surely cri'shim; the
GERMAN'S
Germany, no matter what Russia
may fail to do, can hold out only a
year more at tho most. Such is the
judgment of the best informed und
most competent International finan
ciers In America, England and
Franco.
The problem of food exists in Rus
sia and works against Germany. The
millions of soldiers in tho Russian
ranks can not walk from the trenches
realize that tho Teuton submarine
tan not win tho war. Tho morale of
the German armies is hurt by the suc-
j cessivo retreats and defeats. Ger
many now wages defensive war in
i order to obtain a good position for
j future negotiations for peace. R.
view.
From the Eugene Register we note
tho Southern Pucltlc Company has
finished its new depot at Iteedsport.
Reedsport Is a small town on the
new t'oos Hay line. The news Item
and toward distant bases of supplies states: "The building is a very neat
of food. They have about as much
food at the front as they would have
at home. Germany knows that If It
should attempt a movement against
Russia the Russian army would
structure and tho Interior consists of
tho agent's and operator's depart
ment, waiting room, baggage and ex
press room, all handily arranged and
equipped with all conveniences. The
side it will go through St. Helens.
What benefits one part of the town,
benefits tho entire town. West St
Helens, formerly lloulton, Is now St.
Helens, and Just as much a part of
St. Helens as the original Knighton
donation land claim. What benefits
one, benefits all. Let us slop scrap
ping and use all our energies tow
ard securing as much hard-surfaced
pavement as we can, leaving the
route of the highway to tho engin
eers, who are supposed to know their
business and who are paid for l;iylu:
out the most advantageous route
East side or west side Is all the same
to us, hut we want the Columbia
Highway to go through St. Helens,
and It Is going to do this, 'the best
way to build up a bigger and heifer
town Is to pull together. 11 Is all
St. Helens, and our Interests are
identical.
j Wo hope the highway will run
I right through the little red shack
i which Is close to the railroad track.
Might as well have a teat as what
wo have now.

strike back. It is dangerously far i Southern Pacific Company has spent
east in Russia. Moving onward into
the Russian interior would greatly
endanger Germany's front in the
west.
America, England, France nud
Italy have Immense reserve resources
of every sort. Germany has not. Jap
an nud Russia are presumptive
sources of reinforcement to England
and Its allies. Austria-Hungary Is a
source of weakness to Germany, and
over $1 6,000 in making improve
ments at Reedsport, which have add
ed greatly to the appearance of the
city and the convenience of the pub
lic." Comparing this with the "lit
tle red shack" of a depot in St. Hel
ens is good cause to be envious of
tho little town of Reedsport. There
are several definitions for the word
depot. One of them Is a deposit, or
the uct of depositing; a place of de-
