CONVICT OBJECTS TO
STERILIZATION EDlCT
Eugenics Board Has Ordered
That Law Be Enforced In
-Four Cases

Herbert Merithew, convict at the
state penitentiary, has taken an appeal
from the order of the state board of
eugenics directing that he be sterilized
under the provisions of law passed by
the last Legislature, according to letter
received today by Attorney General
Brown from DIR. A. G. Seeley, president
of the board.
DIR. Seeley asked for advice as to what
steps the board should take next, but
before the attorney general can reply
he will ask a full record of the case.
The eugenics board has ordered that
four convicts be sterilized and two of
them have appealed, which means that
the sterilization law will be tested in
the courts. The appeal will go to the
circuit court for Marion county and
the law provides that the district attor-
ney shall represent the eugenics board
Merithew is serving a sentence of
seven years for ain attempted crime
against nature, which was committed
while he was serving a one-year term
under the name of James Curtis for
assault with dangerous weapon. He
was sent up for one year term from
Multnomah county and for the seven
year term from Marion county. He had
also been in the penitentiary prio1 to
these two convictions.
The only convict who has appealed
from the order Of the board is Tony
Lagallo.

AMERICAN OBJECTIVE
IN FIRST CAMPAIGN
IS CAPTURE OF METZ
That Is the indication From
General PefShmg' $ GspOsi-
ton of Forces
By j. w. T. Mason

written for the United Press)
New York, Feb. 6.-The capture of
Metz and the bending back of the Ger
man salient south of Verdun will be
the first objectives of the American ex-
peditionary army in France if General
Pershing concentrates his major
strength along the salient now held by
the United States troops.
Camouflage, however, may be General
Pershing's purpose in the disposition of
his men, so as to keep Won Hindenburg
in the dark concerning the direction of
the main attack. Three months ago the
Americans were located by the Germans
along the Rhine-Marne canal, Just across
the French border from German Lor-
raine. Six weeks later, Switzerland for
mally requested assurances that Ameri-
can troops would not violate Swiss neu-
trality. The state department replied
that America would respect the neutral
ity of Switzerland if Germany and the
Swiss people themselves did the same.
This was interpreted to mean that
General Pershing's spring drive would
be near the Swiss border in southern
Alsace, about 100 miles south of the
Rhine Marine canal.
And now, six weeks later, still are
indications that the Americans are hold
ing part of the French front east of st.
Mihiel, about 20 miles south of Ver-
dun and not associated with either the
Rhine Marine canal or the southern AL
SAGE front. So far apart are these three
sectors that the German general staff
dare not concentrate at any one of the
points its newly formed armies, gather
ed along the Rhine to resist the forth
coming american offensive. Won Hin
denburg can only wait until the attack
begins before moving the mass of his
troops forward from this present reserve
position.
But if General Pershing decides to
move forward from st. Mihiel area, his
purpose will then be to plant the Am
erican flag over Metz, which would be-
come the first German fortress to be
captured during the war. Metz is the
defensive center of the German system
of railways that supply the army of the
crown prince, and all the other Ger
man forces in eastern France. Its occu-
patton by the Americans would bring
about grave disorganization in the Ger
man army and would produce serious
distrust of Won Hindenburg's invinci-
bility among the Germans at home.

MRS. CILL'S CONDITION
VERY SERIOUS TODAY
Struck by Automobile Last
Night and Injuries May
Prove Fatal

An extremely serious accident last
evening at the intersection of Church
and Court streets when an automobile
belonging to Rev. G. f. Holt and
driven by his daughter. Miss JUICY Holt,
struck Mrs. George w. Gill, living at
138 South Cottage street.
Mrs. Gill sustained a fracture of the
base of the skull, besides a broken
arm and several fractured ribs. She
was taken to the Salem hospital where
she is in a critical condition, having
not regained consciousness up to press
hour this afternoon.
The accident occurred about $50
o clock last evening. Mrs. Gill, with
another lady, were going east on Court
street and were just crossing Church at
the time. Miss Holt, with a party of
friends were driving south on Church
street on their way to the high school
building. She was on ner own side of
the street and was driving slow, as the
rain had partically obscured her vision
through the windshield. The slow
rate of progress of the machine, a
Ford, made the lights very dim, and
Mrs. Gill and her companion, doubtless
not realizing the nearness of the ma
chine, stepped out in the street to
cross. Mrs. Gill, when nearly out of
harms way, turned and started back
to the curb. Her companion went
ahead and escaped.
The injured wOman's condition is
considered critical and serious fears
are entertained that she may not re-
cover

GERMANS STRONGER
ON WESTERN FRONT
Than EVER BEFORE
But General Maurice States
That Allies Forces Are
Still the Stronger

London, Feb. 6.-The Germans are
stronger on the western front now
than at any time during the war, but
they are numerically inferior to the
Franco-British forces, General Maurice,
director general of operations, declared
in his weekly interview today.
"The situation need cause us no
anxiety" he said
Replying to enemy propaganda,
Maurice declared that the number of
Tommies in England always exceeds
one million. They are divided among
sick, wounded, members of the staff,
the supply divisions and men in train
ing, he said. The latter division is the
largest, numbering nearly 100000.
Besides, he said there are 100000 al
ways ON leave.
"Our casualties in 1917 were over a
million, hence the large number of men
in training" declared Maurice.
