Mrs. W. R. Davis of Mll- waukie was conveyed more than three miles yesterday afternoon through a blinding enow and sleet storm to cabin at the timber line on the south slope of the mountain. Mr. and Mrs Davis had made the ascent of the peak with a party of Multnomah club hikers, starting at 4 o'clock yesterday morning from a camp at the timber line, about four miles above Government Camp. It was aboul o'clock when a severe sleet and snow storm broke, with a bitter cold wind blowing, and wile the party was ascending the steep Incline, at Crater rock one of the leaders accidentally loosened a boulder that ricocheted down the trail., barely missing several per sons, and struck Mrs. Davis. George Hansen, Dr. Seeley and Mr. Nelson of Portland. I'rofessor Allen of the Oregon agricultural college. Dr. Hart and W. R. Davis, husband of the injured woman, used a canvas for a litter to convey her to the cabin. Where the slope was gentle the canvas was drawn over the soft snow, and bad stretches were covered by carrying it j suspended. ' Dr. Seeley gave first-aid treatment, hut shortly after noon the patient had not yet recovered con sciousness. More than 4 persons were Included in the parties that camped Friday night at the tlmocrline near ztx-xag creeks. In one party were Chester A. Moores, I C. Richey of Eugene, and George W. Baker, a guide from Government camp. After they had returned to the cabin to w-hich Mrs. Davts had been brought. cries were heard and they found that a party of climbers had lost their way and were descending Into the fores; on the slopes of the mountain distant from the established trails. William E. Shimpff of Astoria was one of those who lost his way. but when the sun came out used his watch for a com pass and established that he was mov ing In the wrong direction to find Gov ernment camp, and shouted until he heard an answering voice.

In the last few. days the main theme of newspapers and private con versations has been shame! Thus the lingo of the army officers is already visible again at all the fronts, in all the crevices of public opinion. The word is used to christen the articles of the peace treaty which compel recognition by Germany of the fact that the war resulted from the actions and the failures of the imperial government and which demand the sur render of those accused of crimes against the laws and usages of war. For weeks there was hardly any talK about these articles. Suddenly at the last hour they stood in the foreground of interest. If these paragrapns oi ene treaty were to be the shoal whereon the peace was to be wrecked, then it was short-sighted not to have based the much-too-soon, much-too-loud, much tnn-nften-uttered "unacceptable on these articles. Modification of them undoubtedly would have been brought about if the allied and associaieu powers had been brought to recognize clearly at .the right time that lor mo price of this concession to national feelings the core of the treaty could have been quickly secured. Huna Can Retain Pride. In conversation with individual ne gotiators it was not noticeable that emphasis was to be laid on these con ditions. Then, when the assertions or Herr Erzberger living always in and by lovely Illusions that he had been promised that these conditions would b waived, proved to be erroneous, it seemed to the government and the na- . : 1 1.1.. .. ... hntif-a U Q if ILIVIIUl lut a, J " ..ww." tn"e whole peace work was in question. Since then one hears and reads on all sides that Germany had. disgraced it self. The Austrian dramatist annexed by Germany, Grillparzer, has one of his unheroic characters exclaim: "J know only one shame on earth, and that is to do wrong." If this, as I believe, is true, then the confession of wrongdo ing can never br' shame, nor can the honor of the individual or the na tion thereby be soiled because com pelled to submit to wrong. . An Areopagus In which Plato, Soc rates. Jesus,- St, Francis of Assisi, Sa pinoz, Hui. -. Pascal, Washington and Kant would sit as a council of nine surely would not hesitate to pronounce the verdict that unjust humiliation disgraces the one who compels it and not him who suffers it. Germany un fortunately hears the voice of quite a different Areopagus. Here, from peo ple who call themselves democrats, t ost extreme praise of a man or deed is expressed .by the word "chivalrous." Army Caste Feels Insulted. Consciously or unconsciously, there fore, in a civilized age, the standards of speech of the knights and warriors is employed. Here, therefore, the pecu liar concept of an "honor" of " the privileged still has currency, which can be wounded by a breath and must therefore be more carefully guarded than a consumptive maiden. Whoever Is or was a corps student Escaped Prisoner Denies Crime Com mitted in Oregon and Insists He Slust Have Double. ' BRAWLEY, Cal.. July 5. (Special.) Clyde "Red" Rupert almost wrecked the new city jail of Brawley last night. He had been placed In an outer cell which is walled with concrete and ts usually used for minor offenders. Rupert was confined with a Mexican who had over- celebrated tae Fourth of July. When the nightwatchman made his rounds at t o'clock this morning he heard a scrap ing sound. Investigation revealed that holes had almost been pecked through the walls.- v The two prisoners, who pretended to be asltep, denied all knowledge of what had happened. The counfy sheriff was nbtified and at noon Rupert was removed to El Cehtro and 'placed in a steel cell In the county jail. A second telegram from Warden Steiner of the Onegon penitentiary to day reported that full descriptions of Rupert were sent the sheriffs of Los Angeles and San Bernardino counties at the time of his escape. Sheriff Apple still has telegraphed for them. They are expected in the morning, when it is believed Rupert's identification will be completed. Rupert showed first signs of weak ening today when he was removed to El Centre Up to that time he had no apparent interest in his fate. When the handcuffs were clamped on him he grew pale. Later he was inclined to talk and again denied his identity. When, first arrested Rupert denied any knowledge of the crime In Oregon or of any criminal by the name of Ru pert, but today hesaid he must be the man's double, for he had been picked up on a similar suspicion at Sacra mento, but had been able to convince the officers of his innocence.

Owing to the proclamation of the ' governor declaring this a legal holiday, naturalization hearings which were to have been held today have been continued for one week. It is ex pected that J. T. Ronald, superior judge of King county, will preside. Due to the fact that the wives of aliens have the same citizenship status as their husbands, wives of applicants for citl zenshipt papers will be required to be present at their hearings. The presence of all of their children old enough to understand the meaning of the pro ceedings also will be required. A new feature which is to be added to the naturalization hearings is that f having exercises of a patriotic nature follow the hearings. The Daughters of the American Revolution will partici pate in these exercises. WASHINGTON, July 5.
