State Officials Call
On Local Doctors

Ashland was visited yesterday by
three distinguished state officers who
are touring the state in the interests
OF advancing the health of the army
personnel They were Col. Magru-
der, State Health Officer Holt and
David Robinson, law enforcement
representative of the war department
commission on training camp activi-
ties. In the forenoon a message was
wired to Mayor c. B. Lamkin appris-
ing him of the coming of these men,
and he Immediately notified physi-
clans of the city to meet the guests
in order that the latter might enlist
their interests in the object of the
visit. A meeting was held in the par
lors of the Hotel Austin, where the
speakers explained the object of their
visit, which is to furnish information
concerning the providing of more eff
cient soldiers for the army. They
want ordinances passed in all the
cities working along lines of improv-
ing the health of the boys at home
so that there will be less falling off
of men in the training camps. All
three visitors made splendid address
es, and received the hearty support
of the local physicians, who were
Drs. F. G. Swedenburg, G. w. Gregg,
E. A. Woods, ]. V. Webster, G. O..
Jarvis, Bertha q. Sawyer, Maud l.
Hawley, d. NJ. Brewer and B. E.
Smith. A luncheon was served at the
Ashland Hotel to the company, after
which the mayor took the honor
guests in his car around the scenic
drive, through the parks and the
Chautauqua building and other inter-
esting parts of the city, which were
highly praised by the visitors.

Railroad Asks To
Make Passing Track

An application has been made by
the Oregon & California Railroad
Company and its lessee, the Southern
Pacific Company, requesting permis-
sion to construct passing track par
allel to their present track at grade
over and across North Mountain av'
enue. The commission has made an
informal investigation as provided by
statute, and viewed the site of the
proposed crossing and is now fully
advised in the premises.
From the investigation made it ap-
pears that it is not practicable to con-
struct the passing track over the
highway only by grade A compar-
atively open and unobstructed view
may be had of the crossing from all
directions, and as Mountain avenue
is a relatively unimportant highway
the traffic is light. This crossing Is
now protected by standard crossing
signs, as well as advance warning
signs, and it is not considered that
the hazard surrounding the operation
of this crossing will be greatly in
creased by the construction of the
track.

Lieutenants TooZe and McQuarrie,
the speakers at the liberty campaign
meeting here Monday, addressed
Talent audience Tuesday night in the
school house. A large assemblage

American troops are now reinforc-
ing the British line in France, along
the greater portion of which the Ger
mans are keeping up their strong at
tacks with hordes of men and great
concentrations of heavy artillery in
assaults that now apparently have as
their objectives in the penetrating of
the battle front in northern France
and Belgium.
From the south Of Ypres in Bel
gium to the region of La Bassee, in
France, the new offensive of the Ger
mans is being carried out with great
desperation.
The British, in recapturing Given
chy, made nearly thousand prison.
ers.
The latest German official state
ment asserts that between Armen-
there's and Estaires the Germans have
crossed the Lys river and that north
of Armentieres the British lines on
both sides of Waasteenten-W -Warneton
have been penetrated. Six thousand
British prisoners and 100 guns are
claimed to have been taken by the
Germans in the fighting between Ar
mentieres and La Bassee canal.
The famous Vimy ridge, won a
year ago by the Canadians, is receiv-
ing a prodigious visitation of shells
from German batteries.

Washington, April 10.-With the
news that the American troops now
ere in the battle zone, the blunt state
ment Of David Lloyd George, the Brit
ish premier to parliament, as to the
situation in Picardy, came home to
America today with added force.
Army officers expressed satisfac-
tion that reinforcements ordered into
the fight by President Wilson had
begun to arrive, for the British pre-
mier had left no room for doubt that
the need of them is urgent.
Behind the advance guard other
American forces are moving rapidly
to the front. Figures may not be dis
closed, but it is known definitely that
the rate of departure of American
troops for France is now three times
that of only short time ago.
The increased troop movement
makes interest in the submarine stu
alton acute. There were indications
two weeks ago that the Germans had
coupled with the assault in Picardy
an effort to increase their inroads
upon allied shipping. Officials here
believed that with the situation on
the battle front as Lloyd George had
pictured it, German submarine efforts
would be concentrated against troop

Flag Fall" q. v. Carter presided
and explained the object of the meet
ing and introduced the first speaker,
Lieut.. Leslie Tooze Of Camp Lewis.
This speaker created favorable inn
preston not only from the fact that
he was a native born Oregonian, but
that he was giving his best to the
service of his country, and had re-
turned to his native state to help pro-
mote its former record of Oregon
first in the coming drive before he
left for France.
Some of the citizens have the great
privilege of entering the service OF

Nearly $4,000 Subscribed Over
Required Quota and Still Going

One hundred and twenty-five thou
sand, eight hundred dollars solicited,
and more coming, was the report CIV
en- out at the headquarters of the
Third Liberty Loan campaign last
evening, the end OF the second days
drive. AS Ashland's quota is $103,-
geo, surplus Of $19,60O over-sub-
scribed in two days is record to
cause much jubilation among the
workers, and the citizens of the city
as well. While Ashland has gone
over the top with considerable more,
soliciting will continue until the en-
tire city has been canvassed, which
will consume at least the balance Of
the week. When results are finally
tabulated we will once again have
reason to be proud of our residents
who have never failed yet in respond
ing to the call for aid from her coun-
try.
Not only has Ashland gone over
the top in her subscriptions to the
Third Liberty Loan, but seven out of
the nine cities in the county have
subscribed away ahead of their allot-
ment. Jacksonville heads the van by
over-subscribing her allotment before
the drive was actually started, and
has now the enviable record of hay-
ing practically three times her quota.
The quota of the county seat was
placed at $500, while already $19.-

With the blowing of whistles and
ringing of Bells Liberty Day was
ushered in Monday morning at 7
O'Clock, and the day was made mo-
mentous by the monster parade and
mass meeting which took place in the
afternoon and opened the campaign
of the Third Liberty Loan.
Arrangements for the leading fea-
lures of the observance were COM
pleted and the parade got under way
shortly after 3 o'clock, when the
schools and business places all over
the city closed so that all could par
ticipate. And that they did 80 was
evidenced by the hosts who we're in
the parade, or who lined the streets
as interested spectators.
A light rain began to fall shortly
before the parade started, but Oregon
people are not daunted by such a
slight discomfort as rain when patri-
otic fires burn brightly. and no one
was disheartened or declined to take
part in the demonstration on account
of it. The only difference it made
was that the line of march was cur
tailed somewhat in order to get the
school children in from the wet
streets as soon as possible.
Headed by Uncle Sam" carrying a
huge United States flag, the parade
started from the Hawthorne school
house and marched down to the

Teachers Must Take
Oath Of Allegiance

j. A. ]. Churchill, state superin-
tendent of schools, has announced a
ruling that all school teachers in
signing contracts in Oregon must sub
scribe to an oath of allegiance to the
United States. The oath will be SINH
lar to that taken by all government
officials. Several unpatriotic teach
ers in the state recently caused diff
culties in the communities in which
they are teaching.

ESQ have been subscribed. Rogue
River has also gone far over the top,
having subscribed $4,000, against
400 Of her quota. Talent has sub
scribed s1O,500, with a quota of $6,-
500; Gold Hill $4,000, with a quota
of $4,000; Butte Falls $4,000, with
quota of $4,100, and Eagle Point
$1,000, with quota of $1,000. Med
ford and Central Point are the only
sections in the county that have not
reached their quota up to the pres
ent. According to last nights re-
ports, Medford had subscribed $1l0,-
900 of her s233,0OO, and Central
Point $10,500 of $4,000.
During the afternoon yesterday,
when reports came in that Ashland
had reached 100000, reports came
in from Medford that this sum was
exactly duplicated by that city at the
same time. Ashland, however, con-
tinued to work throughout the bal
ance of the afternoon, and when the
teams reported at headquarters at a
late hour, Chairman E. v. Carter
stated that the sum of $122,S0 was
rather under than over the amount.
The committee in charge of check
ing up the returns of the teams have
been so busy that lists of subscribers
can not be obtained yet, but later the
honor roll of Liberty Loan subscrib-
ers will be made public.

outcome this spring and summer.
While there has been no informa-
tion to indicate any increased men

ed falling off in the sinkings of Brit
ish ships last week and the present
week was interpreted in some quar-
ters to mean the diverting of the
U-boats to the transport lanes.
