German Leader Has Gained
Very Little by Great
Sacrifice of Life
By j. W. T. Mason
eUnited Press war expert)


New York, June 14.-General Foch
has inflicted ON Won Hindenburg the
most serious German defeat of the
year. The German general staff has
checked Hindenburg infuriated sac
qifice of German man power for futile
territorial gains, and the fourth phase
of the German offensive has been
brought to a dead step.
From Montdidier to the forest of
Villers-Cotterets, where the offensive
has ragged with the roads to Paris as
its objective, General Foch is as Sc
cure as before the offensive began.
The small areas sold to the enemy for
50 heavy a price in blood do not i'm
prove Hindenburg's position to any
serious extent. Nothing has passed in
TO German possession that is well worth
the dead toll exacted in advance.

of the latest German drive cannot fail
doubly to impress the German popu-

COUNTY WILL PAVE
Three TO five MILES
Road Program Light---Some
Hard Surfacing On Silver
ION Road

County Judge Bushey says the road
building program this year in the way
of hard surfacing, is not an extensive
one. He says there will be from three
to five miles hard surfaced this year
and that most Of this will be done on
the Salem-Silverton road. The regular
road work is if anything above the
usual amount rather than below it.,
but even this will not go very Var to-
ward perfecting the county roads on
account of the tremendous wear due
to automobile travel. He says that
since he went into office six years ago
the travel on the county roads has in
creased more than six times and that
this is due entirely to the coming Of
the auto. Where farmer used to drive
to town occasionally, now he cranks
up his auto and goes visiting Of even
ings travelling from ten to fifty miles.
He says that an old fashioned gravel
ed road that under the old travel
would have lasted for years, is now
worn full Of chuck holes in single
season. The auto travelling rapidly
whirls the dirt up in the air and it is
carried off the right of way by the
breeze caused by the swiftly travelling
auto. While he did not make any state
ment concerning it, it is apparent that
he believes the only solution of the
problem is hard surfaced roads. Lq
this he is no doubt correct, for there
is nothing else in the road line that
will stay put when the autos hit it.
1t was expected some work might be
done this year on the river road, but
outside Of the usual district work, this
will not be done this year.

cd on the extreme wings of the present
battle front, which includes all the Oi Sc

FORD'S CANDIDACY

Pledged to Support Policies
Of President

Washington, June l4.-Henry Ford s
decision TO run for the United States

political situation in congress.
Ford, classed in the past as a re-
publican will run on non-partisan
ticket, already endorsed by the demo.

be to support the president.
Republican leaders here say that
Ford, if elected, probably will take his
seat on the republican side of the up
per house, while voting with the demo-
cratic side. His liberal policies, par.
ticularly in industrial questions will
inject an element into the senate that
promises to develop new and interest
ing debates. Ford is aligned strongly
with the president on post war recon.
struction ideas. Some hint CT his pro-
