THE OREGON ; DAILY JOURNAL, PORTLAND, - FiU DAY, MARCH 21, 1919, 1) GE IAN INDUSTRY IS BEING REVVED People of Country Again Are Till ing Ground and Great Mantle of Green Covers Terrain. By Junior B. Wootf IEjcIuMt I thlm bjr UniTenal Bcrrle nd IM London iMilj Express) (Copyritbt, tl. 1J CbJcw IUy News Co.) Berlin. March 12. (Delayed.) Re gardless of the fact that a certain pro portion of Germany's metropolis would rather f ijht and kill than work, the people of the country are Industrious. Today I rode 10 hours through an al most unbroken country of freshly plowed fields. Garden patches were being spad ed by women and children and the fer tile pastures were turning green for the first time In the spring. While the slums of Germany's cities run red with blool other portions of the country are betas clothed In a mantel of verdure. Getting an abundant crop this year seems to be at the moment the uppermost thought, in the minds of the sober citizens, whether they are national leaders of humble farmers. CalUratloa Is Iateatlre t Every effort Is being turned In that direction. Through many miles of coun try I saw hardly a spot which was not being prepared for cultivation. Anotner striking characteristic compared with WanM ta ttiA larfirA number of. men one sees working In the fields, though women and children are much more con spicuous than In similar scenes in Amer ica. -While Germany at a superficial elance seems to be well supplied with men. It Is equally apparent that she lacks livestock, such as horses, cattle, sheep and pigs. It will not be possible to .supply, the source -of food in. a single season. Only one flock of sheep was seen, and that consisted of not more than SO. The only cattle seen were oxen used In pulling carts and plows and not a single dairy cow was via lble. . Everywhere the few Americans com Insr Into Germany are greeted with the same plea. -You must Bend us tfioA or our babies will starve." Tfcjs pica comes from the prosperous business man, conductors on trains, waiters in the hotels and' clerks in the shops . , ladastry Is Moving Spirit Coming through on the railroad from Coblenz, tne neaaquarrers 01 me -Amer ican Third army, by way of Cologne, where I boarded the through Spa train with the comfortable sleepers direct to Berlin, It was difficult to believe that this was a country which had endured war for four years. Industry seemed to be moving with uninterrupted routine, though occasionally along the tracks are seen rusty cannon, barracks and differ ent war industries. This unusal trip was arranged through the expedition headquarters, enabling me to take the first trip any -correspondent had made over official routes. The eame courtesy was shown to two officers and myself in American uniforms which was shown to the German officers on the same train. "You are Americans and we don't dislike the Americans," said the man. "It was a mistake for Germany to have any submarines. They lost us the war by bringing in America." I. W. W. Prisoners ., Throw jAwayc Food Topetuu' Kan., March 21. The 12 I. W, W. in the Shawnee county jail here, on trial last week in Wichita and which was postponed until September, are on a hunger strike, jail officials declared today WlTen'food was brought to them, Sheriff Larimer said, they threw the food through the bars of the cells and destroyed the tin dishes. They threaten to complain to Washington, saying the food is not fit to eat. They told the Jailer they were on a strike for 30 hours. Postmasters for State Unconfirmed Washington, March 21. (WASHING TON BUREAU OF THE JOURNAU)- The following nominations of Oregon postmasters remained unconfirmed at the adjournment of congress: .Diana Snyder .at Aurora, John P. .Cooley at crownavuiB, margarei c-iaric at uan yon City, Albert I Cauley at Fort Stevens, Nellie - Elliott at John Day. Charles A. White at Lakevlew, Richard F. Evans at Stanfleld, Mary J. Dunn at Sumpter, and Charles R. Tyler at Yamhill. " Mobs in Petrograd Attack Eed Leader Washington, March 21. (I. N. S.) The social revolutionists are becoming very acuve in xaoscow ana f etrograa, and in the latter city the Bolshevik com missioner was mobbed when he at tempted to address the people, according to advices reaching the state department from Finland Thursday afternoon. . Road Vote Almost Unanimous Klmberly, Idaho. March 21. (U. P.V The vote in Klmberly for good roads bonds was 472 for the bonds to seven against. It is thought that some o the even were cast against by mistake, as It seemed almost unanimous for good roads in this community. FOR STUBBORN COUGHS AND COLDS Dr. King's New Discovery has a fifty year record behind it It built Its reputation on its produc tion of positive results, on its sureness In relieving the throat irritation of colds, coughs, grippe and bronchial -attacks.

March 21 (U. P.) Prohib ition, war worries and the. income tax are- held responsible by most persons here for the alarming increase in in sanity. Statistics compiled by the state lunacy commission show a five rwr rpnt Increase for the number of insane per son j m tne last two years Spiritualism Called Chicanery and Folly Boston, March 21. (J. N. a) Spirit ualism and all forms of mediumistic ap proach to the dead t were denounced as "utter folly, chicanery, trickery and siiw ful deceits," by Cardinal O'Connell In a sermon of consolidation addressed to friends and relatives of the heroes of Chateau-Thierry Thursday at the Cathe dral of the' Holy Cross. INTERURBAf I OFFICIALS JUSTIFY PASSES FOR. FAMILY OF WORKERS Complaint of Abuse of Free Transportation Privileges De clared Groundless. Patrons of the Oregon Electric and other interurban lines running out of Portland have been complaining recently of the number of passes In use by em ployes of these roads and members of their families. The belief that passes are given as.special favors or that their distribution's not in strict compliance wrni tne laws, of the state and rules of the United States-railroad administra tion Is erroneous, according to officials of the lines. - :. ; i - j Section 286 of the constitutional and statutory provisions of the state of Ore gon relating 'id permissible free . trans portation on railroads, provides that the roads may give free - transportation or reduced rates to officials and' employes and to their families. , The same privi lege Is extended to the. families of de ceased railroad employes and to per sons who have been disabled while in the service of a road and members of their families. Amended section X of the Interstate commerce law makes almost Identical provisions for the free trans portation of employes and their families. According to officials of the Oregon Klectrlc line free transportation to em ployes and their families is practically a port 16 n of their pay, in the sense that it is given to offset expense and incon venience resulting from shifting em ployes from one location to another on the lines. Children of railroad employes wishing to continue school work at a distance from the present residence of their parents are given free transporta tion In many instances, say railway of ficials. GEN. MAURICE SAYS ' LEAGUE OF NATIONS ONE HOPE FOR PEACE British Staff Member Says His Nation Fought to Make War Impossible. New Tork, March 21. "The one thing that Great Britain fought for was- to make war impossible; X think there is some hope of achieving that ideal through the League of Nations and no hope of achieving it in any other way." Major General Sir Frederick B. Maurice, director of military operations for the Imperial general staff of Great Britain from ltlf to 1811. so declared himself upon arriving from Halifax Wednesday. 1 ;J;v "In every country of Europe there is division of opinion on the league," he continued. "It . is wrona to say that Great Britain Is unanimous for It, but I am quite convinced that the great ma jority la enthusiastically for it. It has been suggested over here .that the hold ing back of that enthusiasm is a Machl avellan policy historically attributed to great Britain in that England is trying to seise the world and get ,the United States to share our. possessions In the world. I am sure that nothing of the kind Is Influencing opinion- m England "If there had been a League of Na tions in 1914 I think that a war would have been improbable. It is humanly impossible to devise a scheme to forbid war, but war can be made as difficult as possible. Once you have Germany reduced in armament to a definite mini mum everyone else will reduce accord ingly. I have great hope that if Ger many and Prance get an interval of years in which there is no conscription and reduced armament, they may lose the habit of conscription. They will realise that more can be obtained through voluntary service without' Im posing a drain on the country. . The! feeling In England Is almost unanimous in being opposed to- conscrip tion, in fact conscription in England at the present time is a political impossi bility' , :j. . a ' i - -: ; General Maurice was asked his opin ion of wlfy the German army cracked. "It was the yellow streak." he de clared. -"The Germans do not have the staying qualities of the French or the Anglo-Saxon." Frozen Smelt to Be Fed to Baby Salmon R. K. Clanton, master fish warden of Oregon has obtained 18,000 pounds of frosen smelt to be used in feeding the young salmon at the Bonneville hatch ery. The smelt had been held in storage for the city market. Because the new run will be starting soon, this surplus was not needed and the state game com mission found the fish could be obtained at a low figure: , .,. ; There are about 15.000 young fish at the state hatcheries now and it Is not figured that even this large supply will last long In the feeding of. so many hungry mouths.' ' - ' Small rubber covered wheels have been , Invented to be clamped to the rockers of a rocking chair to convert it Into a rolling chair. Doing His Duty : "For two years . I suffered agonizing pains In my stomach, belching up sour and bitter fluids and gas, - Tongue al ways coated. Doctors were unable to help me. The first dose of Mayr's Won derful Remedy made me feel 100 per cent better, and I am now feeling bet ter than at any time In my life. I deem It my duty to advise other sufferers." It Is a simple, harmless preparation that removes the catarrhal mucus from the intestinal tract and allays the Inflam mation . which causes practically all stomach, liver and Intestinal ailments.
