Germany has requested the president of the United State, according to a Germon wire less message from Derlln, to arrange Immediately for the opening of peace negotiations, there being a pressing danger of famine " Defeiited on the battlefield, deserted by their emporor and subjected to terms tantamount to unconditional surrender, the German people made an appeal to President Wilson. Condi tions described as "fearful" prevail, and Dr. W. S. Solf, the foreign secre tary, say in his appeal that millions face struvatton If the allies do not take steps to overcome the danger, f Mutinous sailors who are In con trol of most of the units of Germany's navy may, even ut this late date, risk batt'e against the allied fleets rather than surrender . their vessels, under the terms of the armistice. Wireless messages to the various units have been picked up, calling up on the sailors to "defend the country acuinst tula unneard-of preesump tion." This message directed that the units assemble In Sassnitz harbor on the east coast of the Island of Rue- gen, off the Prussian coast.

Allied warships have entered the Dardanelles and British naval forces have occupied Alexandretta. Field Marshal von Hinderburg, who was reported to have fled to Holland with his royal master, has Joined the revolutionary forces. He has asked the Soldier's' and Workmen's Council to send delogates at once to main headquarters. 1 Everywhere in Germany tho mo mentum of the revolution which swept the old regime out of power seems to be Increasing. COPENHAGEN, Nov. 12. Out of the political chaos In Germany a re public appears to be emerging. Con trol at present is vested largely in soldiers' councils, but progress to ward substantial government is indi cated by the fact that riiilllp Scheldt mann, the Socialist leader, has pro claimed from the steps of the Reich stag building that the foundation of a German republic has been established. Tha revolution continues to spread and kalserism appears to be captlulat ing the length and breadth of the country. Germany's new provisional govern ment will be all red, thnt Is to say, the bourgeolse parties will not be rep resented in It. This will not be because of their unwillingness to participate, but becausa the Socialists definitely refused to permit the bourgeolse to en ter the new government. The plan Is to give the Independent Socialists the Vice-Chancellorship and two other secretarial positions. There are Indications, however, that inde pendnta will demand more. LONDON, Nov, 12.

Extradition for former Emperor William of Ger many from Holland and his trial in England on the charge of murder for which he has been indtcted there was urged here last night by James W. Gerard, former American ambassador to Germany, in an Impromptu address before a theatre audience. Asking whether a man shall be al lowed to escape who had "killed so many people that If they were stretched on the ground they would form a line almost around the -en tire world," Mr. Gerard answered his own question with an emphatic "! should say not." . . '"There is a treaty between Holland and England," Mr. Gerard fleclared, '"by which they can extradite the ex kaiser who has been Indicted in Eng land, and try him before an English court I guess we all know what the verdict would be. When the hangman drops the trap he will be doing away with one of the world's' greatest mur derers." NEW HIGHWAY IS OPENED TO PUBLIC MONDAY With the completion of the high way between Canby and Oregon City, has been an inducement to many motorists to travel over the new roadway. This, who have taken this delightful ride! speak highly of the construction of the roadway. By im proving this road, it has lessened the distance to Canby, and done away with several steep grades. . There were over 100 automobiles making the trip over the new high way on 'Monday afternoon , following the parade la the afternoon. T. A. Roots, Toad master, headed the proces sion over the fine new roadway and those making the trip thoroughly en joyed the ride. The scenic beauty at this time of the year is most Interest ing. With autumnal beauty and moun tains in the distance it was a trip that was worth taking. Many went as far as Barlow, where patriotic meetings were being held. Also Canby was visited, and it was at that time when tha Canby delegation came down and accompanied the Oregon City mo torists to this city, headed by the band. It was many motorists first trip taken over this scenic highway. Thel big motor truck ; with hand some American flags flying 'in the breezes, thoroughly impressed many who saw the parade. This truck con tained the draft board and officials and employes of the court house, and was festooned with bunting, , . Gold Hill Canal Tvork on Irrigation project progressing; 25 men employed. MUCH PAVEMENT 1$ CONSTRUCTED AT LOW COST Clackamas county constructed 4.05 miles of standard 6-inch hard-surface pavement during the season Just closed, at a cost per squire yard of 11.0.1 1-2. These figures have Ju.it been made known by the county court and Roadmaster Tom Roots, who is Just completing his third year at supervis or of the Clackamas county's cele brated "home-made" pavement cam paign. In spite of the fact that the average haul fnm tu? mixer to the operations was 4 3-4 miles, and In spite of the fact that materials, and la bor have gone gkyward during the past yeaf, tha county was abl to turn out a nigu-grade product that re ceived tho ffolcial "O. K." by the Port land city engineering department as first-class pavement at an amazingly low figure. With the completion of the final unit a few weeks ago, the county now boasts of 12 miles of hard surface con structed during the past three years. Last year the cost was 91 cents and in 1917 th3 cost was 87 cents per yard, averaging for the three years on the 12 miles built, the sum of 93 cents per yard. These figures are exclusive of grading, but include operating charges, upkeep, overhead and every thing else. The county constructed six units during the past summer, the Con-1 cord unit, a piece between Milwaukie and Rusk hill, a tract through Glad stone, 1500 feet in District No. 12 near the Lewthwaite place, 1700 feet near Clackamas station, and a tract on the ardenwaid-Wichlta road. As the plant 13 located at Bell station, it can read ily be seen that a long haul was nec essary on most of the work. The cost Including grading was $1.19 1-2. In all 138,198.77 was spent in hard surface manufacture, and a standard 5-inch pavement known as "Clacka mas County Pavement," is the product built by Rpardmaster Roots, who finds tima to keep the "hot stuff" going, in addition ' to supervising some 1100 miles of county roads.

The rev olutlon la Cermany proceeds with the Socialists and non-Bolshevlkl appar ently la control. A Berlin dispatch to the Tldende declares that the Spar tacus group, or Bolshevikl, it still a ' minority factor in the government. The dispatch adds that the soldiers' representative at the meeting Sunday of the 8oldiers' and Workers' Council energetically opposed the plant of tho Bolshevik! element.' After the formation of the new cab inet Herr Barth, the Spartacus mem ber, resigned and induced Deputies Haase and Dlt.tmann, Independent So cialists, to follow his , action. Later Haase and Dittmonn withdrew their resignations. Fresh fighting broke out in Berlin on Monday, according to messages re ceived here from the German capital. Loyal officers opened fire from the royal stables and attacked the revolu tionaries with machine guns on the Unter den Linden. Several persona were killed. Gorman Austria has be?n proclaimed a part of -the German republic by the State Council, says a dispatch from Vienna. LONDON, Nov. 12. The most ser ious question of the hour, in the opin ion of soma newspapers here, is how far Europe in infected with Bolshev ism. Some German newspapers and some in neutral countries continue to want the allhs not to push Germany too far to the wall lest she be driven Into anarchy. Some English newspapers consider this as German propaganda to gain leniency.. Newspapers 1n Sweden,. Spain, Hol land and even Norway express appre hensioa over the spread of the red ' flag movement. , . Thj trouble in Switzerland also is causing uneasiness. AMSTERDAM, Nov. 12. Pouplar joy In Holland over the end of the war Is overshadowed by indefinite ap prehensions of Bolshevik troubles and doubts whether a partial demobiliza tion of the army, with an Increase In the bread ration, will euffice to stave off subversive Infection. The revolutionary Socialist party has already issued a. manifesto advo cating Russian methods. Moreover, a new republican party has arisen, aim ing at the abolition of the court, army, navy and diplomacy. While there are no immediate pros pects of trouble, there Is plenty of combustible material. For the moment however, joy reigns supreme, especial ly at The Hague. , - STOCKHOLH, Nov. 13. Russian Bolshevik forces are marching on Fin land. They are threatening the Fin nish seaport of Viborg, 72 miles north west of Petrograd. BERNE, Switzerland, Nov. 13.
