Appeal TO County
TO Show Patriotism

The executive committee of the
jackson County War Savings organ
iZation is becoming active in its cam
paign for National War Savings day,
June 28, and is interesting the local
committee in the movement around
Ashland. Since the Inauguration Of
this war measure Ashland has evid-
emily not taken it seriously, and as
result the purchase of war savings
stamps has fallen away below the
quota assigned to this city.
County Chairman Henry Hart Of
Medford has issued an appeal to the
people of the county in which he
says:
"The national committee, believing
that the first two of the three-fold
purposes to be accomplished by the
war savings campaign, namely: war
consciousness, personal responsibility
and thrift-have been attained by
the months of spreading the war say
ings gospel, now order that the third
objective-purchase of war stamps
be put over the top by the taking
of wholesale orders from our citizens
for war savings stamps to be deliver
ed and paid for as desired during
the rest of the year, instead of pur-
chasing in retail fashion as hereto
fore.
"In the past six months 10 per cent
only of the two billion dollar issue of
war savings stamps authorized by
congress, have been taken by the
American people, leaving the 80 per
cent to be placed in the following
seven months. Under the original
plan this seemed practically impos-
sible, hence the change.
1--WE are simply up against a new
Liberty loan-a Liberty loan in which
every citizen can participate to the
extent of his or her financial ability.
The maximum amount for any one
investor is placed at one thousand
dollars and the minimum at five dol
lars, maturity value; short term
government bond carrying the un-
heard of option of cashing at any
time should necessity require.
"The county's quota is two-thirds
of the apportionment of the last Lib
erty loan, namely: Two hundred and
fifty-eight thousand six hundred and
sixty-six dollars ($258, 8,666.00). We
have sold, in round numbers, seventy
six thousand dollars of the issue,
leaving for us to dispose of in the
present campaign one hundred and
eighty-two thousand six hundred dol
lars. To accomplish this the finan-
cial resources of the county must be
appealed to. AS the plans for the
campaign are brought into action,
more and more of our citizens will
be called upon to assist the commit
tee. The best help can only be used
in this work, and if perchance some
work is assigned you, 1t is because
Of your fitness and loyalty that you
have been chosen and the committee
assumes that none of us at home
will refuse to do their utmost to back
up our valient army at the seat of
war"

There has been renewed activity
on the part of the German artillery

the regions under bombardment is
the line between Noyon and Montdi-

Germans Found On Defensive
On Front Where Allies Assault

In the battle field of the Marne,
where a week ago the Germans were
hurling their masses of troops against
the western side of the wedge, they
drove in the battle that began March
26, the Teutons are now standing
virtually on the defensive in the Cha
teau Thierry sector.
American and French troops are
participating in a reaction on the
extreme tip of the salient, and are
engaged in the other side of the
wedge, between tn Marne and
Rheims.
While the operations take the ma
ture of local attacks, they have had
their effect in driving the Germans
back from the points they reached
on the crest of the wave that car
ried them far on the road to Paris.
The attacks, which began just to the
southwest of Chateau Thierry, are
spreading northward along the line
and everywhere the allies report
ground gained from the enemy.
The rush of the American marines
and the French on Thursday has not
continued to gain ground as fast as
it did at the inception of the move
ment, but it is still going on. In
the meantime they have withstood
two violent attacks by the Germans
and have repulsed the enemy in de-
cisive fashion.

most equal in Importance to that in
front of Amiens. The French forces
we're rushed to this front and fought
savagely to stop the German advance
and retake ground which was of stra-
tegical and technical Importance.
At the same time, the Woevde sec
tors, just to the southeast of Verdun,
is claiming attention. Lage move
ments Of enemy troops in the direc-
tion of st. Mihiel have been reported
by aerial observers and there are in
dications that the positions Of the
Americans along this part of the
front may be in the storm center Of
a terrific German attack soon.
The advantages to be gained by
the Germans, If they succeed in
breaking this line, are manifold
Eighteen miles west of st. Mihiel is
the town of Barbecue, and still far
ther westward is Vitry, which would
be but a stepping stone to a dash
to Chalons-sur-Marne. If the line at
st. Mihiel could be broken or driven
back very far the whole Verdun sec
tor would be in peril and might have
to be abandoned.

In the Flanders sector, which has
been quiet since the attack along the
Aisne, the Germans on Wednesday
sought to improve their positions by
capturing the hospital at Locre. This
point would give them a starting
point for an attack on the village of
Locre, which is considered one Of
the keys to the allied positions along
the hills behind the lines south Of
Ypres. The French in this sector
on Friday, however, attacked and
drove the enemy back to his former
positions and the allied line has been
restored.

Tire Costs Reduced

a leading tire manufacturer has nm
interesting story to tell about tire cost,
that is very pertinent in view Of pres-
ent conditions. In 1918, taking one
type of tire as standard. the user
got from 5000 to 1900 miles service
which cost him about one cent . mile
for each wheel. In 1914 improvements
increased the mileage to 1000 1890
and this, with decrease in the price Of
the tire, brought the cost to e5-loo In
1915 there was further decrease in
price. and the average mileage in
creased about 500, making the mileage
cost about 48-100 of a cent In 1o1s
the cost of materials began to soar.
but improved manufacturing methods
brough. the mileage up to about 5000.
which, in spite Of higher prices.
gave . mileage cost Of about 4b-loO
cent. During the past year the cost
Of materials has been sky-rocketing,
hut by reason of further improvements
II ID Expected that q milage of from
1000 to 5000 will be shown, giving an
actual probable cost Of 5-100 of a cent
per mile. These figures are based on
what careful, intelligent driver ought
to get and can get by proper care of

appallingly unfortunate But the ne
cessity for national organization So
cializes the nation capable of it; or,
to putth matter more truly, if the
socializing process had anticipated the
war-as it had in Great Britain-the
ability to complete it under stress is
the test of democratic nation, and
hence the test of democracy, since the
socializing process becomes interna-
tional. Britain has stood the test, even
from the old-fashioned militarist point
OF view, since it is apparent that no
democracy can wage a sustained great
war unless it is socialized.
After the war she will probably lead
all other countries in a sane and SCI,
entific liberalization. The encouraging
fact is that not in spite of her liberal
ism, but because of it. she has met
military Germany on her own ground
and, to use vigorous. expression, gone
ner one better. Britain's democratized
army is better supplied and more sci
sntifically organized than the despot-
led forces that oppose it. Taking all
factors into account, there Is now no
finer army in the world In 1914, as
armies go to-day, it was a mere hand

We not only honor him for his bust
ness integrity, but above all for his
generosity and benevolences. His in
terest in the social and civic welfare
OF the city was ever on his heart and
as the burden of the support of such
enterprises falls largely upon the bust

these movements inspired confidence

gave generously of his money, but
much of his time was devoted to all

His active, useful and wholesome
life gives inspiration for ever higher

While the large retail business which
bears his name is splendid monu-
ment to his ability as a merchant, the
thing that is more enduring than that
are his Vulnerable benevolences and
the inspiration he has given to young
men in useful careers.
Therefore, we as retail merchants
do honor to him who was easily the
peer of us all in thus giving public
expression of our esteem for him as

a man, and urge that some more for

[Continued From Page One.1

Wilson's need not be incorporated in
the peace treaty because secret treat
les never have and never can exist
in this country. and he added:
Secret diplomacy is a loose term
and I think that the question is of
no vital importance at this moment,
and whatever our views may be about
the methods of diplomacy, we can
make peace without Germany without
undertaking to settle what shall con-
stitute secret diplomacy in the future
and what shall not"
Urging postponement of action on
the matter of economic barriers, he
said it "opens wide field for dis
cussion,' and 'its settlement is not
in the least essential to ending the
war by a peace with Germany. We
can make that peace without determin-
ing at this moment what we shall do
with our tariffs in the making of
which every nation ought to have en-
tire freedom"
Russia, Senator Lodge declared, pre-
sents an important problem in con-
nection with the world peace and re-
construction. which cannot be shirked
All civilized nations, he urged, must
aid in the restoration of Russia.
