WOMEN CALLED TOHElP
IN FOURTH LOAN DRIVE

Tho women all over the United
States are to be big vital factors In
putting the Fourth Liberty loan over
the top" said Mrs. Gunnell upon
her return yesterday from attending
the county convention OF the wom-
ems Liberty loan committee In Port
land.
The Mothers parade. the one spe-
ciai feature Of the Liberty loan cam.
paign Ia entirely In the hands OF the
women. This parade is not the plan
ming Of the local committee. but a
national event planned at Liberty
loan headquarters. and every town
OF any sise In the state OF Oregon.
excepting one, Is 20 have a parade OF
this character or will participate In
that Of nearby town. Portland Is
expecting to have the most impress
sive patriotic parade OF It's history,
and so on down the line OF smaller
cities and towns. Each is planning
to put forth its most eloquent appeal
to the frightened purse strings,
through this wonderful testimony Of
what the women Of the United States
have given to drive back the Hun.
And so every woman and child
that is eligible Is urgently requested
by the national committee--no
merely asked II they would like to-
but most urgently requested to enter
this parade. The paramount order
received Is. "If you have this par
ade, make II a successl Better have
none. than one with half the people
In II to which you are entitled"
Josephine county has never stag
ed q failure In any line OF her num-
erous war activities, and the Moth
er's parade must not head such a
list. SO once more the call to pa
triotic. loyal women OF Josephine
county is made by the government
and the local committee Is confident
that the call viii be cheerfully an
swered by every woman and child
who is eligible.
Those who are asked to join the
Mothers parade are: Mothers.
grandmothers. wives. sisters and
children--both girls and boys--of
those In the service. The parade
will be Saturday evening. Septem-
ber 81 and those participating are
asked to be at the courthouse at Z
o'clock. All bring what service flags
you have. Those lacking will be sup
piled. All will please wear white or
very light dresses, as any colored or|
dark clothes would greatly mar the
effect Of the parade.
"Over the top" we must 60 with
a splendid parade. Let every pa
triotic citizen make It their special
to reach all who should
know Of this event and see that they
are there. Here Is another chance
10 help win the war by helping to
make the Mothers parade wonder
iul success.
Not only are the women asked to
lake charge Of the Mothers parade,
but they are requested to take an
active part In the soliciting teams for
The Fourth Liberty loan. The wom-

England Sees
Doom of Huns
in u. S. POuer

London, June 11.-What the
American forces have accomplished
in France during the first IL months
of their participation in the war is
described in a dispatch from a spec
ial correspondent of the Times.
The Americans, the writer says, are
rapidly completing the longest and
greatest scheme of communication
ever used in warfare.
After fortnight of solid travel"
he continues, 4 am convinced that
what the Americans have accom-
plished will rank in history as one
of the greatest achievements of the
war
For instance, out of the waste
lands adjacent to an old French
port they have constructed a splen-
did line of modern docks where
ships now are daily discharging
men, war material, cars and ma
chinery. A huge new warehouse
system at this point is nearing COM
pletion in addition to motor parks,
cold storage plants and railway
yards with tracks aggregating 200
miles in length. In the car as
semhling shops steel cars are
being put together at the rate of
a complete train each day.
Work is proceeding rapidly on
a new 10000 bed hospital, the larg-
est yet to be constructed. There
also are an immense artillery camp
and a remount camp where | saw
several thousand horses.
There port schemes are being so
well worked out that they are cap
able of almost unlimited expansion
which will be most important in
pooling the allied effort, for the
American base ports may easily be-
come the main reserve centers for
distributing supplies to rail heads
everywhere on the front. The con-
ditions were the same along the
hundreds of miles of American
communications l visited"

WAR SUMMARY

Paying a heavy cost Of lives
for their gains, the Germans
have pushed forward slightly In
the center OF the MOntdidier-
NOyOn line. The lighting Is the
most furious OF any this year.
Along the valley of Matz, the
enemy has made the most rapid
progress, but at the deepest
point has gained but about tiVe
miles, while the wings are still
held intact by the allies.
On the western wing the
Germans have made heavy and
continuous attacks, but have
made no impression upon IT.
The fierceness of the fighting
is increased by the fact that
both sides are using artillery
in great numbers.
French gunner report having
reaped a harvest from the ad-
vanclng enemy columns, now
ing them down one after an
other, as rapidly as they pushed
forward.
Berlin claims 10 have cAptur-
cd SOON prisoners i'm the new
drive since II was launched and
-sOme guns" but admits the re-
slstance is stubborn.
American marines on the
Marine front continue their nt-
tacks. Monday they advanced
In Balleau wood a distance OF
nearly u mile on "A front OF 600
yards.
Increased artillery fire Is re-
ported on the American sector
northwest Of TOul.

Mexico CiUen
q Message by
Pres. Wilson

Washington, June 11.-President
Wilson's address here last Friday
to party of Mexican newspaper
editors, which never has been given
out for publication in the United
States, is expected to be recognized
as one of his most important war
utteranCes. 1t dealt almost wholly
with pan-Americanism by agree
ment among the pan-Americans
and it was obvious the president
took the opportunity to send back
TO the Mexican people through 80 or
more representative newspaper
editors a personal message to en-
phasize the disinterestednesS of
the United States in all its part OF
fight for world democracy.
1t was the presidents wish that
his speech, inasmuch as it prac-
tically was addressed to the Mex
lean people, should be published
in Mexico first. To that end no
copies were given out for publica-
tion in this country, although it
was sent at the same time to the
embassies and legations abroad,
where it seems to have bees given
to foreign newspapers because edi-
torial comments were coming in
over the news cables today.
One of the objects in withhold
ing publication in the United States
until the speech had been published
in Mexico, as explained by admin
istration officials was that it was
the presidents wish that the speech
itself should first appear in Mexico
instead of brief extracts which
might have been sent from the
United States if it had first been
published here.
The address was printed in Mex
leo City yesterday morning and it
was the intention Of officials in
charge Of the matter today not to
give it out for publication in Amer
leans newspapers. but to let it
come back to the United States
from Mexico. 1t was said that this
decision had been reached on the
presidents wishes.
