HOW VICTORY AT
CHATEAU THIERRY WAS
WON BY AUTO TRUCK

The victory at Chateau Therry-
that furious engagement which turned
the tide of the war forever in favor
of the allies-was made possible
through the performance of a single
motor truck. How this came about -
related by Captain Guy A. WhitcOmb,
of the motor transport corps.
THE marines, who We're smashing
the last German offensive, were run
ming short of machine gun ammuni-
tion,' said Captain Whitcomb. "Their
commander telephoned back for more.
The motor transport commander
called for volunteers from among his
ninety trucks-and every driver vol
unteered.
HE chose four, loaded the trucks
with $4,000 rounds apiece of machine
gun bandoleer ammunition, and they
set out-four trucks made in Detroit.

CAN'T TAKE MANY

Because a tire is new and can
stand more than an old one is no rea-

of from 100 to 300 pounds that oc-
Cured many months ago is often to
blame when a tire breaks instead of

Watch the wires where they fasten
to the lamps, as the motion of the
car makes them sway and may cause
a break or short circuit. A piece of
tape wrapped around the wire and
the plug that enters the lamp socket
will reinforce the wire and prevent
trouble.

STATE LIME PLANT IS
CLOSED FOR SUMMER

c. w. Courtney, superintendent of
the state lime plant near Gold Hill,
accompanied by Mrs. Courtney, left
this morning by automobile on a
trip through Douglas and Lane coun-
ties In the interests OF the lime out
put. The plant has been closed
down until about September 80,
when deliveries OF lime are to be
commenced As the plant requires
a total OF 90 men for its operation,
Mr.. Courtney says 1t is important
that there should be shipped at least
one car of limestone each day in or
der to reduce overhead expense.
County Court May Retail Lime
Ground limestone may be supplied
by the county courts of Oregon to
farmers at cost. Procedure is eX-
planned in chapter 11S, session laws
1919 as follows:
On petition of so or more farm
owners OF the county the court must
order at least one car lot-S0 tons
from the state plant at Gold Hill.
The lime will be stored in suitable
place and sold to farmers for cash
sufficient to cover all costs. These
costs are $3.50 per ton in car lots
at the plant, freight charges of 50
per ton to SaIlem-other points in
proportion-and handling and stor-
age unless provision is made to have
the car unloaded by the farmers into
their own wagons. II stored the cost
to the farmer will be about S. pei
ton at Salem and other points like
distance from Gold Hill.
The advantages of this plan are
that farmers can get lime in less
than the minimum car lot from the
plant. and by having 1t stored car
reduce the cost of hauling home b,
! taking back load of lime with then
whenever they haul load of farm
produce to market
The law mentions the fact that tn,
plant must be kept running full ca
pacity in order to produce grounC
limestone at lowest cost. This plaI
OF distribution will thus help keel
down the cost and also supply. lin,
In quantities suited to the farmer
needs.
All orders should be addressed t,

BELIEVED ADOPTION OF PEACE
COVENANT COULD BE
GUARANTEED
INTERPRETATION TO4 CLAUSES
Immigration and Imposition OF Du-
ties TO Remain Questions Of
Domestic Policy

Washington, July 2S.-That the
adoption of the league OF peace cove
nant by the United States might be
guaranteed by the addition OF num-
Der Of reservations to the instrument
of ratification, is the opinion OF
Charles Evans Hughes, as expressed
by him in a letter to the Honorable
Frederick Hale, of the senate body.
Mr.. Hughes told Senator Hale, of
Maine he feared the senate would
fail to ratify the peace treaty with
the covenant as at present, and he
said, there is plain need for a
league of nations
Mr.. Hughes believes that four
clauses OF the covenant need the
addition of reserving or interpret
ing statements, which would remove
the United States from danger in
case Of ratification. IL the statements
we're attached to the instrument it,
SELF Article |, which provides for
the withdrawal of a member; article
XIV. which deals with phases Of the
Monroe Doctrine; and article x,
which provides for war against ex-
ternal aggression" should be furth-
er qualified before ratification. he
says.
AS to the possible reservations
themselves Mr.. Hughes wrote as fol-
lows:
First: That whenever two years
notice of withdrawal from the league
of nations shall have been given. as
provided in article of the covenant
the power giving the notice shall
cease to be member of the league
at the time specified in the notice,
notwithstanding any claim. charge
or finding of the non-fulfillment of
any international obligation or any
obligation under said covenants;
provided, however. that such with
drawal shall not release the power
from any debt or liability Heretofore
incurred.
Second: That questions relating
to immigration, or the imposition OF
duties or imports where such ques-
tions do not arise out of any interna-
tinal engagement. are questions OF
domestic policy, and these and any
other questions which according to
international law are solely within
the domestic jurisdiction are not to
be submitted for the considerations
or action of the league of ations or
Of any of its agencies.
Third; That the meaning of ar
ticle XXI of the covenant OF the
league of nations is that the United
States Of America does not relinquish
its traditional attitude toward pure
ly American questions, and is not re-
quired by said covenant to submit its
policies regarding questions which It
