gard to the accidental drowning of
her son Clifford near. Astoria last
week, arrived this morning in a le:-
ter from her sister, who hasten l
to the scene of the accident from

and another young man by the name
OF Hall went out rowing in a flat.
duck boat on the river. The water
suddenly became so rough that the.
boat capsized, precipitating the occu-

he could not and while Hall was at
to save himself, witness

the boat and disappear.
That was the last that was seen Of

Arrangements have been complet-
ed for the Southern Oregon Chau-
tauqua which has been an establish
ed institution for over a quarter of
a century. The organization of this
movement has brought to the doors
CT Ashland residents the best speak
ers and entertainers on the public
platform, and afforded an opportun-
ity for nominal fee of listening to
instructive and entertaining pro-
grams which through any other
sources would never be brought to
this city.
Since the erection of the new Chau-
tauqua building, every effort is be-
Ing made to have a better program
of entertainment and corps of lec-
turers and instructors than ever be-
fore. To obtain this, the manage
lnent has combed the lecture bureau
and feel justified in announcing that
the Chautauqua this year has never
Geen equalled since its inception.
Last evening a meeting was held
in the city hall to arrange for a drive
to sell season tickets for the Chautau-
qua. This was presided over by Prof
G. A. Briscoe, and was attended by
an enthusiastic number of Chautau-
Qua fans, whose interests have been
concerned in this institution for
many years.
Soliciting teams were appointed,
and the city divided into II districts
which will be canvassed. Saturday
the teams will start out on their drive
and expect to visit every household
in the city to enable the inmates to
take advantage of the reduced rates

German Prisoners See End of War
Because Yankees Are on the Job

With the American Army in
France, June 26.-German prisoners
captured by the Americans on storm
ing the Belleau wood section last
night, now number ESQ, including
seven officers. One of the officers
said that the German commanders
have been telling the soldiers that
the Germans have landed an army
In America, capturing New York and
are now marching on Philadelphia.
The Germans also are told that sub
marines have sunk between 40 and
80 ships in, Long Island sound.
Another German officer, arrogant
and sarcastic, remarked;
1--WE are just starting with the
Americans. We are going to wipe
out whole divisions, as il they we're
companies"
The German privates we're less ar
iogant and apparently were glad they
were captured. One declared that
the Germans were surprised that the
American, who appeared so young,
hut fought like devils when they got
started. Another declared:
"The war will soon be ended.
There are too many Americans COM
ing to Europe"
This prisoner was a Prussian who
had fought on the Russian front. He
confessed the Germans were prepar-
Ing to attack the Americans in Bel
leau wood, when the American troops
started their attack. 1t was a sur
Prise affair. The Americans came
9ne way and the German officers
tried to force their men forward the
ether way. This prisoner was shot
in the leg by his own officer because
he hesitated confusedly between the
american guns and bayonets and the
pistols in the hands of the German
officers.
Raymond S, Howell of Barnesville,
o., who was in the first line of the
advance, describing the operations,
said:
I'VE took up a position in the open
wood. There were no trenches. The
Germans opened a heavy fire and
shells fell around US like rain. We
charged over the rocky hill, our fel-
lows laughing and yelling wa7
whoop. We then came upon a wheat
field and crossed in the face of a
withering shell and machine gun fire

Session Of Southern Oregon
Chautauqua is Most Attractive

faithful accomplishment of their can-
yassing campaign.
Efforts are being made to i'm
prove the interior of the Chautauqua
tuilding which was opened last year
in an incompleted stage. In some
portions of the building it is diff
cult to hear readily, but committee
has been appointed to remedy that
defect, and they feel that they can
practically assure the public that this
difficulty will be eliminated for this
session.
. While it is needless to dwell on
the benefits and pleasures to be de-
rived from this institution, the ques
tion of spending money for Chautau
qua is one that enters into the minds
of many at this time of stress. Many
people assume that while our coun-
Try is at war all affairs not absolute
ly pertaining to the benefits of the
nation should be set aside, and every
thing should be devoted to the well
fare of the soldiers and the country
in general.
This attitude is not compatible with
the instructions of the heads of the
government, who contend that so far
rs possible normal life should be
passed by those left at home, and in
nc manner may vacation be spent
by the people of Ashland and the
Rogue River valley as cheaply and
as profitably as attending the entire
session of ChautauQua next month.
Even those who live at a distance
from Ashland can come here and
camp or board at very little expense,
and while enjoying the benefits of
the Chautauqua they can obtain de-
liShtful outing at the same time.
The pleasures and comforts derived
from the delightful surroundings in
Ashland are not open to every pleas
IRE resort, where nature has not been
50 beneficent as she has here, and
the small expense attached to the
season at Chautauqua is very slight
compared with the advantages OBJ
tanned.
1t is to be hoped that a generous
patronage will be accorded to the
solicitors when they visit the homes
of Ashland next Saturday. These
women are leaving their household
occupations without remuneration of
any sort in the endeavor to assist in
providing an entertainment for the
mutual benefit of the entire COM
nunity, and the only way to secure
this is to patronize the Southern Ore
gon Chautauqua faithfully this year
ever if it be the only vacation you
may have. The benefits derived from
listening to people from the outside
world will more compensate for the
sacrifice you may feel you are max
ing by purchasing a ticket.

Bows OF Fl Will
Draw Lots Today

A second national lottery to deter
mine the order of call for the 744,-
S65 men registered last June 3, will
be held in Washington, D. c., today,
The procedure will be similar to
that of last year, when nearly TO-
900, 900 men were given their rela-
tive places in the draft. The same
bowl will be used with capsules con-
tanning numbers up to the largest
numbers of registrants in any district
in the country. Last year 10000
capsules we're provided, but the num-
ber this year will be much smaller.
The lottery system is based upon
the selection of master numbers, each
Of which governs similar numbers
in every one of the $500 local dis
tricts over the country. Under the
system of classifying registrants
adopted since the first drawing last
year, however, 1t would not necessar-
lily follow that the men holding the
first number drawn would be the
first called for service.

Americans never hesitated and the
sound of their shouts and whoops
were almost drowned by the German

When they reached the lines, the
American said quietly:

said, Yah"
Some idea of the thoroughness
with which the American troops pre-.
pared for the attack may be cleaned
from the fact that they fired approxi-
mately 5000 high explosives in che
hour. The German lines were torn

Horvath, anti-Bolsheyik military lead
er in Eastern Siberia, under which he
sought to assume control of all the
Russian military forces in the Far
East, was short-lived
Diplomatic advices from Vladiyos-

failed through the intervention Of the
allied representatives at Vladivostok,
who informed his representative, Gen

the new Siberian Government would
be upheld
According to those advices the coup
OF General Horvath was of scarcely
an hours duration. The diplomats
made very clear that no Government
based on personal assumption Of poVSs

powers, but that they were prepared
to support Governments in Russia
that we're based on a free expression
Of popular sentiment
There was nothing left for General
Horvath but to relinQuish his preten-
