AMERICA FIRST, THE WATCHWORD V ERMANYS course in pro posing the ruthless sink ing of merchantmen, neu tral ships included, without -warning or conformance with the time honored rule of visit and search made it necessary lor President Wilson to break with tie German government Our nation was committed to such a course in the event of German transgression and the new submarine order, left us sio honorable alternative. The situation as it stands is most grave. The breaking of diplomatic relations generally means war. In all probability we will soon be at war with the imperial government. Hope for peace rests chiefly in the thought that the German gov ernment may possibly recede from Us announced purpose and not treat neutral shippig as threatened. The hope at this time seems farfetched, yet it may be realized. if war comes the part this nation will play is yet un known to the public. We might aid in equipping and financing the foes of Germany but take little or no part in the actual strife. On the other hand our navy might be brought into di rect use, particularly for the protection of shipping. Our rovernment rritrht call for the mobilization of a large force of volunteer troops so as to have aach a force in readiness for service in the event of need, j "We might even send troops to Europe, but such is improbable. Let the developments be what they may there is one course and one only open to people of this republic. It consists in loyal and courageous .support of the eovernment come what may. We have a -wise headed president who will keep us at peace if he can do t-m with national propriety, but ht is courageous and he will flinch from no duty even if it leads to war. Meanwhile "America First" is the proper motto for all our people, be they native of for eign born, pro-ally or pro-German. ENFORCED PEACE RESIDENT WILSON and 3, J ex-President Tatt join !n advocating the formati.! sf a leatru ' of nation to en rc peace. With rami eai-. MM tI VJV - - -- J nestness ex-President Rot s velt and William J. Bryan op pose the formation of such a league. Mr. Bryan "a such an extreme pacifist .that the use ot force, or the threat to use force, is offensive to lam, even if the purpose be to insure in ternational order. Mr Roose velt expresses the feai that iustice would suffer through the operations of a peace leapue of nations. Walter L. Fisher, wro wai secretary of the interior in the Taft cabinet, stands strongly for the movement championed bv Taft and Wilson. Is an address before the Indiana leg- islature last week Mr. Fisher arstued that a league of nations to enforce peace, instead of be- entangling alliance, f tug an lrl V a "lihornf in or 1H. ;ance. The United States, he .said, should not refrain for reasons based on outgrown tra- j:- i s uiuons irom parucipauiiR in o rrna would have for its object "no notion of aggression, .no selfish purpose, and which could call upon its members only for one thing, the use of economic pres sure, and if need be of military force, to compel a resort to ar bitration or conciliation before an actual resort to war." Enforced peace as thought ful advocates of a peace league of nations understand it is peace made preferable to war through negotiations conduct ed during a period of deferred hostilities. This period would be secured by the use of moral and economic pressure, backed by arms, of nations leagued to gether to substitute just deal ing for any sudden panic stricken hurling of hastily mo bilized armies and fleets at one another. Any one who doubts the efficiency of such pressure systematically and impartially apnlied should reflect upon the efforts, continued to this day of the nations now at war to throw upon their adversaries the blame for beginning hostil ities. Chicaero News. ECONOMY OVERWORKED HERE is said to be a pos sibility that the legisla ture will repeal the legis lation under which provision is made for the 0. A. C. extension work including the county agent work, boys' and girls' club work, lectures, extension bulletins, etc., all on the ground of economy. Such a step would be poor economy from the fact this class of work is the connection between the important scien tific work of the college and the public. It is the applica tion of the school's work to practical purposes and in the language of Samuel Blvthe the only wisdom worth while is the wisdom that brings home the bacon. Oregon is not spending too much money on state educa tion. Neither the Oregon Ag ricultural Collere nor the Uni versity have ever been adenu tely supported and the conditi on of normal school education in this stte is a serious reflec tion on the commonwealth. In the view of the East Oretronian the state should care for fts school work in proper manner: a state that cannot do this is not entitled to statehood. The English should not get too hopeful over their new "as sistant" in the war; we are not yet at war with Germany and if we fight it will be for Am erican, not English, interests. The legislature may justly go slow in voting for important measures concerning which there may be suspicion . or doubt. "Midnight resolutions" are bad business. III,,MM This is a time for sober thinking and harmonious coop eration ; there is no call for ex treme war makers and no one will want to be a shirker.

Official infor mation received concerning the sink ing of the steamer Euphrates shows that the probable first victim of the new submarine policy of the central powers was a Belnien relief ship.

The steam ship Ruphrates was under charter to the Belgian Relief Commission and would hsve taken another cargo from New Tork to Rotterdam had she re turned safely to America, It was said by representatives of the commission hire today. She carried a crew of between 25 and 80 men, none f whom was an American so far as Is known.
