If generals of all age?, from Senna . eherlh to Napoleon, caa watch us from their present habitation, they will take on an Increase of cynicism They were probably cynical enough I'efere they died. They learned tho futility of trying !r create something I'V a policy of de struction, and must feel some disap pointment at this epoch. We have learned nothing from their mistakes. We build ca,liednls, and shoot nem to hits with cannon. We ra!s. pnd educate a generation to make he latomhs of It Most of us have at liast the excuse that we are fighting to destroy some thing that hoped for aggrandizement out of conquest.

And yet, for us la progressive America, the procss Is not one of "vEste. Our young men will return frcm Fraoce with a developed effi ciency heretofore undreamed of. I'ave you ever read figures giving details of the system of piping that carries water to the battle front? A the front changes the system change and the new formations can never be foreseen. Here are problems which our young enginers learn to solve with a speed and precision r.ever de veloped In time of peace because they were unnecessary. Do you know that armored tanks charge Into battle with telephone Vires laiJ out to konn tfcpm In A!icti ! with the main command? Field bat teries also maneuver without failing n get ar.ers to "Hello.

Many peaceful trades are danger iui3. The half-built sky-scraper, the railroad, the machine shop dally make work for the surgeon; but In null a century surgery would never have made the strides that It has made in four years of war. Even the telephone wire Is now used to locate n:i Internal wound, and this Is only one of thousands of expedients lately devised for relieving human pain. War Is wasteful; but for that very reason It teaches conservation and In entlveness. We shall reallzo this Mien 5000 young American magi cians return from Europe.

Wiscon iln, a young lady whose name h vithheld went through the course like a ripsaw through a plank. She Mixed concrete In most of the stand ard forms, and Investigated grades cf wheat for stripe ergot and smut: she studied surveying and platted a 2 40 tcre farm; she made elalorate milk tests, wrote theses on stock-breeding, Inhaled the science of crop-routine, and, for some inartistic reason, made a specialty of pigs. That the ladv was raised on a farm Is not consid ered by the faculty as contributing in a great measure to the profundity nf her erudition. There are plenty mor? like her In these things In time of peace; so did ulsconsln- anK - not learn how ' ire more outside Wisconsin.

TO UK MADE WITH GERMANY Amorlca, unless we repudiate civil ization and abandon humanity and put a premium on savagery and bru tality, can mako no covenanted peace, uo peace by agreement or negotiation with Germany. It would be a cove rant with hell, a partnership with in famy. :or would such a. peace secure peace, except o long as It suited Germany. V.'o can Judge the future only by tho past, and to Germany sa- ired treaties are scraps of paper only. Germany's whole history Is a record of national treachery, national bad frith, national dishonor, national murder and natlonnl Infamy. Article 5G of Tho Hague conven lion, to which Germany solemnly sub- tcrlbcd. Is: "Family honor find rights, the lives or persons and prl vato property, as well as religious convictions and practice, must be re rpected. Private property cannot be confiscated." The world knows how Germany has observed this article. There arc minions or Individual witnesses to her flagrant breaches of It. Every acre of foreign soil Germany has oc cupied bears mute, but unimpeacha ble evidence of It. There Is plenty of German evidence of It, too. "The goods of different sort3 seiz ed In the enemies' territories are In such larse quantities Unit the diffi ti.lty of knowing where lo put them nn-: r.ises uay ny (lay. At the re- ruest of the Prussian minister of nil chambers of commerce have been asked to cive all pcssiblo Informa tion with regard to storehouses, t beds, f tr , w hich could be used tem porarily to warehouse the spoil." From the Frankfurter Zeltung, Jan uary, 191S.) Tha German papers have been riowded with advertisements of sale of property taken fronf France and L-elglum. Members of the rclchst.v,' have boasted of, others have cen sured, the amount of booty brought tr- Germany from the occupied terri tory, and the destruction lias been far greater tlm the confiscation. Of the old nieu and children mur- t!ired, of the women and tlrls rav ished, of the non-combatants taken from their hemes and deported tc rrk for Tielr conquerors, of the merchant ships sunk and passengers and crewc murdered, of the hospital ships sunk, the hospitals and unfo: t! fled cities bombed, of the mutilation r.nd murder by crucifixion and oth erwise of wounded and captured sc't- cMers of all this beastllnefs there If plenty of evidence, evidence that no one can disbelieve. The best answer to German peac; rropaganda Is sinking more I'-boats tending more men to France, speed ing up our w ork alo'ng every line, and heavy subscription to the Fourth liberty Loan. Teacs must mean the triumph of right and Justice, the de- teat of Germanism, not a truce w !th It, not a compromise with It. Our soldiers in France are glori ously doing their part toward victory the Liberty Loan subscription must rhow them that the people at home are doing theirs. jjBt begun to haul ore to Waters Creek for shipment when the rains temporarily halted the operations. We Jiavo let the contract of hauling the ore to Mr. Cablnses, who Is also hauling chrome from the Illinois river district for the California fhromo company. We hope to be r. lla to ship at lenst two thousand tons of chrome yet this fall." Mr. Gazzam will remain In the city for a few weeks, whllo Mr. Sea l rave is superintending affairs at the mines. The Keaton-Costcllo group Is only 30 miles from Crescent City and 60 miles from Vaters Creek, but on nc- tount of the steep grade to the coast city all ore will be hauled over tho GO-mllo road to Waters Creek. The Dnldface district, states Mr. Gazzam, 13 about 73 miles from Grants Pass. While the present prlca of chrome Is satisfactory, says Mr. Gazzam there Is no certainty of the mines operating to ajvautOEO next year un icsn tho government shows some preference to the home companies oer those who are shipping the ore into the United States from Australia and other countries. About 23 or 30 auto trucks and t number of teams are engaged in haul In? chrome and copper ore to Wa ters Creek for shipment, chrome ore predominating, while many prospec tors are still combing the mountains for new "finds." As a whole, the mining business Inoks promising for the Crnnt3 ra.3 district. Grants Tass Courier.

Mr. Gazzam has Just come In from the property and states hat they have just finished repairing 14 miles of the old Wim?r road lead ing to the one productive Cleopatra wine, and have also built seven miles of new road from the Cleopatra to tnelr mines In the Baldface district. 'The road to the old Cleopatra mine was In very bad shape," says Mr. Gazzam. "and v. e have had about men at work repairing it and building the seven miles of new road. We have a force of 25 men getting out the chrome at the mines and had Mr. Adams, of Portland, who Is on the police fores at that city.

The school opened Monday, Sep tember 16, with an enrollment of about thirty small beginners, making Mout one-third more than last year, thoegh some of the grades are much 1 elow the average, owing to the re moval of some of the families from lown.

John Lacy, who has passed his ex amination for army service, is now at home avaiting call. Miss Ettle Lacy, Miss Olsen, Mr Freels and John and Floyd Lacy at tended the show, "Uncle Tcm's Cab in," given In Ashland Sunday night. Mrs. William Cbilders and little sen Buford left Tuesday for Oakland, Cel., on a short visit. The United States government, In view of the loss of the Callfornlt prune cop as a result of rain, has or dered that the entire Oreyon crop be held by the packers. J. O. licit, a government representative, made this announcement before leaving fo. loitland, where he will cor.f.r with representatives of canning an 1 pack In C pljnt3. The government previously had fiii .iruiced that It would take all drie! prunes graded as ji's, COs, 70s an;! C-O2. The recent order ni?ans thai the 30s and 4.s shall be held subject ti government orders. Mr. Holt said damage to the Cali fornia crop was due to the fact that no dryers are used in that slate, the f.MiIt being cured by the sun. The greatest problem confrontlns tl.e Oregon packers and canners as a terult of the government order Is lack ot storage space. Under normal con ditions, when prunes are shipped out to wholesalers, facilities for handling fthera are adequate, but with the crop pll'ng up in the canneries and pack In? plants a serious problem is presented.

It is impossible to produce bet ter proof of merit than the testimony of residents of Ashland, of people who can be seen at any time. Read the following case of it: J. R. Maxedon, 977 B st., Ashland, says: "I couldn't say too much lu praise of Doan's Kidney Pills for I have never found anything that does me so much good. When I need a kidney medicine I always use Doan's Kidney Pills. When I have a back ache or my kidneys are not acting right it requires only a box of Doan's to fix me up in fine shape."
