At least 1,000,000 Germans have been killed ta the battle tone. These are not being 'replaced by the new genera tion. The birth' rate has sunk so low that by next year, it is estimat ed, the number of births will be "1,338,000 fewer than if there had teen no war. Meanwhile mature and aged civilians have been dying ff much more rapidly, owing to hardships Imposed by war condi tions. The annual number of deaths anions the civilian nnnulallnn due to these causes has Increased by 1,900,000 over the normal, V Altogether It Is figured that by next June the German empire, which should normally have had 72,000, 00 people, will be reduced to no snore than 64,500,000, or 7,500,000 less than If the war bad not occur red.

It should not be forgotten that Germany's chief losses have been her strongest, ablest manhood. Even If she ends the war without a crush ing military and political disaster. she will nave made her national la bors and world-prospects Incalcul ably harder, because of all the mil lions she has thrown away. It Is possible that, having started the: war it the most virile nation of Europe, she will end It a decadent nation, with waning energy and blasted prospects. If she does. It will be exactly what she deserves. KEEPING THE" ROAD OPEN "The supreme duty of the navy Is to keep the road to France open." With thla statement Secretary Daniels voiced the grim determina tion of the United States, and pro ceeded to put it Into execution.

The French forces operating on the east bank of the Olse river south of N'oyon have evacuated the Carle pont wood and the Germans are closely pressing them southward, ac cording to the German official com- munication Wednesday. The Corn- 'munlratlon also asserts that the ter ritory on the opposite side of the river, near where the Mat enters the stream, has been cleared of the allied troops. Nowhere else along the battle front running from Montdldler to the region around Xoyon, is any claim made to further advances by the Germans.'

Irreparable damage will be done to Oregon crops unless rsln comes soon, according to the summary of weather and crop conditions Issued here by Edward L. Wells of the weather bureau for the week ending June 11. With moderate to high tempera tures during the past week some crops have made good growth, but drought continues over nearly every portion of the state and most crops are suffering from lack of moisture, and unless rain comes soon the dam age will be Irreparable, says the re port. Hot dessicatlng winds have also sggravated conditions and caus ed much Injury to grains and grasses. The hot weather, however. seems to have caused lome relief from aphis in localities where fears had been entertained that the In fested crops were damaged beyond recovery, but this Insect pest Is still detrimental in the Willlamette val ley. Fall grains, which were well root ed, appear to be in better condition than the spring sown, but all. need good rains to Insure even normal crops, says the summary. Barley Is ripening In a few places with only a fair crop Indicated. Rye la general ly poor and this staple as well as oats and spring wheat are suffering for moisture. Winter wheat, al though still good, la being unfavor ably affected by the dry winds, the heads are small and complaints were received that the crop was beginning to burn In north-central counties. Haying has begun In Benton and Douglas counties under favorable conditions. The first cuttings of al falfa have been made In some dis tricts, the crop being poor and light and not up to expectations, while In Irrigated sections It Is growing well and the first crop Is nearly ready for harvest. Pastures and ranges continue poor, and Insuffld. ent feed Is causing some stork to be shipped out of the state. Cherries are maturing In Jackson and Marlon counties and the hot weather Is rapidly ripening straw berries, which latter crop Is not up to the aserage. The tree fruit out look Is fair to good in western val leys, but In other places the pros pects are not encouraging, although the frost Injury was not so great as first anticipated. The warm weather has stimulated growth of corn and potatoes and these crops are doing well, but they would be greatly benefited by co pious showers. Truck crops and gar dens also have shown marked Im provement during the last few days and where Irrigation was possible have made excellent progress. ' ' (TO MOV1K NEWS NOTES . . Matlge Kennedy .
