NON-COMBATANT FORCES
It la a mystery to some of us why
Germany, with a population less than
the combined population of Great
Britain and France, la able to keep
such a tremendous army In the field
In eplte of great losse.
One reason la eald to be the Prus
sian tradition that every possible man
should be kept in the combatant forc
es of the army, and that no men who
are not fitted for actual fighting should
be doing" non-combatant work. A great
man; estimates of the number of men
on our fighting 11m are useless, be
cause we dont know how many of
them are detailed for non-combatant
work. If there are many thousands of
men handling supplies and operating
automobiles who should be in the
trenches, it la obvious that fighting
power is greatly reduced.
It will be a poor policy tor our gov
ernment to insist too strongly for
rigid physical testa for the men who
are going across to do non-combatant
work. All our men who are capable
of army service should be In the fight
ing line. Then we can take the men
who are thrown out for poor eyesight,
poor teeth, and other physical defects
not of serious character and let them
operate the railroads and freight and
dock steamship terminals, and per
form the thousand different services
back of the firing line.
Yhere should be hundreds of thous
ands m men over the draft age who
should be working on the supply end.
and releasing younger fellows who
ought to be in the combatant forces.
The non-combatant services should
be made attractive to all these types
of men. Some people are apt to deride
those who enter these services, as if
they were aeeklng to dodge the trench
fighting. Bat most of these men take
tnese Jobs at considerable sacrifice.
Every middle aged or physically de
fective man who performs this ser
vice does a lot to help his country.
FLOGGED INTO WAKEFULNESS
Have you noticed how freauently
the administration is using tue facts
of today to answer the well-founded
criticisms of nine months ao? The
United States entered this war
early in April, 1917, after having neg
lected preparedness for two and a
half years of the war. Right from the
start there was manifested in almost
very branch of the service a failure
to realize that we were really at war,
and there was Inactivity, delay, post
ponement and waste. The procrastin
ation was borne patiently for months
but finally it became apparent that If
we were to win this war the adminis
tration must be spurred to activity.
Criticism became general, faults and
failures were exposed, with the result
that evils were remedied and prepar
ations speeded up. The reforms were
the direct outgrowth of the crit
icisms. Now that conditions are much
improved, defenders of the adminis
tration are pointing to the situation
in July, 19x8. as a complete refutation
of the criticisms of September, 1917.
The Liberty Motor will eventually be
a success, but months of valuable
time were wasted in the experimenta
tion when manufacture of the French
or British types of planes could have
been commenced on a quantity basis
almost immediately. Tet the ultimate
success of. the Liberty Motor will be
pointed to as proof that the charge of
delay was false. Adequate clothing
and blanket supplies for the winter of
1918-19 will be cited as proof of the
falsity of charges of inadequate sup
plies in 1917-18. The launching of
ships in 1918-19 will be cited as proof
that there was no delay during all
the weary months of the Denham-Goethals-Hurley
controversies. Be
cause the administration was forced
by patriotic criticism to abandon Its
inefficient methods, the criticism will
be denounced later as unfounded and
pro-German. Roosevelt, Gardner, Poln
dexter, Chamberlain. Wadsworth,
Hitchcock, New, Weeks, and others.
both Republicans and Democrats,
were the men who aroused the ad
ministration from its lethargy, but
the administration will never accord
them the credit that is their due.
TAR AND FEATHERS AND JUDGE
LYNCH
Some of our patriotic people are re
lieving their feelings by applying
coats of tar and feathers to such of
their neighbors as havA made their
pro-German ideas obnoxious. ' This
method of adornment may seem ap
propriate under some circumstances.
However there are reasons for think
ing that such proceedings are not
.best adapted to meet the present ex-'
igency.
Also in one or two extreme cases,
German suspects have been summar.
ily treated by Judge Lynch, with re
sults that may not be what was bar
gained for.
The trouble with all these doings
is that the Germans can always beat
us when it comes to brutality. It Is
now reported that they have been
cutting off the noses and ears of our
prisoners, as a retaliation for lawless
acts against pro-Germans in this coun
try. We ought not to give them any
excuse for such barbarities.
Our people are held back by human-
Uxian considerations from much of
this kind of thing. But there is no
sense of humanity, law, or decency to
hold the Germans back. Hence we
should confine ourselves to strictly
legal and military means of dealing
with alien enemlen.
Acts like these have been provoked
by the feeling that our government
ha been very easy going in treat
ment of spies and interned Germans
It is of the utmost Importance that
all who are charged with espionage

should be summarily tried and Just
sentences imposed at once "upon the
ginlty. If we are going to stop theee
expressions of lawlessness on
the
part of our cltlxena, justice
must
work with quick efficiency.
SAVING BIRO LIFE
The general Impression among stu
dents of bird lite is that there are
not as many birds as there used to be.
Considering the way we allow pot
hunters to shoot valuable birds for pie
by the bushel, this is not surprising
When a citizen of Oregon City goes
out with a gun and shoots a bird, he
kills his own friend, an enemy of the
insect pests that destroy our crops.
The damage wrought by those pests
is incalcuable. A crop Is frequently
reduced one half by the work of pesta
If we could but get an abundant bird
life, so that there should be more
birds than formerly, we would do more
to increase our food production than
can be accomplished by our agrlcaV
tural schools in any one year.
Bird saving should be taught In the
our food raising program. The ignor
ant man who goes out with his gun
for a mess of our feathered friends is
an enemy of the community. Some
one should report him. The laws
against this offense are not drastic
enough, and there is not enough ef
fort, to enforce the laws we have.
Bird saving should a taugbht in the
schools. The children should.be in
structed on how the birds save our
crops. If that Is thoroughly drilled In
to them, they will not feel quite the
enthusiasm for getting out with a gun
later to do this mischievous work.
Posters 1n foreign languages should
be put up in consplclous places warn
ing against bird shooting, so that non
English speaking aliens shall be warn
ed against this practice. Ode man
with a gnn can do a great deal of In-
Jury to the crops of his neighborhood
in this way. To him it Is a perfectly
harmless practice. He does not realize
how be and a hundred thousand like
him are helping to deplete the food
supply, and raise the cost of the stap
les they have to buy.
A LACTIC ACID TEST
The President's advocacy of Henry
Ford's election as a Senator from
Michigan is taken as evidence that
there is a statute of limitations for
the "acid test" in this year's polities
Mr. Ford's before-the-war behavior
was of the pacifist plus order. His
millions were only slightly drawn up
on to pay for the advertising which
he published broadcast to declare his
belief that the advocates of prepared
ness were the tools of munition
makers, and the like. And we assume
that the total expense of the rid,icul
ous peace ship which was to take the
boys out of the trenches by Christ
mas made no appreciable dent In Mr
Ford's bankroll. However, he spent
all that he thought was necessary for
his pacifist propaganda; and no one
can doubt tnat u he bad bad the op
portunity he would have voted for
the McLemore resolution as cheerful
ly as any of those whom the President
has called to account for so doing.
We do not doubt Ford's essential pat
riotism now. It ia altogether likely
that he has all of the passion of most
converts. But we do not understand
that even that entitles him to take
the chief seat in the synagogue as
soon as he has entered the door. ,
OUTCASTS
Fearing the evasion of the payment
of taxes after the war by emigration,
the Germany Government has en
acted a law requiring persons liable
to such taxes to leave 20 per cent of
their taxable property as security on
leaving the country. It would be in
teresting to know the destination of
prospective Hun emigrants. It will
not be healthy for them in this coun
try for a good many years to come;
they might as well go to Gehenna as
to English or French possessions, and
the South Americans will not receive
them with open arms. It is said to be
in contemplation by the German gov
ernment to increase colonization in
Brazil after the war, with a view to
propagandizing in that country, where
there are already about one million
Germans. But Brazil is now at war
against Germany, and the scales have
fallen from her eyes with respect to
German intentions. It will probably
be healthier for the Hun to remain
at home and pay his taxes, at least
until Germany has produced a new
generation which was not fattened
on human blood and "kultur."
IN TO WIN
You may be in doubt as to whether
we are in this fight for democracy, I4
self defense, for the freedom of the
seas, to avenge the Lusitanla, of what
not, but there is no doubt that we
are in this fight to win. Reasons are
of minor lmprotance. Winning with
as little cost of life, as possible,
the whole thing.

WORK RULE ENFORCED
SAN FRANCISCO. July 22. Every
ablebodied man in California, regard
less of age or wealth, must work dur
ing the war. An order to this effect
was issued Sunday by the state coun
cil of defense.
T
A crew of men In the employ of the
Southern Pacific company is engag
ed this week in installing a wig-wag
automatic signal at the railway cross
Ing at the foot of Singer hill. One of
the signals is also to be established
at the crossing at Eleventh street and
Railroad avenue. Both these points
are dangerous crossings, and many
strtous accidents have been narrowly
averted. A clear view of the track
is obstucted at both points. Ringing
bells have not been sufficient to hold
the traffic back, and the wig-wag
signals are being Installed to prevent
careless drivers from Ignoring ap
proaching trains. The system works
by swinging a semaphore from a post
near the road, and this keeps in mo
tion until the track la clear. The au
tomatic bell also continues to ring
until the train has passed. .
BY OWN RIFLE IN
Charles Swope was seriously
wounded a few days ago, when he
was accidentally shot by his own
rifle while bringing sheep into camp.
Swope was assisting in driving the
sheep from the range, and his rifle
was accidentally discharged, the
shot penetrating the young man's leg.
fearfully lacerating the flesh from
knee to hip. He was removed to the
Salem hospital, and as soon as he Is
able to make the trip, he .will be
brought to this city and taken to the
home of Miss Alice Watters on Ten
th and Main Street, where his sister.
Miss Mary Swope, Is making her
home. Mr. Swope's parents reside
near Motalla, and near where the ac
cident occurred.
LAST OF 1918 GLASS
EPHYSICl
The examining physicians tor the
local exemption board have put the
last of the 1918 class of registrations
through their paces. At the same time
they also examined 35 class S men,
who were called in for re-classifica
tion into the limited service group of
class one. Just how many of these
will be reclassified is not yet known.
Drs. Hugh and Guy Mount are also pre
paring for the surgical operations on
group a boys, and the first ones
will be called for next Monday. Two
will be hanlded that day, and four on
the following Wednesday.

in France.
FIRST NATIONAL
BRINGS ACTION
ON A 1912 NOTE
The Firsct National Bank, oi this
city, has commenced action in the
Circuit Court to recover on a promis
sory note, given in April, 1912, by E.
W. Bunnell, Mrs. L. J. Bunnell, and
B. D. Bunnell. The amount of the ob
ligation is $30, and the note stated
that it would fall due In 30 days from
the date of making. In the time since
It matured, but $3 haB been paid, ac
cording to the complaint, and the

Winter Use of Dried
Products
By Ellen I. Kellcy
(Director, Department of Household
Selene, National War Garden
Commission, Washington
D. C.)
The reward tor past labors and the
pleasure of working out a process to
the finish comes to the housewife
when she takes her dried product to
prepare for table use in the winter.
Send to the National War Garden
Commission, Washington, for a free
drying manual, which will be aent
you upon request. Enclose a 2-cont
stamp to cover postage. It should be
remembered that the amount of
water dried out of vegetables or fruit
must be largely restored before they
are In proper condition for cooking.
This takes time.
As a general rule, the longer th
time required for drying, the longer
the time necessary to restore the
moisture content. This Is done by
soaking In cold water. The soaking
products should be kept in a cool
place. Fruits may be soaked over
night.
Allew three to four times as much
water as dried product and cook In
the same water. This water In which
the products have been soaked con
tains some of the mineral salts or
some of the Juices, and Is therefore
of value.
Avoid ovcr-soaklng. Dried, sliced
beets. If soaked too long, lose their
red color and good flavor. Soaking
for two hours (two parts water to
Corn Is another product which should
one part beet) should be enough.
not be oversoaked. Four hours U
usually enough. It Is not necessary
to soak until products are fully , re
stored to natural shape; they will ab
sorb moisture while cooking. It Is
practicable in some instances, espe
cially when vegetables are finely
shredded, to pour hot water over thera
and cook at once.
When cooking dried vegetable or
fruits a better flavor is secured by
cooking in a covered vessel. The
casserole is to be especially recora
mended for fruit. The Commission
will be glad to answer any questions
wrltted on one side of the paper end
sent in a self-addressed stamped en
velope.

Mrs. R. M. C. Brown, a prominent
resident of Oregon City, who resides
on Molalla Avenue, who was stricken
with paralysis at her home Monday
morning, is Improving. Mrs. Brown
was enjoying good health, and was In

stricken. She was found lying on the
ground by a neighbor little daugh
ter, who summoned assistance, and
the family physician called. Mrs
Brown was able to have the use of
her arm Friday afternoon, and a!

NEW RULES AFFECT NINE
The clerk of the selective board
announced Saturday evening that
new regulations for the physical
qualifications of registrants had been
received, and that It would now be
possible for them to accept men 60
inches In height, whereas the past
regulations called for a mlnuraum of
63 inches. Men with bantam weights
of 110 pounds will also be accepted
now, which Is a reduction from the
former rules. It is expected that these
broader provisions will give the
class one ranks thousands of more
good soldiers, and in Clactamas coun
ty there will be nine to come into
service under the physical qualifica
tions. How to Protect Cu
cumbers Cover each hill with cheesecloth
supported by pieces of hoops or fast
ened over the open top of a box with
out a bottom. This will protect the
plants from insects. Leave this pro
tector on as long as possible and when
It is removed begin spraying with
Bordeaux mixture and arsenate of
lead. Repeat every ten days. If this
does not control the disease pull up
and burn the plants. Dusting with
equal parts of lime and tobacco dust
Is helpful to keep off insects.
The anthracnose is a serious dis
ease appearing as brown spots on the
leaves and may kill them. It spreads
rapidly In moist, warm weather.
Thorough spraying with Bordeaux
mixture will partly control It so that
a fairly good crop may be obtained.
Spray every ten days.
There is another disease causing an
gular shaped spots which at first look
water-soaked, but later become
whitish In appearance." This Is worst
In wet weather. The downy mildew
has angular spots which turn yellow
and cause the leaves to curl and die
In a few days. The spraying for other
diseases will help control these two
also. Further details on this and
other points in regard to the care of
vegetables are contained in the war
garden manual which any reader of
this paper can secure by simply writ
ing to the National War Garden Com
mission, Washington, sending a 2
cent stamp for postage.
Another trouble for which spraying
will do no good after it shows on the
plants Is called "wilt." This attacks
plants six or eight inches high and
causes them suddenly to wilt and die.
Pull up and burn them at once. Pro
tecting the plants from Insects by
spraying and using cheesecloth cov
ers will prevent much spreading of
this disease.

goodies, letters and papers. He Is one
of the young men, who Is desirous of
"keeping up with the times" of his
home town. "Scoop" hns been puzzled
over tho care of his prize Silver
Camplnes that he has been raising at
his home near Harrison Street. His
brother, Harry, came to the rescue
and has promised to give them the
best of care until "Scoopjs" return
from the war, but before leaving
Young presented three of his finest
birds to L. Gootz, of Orchard, Wash
There was another job that worried
"Scoop." ThlB was fire chief of Ore
gon City. He has made one of the best
chiefs the city has had, and was al
ways "Johnnie on the spot" at the
sound of the fire alarm. He resigned
his position a few days ago. By leav
ing his position as chicken fancier,
fire chief, and all-round man at the
Peerless Bakery, "Scoop" has no
worries now, except to climb out of
bed In the mornings at Camp Lewis,
and to get to bed on time when lights
are out, as well as to be at drill on
time.

Deur Cousin Anna: How Is vory
little thing In Gladstone and Fern
Ridge? Here in this place everything
Is tres boln. In this town of -H
whore we are doing our bit toward
winning this war. It is bloodless, but
not sweatlens, and trlolosa too, as
we are on the go all day long drilling
new men. Nufsed.
I went down town this afternoon
and took In a Fronch circus. It wns
some circus to gay the luast. Mostly
circus by name only. It took us all
of five minutes to see ilu wholo thing
from start to finish. They had one
or two monkeys and several men and
dogs. After viewing this most wonder
ful aggregation of world wonder we
went to a park to find some ahude.
The park Is quite protty. There are
a great varloty of troea, shrubs and
flowers there. We got in the shade
of a reul American fir tree. That troe
smellcd quite natural, even If It was
In a foreign land far from home.
Goe, but it Is warm here now. I
am ag brown qb an Indian. The hide
is all peeling off my face and my poor
nose is awful sore. Otherwise I am
enjoying the best of good health.
