W. W. Swelgin Timan who is against our THE ONLY JUST WAY; THE , ONLY EFFICIENT WAY Tt N this county the task with JJ reference to war subscrip . tions is not so much to get the money as to get it equitably so that the burden will be fair iy distributed and hardship ' worxea on no one. it is neces sary to do this because the war may last a long time. We may be asked for money again and again. The giving power of the people must be protected. This requires that so-called "tightwads" come up to their ratings. Over subscriptions are not wanted, particularly from those not in good financial cir cumstances. In planning for its follow up work to bring back ward ones into line the commit tee is right. It is j the only course- possible consistent with justice and efficiency. It is a long steady pull we face, not a spurt, and our money raising activities must be regulated with this thought in view. A court try and by his actions gives aid, direct or indirect to the enemy is not entitled to the rights of citizenship. Judge Wolverton makes the law a thing of life, as it snouid be. Mr. Taft is doing creditable and patriotic work as a mem per oi tne taoor commission: Judge Hughes has shown his Americanism by accepting an appointment to probe the air craft production work. Col. Roosevelt devotes his time to throwing bricks at various busy governmental heads. Walla Walla is having a rum pus over the raising of Red Cross money through a kiss auction staged with the girls of a theatrical troupe as the at traction. The Garden City is still trying to be a wild town and should forget it. The house is right on the question of using grain by breweries. If wheat is so needed by our soldiers that we must have wheatless days why use. it for beer making or for horse feed? GERMAN CHILDREN THE PRICE PAY 3N response to requests for information on present educational conditions in Germany, the Bureau of Edu cation, Department of the In terior, has made public the fol lowing translations from an article by Dr. Paul Hildebrandt in the Vossische Zeitung, Ber lin, January 23, 1918. After reciting the early enthusiasm of German youth for the war, and their activities in behalf of war measures, the article continues: The sixth grade pupils of 114 are now a boot to be promoted to the up per third. They have become accus tomed to tlie war. Who can wonder then tluit now in the fourth year of! war our children exhilrit signs of 'change? Too many of the restraints Vliave been remoied which should shape their development the loosen ing of family tics, like father at the front, tlie mother employed away from home.. and in lite lower ranks of society doing the work of men; tlie Jfe Despain is such a good soldier the Canadians do not wish to give him .up and they cannot be blamed although Joe has a right to fight under the 'stars and stripes now that we are m tne war.

(By Rifleman Patrick MocOIU. Au thor of "The Great Push," Written for the United Press.) LONDON', May 6. The talk In the cafe dealt with the' Germans ano their methods of warfare, and the men who were in tho cafe at that mo ment had Just come back frum the front line. While they were there, their kultured enemy had turned i machine gun on two Hrltish stretch er-bearers who had gone out Into No Man's Land to carry in a wound ed German soldier. Other, similar happenings were re called, and It was then that the old man spoke. He had .been a regular soldier who had fought many battles' and had lived through Mons. Ypres, Loos and the Somme. The old man knew the foe whom he was up against. "If you snw objects lying about you took no notice of then,. Spades, shovels, helmets and souvenirs that were apparently flung uvvay, and al most everything else were murder traps. . I saw a young boy, a rookie r suppose, going up to a shrine by the roadside with the Intention of taking a rosary from tho neck of the wooden statue of the Blessed Virgin "Don t touch that! I yelled at him. Test Discloses Trap. I went up and had a look at ths shrine. Round the neck of tho Virgin the rosary beads were placed, with cross hanging at the end of them. I looked at the back, and thero I saw that the beads were tied round a lit tle pin which was stuck in the wood work. We tested it, by tying a loug string to the rosary and getting back twenty yards into a trench and pull ing the string. The whole shrine was blown to pieces, for wie tugging at the beads had detonated a charge and caused an explosion." He paused. "I mind coming to one dugout without a soul In it. I "Just had a peep In and I was careful not to touch anythljig, for I knew the men had left the place. But another fel low followed me, and as I went up oh the parapet I looked back at him. 'Be careful and don't touch any thing in there." I said to him. 'You know what the Germans are like with their traps." 'I'll only look In.-" he shouted hack and as therewas a long narrow branch blocking the entrance to the door he pulled it aside to have a peep in. Branch Was Tricgr-r. I had Just got away about a hun dred yards when I heard a bang, and looked back to see the remains of that dugout in the air. It vas the damned branch that caused the ex plosion and tho man who looked in ! was klilea- "I saw another fellow dead In one f the houses at the corner of a vil lage. He had lifted a book from the table of the front room, andwhis in some manner sent the tablo and sol dier up to the roof. And In that same house I saw a bucset of coal mixed with high explosives and even the very stove was charged to blow p If a fire were lit in it. Even the chairs would explode if you sat on one of them." Portland Council Works Millionaires PORTLAND. May 23. The coun cil has passed a strict anti-idlers' or dinance.
