With the American Array.
The great events in Champagne and
in tha north, In which the Americana
take a very koen Interest, havt com
pletely overshadowed their own ef
fort to tho west of Verdum. Yet It
mtmt be remembered that the Amer
ican are playing an important part
In the flghilng, even If thla merely
consist in retaining opposite to their
sector a certain number of German
divisions that might otherwise be
transferred to any of the now active
front.
The Americans, however, have uo
Intention or sitting still, and there It
Httlo doubt thnt tho (iermans oppos
ing them art in difficulties. How well
the American have been fighting re
cently I illustrated by the work of
certain unit, the majority of whose
troop hull from Oregon.
This unit had never been under Are
before starting from Just to the cast
of Yauquot. It astonished the whole
army by advancing to the extent of
6 12 mile in the first day of the drive.
Veryn and Eplnonvlllo fell to It, while
It met and defeated one of the Gaurds
division on the way, and then again
fought with another Guards division
held in support.
Apparently It prores was Irresist
ible, it reached and fouxht on that for
midable system of defences, the north
Ilognn Btellung, and despite all the
machine-gun fire and counter-attacks
thnt the German In their desperation
threw at It, held tenaciously to Its
gains, refusing to yield anything under
pressure, and only finally withdraw
ing a very short distance In conformi
ty with the rest of the lino.
Yet It task waa far from easy. The
men hud to wade through the Hols do
Choppy und the ltols de Very, and thon
ascend the slope Just south of
Kplnoavllle. Thut they, a unit without
me aiiKiuesi experience, ana unaq
qttiittited with the sound of bullet and
shells, could accomplish their ml
sion with such speed and decisive
nes forms a fine testimonial to the
qualities of the fighting men now arrlv.

PEACE
LONDON.. Nov. 12. 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.
Holland Is stud to be preparing to
Intern William Hohenzollern and his
son, tha former crown plnce, aa well
as other military oflicers who sought
reiuge wim mem oy crossing tne
Dutch frontier. This action may pre
vent the foimer emporor from return
ing to Germany should events take a
sudden turn and following the exam
ple of Napoleon In 1810.
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. The man who,
since December, 1916, has been oc
cupying the throne, of Austria-Hungary,
Is today plain Charles Hapsburg,
according to a Copenhagen dispatch
to the Exchange Telegraph Company!
quoting private advices from Vienna.
The exact date and the immediate
circumstances of the abdication of

OFFICIALS CANCEL
DRAFT FOR NOVEMBER
WASHINGTON, Nov. 11. Almost
the first action of the War Depart
ment today after announcement of the
singing of the armistice with Germany
was the cancellation of all army draft
calls, under which more than 309,000
men had been ordered to entrala lor
camps before Novtmber 30.
Urgent telegrams, prepared three
days ago at the direction of Provost
Marshal-General Crowder, were tent
to all local draft bards directing that
the movement of 252.000 men under
orders to entrain between today and
Friday be stopped immediately.
The telegrams reached most of the
boards in time, but a few are known
to have started for camp. Secretary
Baker said, however, that wherever
possible their immediate return to
civil life would be arranged.
"I have suspended further calls un
der the draft and Inductions," Mr.
Baker said. "There will be for the
present no additional men brought In
under the draft, and to the extent that
we can we will turn back those men
who have been entrained and have not
yet reached training camps."
The Provost Marshal-General's of
fice had no estimate of the number on
trains before the cancelling order was
Issued, All men assembled for en
trapment discharged from the army
and paid accordingly.

doubt until the final count was made,
Ed, Fortune, Democrat, won .the con
test, over Henry H. Hughes, Republi
can, by a majority of 143 votes.
The contest first gave one the lead
and then the other would have the
majority, It being this way through

SAYS 10, HANG
HUN Ml
NEW YORK, 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, , .

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.

COPENHAGEN, Nor. ,13. The rev

Socialists and non-Bolshevlkl appar

the Tldende declares that the Spar

The dispatch adds that the soldiers'
representative at the meeting Sunday
of the 8oldiers' and Workers' Council
energetically opposed the plant of tho

After the formation of the new cab

Haase and Dittmonn withdrew their

Fresh fighting broke out in Berlin
on Monday, according to messages re

Loyal officers opened fire from the

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

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

WASHINGTON, Nov. 13. Switzer
