THE CHARGE OF
CHINA AFFAIRS
SHANGHAI. April S9.-The state
ment Is made In the first issue of the
Shanghai Gazette that the Chinese
-Avnrnmpnt has agreed to new de
mands made by Japan, which are of
such nature that tine country nas
virtually been turned over to the
Japanese.
The C.asette Mscrts It has been In
formed by a high official at Tekln
that the Japanese demands are far
more serious than those In group V ot
the famous 21 demands made by Jap
an in 1915.
"Notwithstanding the fact that the
utmost secrscy is belag observed."
says the Gatette, "it may be stated
safely that the following is not tar

HUSBAND NEVER
There's a moral in this story.
Bluntly speaking it is: Fight shy of
the bill collectors.
Bill collectors called often at the
home of William H. Slulrooney and
wife, according to the tatter's divorce
complaint filed Saturday. They came
at various times, and many of them,
and the wife charges that for a long
time during their married life they
came every day, all of which was
humiliating and embarassing in the
extreme.
The Mulrooneys were married in
1910. The husband, it is charged,
didn't take to home life, but on the
contrary was of ths "'drifter" type
and Insisted on roaming up and down
the west coast of these United States.
Finally In 1917 he wandered clear
away and as far as the wife knows
he Is still going. She feels entitled to
a divorce, everything considered.
Clara Mallett, in a divorce suit filed
Saturday, claims that Arthur T. Mal
lett, to whom she was married in
1912. -has been so lazy d-jring th?ir
married life, that she has been com
pelled to go to work In order to sup
port herself and child. In January of
1916, the couple sep?rated and the
final chapter of their domestic ins
and outs will be heard before Judge
Campbell at an early date. She asks
$15 psr month for support of her
child, and $75 per month suit money
Levi Heller, charging desertion
filed suit Saturday for a divorce from
Eval Heller. They were married in
Seattle in 1916, and the dea?rtlon oc
curred shortly after the first of Jan
uary, 1918.
Franklin E. Meuller was granted a
decree from Margaretha Mueller Saturday.

TEACHERS MUST
SWEAR CLAOSE
OF ALLEGIANCE
Any Clackamas county school teach
er who falls to lend whole-hearted
support to the government next year,
will face summary dismissal by the
board. The contract just received by
County Superintendent Calavan for
next year's teachers, each carry a
clause to the effect that the teacher
wllL support the constitution against
all enemies, foreign and domestic, and
will bear true faith and allegiance to
the United States.
The insertion ot an allexlance
clause In the contract will weed out
the undesirables before they are glv
en a chance to teach. Under this
clause any act ot disloyalty may be
liberally constructed as a breach ot
contract on the part ot the teacher
with the board, and a summary tils
mlsal will follow. In this way It will
not be necessary for government or
state to take a hand In the affair and
embarass the school and district with
a public airing of the disloyal charge.
The plan Is a good one. So far only
one Clackamas county teacher has
been discharged on account of unpat
riotic remarks. Under the new scheme,
each teacher's loyalty will be made a
part of her contract and no one will
be employed to teach any school who
does not willingly and readily sub
scribe to the loyalty clause as well
as the other portions of the contract
The contracts will be used for all
schools under the jurisdiction of
County School Superintendent Cala-

In greater variety of design and texture

most universal demand. Silk, fiber
silk and wool are the yarns used for
the handsome mnchlne-knltted gar
ments that manufacturers make so
nearly like hand knitted ones that It Is
not always easy to distinguish between
them. There Is more precision In the
machine-knitted sweaters, all the
tltches exactly alike, but many of
them are finished with hand knitting.
Leaving out tlie sweaters and sweat
er coats of silk and silk fiber which
are worn with sport skirts or other
wise, that ure an essential of the
mart woman's wardrobe, there are
many styles In the very practical
sweaters for real sporta wear. Two of
these are shown la the Illustration
one for the "flapper" at the right and
one for the grownup. These are both
of wool, closely knitted and are classed
as fitted slip-overs. The sweater for
the little girl has collar and cuffs of
angora wool and li a good general
utility model, while the other pro
claims Itself an Ideal garment for all
sorts of sports.
A very clever model In a loosely
knitted, heavy coat sweater, designed

JOHNSON AND SMITH WRITE HOME
Soldiers in France Tell of Their Impres
sions of Foreign Life
Mr. W. 11. Cook of the assessor's
office received the following letter
from his friend, Corporal V. U John
son, ot the 18th Engineers lUUwuy,
France; ,
March 18, 1918
Dear Friend IUU:
After biting off a big "chaw- I will
try to compose a few lines thanking
you for the two boxes of entab; and
smokenble which you were most kind
In' sending. IUU I sure appreciate
everything and It was just what 1
wanted and needed. You and 811m are
the only ones who have scut me any
chewing and believe mo a real plug
ot American chewing tobacco looks
like a mil Ion dollars to me.
Our spring la here and peach treei
have been In bloom for nearly two
weeks. It's heglunlng to be quite
warm so a person la quite comfort
able In shirt sleeve.
I have been as busy here as I have
ever been on a job in the States and
have enjoyed the work very much, It
Is yard work and quite new to me
and therefore I consider that it has
(men of a certain value. I wUh I could
tell you more of our work out here
for It Is quite a big proKsltlon. At
present I am dotachsd from the main
company and do not know when I will
get back. I am eating with F Company
and as you know there are a great
number of Oregon City boys In that
company and they are sure a line
bunch of fallows, two of the boys
working with me out on the Willam
ette Valley Southern, Punk Church
and Worthlngton. and as soon as I get
time I am going to look them up.
Ilex Arnold wro'te me that he la in
France and that he ia going to try
and look me up. I don't think it will
make any difference to him, the fact
that he is a Ueutenant, especially as
he comes over unasslgned.
Wilbur Sharp has received his com
mission and has left the regiment
for some other part of France whore
he tolls or rathr writes us that he
can hear the big guns. I would sure
like to b up there with hltn.
The Secretary of War was through
here and I hop that after he ha
been all over the line he can cut out
some of the red tape which the States
papers have be n giving such a roast.
We are not feeling this but little so
It Is not brought home to us as It Is
to the boys back there.
Miss Itenner. of Oregon City, stmt
me a nice box for Christmas so f I
write her thanking her for It, nnd
Just received a letter from her which
was very Interesting. She mentioned
you and In very glowing terms. I
sure appreciate your giving her my
name. ,
Say. Hill. If you have an old 8arlc
that yon don't visa any more or you
cuu get me a new one, as 1 have al
most constant use for one and if you
will itend mo one I will send you n
check to pay for It. The Government
books are of very llttlo use to a rail
road outfit because the tables are
very llttlo good. Ws have very good
instruments, mostly llergers and
Huffs. The French Instruments which
I expected to be wonderful, are pos
llv -ly a Joke and would do credit to
Noah and the Ark. We mix up oc
casionally with the metric system and
Its a kind of a Joke too, especially
when you are not accustomed to It.
Well I must knock off for this time
and hoping to hear from you soon,
will end you a copy of our Hoglmen
till paper.
Your Friend.
