That the mothers of the country will stand together and be a sourco of strength to each other is the statement made by Dr. Kate Waller Barrett of the Mother's Congress. She Insists that the American mother must help the foreign born American mother to understand the reasons for the war. "The foreign mother cannot support her boy at the front, unless she understands what he is fighting for," says Dr. Barrett, chairman of the immigra tion committee of the National Council of Women. "The foreign mother in America, unable to under stand (EngllBh, has come to tnis country to be at peace, and she is left in a chaotic state when her sons are drafted to fight for their new country. She cannot read the news papers, or talk to American women, except through her children as Inter preters, As she cannot understand the reasons for this war, she be comes rebellious, and her feeling is communicated to her son in the trainlng camp." She must be edu cated in the causes of the war. Dr. Barrett urges American moth ers; to feel a solidarity with the Americanized mother of other na tions. "The soldier is dependent upon the feeling in his home for his own attitude of mind." She says. "The Mother's Congress is doing a great work by holding meetings in many cities, to explain war meas ures, and develop the patriotism of the bewildered foreign women. One beautiful thing about living in thd county with the greatest amount of standing timber there will be no one unable to provide the family circle with a Christmas tree. Where the "rub" will come in is gelling something fco put on it. After All Has Been Said and Done, the Great Unloading Has proved a peer to all sales.

Many persons have asked If the money now being advanced to the European allies will ever be paid. The answer is yes. It will be re paid, but just when Is a matter of considerable uncertainty. In the meantime all we lend to Europe is staying at home, for our loans are in the form . of domestic credits which are taken up by the borrow ers in the form of American goods foodstuffs, manufacturers ' or raw material for manufacture. , When xou read in the paper that this gov ernemnt has advanced France or Russia or Great Britain an addition al $100,000, 01)0 It means that the na tion in question has been given credit for , an amount of American goods equal to the loan. After the war these credfts will be summed up and put in the form of bonds, which will be sold to pri vate investors, probably with Uncle Sam's guarantee back of them. The debtor nations will refund these bonds from time to time and strug gle along with them as best they may. It is impossible for any coun try to repudiate its public debt without, wrec,king its entire com mercial structure, for private obliga tions are Inextricably intertwined with national obligations in every country. So vindictive are some people so opposed to any advancement in their home town that they would go to any extreme to accomplish their own selfish interests. If has already been given by the mouth piece of the "walking delegate" of tne opposition to the jail and court house improvements that the recall will be brought into play if their commands are not heeded. The county court has already been threatened) it's pimply a case of either rule or ruin. But the public official who stands on his sincere and honest convictions is neither a demagogue or a coward. It has been a long time since an initial solitary nail has been driven in Roseburg in the way of building improvements and a still longer time will elapse if the public fails to encourage local matters in the way of advancement; Talking about camouflage, when it comes to "covering up the good points connected with the jail and court house improvement some .of the opposition has-these camouflage artists beat a thousand ways and then some. The meeting to consider the 191S budget of county expenditures will take place at the court house next Thursday. It is a public gathering in every sense of the word and yon want to be present if only to see "the Eur fly." The Red Cross drive is on in full swing and she's some hummer, and no mistake. Sale ruing Be Watchful of Quality in War Times. Tree Tea is Today as Always, The Best Quality and for the Least Money FEDERAL BUG- LI A second examination from which to fill the positions of fireman-laborer and janitor-laborer at the new fed eral building in Roseburg is an nounced by the civil service commis sion for February 13, 1918. At the examination held here for those po sitions a few weeks ago, nobody qualified' for a fireman and only one man, Walter Hi, Boyle, passed the test for a janitor. The examination will be open to males between the ages of 20 and 50 years. 'It wilt be non-educational in character. Rating will be given on training and experience, carrying 60 per cent in credits, and in physical ability, carrying 40 per cent in credits.- The fireman job, which calls for experience in handling large furnaces, carries a salary of $720 per year, and that of janitor $660 per year. Salaries in excess of these amounts are paid by the government whenever a fireman or janitor can at tend to all necessary electrical, plumbing and furnace repair work. Although eligible for the appoint ment of regular janitor, Mr. Boyle declined the position, accepting in its stead the job of temporary fireman laborer, thus leaving the janitor po sition vacant. Mr. Boyle will be one of those trying out for the position of regular fireman at the examination to be held in February. He began his duties ns a temporary appointee early this month. A temporary janl- tor will also be placed at work just as soon as the building is occupied by .ie postoffice, which will be during the first week in January at the earliest.

Some of those who were anxious to hear the speaker came in from the country. The lecturer, however, failed to appear, and evidently left the city that afternoon, probably be lieving that few if any would come out to hear what he had to say. Calls came to this office over the tele phone asking if the lecture would be held, and as we had received no notice to the contrary, so stated to inquirers.
