BATTLE FORMATION JUST at present Europe is busy making .alliances. Russia and CJbrmiany have signed a treaty. Italy hks completed alliances with several SsViaUer nations. England and Rus sia will undoubtedly enter an alli- apce before many weeks have passed, and Japan, it is said, is pre paring to ally herself with at least Op e European nation. 4 I The 1 nations all had alliances be fore tle war. "The balance of power tas the bugaboo. The nations firmed a labyrinth of alliances and v ententes. i Had: it not been for so many alli ahces there might have been no war. iir, perhaps, the conflict would have atsumed lesser proportions, fewer : Itves-would have been lost and less SeaKh blown to smithereens.

But so far, Aineric, by ' Iter aloofness, has rendered the' plan ; ineffective. The result is a return to the old regime and a prepara tion .for the eventualities of another cjnnfiiCt. Perhaps, some' day. the United Estates will take her place in the i tin ion of nations that was to have supplanted the unions among a few natiqns. It is not likely that a few politicians can forever place the i": responsibility for the old regime and 'the old diplomacy and the possibility bf future wftf on this country.

With the new job went an Increased salary, an' automobile and his Hying expenses. ' MASKS ON THE STREET IT IS a mistake for persona to ap pear masked on the public streets. The practice aggravates a feud that is very acute In Portland. A great many people are' much em bittered over the religio-racial issue. Not in a generation in Portland has there been a time when conditions were so ripe for serious trouble. It is probable that each side ex aggerates the purposes and wishes of the other. It is human for the Satholics, Jews, foreign-born and le colored to be deeply concerned about a movement that they look upon, rightly or wrongly, as an as sault upon their rights under the American constitution. In the state, of : mind awakened by that convic tion it is quite possible that they impute to the other side a more sinister purpose than the facts war rant." ' Indeed, it seems inconceiv able that neighbors and citizens in our own community could have de signs upon their neighbors and fel low citizens such as these groups attribute to the Ku Klux Klan. The secrecy, the masks and the atmosphere of mystery surrounding the klan's movements make room for the klan's intentions to be exagger ated. On the other hand, the klan, in public statements by its officers, proclaims a policy that -approaches very closely an invasion of the constitutional rights of those whom they oppose, while at the same time calling for a better enforcement of law, which all will agree is a desir able and wholesome purpose. The other side demands to know, and not without reason, why it is necessary to be secret in such matters. In any event, the feud is here. It is bitter and full Of passion. There are rumors which The Journal Has not confirmed that in recent week's firearms have been quietly purchased in anticipation of trouble. A. procla mation by the governor shows to what length the controversy has gone, The danger in the situation is the question of what hotheads might do. There are always hotheads. There is a large percentage of men who act first ajnd think afterward. There is also that even more dangerous element, jhat more limited number, who crave! the excitement that comes from trouble and who are ready to take advantage of any occasion to satisfy that craving. These are reasons why masked persons should. not appear on the streets. The situation is too tense. The masks Invite trouble, for there are hotheads whom they infuriate. There are also a great many people who resent the idea that masks are necessary for any purpose in a well behaved and orderly city. Furthermore, if the use of masks on the streets becomes a practice what is to hinder bandits from dis guising themselves in the livery of the Ku Klux Klan. arid, with the excellent opportunity that would give them, pull off daring robberies and hold-ups? It is a good time for the poised and discreet men in all groups to take command and counsel modera tion. King Alexander of Jugo-Slovakia is to receive a shirt of gold and sil ver when he marries Princess Marie of Roumania. But if he is like much of the rest of Europe, he will ex change his shirt of gold and silver for a few messes of pork and beans. AS FORECASTED THE Great Northern's announce . ment of a probable, 31-cent ex port grain rate from Montana points is. a beginning. Other roads connecting the great grain producing region with Nort.hr west ports will doubtless follow. Since the Canadian Pacific has al ready named a 31-cent rate from Montana to British Columbia ports, it is inevitable that the Hill lines through their many feeders will bid with good chance of success for the immense tonnage of Canada's grain belt. Claims that grain from west of Missouri river points and from Canada could be brought down the Columbia valley routes were made by The Journal when it was fighting for a deeper harbor entrance at the mouth of the Columbia. When channel improvement and j investment in terminal facilities by the ports of the Columbia were urged tfie reward visioned was a broadening and lengthening of the Columbia basin trade zone. Other commodities follow grain". The cars that come grain laden to the coast must, to operate profitably, return with other freight. No ship ments are more attractive to middle western plains than Oregon fir. The Columbia harbor entrance is more than 43 feet. Portland and Astoria have Invested millions in terminal facilities for grain and. gen eral movement. Had the Original Insistence for port improvement not been heeded the ' Greatr Northern announcement would mean little to the ports of the Columbia.' i . As it is, with equal rates fror west of the Missouri and a water haul shorter than; competitors, the an nouncement lis the most Important of the transportation year.

The first? blast furnace built west of the Mississippi stood on the shores of the Take. Char coal for smelting the iron was made from fir trees in the vicinity. A part of the 1200 hydro-electric horse--power now derivable from the out flow of the lake was used then to create the air blast for the furnace. The old Ladd & Tilton bank build ing at Stark and First streets was fronted with, sheet iron made in the Oswego furnace. Much of the iron then smelted was cast into pigs and sold in San Fran cisco. It was a promising industry. But aa the years went on the fur nace was. unable to meet the compe tition of modern :. methods. The mine reached the property line of other owners and the blast furnace became a monument of bygone days. The plan to operate a new blast furnace for the smelting of iron Jn the vicinity of Portland and to em ploy charcoal as fuel Is reminder of that historic effort of half a century ago. ; It has long been known that thera is a large amount of iron near Port-? land. The original venture merely tapped it, and it has been principally tjhe lack of smelting coal that has prevented further development" In intervening years. . The iron occurs in what are known as sedimentary deposits. It is, a brown hematite, much of which as says encouragingly. The existence of the metal has not been questioned by any qualified investigator, but there has been a question whether the iron could be produced eco-j nominally. This question mufet, of course, stand between Portland an4 a material widening of her Indus trial future, until actual experience) shows profits or losses. ; j The Great Northern is to support the Columbia basin project, accord ing to announcement of of ficials. ' li can best give that support by seeing that settlers attracted to the project upon completion are: qualified for success and protected against ex ploitation. STAR MANIACS IS IT the gleam of a special of ficer's badge that makes its sometimes foolish wearer feel sky high above the law? Peter F. Keser, a youth of J2, wore the badge, of a special deputy sheriff as he speeded at what he acknowledges was a rate of 35 miles an hour along Hawthorne avenue Thusrday evening. f j A street car stopped ahead of him. Did he obey the law Which requires the automobile, to wait until the street car takes on or discharges Its passengers? . j The evidence is that, wearing his deputy's-badge and feeling himself exempt from law observance, he crowded between street car and curb with speed little if at all slackened. Thomas Evans, 65, stepped from the curb. Instantly he was struck down by the driver who wore the deputy's star. The aged man's injuries ar said to be serious. They may in clude a fractured skull. This special deputy did not know the rights of others. . He did not know his own limitations. He was as dangerous as the special officet who, at slight provocation, shot in the back the father of five children in Southern California the other day.' People who wear deputies' stars should know" that they are supposed riot to violate law but to aid in its enforcement. They are granted no special privileges. They are ex pected to prevent law-violating privi leges on the part of others. They ought to know what the law is. They ought to show for it the same rev spect required to be shown by others. Otherwise they ought to be un hitched from their stars. They ought to learn what penalties are, j It might be desirable: to broadcast that Hall-Patterson debate, and let both talk at once. j S CHEMISTS' NEW WAR rpHE trend of all human endeavor - has become cooperative. ;; In ial most every industry there have come cooperative association. Men have learned to combine their effortsi. j It is not surprisingi then, that the great chemists of America have com bined to war against disease Thje movement started three years ago, but a recent report : declares thttt combined action of the prominent chemists in the fight against death1 is not only feasible but; is "advisable: The chemist has elinjiinated mudi of the suffering of the human race already, but there, are diseases which so far science has failed to check.

Umatilla, May 5. To the Editor of The Journal A new movement, started by the churches of America, is under way, to enlist Christians: in -a large Interna tional movement for the prevention of war. It sounds good, coming as it does from the churches. ; Most of us are satisfied that war will wage and be waged until there Is some semblance of justice in the world and an assurance of a living and a chance to progress, which is not the rpresent condition with millions who are striving for a hold on lite. Tor an occu pation. The Bible is clear on tale sub ject Every child may read and under stand what the text of the Christian faith has to say on the subject of the cause of wars and injustices, and it rests- with the willingness and courage Lof Christians to do the thing that, will prevent future wars. ; In the Sunday school lesson quarterly published by David C. Cook you will find (April - 24) a lesson taken from Isaiah 5:8-10 and Amos 8:47, as -follows : "Woe unto them that join hemse to house, that lay field to field, till there is no place, that they may ;be placed alone in the midstl of the earth ! In mine ears said the Lord of i hosts. Of a truth many houses shall be desolate, even great and fairi without inhabitant, Hear ye this, O ye that swallow up. the needy, even to make the" poor of the land to fail. ( Surely I will never forget any of their 'works." The lesson continues: "This woe was pronounced against landlords who crowded out all small freeholders and left no place for them. The "prevention of land monopoly in the land .was clearly in the mind of the old Hebrew lawgiver. In Isaiah's time the wealthy and rul ing classes had already begun to grasp the earth and would have tried to bot tle up the air and sunshine it they could. The land, like the air, belongs to God, and so to humannity. It is our business to find out how ta prevent men from using that which must be used as a home for all of God's creatures, not only the land but the natural resources." - This Is the lesson jour children are be ing taught in the Sunday schools. What are the churches doing as an or ganization to prevent land monopoly; and bring about the kingdom of heaven on earth, which is prorhised us in the good book? I C. H. Mock. A VALUED ESTIMON TAL .
