four small apertures which he knew
to be loopholes. The excellence Of
his perlscope even enabled him to

REv|E;WQF Fourth YEAROF WORLD
WIDE STRUGGLE FOR DEMOCRACY
Continued from yesterday

The allies have been called upon
to face two great offensives during
the past year. The first Of these
came last October in Italy and the
second, in France, began on March
81. The German drives in France,
while separated by periods of from
a few days to several weeks. have
been considered as different phases
of the same offensive. The abor-
tive Austrian attack against Italy in
June also Is looked upon as merely
another attack against the western
front and not as distinct military
operation.
But these offensives perhaps new
er would have been begun had it
not been for the collapse of Russia
during the past winter. German
and Austrian troops, realised from
the Russian front, were taken to
France and Italy to swell the masses
of men hurled against the allies in
the western theatre of operations.
AS long as Russia remained in the
fight she held great numbers Of
Teutonic troops in the east and her
withdrawal from. the war exercised
a fundamental influence on the
course of its development.
Situation Year Ago
The year opened with the for
tunes Of war apparently favoring the
entente. The British had forced
back the Germans to the famous
Hindenburg line. The French had
established themselves firmly along
the Chemin des Danes, north of the
Aisne. The echoes OF verdun were
still ringing the knell Of German
hopes in that sector of the battle
area. The Italians were holding
their lines along the Tsonzo. The

MEDFORD DAILY PAPER
CHANGES TO WEEKLY

The Medford Sun. after being
published for nine years as a morn
ing daily, will discontinue the daily
issue August /. but will be published
as a Sunday morning weekly until
conditions warrant resumption of
the daily issue.
The Suns announcement in part
is as follows:
"As a necessary war measure the
Medford Sun will be reduced on Au-
gust 1st from daily to a Sunday
Weekly newspaper. H
Under present conditions two
daily newspapers in Medford are an
economic waste. They represent a
waste in both money and labor.
I'm the opinion Of the mana ge-
ment Of the Sun 1t is as unpatriotic
to waste money or labor during war
time, as food or materials. Every
man, every dollar and every hour Of
labor is needed now by the govern
ment in useful and essential em.
ployment."
This makes the third Jackson
county paper to be discontinued
since the war started. Twelve hun.
dred papers have been discontinued
in the United States during the pas,
12 months.
