JUNIOR RAINBOWS
OUTCROW REGIMENT;
BRIGADE IS POSSIBLE
Eight Hundred Names Already
Enrolled and Recruits
Coming Rapidly

The Oregon "Junior Rainbow Regi-
ment" will probably be enlarged to a
brigade, and possibly a division, if the
present rate is maintained. it was stat
ed by School Superintendent Churchill
today There are 800 names already list
ed, and more are coming in at the rate
of more than hundred day. 1t is pro-
bable that the first regiment of thous-
and children will be completed this week
and the second regiment started.
1t is believed that the list will prob
ably go well over two thousand before
the drive is over, and a good many of
these names will be reported within the
next week. Many children have passed
the half way mark in their efforts to
sell $50 worth of Thrift stamps, and
many of these will reach the mark in
a few days. Following is the eighth hun
dred names to be added to the regiment:

mish Of the war with the Germans
and "fought like DEVILS"
This was the belief today of army men
here, awaiting official reports showing
the dead, wounded and captured in the
Teuton raid near Toul yesterday.
Out of the snow-swept wastes of No
Mans Land, the picture of American
boys fighting until their guns ceased
firing and then using their fists on the
invaders until their sector was.free, sent
glow Of pride through the ranks of
army men here today.
The German raids on the American
trenches are now almost constant and
of increasing bitterness. Coupled with
Field Marshal Haig's reports of raids
all along the allied front, the German
efforts indicate persistent attempts to
test out the strength of the several sec
tors, perhaps seeking place to drive
the first wedge of their anticipated
great drive, officers believe.
In meeting the shock of 240 trained
troops launched against them-the sew
crest test the soldiers have yet been
forced to endure-they held their own
like veterans, the reports show, gave
the Germans blow for blow and left the
ground before their salient grewsome
picture of the Teuton cost.
There is no longer any doubt whatever
in the minds of officials here that the

The mate s report says:

a perioscope was sighted off the port
beam about a thousand yards distant.
At the same time a torpedo was seen
approaching the Nyanza. The vessel IS
stern was swung clear in time to avoid
the torpedo and the Nyanza opened fire
with the after gun. The submarine fell
rapidly astern, then came to the sur
face, started her oil engines and gave
chase At about 1000 yards the U-boat
opened fire with two guns, using shrap

guns at the same time. This maneuver
caused her to drop astern, but she came

German "big business" is already
building for future wars.
No later than December, 1917, the
Association Of German Manufacturers

of German Metallurgists, with headquar-
ters at Berlin and Dusseldorf, address

the imperial German military command,
demanding the forcible annexation of
the French iron basin of Briey and
Longwy, because of "its extreme i'm
portance for German national economy
and for the conduct of future wars.'
A copy of this vigorously confiden-

1t constitutes the most damning evil
dence that after three and half years
of warfare, in which Germany has sac

Petrograd, Mar. l. Night .-Petro-
grad is facing her "battle of the Mar
ne".
The Germans are three hours from
Luga (100 miles southwest of Petrograd
on the Riga -Petrograd railway which
is only five hours from Petrograd.
The enemy line is in a fan form
Pskoff the stick, and Dno and Ourieff
the wings. Walk is the chief food base
and Pskoff the base of advanced oper-
ations. No movement of the Germans
toward Luga was reported during the
night, however.
Lake Chudno is frozen over. The Ger
mans may find no difficulty in thus
crossing this barrier, dragging heavy
artillery and supplies with them.
Bologote wires that German troops
have fortified Pskoff and begun a
movement toward Petrograd. Russian
railway men have been ordered to de.
stroy the bridge between Bologoye and
Porchovo.
Forces of German troops are reported
moving toward Novo-Sokolni, aiming to
cut the Moscow-Petrograd railway. The
Russians are stiffly resisting.
The Moscow w0rkmen s and soldiers
organizations have passed resolutions
declaring the German peace terms are
unacceptable and demanding continual
tion of the fighting. The Pan-Russian
trades unions have taken similar action
The Germans refuse to cease hostili-
ties before Monday Russian Deacp dele

Island Empire Would Invade
Siberia On Rather In

By ]. w. T. Mason
Written for United Press)

New York, Mar. 2.-Japan shows evi-
denee of trying to rush the allies into
a quick assent to her proposal for in
vading Siberia on an underlined mission.
Today Is United Press dispatch from
Toxic announcing that official circles
interpret the withdrawal of the diplo-
matte corps from Petrograd as tanta-
mount to breaking diplomatic relations,
indicates that Japan wants to go TO war
with Russia, instead of trying to end
Russia s difficulties.
Only for the purpose of serving an
ulterior design can the departure Of the
allies diplomats from Petrograd be
made to imply a diplomatic break with
Russia. Nobody suggested when the
French government moved from Paris
to Bordeaux that a similar migration by
the allied diplomatic corps would mean
diplomatic break by the allies with
France.
Seemingly the only reason japanese
officials can have for taking this
strange attitude toward events in Petro-
grad appears to be a wish ON the part
Of these officials to regard Russia as
formal enemy. The existence OF this
desire in Toxic is a matter for serious
consideration. If Japan sen is a military
