halg's fighting arm.
les achieved further victories Satur-
day. They delivered blow after blow
to the staggering enemy, who, in
some places, such as the Thiepval
salient, was reported to be in a state
of great confusion.
Thlepval itself, a mighty position
etop high hill, from which the
surrounding country for miles is un.
der observation, has been occupied,
and the British line has been
straightenod between Grandcourt and
la Boisselle.
Miraumont, that Boche position
which has held for days in the center
OF the battle front, is gradually being
surrounded. The town is choked
with German dead and many living
Germans may be captured there
shortly.
In the advance on Bapaume, the
"illage of Avesnes-les- Bapaume, Just
at the edge Of the larger town, has
been reached. 1t seems certain that
Bapaume will fall, but more heavy
fighting is expected. British troops
have advanced to a point north of
Mory and have also entered Croisil-
lee, which iC some miles east of the
Arras-Bapaume road, and probably
marks the peak of the advance east
ward in the northern battle zone.
There has also been fighting north |
Of the River Scarpe and the British
have penetrated the old German |
'front.' line for more than 500 yards. |
The British attacked Givenchy and !
recovered the old front line from
which they retired during an attack
last evening.
While Field Marshal Haig's men
pressed forward with mighty strides
m the main battle front Saturday,
hey had to fight for every yard OF
ground. Considerable numbers of
,uns and prisoners have been captur-
I'd all along the line and the British
lave again inflicted the heaviest pos
ible casualties on the enemy. The
round over which the battle has
,een fought was Invariably Uttered
With dead Huns.
Fighting a battle which in its in
ensity rivals any combat of the war,
long the western front, the British
orces from the Cojeul river, near
Irras, to point far south of the
omme, are apparently slowly gain {
lg ground at some points. S
The storm center of the battle {

has something of a following over
there that may develop sufficient
strength TO insure a trip up Salt river
for two OF the other candidates.
Until after the Clay ward meet
ing II will be hard to observe the con-
dition In that ward of many fierce
contests. II is generally believed that
the real fight is between the aspirants
for the lone place in the board of al
dcrmen, now occupied by Lawrence
Paul.
Many voters wonder how Alderman
Paul can have as one of his cam
paign managers a man who is also a
close friend and advisor OF the chair
man OF the administrative board. when
Il is understood that the alderman has
on number of occasions roasted" the
board, and expressed his firm convic-
ton that there should be a change in
the form of government, 1t is known,
however. that Jesse c. Duke. active
campaigners, and that he is also in
close touch with the movements OF
Chairman John Hirschb.rg.
II was said along "polHS ,ians' row
on Broad street last right that~the
chances were there would be no pub
lie meeting In Madison ward, for the
very good reason that the candidates
did not care TO engage in public de-
bate. Efforts have been made 10
awaken the clubs TO the Importance
OF the public meeting. but 50 far ne
success has followed the efforts OF
those concerned.
