GERMANY'S DEMAND AS TERMS OF PEACE One of the terms of peace which Cermany will insist on will be, In case of a negotiated peace, the restor ation of her African colonies, or in case of victory, the surrender to her not only of the colonies which she possessed previous to August 1914, but those of England, France and Belgium as well, writes J. B. W. Gardiner in World's Work. This, ln- ioo(i la already beine ooenly advO' cated in the Gorman press. The col- onlal troops, it is argued, have proved their great value In this war m tun w.t. First, they have been a material addition to the forces lnn"nl, any dealer selling supplies Europe, and have given an excellent account f themselves on the Euro pean battlefield. Secondly, they can be made thoroughly competent to de fend their own land against any at tacks to which future war might sub ject them. In at least one of the German pa pers commenting on the plan of mo bilizing Africa, it was openly stated without effort at concealment that the basic idea was a preparation for the next war. The question of population is also inextricably entwined about the re duction of Germany's allies, econom ically at least, to the status of Ger man vassals. Cermany has seen to It that financially she controls their destinies. This subservience to German domi nation is,- in the case of Turkey In particular, In every sense absolute. This the kaiser has carefully and skillfully contrived to bring about, since Turkey Is the most important link in the German chain of Influ ence. It is not merely Decause me longer section of the Bagdad railway runs through) the Turkish empire. The most potent element Is the Turk ish population 25,000,000 people almost half as large as that of Ger many. Place this population under German rule for twenty-five years, permit Germany to mobilize and train and control its latent resources, and we shall at the end of that period see a military force of more than 3,000, 000 men perhaps, indeed, double that number fully equipped and ready to be thrown Into a new battle of Europe. The completion of the railroads between the Taurus moun tains and the Persian frontier which roads have already been under construction for some years will make the problem of the transporta tion of these troops to any European theater one of simple solution. We may, then, sum up the situa tion as It will exist twenty years after the close of the present war some what as follows, provided the allies do not succeed in dictating all the terms of peace: Germany, her territory unscathed by the present war, will have In large measuer recovered from Its ef fects, while, with her continental en emies so bitterly; ravished by the war's sweep, the process of regenera tion will scarcely have gotten well under way. The mobilization of her man power and that of her allies will place an army of 17,000,000 men, all German-trained and German equipped, under the German com mand, to be thrown against one fourth of that force In Europe. This time the struggle will be short. There will be no miscalculation, no Marne, no Verdua Then will the real German aim not Hamburg-Bagdad, but Calals Eagdad be achieved; and out of the apparent downfall of the present war will spring the world power of which the Pan-Germanic League has been dreaming since 1870, and of which Bernhardl wrote In 1812. Gardiner concludes that America must carry on the war to a successful conclusion, namely, the defeat of Germany. He declares this nation Is In the war for self-defense, and that there can be no permanent peace un less the German military power and the German aim of conquest and do minion be destroyed. Otherwise, he says, the peace will not be a peace, but merely a truce, and all the sacrifices of life and treasure will have been in vain. EVERY HEN SOLD MEANS FOOD LOSS Portland, Ore., Feb. 25. W. B. Ayer, federal food administrator for Oregon, has Issued the following statement, to which hei directs the attention of all farmers, poultrymen, wholesale and commission men, and retail dealers who sell supplies to hotels, restaurants or other public eating places in this state: "The United States Food Admin istration states that 'every hen which is sold before the first of May repre sents a food loss to the nation of about 30 eggs. The total loss of eggs represented by the customary selling of hens between February 1 and May 1 is about 12,500,000 dozen. The value of these eggs Is about 80 per cent of what a hen Is worth, so that this prohibition against the sale of hens and pullets Is not a loss to the farmer, but an actual gain. There fore, no licensee shall, between Feb ruary 11 and April 30, 1918, pur chase, ship, sell or negotiate the sale of any live or freshly killed hens or pullets. Farmers should not kill them, and peoplei should not buy them. ' "As this prohibition applies only to licensees, it does not prevent the producer or the unlicensed dealer from selling his stock. I have, there fore, set a price of not to exceed 24 cents for live hens and pullets, and 28 cents for ireei, and the same shall not retail for more than 30 cenls. ana lne Bame cannl ue 8la L-v any licensee- and- 88 before an" to hotels, restaurants or other public eating places must be licensed. There is no restriction on the killing or the sale of roosters or cockerels, or other poultry. "Fully appreciating that the sup ply of poultry would become insuffi cient for ordinary needs, except for the stock now held In cold storage, I am compelled to recognize the price for this stock In other markets, and If poultry is to be retained here for consumption and not to be shipped out of the state, a reasonable price must be assured. I have assurances from a number of cold storage plants that they will not charge over 32 cents per pound, and such cold stor age stock cannot be retailed for over 35 cents, and any prices in excess of these will be considered unfair and unreasonable. NEW MILL AT WEED NEARS COMPLETION The new mill of the Weed Lumber Company is being built along the lat est designs of lumber mill construc tion and is rapidly nearlng comple tion. The mill will be the largest on the Pacific coast. The mill site Is about a mile from the Weed railroad station and Is on the Klamath Falls-Weed branch of the Southern Pacific. To the east of the mill Is a meadow, admirably situ ated for conversion into a mill pond. The mill site commands an Imposing view of Mt. Shasta. The mill building Is 226 by 100 feet. The apex of the root Is 84 feet. The lath mill Is 128 by 42 feet, and car strips will be manufactured in this department. The mill pond Is to cover an area of 13 acres and has a floating capacity of 8,000,000 feet of logs. The motive department consists of an engine room 54 by 50 feet, hous ing a twin Corliss engine of 1,200 horsepower. The boiler house is 86 by 50 feet in dimensions, and both structures are fireproof. The main drive belt Is six feet wide and 226 feet long. In its construc tion 650 hides were required. It is claimed to be the largest belt west of the Mississippi river. Four band saws will be In the main sawmill, although the machinery is so Installed that the mill can be oper ated as a two or a four-band mill. Long logs may be cut on the deck, but the regular lengths will be from 16 to 32 feet. The dally output, will be from 500,000 to 600,000 feet of lumber. The sorting sheds will be 40 feet long and will have a capacity of 144 cars. Cars will be dropped from the mill to the sorting shed by gravity. Weather conditions have been fa vorable during the winter and the company has kept logging crews working at full blast since last sum mer's run. Yrcka News. CARRIER ii(;i:oxs KILLED BY HUNTERS Complaints have been made to the pigeon section of the Signal Corps that carrier picgons of the racing homer type, being trained through out the United States for communica tion service with the American army, have been shot by persons on hunt ing expeditions. Because of the important part car rier and homing pigeons are playing in the war, and the need for their breeding and development in this country, the war department has con siderably expanded the pigeon sec tion of the Signal Corps. Homing pigeons constitute one of the most effective muans of communication In the army. Any pigeon In the air may be a carrier piegon flying from a loft un der government supervision. Its de struction may be a serious loss to the American army. Anyone coming Into possession of pigeons labeled "U. S. A. IS," Indicating they are being trained for army purposes, Is requested to report the fact at once to the office of the Chief Signal Of ficer', Land Division, Washington, D. C.
