Warmer tonight. -f Moderate southeasterly gales on f coast. -f CHAMBERLAIN'S IDEA Senator George B. Chamberlain of Oregon suggests that the United 6tatee cancel the war debt of the al lies because "the money loaned was used to buy bread and bullets to help ns defend our homes." That sounds, upon first thought, like too much generosity on our part bat ie it? It would mean a debt of a few billion dollars more for as, but possibly not half so much as we -would have had to pay were it not for the fact that the allies did most of the fighting and sustained casualties that makes the American list appear very small, serious though St to. In reality, the money the allies borrowed was a part of our expense, This was a war in -which there was one aim,, one object in view to crush Prussian militarism. The war was coming; It wss due. It was onr cood fortune to be remote from the abode of the arch-murderers. But there is abundant, irrefutable proof that Che kaiser and bis war lords were thirsting for world dominion and the great conflict could not be averted. Germany said America was too money-mad to enter the war; that money was onr god and we placed it above country, honor and glory. "Would it not be an opportune time to prove to the world America's greatness by cancelling the war debt of the alllesT For three long, bloody years the Allies withstood the thrusts and bru tality of the Roche hordes bent up on shattering all nations save Aus tria and the un-Chrlatian Turk. And that little country that stood In the path of the grim monster, Prussian- ism, stood unflinchingly at its post and made the bravest fight that has ever been recorded. Hopelessly out numbered and realizing her doom, yet she did not falter when honor and home were at stake, but manned her guns until monster cannon and overwhelming numbers of the enemy bore her down. Her bravery saved Paris, and possibly France. Her's is the greatest glory and honor of all poor little Belgium where Is ithe man Who would not rather shake lands with King Albert than with any other person in Europe? The allies owe much to America in dollars and cents but America owes much to the allies in flesh and blood, something money cannot re place. - Here is a chance for America to now her greatness.

It that Is fact, now is the time to get busy. If that institution is burned and Uvea ere lost because it is a tiretrap, those responsible tor its present condition will also be re sponsible for the burned victims. i Such is the price of proeraatina-j ation. There hare been too many buildings that were not made sate until after the charred bodies ot those who were entrapped therein were raked from the smouldering embers. The Oregon tan suggests that a yellow streak be painted upon the back of every slacker. Why paint it? At the first sign of danger the slacker displays It much plainer than the yellowest paint ever manu factured could show.. I Copenhagen, Nov. 26. General Ludendorff, reputed to have for a long time been the directing head of German military affairs, has quit German soil, according to the Frank fort Gazette, which states that the general has left for Sweden. His title was first quartermaster general URGES FARMERS TO KEEP DRAINAGE DITCHES OPEN Oregon Agricultural College, Cor- vallis, Nov. 26. -"Forward looking farmers are keeping their surface drainage ditches open during the winter," says Pror. W. L. Powers of the college soils department. "This will enable them to begin work ear lier next spring than if the ditches were allowed to choke up and flood the fields." Farmers who have learned the value of keeping the surface runs open ere more determined than ever to allow no preventable surface water on the lower arss. Weeds, brush and vines are torn out and piled for burning, and the dirt is re moved by plow or shovel. Soil thus protected are less acid, more porous, better aerated, and more retentive of moisture. i Seven of America's war charities, consolidated in the huge united war wor campaign to raise 1250,000,000 for relief work, have started the greatest effort In this line ever launched. The campaign committee, of which John D, Rockefeller, Jr is chairman, is endeavoring to have the public contribute Liberty bonds toward this work and 1ms sdopted as a slogan, "Back your boy with a bond!"

' HEAD liETTVCK GREEN' ONIONS CA1UIAGH HUBBARD SQUASH NAVEL ORANGES FLORIDA GR4PH FRUIT Mrs. IHuiks Song Leader The following letter is from Max- lne Anderson Danks, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. P. Anderson of Placer. On the 29 of June she lost her husband through death in Chi cago and soon after enlisted for such service as womes can do in Francs: New York, November ISth, 1918. My dear Mother: I write you and father it I get nothing else done today. Have been working so hard since coming to New York that between times I can do nothing but Just rest, or else at tend to getting my equipment ready for my work in France, which is a very tedious task and somewhat ex pensive as everything I sll ready have in the way of clothing must be left behind. We have to wear a uni form of gray green whipcord with hat to match, high tailored collars with blue tie, tan shoes and stock ings. My hat and left sleeve of my coast bears the Y. M. C. A. insignia. The entire uniform Is very becom ing to aH who are favored with the opportunity of wearing it. My first week here I spent in an in tensive course of training tor my work over seas. Went into class right after breakfast and was not relieved till 8 p.m.. At the end of that week was put to doing canteen work in the different canteens here which is Immensely interesting but very long hours, and we do every thing required ' tor the feeding of hundreds of . hungry bo's. Some times I went to work at 5 p.m. and out at 2 p. m. then back at i p. m., relieved at 1 a.m. One day I work ed 17 hours out of 24. We are Just Ilka anldden. we have to obev or-4 ders and go wherever sent. I have been held ihere for two or three weeks on account of delay In get ting my passport. The delay is cau sed by the congestion in the pass port office in Washington. There are about 200 Y.M.C.A. men and women workers held here in New York waiting for their passports. It is a dreadful expense to the Y.M. C.A. but it cannot be helped. New York was hilariously -wild last night over the peace report. A bunch of us went over on Broadway to see the sights, which we certainly did see, and some of them were heartrending to me. ' I saw thous ands of people-all acting lke mad. Pandemonium reigned supreme, screams and shouts of Joy, bells and whistles, tin cans and every immagl nary thing with which to make a noise and such a bedlam that was WAR CHARITIES UNITE IN $250,000,000 DRIVE turned loose was Indescribable. But j.the sad part ot It all and what made I my heart none was the siirlit of so I many drunken soldiers snd sailor I and officers 4oo, and oven drunken I women. It made me shudder and ; wonder what our own two hoys were t doing, and in the face of every young sailor I seemed to see my young brother Turner, and, every i uniformed soldier utndo me ; think of Dewey In France and won der how ho was celebrating the end of war. France as we all know Is a land of wine and temptations. A vital question Is, will our young boys : be able to withstand the temptations and eome home as pure and good as when they went away. We can only pray God to watch ovor and keep them safe from all allurements. I am now living at the Y.M.C.A. 'dub for women oversea workers, which until very recently was the home ot Mrs. Phelps Stokes. It is Just across the street from Plerpont Morgan's home and in the same block Is the home of Anns Morgan, his sister. We are Just one block from the great Tiffany Jewelry store on fifth avenue. We moved down here nearly three weeks ago, and up to then we were domiciled at one of the dormitories ot Columbia University where we took our course. Our bedroom overlooked one of the camps of the university. It really was the football grounds until it was turned over for drilling purposes for both soldiers and sail ors. The view from our window Is wonderfully grand. We were awak ened before break ot day by the bu gle, and soon after on going to the window we could see hundreds ot men moving about In the early mor ning drill. They began before day light and It seemed almost ghostly to see them moving about in the dark gray dawn, all silent except the clear-cut commands of the drill officors. I have Just finished taking the song leaders course. I completed the course last night and will go down this evening and get my diplo ma. It Is another course ot Intensive training and was much harder than the one at. Columbia College. Am now a graduate Y.M.C.A. song lea der and can be called upon to go to any crimp here as In Europe snd lead the soldiers in song. Just think ot It mother, I who have never made a specialty ot singing snd only a tew weeks ago when I bad to bow to the greatest sorrow of my life the loss ot my dear companion, I thought. J could never sing again My diploma will entitle me to the honor ot standing before hundreds, perchance thousands of our soldiers and leading them In song. That work has always been done by men and now there are only about two women Including myself who have that honor: The class started with about; 70 men and women but they gradually dropped out till only a few were left. Am really proud of it for It is good to know that I can be of some service to our boys who have done so much for us and our ountrjr.
