CHICAGO. April 20. I Special.) "If
America Joins the ranks of Germany's
enemies by forcing the crisis created
by President Wilson's ultimatum, it
-will mean in the. end that the war will
end with a thorough cleaning up and
America, will be among those con
quered." The foregoing is a passage from an
editorial published today in the Abend
post, a leading German paper, edited
in Chicago by Paul Mueller, who has
recently returned from Washington,
where he had a conference with -Secretary
Lansing on the German situa
tion. Home Trouble Predicted
"If the American fleet does go across
the ocean to meet the demands of war
on the other side, and America forces
her youth to join the armed forces by
conscription, then the fleet may have
to return quickly to this side to meet
another situation more serious than
the one confronting the Government
in European waters.'"
Other Ftriking- passages in the edi
torial were gravely commented on by
leading German-American citizens.
Move Regarded n Warlike.
The editorial contains the following:
"The die is cast. The pessimist of
yesterday hns become the prophet of
today. What the conservative thinker
regarded as Impossible and monstrous
in matters of vital importance to the
Nation his been realized.
"The F'resident has made, a demand
on the German government, which can
scarcely be satisfied by compliance. In
rase Germany does not comply it is
threatened that diplomatic relations
will h- broken off. If such relations
are broken, then it logically follows
that time, perhaps a few days, weeks
or possibly months, will bring war.
The nice shining gold that the "neu
tral' Americans have received at the
hands of Germany's enemies for war
material, will find its way back across
the oc?in.
Compoliilon Thoasht Kjentlal.
"Then will follow the fleet. Re
eruiting will be stimulated with haste.
"Finally America's male youths will
fine themselves compelled to fight for
the 'honor' of America and the posses
sions and existence of England if they
may preserve the- integrity of that
Nation.
"But it will not be possible to - do
this. Truth, true morals, right and
justice will conquer over lies and hy
pocrisy, injustice and inequity. The
gains of the latter will not lead to
victory. These events must end fin
ally in defeat of Germany's enemies,
even if America be included among
them.
(loom jr Future Foreeait
"However, affairs may shape them
selves differently. The beautiful fleet
may recross the ocean. It may come
back again, in view of the danger to
our own coast. There may be another
call for voluteers to fight for the hon
or of America and the interests of
England will then sink to a secondary
position.
"Any attempt in this country to en
force military service, may lead to
worse than even war with a foreign
nation.
"When it it, a.'l ended, America may
have l-sr its respect and honor and be
considered only as the contemptible
vassal oC defeated England. Nothing
else can be expected from a war that
has its roots dcn in the soil of in
ternational and 'humane' hypocrisy."

Several Portland physicians were vic
tims of a hard-luck story yesterday
from a supposed fnlversity of Mich
igan graduate. Dr. Fred Gullette, with
offices in the Medical building, was
one.
He declares that the alleged college
man's story, which coaxed $10 to $15
from well-known practitioners, was the
most plausible one he had ever heard.
The young man. Dr. Gullette says,
was well dressed and possessed of a
pleasing manner. He presented him
self at the office of Dr. Gullette and
represented himself as a civil engineer
on his way to Roseburg. He needed
enough money to pay railroad trans
portation. The fare, he said, was 14.
Dr. Gullette suspected nothing crooked,
so (rave him $",.
After the stranger had gone. Dr.
Gullette told the story to other phy
sicians in the building and discovered
that three of them had "fallen for" the
same story.
Dr. Juliette said the young man told
him lie had called at the University
Club to get in touch with some of the
alumni of the Michigan institution.
The young man gave his home ad
dress as Hagej-stown. MJ. .

Dr. V. If. Oammaseh, who is ft.
candidate for election to a. second term
as Coroner of Multnomah County.
In his declaration xtf candidacy, filed
with County Clerk Coffey, Dr. , Dam
roaych says: .
"If r-elected to the office of County
Coroner I shall continue on the prin
ciple that the Coroner. office should
be independent of any private interests.
Having established a. morgue indepen

havinc proved that such a system is,
not only practicable but desirable, I

never a sain revert to the old order of

"In the matter of preventable fatali
ties, as in the past so in the future I
shall endeavor to lessen the frequency
f their occurrence by calling the at
tention of the proper authorities to
J he conditions which make for acci
dents." Dr. Dammasch is a native of San
Francisco, where he was born In 1879.
3ie has lived in Oregon since 1883, and
lias been a practicing physician and
eurgeon here since 1905.
Another series of questions has been
fired at candidates for the Legisla
t ure from Multnomah County. This
time the questioner is the Young Men's
1'orura of the First Methodist Kpis
copa Church, of Portland.
"uoh information as we secure will
be read, at some business meeting of
the Forum, before the entire member

A fitful appetite Jn a growing child,

Dr. 'Williams' Pink Pills is demanded.

At a meeting Wednesday ni?ht at
the Chamber of Commerce 44 of the 54
candidates from both Republican' and
Democratic parties for the Legislature
from Multnomah County adopted the
following resolution as expressing their
attitude toward .giving answers to
questions:
"Resolved. That it is the sense of
the meeting that no candidate pledge
himself to vote for or against any
measure unless he have before him the
full text of the proposed bill, but that
he may state his personal views in a
general way to such questions.
Now that Barnett H. Goldstein has
been appointed Third Assistant United
States Attorney under I'nited States
Attorney Keames. he automatically
drops out of the race for the Demo
cratic nomination for Representative
in the legislature from Multnomah
County. This leaves only three Demo
crats as candidates for the 12 nomina
tions. R. A. Willisan. Maria U. T. Hid

All candidates for Republican nomi
nations are invited to speak at a can

DOG MAY BITE ONCE
OWNER NOT LIABLE FIRST TIME,
COSTEXDS DEFENDANT.
Judge Davis May Decide This Nice
Point In Suit for 10,0110 Nan on
Trial Id His Court.
A dog is entitled by law to bite
one person, if it is a first offense,
without the owner being held liable.
For a second attack, the dogowner Is
in danger of a damage suit, for the
canine would have proved viciousness
by the former one. ,
This is the nice legal point raised
by the defendants yesterday in the
suit being tried before Circuit Judge
Davis, in which Dr. K. A. J. Mackenzie
is being sued for $10,000 damages by
Mrs. Kirsten Neilsen, who maintains
that she was badly bitten by three
of the physician's hunting dogs ir
January, 1914.
The defense moved for a non-suit
yesterday noon, which was denied, and
for a directed verdict in favor of the
defendant at the close of the session
yesterday. The latter motion was
taken under advisement until this
morning by Judge Davis. On both mo
tions. Attorney C. E. Cochran con
tended that Dr. Mackenzie could not
be held responsible for the acts of his
dogs, two of which were puppies, be
cause they had never shown any pre
vious viciousness that would have
made it advisable to keep them
tethered.
