This young woman is worthy of a place in the hall of fame. I, 1 HAMPTON'S 0SY1 The allies in attacking Ostend and Zeebrugge are only prepar ing the way for Uncle Sam's boys Jo complete the job of running the enemy out of his den. General Pershing's march across the English channel must have been an enspiring spectacle. , A Story of Married Life REVELATIONS OF A WIFE By Adele Garrison OREGON MAKES GOOD HE announcement that Oregon's quota of enlistments in the regular army and that it had furnished its full share of men under the conscription act, was followed quickly by the statement that Oregon had also' subscribed her full share of the Liberty bonds, even more Oregon was the first state to answer the call of the iw tion, in spite of the fact that the state was supposed to have been hit the hardest by financial depression. However, the fact that the Liberty loan has been oversubscribed does not mean that those who have failed to avail themselves of this patriotic duty have been absolved from further obligation. Every man should go the full extent of his means, and there is little doubt now but that there will be no financial slackers. This is the kind of service that will win the war, and we will have the satisfaction in knowing that we have not only done our duty, but extended the helping hand to the oppressed and suffering people of Europe. Few people realized the resources of Oregon when the call was first made for help and still fewer comprehended the extent of the patriotism that exists in the hearts of the people. Those who pre dicted failure and' discontent were happily mistaken. Oregon has made good, and Oregon will continue to do her duty. ANOTHER REPUBLIC IN SIGHT gUTOCRACY is fast fading from the map of Europe, and with the abdication of Constantine I. as king of Greece, the first step in the creation of another republic lias been taken. The Greeks, like the Russians may not yet be ready to govern themselves, but the chances are that the young ruler, secoijd son of the ex-monarch, will be removed as was the young son of the Russian emperor. 1 Although the allied governments selected Prince Alexander to succeed to tlje throne rather than the crown prince, it was not be cause of his strength that they hoped to gain control of the kingdom, but because of his weakness. His sentiments are against the central powers, in spite of the fact that his mother is a sister of the kaiser. It was she who kept Constantine from joining the allies two years ago, and but for her the situation in the Balkans might have been different. The common people have never been in sympathy with the policy of the reigning monarch, and when Premier Venizelos was forced from the cabinet they expressed their indignation in riots and uprisings. With a young man at the head of the government and this young man subservient to the wish of other powers, it is hardly probable that the present status will continue any great length of time. There may be stormy times ahead for the Hellenic kingdom, but she wilr emerge from the fire purged of autocracy to enjoy the freedom that has been promised as a result of the great world war. Another re public is in sight but peace will not reign over Europe until still ethers join the ranks and all the peoples of the earth are free. NOW FOR THE RED CROSS EGINNING next Monday every man, woman and child in Lane county will be asked to contribute to the Red Cross fund. The big drive means that a certain amount of money being neces sary to cary out the program in relieving suffering among our own soldiers on the battlefields and the dependent left at home, will be forthcoming and without a murmur among the people. Do you know what the aims of the Red Cross are? Do you know what the Red Cross does? It caress for the sick and wounded of our army and navy in time of war; it cares for the wives, fam ilies, and dependents of the soldiers and sailors who. are called to the frontj.it gives relief to sufferers from earthquake, fire, famine, disease, and other disasters; it collects and distributes money and supplies for relief purposes; it is chartered by Congress; its accounts are audited by the war department; it is authorized by the govern ment. It must be supported by youl Having done our duty in supplying men and money, we will now proceed to provide comfort and relief for the sufferinig in sub scribing liberally to the fund that must be raised within the next week. A young married man has asked the government to exempt him How Mrs. Graham Won Her Way With Dioky by Madge's Help. I have sever seen Dicky so taken aback as he was when I announced my Inten tion of going to Mrs, Underwood with the object of finding out the secret of her past friendship with him. If my mood had been less serious I should have laughed at the ludicrous pic ture he presented as he stared at me open-mouthed, mingled astonishment and rage on his face. "Jfou you", he stammered at last "You don't dare do that!" ,"I dure do anything," I retorted al though in my heart I knew that his words were true, and that never could I so humiliate myself or Dicky as to ask Mrs. Underwood for a solution of the mystery. "Have you gone clear out of your mind?" Dicky demunded excitedly, but my reply I might have made was fore stalled by the tinkle of the tiny bell in my mother-in-law's room, a bell which I had provided that she might summon some one to her bedside when she was dene in the room. We both started hurriedly for her room. On the threshold of the kitchen I paused. "Kemcmber, when your mother speaks to you about this, do not excite her.' Agree to everything she says." "Good Lord!" I heard Dicky ejaculate as I hurried on to the door of bis moth er's room. "Is mother kicking up a row about this, too?" I was afraid she might have heard his speech, but evidently she had not, for she smiled at me as I bent over the bed. . "Did you have a good nap?" I naked. "Splendid!" she returned. "I have not felt bo rcfroshed since my illness began." "I am so glad. What can I do for you?" What Dloky Promised. I had learned to use this phrnso with my mother-in-law. She disliked intensely having any suggestion made to her. Kut fortunately she always Jtnew exactly what sho wanted, and was not .it i.ll backward in asking for aid, so I was able to gratify her wants without the usual mental bewilderment which ac companies waiting upon an invalid. Shake up my pillows, get me a glass of wntcr, end send Richard to me, if you please." I performed the trifling services for which she had asked, and then hesitated. "Don't you think yoi: ought to wnit until you aro stronger before you tnlk to Richard about anything oxciting?" "Who' said I was going to talk about anything exciting?" Bho retorted, eyoing me shrewdly. Then with n return to the manner I had so disliked when she first came to us. she said sharply: "Please don't meddle with what docs not concern you. Send Richard to me at once." I felt my face flaming at her rudeness but I walked Into the living room with out lrritaUng her with any reply. "Your mother wishes to speak to you," I said quietly to Dicky, then walk ed past him to the kitchen. I did not wish to be within entvhot of tho con dition. As I entered the kitchen, I heard the door of my mother-in-law's room close, and realized that she, too was tuklnj no chances upon my over hearing anything not meant for my enrs. It seemed a long time although it was really but a few minutes before the door opened again abruptly, and I heard Dicky's voice. "All right, mother, all right. Don't worry." His tone win the same one would use toward ' a child teasing for something difficult to grant. Then his mother s voice startled me. "Richard, those words do not mean anything. Promiso me that that woman never enters this house. It is an Insult to Margaret for you to throw her into intimate companionship with Mrs. Un dtrwood." "Mother, you simply cannot under stand," Dicky began hotly, then evident ly Temembering my warning about the danger of exciting his mother, he alter ed his tone. "I'll promise whatever you wish, mother. Now go to sleep again." "Thank you, Richard." Her voice was so faint that I could hardly hear it, and I did not need Dicky's cry of "Madge!" to send my feet flying to my mother-in-law's side. Jt was as I had feared, the unwont ed exertion had affected her henrt. It was a very slight attack, however, and I was able to revive her without culling Miss Sonnot. ' A Startling Volee. Dicky, white-faced, frightened, looked on as I rubbed his mother's hands and gave her the drops she always used for her henrt attacks. I had a little malicious satisfaction in LU fright, for I knew he had disregarded my admonition and had attempted to rgue with his mother the question of his friendship for Mrs. Un derwood. " ' At the color came back into my moth er-in-law's cheek I laid her back against her pillow and spoke softly to Dicky. Sho will be all right now. I will sit by her until Miss Sonnot awakens. Go and lie down again, or rend, or do any thing you like." Dicky went out obediently, and I drew a low chair to the side of the bed and sat down. As I did, . mr mother-in-law's hand stole out from the coverlet and moved toward mine. I promptly clasped the thin fingers in my own, and held them. I knew what prompted the gesturo on her part. She was so weak that sho craved the feeling of a strong bnnd on hers. ' . It must have been two hours at least that I sat watching the sick woman. She left her hand in mine a long time then with a drowsy smile .she drew It away, turned over with her face to the wall, and fell into a restful sleep. I listened to her soft regular breathing until the sunlight faded and the room darkened. I must have dozed in my chair, for I did not hear Katie come in or go to the kitchen. The first thing that aroused me was a voico that I knew, the high pitched tonos of, Lillian Gala Underwood Springfield News Leaves for Portland.
