While the trend of German senti ment is declared to be continuing strongly in favor of dignlng the peace treaty it is becoming apparent that the Huns do not intend to make their attitude officially known with out an effort to obtain more modi fications in the terms.

They also ask ed if the allies would admit Ger many to the league of nations imme diately and limit the indemnity to one hundred billion gold marks and strike out the requirement of the surrender of the former emperor. The cabinet situation is still In a mix-up. Advices seem to indicate that President Ebert vITf retain his office at least for the present.

LEGAL "BATTLE" IS tA couple of local attorneys are seriously considering a duplication of the Willard-Dempsey bout at tho Elk's Fourth of July celebration, as an informal rehearsal yesterday was a decidedly interesting event. The two legal advisors met in the office of a third law dispenser and short ly afterwards entered into a heated argument. Words waxed stronger and stronger until at last one of the beliggerents passed the ugiy word in reference to the other's veracity and immediately the fireworks was "lighted." As a result the scene that followed closely resembled the climax of Rex Beach's "Spoilers." lawbooks, broken glass, wrecked ta bles and spilt blood mingled freely upon the floor.

Beneficial showers occur red, but they were mostly confined to coast counties and the Willamette valley; elsewhere in non-irrigated districts rain is badly needed. The sunshine was generally adequate but low temperatures retarded vegeta tion. Winter wheat, says the fsumniary. continues good to excellent and whilo rain would help the tilling crop east of the Cascade moun tains, tho prolonged cool weather lias been beneficial and prospects ue promising. Barley, oats and the spring wheat are fair to good ; hose crops were improved by rains in western counties, but In other districts are suffering from lack of moist lite. Corn made slow growth. s turning yellow in some localities and needs warm weather for best results. Fruit of all kinds continues pro mising except where injured by the frost and freezing weather in cen tral and eastern counties.

The strawberry season is about over In Douglas county and a fair crop of cherries is being marketed in Jackson and Linn cou titles. Haying is becoming general.

THE RULES ARE ISSUED Co-opcratiou of 111 hltc l Koqucstrd and Pa.sseiigxr and Others nro Asked to Observe IIuIcn (tuiniJilcciiig Safety. All the Railroads comprising the Northwestern and Central Western Regions, consisting of Hit railroads with nearly 1 50.000 miles of track, are staging what is known ns a "No Accident Week" from June :!2nd to 2Sth Inclusive.

O'Brien, wnlch in cludes tho Oregon-Washington Rail road A: Navigation lines, the South ern Pacific Lines, the San Francisco ,i Portland Steamship Lines and the Pacific Coast Railroad, an Inteisitied campaign for safety is being con ducted by the employes among, them selves and the public. So called' safety meetings are being he'd, large numbers of circulars and poster5 are being distributed and talks on safety are being given to tho employes ti: groups on tho entire properties The employes are urged to uao cau tion and avoid Incautious or careless acts, as statistics prove that !ii pet cent kindred faults. While the employes are doing all possible to keep from 'njuriiu the uutomoblllst or any vehicle driver at the railroad crossing, as well as the person who walks along the track or tries to steal a ride, they aro nearly helpless in doing so un- : less the public likewise is cognizant of the danger lurking at the crowing 'on the train and on the track. The ......., iniif- .if rii.iiihu mid in in lies to non-employes on Railroads would be avoided if the public would heed the various warning signs at cros sinus and stations and use reason uhlt care whilo on trains. Tho Rail road employes therefore appeal to the public to help make this ' No Accident Week" a success and show tho entire United States that here out West we can run railroads the size of ours for one week at least without an accident of any kind The employes will cooperate and do all they can to avoid tnJcritiK anyom but in turn they ask for the coopera tion of the public.

Avoid putting them in the aisles don't stumble on a suitcase . tho aisles don't stumble n a suitcase 'or ladder which may be In the aisle. Be ciireful In closing doors so they won't mash your baud or finger. Do not try to raise or lower a window you may gel a mashed linger. Ask tht trainmen to do thN for you In rv getting on or off a train, first wait till it comes to u full stop, then be suro you won't make a misstep and sprain your unkle by a fall or other wise. Do not at any time stand on or near the track at stations or else where. Do not stand in vestibules between cars when train Is moving. rlu driving over a crossing, be sure your way is clear. Ont miscalcula tion may caso your death. Stop, look and llsteu, be safe, don't take a chance as the cemeteries now have a much greater population of chance takers by about 100 per cent than they should have. Be sure your car is in good condition as to oil supply, steering gear, running goar und brakes, so you will not stall on the track at a critical time.

HELP IS NEEDED 10 SAVE APPLES Camps Will Be Established to Assist Growers of the County. ACTION IS NECESSARY oy ami GlrU W'Ul I to KnllstoU to Work In Oivliards for the Summer. Roll ion Dickerson to Head Work of Iho OrKimluitloii. When nn applo crop Is larger than has over before been known in Doug las County, growers are franctically endeavoring to secure thinners, pic kers, and helpers in the big orchards which nro just beginning to roach their maturity yield. Unless help can bo secured at once, thousands of dollars will be loot for apples this year, aro going ito sell at a high price with a market which will ab sorb the supply faster than it can ho shipped to tho dealers. Even tho caring for It and handling It after it Is picked, ia a gigantic problem which Is giving fruit men no end of uneasiness as the organized fruit world is slightly disorganized at tho present time with so mony cooperat ive projects in the air, that tho ex penditure of a large sum or money of temporary warehouses doed not appear to be practical. If tho plan for community camps Tor hoys and for girls can be put into action, the problem of harvest ing the crop will be slmplo and dur ing the coming week an attempt will bo made to put the project Into operation. Garden Valley and Sutherlln nro the two largo apple growing areas. It fscstimnted that there will beover a hundred carloads of apples alone from Garden Valley. Sutherlln will prohaly match this number and only one familiar with the work of enr ing for and handling an apple crop can realize what a gigantic task confronts tho growers of those two sections. The prosent plan is to engage the largest possible numl er of boys and girls betweon tho ages of 14 nnd 18 vears. They will be ontuhHohed in topnrutfl camps In respective areas ind will assist tho growers In thin ning and picking tho npples. Each camp will be unilor the supervision of n competent man or woman who will have complete charge of the ?nmp and thoso in it and will act is manager for tho membership and will serve as negotiator between the fruit man and the boy or girl work ing In tho orchard. The grower will bo required to pay a certain rate of wages, based on the amount of work accomplished, and tho hours of work will be limited, so that tho child will not be overworked. During the rest nnrtndH. outdoor recreation will be provided and tho young folks will be illowed to play games, swim or such 'it her sports as they may choose at ill times under the fruardlannhlp of 'he camp manager who at any time will have tho power to discharge any member of tho camp who refuses to obey Instructions, or who Is not ef ficient and careful In Mb or her work. Each will receive liberal com pensation for the labor ftnd only a flight amount will bo deducted for the upkeep of tho camp and as this expense will be ho smnll and as the work will last throughout tho Bum mer there Is no reason that tho child diould not return to the city In the fall with a good coat of fat nnd tan nd sufficient funds to buy clothing ind hooks for tho winter term of tchool. At first tho plan did not Include 'ho girls hut In Med ford, whore tho nroject has been tried out very suc cessfully for the past two seasons, he e have done better work than he boys so It was thought best to ri ve t hem an opportunity also. Ho! lien Dickerson. former High 5choo Superintendent, Is expected to irrlve in Roseburg this evening, and will take rhnrge of the work of or ganizing a boy's camp. Some women if this city will bo requested to take up the work of the girl's camp. It is not to lie understood that tho two cam its will bo together, ns they will be kept separate nnd will be lo catcd In d ifferent sections of the ,-ountv They will be constructed on i ipl'Uarv system which will have n regular schedule, certain hours for work and certain hours for play, giv ing a sufficient amount of each to promote health without the detri mental results of overwork. Each camp will tie supplied with a good cook and the manager will bo held responsible that tho "moss" Is kept up to a high standnrd. All boys nnd girls Interested In the project and who desire to enlist for r- summer's job can obtain do talled information bv getting In com nmnlentlun with County Horticul turist E. A.
