' - - Entered at the Postof flee In Salem, Oregon, as second class matter?" i I IT HAS ALREADY DAWNED "When will it dawn tipon the enemy that con - tinuing this war is fighting for a cause already lost; , is heading' straight for national suicide; is reaping a harvest of the hatred he has sown, and rendering a grave 1 ' international boycott more and more inevitable! On the "" Western front Germany is simply dashing itself against ' an elastic wall,. which, it cannot break through. That ' wall may stretch or bend under pressure, but will not ' ' break. None of the German objectives have been ac- . 1 complished on this last drive ; Paris has not fallen ; - - the British hae not been separated from the French; . v nor driven into the sea; and, if they had been, it would V simply have added to Germany's list of hollow vie jtories. To capture Calais might delay,' but could not decide the issue. There will be but one lend; and that ; is complete 1 victory for the Allies when the American ' army reaches full power, if not before. American forces . are going across to France in increasing numbers; so :- that henceforth its real strength will be felt with in creasing intensity.", 1 The above is the opening paragraph of the weekly financial let ter of Henry Clews, the , "Wall Street authority. I It has already dawned upon the military autocracy of Germany. It has more than, dawned upon them. They see it in the full light of day, and they are playing a desperate game hoping against hope for advantages that they know are beyond probability. ; But it is also dawning on the people of Germany, and when they fully realke the suicidal policy for their nation to which their over lords are committed, there will surely be internal troubles that will help in bringing the war to a close. The last sentence in the letter above quoted is as follows: "If Germany fails in a renewal of the recent drive she will have virtu ally lost the war. . Mr. Clews no doubt means that if she fails either to renew the drive or, having renewed it,, fails of her objec tives, she will have virtually lost the war.- ; It is only ten years since' the "Wright brothers made their first short flight with a heavier-than-air machine on the beach at Kitty Hawk, N. C Today the skies over the battlefields of Europe, are filled with aeroplanes fighting each other and from great heights dropping bombs upon the enemy. And America,1 having invented the aeroplane, is soon to take the leading part in the mastery of the air over the battlefields. ! I not dowered by the German tongue. There shall be no art that Is not In spired from Potsdam. The German military orerlords hare come to lore the conception of oar 'word '"ruth lessness and are proud of the fact that the world interprets It as em bodying the German character. It Is companion for that "efficiency" which Is but German expediency is it for Prussian Interests? The shelling of Amiens and her magnificent cathedral gives no mili tary advantage. The Prussians ac complish nothing save the slaugh ter of some women.' children and non-combatants, but there is a de struction of buildings and objects of priceless value to students of French and English art and literature, and this it is that gives sest to the Ger man gunners. They would eagerly obliterate all things that are held dear and sacred to the rest of the world.

All these schools are not thrown open to all comers, sonic are open oniy to "sec ond cruise" (re-enlisted) men with good records. Our navy specializes in brain. That is an intimation of what oar navy is like today. Clean-bodied and studious, healthy and hard-working and God-fearing.' The inventions and courage of that navy have done much to sweep the U-boats from the ocean channels; and It has the re markable record of safely convoying almost a million men some 3000 miles, together with food, munitions and supplies.

The outside world was under the impres sion that the lowly bean had long since been adopted. This Is a great time to get mem bers for the Don't Worry Club. ; There never was a time when the country needed its school teachers on the job so much as it does now. They should stand by the schools with the military spirit of a soldier on duty. The boys and girls more than ever need education. UNDER THE ROSE. "Just now the splendor of California rose gardens fills the eye and specialists admit that they havo never seen such a' mass of floral effulgence before. I One lover of roses tried to take a census of the blooms on a sin- -gle climber which covers his' porch and most Of his home. He got up to 28,000 and then the whistle blew for him to go back to work. Each rose was al- "most as big as a door knob, at that. The garish magnificence of the llrich Brunner. the splendid proportions of the Paul, Neyton and the wonderful fra grance of the La France com pletely fill oar fair land for the season. Almost all of the roses known to the brilliant word painters who create our floral catalogues are found at their best in this Southland and this : is the time of their greatest excellence. Small wonder that for the' moment California looks like one vast rose garden. The flower of flowers ir running wild In the chosen season of love. Our June brides will have some' trouble in matching complexions with the rose. The above Is from the Los Angeles Times.'- -. There- are beautiful roses In Los Angeles? but there are and will be, clear into the winter days in the last weeks of tne year, sun more Beau tiful rose displays In Salem, Port land and other . Oregon cities and towns. And. In spite of this, Oregon June brides will have no trouble In match ing complexions with even the , Sa lem or Portland rose.

Prussian eportmanshlp finds its most rapturous expression in the bombing of a cathedral or a hospi tal. If the Hohenxollera princes were to stumble upon the Holy Grail they would at once put it up as a cup not to be shot for, but at. Any sacred relic, any thing of great his torical Interest or . architectural splendor. Is the chosen target vof German guns. They destroy from a trained passion for destruction Their idea of a world is a vast des ert with Germany the . only oasis There Bhall be no literature that is A TRIRUTE TO THE UNITED . STATES NAVY. Our navy doesn't figure often In the headlines. . It hasn't fought any big engagements for the odd reason that German men-o'-war are largely ornamental. It hasn't led a brilliant raid on any submarine base, like the dashing British that flung them selves Into Zeebrugge and Ostend. No. The young officers and husky seamen, the keen-eyed gunners, and muscle-ribbed "black gang" that feeds the fiery-mouthed furnaces, the young 'prentices and skylarking signal boys. 'lament that they aren't doing anything! Too bad. their lack of activity! They are only keeping the vigil of the seas, hounding U-boats from the depths of the ocean, keeping the pa trol from Newfoundland to Cap Horn. . convoying transports, and waiting for the Huns to come out and fight They dont figure In the headlines? -No. But when you read of nearly a million soldiers In France look deeper Into that report and see that our navy tucked them under its protecting arm and safely carried them across. Read of food, muni tions, money and men crossing the water; but do not forget that Yan kee bluejackets convoyed them. Re member that when Germany talked of America "amounting to nothing in this war she neglected to inquire into the strength, gallantry and the readiness of the American navy. ( If England and France had needed to detach ships to guard our boys and supplies, German raiders would have had a fine time dashing In and out of the blockade, thereby weakened; but instead of our needing naval help, we gave It When Admiral Sims first reached the English Isles with his fleet, the British admiralty politely Inquired how soon he .would be ready to fight "Now!" ald Sims; and the polite British', admir alty nearly tainted, for It had ex pected explanations and delays, ex cuses, repairs and putterings; and out of sheer gratitude and joy it took the American navy to its traditional breast and has never ceased saying generous things of our ' ships and men who have stood the 'tests and done the work becoming seamen. The whole of Europe was very much surptised at our ships and men. Our allies are too polite to tel us what they did expect; but with engaging frankness they have ac knowledged that they did not ex pect the dash and discipline and per petual readlneess to fight They did not expect a mechanical perfection in many respects superior to their own. They did not realise that an A em r lean battleship is typically American, a veritable "Industrial center able to do almost anything in the way of making equipment or repairs without limping Into harbor, Gone, gone forever from our navy are the picturesque old ruffians of mighty oaths who swung boarding nets and cutlasses.

In the days when ships were wood; and as the portals of heaven are not closed to gallant men, we may "be sure that St Peter never slammed the pearly gate In their faces. Between the Civil war and that of 1914 the last of "old" navy disappeared and new a younger, a wholly different generation swarmed over the gun J 1 . a arc kb. jnese youngsters are as fearless, as daring as the men that sailed, with Farragut to Mobileba7, as the sons of Hatard that went with Dewey to what all the prophets of Hong Kong said was certain damna tion.
