ties of a commander I already have
spoken. Those of a statesman are the
same. I remember the time wnen
America produced a statesman. No
One SUSDected him nf hpincr o Niat
man. He was regarded as an un
couth backwoodsman, with a sense of
humor and a fund of good stories. By
what seemed the chanco of an election
in wjuch there were party divisions,
the man from Illinois was elected.
He had one nnnlitv. nnf

eye. By the time his work was done
America knew ah a had haA n mDt

statesman. I believe that if America
is true to herself that kind of recogni
tion may yet !be repeated.

ANNA HOWARD SHAW
' Although more than seventy years
old she was born February 14th,
1847, to be exact-"-when it came time
to find someone who could organize
the entire womanhood of the nation
to do its part in the war, Dr. Anna
Howard Shaw, ordained minister,
honorary , president of the National
Woman Suffrage Association, and de
fender and upbuilder of all woman
kind, was chosen.
She has given up everything to
serve the government in mobilizing
the women for the nation's defense.
Already she has formed Women's Ser
vice Leagues in every state in the
union.
And, now that President Wilson,
through Herbert C. Hoover, has called
upon the women of the nation to help
save and eliminate waste, they are
ready, thanks to the efficient organi
zation built up by Dr. Anna Howard
Shaw.

SOME THINGS FOR
AMERICA 10 GOn
BY SPENCER WILKINSON.
(Professor of Military History, Ox
ford University.)
(Written for the United Press)
ARTICLE THREE.
London, July 7 (By Mail) Jn war
the infantry soldier is a day laborer
and a beast of burden. From the
English Channel to Verdun there is
at this moment a belt of country a
mile or tvp wide which is seamed and
scared with endless white lines, which,
when you come close to them, proved
to be rows of irregular, deep trenches,
their sides suported by woodwork or
wickerwork and, here and there
pierced with shafts running deep
down into the earth to underground
chambers, where the troops are
guarded from shells during the b6m
bardment which precedes the attack.
All this earth has been turned by
the infantry soldier. When you see
him marching he is carrying on his
body everything that is indispensable,
his kit, his food, his rifle and cart
ridges, his steel helmet, his gas
mask. He is one a thousand moving
for hours along a dusty or a muddy
road. There is a man just in front
of him, another just behind him and
one on either side. His normal day
is to march or dig. It is a weary
monotony from which the excitement
of a fight is an occasional relief. In
a good army very thorough arrange
ments are made to cause the march
to be as little irksome as possible to
the men in the ranks.
Nothing would contribute more to
the health and happiness of the Amer
ican citizens who are going to fight
for the cause than a thorough study of
the modern arrangements for the
march of an army corps.
The inventor of the whole system as
now practiced was the Frcrfrh Gen
eral, Lewal, whose volume, Tactique
de Mureho, is the basis of the modern
marching arrangements of the French
army, by which the troops cover a
longer distance with less fatigue than
those of any other army in the world.
I should not like to let you go with-
i out touching on a larger aspect of the
war. J. he struggle now under way
has had no parallel for many ecn
tijries. The .changes in the machinery
of war though they have been enorm
ous are really but a trifle. In the art
of generalship, there are no changes.
But this is a conflict concerning the
spirit in which humanity is in future
to govern itself or be governed.
The Prussians aspire to deal with
Europe as Philip and Alexander of
Macedon dealth with Greece. Their
object is to be atthe head of Europe
and then of the world.
The conflict resembles also that be
tween Carthage and Rome. The Ro
mans were successful and for many
centuries the civilized world spoke
the Latin tongue and was regulated by
Roman law. Out of that Roman world
grew the world we know. Germany
means to repeat the exploits of the
Romans and make a German world.
If Germany succeeds in mastering
Europe her mastery of America is
only a question of time. That is why
many of us think there can be no
compromise and why we think the vic
tory of the Allies is as needful for
America as for Europe.
Tn war, time is everything and the
character of a. modern war, of a war
for a cause that nITects all the world,
is that there is no limit to the lia
bilities to be incurred. It is a na
tional affair. The whole nation must
take part. Short of that it is folly
to look for victory.
If America is to fight with her
misrht she needs a great statesman to
guide her and a great commander for
her army and her navy. Of the quali-

ever, he managed to get hack to his
drug store and he decided to investi
gate his foot. On removing his shoe
he found located in the toe thereof
an able bodied hornet that had been
stinging his foot almost every time
he took a step. How the "animal"
got into his shoe Mr. Tall man does
not know but he knows what it
means to receive a submarine attack
from such an unseen foe.
BATTLEFIELD JUNK RECLAIMED
BY WILLIAM PHILLIP SIMMS
(United Press Staff Correspondent)
With the British Armies in the
Field, July 5. (By mail) Did you
ever ston to think what becomes of nil f Fred Miller Held at Enterprise, Pend
ing these. In one corner a soldier was
rythmically swinging the - rifles up,
one iby one to a rest and - squinting
through the barrels at a light to see
if they were bent or if the rifling was
damaged. The officer, explained this
was obviously the first bit of inspec
tion because it would be a waste of
time to repair other parts of the rifle
if the barrel was damaged.
These rifes pass on down the lino.
When they rench the end they are as
good as new and after being oiled are
packed in boxes and shipped back to
the front.

I see whore a girl values her pretty
ankle at $10,000. Figure what the !
free show is worth in La Grande I
every day.: 2 ankles $20,000, 100 sets
at $20,000per set would be $2,000,000;
say the feminine population is 2200,
the total inventory would be $44,-000,000.

. The suffragets busted into jail and
now they won't get out. Their motto
is, " what the President wants done,
don't do it."
"I suffer in silence," is a favorite
remark of some people, which is just
exactly the way they don't suffer.
I saw a bunch sitting in a cool spot
on Adams avenue yesterday. Nothing
short of dynamite couldn't have
budged them. There was no pep in
the whole crowd.

They tell this story on Joe Tull
mnn, president of the Pendleton Com
mercial Club:
While out with a party judging
the boys' gardening work last week
,Tallman suddenly had a strange feel
1 ing. "Something shot up my leg and
I thought it was a stroke," he told a
friend in explaining the, matter. He
r hobbled over to the auto and sat
I down, pondering over his physical con
edition. He soon became convinced
that he had something but he did not
know just what. Sharp pains ran up
t one leg and he had visions of gout and
various other forms of grief. IIow-

Enterprise, Ore., July 24. (Spe
cial) Fred Miller, unnaturalized Ger
man and I. W. W. operator, who has
been under surveillance of the sher
iff's office for the past week, was ar
rested Friday by the new city
marshal. He was taken 'before the
district attorney and turned loose, but
later was put to work by the sheriff's
force so they could keep track of him.
Sheriff Rinehart yesterday received
word from United States District At-
the worn-out equipment of an army
composed of millions of men?
At the outset of the present war
much of this was pure loss. Now in
the British army there is an "old
clothes man" and the profits he re
ports back to his boss, John Ball,
might make Morgan, Rockefeller i-r
Carnegie envious.
The old clothes man "saves the
scraps." He makes new things out
of old. He cleans up tho battlefields
and camps and very little is wasted
nowadays. His job is to collect every- torney Reames to re-arrest Miller and

bronze, tin, steel, nickel and every
thing of the kind which has irretriev

I recently visited one of these
scrap-saving repair shops. About 12,-
