great tBrley iron basin and the up
per Vosges, so that, when the next
war cornea "the armies of Germany
may leap upon Paris with a bound."
It is also stated that a bill is now
pending in the -Reichstag which Is
intended to remove all land owners
from the Alsace frontier, "in order
that, in the next war, espionage may
be prevented."
Many other similar instances are
reported to have 'been made by the
Prussian military leaders, all which
is proof sufficient that the warring
spirit In the Boche is not yet any
wheres near crushed.
Let the war go on. Evidently we
are not over half way through with
the Germans. ( y ? v i
The most remarkable feature ot
the recent fighting has been the
number of enemy prisoners taken by
the allies.' The bags" of the Ger
mans in their victorious progress of
last spring and summer have already-
been greatly surpassed. There has
been nothing to compare with it
since the gigantic successes ana dis
asters of the Russian army in the
first two years of the war.
It Ib impossible to give precise fig
ures because the lists are not re
ported promptly, and the totals are
changing so rapidly from day to
day. We shall not go far wrong,
however. If we estimate that In the
two and a half months from the
launching of Marshal Foch's often
sive up to the end of September, the
British and the French have each
captured about 100,000, the Amer
icans nearly 50,000 and the Italians
5,000. In Palestine Gen. Allenby
has taken around 50,000. In Mace
donia the allies have rounded up
prdbably 20,000. In Siberia the
Czecho-Slovaks and the allied expe
ditions have taken considerable num
bers, most of whom after being dis
armed have been turned loose. Per
haps 20,000 altogether would be a
moderate guess.
These figures, it will be seen, add
up to about 350,000. That Is at the
rate of about 140,000 a month.
There is no reason to suppose that
the pace cannot be kept up. Add that
number to the 300,000 a month that
we are sending to France, remem
bering that the allies' losses by cap
ture are now almost negligible and
you have a net gain of no less than
400,000 men a month In the relative
strength of the allies and the Cen
. tral Empires.
Now Just for your own satisfaction
figure out the additional superiority
that will give ug by next summer,
and estimate the resultant chances
that Germany and Austria not to
mention their little bad brothers
will have of surviving the summer.

Salem, Ore., Ost 5. That a re
duction in freight rates on apples,
which Is needed If apple growers In
Oregon are to be saved from serious
loss, will 'be announced by the fed
eral railroad administration in the
near future-is the assurance given
by Charles A. Prouty,. director of the
division of public service ' and ac
counting in a letter to Senator Mc-
N'ary.
Senator McNary took the matter
up with the railroad administration
at the request of Public Service Com
missioner .Buchtel, who presented In
formation to show the Injustice
which a 25 per cent Increase in
freight rates will work upon apple
growers and also upon other lines ot
business. A copy of Prouty'a letter
was received by Buchtel today.
Director Prouty says similar
complaints have poured into his of
fice from all parts of the country
and attention Is being given them as
rapidly as possible. He gave assur
ances of relief.
Speaking of apple rates, he says
that the local traffic committee and
general traffic committee both have
recommended a reduction.
Much complaint has been made
against the high freight rate on
wood, with an excess minimum
charge when wood Is hauled but
short distances, and to meet this sit
uation Director Prouty says he Is
now considering thd establishment
of a mileage scale for rates of tran
sportation of cordwood in the state
of Minnesota and that he will extend
his investigation to Oregon.
"Wood is undoubtedly a prime es
sential in Oregon and ought to move
under rates as low as can properly
be established." he says.

not excuse you from giving again.
This work must be taken care of and
