center ot the stage at this afternoon
session of the national aasemb'y, out
lining the entire history of the armis
tice negotiations. Hi8 statement was
im reply to a bitter personal attack
upon him by Delegate Voglcr, of the
German People's party.
The house waa in an uproar for the
better part of an hour, first In protest
against Herr Vogler's attack and then
in enthusiastic support of Herr Ert
berger. Herr Hmbergcr told the house many
things about the armistice which were
either unknown to' or had only been
suspected by his hearers. One of these
was his unqualified statement that it
wus Prince Maximilian of Baden who
had approached the entente because
of the "iron compulsion of the high
military command for peace." It was
Field Marshal von Hindenburg who
demanded and authorized the signing
of the firt terms, Herr Ertberger declared.

yond them. Troops are piling in too
rapidly for the ships available. All the
men are homesick. One major com
mitted suicide because ot homesickness."

ing back at Schuebel and Dimick, par
ticularily at Schuebel, for attacks
made during the bond issue debate
today, McFarland took from the table j
the bill to cut Oswego from Clacka
mas county and attach it to Multno
mah county, and with an apparent
majority in favor of passing the bill,
the day was saved by Cross in a ban
tering speech which won applause
from the house and an adjournment
before a vote could be taken. Many
members said tonight that they had
switched their votes in favor of an
nexation because of the attitude taken
by Schuebel on the food bill and on
definitely postpone the bill. Cross said
sumed over an hour late today.
Representative Schuebel would In.
he hoped they would wait until the
he hoped theye would wait until the
house cooled off before a vote waa
taken. "You have been hammerina
me for what Schuebel and Walter
Dimick does. I am under bond up here
to bring them home alive. Between
the hammering I'm getting for Schue
bel and Dimick I'm pretty well beat
up. I make the same proposition as
w as made that the job be turned over
to the devil, and I turn Schuebel and
Dimick over to you with a promise
that you turn them back just alive.
But I submit to you I have treated
you all fairly and I want you to treat
mv county fair regardless of what
those two boys have done. It wouldn't
be fair to yourselves or to my county
just to beat up those two fellows you
are mad at and want to abuse. You've
no business hitting me in the face just
because you want to get even with
them."
Cross told the bouse ot talking to
member after member who had said
they wanted to vote for the MaFar
land bill merely because Schuebel or
Dimick had stepped on their toes. "I
know every road, tree, stream bridge
and path in Clackamas county," stated
Cross.
How about the roads to Oswego
Lake; do you know any good of
them?" Interjected McFarland. .
I wanted to tell you that years ago
I put through, the first decent road
law put through in this state.' said
Cross, "but I've seen hundreds ot
thousands of dollars of road money
wasted In my county and I want to
be Just a little careful about roads.
But I want to say to the Multnomah
delegation that Clackamas county is
the best and most profitable friend
you've got. But I want to say If you
want to rip the vitals out of Clacka
mas county so McFarland can have a
little one-room cabin at Oswego lake,
go to it, but I say we had better hitch
up together and do things for Oregon
rather than pick over this litte bone
because some of you boys are mad.
Multnomah had ten votes solid against
me the other day. Give me ten rotes
and I can raise hell. The men hitched
together for big things can do big
things but if you are doing bad things
you had better look out or it might be
your turn next. If you want to get
even with Schuebel and Dimick come
outside with me and we'll lick the
stuffing out of them, but don't take it
out ot me by passing this bil."

If brass or copper is cleaned with

To remove paint from clothing, sat
urate the spots two or three times

When basting white or light-colored

When grinding stale bread crumbs
