Neighbors of Woodcraft was formerly
known as the-Women of Woodcraft,
but among other changes made at its
seventh grand circle session in Sep
tember last, modified Its name to in
dicate that It is a fraternity taking
in men as well as women neighbors.
The Neighbors of Woodcraft had its
beginning in March, 1897, with a very
Bmall membership. of possibly 2500 and
a deficit in its treasury. Mrs. C. C.
Van Orsdall, a newspaper woman of
Pendleton, accepted the position of
grand guardian at the hands of the
seven delegates composing the organ
ization committee, in St. Louis, that
decided to take over the work. This
committee was: Mrs. Van Orsdall of
Pendleton, Mrs. 'Annie P. Hawkins of
Toledo. Mrs. Inez Filloon of The Dalles.
Mrs, Helen Southwlck of Salem, J. L.
Wright of Leadville, Colo.; William
Doherty of Pueblo, Colo., and Mrs.
Olive Grimshaw of Denver.
For some months she carried the
headquarters of the order in a valise
with a "Blick" typewriter, and until
1906 the headquarters of the Women
of Woodcraft was in the Round-Up city
All these years Mrs. Van Orsdall has
been elected and reelected at the head
of 'the organization she founded. The
transfer of the rapidly growing organ
ization was made to Portland and the
investment of the money of the order
in its site and building at Tenth and
Taylor streets has proved to be a far-
sighted and successful business ven
ture in every way.
,
The Neighbors of Woodcraft from
the first began to set aside a large
portion of its collections to interest
bearing securities. On the average 41
per cent was thus devoted to prepara
tions for future contingencies. Its in
terest Income now amounts to $120,000
a year and its total additions to this
invested fund average over $400,000
per year. Aided by her advisers and
coworkers of the executive committee,
Mrs. Van Orsdall has made sound and
careful investments and (n the future
provision has' been made for a con
tinuation of the accumulation of a sur
plus of not less than 30 per cent of
the total matured claims from mem
bers each year. .
The Neighbors of Woodcraft num
ber 60,000 in the nine Pacific coast
states, of which 7762 are in Oregon and
2182 in Portland. There are 643 local
circles and 23 districts, with 123 local

Your kidneys are the filters of
the body. If they become Inactive and
fail to eliminate the waste matter,
they are apt to throw the whole
mechanism of the body out of order,
thus toxic poisons can accumulate In
the system and be as deadly as snake
venom. .
Besides causing the miner ailments
of rheumatism, sciatica, lumbago and
backache, neglect of the kidneys is apt
to develop Into moro serious diseases,
such as diabetes or stone in the
'bladder.
Rid the body of toxic poisons clean
the bladder and kidneys and cure the

THE REVEILLE
Hark!, I hear the tramp of thousands,
And of armed men the hum:
Lo! a nation's hosts have gathered
Round the quick alarming drum
&&yinr, "Come,
Freemen, come!
Ere your heritage be wasted," said the
quick alarming drum.
Let me of my heart take counsel:
War is not of life the sum!
Who shall stay and reap the harvest
When the autumn days shall come?
, . But the drum
Echoed "Come!
Death shall reap the braver harvest."
said jths solemn-sounding drum.
"But Vhen won the coining battle.
What of profit springs therefrom?
What if conquest, subjugation.
Even greater Ills become?"
But the drum
Answered, "Come!
You must do the sum to prove It," said
the Yankee-answering drum.
What if. 'mid cannons' thunder
Whistling shot and bursting bomb.
When my brothers fall around me.
Should my heart grow cold and
numb?5'
But the drum
Answered, "Come!
Better there in. death united, than In
life a recreant Come!"
Thus they answered hoping, fearing.
Some in faith, and doubting some.
Till a trumpet-voice proclaiming.
Said. "My chosen people, come!"
Then the drum,
- Lo, was dumb.
For the great heart of the nation,
, throbbing, answered. "Lord, .we
come!" r BretHarte.

All Figured Out
Colonel Roosevelt's survey. In
his "The Foes of Our Own House
hold" (Doran), of the nations
which will figure conspicuously in
any after-the-war settlement Is as
follows: '
The first demand made by Mr.
Roosevelt is, obviously, the restora
tion, . with proper Indemnity, of
Belgium.
France should receive baok
Alsace and Lorraine.
England and Japan should keep
the colonies they have conquered.
Austria and Turkey should be
broken up.
Poland should be made inde
pendent, with Gallcia and Posen in
cluded,, and reaching to the Baltic
The Czechs and their Moravian
and Slovak kinsmen should be
made into a Greater Bohemia.
The Jugo-Slavs should be united
In one state.
Greater Roumania should take in
Eastern or Roumanian Hungary.
. The Turks should be ousted from
Europe.
Constantinople can be made a
free commonwealth of the Straits,
or given to democratic Russia, as
events may determine. . '
Arabia should be an Independent
Moslem state.
Probably Armenia should be in
Sependent. Provision , for the full protection
of the Armenians, Christians,
Druses and Mohammedans should
be made.
Northern Schleswig should go
back to the Danes.
The victorious, allies should
themselves grant full autonomy to
Lithuania and Finland; and to Ire
land, home rule within the empire.
Love's Chronicle
Of Woman's Life
"Beyond.' By John Galsworthy. Charles
Son oner's sons, new York, fl .Hi net.
John Galsworthy's own comment on
"Beyond, his newest novel, is: "It's
not in any way a study of social con
ditions but a sort of chronicle of a
woman's life," and the reader will
probably come to the conclusion that
it is indeed an Interest-impelling and
heart-holding chronicle.
Gyp is the heroine, and the story
is the story of her career upon which
love was so far the compelling influ
ence as to lead her, after her first dis
astrous venture, to defy all conven
tions in the conviction that love not
only justified but demanded such a
course.. The final vindication of her
choice ' is only accomplished as th-c
climaJf of a series of events and situa
tions of emotional intensity.

PUBLIC
LBRARYNOTES
Marine insurance is a subject of
vital interest nowadays. There are
three separate and distinct kinds: the
ordinary marine insurance, covering
losses to vessels and . cargoes due to
the natural perils of the sea; the "war
risk" insurance, covering vessels and
cargoes traversing the war zone; and,
third, the Insurance of vessels under
construction. There is an abundance
of information on the first of these
in the various marine journals. As to
the second, it is Interesting to note
that the reduction of nearly 25 per
cent In premiums announced. October
6, by the government's war risk in
surance bureau "because of the de
crease in risks," Is unofficially re
garded as the government's expression
of its opinion that "the U-boats have
passed their zenith in their campaign
oi irigntiuiness."

"First Lessons in Spoken French
for Men in Military Service" is a most
useful little book compiled by Ernest
H. Wilkins, Algernon Coleman and
Howard R. Huse, published ' by the
University of Chicago Press, and as
a "first aid" to the "Sammies" going
overseas should be fn demand, as the
sounds are very carefully given, enab
ling the beginner both to speak and
to understand what he hears.
The words chosen for the word-lists
have been selected with reference to
the particular needs of men In the
service.
It is interesting to note that royal
ties from the book will be devoted to
the army work 6f the T. M. C. A,
.
Concerning the insurance of vessels
under construction the business-tech
nical department at the library would
be grateful . for information leading
to sources where It may be found.
Aside from Chat furnished by the dally
press and business digests (as to the
plans of the shipping board for the
insurance of all vessels under con
struction for the emergency fleet cor
poration) very little Is available on
the subject.

Capt. Dreyfus
ALFRED DREYFUS was born on
October 9, 1859, In the town of
Muelhausen, Alsace, of Jewish
parents. When the Germans annexed
Alsace-Lorraine after the Franco-Prussian
war, Dreyfus withdrew from the
conquered territory, and went to Paris.
Here the inborn hatred of tbe Teuton
invader found an outlet. He would
Join the army and help fight the Ger
mans when the proper time came.
With this object ever uppermost in
his thoughts, Alfred Dreyfus entered
a military school in Paris. He studied
hard and In a remarkably short time
became proficient in the rudiments of
military knowledge. . This, however.
was not all he was seeking. He want
ed to be a specialist in artillery, and
he continued his studies until he be
came an expert. Then he entered the
army. Promotion came rapidly, he was
made captain and assigned to tne gen
eral staff on probation.
Soon after this he married, and In
the course of time became the father
of two children and was looked upon
aa wealthy and successful.
Even in those "days the German
system of espionage was thorough.
Germany had built up a huge military
machine, which she expected to use to
conquer the world, and she had under
mined France with her best. spies.
Germany collected all the .knowledge
on French military plans that she
could, but she overstepped the mark.
Colonel Schwarzhoppen, German mil
itary attache in Paris, got careless.
One day he threw into his waste bas
ket a list of documents which revealed
the most valued military secrets of
the French general staff.
A charwoman employed by the
French intelligence department of tbe
general staff found the documentary
evidence that there was a traitor in
the war office. General Mercier, then
minister of war, assigned Colonel Du
Paty to Investigate the circumstances
and locate the culprit.
Colonel Du Paty called Captain
Dreyfus to his office and dictated a
letter to him containing the words
composing the list found by the char
woman. The letter was written by
Dreyfus, from the dictation and with
original list was submitted to M. Ber
tlllon, chief of the bureau of criminal
Identification. Bertillon swore the
original list was in the handwriting
of Captain Dreyfus and a court-martial
was ordered.
Why Dreyfus was chosen for the
test In the first place was never clear
ly understood. The court-martial was
held by a board of seven officers
picked by the general staff and behind
closed doors. From the first Dreyfus'
chances were slim. He had blundered

Documents were forged by some of
the officers which implicted Dreyfus
in the German spy system. These let
ters sealed .his fate and he was con
victed of treason in 1894 and sen
tenced to life imprisonment on Devil's
island.
He was openly disgraced before the
Paris garrison, his sword broken be
fore him and his uniform stripped of
all Insignia. He maintained bis inno
cence and went bravely off to prison.
The power of the press then came
into - play. French newspapers an.
nounced that the trial was a travesty
on justice. English and American
papers took up the case and went Into
details. Trained investigators were
employed by the Dreyfus family, and
Zola, the French novelist, openly ac
cused the general staff or railroading
Dreyfus in order to protect them
selves.
For the first time it became known
that the forged papers had been read
to the court-martial board after they
had agreed to acquit Dreyfus of the
charge. Dreyfus and his counsel had
both been ignorant of the existence
of the infamous documents, and pub
lic opinion demanded that a new trial
be held. An Investigation was ordered.
Lieutenant Colonel Henry of the gen
eral staff confessed that he had forged
the Incriminating documents and then
committed suicide in prison.
Dreyfus was brought back from
Devil's island and the supreme court
of France ordered a new trial. An
other court-martial, sitting at Rennes,
August 7, 1899, to the astonishment
of the public, again found him guilty,
and sentenced him to 10 years more in
prison.
Maltre Labor!, who acted as counsel
for Dreyfus, secured a pardon from
the president, and Dreyfus was again
a free man. Heawaa not content, how
ever, with freedom.- He wanted vin
dication, and for six years he tried to
clear himself.
Another hearing was granted by the
supreme court in 1905 and his con
viction was annulled by that body. The
French parliament restored Dreyfus to
the rank of captain and he was dec
orated with the Cross of the Chevalier
of the Legion of Honor
From the hated officer condemned
to death for treason he then became
a popular hero. He was promoted to
be a major of artillery and served In
the army for three years, when he
retired and. was attached to the staff
of the military, governor of Paris.

broke out in 1914 he requested a com

him and placed him in command of

"Suddenly his face lights up with

THE decision of King George to rid
himself and the royal family of
England of all the alien names
which belonged to his Hanover an-
I cestors has naturally met with uni
versal approval among the British peo
ple. Although his grandmother bore
the unobjectionable name of Guelph,
that line came to an end with her mar
riage to Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg-
Gotha, whose family name was Wet tin,
which is pronounced "Vetten" and has
a Prussian sound not at al agreeable
to English ears.
It seemed ridiculous even before the
war, and quite intolerable afterward,
that the royal house of England, which
traces its succession for nearly nine
hundred years, should take Its family
name from a petty German principal
ity of no great historical standing. It
is believed by many- that had King
Edward VII lived to see tbe breaking
out of the present world conflagration
he would have been even more prompt
in dropping all titles that savored of
Teutonic origin than his son baa been.
In selecting ''Windsor as the fu
ture surname of English royalty the
present kin? struck a popular note.
but if an "evil omen" is supposed to
have , any force In these enlightened
days, some other equally English
sounding appellation would have ap
peared a wiser choice.
It is not, I think, generally remem
bered that the name of Windsor was
once before used by the reigning house
of England, and, if an ancient chroni
cler is to be believed, it was conferred
not without a prognostication of
calamity.
According to the above announced
authority when, in 1421, King Henry
v was abroad In France reaping the
reward of his victories over that
country, new was brought to him that
a son had been born to Ms wife, Cath
erine, in tbe stately castle of Windsor.
The king, it is recorded, thereupon
called for writing materials and set
down the following oracular words:
"I, Henry, born at Monmouth,
Shall small time reign;
But Henry of Windsor shall long
reign
And yet lose all."
" '
He was quite right - In saying he
would but a "small time reign," for his
death occurred within nine months
after the birth of his son. That Infant,
the first and'only "Windsor" up to the
time of King George's adoption of the
title. Immediately succeeded to the
throne under the protectorship of his
uncle John, Duke of Bedford. He did
have a "long reign," as his father pre
dicted, and be certainly flost all"
first his possessions in France, except
Calais, In consequence of the successes
of Joan of Arc and Charles VII; next,
his reason (being declared Insane In
1458), and finally his life, at the hands
of murderers in the Tower of London.
It is to be hoped the new house of
Windsor, although beginning in the
midst of a world-war, will have a less
tragic experience.
King George has certainly taken a.
popular course in limiting the use of
princely titles. In future the great
grandsons of the sovereign will, with
the exception of the eldest great
grandson, be commoners, but it la as
sumed that the custom of creating the
sovereign's sons dukes will be main
tained. Great-grandsons who are commoners
will therefore have the courtesy title
of "brothers of dukes," which carries
with it, by courtesy, the prefixing of
"lord" before their Christian names.
A grandson of the sovereign, except
the eldest, may thus be known, for ex
ample, as "Lord Edward Windsor," but
his son will be simply plain "Mr.
Windsor."
