NUMBER 21
ItlcAdoo Addressed Ashland
in Interests of Victory Loan
Saloons May Close
During Train Time
Elect Missionary
Society Officers
Terms of Peace Treaty Are
Agreed Upon by Big Four
Hon. William G. McAdoo, former;
secretary of the treasury and ex
rallroad administrator, was the guest
of honor of Ashland last Sunday eve
ning when he paid this city a brief
visit while on his way from San Fran
cisco to Portland and Seattle. An
announcement was made during the
day that Mr. McAdoo would speak
at the station at 6 o'clock during the
twenty minutes' stop all trains make
here, but an hour before No. 18 ar
rlvied on which the former secretary
of the treasury was a passenger, tho
word was telegraphed here that tho
train would be held for about an
hour In order to allow the noted
traveller an opportunity to address
the Ashland residents.
Mr. McAdoo was taken to the park
in the automobile of 0. Winter, local
chairman of the Victory Loan cam
paign, who Introduced the speaker to
a large audience who had gathered
.there. Mr. McAdoo's address was In
the Interests of the Victory Loan
and for twenty minutes he held his
audience spell-bound with an eloq
uent and Inspiring address.
' He pointed out the necessity of
completely conquering the Germans
by paying for the financial cost of
the war. The soldiers had bravely
and valiantly gone forth and done
their part so successfully, and It Is
now up to those who remained at
home to complete the battle and pay
the cost of the great victory by con
tributing as liberally to this fifth or
Victory . loan as they had In the pre
vious loans.
Mr. McAdoo announced that it was
a great privilege instead of a sacri
fice to subscribe to the Victory loan.
This Is a duty, he said, that American
people owe to the 60,000 boys of the
United States army who were killed
during tli war, and the 200.000 or
more maimed soldiers whom thin
government promised, when they
went forth to flfeitt Its batties, lo
back to a finish. '
In his appeal for the Teague of
Nations plan Mr. McAdoo declared
that this plan was a question of hu
manity and not ona of partisan poll
tics and that politics should enter
Into It In no way. "The good of hu
manity should always le alove pol
itics," he asserted, "and let us all
bury all partisanship in conslderlnc:
this question. There has not been a
more propitious time In the history
of Christianity and with Indications
for success for the organization of
the world for peace Instead of for
war as heretofore. Let us face this
question of world humanity and
world peace as patriotic Americans."
After the address an Informal re
ception was held, during which the
ex-secretary of the treasury graslous-
ly responded to the greetings of
many of the city's residents.
Discharged Men '
Must Wear Stripe
1 Hundreds of dischargsd officers of
the army and numbers of enlisted
men are unconsciously laying them
selves open to fine and imprison
ment by wearing uniforms after dis
charge without the red chevron on
the left sleeve, according to orders
from the war department.
This order stated that the chevron
must be worn on tho uniform by of
ficers and men after discharge. Few
officers have been meeting this re
quirement, it Is said, because the or
iginal order allowing men to wear
uniforms after discharge was not
construed to apply to officers where
in It required the wearing of the red
-m- chevTon.
4 In connection with the announce-
ment of the order all former service
o men are urged to take care of their
. uniforms. '

S. railroad administration requesting
that if this condition is not greatly
modified or entirely eliminated, an
ordinance tys passed closing all sa
loons during the time the trains are
In the yards at the various stations
along the line in Siskiyou county.
This state of affairs is declared by
trainmen to be worse on south
bound trains, and that discharged
soldiers are the chief offenders.
Coming from the "dry" north, sol
diers who are freed from long re
straint, are frequently treated by fel
low passengers at the first oppor
tunity presented, and scenes - have
been enacted on the trains that have

Victory Loan Drive Planned;
Ashland's Quota is $175,000
The executive committee for the
Victory loan campaign met this morn
ing 1b' the First National Bank and
arranged plans and formulated ways

sists of O. Winter, chairman; J. W.
McCoy, W. H. MoNalr. V. O. N.

Ferguson and F. J. Shlnn, are plan
ning to carry out the raising of the
Victory loan, under the same meth
ods so successfully followed during
the last Liberty loan, that of volun
tary subscriptions, and they hope to
sustain the record of meeting the
quota that Ashland, has always sus
tained heretofore.
At the meeting today L. F. Fer
guson was appointed chairman for
the advertising committee, and will
have for his assistants, Rev. C. A.

Sunday, the government has only
two ways of paying Its dobts either
with taxes or bonds. If the tax meth
od is employed, you pay your taxes
and get a bit of paper to show wou
have done so. If you buy bonds you
make an Investment which will be
earning interest on it. The latter
plam seems to be the most profitable
to tie Individual.

DORMAN D. EDWARDS, ,
Pastor.
According to a Paris correspon
dent to the London Sunday Observer
tho main Items of peac with Ger
many have been substantially agreed
upon by tho council of four. Tho
only problem which they have not
yet approached is that of tho Bo
hemian border, ho says This proli
lem, he points out, Is Intricate as it
mines the question as to whether it
considerable number of Germain
must be Included in. the Czecho
slovak state. He continues:
"The question of Danzig will like
ly h settled by setting up a kind of
Autonomous state -in that district
while Including it in the Polish cus
toms area." .
The correspondent understand
that President WilHon has definitely
agreed to the proposal originated 11C
Premier Lloyd George which essen
tially consists In giving France own
ership of the Saar coal mines whllu
making the district a neutral statj
under the League of Nations. Tho
questions of reparation and of dis
armament In the Rhine region, he
says, seem also to have been more or
less settled in their broad outlines.
"Whether the treaty will be ready,
by Easter Is, of course, another ques
tion." The correspondent continues.
"The Important fact is, however,
that the council of four seems to
have agreed on all fundamental
points."
As to the western bordor of Ger
many, the correspondent states lni
has it on good authority that Pre
mier Cleraeiiceaus main object lias
been, from the first day of the con
ference to pave tho-way to a settle

".Those who believed, he would try.

when the question of the western
