As the Allies drive the Germans
further and further from Paris, the
question becomes more and more
acute as to whether the Huns will be
able to make a stand on the linden
burg line. or back of it. 1t is very
likely that they will, and that the war
of movement ON that front will soon
come to an end. We doubt that the
Allies will dig in" before the Ger
man positions and prepare to spend
the winter in trenches. All the coun-
try which is now being fought over
for the fourth time, is a desert, and
it would cost the Allies an immense
amount of labor and material to es-
tablish lines of communication across
it. They will probably hold it with
a comparatively light force of obser-
walton and strike elsewhere. We
would think it most likely that often
sive operations will be undertaken
thru Alsace and Lorraine. 1t is along
this line that the war can be most
quickly transferred to German soil.
The Allies will hardly try to make
an advance thru Belgium. Even if
they drove the Germans thru that al
ready martyred country, the Bel
gians would suffer more than the
Germans. They will probably prefer
to fight where all the shot can fall
on German soil.

democracy and subscribe to the fund
that is to make the world safe for
democracy.

Some of the Stars good friends
have asked it to support the proposzz
ed ten-mill tax amendment for the
state schools. We can't do anything
but oppose any effort to increase the
state and county taxes of the people
at this time when the heaviest bur-
den of war taxes they have ever
known is about to be laid upon them.
The schools ARE receiving their full
share of the public money now. Ev-
erything in the way Of public inn
provements has been given to under
stand it must wait until the war is
over and the schools can wait, too.
The position Of the government is
shown in it's ruling the other day
that no more school houses be erect
ed till the war is over. Let the peo-
pie abstain from voting any more
taxes on themselves. They will have
all laid upon them they can stagger
under as it is.

MAZDA Hill.

1t is now more than a century since
an English army fought in Italy, and
won the battle of Mazda over the
French. Napoleon had vowed to con-
quer Sicily, and for that purpose the
French pushed on into Calabria, and
began to make extensive preparations.
But the English forces for the de-
tense Of Sicily prepared to deal blow
on the mainland. A force OF 5000
men landed in the bay Of st. Emphe-
mia, and the battalions of the French
fell before the bayonets of the Brit
ish. Napoleon's hopes were shattered
at stroke. But the daily breader"
from Kilborn travelling into London,
by way of the Edgward road, never sus-
poets as he passes by Mazda Hill and
MAZDA Vale, the origin of the name.

One of our young business men,
tho he has plenty of his own work to
do, is now putting in large proper
tiQn of his spare time writing to peo-
pie he knows, or knows of, in the
north, informing them of what a
nice town Ocala is, and what a pleas
ant country there is around it, and
advising them. if they come south
this winter, to pay us visit. Now,
if everybody would follow his ex-
ample we would probably have about
q thousand northern people making
their homes with us during the
months when severe cold is felt in the
north We could accommodate about
a thousand people very comfortably
and good many of them would re-
turn again and again, and bring

In response to the Stars invitation
to the Tampa Tribune, that it defend
or denounce Cats for his interference
with the school affairs of Pasco coun-

1t should say il. won't denounce him
and can't defend him; for that would
be the truth. The Trib. further says
that Cats has "proven amply able to
defend himself We would like to see
what sort of defense he would try
to make for his intolerance and at
tempted usurpation of power. His
defense would be curiosity.

from the desert that a few years ago

bend the fearful crime Germany has
committed against civilization, and
should resolve that such brutal and
unjust nation should be stripped of
all power to repeat the outrage.

The board of commissioners has
ordered an election in November, to
decide if compulsory tick eradication
and cattle dipping shall be the law in
this county. The Star hopes that our
people will vote heavily in the affir-

of not only our farmers and stock
men, but of all our people, that the
tick be eradicated. The government is
very anxious that cattle dipping be
the universal practice all over the
country, and is spending large sums
to help have the work done. Better
cattle will help win the war. We do
not see how any man can tolerate
ticks on his cattle any more than he
can tolerate bedbugs on himself or
his kinfolks.

AGREAT LEVELER.

Captain Williams paid a high
tribute to the new National Army
while addressing members OF the
Heppner Home Guard in this city last
Thursday evening. Captain Williams
although appearing to be man yet
in his twenties, is in reality nearer
forty. He served in the Spanish
American war and has been in the
service more than twenty years. 1t
was his duty, while stationed at Camp
Lewis, to put some 600 men through
his company in the various stages OF
military development from the time
they first joined the awkward squad
until they we're pronounced soldiers
in the true sense.
1.-The new National Army is the
greatest army on earth, said Captain
Williams. Here every man has an
equal chance and Is put forward on
his merits. Millionaire son and poor
boy bunk side by side and the great
est spirit of fellowship imaginable
exists" He cited an instance, where
in his company was son OF Seattle
millionaire who had for his bunk
mate an Italian, a poor fellow VINO
probably did not have Is cents to his
name. Nevertheless the two men be-
came the greatest of chums and on
Saturday evening when the big tour
ing car came down from the city after
the son of wealth, he piled in his
room mate and they were off for a
weekend visit at the big mansion in
Seattle, the Dago the guest OF his ar
my friends during those two days.
"The spirit which dominates the
men in this National Army can lick
any army in the world, for outside OF
the Canadians, no other army has

liams. "The war is going to be a
great class leveler and it is going to
accomplish a number of other great
things. 1t will result in bringing la
Dor and capital ciCser together. The
laborer will be raised ur and the cap
italst will be brought down"
Captain Williams assured the
Heppner Home Guard that the war
would not be over this summer, that
the government is making every prep
aration for the winning of war that
may last yet even five years and that
in all probability there will be TO-
100000 American soldiers under
arms before Prussianism is finally
stamped out He also predicted that
the age limit would be increased in
the near future from IS to 45 years

also have changed in status, but the
registrant has not notified his local
board.
With the time at hand when the
need for manpower is so urgent that
every available man must either
work or fight" and when lower
classifications are to be revised in or
der to make more men available for
Glass l, this form of evading military
service will not be tolerated.
The draft regulations are very
plain and blunt in prescribing the
penalty for failure on the part of a
man granted deferred classification
to notify his local board at once If his
status is changed:
Every registrant shall, within five
days after the happening thereof, re-
port to his local board any fact which
might change or affect his classifica-
tion," says Section 116 of the Regula-
tions.
Failure to report change of status
as herein required, or making a false
