GERMANS AND GERMAN'S It baa bean hard tor a good many Amrioans to reconcile their opin- fcma of the German people as they know them aa neighbors here In marten, with the stories of wanton cruelty and outrage which cornea from the German-conquered terri torial ot Europa. We think of our German neighbor ma a Jolly, musical, family-loving dtlien. We read of him as an incar nation of destrucUra brutality. v On nust get a clear-cut under standing of the fact that there nre Germans and Germans; and this I? equally true in continental Germany Itself. The Germany which speaks officially, which la behind their na tional militarism, which outraged Belgium and has devastated north era France, la not the Bavarian or tbe Saxon Germany but it Is Prus alanlsm; a nation controlled and directed by the Insatiable ambitions and egoism of the military aristo cracy which surrounds the house of H6heniollern. The difference between Prusslan tsm, or a Prussianized Germany, and the real natural German people, as exemplified in the barbarism dis played In their conduct of this war. Is the difference between the kind, affectionate hnsband and father and tbe same man when in a drunken freniy. It Is this fact that has led the allies to determine that peace is Impossible as long as the German nation is under Its present leaders. Germans must awaken to an under standing of the guilt of those w hom they are .following. They must Tacognii tbe menace to the people of the world, present in the typical Prussian spirit. There can be no peace, in the aense of a permanent lasting peace. ....til . k n . . wtv , -I nearly 65.000.000 peacably inclined. Industrious people into a saturnalia of butchery and crime. The German of tbe farm and the merchant house, of the chemical Ubratory ud art studio, will never perish; and the allies are as anxious that that civi lization should survive and flourish as are (hose of Teutonic blood. It i the war-morshiping ambition of a small ruling caste which has under taken to spread its Influence over the entire earth, that has caused liberty -loving people to draw t,he sword in the defense ot democracy.

The foreign office is preparing to send ahlps to America to bring back Swedes who do not desire to serve in the Amcrl can military forces, according to thr newspaper Tldendo today. The Swedish government, it was declared, had already asked Wash ington tor exact Information aa to conscription ot aliens.- Dawson. Y. T., Oct. 1. The range of operations of the automobile in the vicinity of Dawson is being en larged every reason, and the volume of the traffic handled by motor ve hicles in this region is enlarging ranldly. With the remarkably suc cessful introduction of the tractor in the hauling of wood up Hunker from the Klondike river last winter. and the gradual advent of the motor truck In this district and the com mon use ot the automobile, the big share ot the traffic of the camp is now being handled by motor power. As a result of the increased op ulurltv and utility of the motor ve hicle the roads surrounding Dawson are being constructed more and more with a view of adapting them to that style of traffic. During the dry period cars travel from Dawson 25 to JO miles out with considerable ease. Granville, .0 miles out, nas been reached by cars during the dry saaaon for . several years. Quart creek. S." miles distant, also Is reached by-car, and it Is hoped to ave the road put in condition in flme to get the cars through on that route as far as Black Hills and Ku- reka creeks. Money voted this year for the con nection of the most famous of Daw son's scenic routes, that up Bonanza, Into a belt line, by repairing the upper Bonanza stretch, was not used for tha reason, it is explained, that the mining operations along that itretch would have Interfered. Some recommend the switching of the prop osed belt line to Quart creek, ihich would make a circuit via Bo nanza. Eldorado and Hunker. One of the most popular runs is ,ip the Klondike river. In rainy weather the corduroy there becomes verv sllpnery and dangerous. Big wood and power operations up that ver also make It a most Important route. A quarter of a million dol- irs worth of logs come down the ver each season. BUY LIBERTY BONDS Tombstone. Ariz.. Oct. 1.

Of the 1.120.640 acres In Jose phine county more than half are still In public ownership, 191,730 acre being within the Siskiyou national forest.
