GERMANS RUN LIKE
SO MANY RABBITS
TAKEN IN ADVANCE
YESTERDAY AND WITH 1T
5000 PRISONERS AND GUNS.

LONDON. Oct. 9-The city of
Cambria has been captured by the
British. Here and elsewhere S0Oe
prisoners were taken in yesterdays
fighting.
Field Marshal Haig announced the
the capture of this long resisting Ger
ment.
PARIS, Oct 9.-Nearly 10000
Germans were taken prisoner yes
terday by the allied forces in the
fighting along the various fronts of
/ the battlefield, says Marcel Hutin in
the Echo De Paris today. The Ger
mans. he adds, are hurriedly evacu-
ating the Argonne forest The bat
tie is continuing.
French troops attacking last night
southeast of st. Quentin. captured
the German defenses between Harry
and Neuville-St Armand and drove
past the latter town on the north.
today's official statement by the war
office Announces.
Attempts by the Germans to recap
ture the positions gained yesterday
were repulsed with heavy losses to
the enemy.
WITH THE ANGLO-AMERICAN
ARMIES NEAR ST. QUENTIN. Oct
9.-There is great confusion within
the enemy lines. On the front of the
two British armies. elements from
Twenty-Five enemy divisions have
been identified along the twenty
mile fighting line. Such concentra-
tion of troops seems almost incred-
ible but some of these divisions have
been engaged almost continuously
since August s and many are mere
shadows of the old organizations.
The ground over which the great
battle has been fought is covered
with dead men and horses. Many Ger
mans are buried under tons of earth
in collapsed dugouts. Only few OF
the prisoners captured had heard OF
the Austro-German plea for an armis-
tice and their ideas on the subject
were extremely hazy.
From all sources it is learned for
virtual certainty that no formidable
wire barriers are ahead of the Brit
ISL anu uulll tHt
ciennes line is reached and after that
the line of the Meuse river.
LONDON, Oct 9.-G:15 D. m -
The British advance along the battle
front between Cambria and ST. Quen-
tin is proceeding very we'll today all
along the line. There is not so much
resistance by the Germans as there
was yesterday. This probably is dus'
to the Germans having retired during
the night.
In the American sector OF this
| front, the Germans are resisting very
strongly. The American losses. how
ever. have not been heavy. The to-
tai American casualties is less than
half the number of Germans taken
prisoner.
LONDON. Oct. 81 D. m. Ger
man troops today are counter attack
ing very heavily on the Suippe river
front in the Champagne and the
French have not been able to make
very much progress.

RESCUE OF YANKS
THRILLING EXPLOIT

WITH THE AMERICAN FORCES
NORTHWEST OF VERDUN, Tues
day, Oct. S.-Haggard and nearly
famished, the men of the lost" bat
talon rescued Monday after having
been surrounded for more than four
days in the Argonne forest, are now
recovering from their narrowing ex-
perience.
The men had subsisted partly on
oak leaves, and many units were so
depleted by weakness that wounded
men had to take turns at guard duty.
Vet they cheered as they drove back
the German forces surrounding them.
When they reached the American
lines they were white and exhausted,
but were infinitely proud of their
gallant stand. Major Whittlesey was
in command of the battalion. A sec
ond lieutenant came out with eight
cen machine gun bullet holes in his
clothes, but without scratch. He
had one bruise from bullet which
had killed a man behind him. A
machine gun fired at this lieutenant
from distance of thirty feet and the
lieutenant gas mask was cut away,
but he was uninjured.
It was just after midnight when
the news reached the weary but de-
termined men that help was coming.
The rescuers rushed on through the
German lines, breaking one enemy
defense after another and completed
the rescue. While fresh troops drove
the Germans in wild flight. the tired
heroes of the battalion began to
filter back to their bases. Many OF
the men were suffering from a va
riety of wounds, but most OF these
INJURIES were not serious. They could
scarcely eat when they were served
with beef stew and coffee. but later
improved considerably in vitality and
their spirits are now as high and
defiant as they must have been dur
ing the days when they were be
leaguered in the woods.

NEW FACTOR IN EGUCATION.

Now and then there az 5ears a new
something for schJls in content or
method. which is destined in time to
revolutionire or reshape the work
therein. Such was the introduction
of the kindergarten; such was the
advent of the vocational subjects
such was the teaching of music in
the schools, now so rapidly coming
into the elementary and secondary
schools.
The Junior Red Cross, as a ma
tional organization under the United
States War Department, was formed
slightly more than year ago. 1t
was established as an auxiliary of
the National American Red Cross.
The purpose was primarily to ere
ate among the pupils in our public,
private and parochial schools some of
the spirit of service and sympathy
emanating from the American Red
Cross. This has already been done
beyond all expectations. The Juniors
have assisted in knitting, sewing,
cooking. canning. gardening, purch-
asing thrift stamps. and in conserva-
ton. Pupils have been anxious.
whenever enrolled as Junior Red
Cross workers, to assist in any way
possible.
January 1, 1918, there were in the
United States barely one million pu-
pits enrolled in Junior societies, but
by July /. there were more than eight
million pupils so enrolled The in
terest in the organization is grow
ing rapidly. Iowa u among the lead

illaries, the record July LIST being

rolled. All but nine counties of the
state had reported organizations by
Aug. 18th, several counties having
all schools organized.
a special committee has been ap-
pointed to complete the organization
work in Iowa by special drive. y
extending from Sept. 25th to Oct
25th. By the latter date it is hoped
and expected that every county in
the state will have all of it's schools
enrolled and stand 100 per cent
Every school in the state is urged
also to prepare patriotic program to

annual bulletin Published by the
state department of public instruc-
ton, and distributed to all schools
contains two suggestive programs for
this occasion.
Teachers and others connected in
any way with the schools see great
educational advantage in having the
schools affiliated with this strong ma.
tional organization Civics teaching
and patriotic instruction are much
more easily taught to the pupils
through the activities of Junior Aux
iliaries and the spirit engendered in
the work. All pupils become enthus'
iastic in assisting Uncle Sam in any
way suggested.
In every county there is chapter
school committee, appointed by the
local American Red Cross, to enroll
schools as auxiliaries. A campaign
is being put on by this committee
to reach all the schools during the
drive. Schools may assist the com
mittee by making known their de
sire to enroll to this committee, oil
to the county superintendent. Lee

HUNS BURN BOHAIN.

The Germans now have applied the
torch to the beautiful town of Bohaia
in the general direction of which the
Americans are driving from Fremont.
Marlincourt was captured early to-
day after brisk fighting and the Brit
ish are reported to be well east OF
the town. There has been desperate
combat in Walincourt, just to the
north.
The enemy machine gunners arS
putting up a most obstinate fight all
along the line but reports say the
riflemen appear increasingly anxious
to surrender.
Run Like Rabbits.
The Germans in front of the Brit
ish and Americans today were sur
rendering freely" according to re-
port. On the front Of the Tennessee

chose the other course and ran away
like so many rabbits. -
The British gunners To-Day paid
special attention to roadsides and the
areas between the roads and the ter
rain was churned by an avalanche or
shells The advancing troops found
the roads, however, in good condi--

Yanks Take Batteries.
Late yesterday the Americans cap
tured two batteries of German 1858
with stores and ammunition. They
quickly turned the guns on the flee
ing Germans and fired the enemy's
ammunition after him. Similar Incl
dents occurred elsewhere.
The British Fourth army alone up
to last night had counted $500 pris-
oners and .thirty-five guns, but many
more men and guns remained to be
counted. Some of the German pris-
oners gave their captors fat cigars
and offered to shake hands.

FINS, FURS AND FEATHERS

Claude Thompson, formerly Of Hood
River, who is now located in Seattle in
the fuel business, recently spent a va
cation in Curry county. En- route back
to the Sound he stopped in Portland,
and the Oregonian says
"Mr. Thompson says the fish are so
bothersome down in Curry county that
he had to get up in the middle of the
night and frghten them off beating on
dishpan.
Fishermen are not catching as many
salmon trout in Hood river as last sea
son. The scarcity of the big, gamey
fish, it is said, is due to the breaking
away last winter, at freshet time, Of
the dam built near the mouth of the
stream. Hood river flows INTO the Co.
Iumbia over huge bar and the river
is shallow at its mouth.
Cloudy and with a drizzle of rain
falling Sunday was an ideal day for
hunting China pheasants, and it is es-
timated that nearly SO China cocks
were killed by the scores of nimrods
who beat copse and brushy rangesides
from daylight until dark. The pop of
shotguns sounded cesaelessly through
out the day.
Since the pheasant season, which
will close toay opened, many orchard.
lists, who say they lose fine fruit from
shot punctures, have forbidden hunting
on their places.

i Letters From and About Soldiers

The spirit of rivalry among the sol
diers of different units of the Engin-
eerlng regiments engaged in lumber
ing and construction work in France.
IS decidedly keen, according to Sgt. Y.
W GLADDEN., member of the 20th En-
gineers. In letter to his brother.
Geo G. GLADDEN., Sgt GLADDEN. writes .
The only place Of interest is the
mill Week after week we have had
first place in the battalion, but about
three weeks ago the other camp down
the road geared their mill up to a
higher speed and shot our record all to
blazes. We were all pretty sore for
We don I like this other company
worth whoop and it was pretty
tough to have them trim us. The mill
crew wanted TO gear ours up, too, and
so did some of the officers, but Lieut.
lost (of Portlandl IN charge said, No,
they re going crazy over there We
Will stay by our mill as she is, and I'll
wager months pay she cuts more
lumber every 10 siays than theirs, al
though they may beat US on a day S
run.
I'VE stuck and needless to say the
boys gave her all she would stand. and
so did the beggars down the road.
That week our battalion lead every
other battalion in France sin amount
of timber cut with this type of mill.
You would understand how much of a
record that is If you knew how many
mills there We're and other conditions
as | do. The next week, however, the
mill down the road became afflicted
with ali the ills of sawmilldom, while
We proceeded serenely on our way
The boys in our mill had chatfed under
the record against them, SO the other
night after big cut by the day crew
the night shift went out on its own
and when morning came they hung up
a record that will stop those nuts down
the road from thinking they are in the
business. The lieutenant was right
though, for hardly had our day crew
gone to work when trouble started and
we have been troubled several times
since, whereas a week back we passed
a week with but Is minutes shutdown.
1T is now pretty generally admitted
that we hold the limit for this type OF
MILL and claim it is some limit. for
our record day, which is the record for
this type Of mill in the entire regi-
ment, was $1,000 feet from mill
guaranteed by the makers to cut 20, 900
feet per day.
Sgt Gladden's regiment is engaged
in numbering down near the Spanish
border in the forests of the Pyrenees
mountains. In his letter he states
that he would start the next week for
a furlough in city 400 miles distant
on the Swiss border.
