Economic Loss In Great War. the Leaving aside the frightful matter of the loss of life and the sacrifices that must be made, involuntarily, by : many who have hnd no direct part in war, the actual debt in money will be so much that it is doubtful if the people of Germany will ever bo able to pay it. This hus been not only the greatest war in history in the number of the fighting forces involved, but it has entailed an economic loss that will affect the world in general for yeura to come. A great deal of tbi.i loss could have been avoided if the reasonable and Immune rules of action had been adhered to. Among the un necessary lbHos.is that of the' sink ing of vessels and their cargoes, and a still greater loss is that which fol lowed the orgies of destruction which .Iho German armies put into effect in Belgium and France. Then thero were vast sums of mon ey extorted, onpoela!ly from Belgium, that in all honor must be replaced. Various cities of Belgium, under the pretext of fines for one thing and another, wero compelled to submit(to extortion by the invading urmy. This money may still bo somewhere' in Germany and if it is the war will not bo justly concluded until every cent of it is returned. The German people themselves have ( piled up a heavy debt which someone will have to lose. The whole' re sources of tho country have for four long yeura been devoted principally l.i tho prosecution of tho war, and it i:i little wonder that they begin to whine ubout the acceptance of a "hu miliating peace." All German effort for years gone by has been scaercd by the road side, involving u loss that cannot bo repaired with the added burden of be ing required, as they certainly will be, to make good the losses they have inflicted on others. It is certainly time for the elimina tion of all selfish and autocratic power und for the founding of a kuKi.e of nations whose relations will be !ascd on the principles of piuic and jus! ice. It would certainly have been n p.iy- . ing proposition if such a league had been In effect and the drill in the goose-step and the manufacture of big guns hud been di.seanjed in Ger many generations ago. Plans to Rout Pest From Grain Fields. The nphiil hosts which uttnek the giuin fields of Oregon nnd Wuahinir ten Ciieh drought season nnd euuse serious loss nre to In; routed next year by on army of ludy-buirs recruited from the mountains and canyons of the national forests, if a plun now on : foot is succcsttfully curried out. The bureau of entomology, assist- j cd by the state nnd county agents, i? I attempting to locate u sufficient nuiu Lcr of the lady-buirs to meet any emergency which mny arise in the grain districts of the two states. The I lady-huK has no nioro ufe for nplmls than clvUixtttion has for the Hutu and attacks and destroys them with great zest, according to entomologists who are familiar with the insects. Tho lady-bugs,' which are really beetles and not bugs at all, congre gate early in the fall at high alti tudes, or in canyon bottoms, and are sometimes found in all manner of places. They remain inactive in those largo colonies, or caches as these gatherings are called, until Ia'te the following spring, clinging to vegeta tion of all kinds. The beetles have a red body with black spots and are from one-eighth to one-fourth inch in length. Tho forest service' will cooperutc with tho bureau of entomology in lo cating lady-bug caches, and thus facil itate their collection when needed. A circular letter has been mailed from the district forester's office in Port land to the forest officers of the dis trict asking them to furnish informa tion concerning the location of large colonies, containing twenty to twenty five quarts of the beetles, date of dis covery, and approximate size of the colony. The information furnished by the rangers will be ysed in selecting sitci where the lady-bugs can be most con veniently collected by tho federal, state, nnd county officials this fall. In this way the officials expect to havo tho beetles available in suffi cient numbers to prevent a repetition of tho grain loss of tho past season in Oregon and Washington. Very Ticklish On Subject of Peace. A demonstration in Berlin is re ported in which resolutions were pass-. ld ugainst acceptance of "humiliat ing peace." That is the only kind that Germany will get, and the humil iating part of it will bo in the same proportion to the exultation that was indulged when the school children marched in parade over the sinking of tho Lusitaniaj when they scattered the creed that might makes right and that tho whole controversy could he settled in no other way than tho arbi trament of tho sword. It is too late now to bo over-sensitive on tho matter of the kind of pence that is coming. If the answer to lla; terms of tho allied council its nut Boon sent out, what is left of tho Gorman army will crumble on tho western front. Of course, they can do as they please over the little formality of accepting the terms, but i Is not a time to be too fastidious. . ;:: WISE PHRASES Kites rlso against, not with, tho wind. Auon.

There Is apt to be a bitter taste In n man's mouth after ho is forced to cat his own words. The masculine Idea of an Intellectual woman Is one who Is as thin as a match and wears glasses. A wise man does a great deal of si lent thinking nnd a fool man does a great deal Of thoughtless talking. Nothing pleases a man more than steering his wife up against an echo that Is bound to havo tho last word. '. CENTER SHOTS : Tho traveler In the desert Is a well wisher.
