No Better Appointment Could be
Made to Make Impression

dorsed to President Wilson as n
tannine mlnhlc uppointmc nt on
llie I'uileil Stales Industrial
Commission which President Wil
sou will in a few days scud to
Itussin to represent the govern
mi lit, and the Argus is free to
admit (hat Mr. (iitlvaui would
be representative of our interests
in n way that would relied credit
upon tlie country, nml bis np
poiiihiii nt would be a part of
wisdom. He is it srliolar, a tin
guist, and is one of the ablest
students of economics in (lie
Northwest, He is an orator of
no mean ability ns well, and his
Washington County friends ns
well us his Portland friends wish
him success. He is being placed
forward by his friends, and Sen
ators Chamberlain and McN'ary
have been nsked to endorse him
for the position.
Mr. (ialvaui gave out the fol
lowing statement lo the press
lunching upon his endorsement:
"If I should go to Russia in
that capacity, I would do so first
as a citizen of the L'nilcd States
mid second ns a native of great
Russia; ns one who first of all is
loyal to the interests of his adop
ted country and second as n firm
believer in the cause of the allied
powers with whose fortunes the
fate of Russia the laud of my
birth -is bound by ties that
should be tirmly held together
and nt any cost.
"Though of pacificist convic
tions, I am not, and never have
been, it niln-resistaiit. Although
I detest war us the greatest
crime against the human family,
my hrnrt und soul have been
with the allied powers ever since
the war lord hurled defiance
against the rights of smaller na
tionalities in order to promote
his wild dreams of world eon
quest. Nothing in the worh.
could contribute lo my happiness
so much as the privilege to un
dertake or risk anything in pro
moting the cause of the allied
powers, the sanctity of treaties,
the respect of international law.
and the extension of liberty and
eipialily among those .smaller fln
Uonalilie.s who have been crimi
nally deprived of it bv any civil,
military or religious despotism."
FRED PROSSER KILLED
Fred F.. Prosser, for years a well
known Seholls boy, was killed in
action on the American front
near Tours, July 10. He was op
erating a machine gun with the
Marines when killed. He enlist
ed about a venr ago, when war
first broke, and was one of the
first volunteers to enlist at Fres
no. Young Prosser was a son of
W. K. Prosser and w ife, and was
bom in Ilillsboro, April 21s 1!W!I,

sister of Mr. Prosser.
His parents now reside at Sea
side, having moved there from
Seholls some time ago. Young
Prosser spent his boyhood al
Hillshoro and Seholls, and he
was a universal favorite. He
reached the American front a
few weeks ago, after reaching
France in l'ebruary. He went to
Fresno about a year and a half
ago, and when a state of war was
declared hastened to enlist with
the American troops, preferring
the Marines because of the pos
Nihility of ciirlv action.

was formerly Miss Haunt I .an

and Grant Painless, and young
Prosser was u grandson of W, A.

MASCOT MASKED
With the American Army at the
Marne, July 17 Jimmy, the V.
S. Marines' Mexican ant-eater
mascot, has been through the re
cent Marine drive on the Marne,
and is back in the Marine billet,
unscathed.
When the "Devil Dogs" began
the march toward the German
lines, Jimmy fell right' in line.
All the coaxing, threatening and
pleading that the pick of the reg
iment could do was of no avail.
Jimmy's comrades were going in
to trouble well, then, so was
Jinimv.
While the hand to hand con
flict was raging between the Ma
rines and the Huns, Jimmy was
here, there, everywhere, scuYry
imr back and forth, bis eyes
pleading to be allowed to aid.
After the. battle, the Marines,
realizing that they would never
be able to keep Jimmy out of any
more engagements, immediately
fashioned a miniature gas mask
and shrapnel helmet with which
the mascot will be armed the
next time he goes forth into the
fray.
