EUROPE UNSETTLED
Russia ' la torn by Internal
troubles and la disturbed by a weak
vacilating foreign policy. In run
ning after rainbows of sentiment
and Is distrustful or all wltb whom
she comes in eontact. Germany Is
under the iron beel of her war lords
and la becoming restless at the tyr
anny of unbridled militarism, while
the laboring class Is sullen and only
needs a leader to break forth In
flaming rebellion. Austria Is tired
of German domination, but not quite
ripe for a direct issue, although ber
laboring elements feel somewhat. as
they 'do In Germany and only need
a strong leader to break forth as
great volcano. Turkey Is subdued
and sullen against Germany, but too
weak to assert herself, while Bul
garia Is1 seldom beard of. To offset
all this the central powers are great
ly enconraged by the collapse of Rus
sia and will take every possible ad
vantage of the conditions to get their
people in a fighting mood and unit
ed for the prosecution of the war
Every possible preparation has
been made by both sides for the
western drive that only awaits suit
able weather to start the most glgan
tic conflict tba world has ever
known. If the central powers sue

other band, if the Teutons are driven
back an uprising at home may be
looked for and breaking of war trea
ties, when the kaiser will hare

only scraps of paper, and it la not
unreasonable to expect that a Ger
man bullet will reach its mark.
CHEESEMAKING AND DAIRYING
Oregon is making rapid progress
as a cheese producing state, and W.
B. iAyer, federal food administrator
of this state, has adopted the slo
gan, "Oregon cheese for Oregon peo
ple," and is conducting a campaign
to Increase consumption of cheese,
both to conserve meat and encour
age dairying. The following brief
statement by Mr. Ayer Is suggested
as advertising and show card mater
ial for grocers who are building up
a cheese department: "Chews Is
one of the most useful foods we can
buy now. it contains In condensed
form practically all the food value
of milk and is rich in protein. Am
ericans, have largely depended upon
meat for protein, and since we mnst
limit our use of meat, we are fortun
