Big events are taking place there -events that are to have a "tremen dous bearing on the future of the wcld. .lo;dl George sees the sig nificance of the eftuation. , He says another shambles is threatened. ' He is appealing, for a 10 years' military . trupe. i He went so. far as to openly ,. stae bis discouragement at; the ab sence of America. .: Xnd what is behind it all What v m&icorne from the meeting? What j : does the warning from L.loyd George about, a shambles mean? ' i . -TJtudy the"pOsition of France. She see4 beyond the border of Germany a' hungry Russia and a ' banftrupt ; Rusia. . She sees a country that is corpelled to Obtain aid if the gov "ernraent Is to stand and another rev olution; is to be avoided. ; Thati government for .the present i i controls Russia. The government i doefc f not desire to lose control. Woul4 that government not enter a . war rather than, fall? If a war, can j sav Russia' and she cannot be saved ! ; froip starvation and revolution by ! negotiation, Vould she not ' readily i ent4rt into a ? war compact with re- vengeful ; Germany?: And" what .of Germany? .: She Js on her knees f inanciaDy, She is be- ing draihed of her resources, and r capttal. She hates France. 1 Would I sh i not rise if an escape from her 1 iNraiaanf .Kalf-laki wawa' vtnaofKlai 9 r JJbes not her agreement with Rus 1 $ia fcffer a way?" In spite of low t- a; i na nciat resources; aa not ine two Vns, holding two-thirds -of the ik afpulation of . Europe, constitute a :rorrniuaoie antagonist? France woUld bear the brunt of ; any 'fighting. . She would be the first (attacked. She demands her tremen ! douj army. But can she keep it ? i' Sbe has an army of 800,000 men. She (has a "population of 42,000.000. She jhas the greatest national debt of ?anyof the war nations. , Half her 'national wealth was spent in the last ,wari She. Is near, bankruptcy. ' Tj maintain; pay. arm and equip tnose suo.ove men is a tremendous ; task) Shells have to be purchased. Can Aon. have to be bought. Aero planes and alt the other costly war 1 devices . must be paid for. To pay ; for that army ,the entire earnings of ; several million French producers are : required. Probably 20 per, cent of the kS.QOO.OOO population are chil-, . dren " . Another huge total is non producing.;? How, then, is France to maintain a - tremendous army; and remain out' 6f bankruptcy, to say nothing, of' debt" payments? It is well4nigh' impossible. ' France, then,- must have financial aid, pr she has to be assured against attacik s That "has been her position eversfnee the war. .Which, is the cheapest to give fi nancial aid to, keep up that army or . to reach an agreement-. among na-r- tionsjfor the protection f all nations ; against rar?-i Andi what, is Amer ica's Interest ? ' , She could feive : the" financial aid ; to support the French army. . That i !s absurd. - V"hat then, if we refuse to talk peace, economics or Interna tional politics? with Europe, and an 4 rther war jot- which Lloyd George warned " should , take place? ; Where a ouldl ?Ameriea be? Could she re main 'isolated then? ODId -she In the list war?: r Could she have remained isolated? She'did not, could not and wouli not e Sa,ble to again.

A hotel tha cost more than $100, 000 has been builCan"tlirown. open to the; public at ' Norm t Bend. , The opening- ceremony ! was " made a gala occasion, and well it might. The .visi tor's estimate of la ity is , largely based on. its hotel" ac :ommodations. Nothing goes farther in .stamping backwardness or projgress ' upon a town. Vv It is to the credit of most interiof Oregon cities that .they have hoters'well abreast o city growth, some' of them going evten beyond the city itself. . -KlamathJ Falls, Bend. Medford; ' Roseburg, iiarshfield -and now North Bend are j la the latter group.- And there: ari others. . - . OUT OF THE PORHOUSE 6TQR the last 40 jrea the net a earnings .averaged . over, 'twice the . fixed charges,W is Ian announce ment by the Pacific" .Telephone . & Telegraph company , in A newspaper advertisemeht in whicl i M r tf f ers for sale $25,00&,600 of ii s t "refunding mortgage 5 per cent g ild bonds. , : It is gratifying to i iote ; the ' , un boun ded prosperity of the company for vthe last 10 yean s." 5 Hearings in the phone rate casen had left the Impression that it was only a hair's breadth from the phones office to the bankrupt court. Net earnings are - v hat are left after' all bills have been paid, and when the company's advertisement happily announces that) "for the last 10-years net earnings have averaged over twice the fixed charges"; you are pleased with the' (thought j that the increase in your telephone rates had a most agreeable effect upon, the company. The fixed reliarges ar in terest on the securities, khe taxes and other regular obligations, and when I the company tells you that net earn ings more than double fixed charges, your soul is lifted frojro the deep travail in which it was plunged at the phone - rate hearings and trans fdmea,fLnto a glad buoyancy before which son-row vanishes like mists under the mbrning sui. The most notable tljing about a public utility is its versatility. It sells its securities from j the gates of golden prosperity, and has its rates made at the doors of thie poorhouse. When the : reclamation service office was moved fromj Portland to Denver, Portland protested and Den ver crowed. Now Denver is repeat ing th language of Portland in op position to the removal of the pur chasing division to Chicjago and the rest of the office to Washington, D. C. ; Since there is prospect ' Of con gress adopting the 350.000,000 reclamation bill, Denver- sees In the moving day a scheme of Eastern manufacturing interests j to get the disbursing - offices as nearly under their collective thumb air possible.' WHEN A BYSTANDER IS HIT NEW YORK, has solved a great "mystery. The district attorney's office In the nation's metropolis has made Christopher Colurrjbus record as a- discoverer look like ihlld's play. The recent discovery pertains to whe is resRnsible when an' ihnocent by stander is hit by a bullei sent from a.Y policeman's gun in pprsuit . of a bandit. - ' . The New York report followed the death of a bystander frem a bullet wound received In a burglar chae. And this is the tenor of tile report: It was unfortunate that Mr: Crone got in the way of the bullet. Iflappears that If thfr fugitive , had not left tha sidewalk the moment he did be would have been shot as was the Intention of the officer. . .Yes, indeed, it was'rtoo bad'J that the bystander got in the (way of the bullet. He is dead now.i 'Ah d" it is "too bad" that he is dead. .That is one of the discoveries. i . : -Cut the.' fugitive Is the great' cul prit. He is responsible for the death of the bystander, because; he stepped out of the way of the bullet, The crook should not have done that He should have remained on the sidewalk and received the bullet like a. man,. "as the officer j intendedr There should be a law compelling burglars to remain where they-are whe,n policemen are ' shooting at them, to obviate the possibility 6f a bullet ripping into the "Hbs ' of a peaceful pedestrian. - TSiat is an other discovery of the district at torney's office. i . - r And why not pass a law forbid ding burglars to burgle? To. hoot the productions of 'suc cessful authors a "Society of Jack als" has been formed in Rome. The society's most recent success was to cause the . failure r of - French play, "The' Island of -Monkeys."

COLLEGE GIRLS (IN ACTION rTO PLAY the pianoi to sine a bit r-- and paint a llttleifwere once the high points In a girl's j education. One so finished was jjartlcularly ac complished. The neighborhood ) girl who 'had a smattering; of these things was looked up ;to by the conj munity as a local celebrity. Often, she felt her oats a .bit, airrd looked condescendingly dowr . upon other folks. - fc J. '- ' ::; I ; 1 Many a mother didn't want such a daughter to soil her hands in the kitchen. The, thought; was that the kitchen was a little j degrading for the favorite girl in the household,: There was a vlsuaJlzei reversal of this idea in the 35; young, college girls who walked into the ? great kitchen at the Multnomah hotel F-i day and cooked and i served dinner to hundreds of exacting guests. It was a difficult and highly tech nical undertaking. It la a business to which skilled experts devote their lives. Catering" Is a 'vocation with Its details, its mysteries and ; most exacting requirements, In a ; greal hotel, it Is one of the weightiest problems. j, . But what the guests found at the dinner cooked and ervei by , the college girls was a service as satis-' factory as If it had all been by pro fessional caterers. Afeove all the saw kitchen and dining room work exalted to respectability and . the thing usually called menial raised to a becoming dignity. l I Since the home Is the. bigges Of all human affairs, and siryce the ultimate sphere of most it Is girls, rhy should not there v bis perfect training for them a.t college and In" school for the duties fn thjtt hbrne ?
