Sabotage skulked from the tlmbr
whu the Loyal Legion of Loen and
Lumbfrmco waa organised. Formerly
an evil to be reckoned with In the'
camp, within the stpace of three
months It baa dwindled to a minimum
and all but vanished.
When Colonel Brlce P. Dlsque as
sumed direction of the spruce produc

dif ricjltlrs before htm was the unreel
of labor and manifestations of indue
trial uffllness that bade fair to hold
back the Nation's fighting arm from
the full vigor of Its punch.
In direct opposition to sabotage aod
Its Ilk. the Loyal LKlon stepped clean
ly forth, with as much patriotic pur
pose In Larklins- the timber as a soldier
baa when he springs from the trenches
to a charge, and assured Colonel !que
that he ned have nothing to fear from
the morale of the men who were going
after the spruce.

Joining the Loyal Legion is solely of

through loaI industry In the timber, to

evry spark of sedition. Th temper
of the mrrrbers has cleaned the camps
cr nialionterts like ti: sweep of
strong, clean wind. These patriots of
the logging camps will not work with
one whose heart Is not In the fight.
Instances of the sort are numerous.
At a certain Coos Bay camp one lor
gr refused to Join the Legion. His
fellows, all members of the organiza
tion, promptly quit work, sending word
that they would not rerume until the
man was discharged. They were put
tack on lf Job without delay.
Objeetar Is Overrsme.
A few days am. at a Portland lum
ber mil!, an employe asserted that he
wouldn't sign the Loyal Legion pledge.
The men to whom be spoke drew apart
and held counsel. "If he doesn't sign,
we're ready to quit. they gave ulll

Within a few daya Colonel Dlsque
will snd a number of officers from
the Medical Corps through the various
ramps to make a aanttatlon survey
And to consider every suggestion for
the welfare, health and comfort of the
men.
That Colonel Dtaqua has solved the
ituat:on In this regard la evidenced
by lettera that are constantly being
received by Lieutenant Crumpacker
from men who were at first opposed
or skeptical, but who now assert that
they are convinced of the practical
patriotism of the Loyal Legion, and
who wish to atgn the pled,? of mem
bership. "The man who signa that pledge
wears away no personal rights." says
Lieutenant Crumpacker. "The moral
obligation, however. Is of the strongest
nd moat sacred sort. He pledges him
slf to stick by the Government In Its
l our of need, to 'get out the spruce'
and to put down sedition. The weight
of these men is heavy In the acale for
victory."

The Oregon troops who were fea

Broadway "dark" as compared with the
hydraulic light of Portland's Broad

Westerners found was that everything
waa bigger in the East nothing bet

it wasn't a ligbtless night, either." he

himself with the editor one can only

the editor and the reporter that they
swallowed their disappointment and
told New Tork the sad news. Here
are paragraphs from the article:
" "The people here are sure giving us

"These Western boys had been swept
off their feet by the hospitality of the
people or New lork and the country
roundabout: but they didn't like "the

do not object to the camp, or to the
Army. - They Just don't like the East.
And most of all, they are profoundly
disappointed in New Tork. (Some of

"This does not mean that the Gov
ernment is seeking to revoke deferred
classifications granted to men who
have married since May IS, 1917. The
main purpose of the order is to obtain
uniformity of action in handling appli
cations for deferred classification by

At the same time, district boards
will give careful scrutiny to each such

been too lenient in their Interpretation
of the regulations in this connection,

The Governments, attitude on war
marriages is shown in this quotation
from the selective service regulations:
"On may IS. 1917, every person sub
ject to registration had notice of his
obligation to render military service
to his country. The purpose of the se
lective service law was not to suspend
the institution of marriage among
registrants, but boards should scruti
nize marriages since May IS, 1917, and
especially those hastily effected since
that time, to determine whether the
marriage relation was entered into
with a primary view of evading mili

not to he the case boards are hereby
authorized to disregard the relation

fact that a registrant at present given

"Rale by Force, Even at Expense (
Weaker Haees," Is Declared to
Be Teutons Goal,
A larse congregation heard Dr. A. A.
Morrison yesterday morning when he
preached on "Germany's Purpose." His
text was from Proverbs xxiii:7, "For
as he thinkoth in his heart, so is he."
Dr. Morrison read some extracts from
German authors showing that the ex
pressed aim of Germany was and is to
make the world German; to insist on
what Germans call weaker races be
ing ruled by German thought and
ideals and to use force to obtain that
obedience.
'Germans srgue," explained Dr. Mor
rison, "that" the native population bo
removed from a desired territory, so
that Germany may win what is her
heritage, her 'place in the sun.' ,
"I do not say that all Germans hold
these wicked doctrines," continued Dr.
Morrison, "but at present, Germans,
having been so taught by autocracy,
follow this trend of thought: 'Rule by
force, even at the expense of weaker
races.' I think Emperor Wilhelm of
Germany' is personally responsible for
what has happened along these lines.
We, as freemen, must fight German
autocracy, or be serfs. However, wo
need not hate the Germans; they arc
our mistaken brethren.
