JUVENILE
WASHINGTON, March 25 The Ger
man offensive, say. the war depart
ment' weekly communique. Issued to
day, proves that the German militar
ist, no longer able to control the Ger
man people by political maneuver,
have been forced to attempt a gigantic
feat of arms to maintain their domina
tion. While the great attack has been
able to make headway, no definite en
veloping movement has been outlined,
the communique says, and it would be
premature to express opinions on the
tactical phases with a combat situa
tion inevitably changing in a battle of
such magnitude.
"The assault launched by the Ger
mans against the British front has re
opened the fighting season in the
west," says the communication. "This
operation confirms to us that the Ger
man high command, unable to control
the strategic situation through politi
cal agencies, as has been unceasingly
attempted during the past four
months, has been forced to engage In
desperate military venture in an ef
fort to retain its domination over the
peoples of the central empires an, if
possible, force a victorious peace by
the fortune of arms."

SAN FRANCISCO, March 25. "If
there has been a disaster in France
such aa the first press reports might
indicate, it means that every man of us
has got to get in," declared Major-General
Arthur Murray, commanding the
western division of the army, in a
statement issued last night
"It means that every one of ua has
got to put himself in the war, or con
sent to be a subject of Germany."
The Clackamas county school kids'
dish-rag drive continues with unabat
ed fury. Ninety-two out of 135 dis
tricts have sent in a total of over 5000
dish towels since last Saturday, and
the 43 districts yet to send in their
towels will probably swell the com
plete list to close around the 8,000
mark.

Judge Campbell Tuesday granted
an alternative writ of mandamus

leader in Oregon City. Ott through
Attorney Chris Schuebel.. sets up the
fact that an initiative petition for

such an election in compliance with
the request made.

Pis Faciii!i Iliumer
Swine
Busine?
Lax
Garbage Very Scarce
The people of Oregon City are cer
tainly "hooverMng" those days, so
much that some of the garbage men
are compelled to go out of the busi
ness of raising swine.
One of the garbage men, who has
depended largely on th j homes of this
city furnishing him with food for his
swine from leavings from the table
and parings, aa well as other refuse,
informed the housewives Wfduesday
that this would be his last call, as it
would not pay him to call, owing to
the scarcity of garbage In the cans.
This Is somewhat of n "blow" to some
of the residents, who have depended
upon him in carrying away what lit
tle they have.
The garbage man says that al
though it will practically put him ont
of the swine business, he is glad to
ses the people hooverlze, and that he
will dispose of his swine.
