U'RKN'. Ara tha Germans a Drinking People? F.dltor of tho Knterprlse: It Is with sadness that I am compelled to write these few lines In defense of myself and my countrymen. It Is possible that at this lima of great affliction and distress to the German nation, while the dark veil of war has covered tholr faces, soma people will make light oi' such a situation, and say: "The Ger mans will win because they are a drinking people?" If this were true I, as a German, would hide my face In shamo before Cod and the world. No! hoBoovcr tells such a story Is not telling tho truth. If tho German na tion will win In his world war It Is a miracle, nnd not because they are a drinking people;" hut because they are a God fearing people. That Godly spirit of loulsn Henrietta of Kranden- burg Is prevailing yet today, not only in tho house of llohenzollern but to a greater extent all through tho German nation. A correspondent says that at this time of the great war, all through Germany, not only nre tho churches filled as never before, but people gath er in open places by thousands, and thirties of thousands, nnd more, and cry unto tho Wrd as their only helper. No! The German nation today is not a drinking people!" It Is a known fact that yearB ago In about every family strong drink whs used; but they had It under control to a certain extent, and kept it there as lung as they could. I myself have traveled through a great part of Germany. I found Wirts and Gesthnuser (rest aud guest houses), hut never have I found place liko an American saloon. In later years owing to the grenth growth of large cities drunkenness became more uncontrolable; nnd Dlsmark said 'Germuny must destroy Btrong drink or that enemy will destroy the Ger man nation." Since that time Maes- slgkelts Verelno (temperenco so cieties) have been organized all through Germuny, nnd that with great success. Kaiser Wllhelm II. himself has not touched beer for the last five years. Ho also tins forbdden the use of Btrong drink of any kind in the army and navy. Yes, Germnny Is fighting Btrong drink as Btrongly as they do any other foe. Are Germans In tho United Stntes a "drinking people?" Not by any mentis. About eight years ago a Deutsche Llega (Germnn longue) was organized at Indianapolis, Indiana. They nre numbered today by the thousands all over tho United Stntes, nnd their main object Is to de stroy strong drink." I nm personally acquainted with a German family of grent influence In Cedar Falls. Iowa. This family owned a brewery at that placo until about forty years ago, when the lady, Mrs. Pfeifer, wns converted in ono of our churches. The next day after her conversion she took on ax and went into the cellnr and knocked the head out of every barrel, and then ordored the hired man to pump out tne ooer into tne streets of Cedar Falls, whore It finally found Its way Into tho Cellar river. About 6ix years ago tho children of that family, In hon or of their parents, gave the greater part or tne money to endow an Old Peoples Home costing one hundred thousnnd dollars; and about six weeks ago they gave another twenty thou sand dollars for a new church at that place. Yes, God'i blosstng is resting upon the German families wherever they help to destroy Btrong drink. There will he hundreds of thousands of German families who will not only- help to vote Oregon dry in 1911, but who will also help to vote the United States dry we hope before nineteen twenty. F.

H' ml-r clalma that ahe helped him upatalra and luld him down nn the bed. Officials Favor Second Theory. The other theory Is favored by Hher- Iff Mana and Acting District Attorney lllcka who spent all day Wedn -kday on the casn. They believe that the majority ol the evidence would prove that Mr. lliirnler was struck with soiiir blunt Instrument while In trd and (hey believe that It Is probable that Mra. Ilernler was the one who J struck him. Dr. Sternberg Is of this opinion and says that the condition of Mr. Ilernler backs this belief. The blood marks under the trestle as well as the hat and pipe ara thought to have been planted there and the story of Mrs. Ilernler framed to f.t In with the find. The fart that the trail of blood Is not distinct In places and where It goes down the track Is straight and not zlg rag as an Injured man would walk. Is used to show that the blood marks were "planted." Pnysician Favors Belie'. Perhaps the strongest evidence lo hack this theory Is the statement of Dr. Sternberg. He says that It would have been Impossible for a man In-Jur-'d as was Mr. Ilernler to climb the steep embankment and walk the 3.10 yards to his home. On that walk bark to Greenpolnt It would have been nec essary for him to have crossed anoth er tresHe, a thing which would have been dangerous (o a well person after dark. Dr. Sturnberg further states that a man In thn condition of Mr. Iler nler was In, could not have seen how to walk even If he possessed the power. Dr. Sternberg Is of the opinion that Mr. Dernier was struck as lie laid lu bed. He believes that after the first blow the injured man raised his hand and leg in self-defense and the sec ond and third swing broke his two fin gers and cut his knee. The Injury, says the physician. Is more of the na ture of a blow than of a fall. The motive for an attack by Mrs. Render is the "quer spells" which neighbors tell her had since a recent Illness. One of her sons passed the house at 8 o'clock Tuesday evening aud he told Sheriff Mass Wednesday that his mother was drinking that evening. Inconsistencies Quoted. Several minor inconsistent points in Mrs. Hernler's story are quoted to prove this belief. She says she helped him climb the stairs and put him to bed on the second loor a thing which would be difficult when It Is remem bered that Mr. Bernler weighs over 163 pounds. The lounge downstairs, where he laid all night until 3:30 o'clock, was not touched with blood, according to the officials, but the bed where he is said to have been from 30 to 7 o'clock Is covered. All the blood on the lower floor Is on a news paper which the officials say could have easily been carried to the lounge. Mr. and Mrs. Dernier have lived in Oregon City for the last 25 years. Mr. Bernier Is employed by the Willam ette Pulp & Paper company as mill wright and Is known as an able and skilled workman. He Is 52 years old. Mrs. Bernier is well liked by her neighbors and has helped them during sickness many times. The couple has three sons, Raymond, of Portland; Walter, who lives In Washington, and Lloyd, of tills city, and one daughter, Mrs. Charles Goettllng. Mrs. Goettllng came to her mother when she heard of the Injury to her father. Sheriff Mass and Acting District At torney Hicks will continue With the case early this morning. JONES TELLS HIS SIDE PORTLAND, Ore. Aug, 22. Fielder Jones, who resigned the presidency of the Northwestern league at the meet ing at Seattle to accept the manage ment of the St. Louis Federal league club, Issued a statement before be left in which he answers the criticit,u-.s made by President Dugdale, of tho Se attle club, concerning the policy of the league executive since he assumed charge in 1912. Jones' statement, In whicn he de fends his actions and takes a few pot shots at the Seattle magnate. Is as fol lows In part: "When I accepted the presidency of the Northwestern lengue In 1912 it was torn with dissensions; games were being forfeited on every side and the circuit was anything hut a credit to organized baseball. "Dugdale's principal objection to my policy of playing fair with ench club and having an equal schedule was tnat it cut into the balance the Seattle club was showing at the end of each year. I could readily see that his obj-sct waa Dugdale posing as the man In control. "When I was elected to lead ihe cir cuit Seattle had . a schedule which called for from 115 to 130 games at home. On all of these the visiting clubs received but 40 per cent of the gate receipts. "Since that time the schedule has been changed, In spite of his eitorts to block the scheme, and now each club has an equal number of games at home, which gives them a chance to break even on the season, with any I kind of a baseball year."

George Nelson Edwards, Pas tor of tha First Congregational Church, Tikes up European Situation. (By George Nelson Edwards.) reace, peace, wnen there is no peace' a calamity has befallen the earth. A war unequalled In murder ous possibilities and In disastrous con sequences has come upon the nations of Europe with the suddencss of a thunderbolt. Quiet fields of Industry are transformed Into shrieking fields of battle; busy cities have stopped the wheels of production ard breathlessly await their fate at the bands of be sieging armies. The world not only looks on, It Is drawn towards the male strom and already feels Its giddy whirl. A sickening sense of loss and impending disaster selzer the heart of the civilized world. A feeling of de pression, of sadness, almost of bitter ness muBt possess every thinking per son as Europe flames into war, says the New Yourk Sun. "Is war then the Inevitable Instinct of mankind and man only a fighting animal?" Are all the peace congresses, Hague tribunals and arbitration courts of no avail before man's primitive love of a right? What baa became of the peace of Europe which armed forces weie guarding so asslderously? Where Is the balance of power which had been so carefully adjusted? How has the European concert been drowned In the devilish discords of warfare? It has indeed been a hollow cry of "peace, peace, when there was no peace." W ho is responsible for this sudden upheaval? The elaborate explana tions offered by each of the nations through their official heads show bow they were not responsible. They Just couldn't keep the peace when the oth er fellow behaved bo badly. But after all the forces that plunged Europe Into war were personal. It was the three heads of her absolute monarchies, Austria, Russia and Ger many that let loose the avalanche. It was their consuming vanity and hurt feelings, their monstrous egotlsiti and sense of power that sent unanswerable ultimatums, and mobilized armies over night. Austria moved on Servia be cause the imperial family had suffered and the autocracy of the House of Hapsburg was considered imperilled. The aged emperor cannot live long and it was necessary to strengthen the ! unity of Austria and Hungary, as i the throne is about to pass to a weak heir. Austria knew that she had the back ing of the kaiser when she undertook to suppress Servia, for already In 190S he had warned off any interference when Austria In violation of a sacred treaty had annexed the Servian prov inces of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The czar could not endure Austrian ag gression against his friend Sorria. Hence the imbroglio. There was no real peace lu Europe. It was rather a "watchful waiting" for war. For twenty-five years everyone of the great powers at enormous ex pense has been increasing Its arma ments to keep the peace until armed peace bad become more expensive than former wars.

If we are going to fight let ui flgbt now for we are well prepared. Armies mobilized In day up to hun dreds of bousands, and fleets, cleared for action, put to sea over night with orders to capture or annihilate the en emy. So well were they prepared to keep the peace! It is only when a little power strikes at the royal bouse of a monarchy that the bl guns are unllmbered and when the majesty of thrones are threatened that the nation's honor Is at stake. "Conscience dies under armor plate." Armed nations are like dead automations until galvanized Into activ ity In fearful self-defense. Nations are well defended when they are at peace with one another, but archaic systems of government based on me diaeval Ideas of divine right of kings and the ownership of nations by cer tain royal families need artificial sup port from armed force. It is neces sary to divert the democratic minded by visions of military glory and In flame the popular heart with bogie of fear of other races or with a passion for revenge for injuries Inflicted upon former generations. The national spent or tnu country Is as broad as the races which compose it and its government rests on the con sent of all who can be Intelligently concerned in its affairs. Hence the conditions here favor the growth of a new kind of patriotism which Is first of all humane and believes that the Golden Rule should be applied to all nations as well as to individuals. Europe cannot ,yet see clearly on that point There the demand for ex clusive privilege of race or rank takes the precedence. Not yet Is It clearly seen that an open door fcr all is all that is really needed for the prosperity of all. National greatness that rests on the theory that the prosperity of one nation can only be secured by the exploitation and injury of others is not a Christian basis. That it Is not, U evident in this awful war where the Is sue has been made that one civiliza tion can only exist by the subjugation if not the obliteration of another. It is a war against democratic civiliza tion In Iha nimA nt olltnnrn.v Thft la8t Europe&n pow5r t0 enter the I fray wag Brita,n( the m08t democrattc of all, moved finally by her determina tion to uphold the violated rights of Belgium which she had guaranteed. She is allied with the French republic in reluctant arms against imperial ag gression. We cannot predict the outcome, but the fact that the war exlBts at all Is a fearful Indictment of the order of so ciety that puts in the bands of three men the power of life and death over millions of men and which gives them the righ to decree ruin to modern in dustry and woe to homes innumerable. The wickedness of war is being driven home to the consciousness of the race. Nations do not really hate one another.
