alongside the infantry and kept their
wires strung at all times to the nearest
command post. During Sunday after
noon the Americans delivered five at
tacks against a hostile trench between
the Terny-Sorny road before the posi-
tion was captured. On the sixth attack
they went over with a rush, cleaned
up all the machine gun nests and kill
ed OF captured such Germans as did
not retire. Beaumont woods, southwest
of Terny7Sorny, was encircled by Am,
orleans after machine guns there had
given bitter resistance. The woods were
then quickly cleaned up.
The Americans in the front line CON
tinued to fight Saturday and Sunday
without hot food. Their last hot meal
was received Friday morning. There
after their movement was too continu-
GUS and the German Smelling was too
heavy to permit the bringing up Of hot
rations.
Among the trophies captured by the
Americans was a German saw-tooth
bavonet. One side was sharpened to a
keen edge and the other side carried a
toothed edge.

May Select Salem For
Next Meeting Place

Salem will be selected as the next
annual meeting place of the Inter
State Realty association of the north
west if the executive committee of
the association will take the advice
of G. w. Niemeyer, who just return
ed from the annual meeting held last
week at Seattle.
The association numbers as members
about 1900, coming from Oregon,
Washington, Montana, Idaho, Idaho,
British Columbia and Alberta. At the
recent meeting Mr.. Niemeyer presented
the claims of Salem as a convention
city and he found the members of the
association quite interested in this
part of the world.
From what the real estate men said,
Mr.. Niemeyer formed the opinion that
very few really understood the won
derful possibilities of this valley and
while they were rather ignorant of
conditions here, they were disposed to
become more familiar with this part
of Oregon.
The executive committee was urg-
ed to consider Salem for its 1919 con
v~ention end it is probable that through
the governor and efforts of the Com
mercial club, Salem's claims for the
next convention will be placed favor
ably before the committee. Mr.. Me
meyer was in conference with Manager
Chapman of the Commercial club to-
day, in regard to sending an official
invitation from Salem and the states
executive,

"Your heart is not in the best COM
dition In the world.
"You will have to ease down In
every way possible. But do not fall

Alas! There was little that could
be done. Within q year the stricken
patient was dead, from the sudden
bursting OF the enlarged arterial tube

In his sad fate there Is lesson for

Had this doomed man Of forty not

he not through immoral intercourse
contracted the germ disease known
as syphilis, his life's ending would
probably have been altogether diff
fefent-and probably would have
been far longer postponed.
AS he persisted thousands of other
men have persisted, from a similar
cause. The syphilis germ lurking In
their system for years has suddenly
sprung into activity, attacking the
heart and blood vessels.
And once syphilis clutches at q
mans heart his chances Of escape are
slim indeed.
"Syphilitic heart disease" says
that eminent medical authority, DR..
Richard Cabot, "gives with one ex-
ception the worst prognosis. The
syphilitic heart does not often surviv0

DLE-AGED MEN, far less often in
women, almost never in children,

These are facts for all young men
to ponder.

with difficulty cured. It's immediate
effects may not be serious. But its
remote effects may involve a terrible
day of reckoning, q sudden cutting
short OF life when life is happiest.

GERMAN DEMOCRACY" AS 1T IS

German dupiicity does not end with
the battle lines. Il extends to diplo-
macy, to trade and TO government.
Il seeks to deceive the Russians into
believing that Germany favors peace
without annexafions and indenanities, -
and, in the same breath, It assures the
junkers that nothing will be done to
limit the conquests Of the sword. It
maintains the l1nyielding autocraCy Of
the kaiser and. almost IN the same
phrase, It tells the German people that
theirs 10 free government.

know that the smallest appropriation

''The most democratic parliament IN
the world"-the phrase is turned with
such calm assurance that the unthink-
ing may be disposed to accept il az q
statement of fact. In reality, it is of a
piece with the whole German policy OF
deception including seH-decepdon.
For tlas most democratic pariia-

mocracy. But the upper house, cor

things makes the bundesrat the crea-
ture Of the governments and sets at
naught the seeming democracy Of the
reichstag.
But this is not all. All the delega-
tons In the bundesrat must vote az q
unit, although the total number of the
votes of each delegation is counted.
This naturally gives Prussia IN advant-
age which 10 made positive tyranny by
other sections of the constitution. For
when it comes to military and, naval
matters, the Prussian representatives
In the bmdesrat have an absolute veto
upon all legislation. If, tomorrow, the
reichstag were to vote for demobiliza-
ton and the majority of the bundesrat
alone could continue the war. It is
the same with all laws affecting the
Imperial taxes. Prussia can absolutely
control these through the veto. And
TO make assurance double sure, the
kaiser has the right to appoint the

Every good soldier is ambitious-to
