checked in its recent offensive against
the Italian front, is now in retreat from
the Montello plateau to the Adriatie,
and is frantically attempting to
ford the swollen Piave river and save
the men and supplies which succeeded
in crossing that stream. The Italians
are in constant pursuit and are follow
| ing the enemy with devastating ar
tillery fire, cutting to pieces the in
vaders as they attempt to cross the
river.
Pontoon bridges, hurriedly thrown
across the Piave in the opening of the
offensive, have been swept away by the
rising waters of the river or DESTROYED
by the accuracy of the fire of the italian
artillery. 1t is estimated that the enemy
already has suffered losses of more than
| 100000 and with each hour the total
increases, as the Italians maintain THEN
harassing pursuit.
In eight days the grand offensive OF
the Austrians has been turned from al
attack into what promises to be :
rout. The attack, planned as move

For the purpose Of trying TO make
the irrigation service more satisfac-
tory the city, will be divided into TIVE
districts so that each district win get
the full service of the plant upon the
day it irrigates.
The plan is to have the houses which
bear even numbers on the streets irri-
gate only on Monday, Wednesday, Frd~
day and Sunday, and the houses which
bear odd numbers ON the streets irri-
gate only on Tuesday, Thursday, SAT-
urday and Sunday. THIS plan win per-
nit every house to irrigate four days
out of each week.
The purpose Of the Water company
in furnishing water for irrigation is
not to furnish all the water o person
can run through the hose in the six
irrigation hours every day, but to furn
ish enough water to keep the lawn in
condition. To use more than enough is
a waste. We will pump the usual
amount of water and hope to furnish

1t is more than probable that F. w.

president Of the club for another year
especially as he is familiar with the
work The club has been doing IN con-
nection with war services. 1t has not
beeE customary to ask a president Of
the club to serve a second term, but

The war saving campaign has a
three fold purpose. First: to teach pa
triotism and TO put into the hands of

operation in the world struggle for de-
mocracy. A consciousness on the part
of every man, woman and child Of his
or her individual responsibility for
ending the war victoriously for Am
erica. Second: the second purpose Of
the w. s. s. is to- inculeate the habit
of thrift. When the nations very ex-
istence is dependent upon the savings
Of its workers. the purchasing of un-
necessary luxuries becomes almost
reasonable. Third: the third aim in
offering the w. s. s. is to secure from
the sale Of the stamps two billion dol.
lars which congress authorized the see
rotary Of the treasury to borrow for
war purposes. The method thus chosen
is the result Of the demand Of the peo-
pie for smaller investment than is
available in the liberty bond issues. 1t
is the "baby bond" idea for the saw
ing housewife, laboring men and chill
dren, also for persons Of larger avail
abe capital. 1t lis a good investment

MANY MATTERS ARE
BEFORE CITY COUNCIL
LAST NIGHTS MEETING


The city council last evening transac-
ted considerable business including the
following:
Decided that when Alderman Elliott
agreed to rent the city paving plant to
the county ON basis of 7la- cents per
superficial yard paved, he placed the
price too low.
That the city had practically barter
cd, away it's legal rights when the coun-
ell petitioned the public service com
mission to investigate the charges for
gas Of the Portland Railway Light and
Power company.
That circus parades were all right and
that the people Of Salem should not be
prevented from seeing shows, cafnivals
and street parades.
Accepted the resignation Of Alderman
Lloyd T. Rigdon and elected mayor elect
G. E. Albin to fill the uncxpired term,
on motion of Alderman Frank Ward.
The bridge on South Commercial IS
in need of repairs and the street COM
missioner was authorized to buy 100000
feet Of lumber. There was some talk
of cutting down the width Of the bridge
but it was finally decided to plank
it as it now stands.
The city has paving plant that cost
$4,000. Alderman Elliott thought 71s
cents a superficial square yards was
rent enough to charge the county. Ward
objected saying that few years ago,
the county had used the same paving
plant paying Is cents square yard. One
of the aldermen had it figured out that
if the county used the plant 60 days at
the 712 cents, it would owe the city
$500, the cost Of the plant. The street
committee will finally decide whether

WHEATLESS BASIS
FOR MARION COUNTY
No Wheat Flour AT All To Be
Sold After This Week,
Is Order

Marion county will go on a wheat
less basis for ten weeks after the stores
close Saturday evening of this week,
announced +. w. Steusloff, county
food administrator today.
Notices are being sent out asking all
dealers to refrain from the sale OF
wheat flour until further notice after
Saturday June Is.
1t is understood that Claekamas
county will also be put on wheatless
basis after Saturday, making the whole
state of Oregon wheatless beginning
next week.
The bakers will be permitted to bake
ON the COLO basis and logging camps
and hospitals will not be included in
the wheatless call. But two other States
an the union are wheatless, Texas and
Montana. In Texas the new crop is al
ready being harvested.
Bakers will be asked not to increase
their output after next Saturday AT a
meeting held several days ago at the
Commercial club, an effort was made
TO put Marion county on a wheatless
basis but the consensus of opinion
nmong groeers and bakers Of the
county, that rs long as Hoover did not
call for a wheatless nation, there was
no real reason why Marion county or
Oregon should 60 wheatless. The gro
GERS at that meeting decided to put
the county on 25-75 basis.
1T is understood that TINS action Of
Marion county was not satisfactory to
