Feared Hun ombardment.

New York, Oct. 5.-The series of terrific explosions at the shell-loading plant of T. A. Gillespie $ Co.,, at Nor gan, N. J., last night and early today were plainly felt in New York city, Long Island and points along the New Jersey coast, 20 miles away. Flashes of light could be see many miles away. Many persons believed an enemy fleet was bombing he coast and 'besieged police stations and newspaper offices with telephone calls.
 The explosion which occurred in the Gillespie plant at Morgan, N. J., at 10:09 a. m. was like many of the pre- vious explosions distinctly felt in New York, 20 miles distant and, was even reported to have been felt as far away as Islip, l.. T., 50 miles from the scene
 The city again was shaken at 10:30 o'clock with a series of explosions. The city again was shaken at noon by another series of terrific explosions.

 "BeIieves Germans "1ellow".
 He is fully convinced that the Ger man army as @ whole is yellow . and absolutely refuses to give the boy say fight. There is only one branch that deserves credit as fight CTS, the Prussian Guards. The guards will stand up and fight while they live, and as they met their match in this line at Chateau Thierry, it was a common occurrence to find Ger man guard and an American Marine lying beside each other in No Man s Land, both of them having died fighting. The average German SOL dier however is a coward, and cant even run we'll O'Neil makes no pre- dictions as to end of the war but states that the Germans are out Of the running entirely, and are merely fighting for an easy peace. There is not an American soldier in France who does not feel that he cannot whip any four Germans.
 Private O'NeiI is one of 23 mem- bers of the original 51st company composed of 25O men who have sur vived these battle. In the first en- gagement on the sixth of June the company's casualties numbered 80 killed and wounded. By the 25th of the month there was but 23 men in the company. They were relegated to the rear for a short time, and placement troops filled In the ranks after which they returned to the front were reviewed by Brigadier General Legurn and again went into the trenches.
 Saw Pershing and Foch.
 While in France the local Marine had the honor of seeing both Gen eral Pershing and General Foch. Both these leaders made tours of the hospitals and talked to the wounded men, The boys are proud to be in the hospitals and receive a wound for their old glory. They regard a wound a badge of honor.
 O'Neil has a large number of souv- enirs taken from the German pris oners. The 51st took about 500 prisoners alone. Among his souven- irs are the shoulder straps of 9 Ger man lieutenant, photographs taken from a German officer and a private and a, belt buckle marked "Gott Mitt Uns". He states that when the Ger mans are taken prisoners the first thing that is done, remove all buttons from their clothing and take their belts and suspenders. The prisoners have to keep their hands in their pockets to keep their clothes on and not run away.
 O'Neil will return to the Brooklyn Navy hospital Sunday night to undergo electrical treatment for his arm and is awaiting orders which will decide whether he is to return over seas or to remain on this side. He has two gold service stripes on his sleeve, one showing that he has seen six months service overseas and another to show that he has been wounded. He also wears a medal which he received for sharpsho oting.

Fol- lowing is the letter which has been dispatched to all clergymen:
 T take the liberty of asking you to address a few words to your con- gregation on Sunday, on the subject of epidemic influenza.
 This disease is propagated by those who harbor the germ of the disease in their throats by open coughing, splitting and sneezing in public places. I would ask you to re- quest the members of your congrega- tiOn to cough. sneeze and spit in their handkerchiefs, and to request those who are suffering from colds to stay away from church theater and from all public assem plies until they have recovered from the colds, or until the epidemic is at an end.

NEWTON CLARK

Most of the newer residents of Hood
River Valley did not know him as they
should. They would have profited by
"A friendship with Newton Clark He
was a man without ostentatlon but as
solid as was ever born. A soldier, and
a fighting one, for four years of his
early manhood, and then a frontiers
man. he experienced life as men of fol-
lowing generations could not. 1t was
a privilege to hear him recount tales
of the days of the past. As everlast-
ing as the hills and mountain crags he
loved were the principles and rugged
honesty of Newton Clark. He was
loyal to the things he believed in and
fought untiringly for their accomplish
ment.
But few men knew that Mr.. Clark
had passed the age of 80 years. He
walked with erectness and his step
was firm. News of his death brought
a shock of grief to all here last Fri
day. His comrades, men who knew
him best, and loved him, and the fami.
lies of pioneers, heard the sad news
with pangs of deepest regrets.
Another of our pioneers has gone on
the long trail, and we will miss him.

THE U. OF 0. MILITARY ENCAMPMENT

The University of Oregon last Mon
day began four weeks military en-
campment, modelled on the famous
Plattsburg camp. Every man of the
state who could arrange his affairs and
attend this encampment ought to be at
Eugene attending the camp. We know
of no finer way of taking a vacation
II addition TO the military training
gained, the men who leave the camp
will never regret it because Of the
physical benefits that will result.
Col. John Leader, commander of the
Royal Irish Rifles at the battle of the
Somme, and an officer detailed there
for duty by the United States War De-
partment, are in charge at Eugene.
The work will be especially beneficial
for Young men who expect to attend
training camps later and rfor Oregon
citizens expecting to take an active
part in home guard work.

The BOY AND GIRL WORKERS

Mutual benefits will accrue to the
fruit growers of the valley and to the
275 young men and women who have
come here from Portland to assist in
the harvest Of the strawberry and
cherry crops. To large extent the
boys and girls have saved the labor
situation and have made possible the
profitable marketing of fruit that
might have gone to waste.
The boys and girls, however. we
think, will benefit more than the
ranchers they helped. The experience
of this vacation work will not soon be
forgotten. A vacation of healthful
work is far better than idleness.
While they may not return home with
finances greatly improved, their physl
cal condition will be all the better.
They have come in contact with the
soil and have imbibed new ideas of the
Importance of their usefulness. Vaca.
tion days of idleness will never again
appeal to any Of them.
