rCGLXE. or. b. II Special)
Krea a i:-hour trip aero Germany
under mllltstry Kuard offer Kood
opportunity to view th great fcuro-
peaa struccle from close rantte trora
tha rlasT-aide. If you pleaee. Kren
though your observation la limited, aa
in was, by a car window ana aara-
neaa. you can form some Impression
and draw soma conclusion at least.
Necessarily such Impression and con-
cluatona ara more or lese superficial.
In the first olacc. althouKh I will
acain. for emphasis, admit th limita
tions. h German seem not to b uf
(erlnf fro.n any shortaato of food sup
plies. If th meal serred on tha Ger
man train can b taken a a criterion
of th general situation. It Wk t rlday
when ws took that Interesting trip
the lenctb of tha Oerman empire, and
la accordance with lb rul established
by the aorernment that Tuesday and
Itlday be l aside a meatless daya
no meat was serred. Otherwise th
meal differed little I tny say they
were better than those serred on tbe
state-owned railways of Ecandlnarla.
Ilak I Perred.
In plar of meat fish and an egg- cm
elrtta sufficed. The o-ca!ted ten com
mandments relatlnsT to tb conserva
tion of tbe food supply wer conspic
uously posted In the dining-car and In
all railroad stations- On of th com
mandment cautioned against orer-eat-Ing:
another stated that bread acrap
should not be thrown away, because
they made good soup: a third advised
th people to t plenty of iutr, prob
ably becaus Germany I a arrest sugar
producioa nation: a fourth set aside
Tuesday and Krlday as meatless day,
and u:t another prohibited th con
sumption of fat-stuff on certain day.
I ara firmly convinced that th
commandment cannot ba taken a an
indication of short rations: J bellere.
rather, thai thl la but on of th many
farslcbted measures that hare been
adopted by Germany In the preaent
strucrle for Kuropean supremacy ah
Is taking no chance of beln starved
out. My own belief I corroborated by
a fellow-student from Harrard. Ernest
Hudson. who preceded the' party
through Germany, and who ucrded
in getting to Ucrlln. II pasd four
a ... in tha German canltal and re
ported that there I no evidence of
short food supplies. r Mll'l "aa

Kngllsh authorities. Most of the par
eels consisted of Christina package

dlsappolrted soma little child would be
when th Cbrlstm toy didn't arrlr
on time: or possibly th despondency
that would com to some starring
Belgian family that mltht har had a
rood meal on Christmas day because of
the goodness of an American heart.
Kach bag aa Ihey tumbled recklessly

actually made my blood boll to see tbe
privacy of mall so ruthlessly disre
garded. But In war. a In lora; and
some ssy In politic nothing 1 unjusti
fied. Th Drttlsh ar tearing nothing
undone In their tupreme effort to
keep th Kaiser' ambitions confined
to the limits of th German Empire.
Personally. I believe such effort and
other which attempt to "starre the
German out" will arall nothing. They
ara self-sufficient.
(iersus, Ar Praleed.
Another Impression of that 11-hour
railroad trip between Warnerounde and
Bent helm, the two border, waa the
courtesy shown u by the German of
ficer and soldiers who acted as an' es
cort through th country. They ware
kind, obliging and considerate. W had
been warned In Copenhagen that they
would treat us like a shipment of
livestock.
We wera told that w wouM b
searched to the skin and that our bag
cage would be thoroughly Inspected.
Som even predicted that we would
bare to tak a lemon-Julc bath In or
der to .bring out any possible secret
writing. Tb soles of our shoe would
b removed. The lining of our cloth
ing would b ripped loos. Contrary
to thes forebodings, with several ex
ception, no on waa searched. I noted
that there wer several exception be
cause I happened to be an exception
myself. My personal baggage was
searched a purely cursory Inspection,
however. The special officer who
boarded tha train at Hamburg to make
tb customary examination must bare
regarded me aa a auspicious charac
ter. I didn't fear an examination be
caus I bad carefully arolded taking
anything through Germany that would
b prohibited. I rather welcomed It.
In fact Just for th norelty f th
thing.
Searvk I DealreaL
1'pon th assurance of Loul Loch
nor. axecutlr ecretary of th expedi
tion, that our trunk contained non
of th prohibited article, thl ttiml
aatiou was dispensed with, anabling
ua to arrlr at Tha Hague our deatl
natlon at least four hours earlier.
Needles to say. ereryone was sur
prised and. I bellere. actually dis
appointed, because we welcomed any
experience that would offer such In
teresting possibilities.
From Warnerounde to Hamburg- the
train wa In charge of grim Major
Bauer, a wearer of th Iron Cros and
a Teuton clear through- When we ar
rive,) by ferry at Warnerounde It was
raining Just Ilk on of our own pen
etrating Oregon mists. Instead of mak
ing tb customary examination on th
unsheltered deck Of me Doa. wnicn is
done to prerent anyone escaping un
challenged, th whol party wa per
mitted to land and the examination wa
mad In a protected place. Courtesy
number one.
Thl Major Bauer personified the Ger
man spirit that you read o much about.
Tall and angular, with an Iron Cros
dangling from th fourth button of hi
well-ntting military coat, ba suggest
e4 th typical German officer. Through
flashing teeth and with flashing eyes
he expressed hi rlew on tha war.
"Lot tba war last a long a it wants
to: we are not afraid. The United State
used to b great and free: now sho'
only great." Meaning obviously that
ba bellered our country wa under the
domination of England.
Th Major had a aon who wa killed
In th Belgian campaign: hi wifa and
two daughter wero ministering; to th
wounded sokliers on th western front
In the capacity of Red Cross nurse.
Th Major had seen much actir er
Ic. II wouldn't discus how h won
hi Iron Cross.
Kec-art Make Frlrada.
From Hamburg to Bent helm Major
Bauer waa succeeded In command of
th train by a younger officer. Lieu
tenant Petera decidedly an English
name. He spoke faultless English, hesi
tatingly, however, lis likewise wore
the Iron Croas. iterore in train
reached Bentheltn ha had mad a
friend of nearly erery member of the
party by hi courtesies and kindnesses.
At the Benthetm customs office he se
cured army field cot for several of the
women of the party who were worn out
by the bard trip and by tha strenuous
programme In Copenhagen.
In a short speech In the Benthelm
customs-house he expressed tha sin
cere hop that tha mission would suc
ceed. He made a similar statement to
the preaa representatives. Ua waa a
clean-cut fellow, probably a doctor, a
lawyer or an engineer. He didn't seem
made for th grim profession of war.
H walked with a notlcaabl limp
probably where a pier of shrapnel
or a bullet from a machine gun struck
home. Maybe an explanation of the
Injury would disclose bow he won th
coreted cros. 8uch wer the specula
tion. At alt events he was a picked
man.
Besclt I Aaeerted.
I venture to say that thl young;
Lieutenant did mora real good for hi
government that night on the train
than he did when he won that croas
h so proudly wore for ba corrected
many false Impressions that had been
harbored by representatlre Americana
concerning the Germans. I am not In
a position to say that his Is the typical
attitude of Gorman toward Americans,
but hi kindness appealed to us In
such a forcible tnannei that we wera
unconsciously compelled to give the
Germane the benefit of the doubt. Ha
wa given a regular oration when he
left ua at Benthelm. Eren venerable
Dr. Jenkln Lloyd Jones responded with
a Horh der Kaiser."
At the railway station in Hamburg
and Bremen men were conspicuous by
their fewness. We passed through both
cities lat at night and there were
three women to erery man on the plat
form moat of them dressed in black.
We w women acting- aa messengers,
drlrtng taxicabs and fanning street
car. We were told they also had
taken up the plough that had been
deserted when tha fathers, son and
brother bad gone to war. . They ar
patriotic thoae women.
At Bremen we saw a troop train
loaded with soldier bound for the
front. They wer amoklng and Jesting
and laughing. War held no terror for
them. At another station wa saw a
Red Cros train loaded with sick and
wounded returning; from th front.
Such I war. x
German efficiency was demonstrated
to u In tha way our train the flrat
special since th war started moved
across th country. There wa neither
a hitch nor a stop. Everything went
off with clock-like precision. -
Such wero a few of my Impression
of Germany from a car window at
night time under military guard.

accidents and the rate of payment to
the fund will be reduced by additional
exemptions.
The records of this commission show
that last year one of each eight work
men employed In hazardous occupations
in Oregon were injured.
This is too high a percentage. By co
operation of employers and workmen
to prevent accidents, the commission
believes that the number of injuries
can be cut in half.
That means cutting the rate in half,
by reductions and exemptions, and the

farmer would then be paying less than
1 per cent. No farmer in Oregon can
afford to carry the risk of Injuring
or killing workmen when he can thus
receive insurance with the absolute pro
tection of the state, at actual cost, and
be given also the opportunity of con
stantly reducing his rate.
In view of the above, the commis
sion has Issued a call to employers and
workmen of Oregon to co-operate in a
movement to prevent accidents, and
will conduct an active campaign of ac
cident prevention.

OULDNT it make you
mad if, after dealing
with a merchant for six
months and you had paid
your bills promptly, you
called on your neighbor
and found that she had been buying her
goods just as cheaply as you did and at
the expiration of six months HER mer
chant gave her, in appreciation of her
prompt paying patronage, a nice library
table and a rocker, while all that YOUR
merchant gave YOU was a bunch of
receipts and probably some "salve"?
You can get this same merchandise
discount, above mentioned, by patroniz
ing merchants who issue Green
Trading Stamps. A merchant who
pays his bills promptly gets his dis
count. Why not get yours?
Practically everything required in
the home can be procured without a
cent's cost by saving 2C Green
Stamps. Investigate this.
