BAD NEWS FOR GERMANY.

Tomorrow more than thirteen million Americans will
register for the draft to fill the armies necessary to put

against them but the leaders will know it and they will
realize more than ever that America in the fight to
stay until Prussianism and mtarsm and their attend

registration of thirteen million will show them the
potentiaes Of the United States are immeasureably
greater than they even dreamed of when they issued their
defiance and entered into the ruthless submarine war
far.
1t is notice to the Prussian military party that they
must prepare to meet army Of live million Americans
on the western front next year. 1t is estimated there are
now 250O000 German soldiers this 'front.' and 1t is
rretty evident that Germany has further resources

American army alone the western front will outnum-

at home from which she recruit her armies there
hut one source left from which she draw any strength
and that is from her armies other fronts She will
have to bring her soldiers from Russia and Rumania and
to do this she must sacrifice alb she has gained there and
see Russia again free from her armies and her influence

BACK WHERE THEY STARTED.

Apparently the Germans have concluded to make a
stand along the old Hindenburg line or as near as al
lied occupation Of the same will permit That this will
cause slowing up of the allied advance is certain but
the question is whether it is to be oy temporary slow
ing up or permanent check The rovemens OF the next
week should settle this point Time was when the Ger
mans as well as the allies had the notion this line was i'm
pregnabe but when General Byng attacked it last year
and unexpectedly to both himself and the enemy broke
through and swept over twelve miles of territory beyond
it, this myth was disposed Of True owing to the lack
of unity Of action among the allies Byngs advance was
not backed up and his forces gain swept back but
he smashed the line just the 1t is claimed by mill
tary that the Germans were beaten at that time had
this drive been properly followed up and it is even assert
cd some of the German leaders admit this Anyway Byng
demonstrated the line breakabc for he broke it. 1t
is possible that this task will fall to the lot Of the Amer
cans if Foch continues his attacking policy and that it is
for this the American forces have been gathered under
Pershing and held back less during the recent
fighting One thing is and that if the Americans
break through the line Byng did, they will stay
through. They will remain "put."

Commission Upheld
By Court Decision

In connection with suit for in
junction brought by the Baker White
Pine Lumber Company against the
Sumptcr Valley Railroad company,
Judge Gustav Anderson of the circuit
court for Baker county has given a
decision that the % per cent increase
in freight rates granted the railroads
by the government railroad administra-
tion does not apply now to the short
hnc and branch roads in this state
which have been released from govern
men control.
A copy of the decision has been re-
ceived by the public service commits
sion and it upholds entirely, Chair
man Miller points out, the position
taken by the commission.
On all roads which have been re-
leased from government control the
freight rates must automatically return
to what they were before the govern
ment took over any of the roads,
points out Chairman Miller.
In the suit in Baker county Judge
Anderson did not grant the injunction
prayed for as he held that the lumber
company had remedy through the
public service commission. The com
mission has referred he matter to the
attorney general for advice as to what
action it should take to see that the
Sumpter Valley railroad company does
not charge the 25 per cent increase in
rates
The roads in this state under govern
ment control, aud to which the 25 per
cent increase does apply, are the South.
