Nation Warned By Baker
Huns Constitute Graver
Danger Than Ever Before
WASHINGTON". Dec. lO.-In start
lingly frank fashion Secretary Baker's
(weekly war summary warned the na
tion not to minimise the danger of
the newly massed Teuton horde on
the west front.
Stripped of its verbiage, the state
ment amounted to notice that with
the added forces Germany has drawn
from the east front, she constitutes a
graver danger than at any time in the
last two and a half years.
The Germans may even be able to
achieve "some relative advantages."
such as they did last week at Cam
brat, Baker added, through a tempor
ary predominance of numerical force.
After reviewing the British retire
ment in the Cambrnl sector and pay
ing tribute to the American engineer's
valor in that fight, Baker warned
America must speed up its military
effort, "prepared not only to fight,
but to win," and be entirely united.
"This German parrying thrust, the
most successful blow alined at the
British during the last two and a halt
years, coming as it did Immediately
after the British victory in the same
area, serves to emphasize the revlv.
Ing strength of the Germans in the
west,' Baker continued.
"We must recognize plainly that
the situation in the eastern theatre
has brought about a very weird
change in the strategic possibilities
of the military situation in the west.

divisions in the Russian area, by con

HIRED AT SEATTLE
Suit was filed in Justice Siever's
court Saturday by Attorney C. Schue
bel for Herman E. Schuler against the
Hawley Pulp & Paper company, ask
ing damages in the sum of $10 for car
fare from Seattle to Oregon City and
return, for $3 a day wages from Decem
ber 4 until paid and for a further sum
of $150 damages because of alleged
loss of position, and attorney's fees.
Schuler charges that he was em
ployed by the Northwest Grocery com
pany In Seattle prior to December 4,
that he hired to an agent of the Haw
ley company, one M. A. Peterson, in
Seattle, to come to Oregon City and
work in the paper mill; that he gave
his firm notice of resignation, and
came to Oregon City with a card from
Peterson to the Hawley company ask
ing that he be put to work; that he ar
rived here Thursday and reported to
the mill management for work; that
he was told to report on Friday, De
cember 7, and that when he did he was
told there was no work for him.
WILHOIT LAD IS
SENT TO SALEM
FOR TREATMENT
Earl Bird, son of John Bird, well
known farmer of the Wilholt country,
was committed to the state hospital
of the insane by Judge Anderson Sat
urday. Bird was arrested by Deputy
Sheriff Lou Hubbard and Rev. W. F.
Snyder of Molalla Friday evening near
Silverton.
Bird is a big husky lad and gave the
officers considerable trouble. Officials
say that he has been of a despondent
frame of mind for sume time and his
action attracted the attention of neigh
bors. He was in Mount Angel Friday
and his actions aroused the local offi
cials at that place. Later he was in
Silverton, visiting a barber shop and
other establishments, which reported
him to the Clackamas authorities.

ASSAULT ON TUESDAY
B. Sullivan and A. F. Buche, mem
bers of the school board of the Clarkes
district southeast of Oregon City were
arraigned Monday afternoon before
Justice of the Peace Sievers and
pleaded not guilty to the charge of as
saulting Rev. W. H. Wettlaufer at the
school board meeting last Friday.
The trial of the two (fefendants has
been set for Tuesday, December 18.
The complaint was issued at the in
stance of Kev. Wettlaufer, clerk of
tho Clarkes board, last Saturday. Ac
cording to the complaining witness In
an argument over the teacher's con
tract, Sullivan and Buche resorted to
physical means to enforce their side
of the question, with the result that
Rev. Wettlaufer was thrown from his
chair and beaten by the two other
members, according to the pastor's
story. His wife intervened and finally
the trio were separated, but Rev. Wett
laufer claims he made no effort to de
fend himself.
The fight was the outgrowth of a
neighborhood squabble of long stand
ing, which has been carried on in the
district school meetings during the
past year.

she has ever been aide to mobilise In
France lu the past.
"This explains the success which
the enemy tins been able to achieve
in driving the British back from Cam.
bral.
"It would not do for us to minimise
its importance. The enemy realises
that he finds himself in a singularly
fortunate position and he cau be
counted upon to take the utmost ad
vantage of it. For a long time past
he has been preparing plans for such
an eventuality as would arise when
Russia should enter upon negotiations
for a separate peace, which has been a
principal German objective ever since
the battlo of Tannenborg. We must
expect that he did put these plans
into execution.' Thus he may have at
his disposition for a time a prepond
erant ' numerical superiority in the
west, ho may even be able to achieve
some relative advantages In the field,
such us those recorded during the last
week.
"The magnitude of the task before
us can be more fully realised when
measured by the success which the
enemy Is still able to gain.
"It moan a that we must speed up

must stand squarely behind our sol

At a meeting of tne Oregon City Rod

Tho finance committee expects to
Obtain through prlvato subscription all,

treasury for this purpose.
As Oregon City is now a direct

undivided attention to care for all tho
auxiliaries in this Jurisdiction, keep
the proper accountings of finances and
material and make the necessary re

quarters at Washington through tho
parent chapter at Portland.
The finance committee reported that

WASH THE KIDNEYS!
All the blood in tho body passes thru
the kidneys every few minutes. This is
why the kidneys play such nn important
role in health or disease. By some inis
terioiiH process the kidney selects what
ought to come out of the blood and
takes it out. If the kidneys are not
good-workmen and become congested
poisons accumulate and we suffer from
backache, headache, lumbago, rheu
matism or gout. Tlio urine is often
cloudy, full of sediment; channels often
get sore and sleep is disturbed at night.
Ho it is that Dr. Pierce, of the Invalids'
Hotel and Biirgical Institute in Buffalo,
N. Y., advises "Washing the Kidneys,"
by drinking six to eight glusses of water
between meals and then if you want
to take a harmless medicino that will
clear the channels and cure the annoy
ing symptoms, go to your nearest drug
gist and obtain Anurio (double strength),
l'liis " Anuric," which is so many times
more potent than litliia will drive out
the uric acid poisons and bathe the kid
neys and channels in a soothing liquid.
If you desire, write for free medical
advice and send sample of water for free
examination. Experience has taught
Dr. Pierce that "Anurio" is a most
powerful agent iu dissolving uric acid,
as hot water melts sugar. Anbric" is a
regular insurance and life-saver for all.

selected for-tho house was near the

Tho common large mole which is one
of tho commonest pests In our mead

skln garments, fur sets, and trimmings
are In demand and tho pesky molo
which has caused us so much trouhlo
In tho past Is going to make wearing
apparel for tho grownups while the
boyB of Clackamas county are going to
make money this coming winter and
spring catching moles. The Agricul
tural council says, "we must got rid
of the moles." Tho furriers In Port
land say, "wo want molo skins."
There Is not a boy in tho county who
would not take some easy money If
he could got It, and they can got It for'
the molo skins which sell for 15 cents
to 30 cents a piece. The county agent
will get you the traps for 05 cents a
piece and they will lust, forevor with
but very llt.tlo euro. The county agri
cultural agent will also show you how
to trap tho moles and give you all the
Information you neod on the skinning
and drying of the skins. After they
are all dried you can send thorn to his
office whore they will be packed and
shipped. v
Since the molo may be caught about
as eiislly as any othor small animal,
by those who will take tho trouhlo to
lnvostgate the simple methods, there
Is no roason why the school boys nnd
trappers In this vicinity should not
make considerable pockot money at
tho business.
