He says 3ve are turning out the airplanes according to schedule and they -are going to be in Europe in 'excellent time." Further rinore they are going to win the Twar because they will insure -air supremacy for the '.allies Zand that means victory. T Mr. Blythe is a very experi enced investigator and writer 2whose conclusions are worth .taking note of. No one can iead his description of the situ ation wiithout being impressed iy his optimism. The real war 3ias not been started and it 3vont be on until the American airplanes get into action. When Ihey do get busy in the num bers contemplated the German Uiilitarists are going to learn that the "Deutschland Uber files' theory committed sui side when it drove America in to the war. Instead of offer ing peace as he is doing at present the kaiser will pray fpr peace at the hands of a vic torious foe that will overmaster him as surely as the sun shines In the sky. FOR THE FUTURE BISARMAMENT by the smaller unit of govern ment has always come about through the formation of governments covering a larger field. The old feudal barons and their clansmen put aside their arms when in each country in Europe a centralized government was established under a monarch. In America the colonies maintained separ ate military establishments un til after the revolution when with the formation of the re public the defense work was left more and more to the cen tral government. In the west each individual, before the day of sheriffs and policemen, car ried his own rifle or pistol with him for defense. ,It is logical to expect disar mament in the future to come as it has come in the past. The nations will disarm when there is an international federation that will enforce peace and make large national armies and navies unnecessary. Shall this federation or alliance be one in which the United States is a powerful factor and in which its rights and principles are riven due recognition or shall it be dominancy by Germany based not on democracy but upon military ruthlessness? The outcome of the war will tell the tale. We fight to in sure freedom and justice fori those who will constitute the' America of the future. j NEWSPAPER SUBSCRIPTION BATES (I.N ADVANCE) Dalle, one jear, by mall Kane, til montba by mall OallT. three montba bj mall ..13.00 2.50 . 1.-5 . .5" T.&o . 8.7o . 1 .PS 0.i l.r . .75 . .50 "allj. one month, by mall Daily, one Tear bT carrier I'ally. alx months, by carrier......

So it is with President Ken. The man who has won for nimself such an enviable piace in the hearts of the people of this state thrv-igii his un tiring efforts and earnest endeavors In the interest of our educational and agricultural developments Surely he cannot have so precipitously fallen from grace as some would lead us to Relieve. A man is entitled to-be judg ed by his work. President Kerr ha? publicly and privately, in the press- j and out of It, said that he was urgea to conpidT the presidency of Kan sas College, and his statement is cor rcbated by the board of regents aftei a thorough investigation. I submit that those who will not accept this as true are not open to conviction. An attack on the co.iege itself, however, brines up a different ques tion. Its only defense as an institution of learning and as an influence in bettering the agricultural fondifions of The statu and in this time of war to do its part in increasing tho food supply, is Its friends; and when an attack is made on the institution, sufw as that made In the Grange resolu tion, it not. only behooves every friend r I l l BOMB IN AEROPLANE READY FOR USE I ?'

The res olution states the college tra ining is unethical and urges farmers to re r'lain from sending thpir boys and girls to tlie institution. I.e( the results procured by the eoi lege speak for themselves. There are now five hundred thirty youm men training at the Oregon Agricul tural College serving their nation in tho army and navy. At leat four hundred of these youinr men are serving ns commissioned and non commissioned officers. The rank or ninety-five others is unr-renn and it is probable that most of them, on ac count of their previous military train ing, are serving as officers. There 1 in this list one lieutenant colonel, eight captains, thirty first lieutenants seventy-five second lieutenants, and twenty-two now in the officers' train in i-amva. iiua mus mat him uiepon fvgricuiiurai college ha pre- : pared this large number of young ; men for the army at a time when j training of this kind In or tho great- , tst alue to the nation.
