POINTS
After reading the terms ot the
armistice with Germany to the sen
ators and representatives In the hall
of congress at Washington yester
dny, President Wilson spoke a fol
lows: The car thus comes to an end;
for, having accepted these terms of
armistice, It will, be Impossible tor
the German command to renew It.
It Is not now possible to assess the
consequences of this great consum
mation. We know only that . this
tragical war, whose consuming
flame swept from one nation to an
other until all the world waa on fire,
is at an end and that It waa the priv
ilege of our own people to enter It at
Its most critical juncture In such
fashion and In such force as to con
tribute in a way of which we are all!
deeply proud, to the great result. We
know, too, that the object ot the war
Is attained; the object upon which
all free men had set. their hearts;
and attalned with a sweeping com
pleteness which even now we do not
realise.
Armed Imperialism such as the
men conceived who were but yester
day the master of Germany, Is at
an end, Its Illicit ambition engulfed
tn black disaster. , Who will now
seek. t6 revive' It? The arbitrary
power of the military caste of Ger
many which once could secretly and
of Its own single choice disturb the
peace ot the world I discredited and
destroyed. And'more than that
much more than ,Jhat has been ac
complished. The great nations
which associated themselves to des
troy It have noVydeflnltely united

such a peace as will Satisfy the long

ments which are based upon some
thing much better and much more
lasting than the selfish competitive
interests ot powerful state. There Is
no longer conjecture as to the objects
the victors have In mind. They have
a mind in the matter, not only, but
a heart also.- Their avowed and con
certed purpose Is to -satisfy and pro
tect the weak aa well as to accord
their Just rights to the strong.
' The humane temper and Intention
of the victorious governments ha al
ready been manifested In a very prac
tical way. Their representative In
the supreme war council at Versail
les have by unanimous resolution as
sured the peoples of, the central em
pires that everything that Is possi
ble In the plrcumBtance will be done
to supply them with food and relieve
the distressing want tW Is In ' so
many place threatening their very
lives; and steps are to be taken Im
mediately to organize these force to
give relief In the same systematic
manner that they were organized In
the case of Belgium. '
By the use of the Idle tonnage
of the central empires It ought pres
ently to be possible to lift the tear of
utter misery from their oppressed
population and sot their minds and
energies tree from the great and haz
ardous task of political reconstruc

hand. Hunger does not breed re
form; it breed madness and all the

dered life Impossible.
, For with the tall of the ancient
government which rested like an In
cubus upon the peoples of the central
empire, has come political change
not merely, but revolution, and revo

Washington, iNov. 12. Offices are
now open In 14 of the chief cities ot
the United States to receive applica
tions of disabled soldiers and sail
ors of the American, army and navy
for free education to equip them for
the vocation for which - they are
most fitted. These offices have been
established ty.tbe. federal board tor
vocations and are Is the following1
cities: ' Washington. PhlladelDhla.
New York, Boston, Atlanta, New Or
leans, Cincinnati, St. Louis, . Dallas,
Denver, - Chicago, Minnesota, San
Francisco and 8eattle., . , (
At each office are stationed men
to advise the disabled fighters as to
what they are entitled to receive, a
medical officer and a man to obtain
employment for them when they are
ready to go to work. This promised
by the federal board that applica
tions will be sympathetically consid
ered with the best interests ot the
disabled man In mind. : ' -
While receiving education the
government will pay the disabled
man $65 a month, and in addition
will provide him with the funds ne
cessary to pay educational fees. Each
man accepted lor re-education will
be sent to an Institution giving spe
cial coarse in the line he has chosen
or he will be given Instruction In
any Industry he wishes to learn.
. During his training period, allow
ances will be made by the govern
ment to his dependent such as
wife, children and mother. These
will be fixed in proportion to the
amount they received while he was
In active service. ,
When the disabled man ha fin
ished his training the federal board
promises to have employment ready
for him. After he has gone to work
again his compensation from the
war risk Insurance hureau begins
and will continue unaffected by the
amount ot his earnings.
In making these announcements
the federal board for vocational ed
ucation states:
"The worst mistake a' disabled
man can make Is to drift into a low
grade, unskilled occupation. With
out any training he must compete
with the normal man m a line of
work where brute strength and phy
sical fitness alone count and there
can be no doubt as to the outcome
when work becomes slack. Every
consideration' requires that a ..dis
abled man should obtain permanent
employment at a desirable age In the
position tpr which lie Is best fitted
or for which he pan become nest
fitted. Otherwise his career ' will
consist ot alternate periods ot more
or less undesirable employment. Idle
ness, trying to live on his pension
and picking,. up an occupation. No
self-respecting veteran ot this great
war can afford to je placed In this
position. ; There Is only one escape
by which these man may make their
future safe and that Is If training
Is necessary to obtain it through the
federal board for vocational educa
tion." ,

BARLEY AND OOTTOX MEAL '
FOB BRAX AND SHORTS
Oregon Agricultural College, Cor-
vallis, Nov. 11. A mixture of barley
and cottonseed meal Is an excellent
substitute for bran and shorts mill
run so extensively " used as stock
feed and now difficult to - obtain,
points out E, B. Fitts. extension spe
cialist in dairying at the Oregon Ag
ricultural college.
"This mixture costs more than the
wheat feeds but Its feeding value,
pound for pound, la 18 V per cent
greater." says Professor . Fitts. ,"It
also provides greater certainty , of
securing uniform value than the
mixtures of bran and shorts sold by
the flouring mills as mill run."
