A reason might be found why an American Citizen should, ncjt be a subscriber to a liberty loan. ' A reason might be found why an American ' citizen should not purchase thrift stamps or savings certificates. The reason In every Instance would be financial. No plea but poverty, or other justi fiable demands upon all of one's means, will suffice. .But no good reason can be found why an American citizen may not whole-heartedly and unreservedly tracK tne governments war pro gram. The reason, If it exists, is a bad reason; and it is that he Is not a true citizen. They have the right idea at Grants Pass. An itinerant propa gandist of some sort proposed to de liver a public address on the war and tbe end of the world. An Intel ligent and patristic American com munity might be quite indifferent to the opinions of all comers on the millennium, but the war Is a differ ent matter. No American commun ity can afford to be Indifferent to the opinion or action of any citizen,, rich or poor, powerful or humble, on the When the local Council of Defense asked the millennial apostle about the Red Cross, IJberty loan, thrift stamps and the war, and learned that he supported no one of them, he was refused a public hearing and told to move on. There is a certain finality about such decisions which admits of no argument and no appeal. ' We like tlfe Grants Pans way. At the cloBe of this war the In ternational court of justice urged by the American delegation at the sec ond Hague conference may be call ed Into being. This court would have the same jurisdiction over questions affecting International re lations and International law that the supreme court of the United States has over all cases In law and equity arising under the constitu tion of the United States and trea ties made under Its authority.

I enforcement, when ncccsa.try, of the finding's of this court should lie a matter of Joint International act on In accordance with a definite plan to be determined upon when t h court is established. The principle upon which this action will rest has been stated with characteristic pre cision by Mr. Asquith when he said that the rule of authority of an In ternational court "must be support ed In rase of need by the strength of all; that Is, in the last resort, by armed force." , CHANCELLOR'S TALK Washington, Feb. 2V1 Count von Hertllng' speech la the reichstag has not changed the situation. In the opinion of high officials here. In stead of marking an advance toward peace, It Is regarded rather as delib erately calculated to strengthen the hands of the German militarist par ty by endeavoring to convince the German proletariat of the Imprac tical nature of President Wilson's war alms, as disclosed In his last ad dress to congress on February 11. While stating his readlnes to ac cept the president's four fundamen tal principles for a baals of peace, the. German chancellor dismissed them as Idealistic and unworkable by Insisting that they must depend for their application upon the reali sation of conditions which rannot be met. In the official view his treat ment of the subject wss Ironical and designed for very different ends than the advancement of peace. There will be no Immediate formal comment upon this latest contribu tion to the debate on war alms and peace aspirations. San Francisco, Feb. 27.

Captain Cameron of the Beluga had his wife and little daughter on the trip with him and they are be lieved to be among the prisoners. The Encore has not been heard of since she left the Columbia river nine months sgo. The Beluga left; here In May for Sydney and the Win slow left Sydney Muy for Apia. With a cargo of 775,000 feet of Oregon fir loaded at Preicott, the schooner Encore sailed from Astoria on May 25 last for Sydney. She was granted her clearance papers on May 2S. After being out for a pre scribed time she was reported as missing nd a little later was given up for lost. When the activities of the German raider Seeadler were brought to attention the gereral Impression was that the Encore had fallen a victim to the pirate craft Her home port was San Franrlwo. Captain A. Olsen was master of the schooner when she sailed out nf the Columbia river. CHROME FOR NATION Salem, Feb. 27.

Mr. BInnchard's letter says: it u my honest conviction that there Is sufficient chrome 'adjacent to this town to meet the require ments of the United States during this war, and If transportation Is adequate we can save the United States government all ships required to transport chrome to. this country from New Caledonia. The govern ment figures that 1 75,000 tons nn nually must he Imported from that place. "We are producing this chrome here In great quantities, but there l so much red tape mixed up with the securing of cars for transporta tion from Waters Creek that It Is , mighty discouraging.
