So ho returned to the East, and
Icame back to California In 1846.
'His 1846 expedition was so well
timed that he was on the Job at
(the psychological moment to raise
-the American flag at Portsmouth
square, across .Kearny street
from the present San rFrancisco
city hall, .and take over Califor

ALL that was clearly expansion
ist plotting, designed toiln
crease the territorial area of Ihe
United States. .Fortunately, so 'far
ixs California was concerned, It
was accomplished practically
without the shedding of blood,
and' there has never been any re
gret on California's part.
But over the same issue (that

ihe i United States to, the Pacific)
Ivc fought Mexico because of
Texas, and scooped up New Mexi
co, Arizona and much of Colo
rado and Nevada as n result of
the war.
Wc would have fought any
body else who might have oppos
ed us In our design. As a matter
of fact, .we were prepared to
, fight the British, if necessary,
over Oregon. We were a young
and growing country, and we
proposed to realize our destiny.
RUSSIA is a young and growing
republic-just emerging from
near-barbarism into Ihe modern
world. There Is Utile doubt that
she knows what she wants, and
less doubt that she will be willing
and ABLE to fight to realize
whatever she may regard as her
destiny.

IT COMES.
By Charles V. Stanton
RESIDENT ROOSEVELT'S national service legislation,
I proposed in his "quick-victory-' program, as placed before
-congress, conies, we feel, under the heading of 'Hoo little and
too:late." The American Legion, Veterans of Foreign Wars
and other organizations of men and women who .fought jn
the last .great .world conflict, have been crying for universal
conscription of -manpower and wealth for 25 years. No ad
ministration has given heed to the plea of the veterans. Now,
with the tide turning . toward victory, .President Roosevelt
tops his message to congress with a national service proposal.
Several interpretations can be placed .upon his action
in offering his suggestion at this time.
First, to give him all possible credit, .we can take the as
sumption he is belatedly, but sincerely, adopting a policy
which should have been .effected years ago; It policy which
should have. boon inaugurated nt the beginning of the pres
ent, emergency, rather than near the end.
Second, realizing the president to be an astute politician,
we can look upon the proposal as being a red herring to draw
the congress onto. a trail which will lead to a mass of con
fused ideas and expose the legislative body to the fire of ad
ministration snipers, with the hope of arousing public dis
respect for congress ;and influencing the election of its
members.
Third, we can interpret his act to be an attempt to escape
from an almost hopeless impasse he has brought upon him
self. by attempting to pose as a friend of labor while at the
same time originating, maintaining and controlling boards
and agencies which. have been unfriendly to labor.
The only hope of the present administration for a fourth
term lies in the popularity of the president. The New Deal,
as a party, could never hope to(win an election. It is the
personality. of Mr. Roosevelt that has kept the administra
tion in power and it is on the strength of his personality that
the New Deal depends for the future.
Organized labor has kept the .president. in-office. It won
for him the third term. Without the full and complete sup
port of labor, he cannot hope for a fourth term. This means
that the President must either side with labor's demands
against his own administrative organization, or find some
means of escaping a showdown.
:Philip Murray, president of the Congress of Industrial
Organizations, writing in the. February issue of America.ii
magazine, says :
"Meanwhile the action of many administrative agencies in
.Washington has been far from .satisfactory. Labor appre
ciates that President Roosevelt has traditionally been a '
friend of the workers, and It realizes that he is now deeply '
ongrossed in the vast problems of global .war, .sometimes to
the exclusion of urgent domestic Issues. But it notes with
regret that some of the wartime agencies, oreatcd under this
administration, have a pronounced anti-labor bias. And wo
note further that some of these agenoles are so inefficient,
bungling and overlapping in their functions as to hurt the
ss.i public interest and retard the prosecution of the war." ':
The president-will need the support of the 0. I, O. if ho is
to gain a fourth term. The statement of the C. J. O. presi
dent indicates that organized labor is passing the buck
squarely up to Mr. Roosevelt. If the president repudiates
the, rulings of his own boards and bureaus, under labor pres
sure, in order to assure the support he must have from labor,
his prestige with other voters v.-ill be seriously impaired.
On the other i hand, if he can, in turn, toss the buck into the
lap of congress in the form of a national service bill, which
would relieve him from the necessity of assuming personal
responsibility for slapping organized labor in the face, and
force congress to absorb the retaliatory blows, which are
sure to come, it would be a stroke fully in keeping with his
political, acumen.

Talk Nets Him 19
German Prisoners
, By KENNETH L. DIXON
WITH THE AEF ON THE
ITALIAN FRONT, Jan. 0 (De
layed) I AP) Pvt. Billy -Miller,
21, a fast-talking doughboy from
Peoria, HI., hoodwinked a Ger
man lieutenant and ,18 enlisted
men into believing they were
surrounded and then .marched
them single-handed to captivity
across 600 yards of ,no man's
land.
Pvt. Miller pulled off the ex,
ploit when he went into action
for the first time' Thursday night
as his company attacked a hill in
the San Vittore area. Surrounded
by 50 Germans while , he and a
tew comrades were bringing
some wounded and a prisoner 'to
the, rear, Billy and his mates had
to surrender.
A platoon of 1!) German.", took
charge of Billy. In a tunneled
out cave where they put up for
the ' night,, the Jerries- started
talking about taking him back to
a prison ;ump. The lieutenant,
who sp ike , .English, told him
what they wore saying.
"You'll never make it," said
Billy, lie knew he was at least
a quarter of a mile in front of
his own line, but he added,
"we've got you surrounded. Lis
ten!" Gunfire crackled outside, echo
ing in the cave. They spent the
night there.
"Soft Bread" Decides
Next day the lighting was
still terrific, so the German pla
toon moved only a short distance
farther hack, this time to a farm
house In the valley behind the
hill. They drank some wine and
found some bread," but you
could hardly stick a knife into
it," Billy said later.
They asked him if American
bread was that hard.
"Oh, no," said Billy, who used
to be a dougliroller in a Peoria
army biscuit bakery. "American
bread Is all fresh and soft."
The Germans looked at one an
ol her.
. j Next day. the German lieuten
j ant insisted that the time had
I come to try to contact other Ger
I man outfits. As he talked, Billy
I looked out the window,
j On a distant hill paralleling
the valley lie saw troops moving.
I It was worth a gamble,
j "I tell you we've got this place
j surrounded." he said. "Come out
i side and I'll show you."
i They stepped outside ami Hilly
I pointed to the movement on the
I hill. The lieutenant stepped back
inside, talked to his men a mo
ment, then came back lo Billv,
I unbuckled his pistol belt and
: handed it to him.
! "You are not our prisoner
! now." lie said. "We are your
; prisoners."
So back across no man's land,
Ihe five-foot five-Inch doughboy
led the column of prisoners.
Walking up to his lines, he turn
ed. them in. together with seven
Gorman automatics, nine hinocu
lars and one machine pistol.

Roseburg Building
Vacated by Bank
The building located at Cass
and Jackson streets imRoseburg
and .formerly .occupied rby - the
Roseburg branch of the'U. S.'Na
tional bank will in the future be
known as the Lumbermen's build
ing. The title has been applied in
order to clear up confusion exist
ing since the consolidation of the
U. S. National and the Douglas
National banks, J. H. Booth, vice
president and manager of the
Roseburg branch, said ; today.
The building formerly Jsnown
as the Douglas National bank
building is now coming to .be
known as the Unites States Na
tional bank building, with the re
sult that two structures have
been carrying the same ;name,
resulting, in confusion in the-mat-ter
of addresses.
The name chosen for the build
ing vacated by the bank was se
lected because of the fact that it
now houses the district O. and C.
administration headquarters and
the offices of the White Star
Lumber company. Mr.. Booth
stated that increased activity In
logging and 'lumbering would ap
pear to make the selection of the
name appropriate.
