His sword' quoth tbe kaiser to his people in 1914. Crushed by right, as well as over whelming numbers of the enemy, the kaiser fled to Holland upon the .first sign of danger to his person, doubtless forgetting in his fear that he was "the instrument of the Al mighty, His agent." The kaiser was wrong; the Lord make no mistakes He would not choose a coward tor an agent. And now this past-master in the art ot butchery wants to return to Germany. He has a purpose, and the English tear such a move might tare serious consequent might ho part of a well-laid plot to frus trate the aims of the allies. Hinden- burg is still commander-in-chief ot the main Germany army, and the crafty Mackensen, in command of thle German troops in Ronmania, is still defiant and states that the new German government is not a "legal one." These arch tricksters, with the aid ot the self-styled "instrument of the Almighty," could yet con verge their forces and bring about great suffering. It seems that the best and only satisfactory way to dispose of the kaiser and eliminate the menace of his influence would be to immedi ately demand his surrender. The majority ot his own people do not want him; Holland does not want him and cannot keep him, therefore he must eventually face his accu sers; he. Is but postponing what is Inevitable. PLAYING THEIR CARDS Germany, through Secretary Solf, 1 playing her cards for more than their face value. She is bluffing, trying to get the allies to give herj a portion of the spoils, as it were, I without spreading her hand upon the table. But England and Franrp, as well as America, will stand firm. The German women, through notes . cleverly framed by their mili tary leaders, are appealing to the women of the United States for a modification of the armistice terms. But Germany accepted the terms, now let her, for once, keep her word. AU such pleas should land upon deaf ears in this country. They should have no effect upon the sym pathy ot Germans in America, for the Gterman or German sympathizer In this country, who raises his voice In protest against the. terms of the Willamette THE BEST Sold and BY KINNEY & TRUAX GROCERY QUALITY KIKST armistice should be treated as a trai tor s one who seeks to destroy the terms of the armistlco and de- teat everything the allies have been fighting- for, and tor which they have sacrificed millions of brave men. Secretary Solfi latest statement is not only a plea for leniency, but a threat a straight-out threat that It the allies do not ameliorate the armistice terms Germany will throw a fit. In other words, Ger many will be plunged into Bolahe- vikl conditions, which will "be en dangering to the allies," It might be safely stated that should Germany be shaken with Bolsheviklsm she can show no more brutality than she has dona during the past four yrs therefor the allies should not fear her. Let us hope that the armistice terms will not be changed let Ger many throw her fit. CONGRESS TO ASSERT RIGHTS At a conference of republicans in Washington, reconstruction prob lems were considered and a resolu tion adopted which the republicans said would serve as a notice to the administration of the attitude ot the next congress. The resolution, in substancte, is: "Resolved, that the congress should assert and exercise its normal and constitutional functions, includ' ing legislation necessary for recon struction." And why not? If congress is to have no. voice in framing recon struct km work, or any other vital govern ntental matters, that body had best adjourn and' continue to leave the guidance of the ship ot state to one man. Von Tirpitx, one of the biggest cutthroats that ever ordered a pris - oner's throat slit, is still at larse. It was TIrpltz that insisted upon the ruthless submarine warfare. The iron cross of Germany, which has lately turned out to be a double - croys, is selling for one cent cash.

They are fighting among thetnaelvea, let them fight yes, and starve too as long aa they kill each other, until we got all other na tions fed, then if there is a surplus help them,' but not to the extent ot denying any peoplea ot any nation or ourselves either. i I also ask Do we want Solf and his peace overtures? How many of our boys have been killed after the word "kamerad" had bees spoken? What can yon expect ot people that are committing such crimes and atrocities as the German soldiers are doing as they march home In a time or peaceful armistice? Is there any safeguards that our ships and trans port will not be sunk by Ger man submarines that are) not sur rendered. Why let the soldiers kee rendered? Why not let the soldiers keep their uniforms that heirs may in herit those priceless souvenirs of the greatest war that was ever fought. and that they could he in parade every 11th day ot November as long as the original was living? I also wont to aak why the discrimination of only three pounds of Christmas cheer to our boys across the sea and 11 pounds to the soldiers of our for eign allies? Our boys made It safe tor Christmas present to go safely across, why do they get less than the foreigners? I am only an old woman tottering on the brink of second childhood and may seem garrulous to you, but these are a few ot the question that come to my mind that I would like some one to answer for me.

ConUM October 12, 19 IS Dear Folks: Mall came In last night and 1 re ceived an Observer ot June 26th, which was Interesting but rather late. I thluk that you had better stop sending papers, for the P. O, authorities don't take as much care of them as they do the first class. We have moved twice since I last wrote, up close to the front, then back further from the activities. Our present camp Is in a barracks on high ridge with a beautiful valley on each aide. There Is some timber here which is of the six Inch to a foot, or fifteen Inches, and beach and maple variety. Had some fine doughnuts and cof fee at the Salvation Army yesterday, and the girls sure are doing their bit ever here. They must have fried a two or three thousand during the day, so you can conceive of the work that It took to give the boys a little pleasure. It sure was pleasure, too, to sink your teeth into a luscious, crisp, honest American doughnut. There are IS men In our detach ment and we are working In cooper ation with a company of colored ser vice troops, acting aa instructor In road building and repair. Our seven months of work at the front will be mighty useful to us now. Must get to bed and try to get to sleep, but don't know how it will go without a few cannons or shells to go to sleep by. Lot of love, WALLACE. BEN. W. COUTAXT. Co. A, 23rd Engineers. American Expeditionary Fore, France. Don Hood; Over There Sept. 7, 1918.
