THE MORXIXO OREGOXIAX. TUESDAY, AUGUST 13, 1918. WAR WELCOMED By YOUTH OF GElAfjy Dull Record of Servility Race Gives Small Hope of Revolution. HISTORY LITTLE TO OFFER Victory in 90 Days Universally Be lieved, but All Prussian Plans Go Wrong and People Begin to Question and Ask Answers. JT ATITHTTB ft DAVIS. TV T tL fDnt't to t Kalwr for 14 ye. Copy right. IMS. by the McClure Newspaper feyndlcat. 1 HiKtory furnishes manr illustrations of the long-suffering character of the German people. The dull record of their servility la relieved only here and there by a flash of that spirit of in dependence and love of freedom which has ever been the glory and distin guishing trait of the Anglo-Saxon race. We get a glimpse of this spirit in the uprising of the peasants of Germany in thS 17th century, when their priva tions brought on what was known as "The Peasants' War." With pitchforks j and scythes, they warred on the mill tary and nobility, and their desperation anl sense of injustice so augmented the power of their crude weapons that was only after the bloodiest fighting that they were vanquished in the un equal conflict. Very little was acomplished in the war of social progress throughout th 17th century because of the long series of mars which devastated the continent at that period. It was estimated that by 1650 no lees than TO per cent of th German people had perished through the ravages of war. pestilence an famine. I prising la 1833 Remarkable. The principles of republicanism, brought to the fore bv the French revo lutlon. took root In Germany and bore fruit In 1832 In the shape Of a rather formidable uprising. No less than SO. uoo men gathered at Hambach in the Palatinate to demand emancipation, but Bavarian troops quelled the rebellion and similar uprisings in Frankfort, Bre men, Cassel and Saxony were likewise suppressed. Perhaps the most ambitious revolu t Kn In the annals of Germany waa that of 1S48. when the spirit of democracy was rife throughout Europe. Berlin and Vienna fell to the populace, bu the triumph was short-lived. Genera tYrangel subdued the upjrising, and Prussian troops soon disposed of other rebellions throughout the empire. One of the effects of the demonstration was to secure a constitution for Prtisia. but no sooner was the menace of the revo lution allayed than the constitution ao withdrawn which, of course, was typical of Pruslan statecraft. But even this comparatively recent Indication of a spirit of Independence In the German people Is of little slgnifi cance in connection with a consideration of present probabilities because of the fact that such ideaa have not gained ground since. Ofran People C sited In IS 14. When the war broke out in 1914, the Kaiser had behind him a united people who gloried in his power and were pre pared to follow wherever his ambitions might lead. I do not mean for a mo ment to intimate that there were not many in Germany who were and are as keen for democracy as any Individuals in the world, but I am talking now of the people aa a whole royalty, nobility, srtistocrary. junkers, middle-classes, workers and farmers 98 per cent of the peculation of -the country revered their Kaiser and were proud to regard themselves cs "his people. I shall never forget the -scene In Ber lin when it was. announced in the pa pers that Austria had handed her ulti matum to Servla. ' That evening I walked up Unter .der XJtiden and saw thousands of young men from 18 to 30 marching along with their hats off clamoring for war. Mounted police were on hand but made no effort to disperse the gathering, although no such demonstration Is ever allowed In Germany unless it Is In keeping with the policy of the government to per mit it. I turned to a gray-haired porter standing; In front of a building and asked him what it all meant. War Praapeeta Elate People. -They want war!" he answered, "There- 10,000 of them and they're on their way to the Russian Embassy. Poor fools! I've been through two wars against Austria in 1666 and against France In 1870 and I know what it means. These young men will learn too. to their sorrow, before it's over. There wak a time when the hand of Germany was extended to the world downward aa a sign of friendship, but now it is stretched out upward to grab all It can get!" This old porter was wise enough to realize the dangers which those higher up Ignored. On every hand there was evidence of elation among the people at the early prospect of going to war, and their en thusiasm continued long after hostili ties began. The Germans had been told by the newspapers that the war upon which they were embarking was forced upon them and that the rest of the world had jumped upon Germany's neck and was seeking to dismember the empire be cause it was Jealous of German com mercial supremacy. They were likewise promised that the outcome of the war would secure the "freedom of the seas" and give Germany an opportunity to meet England in the markets of the world on an equal commercial basis. Better laferssed Net Fooled. To what extent the people believed the official explanation of the purpose of the war. I am not in a position to say. Many undoubtedly accepted it at lta face value, and gloried in the pros pect of Germany's triumph. The bet ter informed, knowing that every port In the world was open to German boats and that, in fact. 80 per cent of th German foreign trade was with Anglo. Saxon nations, must have been at a loss to understand what was meant by th "freedom of the seas" which Germany was so anxious to secure. But whether they saw through their government's pretenses or not. practi cally every German In th country went Into the mar with a will, determined to uphold German might and establish the national principal of "Deuttchland uber allea!" It was confidently expected by all that the war would be over within 90 days at the outside, and there can b no doubt that if the German programme had been carried out to a successful conclusion the position of the Hohen sollerns would have been secure for many generations to come. Victory would have so reinforced the founda tions of the empire that It would have been proof against political agitators, 2 believe, for hundreds of years. Democ racy would be crushed the world over and all that has been accomplished in the past 1000 years would go for naucht. BuV'tWCeVraan' plan did not' suc ceed. It went wrong right from the start. Belgium proved an unexpected obstacle, the English came In, Paris re fused to fall, the French held their own, the Russian hordes proved a real men ace, and after the great, lumbering German macnine bad traveled a certain distance on its original impetus it waa brought to an unforeseen halt. It was very awkward for the government, be cause It waa all so different from what the people had been promised, and it wouldn t do to shake their confidence. To keep the facta from the public, the preas waa put under rlgoroua super vision, and none of the reverses which the Germans encountered, none of the political mistakes which they were con stantly making, none of the unfore seen difficulties which were developing, was ever published until the people had been gradually and skillfully prepared to receive the bad news, while general Information concerning some of the misfortunes was suppressed entirely. In this way the second year of the war found the German people with their faith in their leaders compara tively unshaken. Disasters had been so skillfully concealed or minimized and victories had been so widely circulated and magnified that the people were. If possible; more solidly behind the war and keener for its vigorous prosecution In 191S than they were when it started two years before. SoclaUsts Not I'alted. On May day. 1916. the Socialist Lieb- knecht addressed a crowd In the Pots- damer Plata, and his diatribes against the Kaiser were so distasteful even to his own supporters that they unani mously turned against him when he was arrested. The criticism was made that as he was a member of the Reichs tag It was undignified for him to speak openly against the government from a barrel on the public square, and many Socialists with whom I afterward talked aald his arrest served elm right. Then Scheldman became the most conspicuous Socialist in the public eye, but he has developed into a most con servative advocate of socialistic prin ciples, and, indeed, the whole party has Deen torn to pieces Dy dissensions ana Internal differences. The Socialists were never less of a problem to the government than during the early years of the war. When, however, the food shoi began to grow to serious proportions and the people were put on such meager rations that the pangs of hunger and th ravages of disease became a con stant reminder of the war and its con sequences, a spirit of unrest became noticeable. No one seemed to care very much that the war which was to be over by Christmas, 1914, was still very far from over by Christmas, 1916, so long ss everyone had plenty to eat and the German cause was everywhere triumphant. But when the ordinary mode of life was being constantly changed by one military restriction after another and the pinch of hunger and deprivation began to be felt throughout the empire, the'n the people began to ask questions. aeatloas Difficult to Answer. Why t iven't the U-boats subjugated the English fleet and opened the Ger man ports, and together with the Zep pelins brought England to her knees? Why does the war, which was to be over in three months, now enter its third yearT Why are we pressing into Russian and French territory if our only object Is to defend our borders? Why are we suffering for lack of food and clothing, if we are winning In the field? By th time America came into the war, in April, 1917. conditions had be come very bad from an economic stand point and the murmuring of the people was becoming more pronounced. Peo ple were now not only asking ques tions: they were beginning 'to insist upon answers, strikes were breaking out all over the country. Robbery and bribery were never so rampant in th history of the nation. The birth rate had declined at an alarming rate and the death rate among civilians was rapidly climbing. Poor food and insufficient nourish ment were beginning to make them selves felt and seen. The nation was being slowly but surely starved to death and the people were beginning to realize it. Ersatz substitute foods were not enough to satisfy phys ical requirements. They might deceive the eye but they couldn't deceive the blood. Suffering Indermlaes Faith. The suffering that the people had to endure began to undermine their faith their -ulers. I heard murmuring on the streets and In the streetcars, and patients who came into my office were not hesitant in expressing themselves freely about the outlook. In October, 1917, through the influ ence of a prominent uerman officer, mho was a patient of mine. I secured permission to accompany my wife to Warnemunde, from which port she was to sail for Copenhagen. On the way baok to Berlin all the available seats in the first and second- class compartments were taken and : had to occupy a third-class compart ment In the train. Although this was somewhat less comfortable, I was rather glad of the experience because it en bled me to overhear an extremely en lightening conversation between the even or eight passengers who shared the compartment with me. They were f the common people the backbone of the empire and their point of view was well worth consideration. As soon as I realised the drift of their remarks, I sank down In my corner seat and pretended to b asleep for fear they would be more guarded In their utterances if they realized or sus pected that a foreigner was listening to them. One or the group was a soiaier returning to the front after a furlough which had been granted to him for th purpose of burying his daughter. When e had arrived home ne naa round mat is daughter had died from the effects of under nourishment. There was not a single member in that group and they wer apparently 11 stranrers to each other wno hesi tated to say exactly what he felt and not a single word was uttered In favor of the erovernment. After the Russian revolution had re sulted in the overthrow of th Caar, I heard two workmen at the railroad sta tion discussing conditions. "If we had any tense and weren't such fools, we'd start the same thing over here," l over heard one declare. "Our government la treating us worse than th Russian government." (TO ue conunuea.)

BY LEONE CASS BAER. Some of us are born with pasts, a few of ns achieve pasts, and Polly, a mln ister's daughter from East Gllead. Ohio, which Isn't on the map, had her past thrust UDon her. Left to herself. Polly had no past She had a rather humdrum present, act ing as a mald-of-all-work in the apart ment of a bachelor, as a means toward the end of cultivating her voice in Eu rope. This waa before Europe ceased to be the Mecca of voice trainers. It was in the good old days. Polly could have stayed In the afore mentioned village In Ohio and sung so prano in the choir all the rest of her life, but Folly was ambitious. She yearned for a future, in grand opera on the concert stage or Chautauqua work. anyway. So Polly went to work to earn the money to have her voice done over. Which briirgs us to "Polly's Past." which is present at the Heilig until Thursday night. Among the frequenters of the studio where Polly's employer decorated (he was an interior decorator) was one young- man. Rex, with millions, and no spine or much gray matter to back it un. He was cherishing a wild devotion, unrequited, for one Myrtle, a maid whose sole ambition in life was to reform rakes. Rex couldn't qualify as a rake, for it wasn't In him to be one. So he took up space and other people' time sighing about Myrtle. Humorous Situations Score. Then the Interior decorator and an other chap and Polly and Rex, hatched up a scheme to goad Myrtle into caring for Rex. It swung upon that old Ovid- Ian pivot about the art of love "to make him (or her) jealous." To make Myrtle Jealous. Naturally there must be someone for her to be jealous of. So Polly, demure, pink and goldy Polly, was dragged forth and rigged out with a scarlet past tacked onto her that would make Cleopatra's history read like the telephone book. All Polly had to do was parade her self and her Gaby Deslys clothes and her Parislenne accent (Polly's mother fortunately had.been made French by the playwright and Polly had inherited a perfect accent) up and down the little world where moved Rex and Myrtle and their kin and friends. Newspapers printed a few accounts, gossips didn't overlook much that Polly did, and pretty soon Myrtle was doing her life savin? act in desperate earnest, re solved On saving Rex, for herself, from the wiles of Polly and her hectic past, laa Claire la "Charming." From here on I shall tell you no more of the story. It didn't end the way we thought it would. Sometimes plays do not. This one springs a big surprise, and, at the risk of having you guess how it 'ended, I would like to know what became of Myrtle. She was a good girl and while not exactly the type a man wants as permanent deco ration in the flat, still, they couldn't have had any play if she hadn't been so Infernally misguided and a sort of human vacuum cleaner of men's morals. I hope one of the other nice boys In the play married her. She deserved something. A delightful comedienne is Ina Claire, with fine, fresh abilities In the art of comedy and a youthful charm and com pelllng sincerity about her playing that holds us. Whether she Is demure Polly of the housemaid present, or Folly with the home-manufactured hectlo past, flashing in gorgeous plumage, and Jewels, speaking exquisite French and luring the hearts of all men whichever Polly it is, Ina Claire's own charm comes through the role and fascinates. The supporting company is as splen did as an aggregation and as perfectly cast individually, as you might know it would be from reading the names: Cyril Scott. H. Reeves-Smith.

CAREER ENDS Passing of Singer Recalls "Mllk- Bath" Pnblclity That Heralded Her Appearance Before American Public. NEW YORK, Aug. 12. Anna Held, the actress, died here today after an illness of several months. Miss Held had been ill since .April of a rare malady known as myeloema. a disintegration of the spinal marrow, and her condition was r.eported several times as critical. She rallied repeated ly, however, and until attacked by pneumonia a few weeks ago was re garded as on the road to recovery. Anna Held was born In Paris, in 1873, of a Polish mother and a French father. tTpon the death of her father the family moved to London where for two years prior to going upon the stage, Anna was a street singer. When Is years old.. Miss Held re turned to Paris after touring Holland and other countries with a comedy company and after that appeared In all the European capitals. When she came to New York in 1896 the American public's desire to see and hear the Parisian had been whetted by stories of the perfection of her com plexion, which she was reported as sus taining by means of daily milk baths. and the charm of a French concert hall song, "Won't You Come Out and Play Wiz Me." For more than 10 years Miss Held was In a musical comedy on the Ameri can stage nearly every year, appearing part of that time as one of the stars in plays produced by Florenz Ziegfeld, Jr. Miss Held subsequently was mar ried to Mr. Ziegfeld, but after several years they separated. A daughter. iviane tteia. now a years old, born of a previous marriage, Is now on the stage. Miss Held's last appearance In Port land was with "Follow Me," whlen opened at the Heilig on December 13 of last year. At that time she was in failing health and for some days was under a physician's care at the Hotel Portland. R. H. Back, of the Superior Court of Clarke County, died July 19 of wounds received in France. So this makes two from this city who have been killed. Two brothers, Fred and Robert Mc Eneny. reported missing in action, have been located in a prison camp at Gels sen, Germany.

BacK, son or Judge Pressing' Need of Study of English Language by Immigrants Shown In Census Figures. . Preaching the gospel of a unified America, with one language and one National Ideal, Mrs. Edwin Arnold, of New York, .arrived in Portland last night on the last lap of her long coast to coast trip by auto, under the auspices of the United States Bureau of Educa tion. Mrs. Arnold, who volunteered her services in this work, carries the auth orlzatlon of the National Security League. She is a special representative of the National Committee of One Hun dred, appointed by Dr. Harrison H. Wheaton. who arranged for her tour. The great object of Mrs. Arnold's trip Is to Interest the several states in pro viding for the education of aliens, espe cially in the study of the English lan guage. Everywhere she Is meeting with hearty co-operative response. Quoting census figures, Mrs. Arnold demonstrates the pressing need for ed ucation among our alien population. There are five and a half million people in the United States who cannot speak English, and still more significant, a million and a half of these are native born. Bringing the facts nearer home, Oregon in 1910 had 103,000 persons of foreign birth, mostly of German, Cana dian and Swedish origin. Of these, 13. 631 weiy unable to speak English, and 6120 were Illiterate. Portland's foreign born population In 1910 was 43,780, of whom 4200 were unable to speak English. BIG MERGER ASSURED TELEPHONE COMPANIES IN PORT LAND TO BECOME ONE SYSTEM. Authorisation Received From Postmaster-General to Proceed Immedi ately With Plana. The Pacific and Home telephone com panies will be merged within a short time and Portland soon will have but one service. Statement to this effect was made yesterday by Claude McCol loch In speaking to Oswald West, re ceiver for the Home Telephone Com pany. Mr. McColloch' made the an nouncement after receiving from Postmaster-General A. S. Burleson the fol lowing telegram: No objection to your proceeding with consolidations as outlined in your telegram. Submit final proposal to me before consummating the deal." The telegram referred to was sent to the Poetmaster-General August 7. stating the conditions prevailing In Portland In the two competing compa nies and asking If the merger would be satisfactory. It was stated by Mr. West that the bondholders of the Home and Pacific companies had agreed to the purchase of the Home plant at the appraised value. This is an equivalent of 70 per cent of the bonds, which have a face value of 12,724,000. The Home phone will sell, in short, for 11,906,800. By a Federal District Court order in 1914 the Bell Company had been restrained from absorption of competing lines, but 10 days ago it petitioned for a modifi cation of thtt order so that it might taice over me nome pnone. Two weeks ago foreclosure action was started In Multnomah Circuit Court by the Los Angeles Title & Trust Com pany on behalf of the bondholders. It s said the foreclosure will not be In terfered with. Is is said that it will take about a year to make the complete change necessary to the merger. William H. Cook Passes. SALEM, Or., Aug. 12. (Special.)
