u. S. NAVAL STATION AT ASHLAND
American ViCtOrS In AlI-Day
Struggle With Huns Near TOul

tinued TO sway back and forth for
several hours.
While the action was at its height,
the commander of an American ma
chine gun company reported to his
chief that all the machlne-gun en-
placements had been shot away, but
that every gun is working like hell"
The attacks were made by the re-
organized remnant of 500 shock
troops who failed to reach the Ameri-
can positions in their gigantic raid on
Wednesday. Their ranks were filled
out by picked men from other units.
The German prisoners, who be-
longed to six different organizations,
said the attack was ordered to avenge
the crushing defeat administered to
the enemy on Wednesday. Five Of
the prisoners were Uhlans, and all of
the men taken were carrying haver-
sacks well filled, as IL in preparation
for protracted stay in the American
trenches, corroborating the stories
told by prisoners taken on Wednes-
day that the Germans had been Or
dered to penetrate the American
third line at all costs.
The American troops, although
tired from nearly six days of infan-
try activity, went into their positions
singing and expressing their pleasure
at an opportunity to fight in the open
in preference to what they term
sewer fighting"
The residents of villages behind
the lines saw the Americans moving
forward and shouted words of en-
couragement to the truckloads Of
smiling men, who waved their caps
and cheered heartily.
French officers have again praised
the fighting qualities and the courage
of the American infantrymen and the
splendid cooperation shown by the
American artillery. Some units Of
the artillery were forced for long
periods to work in gas masks.
An artillery duel which was re-.
sumed Friday night continued with
little interruption until late Saturday
morning.

The battle Friday was the first all
day struggle in which the American
troops have been engaged
Two German attacks, which we're
delivered in force against the Ameri-
can positions northwest of Toul, were
repulsed with heavy casualties to the
enemy, including 36 prisoners left in
the hands of the Americans. Ameri-
can losses were slight.
There was much hand-to-hand
fighting in the open. The American
infantry drove back the Germans
from trenches in which they gained
temporary footing.
The fighting began with one Of the
most violent bombardments ever laid
down in that sector. During the
night the Germans kept up harass-
ing fire, throwing many gas shells
into the American position.
The first attack began at about 6
O'Clock in the morning, and was di-
rected against the French troops on
the left flank of the American forces
in the forest of Apremont.
While this was going on the Amer
ican troops made a counter attack
on the German line, moving forward
behind perfect curtain of fire. The
enemy, driven out of his trenches,
was forced to fight in the open.
A deadly machine gun and auto
matte rifle fire was poured into the
enemy, who offered stubborn resist
ance at first but later retreated to
their second line, hotly pursued by
tho American troops. Desultory
fighting continued for several hours.
The Germans again attacked at IL
o'clock at a point farther to the right.
The American barrage fire cut them
off, but the German officers drove
their men through the exploding
shells until a few succeeded in pene-
trating the American front line.
A counter attack which was imme-
diately launched by the Americans
elected the enemy, driving him back
to his positions. The struggle con-

PaCifiSt Gets Ink
and Feather Coat

When Pastor Taliaferro, a follower
of Pastor Russell announced his in
tentions to speak in Medford Friday
night, he was forbidden by Mayor
Gates to hold a public meeting and
was instructed to leave the city. In
order to back up the mayor COM
pany of vigilantes gathered at the
station to witness the pastors retire
ment, when it was learned that he
had accompanied George Maynard, a
repair man of Medford, to Ashland,
where it was stated they had gone
with the intention of holding a meet
ing. Incensed by the apparent defl-
ance of Mayor Gates authority to
leave the county, party of rs people
came to Ashland later in the evening,
where they discovered the fugitives
at the home of j NJ. Easterling.
According to reports, when the
Medford delegates arrived in Ashland
they surrounded the Easterling house
and endeavored to entice the fugitives
outside. Maynard, it is claimed, re-
sponded to the alarm, and was seized
by the mob, but Taliaferro remained
inside and the doors were locked
against the intruders.
No efforts were made to force an
entrance into the house, but the Wig
ilantes secured Maynard and took him
back to Medford, where, it is claimed,
he was borne to the baseball park
with the intention of treating him to
a coat of tar and feathers.
On reaching their destination, it is
said, the vigalantes were unable to
secure the required ingredients. but
used as a substitute a quantity Of
printers ink, Maynard was stripped
to the waist and German crosses
painted on his person. He was also
with feathers. Maynard
admitted that he had not subscribed
TO the Red Cross or Y. M. G. A., and
when asked if he supported America
Or Germany in the war, he replied
hat he was conscientious objector
and opposed to all war. His general
attitude of defiance, rather than any
1ro-German statements, it is claimed
was responsible for the committees
action. Leaders of the vigilantes are
to have said that their work
led only just begun and that from
low on all disloyal citizens had better
walk chalk and be good, else they
would receive attention.

Registered Nurses
Only Go To France

Many inquiries have been made re-
Gently to Mrs. Frank Dickey in re-
gard TO whether those who take the
home nursing course which she is
starting in Ashland will be called by
the government to serve as war
nurses In response to these queries
Mrs. Dickey has learned that so far
the war department is not sending
nurses aids to France for military
services. The Red Cross is urging
however, that women take the
courses in elementary hygiene and
home care of the sick so that they
may be better able to care for the sick
in their own homes, in order to re-
lease registered nurses for military
duties abroad. As the repeated call
for graduate nurses for military serv-
ice is depicting the ranks, the number
of graduate nurses for home service
is already very small, and it will be
necessary for women to become profi-
cient enough in caring for the sick
to take their places.
Mrs. Dickey has also been asked
where women may enter hospitals to
train for graduate nurses. The fol-
lowing hospitals, with their address,
time of beginning of class, and the
person to whom to apply is given
San Francisco Hospital, San Fran
cisco, May i, Miss Natalie Bow
man; Lane Hospital, Clay and
Buchanan streets, San Francisco
July /, Miss Clara McKibber;
Lane Hospital, Clay and Buchanan
streets, July /, Miss Clara McKibber;
University Hospital, San Francisco,
September l, Miss Mary A. MacKen-
zie; st. Luke's Hospital, San Fran
cisco, Miss Esther Brown; Hahne-
mann Hospital, California and Maple
streets, San Francisco, September l,
Miss Knoles; St. Mary's Hospital
Hayes and Stanyan streets San Fran
cisco, Sister Mary Philomene.
Should women be called upon for
service later on will be de-
cided by later developments, and in
this case the requirements would be
taking the course in elementary hy-
giene and home care of the sick. The
course in home detetcs and first aid
would be desirable also. but not ne
,essity. If nurses aids are used,
course Of 240 hours in hospital will
be arranged later on. Nurses aids
must volunteer their services.

Now that the foul beast tSof Ber-
lin is driven into a corner with
certain defeat staring him in the
face, he resorts to his old tricks of
deception in order to obtain a
brStthing spell, by asking for an
arinistice while peace proposals
are discussed. A leading French
paper says: "The cornered beast
draws in its claws and offers us
its blood-stained paw. 5" The
French know the fiend with whom
they have been compelled to deal
and do not underestimate his
fiendishness or his cunning. The
only answer to be given to any
proposal coming from Germany
must be unconditional surren-
