For this new baby in Lowndes square came since the war began. Rancor Cannot Survive. Americans in Germany whoso pleas ure it has been to see that letters about him are forwarded to his father take a genuine interest in his welfare. The person who every week has to glance over the correspondence to see that it contains nothing in violation of the regulations governing letters to pris oners of war never speaks of what he learns, of course, but when he is asked, "How's the maJor"s baby?" he consid ers It no breach of confidence to reply, "Oh. getting on fine!" Then everybody smiles and says, That is good!" Thus that saby in London has be come quite a humanizing Influence in a circle of people who will never see him and to whom both his parents are unknown. Even the rancor of men who are pt work with each other can not long survive the weekly question. "How's the baby?" and the weekly handling of the letters of the baby's mother to the baby's father. So. within a certain circle, this in fant has become not one of the ro mances of this war. but something more potent than that a source of no Blight benefaction. Postman Instrument of Fate. Sometimes there are startling changes in the addresses of prisoners' letters. Little gray envelopes ad dressed In a delicate hand used to come for a certain Scotch major who is a prisoner at Krefeld. One afternoon in the grist from England at Vaals was a white envelope, black-bordered, and addressed in the same unmistakable hand. But instead of "Major . ." the ad dress read "Major the Earl of S- dense and irresponsive and dull men seem to lose what sense the Lord gave them. Some say this is the consequence of nervous reaction after battle, and some that it is sheer dog weariness after long sleepless hours in the trenches. French soldiers have been found asleep irk captured trenches, and once when I met a German officer in command of a train that was crawling out of Northern France toward Germany with carloads of French prisoners I asked him whether his charges made him any trouble. Frenchmen Easily Cheered. "Trouble." he said. "Why, the poor reiiows nave been asleep for two solid oays. iney can hardly rouse them selves to eat. " This in spite of the fact that the men had had little to eat for ten davs. French prisoners have the advantage of their English comrades in that, thanks to their temperament, they soon GREEK QUEEN IS ONE OPPONENT OF ALLIES I RESIDENT OF OREGON 03 a BIHIEU AT ASH LA.D. The heir of a famous house had come into his own and here was the landlord of a little Putch inn blandly poising between thumb and forefinger the let ter which should bring to the heir in prison the tidings of his new place In his native land. ""Tis the fortune of war," as John Talbot. ,of Shrewsbury, said to the Puke d'Alencon when Jeanne d'Arc's men led him before her. The casual neutral is supposed to keep pretty well clear of prisoners of war. not only for his own sake, for it is easy to get suspected of having some traffic with them, but also for theirs. Germans Spire Prisoner Feelings. They do not like to he gawked at. and on several occasions I have noticed that the Germans were scrupulous to spare them from anything that could make their plight bitterer than in the neturo of the case if must be. Still, besides having been one myself, I have seen a good deal of prisoners since August prisoners laughing and prisoners dying prisoners huddled in the shadow of freight cars to escape the blazing sun and prisoners squatting around fires built on the store floors of cold Russian churches French. Algerian and Belgian prisoners at Mau beuge and at the fortress town of Mot tmedy. where there Is a hotel called "The Cross of Gold," and else where in France: English prisoners at Beaumont, where, three days before "Waterloo. Napoleon walked on a bal cony, talking with brother Jerome and "taking note continually of the weath er." and at Chimay, where the former chateau of the notorious American princess of that name stands: and Rus sian prisoners at Lowicr, Bolimow, and Mlawa, and along miles -of the high ways leading into Germany. Varied Emotions Shown. In so far as it is safe to generalize about the state of mind of men in masses I should summarize thus: The most composed, the Turcos. With them their fate seemed to be all in the day's work. As long as the sun shone they were happy and all was well. That was in the hot September days, though, and I have heard that during the chill wet Winter now ended they were very miserable. The most excited, the Belgians. A voluble, distrait kind, with the question ever on their lips: "Where are the English?" The French, utterly wretched. Given to crying a good deal under the torture of their wounds. Not unmanly tears though, and nobody thought the less of them for their weeping. They wept when an American would have sworn -and quite as copiously. It was their way of letting go. Few of the French prisoners I have seen look like men of iirst rate physique. The English, just stunned. "Can this thing be?" written all over their chop faller countenances. And the Russians at least the marching detachments of them weary and forlorn to look at, but their answering expression quite inscrutable to the passerby. Few words out of them. All these were privates, very dirty, very well behaved, and a kind of resigned "klck-me-again" way with them that was extremely pitiful. Tnetlen Races In Conflict. The German soldiers seem to get on well with them, as they do with the French, too. The English they don't like until they get to know them. For this preliminary impression the English prisoners have to thank their squawk ing press and its atrocity yarns. After a few days the Germans and the English get on better, though the guards complain that some of their English prisoners are "fresh," which is not the German word for "fresh." but answers accurately enough to our slang use of the word "fresh." The truth is that when the two most tactless and most arrogant races on the face of the earth come into en forced contact trouble is inevitable. The most curious thing about prison, ers I have noticed is their like stupidity. rniring the first hours fol IdwIiue tvicii- capture olever men pre f WmmmT v- i' S ,-; j Vv I ' A K T ft Mr. Catherine E.

One morning in the captured fortress that crowns Montmedy a detachment of French were drawn up in the ancient courtyard to receive clean shirts. The pile from which a German sergeant took a garment for each man looked clean and that was all that could be said for it. The shirts were all sizes except small and all colors except white. The best of them looked as if they had been the minor bargains in a Are sale and in the Frenchmen they roused as much mirth as gratitude. Captor In Shocked. I Was standing in the middle of the court watching the distribution that went on under a drizzling rain. A Frenchman who had Just fallen heir to a flamboyant shirt of pink and blue stripes went through a mockery of fitting the garment on himself, laying the bosom across his chest, and doing a brief pirouette when the tails fell to his knees. He caught my eyes', as being the eyea of the only neutral object about the place, and began to laugh. I laughed back, and more loudly thn.n he had laughed. A German officer who was standing near by turned on me with a shocked look and I instantly realized that he thought I was making game of prisoners of war. an act that to a sol dler is as despicable as to make fun of a lame man. "I was laughing with the prisoner not at him, Herr Hauptmann," I made haste to say. but the Captain accepted the explanation with only a formal bow. It was ten minutes before he thawed.

Although it rained here nearly all day Thursday, the people of Camas Valley and Brockway turned out and worked on the roads throughout the entire day. In the Camas Valley district a new road 500 feet in length was constructed. This road will eliminate what mem bers of the County Court say is the worst, mudhole between Roseburg and Myrtle Point. In the Brockway dis trict there were 45 men and 25 teams at work. Had it not rained on Good Roads day it Is estimated that fully 1000 men would have been found on the roads. SKl.I.WOOn V. M. C. A.

PALACE FOLK SUPPORT HER Government Cannot Take Sides With Germany and Stands to Lose One Chance of Winning Small Empire, Says Observer. BY ROBERT M'CORMICK. (Copyright. 1913, by the Chicago Tribune. Published by arrangement.) . ATHENS, March 28. On the acropolis a few ruined buildings contain all that is most beautiful in architecture and recall that long-departed race which centuries ago set an unequaled standard in art and literature. Around its base lies a new city so like Paris in appearance, so like an American city in hustle. As the acropo lis preserves the best of old Greece, so does Athens promise a future worthy of the past. Malta, with its thousand church bells ringing more than the hours of the day. with its seemingly, innumerable bare foot vagrants, had given an idea of East Mediterranean life that was to be rudely dispelled on modern Greece. Malta, an island full of parasites. living from the pocket money of foreign sailors and ruled by a military gov ernor. Greece, a nation self-supporting, self-respecting, and self-governed. Greek Self-Government Menaced. Greek self-government, to be sure, is in some danger now and Greece herself cannot be sure what the future has in store. - Naticns far mcjre powerful than she are in deadly strife and in their struggle may trample her in the dust if she be not agile. To her foreign policy i3 due her domestic crisis. M. Venezelos, the political leader, who brought her so gloriously through the Turkish and Balkan wars, reached the conclusion some two weeks ago that the time had come for Greece to throw in her lot with the triple en tente. Under the Greek constitution the king has the sole power to declare war. This Venezelos urged upon the king and the king refused to do so. Venezelos" position Is clear. Turkey, the old oppressor of Greece, is stag gering under the attack of three great powers. Russia has forced the Cau casus, England and France are trying to force the Dardanelles. Here is Greece's chance to Join her lot with the allies, and In the de struction of the Turk free some 3,000, 000 Greek Christians from Moslem rule, and, as a reward, receive a large part of Asia Minor. The task cannot be hard, because the Greek general staff were willing, single-handed, to attack Turkey last May. The klng"s motive is less clear. It may be any one or a combination of influences. ' Royal Divorce Is Possible. In the first place his wife is the sis ter of the Kaiser. Her soul is in his war. Of this there need be and is no secret. It Is whispered, however, that if the King Joins the allies, even against the Turks, she will return to Germany. To this perfectly human pressure, which incidentally shows how the per sonal relations of rulers affect nations, is added another not so excusable the palace crowd. The palace' crowd consists or the brothers of the King and their follow ers, who have not filled a heroic page in Grecian history. They are jealous of the popularity. power and prestige of Venezelos. They are not only opposing his influence with the King, but are said to be I: triguing against him throughout the nation. Against Venezelos also is aligned the general staff. The staff was for war against Turkey single handed last Spring. It claimed to be able to beat Turkey and to beat Bulgaria if Bul garia, in old-fashioned Balkan style. joined in. It was expected that in the event of Bulgaria 8 participation Rou- mania and Serbia would help Greece. Serbia is now fighting for life against Austria; Roumania's action is un certain, so the general staff adds; if Greece should become involved with Turkey she might also have to face Bulgaria unaided by either of her former allies. Venezelos has limited his request for military aid to the navy and a division to fight at the Dardanelles. Slaaaacre of Greeks Feared. His opponents reply that war against Greece would be the signal for a mas sacre of Greeks in Asia Minor, that the army would be sent to their aid and the Bulgarian border left exposed. The Greek officers have largely been educated in Germany, believe Germany will win and prc-bably hope so. venezelos hopes and believes that the allies will succeed. Venezelos refused to fight Turkey in May and was supported by the con servative wealthier class which con trols Greek politics. They followed him when he came out for war and rallied to him when he resigned. Since then there has been conducted a vigorous anti-war cam paign and public opinion is no longer one sided. The future of Greece depends large ly upon the international relations. If she Joins the loser she is lost. If she displeases the winner, she will have no immediate growth in territory. Locatea as she is. sne cannot Join Germany. If she joins the allies and the allies win she may aspire to a small empire.' Venezelos believes in a policy of action. He has with him the prestige of his two successful wars, the ambi tion of the nation, and the hatred of the Turks. Additional Cost Is Weighed. Against him in civil life will be those who fear the additional cost of a third war or who fear that It may lead to the loss of what the two first wars gained. The ship owners who are profiting greatly from Greece's neutrality will not favor war. There is also the palace - military opposition, whose strength is not known. If this party wins it will mean serious consequences for Greece -as a self-governing state, and I suppose Venezelos will make much of this in the coming campaign. ceived attendance certificates issued by Superintendent L. R. Alderman. Among the features of the pro gramme were Miller's kitchen sym phony by the kitchen class and a fashion show by the millinery class. Each department of the school was represented on the programme by one or more numbers. The second annual vaudeville of the Washington High School last night was a complete success. The school audi torium was comfortably filled with stu dents and patrons of the school. Especially good were the "Harmony Eight" comprising Miss Marion Ben nett, Miss Mary lnman. Miss Margaret look, Miss Marjory Rood. Charl Blied. Russell Ballard, Charles Wells and Will Bradley, who sang a num ber of old and popular songs. "Moore, the Magician." and his as sistants. John Lang. Sumner Williams and Morris Morgan, did various clever tricks. The artistic dancing by Miss Marie Kohn and Miriam Hilton showed they had considerable ability. "The Canceled Debt," with Linton navies as the operator, Ben Titus a the brakeman. Sylvan Kohn as the prospector and Earnest" Fatland as the stranger, was a foothill episode that "took." Roberta Downing gave several clever impersonations. Leonard Fran- seen. James Tweed, Harriet Clinton.

Not only German hotels. but hotels with a tinge of German in their names are eschewed by Count Rent de Mont jou, representing: the French govern ment's horse buying department, who arrived to purchase horses here to day. The name of Geiser in the title of Gelser-Grand Hotel made . him re fuse to patronize F. T. Mlttauer's hos telry on the ground that it was "run by a German." Two of his companions, Porten de la Morandlcie, had no such scruples and already had. made their headquarters at that hostelry. When they met their friend at the depot they directed that his luggage be placed in the Geiser bus. The Count was aghast. "Geiser." he said, "a German runs that hotel. I will not stay with him," and it was only after an exhaustive investigation as to the blood that runs through Alex. McDougal's veins before he would go to the Antlers, Mc Dougal's hotel. Then without knowing it. the Count had his razors honed by Paul Herold. a prominent German vereln member, who despite the Count's protests charged 11 for honing two razors, thus making it a German victory for the day.

Mr. Gerard, After Investigation, De clares Pate Quile Tolerable, Considering Circumstances, Amount of Pood Grows. BERLIN, via London, May 1. The Lokal Anzeiger prints an interview with James W. Gerard, the American Ambassador, concerning the treatment of war prisoners in Germany. Mr. Ger ard is quoted as follows: "A diversity of treatment among British and other war prisoners in Germany does not occur. In general, one can say that they are well and abundantly clad. The American em bassy here disposes of funds to pro vide them clothing when the wish is expressed for this, but apart from tha the prisoners also receive everything necessary from the camp commandant. The diet is the same as for the Ger man troops in the barracks. "We receive many complaints con cerning the bread, as the prisoners neither like it nor does it agree with them. However, that can hardly be helped. The meat rations also are declared Insufficient by prisoners, but there Is nothing astonishing in that, as English soldiers are accustomed to a. particularly abundant fare. British officers complain that the sleeping rooms are not spacious enough and that they are imprisoned in company with other nationalities. "Apart from all this. I can only say that the fate of war prisoners certainly is not enviable, but considering circum stances is quite tolerable. The German authorities will take into consideration all representations from us. Regard ing the feeding of all war prisoners in Germany, a new order of the war ministry has been communicated to me which adds some new elements for the nutrition of prisoners and thereby makes it considerably more abundant."
