cheaper to ' destroy him by means

to depend entirely 1 on the allied

the latter must continue to be the
main reliance. '
The American army in the seven
months following the recognition
of a state of war, has been brought
to a numerical strength of 1,3 6 0,-
000' enlisted men.' On April 1, five
days before war was declared,
there were only 110,000. There
are almost as many trained offi
cers now as there were enlisted
men then. It is a remarkable
showing.

A FRUIT OF.. TERRORISM
, N-PORTLAND and everywhere,
1'. there are cases in which hard
ship is worked on friendly
, aliens. Germans and Austrians
who happen not to be naturalized
1 are compelled to give up ' their
. employment and seek positions out-
'y side the prohibited sone along
l waterfronts and in the vicinity of
'-'warehouses and terminals.' "Some
Of them who have not sided against
' America inj the war regard the
t situation in which they, are placed
with disappointment, Jf not with
bitterness. ,
But what could the government
do? For the sake of the few thus
discommoded was the nation to go
on leaving waterfronts and ware-
."- bouses exposed to the depredations
: of enemy aliens of the vicious
type?'
- , ' Something had to be done Jby the
government in self defense. A
highly organized system of hired
-sabotage was working assiduously
- In this country and was leaving
v a path of ruin and destruction in
its wake.
There have been 50 fires along
the New York waterfront since
America entered the war. seven
months ago. In the same period,
$25,000,000 worth of food has been
burned by incendiaries. Ten mil
lion dollars worth was destroyed
v In the single month of October, a
- greater amount than in any whole
year before the war. As explana-
tion of the fires, we have the cable
" sent - by the German general statf
from Berlin to Ambassador von
Bernstorlf at Washington, which
said: ;
: " Tou 'can obtain particulars for car
. rying on sabotage In the United States
and Canada from the following: per-
sons, etc., etc.
That is to say, the German gov
ernment. even before the war, was
: directing and requiring its ambas
sador and his attaches and agents
to blow up plants, burn warehouses
' and otherwise carry on sabotage
-. among the American people.
- - There never was in America
' such a list of fires along water
" N fronts, explosions in Industrial
plants and other destruction of
property as since the sabotage
: cablegram was sent by . Berlin to
Count von Bernstorff. The havoc
- since America entered the war has
doubled and trebled. If the real
truth i could ever come out, it is
, not improbable that the Halifax
.- catastrophe, the most terrible dls
1 aster of its kind in modern times,
was the work, of an enemy alien.
No ; other of the several theories
'. : advanced, are as probable.
The' American; government could
1 not .let this? savage destruction of
property, 'directed from Berlin, go
. on foreveiS without taking means4!
. to check it, . Fault has been found
with - the authorities because they
extended leniency so long to alien
enemies. . The only way to combat
the destruction was to bar from
waterfronts, warehouses and grain
, . terminals those aliens who have
' -xlo cared enough for America to
. 'become naturalized. It was through
such aliens that the German gov-
- ernment worked out its malign
. purposes," and i if innocent aliens
have jbeen brought to suffer with
J the guilty, it is the guilty aliens,
not' the; American' nation and Its
people, that, those who suffer have
-to thank. '
, ' If,f as they- should tave done,
friendly aliens : had become full

' they came here to enjoy American

OUR NAVY
L
AST January there were 300
vessels in the American navy.
Today, 11 months later, there
are more than 1000.
This progress in creating a navy
is one of the astounding achieve
ments in America's preparation
for conflict, our participation in
which began but seven months ago.
On shore and afloat, the naval es
tablishment embraces more than
300,000 men. At the beginning of
the year there were 4500 officers
and 68,000 men. There are now
15,000 officers and 254,000 men.
Last January ' there were 130
stations; the number now Is 363.
nearly three times as many. The
employes in the navy yards in
creased from 35,000 to 60,000.
As late as March 24 last, when
the president's executive order au
thorized an increase of naval en
listments to 87,000 men, the total
number that could be enlisted, in
eluding apprentice seamen and
other classes, was 100,000 men.
The drive for naval recruits in the
eight months of Interim has yielded
the heavy totals revealed above.
The figures should give the
American people confidence. There
have been occasional bits of new?
regarding progress in naval prep
arations. There was supposition
that the great work of assembling
naval resources was rapidly pro
ceeding. It was known that Amer
ican young men were freely offer2
ing themselves for the naval serv
ice. "
But few supposed that within so
shprt a period such gigantic strides
could be made as are revealed in
the above totals from Secretary
Daniels' annual report.
The information is highly en
couraging. From results already
achieved in- this preparation, we
know that the naval axm will fully
perform Its great part on the sea
and that when the conflict is over
and the sword sheathed, there will
be a record In harmony with the
glorious history and traditions m of
the American navy.
The showing is a high testi
monial to the executive efficiency
of Secretary Daniels.

It would have been more natural for
htm to select as his field for future la
bors a section ln which Democratic
principles were popular. Yet he accepted
a position to teach polities to women at
Bryn Mawr, located ln Pennsylvania, a
rock-ribbed Republican state, ln which
there was no opportunity for a Demo
crat ever to come Into power. His next
move was to Connecticut, a New Eng
land state scarcely less hostile to De
mocracy. Finally he settled ln New
Jersey, which had usually gone Repub

Is always Republican. Still we are in
formed that Mr. WUson never considered
teaching as his life work. It was purely
preliminary. He bided his time, pre
pared for the emergency, mastered the
situation, and was ready for the call
when It came.

chronic diseases have as one

chronic forms of Jaundice Itching cam
much suffering. It Is thought by some
doctors to be suggestive of cancer, as
skin discoloration may occur ln this
disease. Other doctors find it a marked
symptom tn gallstone cases. Seborrhoea
of the scalp Is especially given to caus

which come from something wrong .In

or from special systeroto conditions.
Nothing done on the outside helps the

treatment ln cases of Itching from

At last the announcement comes that
the board has decided on the Beeman
lime quarry, near Gold Hill, with a long
haul to reach the districts In the Willam
ette valley, where lime Is moat needed.
This wUl mean added freight charges,
and that means added cost, Report Is
that the lime In this particular quarry is
of good quality. However, the fact -remains
that the deposits ln the valley al
most at the door of the farmer needing
it, although of much lower quality, would
certainly at the low cost It could be ob
tained serve an Immediate and larger
need at a very low figure to the consum
er. Would It not still be advisable to
adopt such a plan as Is offered at Dallas
while developing the Gold Hill proposi
tion In order that more farmers could be
served tn these war days when large
crop production Is desired T
' We note that the board has purchased
a second band tram for conveying the
lime products from the quarry to the
railroad some 4090 feet distant. This,
together with lime crusher aad expenses
of the board In locating the site for the
state operated lime plant will make the
$20,000 look like a two-spot.

have suffered much loss ln all these
years by not having cheap lima Let us
hope that they will get some relief this

Flour Is to be sold at cost at Hcio. this

Farmers will pay the miller ZO cents a
bushel flat for grinding their wheat and
the farmer gets the flour, bran and
shorts, and they estimate they will get
92.12 for their flour. 17 cents for their
bran and IS cents for the shorts, or a
total of 12.29 after the 20 cents for the
miller Is deducted. On this basts they
wiu sell the flour at eost, or at 92.12
