The
PEACE
A1 PISTPESSINO controversy in one
of. the biggest industrlea of the
Northwest has been settiea ior
the period of the war.
Beginning today, the eight hour
day goes into effect in, all the mills
2 and logging camps of Oregon and
.m Washington. The step is the volun
tary, action or a big conrerence oi
llumber'men Just" closed in Portland.
I following the recommendation by
Secretary .Wilson that such a course
Jbe pursued.
, With a single stroke, there is thus
removed an Issue that was a con
stant source of Irritation and coh
troversy. It ib or should be a guar
antee of ; peace in a gigantic and
highly necessary Industry for ( the
remainder of the war. It should
HI raw from the workers an appre
ciative realization and a high resolve
"to render faithful and effective ser
vice, The action of the lumbermen
is highly patriotic, and it. . should
Tibw bo the purpose ofj the workers
' to meet loyalty with loyally.
'.. For the remainder of the war,
:there seems no reason why we may
' jiot look for team work in the mills
jand camps. We have reason to ex
pect that there will be a harmoni
ous land intensified drive to build
a " bridge of ships to France. No
' region on the whole earth is better
"prepared to aid in building such a
bridge and with that power in their
hands the way seems now open for
Northwest workers and lumbermen
to do not only their bit, but their
utmosj.
This eight hour day Is but a'part
of the vast scheme of evolution now
working out. It Is .the ordalnment
I of an Irresistible progress.
A world fighting for democracy Is
a world of new relations, a world in
which blighting hours that wear out
men's bodies before the appointed
time are a misfit.
The lumbermen are wise in ac
cepting the change. They , have
strengthened the republic. They have
Jmada America stronger, over yonder.
HE great part the irplane plays
over there Is powerfully told in
four simple sentences In a news
dispatch. Describing the Hun
gas attack on the Americans,' tho
dispatch says:

under a handicap, .win to, lack of
Buffldant obaerration. Thera are iio

These Matements are a telling ap
peal to . rfe spruce camps of Ore

tacks iold heavily because of the
accuracy i with which the bombs
were dropped, . and there was great
accuracy io dropping the bombs
because German airmen, flying, over
the American trenches at will, had
the American positions perfectly located-.
Remembering the horrible agopies
of the gassed Americans, what
countryman of. theirs is not steeled
with a purpose to have them
equipped to meet the Hun with air
plane for airplane and then some!
That nurnoaa ouarht to ba the re
ligion, the daily and nigftly thought,
the high resolve of every Portlander,
every Oregonian, every American.
Spruce to make the airplanes Is
here In . Washington and Oregon.
Spruce to make the airplanes and a
bridge of ships to carry the air
planes over yonder is a "thought to
tir to action every man in the for

spruce mills and shipyards, every
parent at every fireside, every man
in the street.
When the gassed Americans Were

more spruce and to build a bridge

AS TO MUZZEY
rnHERE ijL no mystery abottt tha
fault found with Muzzey's Ilis-
tory. Jt Is a twentieth century
book written by a forward look-

thousand years ago,

A citizen may know j the details

WAYS OF DEFENSE
NTENDING candidates for the leg-.
islature t in Multnomah, county
should be making up. their minds
fn advance as to whether they are
for or against tha six cent fare.
They will have to answer that
question. They, will have to say
whether or not they favor a change
in
and habits of conduct, which It ap
plies everywhere.
The one standard by which 'auto
cracy, determines right and wrong Is
its own profit.. In war It calls this
standard "military necessity." . In
industry it calls the - Bame - thing
"eeonoinlc Jaw. Just as military
necessity, excuses every atrocity In a
campaign so economic law' excuses
every abuse in industrial life.
Nothing the Matter
: With Portland,
By S3- 8. Haroourt
There may be skeptics who will-doubt
the ' statement that If every machine

the public service' law giving iected with the shipbuilding plants, were
Portland home rule relative to street
car fares.

produclnsr nuts such as those manufac

MONO the many delightful fea
tures of the German war prepa
rations carried on throughout
the world for many years be
fore the war began, not the least
interesting is the effort they made
to confrol the press. This was not
confined to any particular country,
The game was-played Jn one form or
another in the United States, France
England, Russia.
It was particularly lively in Italy,
where the control of the press was
entrusted to the firm of Haasedstein
A Vogler, who had offices both in
Berlin and Paris. When this firm
desired, to control an Italian news
paper it began operations by getting
some financial hold upon it. Then
a contract was made to manage its
advertising. v Complete capture soon
followed.
At one time Haasenstein A Vogler
had 96 Italian newspapers under
their thumbs. This circumstance
throws some light, upon the Italian
failure at the Isonzo. The morale
of the people had been systematically
undermined by the pro-German presa
skillfully manipulated by Haasenstein
A volgerr" At the critical moment this
Infection caused the troops to break
ranks and flee. It would be Interest
ing to know how many "German-
American" newspapers were financed
from Berlin by some firm similar to
Haasenstein A Vogler.
The reported Austrian refusal to
fight the Russians looks pretty In
print, in coia reality it provokes
a smile. There seems little need for
anybody to fight the Russians. When
they lay down their arms and sub
mit to the kaiser, whole regiment
at a time, the invasion and conquest
of. their country looks mora like a
picnic than a military campaign.

Somewhere ln France X am .at a
wonderful place near- the border of
Switserland. The Alps are near by.
There are beautiful lakes. It Is a dream
of a place. They want to use it as a
recreation center. They want a de
scriptive booklet written about It, cir
culars, .etc. They asked me if I had
ever written descriptive articles or
folders and booklets. I had. So I took
a train to travel all night to get here.
There was no sleeper, so I sat up all
night. From my rail destination I went
by auto to an old chateau to write up
that district, and from there by auto
to two other places to get more data.
From here I will go by tratn to a place
Beveral hundred miles distant. I can't
give Its name. I will soon settle down
to my regular job of running a Y. M.

been temporary, to.help out.

Women in the forest are picking up

apple, peach and pear trees, walnut, fil
bert and almond trees, sycamore, oak
and hemlock trees. There are old

Roman gods and goddesses. Roman
bridges are still being used, after 1800

Portland. Feb. 27. To the Editor of
The Journal This war Is being fought
with bullets but. In the end, will be
wen by ideas. It waa 'wrong conditions
that promulgated the war. and the right
ing of conditions will terminate it. Since
the war began, principally under the
leadership of President Wilson, there
has been a constant drift toward indus
trial democracy. It now remains for
the allied governments to concentrate
their highest Ideals of civil government
and present them in concrete form to
the world.
When such- plan for future : govern
ment of the people of earth has been au
thoritatively set forth by the allies the
central peoples will turn against their
war lords, and unite ior world 1 peace.

OYSTERS. The best looking oysters
are not always the best to eat. If they
are large, fat, firm and whitish they
have probably been "fattened" by float

to the person who eatp the oysters raw.
Often the water In which they are thus
floated Is contaminated with sewage.
Many impurities tn water rise to the
top, and the floating oyster-Is. there

germs.
A typhoid epidemic broke out ln Wes
ley an college, In Connecticut and the
disease germs were traced to oysters
eaten at banquets. It was found that
the dealer had kept them at the mouth
of a fresh water stream for "fattening,"
and that the stream was badly pol
luted. There was a house near by with
two typhoid patients and their dis
charges were passing directly Into tha
water through the house drain,
Belfast. Ireland, for 25 years had the
highest death rate from typhoid fever
of any city in the united Kingdom.
The water supply was found to be good

rate. Finally it was found that a lot
noor neoDle were in the habit of
gathering shellfish at low tide on the
so-called "slob lands," op which was
dumped . the city s sewage.
