Hun Admiral Says American
Transports Cannot Be
Stopped By U-Boats

London, July 30.--News of the Ger
man defeat in the Soissons- Rhiems sa-
lient is being fed to the German public
in camouflaged alibis. The results are
varied. There is some criticism of the
German government, but the sugar-coat-
ed palavcr of other stories tends to
camoufiage the real effect of the Foell
blow.
Captain Won Bervelde, wearer Of the
iron cross has petitioned the .reichstag
to Immediately arrest and prosecute
those responsible for the war, and has
laid cpecial stress on the work Of Won
5cthmann-H Hollweg, the former German
chancellor, whom he denounces.
From neutral sources come reports Of
what Is being fed to the people of Ger-
maay. One former member Of the Gen
eral staff, in a written article, ex-
plains:

sible losses on the enemy while shorten

"Everyone feels we are fighting to-
ward success on our entire western cam
paign."

1T is false to say that the effective
power Of the French is weakening.

First Bridge To Span River
Here Outcome of Popular
Movement In 1886

This is story of the three bridges
across the Willamette at Salem. The
first bridge was but child of three
years four months and four days when
it was carried away by the flood of
Feb. 5, 1890, The second bridge was
unhealthy and caused a lot of tOuble
from the date of its birth October l.,
1890 to the time it was finally turned
over to the bridge builders in 1917 and
1918. The third bridge, a quarter of a
million dollar structure is the bridge of
the future, and will be dedicated July
80, 1918.

A meeting of the city council of
Salem was held March 6, 1886 and the

Reach Black Sea And May
Join Russians in Fighting

MAY UNITE WITH BRITISH
ARMY in MESOPOTAMIA
Also Seized Armed Steamer
On Volga River--Adyance
In Siberia

Washington, July 30.-Czeeho Sic yak
troops have penetrated to the Black Sea
in southeastern Russia and have siezed'
two Russian cruisers in the harbor OF
Novrostok, according to authoritative ad-
vices reaching here today.
This word is the first indicating the
presence Of the Czecho-Slovaks so far
south in Russia. The opinion was held
at headquarters of the Czech-Slovak ma
tional council that the operations were
those of detached Czech bands who wers
feeling their way southwark in an at
tempt to get to France.
Much importance was attached to the
dispatch as the possibility was indicated
that the fighters might join tho Rus
slams battling the Turks in Trans-Cau-
casia and form union with the British
forces in Mcsoptomania.
A Russian campaign with this objec-
tive was rapidly gaining success when
the Russian collapse came.
Advices state that the guns of tho
cruiser were turned on the Bolsnevik
garrison at Novrostok. Another dis
patch reported the seizure Of an armed
steamer on the Volga river between
Rybunskcin and Astrachani by the
Czech. .Sl0yaks.
The fall Of Viarka, an important june
tion point on the Siberian railway, be-
fore the advancing Czech-slovaks is be-
lieved imminent.
The Czech-Slovaks apparently are
pressing boats into service to carry sup
plies up the volga river toward Viarka
from the western base Of the forces at
Kazan. 1t is declared that the plan Of
the Czechs in this region is to reach
the Murman coast.

Mrs. William Calder VIII TKn
On Lights Paying $3.50
For PRIVILEGE

The weather man smiled on Salem
and surrounding country for the off
cial opening of the third bridge across
the river at Salem and thousands OF
Polk and Marion county people arc
taking day off and properly enjoying
the occasion.
Early this morning, the trumpet
sound announced to the Salem folks
that the big day was at hand And by
9 o'clock, thousands of automobiles
were parking in the business section
of the city and around Marion square.
Auction is Spirited
Promptly at $3.50 clock, with an
audience numbering several thousand,
Charles r. Archerd announced that he
would sell to the highest bidder the
privilege of first crossing the new
$250.000 structure. For some time it
has been known that Henry w. Meyers
had bid 500, but after Mr.. Archerd
had pictured the honor of giving to
the Red Cross and the fame that would
follow the man or woman who first
crossed the bridge, the bidding was
pretty lively.
William Calder of Polk county
promptly put in his bid of $3.50 and
from that time on Mr. Archerd SO well
succeeded in picturipg the glories OF
crossing the bridge, that within a short
time the bidding had topped the $4QO
mark. Wick Bros. were the leaders in
the bidding and when they had final
ly raised their bid to $500, they were
awarded the privilege and of course it
was the famous Fordson tractor that
the coming generations will know as
having first officially cossed the Ma
rion-Polk county bridge.
Later the privilege of turning on the
electric lights at o clock this even
ing was put up at auction. There was
