DALLAS BOY ENDURES WOB NIGHT UNDER BOCHE FIRE Oregon Lad and Pal Lie Four Hours Before Hun ; Line -Under Fire. DALIAS,' June 23. A few weeks ago newspapers carried a Flory of how two American engineers, sent out on an especially hazardous duty, lay nearly all night in No Man' Land, while Boche suns of all descriptions, from thand rifles to heavy cannon. dropped their missies of d"ath all around them. It was a thrilling tale. Now it develops that one of those heroes was a. Iwillas boy, Harold Pol ing1, son of Mr. and Mrs. D- V. Poling Harold, who is & member of an engi neer regiment, has never mentioned tho Incident to his people In any of his letters, but the word of the ex ploit came through a letter from an other boy In the same unit to a friend of the Poling family- ' It seems that one nigiit young Pol ing and another r.ian were flint out into No Man's Land to cut. barb ed wire entanglements surrounding a listening post.' They had hardly com menced work when their presence was. discovered by the enemy, who opened fire on th spot where the two Am ericans were supposed to be. For four hours that rain of lead and steel was kept up from every kind of a gun at the Huns' command. Back in the Am erican trenches hope was given up for the safety of the two engineers, as it was. Inconceivable that anyone could live In such a veritable rain of deatfl. After four hours of oeascloss firing the Bodies let up and a short time afterward. Just before dawn. Toling and his companion came crawling buck "to their own lines. They were literally plastered from head to toe with mud and filth, which had been splashed over them by the bursting shells as they lay flattened out behind the barbed wire (ence.

Here are a few of the outstanding j letiiures or me preseni miuiary biiu- KeaMohs -Duincmted. 1. The military party In Germany continues t5 dontinate, abaolutely, their government and the conduct of the war. Until the allies score ' a crushing victory. Germany will doubt leH remain obstinate. 2. The great German offensive has thus far failed of its prime object: tne ' destruction of the French and British armies. Therefore." Germany ia not In position to dictate terms. 3. The allies are now. with the help of America, the equal of the Germans on the western front In men. euns and munitions. The morale of the allies is vastly higher. America- food storehouses are keeping; the al- ilea populations trom nunser. pmn there is dire surterlng In tne Teutonic Woi-am to report no formal com countries. . plaint has been made to the authorl- 4. Every day now sees the arrival tra In France of more American troops. I anrt vrv d.v ll see the allks grow I stronger. It does not appear likely, then, that the allies would be willing to end the war on terms favorable to Germany when, by holding on until America gets here "in crushing force-' there will be the certain prospect ot victory and peace on allied' terms. 5. On the other hand, germane would appear to have reasons for not wanting to stirp the war now. The coming of the Americans la such large numbers, of course, la a real menace to German hopes of a great military victory, but. balanced against this is the fact that she has put Rus sia and Uumania out of the wur- Wtth a prospect, of staving off starvation among lis civilian population, the Ger man mtlita,i-y dictatorship undoubted- ly fhtures that its armies can cop with any opposition In the field. 6. It does not appear that the al- lies are able to score a complete mill- j tary victory over Germany. This . would Imply the breaking of the Ger- man line in" the west. To convince Germany she as licked lt would be nccetNry to push her back urroes her own borders. 7. The "crushing victory' over Germany will likely come ut.iy after America haa from one to two mi I He bayonets in the line, and has turned lnKly In the allies' favor that Germany ennnot withstand the offensive the t11i. r- (vrl.ln In make.

VKILE IRES TO SELL TliliFT STOS Lee Save I y, team captain of Echo In the War Savings Campaign is re ported to have encountered trouble, day before y carter day while on his so liciting tour, according to Asa, B Thomson W. 8, S. chairman at Kcbo. According to the reports received in Pendleton Mr. Savely went to a bunk house the ranch of Kalph StanTiefd out from Kcho and finding three men In the house stated his eVand and passed to them the war savings pledge cards. One of them, whose ri1 ma is given as A. Boaner, at once iucamo very abusive, tore tip tho card and throwing the pieoea on I tho floor stamped on hem, ateo attacked tha solicitor with a chair, who stood him off with a knife. Suavely then went to the house and was followed by Bosner who had secured a gun. From there he went to his car and Boaner jumped on the running board, draw ing the gun and threatening Savely, who hit him, knocking him from the car. In falling Bosner caught hold of the steering wheel and caused tha car to turn so that it went over an embankment completely turnh& over and catching Savely under it. Fortu nately he waa not injured. It is said that Bosner has at various tfmea before expressed himself In a. seditious manner. Also that his at tack upon 8avely may be accounted for by trouble between them some two years ago.
