THEIR SACRIFICES

.RITT5H sacrifice in trying to beat
the Hun back is inspiring. The
lengths to which the British
people are going are - exampled
ln a few words from an address by
Chancellor A. Sonar 'Law. , He. said;
Lives must be . lived- mora simply ;
personal household expenses must be

A PORTLAND FOR PORTLAND
T
HOUGH war conditions have di-J
verted to Paget Sound ship ton
nage which would . ordinarily
come to the Columbia river and
Portland, this city is not materially
lees an importer of foreign manu4
factures and raw materials than in
normal times. This is one of the
early conclusions of the Chamber of
Commerce committee which is Inves
tigating the delays' suffered by im
ports consigned in bond to Portland
when received at Seattle.
The disparity between the ; state
ment and this district's waning cus
toms receipts is explained by the
committee in saying that only too
large a majority of Portland mer
chants clear their imparts through
Seattle, giving that district the credit
which should belong to Portland and
Oregon. In other words, Portland,
through merchants who are probably
more thoughtless than disloyal to the
city, is helping to build up a rival
port when imports consigned to Port
land and Oregon could be. consigned
in bond for local clearance, tlma

only wait for an opportunity; to leap
at one another's throats it will re
quire a huge standing, army distrib
uted throughout the world.
Doubtless a' time will come. when
he old hatreds between the nations
will be forgotten and it will be as
natural for them to be friends as
it is now for them to fight But
that wOI take years, or perhaps
centuries. In the meantime, how
shall the evil old fighting habit be
broken? ;
The United States has shown the
way. We welded a mob of jarring
colonies - into an inseparable uniou
by applying to them the principle
Uof federation. Every unit was left
sovereign and independent in its local
concerns. The nation towered over
ail in common concerns and in for
eign relations. The magic' o( it was
as simple as it was potent.
The principle of federation is the
only bond of union -which has ever
yet formed a peaceful and happy
nation out of discordant elements. It
is a principle which has "worked"
and worked well.
But in current discussions about
the league to enforce peace we hear
little of the federal principle. It is
rarely mentioned. The promoters of
the league have many bright and
beautiful theories of their own in-

Somewhere In France I saw a con
tingent of the class of '1$ recently
marching by in review. The cavalrymen
In their sea blue blouses passet ; then the
Zouaves in their dust brown uniforms
and red f ezzes ; then the colonials, with
black faces, white teeth, steel helmets
and mist-blue overcoats. Then came
other organizations ot veteran troops.
and, last, the young boys 17. IS and
19 years old. They sre the boys that
would normally be called to the colors
in 1919. The sound of thousands of
men' marching is a sound one can
never forget The Impact of thousands
of hob-nailed shoes on the gravel In
unison gi'es one an Idea of Immense
power. The boys were singing; a march
ing song that had a wonderful swing to
It. Hundreds of wounded soldiers stood
about watching the new recruits. The
gleam of the sunlight on the bayonets
was matched by the gleam In their eyes.
a e
I have talked to hundreds of French
Boldlers ; for many of them know some
English. I have been surprised at their
attitude of forbearance. They have no
hatred In their hearts for the German
soldiers. They give wounded German
soldiers wine and cigarettes and treat
the German prisoners with kindness.
There is an inherent courtesy and con
sideration In the French which even war
is unable to suppress. Even the wooden
shoed peasants do the kindly and grace
ful thing. The more one sees of the
French poilu the more one respects and
admires him.
Robert Herrlck speaks of the potlu
as soldiers not on parade, "but common.
plain men, careless- of appearance, with
the endurance, the courage, the daunt
less bravery, and the hearts of heroes.
They are giving their lives for France,
the soil upon which they have been born
and which they love with a transcendent
filial passion." A French officer. In
sneaking of his men. said : "The exter
nal appearance, the uniform, of the
soldier has its Importance, but far above
it we put his moral worth. We excuse
the torn uniform if the heart Is right.

Barbusse gives a 'splendid description
of the French soldier ready to go over
the too to what he knows is almost
certain death. He says: "They are not
reckless of their lives, like bandit, nor
blind with wrath, like savages. Despite
all efforts to excite them they are hot
excited. They are superior to every
sort of transport. They hsve come to
gether In fall consciousness, as In full
force and full health, to play the role !
imposed upon them. In their silence. In
their Immobility, In tne masks of super
human color on their faces, reflection
and .fear and longing are visible. They
are not at all the sort of heroes they
are supposed to be, but their sacrifice
is nobler than those who have not seen
them will ever be able to divine."
They have the will to endure the
spirit which prompts the wounded to be
cheerful and hurry hack to the fighting
line. Death has' ceased to be terrible.
It is looked upon aa the expected. Men
are not greatly concerned about dying,
but only about how they die.
Tou Ian see, literally, thousands of
women tn their early twenties dressed
In heavy mourning. Europe is a land of
tragedy and grief. Yet one sees no
signs of grief. .The women seem brave
and cheerful, and It ia only whenou
catch them off guard that you see rears
on their cheeks or a look of sadness
In their eyes. Here they sre giving
their sons, husbands or sweethearts,
and doing it without complaint. Are
all those on our side of the world doing
all they can? Are they entering whole
heartedly Into the sacrifice of warT Are
they all, rich and poor alike, buying
War Barings Stamps and Liberty
bonds? Do some love their money more
than the lives of their sons?

Some Temperature
.Speaking at a dinner. Senator Porter
J. McCumber of North Dakota referred
to the heat of some domestic srguments.
and flttlnarly related this anecdote, says
the Philadelphia Telegraph:
Recently a woman wished to visit
her mother, but since the maternal one
lived at a great distsnce. she wss de
terred by the price of the railroad ticket.
Finally, however, she decided that she
would hsve to go.
"James," said she to her husband one
night, "I haven't seen mother for quite
a year, and I think I ought to visit her."
"I would like to see you go. dear."
replied hubby with the usual sigh, "but
I am afraid It can't be done. 1 have to
meet a note for J100 next week and I
can't spare at cent."
"Very well. James." returned wlfey
with an ominous expression. "If you
think the men who holds your note can
make It any hotter for you than I can,
ha-e your own way about It."
