Fresh troops, guns, ammunition ant

ambulapees carrying wounded.
AT hastily established dressing sta

quickly attended to and "sOrted out ~,
then sent to the rear in larger ambu-
lanc2s. Doctors and attendants who
have not slept for AS hours remain at

reaching hospitals fifty miles behind

They are hurt.

Oregon VIII Have Only
Steel Automobile TAG

Secretary of State Olcott has been
informed by f. H. Bronner of the
lrwin-HodGoh C~mpany of Fortland,
that Oregon will have steel automobile
license plates next year This is be-
cause Mr.. Olcott is the AMY secretary
cause Mp. Olcott is the only secretary
tags before it became impossible for
manufacturers to buy steel for this
purpose.
The Irwin Hodson Company has the
contract for furnishing the license
plates for next year, and Mr.. Bronner
says the company has the steel now in
their basement.
"The steel we have on hand for your
contract, says Mr.. Bonner in letter
to the secretary of state, "could be
sold for over 100 per cent more than
what we paid for It, so you can readily
see it was big saving to order the
license Plates when you did.
He says the steel cost approximately
$1,000 and the company has been of
fered $15,750 for it,
"This would be profit itself OF
over $4,000, or about five times our
profit on the entire 1919 contract, -
he says.

CITIES MUST HOLD
ELECTIONS IN NOVEMBER
Attorney General Hollis Con.
SliiuiiOnal Provision Must
Be Needed

Attorney General Brown has settled
the question 50 far as his Interpreta
tion Of the laws are concerned, as tC
whether it IS mandatory fer cities and
towns to hold their city election next
/ November at the same time the general
sta'S election is held.
II holds that they must, under the
provisions of tho constitutional amend
ment requiring that all elections must
be held on the same day.
His opinion on the subject is given
to John F. Hall, district attorney at
Mashfe.d. who told the attorney gen
eral that he was at loss to know how
ito advise the county clerk to proceed
! with such an election as there is no law
! directing him what to do under such
( circumstances. District Attorney Hall
said there was no law for the county
clerks to follow until further legisla-
Itiou can be enacted
Various city hnd county officials
have been worrying about how to ar
range precinct boundaries for joint
for the city clerks. The attorney gen?
eral has received inquiries from many
I
different sources on the subject. In
his opinion today he points out that
leXisting laws are sufficient to meet
the situation until there can be further
legi5a len. He says:
"To my mind there is absolutely no
doubt but what the constitutional
amendment requiring the election or
city, town and state Officers at the
same time is self-executing so far as
it relates to the time of holding sucn
elections.
"The law of the State, at the time
the constitutional amendment was a.
dopted, au horized ans does now autho'
izc the county cOuIts Of the State to
divide their respective counties into
convenient election districts, and to
designate the polling places therein.
cities and the counties have a right 20
maIe their election precincts coter-
minous. In many instances the bound
aries Of county voting precincts within
the incorporated municipality and the
boundaries of the city's voting pre-
cnets are the same. In all such in
cities and towns elections
can be held at the. same time, at the
same voting places and by the same
election officials.
cit is tue, as set forth in the com
from the county clerk, that
there is no law directing the city re-
corier to submit a certified copy OF
the ballot to the county clerk. 1t IS
also true as asserted by the clerk, That
there is no requiring the clerk to
have balloss printed for the city eleo-
ton All such duties still remain with
thc Officers of the incorporated cities
AMI towns.
"The constitutional amendment it
self provided that all provisions of
the charters and ordinances Of sucn
cities and towns, pertain
ing to the holdings of elections, shall
continue in full force and effect, except
50 far as they relate to the time Of
holding elections. All duties such as
giving notice of election the printing
Of ballots. providing of ballot boxes,
together with the proper records for
the Judges of election to make returns
to the city officials shall be performed
by the city 5 officials. Until further
legislation such duties are of no con
eern 10 the county clerk.

tina, the early pioneers had fine eye

He mentioned the fact that even at

She described the sad scenes she had
witnesses in France when the repatri
atcd people. who had become utterly
useless to the Germans, were returned
TO French soil. This included children
and feeble old men and women.
She told how the Germans in the oc-
eupied French territory separated the
people, keeping the boys over IA years
and the girls above the age of l6 years.
She said the Germans kept the girls
over sixteen that they might become
the mother Of a Hun, and that such
mother never returned to France. She
also said that the Germans kept a
mother with one child as the chances
were that such woman would become
the mother of a Hun child. Mothers of
three or more children were not kept
by the Huns, she said.
