No element ' of the people ol this country, or of other countries, would suffer more than the workers from a German victory a German peace. What the Germans mean by a ' "strong peace," a "German peace," was recently expressed by General Von Llebert, a leading ' Prussian conservative. "For us there Is but one princi ple to be followed, and we recognize no other. -. We hold that might is right. We must Know neither sentt ment, humanity, consideration, nor . icjompasBion. We ntust have Bel- Slum and the north of France. France must be made to pay until she Is bled white. We must have a strong peace." Mr. Gompers spoke well for American labor when he said: . . "The republie of the United States Ib not perfect; It has the im perfections of the human but It Is the best country on the face of the earth, and! those who do not love It enough to work for It, to light for it ere not worthy of the privilege of living In it. "I say to the kaiaor, I sny to the Germans, In tho name of the Ameri can labor movement: You can't talk peace with American workers; you can t talk peace with us;' you can't talk to us at all now. We are fighting now, Either you smash - your kaiser autocracy or we will smash it for you." The worklngmen of America have a tremendous Interest to serve, vital cause to defend, a work of sur passing importance to accomplish. What is vital to them is vital to America and to the world. That they see their duty and the great moss of them are performing it with unlm peachable loyalty is a cause for con gratulation to the nation and to the world. i . ; WORDS AND DEEDS. (By Walt Mason, our old Kansas friend, who ninde verse pay.) I may use language till I make Demosthenes look like a fake. I may rear up some nine feet high, and toll how I would bleed and die, it I were not so old and gray and crlppledi -up and full of hay. I may denounce the foreign foe and tell now gladly I would go to wield a shotgun In the Bcrap and shoo the kaiser off the map; but If I think more of my wad than of my country and my God, the things I say won t cut much grass; my words are mere ly sounding brass. Our Uncle Sam Is needing men; he's needing rhino by the ton; he can't conduct a high class scrap without a lot of dough on tap. To raise the dUBt he asks all lads to lend him all their surplus sends, to buy his bonds sedurity the safest ever man will see. Andi if I do not gambol up, as gay and frisky as a pup, and buy the bonds till I go broke, my loyal spiels are merely smoke. Oh, boys, most any tin-Jiorn skate can vor,i his jaw bones and orate; most any hick can chow the rag and sny nice things about the flag; but when we coino right down to tacks, the patriot wno s smooth as wax Is ihe who comes, an ardent soul, for Liberty nonas to blow his roll. FRUIT IS BADLY HURT It continues to be the belief of ex tensive fruit growers of the valley that the almost unprecedented frost of the early part of the week has worked incalculable harm to the Industry in this country, and reports from most sections of the northwest Indicate that the cold wave was general.- W. O. Harding, who owns ex tensive orchards at Winstons and In the Garden valley section, stated to a News representative this morning mac in ail probability Bartleit pears were damaged 76 per cent, and tfther varieties entirely done for in his orchard at tho former place. Other orchards at Winstons were also bad ly hit, according to Mr. Harding. In going over the ground carefully, yes terday, it was found that pears were the worst damaged of any fruit. While petite prunes were found to be Injured, Italians are believed by orchardlsts to bo all right, and un less some unforseen calamity occurs later, tho 'prospect is excellent for this fruit. Cherries were "scorched' to some extent by the freeze, so It Is alleged, and peaches and cream will be mighty scarce In the Umpqua Val ley this summer If present reports concerning the peach outlook prove correct. There may. be plenty of cream, and doubtless will be, but the luscious peach will be lacking, so It is said. Ab usual, however, when a frost strikes down pretty hard, a great many localities escape Its ravages. and bo The News believes the situa tion will brighten up considerable by next week, when the real damage can be ascertained. Mr. Harding also stated that his young orchard In Garden Valley appears to have al most escaped any damage from the frost, and pears there are all right. On the other hand, pears in other orohards In Garden valley seem to have been destroyed.

OAKLAND ROAD CASE COMES BEFORE COUR The question of changing a road west of Oakland has taken consider able time before the county cour yesteraay, ana tne matter was strongly objected to by Oeo. Stearns and others, whsoe property Is efPcct- it appears that a certain hlth- way, leading westward toward Kel logg, goes up over a hill, which rest dents along the road desired -to have eliminated by abandoning the old thoroughfare, or at least establish ing a new way around. The petition ers therefore laid the matter before the court Wednesday. The Stearns interests protested the proposed change, Btatlng that it cuts throuith valuable creek bottom land, including prune orcnard, and separates the greater portion of the ranch from the creek. They object to the proce dure unless surnclently reimbursed ror damages Uione to the land, which is alleged to be aB good as the best in the county. The court not lone ago aecioed not to pay excessive damages for rights of way, but this matter will be Inquired into at length by the oommlosloners and a decision reached later. . A most enjoyable party was hold at the home of Mr. and Mrs. O. O. Jen nings, at 1077 Mill street, Wednes day afternoon, April 3, in honor or the seventh birthday annlvorsary of their, little daughter, Josephine. The hours of the happy afternoon were speetrln childhood games until live o'clock, when the merry children trooped to the dining room and sur rounded the table, in the centor of which reposed a ble cake, the ton of which was surmounted by seven can dles.
