Moreover, aside from the chemical indus try, there is not a single large industry in which we did not excel Germany in time of peace. In -a few minor industries she has led the world, but the same can be said of every country. In the large industries, such as agriculture, iron and steel, cop per, the manufacture of auto mobiles, etc., which ought to .figure largely in the winning of ;a war, we have led the world in jtime of peace. I But up to the present time ,the Germans have succeeded in massing more men on the firing line and in keeping them bet ter supplied with materials than we and our allies have succeeded in doing. There is only one reason for this. The Germans are not doing any thing else except make war. They are not dissipating their energies. They are not wast ing their man power in the pro duction of things not needed for the war. 'Tff HE view of a long harcn war is the one to take and it is well that our government is moving with this necessity in mind. It is necessary to world peace and safety that kaiserism not only be checked but that it be downed. The biggest blunder of all would be to permit an indecisive war. When whip ped on the west front as he will be the Hun will ask for peace and to that end will be willing to get out of Belgium and out of France. He will be satis fied if he is allowed to grab what he wants in Russia and is allowed to retain a militaristic! government so that prepara tions can be made for further warfare when the Slavs have been assimilated to the extent that Russian manpower can be used as cannon . fodder. The allies cannot afford to make peace on a basis that will re quire them tt go armed to the teeth forever afterwards. Bet ter to fight it out now once and for all, fully ending the pirati cal German theory that only might makes right and that covenants of honor are "scraps of paper."

Carver, pro fessor of economics at Har vard. Her workmen are no more skillful than ours, her technicians are no better train ed, her inventors are not so in genious as ours. She has got ten most of her inventions from i THE CRITICAL PERIOD HE war is now in the most critical period hitherto reached. Our pn pm v re alizes that ultimate defeat is inevitable unless he can win a great victory while Russia, is on her back and America not vet in full force at the front. He also feels keenly the growing loss ot man power and the de cline of economic resources, ac cording to Henry Clews. His position is desperate : his diffi culties in carrying on the war are growing at a discouraging rate, ana nis strength has been declining more rapidly than that Of the allies. This is his last chance. Apparently it is a grapple to the death. If he can break through the allied lines, or divide the British and French, or capture Paris, he could prolong but not win the war. Can the allies withstand the present teriffic onslaughts against them ; or will they be obliged to give way and make their stand behind present lines? The besb answer is the quiet confidence shown at al lied headquarters in spite of re cent reverses. Both France and Britain are making vigorous re newed efforts to carry on the struggle. As long as the allied lines bend and do not break, all is safe. . There is no doubt where victory will ultimately stand; but our help is sorely needed, if only to shorten this terrible slaughter. The quick er the great decision is reached the better for all the world; and for the sake of freedom, justice and humanity this coun try must speed up to a still higher pitch its efforts for pushing the war. llf points, his first visit east since he boarded a "prairie schooner."

Else why did they lay out Main street northwest by soul heast instead of due north and south. and all other streets parallel or at right angles. Now it; happens that the streets of th origlnul town conform exactly with the sun, under the new time system by which the clocks are un hour ahead of the sun. Jn other words, there ia a harmony be- tween the streets of the city and the sun. Many people get their ideas of direction from the streets of the city and few top to consider that the streets of Pendleton, except those on the north side, are not laid out north and south or east and west. Hence, when the sun Is at the noon me ridian the shadows, instead of falling: straight up and down Main are cast at an angle. Now when the clock shows that it is 12 o'clock the shadows fall di rectly up Main street and the sun, to all appearances, is in its prodper place- Verily our 'forefathers were foreslghted.

About 5 In the afternoon, the ad vanced line of the batalllon took shel ter back of a little ridge which pro tected it from the Germans who were only 100 yards ahead. A veritable storm both of rifle and artillery flro whistled constantly over the heads ot the sheltered French bataltlon. Suddenly, from out of the ranks of the Third company, an unknown re servist who had Just arrived that morning, leaped to the summit of the little ridge under which the batalllon was resting.
