2 THE 3IORXIXG OREG ONI AX, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 3, 1917. "UNCLE SAM IS NO QUITTER" FRANGIS He'll Stay In War Till Hell Freezes Over, if Necessary, r Says Preacher-Patriot. RIGHT STILL' HAS PLACE TTnitcd Slates Has Xo Delusions, Knows What Job Is, and Is Preparing to See It Through. T7ncIe Sam is in this war to stay until the end. He's groins to stick there until hell freezes over, if neces sary, and if we nave to we'll buy skates for all the soldiers and get the Kaiser." A prep.cher told the Rotary Club that at yesterday's luncheon, and he was not Billy Sunday, but a. patriotic speaker, who did more than touch a few here and a few there. He had every man la the crowd feeling funny thrills up and down his back. The speaker was the Rev. James A. Francis, of the First Methodist Church, of L.os Angeles, who is on a speaking tour for the National "War Service Council, with the particular purpose of helping the boys In the new Na tional Army get a better understand ing of the war and just why they are going after the Kaiser. "My word," said the preacher, "is to talk to the drafted men on the fol lowing questions: First, what is this scrap all about? Second, why is the United States mixed up in it? Third, how can I be fit to have a hand in this stupendous drama? "And I want to tell you there are a lot of people to whom thl3 thing Is a puzzle. Germany "Wanted War. "There is right on our side and there is some right on the other side, and there is wrong on our side and a lot of wrong on the other side. The prob lem was to find out which side is main ly right and which side is mainly wrong and to understand that it is necessary to know something of the history of Europe. "History shows that Germany wanted this war: that it has been part of the German plan since Germany as an em pire came into being. "Germany has had the wrong kind of 'dope.' For 50 years the German people have been told, day- after day, that the future of Germany lay in this war of conquest. "Germany has watched the other na tions of Europe build up empires. Ger many, after its transformation, found that practically everything worth col onizing was already colonized; that if it j was to have anything worth while it would have to take it. "In the days following the assassina tion of Ferdinand such efforts for world peace as the nations never be fore saw were made by all the coun tries of Europe. War could not be staved off. Germany had to have it. AVar's Magnitude X ngueoned. "And its real proportions only were guessed. Kitchener said it would probably last two years. Today prepa rations are going on with more vigor and men than ever. He had no idea that 42,000.000 of the world's people would be taken away from their occu pations for the work of war. "But the United States went into this war knowing what the job was. Presi dent Wilson showed such patience and fortitude as almost made us the laugh ing stock of the nations. So. no one can say that we wanted this war. "Now Uncle Sam is there, and he Is there to stick. And we are going to show that right still has a place in the world. "Speaking of the angle of the soldier fitting himself for the job, we ask of the soldier, 'Are you 100 per' cent a man?' Let us not forget that we are morally obligated to keep this civiliza tion such that it will be worth fight ing for. Civlllzntion to Be Preserved. "Some little while ago, a soldier of record, came home with his arm in a sling, bullet-fractured. He went to his home and found it locked. He went to the public house and there found his wife and daughters drinking with other men. " 'You're not worth' it," was his only comment. "So. while we have a lot to ask of the" soldier, he, too, has much to ask of us, and it is up to those who stay at home to keep this civilization 100 per cent pure." Rev. Mr. Francis also spoke of the work of the Y. M. C. A. This organi zation is grappling with everything coming within its sphere, working on the one phrase, "Gentlemen, what can we do for you?" This body is under taking and accomplishing big things every day. The speaker appeared before the Y. M. C. A. at Vancouver last night and tonight will be at Fort Stevens, after which he leaves for the East. horses. Teams of artillerymen wee J L 1 . ! . , . !

At the end of the lesson, an hour and a half for each battery, the battery goes to the stables and spends an hour learn ing how to care for the horses. The Syrian colony of New York City furnished to the camp Khalil M. El Aswad, who left a good fruit broker age business to train for a commission. He has just been discharged on account of a weakness developed by the train ing, but he is not satisfied to give up his dream of service, and hopes to be given a post where he can use his knowledge of five languages to help "Kan the Kaiser."

The Indian government has prohibited the export of plgiron and waste iron to all destinations, which means the re duction of a heavy amount in the ma terials for Japanese steel mills. During last year Japan imported pig iron from India to the amount of 104, 583,000 kin, valued at 3,613,000 yen. This figure was an increase of 300 per cent over the preceding year and repre sented one-third of the total consump tion by Japanese steel mills during the year. It was reported that some business men, with the support of the govern ment, would try to solve the problem in some measure by starting the Import of Swedish steel shapes. An official In the Department of Agriculture and Commerce says, however, that it will be very difficult, even more so than try ing to obtain steel from America; that Sweden should not be drawn on for steel unless Great Britain is willing to co-operate or Sweden is willing to Increase Its production. According to the official. Swedish steel is universally known as an excel lent article and indispensable In build ing warships or manufacturing ord nance. Last year Sweden produced 1.87.!00 tons of that excellent quality Dut ot that figure only 577,900 tons were available for foreign consumption Last year Japan tried to import some stocks and the total imports came up to 4,637,000 kin for. pigiron, 3,947,000 kin for steel materials, and 1,431,000 kin for plates, but now most of Sweden's products go to Great Britai At present, says the official, if Japan endeavors to draw on that coun try it will be difficult to carry back the purchase or. If space Is secured, pur chase will be difficult. Only Great Britain s willingness to co-operate in this endeavor may give hope for sue cess. .

Chicago Business Men Hear Trai tors Assailed Bitterly. CHICAGO. Sept. 28. Straight from the shoulder. Colonel A. J. Ryan de manded that the people at home stamp out treason here while America's sol diers are fighting our battles abroad. The commander of the Fort Sheridan camp aroused great enthusiasm in an address before the Chicago Association of Commerce at the Hotel LaSalle. "Traitors should be seized and put where no one will know their address." declared Colonel Ryan. "You should get the heads of the treason propa ganda and not pick upon the ignorant rank and file. What right have you to ask your soldiers to fight your battles in France unless you protect their rear from traitors at home?" Clarence S. Darrow followed Colonel Ryan, saying: "We have heard a mad monarch de clare he puts his faith in God and in his submarines but principally in his submarines. We have heard this same crazy ruler speak so familiarly of God as to give the appearance that he be lieves God, too, was made in Germany. "Austria is in the hands of a receiver, and that receiver is the Kaiser. Wil helm first used Austria as a tool to make war and now he is trying to use Austria as a tool to make peace. In both roles Austria has failed, and let us hope it will continue to fail so long as the Kaiser owns both Austria and Germany. . , "The pacifist arguments that I hear today are he same arguments the Ger mans used before they brought the war to thi3 country. The great body of the pacifists are not pacifists at all, but lovers of Germany. They don't want th United States to win. The- want to see Germany win. Our coun try is not perfect, but it is the best country on the face of the globe and it is certainly well worth preservinK1, I know something about the enemict of our country, and while some ar probably sincere, a whole lot of them are not."
