BERLIN, May 4. (Special Cable.)
It seems strange that the entente has
entirely overlooked thus far the Impor
tant matter of bringing to justice the
perpetrators of the Armenian and Arab
massacres. These modern Caligulas of
a whole nation still remain at large.
Where are they? Is anybody worry
ing about them, or are we all accept
ing blindly those earlier reports that
Enver, Djemal and Talaat had man
aged to escape somewhere, to Russia,
Caucasia or Tibet?
We were told at the beginning that
these Turks would figure at the end of
a yardarm. Will the entente repre
sentatives at the last have a moment
to spare for carrying into effect this
necessary piece of justice?
Torlc Brutalities Recalled.
Near the Berlin zoological garden is
a rather quiet hotel where, for instance,
a. person of rather Levantine appear
ance but smooth shaven lives and has
liis being. He is known to the hotel
people as Osman Bey, sometimes also as
Mehmed Bey.
Once upon a time former Ambasa
lor Morganthau knew him, to his great
cost, as the redoubtable Bendri Bey.
chief of police in Constantinople and
later prefect of Pera. This man was a
member of the committee of union and
progress. He was known as one of the
most ruthless and brutal of the Turkish
authorities. In the treatment, or rather
maltreatment of deported Armenians
ne distinguished himself particularly in
company that made achievement of
such distinction difficult.
Leaden Live in Ease.
In a little place near Potsdam exists
tiuite an Ottoman colony, among whom
may be recognized such formerly all
powerful Turks as Talaat Pasha, for
merly Turkish grand vizier and signer
of the famous order which cost nearly
1,000.000 Armenians their lives, not to
epeak of the endless sufferings which
stood between life and its final exit.
With Talaat in Neubabelsberg may
at times be found Ismael Hakki Pasha,
Dr. Buheddin Shekir and Dr. Midhat.
All these were directly and indirectly
concerned in the Armenian massacres.
At present they are all living in
comparative ease and comfort. It is
well known, or ought to be, that short
ly before the great smash Talaat came
to Berlin and demanded 40.000,000
marks in gold so that he might keep
the Turkish empire true to its Teu
tonic alliance. He got the 40.000.000
marks, but never gave any of it to the
Turkish people. He reserved it all
for his own use. Even the murderer
of 1,000,000 persons must live in a cer
tain amount of comfort,
Enver Bey in Munich.
In the lovely city of Munich, now
npset by bolshevism, lived until quite
recently two men of Levantine origin.
One of them was quite good-looking
fair-haired and blue-eyed. In the good
old days in Constantinople he used to
wear a pair of snappy mustaches and
his name was Enver Pasha. We do not
know if he has yet cut off his mustache
and still calls himself Enver, but he
was until recently in Munich.
With him in Munich lives a Turk
who used to wear a heavy black beard.
He once said in Jerusalem to a repre
sentative of the United States, so it is
rumored, that he did not fear a land
so far away as America and would do
unto the Jews and Arabs of Syria what
he wished which turned out to be
plenty.
This person may have shaved off
his whiskers. He and Enver may have
changed their abode once more, but
they will not, as yet, have moved far
away from the heart of Germany.
Germany Murderers' Haven.
( Enver it should be remembered,
was chief instigator and believer in
the efficacy of massacring away the!

in manufactured race minorities. Also,
quite in passing, he amassed- millions
ly getting hold of confiscated estates
of departed Armenians. Also, he used
to let a good part of the Trukish army
do work on his private estates.
In short. Germany offers its hospital
ity to this whole gang of murderers
and allows them to live quietly upon
the proceeds of murder and graft
Various reasons for this course are
assigned by people here. In general it
Is said the German government is the
same as it was during the war in re
spect to impulses. It is said that two
motives may be actuating the present
officials. They believe that Talaat,
Enver and Djemal may again have in
fluence in Trkey, and therefore it is
well to shield them. This belief, would
seem to argue near-insanity on the"
part of German bureaucracy.
More likely it is that too many of
i ficials now in the government knew of
and condoned the massacres of- the i
Armenians. It would not be pleasant
for these men to be faced up with the
responsibility of a Pilate.
Germans Live In lgroorance.
We do not yet know what orders von
Wangenheini had at the time he re
fused to intervene effectually to stop
the massacres. We do know that in the
foreign office still sit bureaucrats of
the time of Von Wangenheim's ambas
sadorship in Constantinople.
It is indeed a notable fact that the
German people have not been informed
to this day of the extent of the Armen
ian massacres. The average German
will tell you he never heard what really
happened.
Plainly somebody has a real interest
In keeping knowledge of the Armenian
horror from the Teutonic people. Hence
the comfortable immunity enjoyed by
Talaat, Enver, Djemal and their asso
ciates. But what of the entente? We have
no interest in keeping these people ont
of the hands of justice. A handful of
soldiers, a corporal's guard, could have
secured the criminals and so forced the
German government's hand. If some
thing is not done quickly the birds win
get frightened and fly to some neutral
country where it will be hard to get at
them, or they will disappear some
where in the wilds of Asia. Five min
utes of your precious time, gentlemen
of the peace conference!

OREGON ALUMNI TO GATHER
'University Day" to Be Generally
Celebrated In All Sections.
UNIVERSITY OF OREGON. Eugene.
May 4. (Special.) "University day"
this year will be observed by graduates
and former students of the University
of Oregon in every part of the state.
In the May number of Old Oregon, the
university alumni monthly magazine,
which will be off the press in a few
days, the alumni council is suggesting
that local observances take at least
three forms in every community: closet
organization of alumni, celebration of
the day in good fellowship and soma
work for the university.
The council suggests to graduates
and former students in Oregon support
for the woman's building campaign for
$100,000 to match the state's appropria
tion of $100,000, and work for the
$5,000,000 reconstruction bonding bill
to be voted on June 3, which contains
J500.000 for buildings at the University
of Oregon.

records show a total of 717 automo
biles and 30 motorcycles and side cars.
It is estimated that more than 100
cars arrived last night. With hotel
rooms unavailable, scores of visitors
were entertained at tne homes of public-spirited
citizens. A corps of spe
cial policemen were on duty in the city
and at the intersection of main roads,
not that they were needed to quell any
disturbance but to direct drivers un
familiar with local roads.
One accident was reported during the
day. Two large cars collided on
bridge near Wauguinguin. The damage
was slight, however, and the machines
proceeded under their own power.
In addition to the day's motor vis
itors, many families entertained week
end guests, and practically all of the
750 Hood River-owned automobiles
joined the out-of-town machines on
jaunts through the valley.
More ' than the perishable beauty of
the apple blossom was seen by the or-

a world market again open to the ap
pies of Oregon, second to none in qual
ity, the growers celebrated the day
as one of promise. The occasion fur
nlshed a topic for the valley's minis
ters. Rev. E. C. Newham, pastor of
the Pine Grove church, preached on
"Apples," expressing in his sermon on
thanksgiving for the new hope of
which the apple blooms are om
blematic.
Tonight, tired after their strenuous
day of entertainment, apple growers,
bankers, hotel keepers and others re
tired ruminating on the subject of good
roads. When the great crowds rolled
westward they carried with them in
vitations to return. And they are com
ing back and bring thousands of others

Much Depends on Peace.
Economic Germany today Is seem
ingly inescapably caught and being
dragged down In the vortex, and the
collapse will continue at least until
peace is signed; after which its per
sistence will largely depend on the kind
of peace Germany gets.
The general situation today is th
climax of rapid developments during
armistice, briefly summarized as fol
lows: .
The military collapse found Ger
many's economic lifts already in a bad
way. On one hand many of the most
important raw materials were lacking
and four years of food shortage had
exhausted the industrious spirit of the
German people. The outbreak of the
revolution gave further Impetus to
rapid economic degeneration. Under
these circumstances the problem of de
mobilization proved difficult, particu
larly as the military collapse made
Germany's demobilization plans, which
had been built up on the fallacious
foundation of a discounted victorious
peace, a total failure. New economic
demobilization plans to meet the de
bacle could not b improvised. In fact,
the problem of economic demobiliza
tion was left largely to eolve itself.
German. Amy Demobilizes Itself.
The strength of the old German army
on November 11, it is estimated, was
8,000,000 men. The problem accordingly
was to get those 8.000,000 back into
peace time jobs as quickly as possible.
The domibilization problem began to
solve itself picturesquely by a consid
erable portion of the army - running
away during the first flush of revolu
tion. Nobody knows how manw Ger
man soldiers demobilized themselves.
but the impression is that the bulk
of the armistice deserters headed for
the already overcrowded large cities
and industrial centers, preferring to
live on unemployment support liber
ally ladled out by the new socialistic
regime, and by way of avocation play
ing spartacist politics.
The non-deserting bulk of the Ger
man array, however, was led back and
distributed among the home garrisons
in fine order and condition. All critics
agree that Hindenburg and his Chief
of Staff, Groener, did a good job. And
once home in good order, an orderly.
systematic demobilization should have
been possible had not the sound part
of the old army become infected by the
revolutionary fever and become com
pletely demoralized.
From the signing of the aristice, until
January 1, the old German army disln
tegrated at the rate of nearly 1,000,000
men a week. By January 1, more than
60 per cent of the army, approximately
5,000,000 men, had demobilized or been
demobilized. From approximately 8,000,-
000 men on November 11 the old Ger
man array had shrunk to 3,000,000 men
on January 1.
3,000,000 Still Vnder Control.
From this date . on desertion became
fairly negligible.' The - 3,000.000 rem
nant of the old German army was
again fairly under the control of mili
tarism .though so disaffected, and with
morale so undermined, that military au
thority was glad to wash its hands of
them as quickly as possible.
After the whirlwind demobilization
of December, the rate of demobilization
in January seems almost snail-like by
comparison. The same rapid rate was
maintained, however. The old army
shrunk from 8.000,000 on January 1 to
1,100,000 on February 1.
Demobilization slowed up markedly
during February. Only 400,000 were
demobilized during February, or not
quite 40 per cent of the army left stand
ing February 1. The old army shrunk
from 1.100,000 on February 1 to 700,000
on March 1.
Accurate statistics covering the
strength of the old German army on
April 1 are not yet available, but my
researches indicate that about the same
rate of demobilization was maintained
during March as during February.
About 300,000 men were demobilized
from 700.000 on March 1 to between
300,000 and 400.000 on April 1.
At Least 1.700,000 Unemployed.
" Indicative of the present sub-surface
chaos in Germany, there are no
available statistics showing bow the
nearly 8,000,000 demobilized German
soldiers have been absorbed in the
feverish economic life of the country.
According to a conservative esti
mate. 6,000,000 demobilized soldiers to
day have employment, or partial em
ployment. Probably 1,300,000 are - Job
less unless working for Spartacus be
considered employment. Approximately
300,000 have found employment in the
new volunteer formations of the na
tional army of defense.
Another 300,000 have the doubtful
and dangerous employment of hanging
around their old home barracks until
they can find something more useless
to do; these must be added to the num
ber of totally Jobless, swelling the
grand total to 1.600,000 to which must
be added the 100.000 still sick and
wounded, who will assuredly be Jobless
when they are discharged.
In general, every demobilized soldier
who had a job before the war and who
wanted to work could have his old Job
back. And many are back. In many
cases the host of women who Invaded
German commerce and war Industries
were successfully crowded out by re
turning soldiers. Further, demobilized
German soldiers have been able to take
the places of war prisoners and for
eign laborers, who have either leftH
Germany voluntarily or been deported.
Koreisrn Laborers Deported.
Home labor in place of foreign
labor" has in fact become a popular
slogan, and the strength of the expul
sion movement is Indicated by the fact
that on December 15. 1918. there were
229,136 foreign laborers in Germany.
Between December 15 and March 15
109.000 of these had been deported
"pushed over the border" while 95,000
had left Germany voluntarily, and as
5000 more were awaiting deportation
when last heard from, this leaves only
20,000 foreign laborers in German;
today, expulsion of foreign labor hav
ing opened up over 200,000 jobs to de
mobilized soldiers.
All these various ways and means of
helping the demobilized army back to
earning a living have been approved
and encouraged by the strategists of
the economic demobilization depart
ment. The real constructive work in
connection with demobilization, how
ever, has been along two main lines.
Every effort is being made to turn
the tide of unemployment from the
large cities to the land. German In
d us try could absorb only a small part
of the demobilized army: German agri
culture is hungry for them. By means
of a nation-wide propaganda, every
thing is being dona to. lure the unem
ployed soldiers back to the soil, but so
far with indifferent success.
Jobs for Soldiers Csmptolsory.
The other big constructive economic
demoblllation policy is an ordinance
which went into effect March 31
which makes it compulsory for em
ployers to make jobs vacant for de
mobilized soldiers. This new compul
sory making vacant of positions affects
three classes of persons employed at
present. Employers are compelled to
discharge any employe who does not
need to earn a living, in order to make
room for unemployed who do need to
earn a living. Further, employers can
be compelled to vacate all employes
who did not work before the war but
who accepted employment during the
war in order to make a little extra
money on the side; further, all em
ployes who were in other occupations
before the war, notably in agriculture
and mining, -and lastly all those who
moved to their present Jobs during the
war. The idea is to reduce unemploy
ment in the large cities and industrial
centers by forcing out all who were
lured thither by tha exorbitantly high
wages paid in the war industries dur
ing their palmy days.

. This latter: palliative will, of course
only serve to decrease unemployed in
one place by increasing it in other
places, but the idea is to decrease the
dangerous unemployment congestion in
the large industrial cities. VS ar indus
tries are being cleaned out. the war
workers being sent back to the scenes
of their peace-time occupations, and
wherever possible back to their peace
time jobs.
' The fact that 6.000.000 demobilized
soldiers out of a possible 8,000,000 ha -e
employment or near-employment glvt
a deceptively favorable picture of eco
nomic and industrial conditions in Ger
many. This large figure is only pos
sible as a result of a curious economic
policy of ostrich-like duplicity. Many
employers, in order to give employment
to army men, resort to the expedient
of two or three short shifts, giving
their men only a few hours of work a
day, or a few days a week, keeping
part of their force idle while the other
part works, and in many cases carry
ing ex-soldiers on the payroll without
having any work at all for them. In
many cases this Is done voluntarily; in
others, it is tantamount to compulsion
on the part of the state. It may be
altruism, but it isn't good business;
that way bankruptcy lies.
It is only a question how long this
system of industrial subsidies to par
tially employed or unemployed can be
kept up before employers themselves
will become objects of state charity. .
Farming Will Help Soon.
In general, the demobilized German
army was reabsorbed by the principal
German industries in proportion to
their relative peace-time strength and
importance.
By far the largest number of de
mobilized soldiers went back to the
land, and will be employed this spring
and summer in useful agricultural
pursuits. But by no means all sons
of the soil have gone back to the
farm from the front.
The second largest number of de
mobilized soldiers was absorbed by
Germany's mines. Mining was th
only occupation after the armistice
was signed in which there was a labot
shortage. By displacing woman s
labor and taking the place of war
prisoner labor. probably the next
largest number of demobilised sol
diers got their Jobs back in the iron
and steel Industry, the electrical in
dustry and the metal trades generally
The chemical industry was also able
to take care of its old employes. Hand
some numbers of demobilized soldiers
got back into the service of the state
railways and the postal service. Far
behind all these, and by the same proc
ess of displacing women and war pris
oners, the textile and leather industries.
though near dead, have at least put
their old employes back on the payrolls.
The unemployment allotment paid by
the socialist government is eight marks
a day for an unemployed male, with one
mark extra for an unemployed wife
and one mark additional for each child
up to seven, making a. total possible
maximum unemployment allowance of
16 marks daily. This is hardly suffl
clent to live on, yet probably several
hundreds of thousands of German men
and women have had their morale so
lowered by food shortage and war
strain that they prefer to try and
starve along on government charity
rather than do a stroke of honest work.
This loss of the "will to work" is
one of the most thought-provoking
features in the dark picture of Ger
many today.
