JERENTAH'S LAMENTATIONS
NAUGHT IN COMPARISON

II have listened TO the senator s
remarks and have reached the con-
clusion that the lamentations OF
jeremiah were not in il with the

Mr.. President, this day takes me
back 10 a time not long ago In

With the American First ARMY, Sept.
27.-(1l a. m.)--The number Of prison
ers and captured guns is mounting as
the Americans sweep on in the Argonne
region.
Captured German guns have been
turned on the enemy. Among the pris-
Orers are number of dismounted Uhl-
ans, rated as the flower Of German
cavalry.
The retiring enemy is setting fire
to munitions dumps and already has
destroyed great quantity of ammu-
milton.
All indications point to the fact that
the Germans intended to make a strong
effort to hold the Aire valley, between
the Aisne and the Mouse, and tried
to establish new line through Mont
Blainville. Airplanes strafed the work
ing parties and the infantry swept in,
capturing the prisoners as the line was
pierced.

GERMANS WERE ROUTED
BY "AMATUER" YANKEE
ARMY IN CHAMPAGNE

The infantry attack was preceded by
five nours artillery preparation which
exceeded the st. Mihel bombardmcnt in
violence. Three hours of this intense
fire was devoted to destroying the enc
MY ) first lihe defense.
Mont Falcon, IL miles northwest of
Verdun was encircled and encircled and
captured at noon, just six hours and a
half after the attack began. Cuicy,
Nantillois, Septsargos and other points
were similarly cleaned up, or taken by
frontal assaults.
The operation reflects the attacking
| power of the American better than did
the St. Mihiel assault, this being our
/, first frontal attack over an extended
front. Thv advance was far ahead Of
schedule all day. Several spots were
encountered where the artillery failed
to smash the enemy's wire entngte-
ments.
The doughboys cut these obstructiops
by hand and pushed on without any noA
! tieeable pause.
ARTILLERY and squadrons of airplanes
bombarded the German rear areas with
deadly effect, smashing new bridges
and, settig fire to number of ammuni
tion dumps.
Prisoners said an American attack
was expected but that it was looked for
east of Vcrdun. As result the Ger
mans had great artillery concentrations
and reserves massed between Veidun
and the Metz region
Boche artillery along tl.e east bank
OF the Meuse was SO completely gassed
lit scarcely fired shot all day. The
enemy resistance was effected mainly
through the generous use Of machine
guns. These were stormed.
| A strong artillery fire was kept up
Wednesday night on the entire line
from the Meuse to the Mogolle, thus
adding to the boches uncertainty as to
just where the attack was to be made
Fifteen or twenty raids were made to
the northwest, catching the Germans
completely off their balance.
The Germans were unable to use
much artillery in the region under at.
tack on account Of the fact most OF
their guns were concentrated between
] Verdun and Metz or were on the road
to that sector.
The number of prisoners is believed
to be far greater than the 1000 already
announced, as they are being brought
to the rear in constant stream.
The operations were shrouded al
morning in heavy mist, from whiel
peaks and hills stuck up badly. Tht
valleys weer invisible.
Airplanes circled low, keeping Will
the infantry. Others waged unceasine
attacks on boche flyers, thousands Of
feet higher, maintaining complete mas
terry Of the air.
More than a score Of enemy plane.
and several balloons we're shot down.
American and French airmen kept the
boche back as far as ten kllometeri
(more than six miles, behind their owl
lines most of the day. One group Of
iplanes, fighting a boche cavalry reserve
swooped down on them and drove thost
who survived into wood.

Kaiser Bill is "getting his" today.
He is being booted all the way from
Portland to Salem. He will arrive at
the state fair grounds about 4:30 OF
5 clock this afternoon, covered with
dust and flabby from the blows i'm
planted by husky Oregon lads.
This Kaiser Bill is football, but it
represents what the people Of Oregon
would like to do with the real Kaiser
Bill who plunged the world into an or
gy Of bloodshed.
It represents what the people OF
Oregon, with those in the other states
in the union, are going to do to kais'
er Bill by going over the top with men
and money to put the German war lord
out Of business.
This feature is one Of the patriotic
stunts pulled off in connection with
the state fair today, as this is patriot
ic day. It is also designated as govern.
ors, Willamette valley, fraternal soei-
cites and naturapathic day.
But with all the attractions sched-
uled for this afternoon and tonight, il
is doubtful if the monster crowd OF
yesterday can be deuplicated. The
crowd Wednesday broke attendance
records up to that time, but the crowd
yesterday even surpassed that of the
day before.
Visitors poured into the city and
the fair grounds all day long by trair
and automobile, until the congestion Of
