THE PRICE OF FREEDOM rm HE American people have Vi steeled their hearts for a war to the finish. They want no naif way job. They are not counting: the cost in men or money. Proof of this is found in the fact of the univer ral readiness to accept such revenue measures as the gov ernment provides and in the calmness with which we read the daily casualty lists. Every day northwest names appear in the lists of killed and wound ed. But it is all in the game and people so accept it. It would be better for us all to die, for civilization to be wiped from the face of the earth than to endure domination by a na tion with the degraded and bestial ideals of the Hun auto cracy. This is not propagan da, it is the cold and naked truth. The world is at last awake to the meaning of Prus sian aims and it is resolved that Prussianism shall not triumph. America nas become a changed nation r have been treated as vilely as the Belgians is not known. As Luxemburg was too tiny to make even a show of resist ance, perhaps the German op pression has not been so bitter. But whatever has happened in Luxemburg is known only to the Germans and the Luxem burgers. For the rest of the world Luxemburg has practi cally ceased to exist. Attention is momentarily di rected to Luxemburg by the an nouncement that Crown Prince Rupprecht, a widower of fifty years, is soon to marry the nineteen year old sister of the Luxemburg grand duchess. This may or may not be true. If it is true, the princess may or may not be acting in accord ance with her own desires. The Luxemburgers may or may not be reconciled to the German domination and the union of their sovereign's sister with a royal German general. It is all a matter of speculation, but as one reviews the German course since the beginning of the war it is easy to build up a pathetic romance with Rupprecht's fi ance as the tragic heroine. It is especially easy in view of the fact that the six Luxemburg sisters are incomparably the most beautiful and attractive royal females in Europe ; while the Wittelsbache, Bavaria's royal house, are so degenerate that the two predecessors of the "present king were lunatics. ..... A news story says that Gen eral Pershing is in favor of giv ing automatic pistols as well as rifles to the enlisted men at the front in France. It sounds good. The American soldier has already established a rec ord as a terror to the boche. Make him a two gun man and fhis prowess will be all the greater though he may need running shoes in order to catch up with the fleeing enemy. The 18-45 registration day is almost at hand. Post yourself thoroughly as to your duties on that occasion. The East Ore gonian is publishing all the available information and will continue to do so up to and in cluding Thursday. If you are in doubt on any point consult the local authorities and clear up the doubt. Germany is said to have de vised a substitute fodder for cattle but that is nothing new. Long ago a Yankee used saw Our peaceful jdust for horse feed and there people have learned that the was b ut one drawback to the aspirations and principles of jplan which drawback no aouot the republic are jeopardized.! applies equally in the case of They did not come to such a this new Oerman fodder, conclusion until the evidence was complete and unanswer able. They are now convinc ed and this conviction steels the heart for any sacrifice re quired. The cost of the war is the price of freedom. THE HIDDEN COUNTRY INCE the first week of i The fact the reservoirs are being kept filled by the gravity system without the use of river water and before the Chapush spring has been reached is good news.
