That the lads from 19 to 36 in

the adjutant-general's office, Instruct
ing the local board to send out ques

Xo definite time for sending out
questionnaires was net forth In the
telegram received Wednesday, but it
was urged to pick out the men who
fa!! within these ages, when the res
Istrutlon returns aro received, and
have everything in readiness to send
the questionnaires Immediately. It Is
evidently the intention of the govern

POLITICAL MANAGEMENT ON TRIAL
Tn the United Statea alone was ownership and operation of rallroadB,
telegraphs and telephones left to private capital and private ownership.
And in fifty years we built more of them, sent more messages and
carried mors passengers and freight than all the rest of the world combined.
The charges for the service were as low and usually much lower, than
the best managed government owned systems in Europe and the service
infinitely better..
We paid higher wages, covered greater distances, and put these great
public atilitles into every town and nearly nvery home and farmhouse.
The war has changed our American system and advocates of perman
ent government ownership as in Europe are using wartime necessities of
riatlon as ,argument to make permanent government operation of largest
industries of this nation..
The result will be seen in the next few years, whether the people will
get better results from political than from business management.
In the meantime do not confuse war measures with peace measures.

Hun Treachery Pays
WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN
FRANCE, Sept. 11. Grim-faced, be
grimed and stained after several days
of desperate, continuous battle, a
platoon of Marines was firing rapidly
but calmly and accurately at the Hun
ranks.
The foe's numbers were tn the ma
jority but the Sea Soldiers' fire was
proving speedily evening.
Suddenly the Huns dropped their
rifles and cried "Kamerad."
The Marines waited for the sur
rendering enemy to approach. When
the foe came within 200 yards their
first lines dropped. They had been
dragging machine guns by ropes at
tached to their belts.
About 30 Marines fell before their
comrades with a yell of rage and re
venge Burged forward. The bayonet
let not a Hun survive.
This is another example of Teuton
treachery. It is told by an officer and
two members of the platoon now in a
hospital.

IN THIS STATE
SALEM, Or., Sept. 9. Highway work

WhatWnTHuns S a y
Oracle Vance Talks
Advises Own Party
HARRISBURG, Pa., Sept. 6. Presi
dent Wilson must be supported by a
Democratic congress, Vance McCor
mlck, chairman of the Democratic Na
tional committee, told the Democratic
state convention here today. "What
will the Germans say if the president
is not given a congress of his own
party?" McCormick asked. The Demo
cratic party, he said, "will never be
saticfted until it kills the kaiser."
SALEM, Or., Sept. 11. Turning over
the State fair grounds here to the.
government for cantonment purposes
is the object of a movement that has
been inaugurated in Salem. At first
glance Governor Wlthycombe is said
to be favorable to the idea, although
some Inquiry relative to the feasibil
ity of the proposal will be necessary
before influence to that end Is
brought to bear directly upon the war
department.
Early today a committee from the
Salem Commercial club waited upon
the governor and placed before him a
proposal which originated in the
minds of leading Salem citizens .The
argument is made that the fair
grounds would be an ideal place for
the establishment of a camp for the
training of several thousand troops,
while additional ground sufficient to
accommodate thousands more could
be procured east of the state grounds.
The buildings already on the grounds,
it is urged, would keep down the cost
of establishing the encampment. The
new coliseum, now being constructed,
is declared to be the largest building
of it8 kind in the United States with
the exception of that in Madison
Square Garden, New York, .and the
sponsors of the plan to bring the can
tonment nere point out tnat such a
building should be a big inducement
to the government to accept the
state's offer, if it is made.
