THE MORXIXG OREGOXIAX, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 9, 1918. 3 METHODS PASTOR I PLACED BY BISHOP Fewer Changes Made in Lis of Appointments in Colum bia District This Year. PARISHES ARE DOUBLED UP War Has Cut Into Ranks of Clergy men to Such Extent That Nam' her of Pulpits, Notably Spo kane, Are to Be Supplied. ' PEXDLETO.V, Or.. Sept. 8. (Special.) Fewer changes In pastorates by far than in any other year is apparent in the list of appointments announced to night at the Columbia River Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church toy Bishop Homer C Stunts. The war has cut Into the ranks of the clergymen to such an extent number of pastorates are still to be supplied and parishes have been dou bled up wherever possible. The largest church in the confer ence, the new Central at Spokane, with a congregation of 1600, is without a pastor, though the bishop thought it would be filled soon. There is no chaplain from this conference, but 11 clergymen are serving with the Y. M. C A. and a number of others are in the ranks of the Army. The conference closed tonight, one day earlier than usual, to permit some members to get home in time to vote. An outstanding feature this year has been the splendid harmony which has prevailed, not only on the floor of the conference, but also in the cabinet, bishop Stunts said.

These lines can be drawn on the map as fol lows: 'Alone the River Schedt, passing through Antwerp and Ghent; then to Douia, then to the River Sambre and the River Meuse, passing through Mau- beuge by the canals connecting these two rivers; then along the River Meuse, passing at Mesleres or further south of the River Meuse near the Oise; then in the dark outskirts of the Ardennes Forest, already the scene of many bat ties four years ago; finally, along the Rivers Chiers and Omes, which flow between Montmedy and Metz and which cover the mineral regions of Longwy and Driey. People Being Prepared, By making this line, the Germans would cover their frontier, and thus they might hope, by a supreme effort, to hold back the invasion of Germany by the allies. The German press seems to be preparing Its public for such a move. We see the name of the Rhine appearing again In appeals to the Ger man people to keep up their courage. -Die wacht am Rhein." What dis tances have been covered since August, 914! Bombarded towns on the Rhine are crying out in distress. We know it is 6aid in America that. led by Americans, the allies are march ing toward the Rhine. It is the fatality of history, and it is a necessity. No matter what the chances and the hard ships of battle, the war must continue without truce and without respite. As Marshal Foch has said, ft must be car ried beyond the frontier; it must not top or spare German soil Germany Moat Yield AIL We must not let ourselves be Im pressed by perfidious attempts of the Germans toward semi-capitulation. The German armies must retreat along the roads by which in 1914 they started ut to devour France and to subjugate the nations. They must be forced back cross the Rhine by the allied guns. The Rhine must once again become the barrier of safety between the west and German lust. This is necessary because it will have the sanction of justice. Germany In her turn, must know what invasion and occupation mean. I know she will i not suffer as we have; that the allies will respect the population and the land, but there will be battles in Ger many and their physical entailments. At last voices calling for just chastisement are rising in America as well as in England. We have too many people here who assume that we should be above the natural resentments of this awful tumult, who speak of con ciliations, of agreements and even of the resumption of diplomatic relations BAKER STOCK HAS BRILLIANT OPENING Finished Actors Present "De- Luxe Annie" at Start of ' Theater's Season.

We want, as President Wilson has ably said, a reign of justice, in which all men may carry their heads high and think broadly. But this reign can come only when justice shall hav chastised crime. Americans Yet In Reserve. American reserves have taken part in the battle In toe north, and yet the great bulk of the American Army has not yet participated. Yes, the victory is incontestable, but it must be complete, Let nothing hold the allies from going to the Khine. Uermany is preparing new diplomatic machinations. Don' let us see victory spoiled by the In ternationalists and the agents of Ger many. Have the allies won a battle in Rus sia? The disappearance of Lenine is quite equal to a victory. He must pr- isn sooner or later through some pa triot's blows or In Just retribution for the treason into which he led the Bol shevik!. When will Trotzky's turn come? One can but disapprove of political assassination, but the attempt on Lenine's life is an event of war. It is to be hoped that the wretched govern ment he incarnated will succumb with him, as well as the astonishing: nan dox of official Russia at war with her former allies. Russian Eyes May Open. The Red Guard, a majority of whom are re-armed German and Austrian prisoners of war, are fighting against allied troops, come to liberate Russia. There have been violent encounters in Siberia, no longer with the Czecho Slovaks alone, but against the Japa nese and allied attachments. In the Archangel region the German-Finns are opi'osing the allied advance. Will those who had strange illusions about the Russian revolution at last open their eyes? It might have been easy a year ago to avert the events which have since occurred if the allies had intervened immediately, with po litical. military, financial help. Now we must await events. MAINE ELECTION ON TODAY Campaign Just Ended the Quietest Known in Years. PORTLAND. Maine. Sept. 8. After the quietest political campaign in re cent years in the state, Maine will hold its biennial election tomorrow for the chcoice of Governor, a United States Senator, four Congressmen and the State Legislature. The President's an nouncement of the adjournment of politics for the period of the war has been taken almost literally by both parties. For the first time In 60 years the subject of prohibition has hardly been mentioned as an issue. GERMAN OFFICIALS CALLED Many Reported Leaving Belgium for Military Service. AMSTERDAM, Sept. 8.

Following the established order of premier nights, the occasion of the Baker Theater opening yesterday was gala one. It ushered in the 18th stock season of this splendid and fa mous old company, with a flock of new players to greet the loyal legion, of saKer patrons. The play, "De-Luxe Annie." chosen for the introduction of the players, was I a new one. it has never been presented by a traveling company and so the newness of the roles and the idea of the story had not been robbed of their charm. Flowers, in huge bouquets and in blsr Daskets, found their way across the footlights to welcome the women of the I company, and a packed theater at both matinee and night performances, at tested the interest of Portland theater goers In the stock idea. Theater in Smart Dress. The theater, too, bore evidence! of the gala atmosphere and looked festive In its smart new decorations and furbish- ings in paint and gilt, with a pic turesque and patriotic scene on the new drop curtain and the advertising cur tain an made new. "De-Luxe Annie" is a thief de luxe. a rare, exclusive edition of adventuress. Dual personality enters into the story and we are asked to analyze the work ings of Annie s subconscious mind while we witness a totally different Annie following the impetus of what we believe is her conscious mind. A shortcut, and a fascinating trio it is, in psychology is delivered as a pro logue by John G. Fee, who has a deep. delightful speaking voice. In the role of a doctor he discusses with some fel low passengers in a Pullman the pe culiar pnases or a case which had come under his attention, and as the train rolls on its way to Denver the story the doctor tells is enacted for us, and the play ends with us all back in the Pullman gathering up the tangled ends oi the skein. Story Is Fascinating. The story is all quite fascinating and compelling, with real sentiment and fine philosophies and brisk dialogue. and is excellently enacted. Betty Brice is individual in her artistry, but there's a memory of Dorothy Shoemaker she brings back. Maybe it's her similar coloring, gorgeous red hair and rose- petal skin and big gray eyes. She has a difficult role to appear sane to her audience and yet be a victim of apha sia. It is to this young, charming ac tress' everlasting credit that she suc cessfully and artistically presents both sides of Annie's personality, one by suggestion and the other in vivid dra matic intensity. Albert McGovern Is Favorite. Albert McGovern is a big favorite here and he received an ovation on his return. He plays a lovable role that of a crook who helps Annie while she is a crook, and nobly gives her up when her reason returns. Mr. McGovern plays with his accus tomed sincerity, and all the gay little moods and the dramatic punch we have learned to admire in his work. Slembers of Cast Clever. Lee Millar is a splendid acquisition to the company. As a detective he is uncannily natural. Verna Felton is delightful reformed adventuress. smartly gowned and clever in pato- mime. Lora Rogers, dependable actress and with a loyal following, received a tremendous ovation, which must have warmed the cockles of her heart. She has one of her characteristic old nosey landlady roles. Lovely Geraldine Dare was a dainty and demure French maid who turned out to be de-teck-a-tive. Ben Erway was a dashing second hero, George Webster was a gay dog of 70 who had young ideas, Walter Gilbert provoked a riot as an overgrown hired man, Walter Siegfried portered in ebon and William Lee, Frances Randall and Guy Reynolds were the Pullman tour ists who heard the story.

Krupp Discards Hun Name. KRUPP, "Wash., Sept. 8. At a meet ing of residents of this town and vi cinity, held here last night, it was Resolution of Gold Conference Are Sent to National Committee for Action. SPOKANE, Wash, Sept. 8. (Special.) That gold mines over the country are closing down because of inability to se cure help and a price commensurate with the cost of production Is the opin ion of Maurice D. Leehey, of Seattle, in an interview given out here today. Mr. Leehey, who has been a mining operator in Alaska for years, was the Alaska representative here for the gold conference called by the Northwest Mining Association and chairman of the committee on resolutions. Plans and resolutions were forwarded to Hennen Jennings, chairman of the National Committee, to study gold situations in the United States, and will, no doubt, be acted upon at once. "It is a rather common error to as sume that Germany is involved in any heavier National debt than the allied countries." said Mr. Leehey. "She is keeping prices down and has paid less to her own people for labor and ma terial than have the allies, and very much less, indeed, than the United States is paying. "Our own country is increasing its debt at a terrific rate because we have advanced the cost of everything to ; rates far higher than' have our allies." I WALSH ELECTRIC CO. 106 Fourth St., Bet.
