Cabinet Is Still lit a Mess Ebert to
Stay On tho Job Witt- Awhile
-Other II u us Named For
Premier's Position.
(By the Associated Press.)
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 want
to know definitely what they are
signing and have asked the peace
conference if the terms covering the
note may be considered as a purt of
the document itself. 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. Eri--nerger
seems sure of a place in the
government and is a likely head of
the peace delegation. Gustave
Noske, Dr. Edward David and Herr
Mueller are mentioned for premier.
Francisco Nii'l has been asked to
form a new Italian cabinet. He re
signed last January after differences
with Premier Orlando. It is sup
posed that he favors a' compromise
with the Jugo Slavs on the Adriatic
question.

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. At last one of the
"mixers decided that he was bet
ter at argument than pugilism and
called a halt to the proceedings.
"shiner." some bruised knuckles,
some torn clothes, some battered
physiognomies and a bill for broken
furniture are the remains of the
thrilling exhibition.

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. Tho Pnfte.l Stales
Railroad Administration -vlll en
deavor to operate these railroad
systems during that week without
an accident of any kind. On tne
railroad properties undir Federal
mamigir J. P. 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. Don't try to
steal a ride on a train, you may fall
i.,. i iiwuiii i Iwi imi r ii Mil be
ground to death,
j If you aie a passenger In a train
don't put heavy articles In the over-

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
