ALABAMA SOLDIER GIVES
OREGON A BLACK EYE

There is a soldier, who shall
be nameless, ovtr in the spruce
division in Lincoln County, who
is mot stuck on Oregon. He
writes a letter home and a fell
low soldier gets a copy of it
which he sends to the G. Z. 1t
is really a typical Alabama work
of art ard the context would in
dicate that unless the govern
m5nt takes this spruce division
on a free tour Of Oregon, a lot
Of soldiers are going to go away
with a bad impression. The
lister is a fine illustration of
the blind man and the elephant.
The soldier writes:

The Y. M. C. A. is most gra-
ceous in their praise for the gen.
erous gift Of the officers and men
in making possible the splendid
comfortable tent hut. While the
hut is covered with canvass, the
floor is of heavy substantial ma
terial raised from the ground
sufficient distance to keep at ali
times a closely boarded floor. A
large platform, writing desks,
seats, library racks, constitute
the furniture. Tuesday evening
the place was beautifully decor
ated in green and autumn colors.
Directly in front of the stage,
beginning at the floor and 81 0p-
ing to the front of the stage was
an evergreen landscaping dis
play of moss with vines and
ferns, while the tent poles and
stage back ground was decorat-
ed with maple autumn leaves.
One of the soldiers surpris i
the "Y" secretaries with the
gift of a neat attractive design
with Y. M. c. A. carved in it f)r
placement just over the stage.
The soldier is intending to paint
this in the national colors, which
will be real attractive. All in all
loledo's Y. M. c. A. starts with
the right kind of pep that make,
fer success and the men appre-
ciate the fact that it is here.

500 HUNS FAIL IN PLAN TO SLIP
IT OVER ON OUT.NUMBERED YANKS

With the American Troops In
France. June 29.-(Correspondence
of the Associated Press Though
the American troops have had three
engagements in the Toul sector dur
ing the past three months men in the
division say "there has been just one
fight"
The big raid on Apremont in April
they call "the Apremont affair; F."
they refer to the attack on Siechep-
rey, ten days later as "the Siecnep-
rey thing" but, the morning Of June
16 at Xivray, they say there was a
fight"
This distinction does no wrong to
the defenders of Apremont and Selch-
eprey. The men did their best there,
and that best was as good as could
be expected under the circumstances
but their best then was not so good
as their best at Xivray. That Is the
significance given the distinction by
French officers. They say that It was
at Xivray the men holding the sector
showed they had learned how to dc
what must be done In the front line
Xivray has similar meaning tC
the Germans in that sector II the evl
dence Of prisoners may be trusted

BRITISH BOMBING
DOES EFFECTIVE WORK

London, Aug. 15-One of the most
significant features of the aerial
bombing offensive of the British is
the loud response it has elected from
the German people, say British news
papers.
The bombing of England brought
no complaint, but only renewed reso-
luton from the British people; yet
Germany, suffering from the first
preliminary pangs of the British at
tacks, at once began to cry out
against 1t, and protest upon protest is
pouring into the German authorities
from the populace of the different
areas attacked.
This means that the British bomb
ing offensive is effective. that far
reaching destruction has been caus-
ed to railway functions and factories,
and that the German claim that Brit
ish raids have accomplished nothing
serious have been untrue.
Details of the damage caused by
the British raids can easily be sup
pressed by the German censorship
but the voice of the German people
cannot permanently be stifled, and
1t is asserted there is abundant pho
tographic and captured documentary
evidence that their fears are based
upon real execution done.

out by express at night and in the
morning was placed in Portland

of the Rogue River Orchard company
stated that the price received was
$50 per ton, and although the crop
was light, owing to late frost, the
company shipped 10 tons.
This company is now picking pears

Mexico City. Aug. 15.-Replying to
protest from Great Britain against
provisions OF the oil decree Of Feb
ruary 22, which was declared to be
confiscatory and in violation of the
rights OF English companies holding
oil claims. the Mexican government
has declared that It does not recos-
pize the right Of any foreign govern.
ment to protest against DEGREES OF
this nature.
1t holds that the Mexican govern
ment is free to adopt such fiscal leg
islation as is necessary. 1t suggests
that recourse to the courts would be
the proper method Of determining
whether the oil land decree is un-
just and confiscatory.

without dugouts to shelter them held
their grounds on the right OF the po-
sition through heavy artillery pre-
paration and kept the enemy from
bringing up reinforcements through
out the fight. Meanwhile, in the GEN.
ter at Xlvray and on the left, the ma
chine gunners did the rest.
The enemy's plan according to
prisoners, was to force the village,
destroy the defense works, make the
place untenable and take prisoners.
The effort was we'll organized and
might have succeeded but for the
work Of the quick-firers
Six hundred men advanced to the
attack in no less than dozen differ
ent columns, led by two hundred
picked Bavarian storming troops.
They came up on the right flank, on
the left and on the center under COW
er of smoke, making dark night
still darker. They crept up the ra-
vines and slipped through the. hol.
lows. The sharp ears OF sentrics
alone prevented total surprise.
Their guns laid down heavy bo,
barrage that prevented the reinforce
ing Of f'the front line. One platoon
led by Lieutenant Doan, from Maine
got through the first, curtain of fire
Doan even went through the secont
with some volunteers, but that wa
all the help that could be sent to tn,
225 men that were holding the lin,
attacked. They We're only one I,
three but they fought in way to SUR
prise and dismay the 600 Germans.

81 AMERICAN DIVISIONS
FIGHTING IN FRANCE

Washington. Aug. l5,-ln conncc-
tlon with the announcement OF the
formation in Fracc OF the first AM
erican field army Aug. 10. General
March. chief OF stan, today disclosed
that there were then 81 American
divisions In France and the field
army included approximately 1850
900 men.
II Is assumed that General persh-
Ing has taken over his own stan as
the stan OF the first field army. In
that case. Major General James w.
McAndrew Is the chief OF stan both
OF the army and OF the American ex-
peditlonary forces.
The chief OF stan took occasion to
frown upon the name Sammy" for
American troops. No American SOL
der In France approves the use OF
that name. he said. nor do either the
French or British understand why
big. strong men like the Americans
should be tagged with such a nick
name. The British soldiers call their
Americans comrades "Yanks."
General March said no American
troops had landed In Siberia as yet.
