"Without or with offense to friends or foes I sketch your world exactly as it goes." BYRON ' To Abolish War From Within Frits Vilhelm, Prince Holm, distinguished Danish ex plorer, lecturer and war correspondent has projected a prac tical plan for abolishing war that would come nearer to ac . complishing results than any yet suggested. It would con script rulers, ministers of state, legislators and all others favoring conflict for first line trenches. It would make com pulsory the drafting of the individuals legally and morally responsible for precipitating the country into a state of war as common soldiers. There is no reason why war should not be abolished from y ithin by making those responsible share in the discomforts, danger and carnage. Does any one suppose for a minute that if the president and his cabinet and the members of con gress know they were marked for the first slaughter, they will ever vote for war? The seventh revision of this plan, just issued, contains In the preamble the assertion that war is never caused by the public at large, but through misdirected power or mis taken patriotism or personal ambition of the minority ruling class. It provides that in case the nation becomes at any time involved in armed conflict with another nation, whether for "defensive, aggressive, repressive imperialistic or other purposes , the following measures shall be in lorce witnin 10 hours of the beginning of hostilities or the formal declara tion of war: There shall be conscripted as simple soldiers or simple sailors, with rank of private, in the nation's armed forces on land (although only in the infantry shock-troops), or at sea (although only for service on board submarines), or in the air, for the earliest possible participation in actual hostilities against the enemy under fire, the following: The head of the state and all his blood relations over 16; all male civilians, and all military, naval and air officers, attached to the house hold of the head of state; the prime minister and all cabinet members suid their under secretaries and assistants; all members of parliament or congress, except those voting against war, all hlshops and church prelates or ecclesiastics who tailed to publicly oppose armed conflict; sill for the durutlon of the war. At the same time, all the female blood relations of all of (these responsible officials along with their wives and daugh-j Iters are to be drafted as simple nurses for service only at the Ifront at firing line during duration of the conflict. All pro- Jnotion in rank is denied those thus drafted, male or female, jjhough they may receive decorations if merited. Provision is made for a Secretary of Peace in the cabi nets, who will take the place of the head of state and official Ipositions vacated filled by pre-elected or pre-appointed deputy successors. The abolition of all armed forces, except a small remnant to constitute the nations' contribution towards an international police force as the security of the nations may require is suggested. Physical enforcement, should the con tingency arise is to be entrusted to armed body of voters, be lievers in peace, organized under the Secretary of Peace. There is no question but that such a law which needs no International sanction and no new treaty would oe eliective, and the example of one national in blazing an open trail through a jungle of political hypocrisy, humbuggery, stu pidity and cowardice, would be followed by others. But only pressure from the people can effect it as all officialdom would unite to oppose it We Have With Us CHKSTEat CLIFTON ALLEK Words an J Music by Murray Wade mJ Ills aa district plant chief of the Sac ramento division. Next we find him back in S. P. with the position of cost engineer. Just before com ing to Salem he waa advisory en gineer in the office of the rice president. In his present position here his territory embraces Marion and Polk counties and lines In ad joining counties. His hobby Is good service; his avocations fishing from a overstuffed chair In the back of a boat; golf (3 holes in 3 S then a blow-up) and comic opera. In June of this year he married a popular Marlon county girt and considers It the crowning achieve ment of his life. Likes Salem bet ter than any place he ever lived and fays It like be means It. A i UjKlC That British Document There can be no better commentary on the lack of humor find discernment in responsible officialdom than the use f the alleged secret document from British archives presented by William B. Shearer to the senate investigating committee and utilized successfully by him in breaking up the Geneva naval disarmament conference. Apparently not only official representatives fell for it, but captains of industry and mem bers of the press. This "document" entitled "The Reconquering of Ameri ta" was a fine piece of satire on British propaganda in Amer ica written by Dr. Wm. J. M. A. Maloncy, of New York City. The pamphlet appeared in June, 1919, and purported to be a reprint of a paper found in the street in front of an apart ment house in New York in which Sir William Wiseman, fence chief of the British secret service in America, had lived. The pretended document bore no signature, but it appeared to be a report by a British agent in America to Lloyd George, then British prime minister.. It almost passes belief that such a humorous piece of literature, which not only satirizes the British, but American Snobbery as well, could with its ridiculous and absurd sug gestions, be taken seriously by anyone, and that the depart ment of state would make it a photostat of it. One of the plans of reconqnest set forth was the teaching of Americans to drop their H's and talk Cockney which gives a fair idea Df its weighty contents. The Patriotic Fall Like many another official rascal, caught with his loot, former Secretary of the Interior, Albert E. Fall, wraps ? the flag about him as his defense and proclaims ha traded Off the nation's oil preserves for a cash consideration from Inspirations of patriotism. Such blame as attaches to the ideal he shifts on a dead man, Former Secretary Denby. ' It is an old subterfuge, for even in Sam Johnson's time, patriotism was "the last refuge of scoundrels," and we have many examples of rascality practiced under the pretense of J00 percent patriotism. Fall's belated trial, has discredited the administration of Justice, for there is not the slightest doubt that while Sec retary of the Interior, he received $100,000 from Doheny and through his son-in-law, $235,000 from Sinclair, in return for jwhich he sanctioned their exploitation of naval oil reserves, i Fall was acquitted on the charge of conspiracy. He is now on trial for bribery, in a case on which the United States Supreme Court has already written the verdict : "The con tracts and leases and all that was done under them are so interwoven that they constitute a single transaction not au thorized by law and consummated by conspiracy, corruption and fraud." Such is the patriotism of Albert K. Fall. Today should be a busy day in the Salem phone office particularly alter the Journal Is oat and the many friends of Charter Clifton Aller are reminded that this Is his birthday. He has been manager of the Salem phone office for two years and has made many staunch friends. He was born on a farm near Murray, Clark county, Iowa, and worked on his father's farm until he was nineteen when he went to Chicago. He commenced at the bottom of the electrical bus iness as stock clerk in the basement of the western Electric companies great plant there. Advanced to a responsible position in the engin eering department he was soon further advanced to the position of traveling installation superintend ent putting tn plants from Ann Arbour to San Francisco. Those were the days of the old Blake transmitter and when all the cranks in the telephone business were on the side of a little box. The little crank was turned to get central and as an escape valve for bad temper. In 1919 he went to San Francisco as facility engineer and later served a THE WIND'S ARRIVAL By Mary Graham Bonner There was a tremendous stirring up of things. The shutters on the castle began to blow. The doors even trembled. And the trees waved and bowed their heads. "He's coming! Jack Frost shout ed. "Ile a coming. He' on his way now." "Come on out-of-doors, Jack," called a voice. "We can talk better there." "Whew-woo-whew-woo-whooooo," wnistieo tne visitor, "come on out side." Jack Frost, John, Peggy, and the Little Black Clock went outside. There stood a very tall, thin gen tleman whose arms were waving, whose hair was blowing, who was whistling for all he was worth.

"I've never seen him before like this," Peggy said. But she didn't say anything more, for the wind was starting a game of races. He raced with Jack Frost, he raced with Peggy, he raced with John, he raced with the Little Black Clock. And he beat every one of them. None of them could beat him. Oh, It was such fun. It was so exciting. But still they didn't un derstand why Jack Frost said the Wind maJe him quiet Tomorrow "Jack and the Wind." RACE SUICIDE NOT FEARED IN NEBRASKA Schuyler, Neb.
