WHY DOES KAY KICK?
Treasurer Kay is still much wor
ried over the action of the Public
Service Commission in the C. 0. I.
case. If he continues to show his im
patience and dissatisfaction it will
be pertinent to inquire why he is so
interested. Either he wants to see
the affairs of the C. 0. I. Co. and the
settlers proceeding smoothly, or he
does not. If not, we can understand
why he should wish to oust the Com
mission and have the only jurisdic
tion in the hands of the Desert Land
Board, which, by his own confession,
is helpless. If his motives are friend
ly he can best indicate the fact by
letting things stand as they are and
leaving it to one of the directly in
terested parties to test in the courts
the question involved, if they wish.
That Mr. Kay's motives are at least
open to the suspicion of being un
friendly is indicated by the nature cf
his criticism.- Accord Dg to the news
paper reports, -his objections ere upjn
wholly technical grounds. He has
nothing to say of the justice or in
justice of the Commission's order,
but confines himself to the technical
ity of jurisdiction. The treasurer's
office is not invaded, nothing is done
by the Commission to make Mr. Kay's
job less important or of less author
ity. It has gotten action where the
Desert Land Board could get none
and we imagine the other members
of the board are only too glad to have
the Commission do what it has done.
What is Kay kicking for?

same way as the lower but the leaks
were stopped by running earth into
them. A canal from the Deschu'.e
which would run water during the
winter to the reservoir would solve
the entire problem. The soil of the
Tumalo project is rich. It will pro
duce 40 to JO bushels of grain to the
acre. The exhibits I saw of grains
and grasses produced there were
highly encouraging."
Mr. Hinkle said that, without ad
vertising, settlers are coming to the
irrigated lands of the state in greater
numbers than ever before.
"All you need to attract settlers Is
to let them know the water has been
brought to the land," he declared.
Those attending the congress made
a trip to Corvallls today to attend a

GERMANS EXCUSE
ATROCIOUS ACTS
Murder, Pillage and Arson fart
ot Deliberate Scheme of
Warfare.
HIGH OFFICERS GO ON RECORD
No Possible Evasion of Responsibility
for Bestial Acts Which for Centu
ries Have Had No Parallel-
Officially Indorsed.
The people of the L'nited Slates
are beginning to learn the truth con
cerning the conduct of the tear by
Germany. Proof is offered that Ger
man officials deliberately lied in
their statements concerning atroci
ties committed by the Ilelgians and
allies. That their own soldiers were
disgusted by the cruelties practiced
at the order of high officers of the
kaiser is shown. Extracts taken
from pamphlets issued follow:
The Vorwuerts of Berlin, October 22,
1014. sulci:
"We have already boon nolo to es
tablish the falseness of a great miiulici
of assertions which have been made
with Kreat precision luid published
everywhere in the press, concerning al
leged cruelties committed, by the pnpu
Unions of the countries with which
Germany Is at wtir, upon German sol
tilers u ml -l v 1 1 1 ii us. We nre now In po
sition to silence two others of these
fantastic stories.

apo of cigars and cigarettes tilled with
powder alleged to have been given out
or sold to our soldiers with diiihollrul
Intent. He even pretended that he hud
seen with his own eyes hundreds ol
this kind of cigarettes. We leurn from
an authentic source thnt this story ol
cigars and ctgiirettes Is nothing but a
brazen invention. Stories of sol ill erf
whose eyes are alleged to have been
torn out by francs-tlreurs are circulat
ed throughout Germany. Not a single
case of this kind has been officially es
tablished. "It matters little thnt reports of thl
nature bear an appeurnnce of positive
certitude, or are even vouched for bj
eye-witnesses. The desire for notoriety,
the absence of criticism, and personnl
error play an unfortunate part In the
days In which we are living. Every
nose shot off or simply bound up
every eye removed, Is Immediate!
transformed Into a nose or eye torn
away by the francs-tlreurs. Alreudy the
Volkszeltung of Cologne hns been able,
contrary to the very cutegorlcnl asser
tions from Alx-ln-Clinpelle, to prove
that there was no soldier with his eye
torn out In the field ninbulnnce of thlf
town. It was siild. nlso, thnt people
wounded In this way were under treat
ment In the neighborhood of- Berlin
but whenever Inquiries have been iniide.
In regard to these reports, their ubso
lute falsity hns been demonstrated. At
length these reports were concent rated
at Gross Llehterfelde. A newspnpei
published at noon nnd widely circu
ited In Berlin printed n few days ng.
In liirire type the news thnt nt the
Lazaretto of Llehterfelde alone there
were 'ten German soldiers, only slight
ly wounded, whose eyes had been wick
edly torn out.' But to a request fot
Information by Comrade I.lebknerhl
the following written reply was sent
by the chief medical officer of tilt
ntiove-mentloned field hospital, dated
the eighteenth of the month :
"Sir: Ilfipplly there Is no truth
whntever In these stories.
'Yours obediently.
PROFESSOR RAUTKNIiERO,' "
German Soldiers Protested.
Thus the teachings of the German
War Book and of the Germnn apostles
of frightftilness, suspicion nnd hatred,
had now begun to bear their natural
fruit But the voice of protest was
not entirely silent. A conslderabli
number of letters by Oermnn soldiers
who were shocked by the Gorman
atrocities were sent to Amhassndoi
Gerard, because he was the representa
tive of the United States, the lending
neutral 'nation. The three letters
which follow, In translation, were re
ceived by the American iitnbassador
from Germnn soldiers.
Here Is the protest of a Germnn sol
dier, an eye-witness of the slaughter ol
Russian soldiers In the Masurlun lakes
and swamps:
"It wns frightful, henrt-rendlng, as
these mnsses of human beings were
driven to destruction. Above the ter
rible thunder of the cnnnon could be
heard tho heart-rending Pries of the
Russians: 'O Prussians I O Prussians!'
but there wns no mercy. Our cnptnln
had ordered : 'The whole lot must die ;
so rapid fire. As I hnve heard, live
men nnd one, officer on our side went
mnd from these henrt-rendlng cries.
But most of my comrades nnd the offi
cers joked as the unarmed nnd helpless
Russians shrieked for mercy while
they were being suffocated In the
swamps nnd shot down. The order
was: 'Close up nnd nt It harder I For
days afterwards those heart-rending
yells followed me nnd I dure not think
of them or I shall go mad. There Is no
God, there Is no morallty'imd no ethics
uny more. 1 here are no human beings
any more, hut only beasts. Down with
militarism.
"If you nre a trulh-lovlng man.
please receive these lines from a com
mon Prussian soldier."
- Following Is the testimony of another
German soldier on the eastern front t
"Russian Poland. December 1M, '1-1.
"In the name of Christianity I aenfl
you these words.
.'Wounded Russians are killed with
the bayonet iiccordlug to orders.
"And Russians who hnve surrender

cording to orders, In spite of their
heart-rending prayers,

front, shows the same horror of tho
system of which the writer was u wit.

"To the American Government.
Washington, l, S. A.

everywhere thnt few prisoners arc

groups. They say naively: 'We don't

Where there Is no one to enter com
plaint, there Is no Judge.' Is there
then no power In the world which cau
put an end to these murders and res
cue the victims? Where Is Chris
tliinlty? Where Is right? Might If
right.
"A SOLDIER AND A MAN WHO l.
NO BARBARIAN."
Socialists Oppose 8yttem
Many of the Germans, as has been
already Indicated, do not believe tlif
reports of the atrocities committed bj
the Belgian civilians and refuse to no
cept the system of rightfulness. The
Vorwuerts, the lending socialist paper
which has a very wide circle of read
ers. has opposed the policy of fright
fulness. All honor to Its editors whr
hnve so courageously opposed tin povv
erful military authority! Its editorial
entitled "Our Koes," published August
2.1. 11)1-1. reads as follows:
"Whnt should one say when evef
such an organ as the Deutsche. OfTI
zler-Blntt expresses Its sympathy wltl
a demand that 'the beasts' who art
taken as francs-tlreurs should not bi
killed, hut only wounded so that the)
may then he left to a fate 'which makei
any help Impossible?' Or what shoulc
we say when the Deutsehes. Ofllzlcr
Blntt states that 'a punitive destine
tlon even of whole regions' cannot 'nf
ford full recompense for the bones of I
single murdered Pomeranian grena
dlerf Tho nre the desires of blood
thirsty fanatics nnd we nre thoroughl)
ashamed of ourselves because It It
possible thnt there arc people union,
us who urge such things."
"Barbarism," Declares Vorwaerts.
On the following day. August 24
1014, the Vorwnerts returned to th
attack In an editorial "Against Bar
burlsm."
. . . "One mlcht. in the firs
place, possibly believe that such a de
mand for n bloody vengeance ngnlnst
alleged Rclglnn outrages emanate!
from n single dlsense-rncked brain
hut It appears that whole group)

German kulttir want to Indulge In or
gles of barbarism nnd to devise I
whole system for the purpose of or
ganlzlng 'a war of revenge.'
"Whnt of law nnd custom ! Such
thoughts do not stir a 'great nation.

liner Neueste Nachrlchten. the do

They demand that the captured cltj
should Immediately pay a fine of WXV
(XKi.OOO marks;. thnt all stores of the
conquered territory be requisitioned
without paying the Inhabitants a single
penny for them."
Vorwaerts In Protest.
Three yenrs later, August 28, 1017
the Vorwnerts quoted the following
passage from the Deutsche Tngeszci
tung: "We have n ring of politicians wh
hold that might makes right (Mncht
polltlker), who despise the forces ol
the Inner life and believe thnt the)
must eliminate all ethical points ol
view . . .' from foreign and social
politics. For them, Germany of the
present and of the future Is the coun
try of the Krupps and Borslgs, of the
Zeppelins and the U-boats. Any Ides
of a connection between politics and
morals Is rejected and any reference
lo the right of a moral method of con
sideration is ridiculed as delusion and
sentimentality."
The German ofllcers wore provided
with the forms to be used In terror
izing tho conquered people. The com
mon soldiers were provided with
phrase books which would enable them
to Impose their will upon the terrlllei!
people. Minister Brand Whltlock In
his report to the stnto department on
September 12, 1017. writes:
"The German soldiers were provid
ed with phrase hooks giving alternate
translation In Germnn nnd French of
such sentences us:
"'Hands up.' (It is the very first
sentence in the book.)
"'Carry out all the furniture.
" 'I urn thirsty. Bring me some beer,
gin, rum.
" 'You have to supply a barrel of
wine nnd a keg of beer.
" 'Lend mo to the wealthiest Inhabi
tants of this village. I hnve orders to
requisition several barrels of wlnn.
" 'Show us tho way to . If you
lead us astray, you will be shot.'"
