I shall make my ab sence as brief as possible and shall hope to return with the happy as surance that it has been possible to translate Into' action the great ideals for which America has striven." THE PRESIDENTS ADDRESS President Wilsoa in his address to congress yesterday touched upon many important matters, but one of the biggest problems . referred to, that of the railroads, he has left tor congress to solve. The president ays he Is ready to release the rail- Toads from government control "whenever a satisfactory plan ot ad justment can be worked out" but he leaves this perplexing question up to congress. He says he has no an' wer ready as to the solution of the question at the present time. In going to Europe, Wilson says bo has no private purpose but Is making the trip in an endeavor "to make eood what the Americans fought tor," and adds that there will be no restrictions on the news to be sent to America. Some of the con gressmen, however, doubt this and favor the sending of a special delega tion to keep that body Informed on very step at the conference. The president paid a glowing trib ute to our army, to the unity of the nation, and especially to the women of whom he said: "The least tribute we can pay them is to make them the equals of men in political rights, as they have proved themselves their equal in every field of practical work they have entered." Speaking of the readjustment problem, the president said: "I have heard much counsel as to the plans that should 'be formed and personally conducted to a happy con summation, but from no quarter have I seen any general scheme ot "reconstruction' emerge which thought it likely we could force our spirited business men and self-reliant laborers to accept with due pli ancy and obedience." Speaking of the returned soldiers the president said there would be no difficulty in finding them employ ment but that "there are others who will be at a loss as to where to ob tain a livelihood and it seems to me that the . development ' of public works should be renewed in order that opportunities be created for un skilled labor." In closing his speech and asking for the united support of congress and the people, the president con cluded: "I realise the magnitude and dif ficulty of the duty I am undertaking; I am poignantly aware at its grave responsibilities. I am the servant of the nation. I oaa bare no private the tangled railroad mess over to congress to straighten out, stating that he has no solution, while his son-in-law leaves the throttle to hunt personal fortune Just as the old re construction freight starts on the up-erade. The country needs "Mac' Tight where ho is tor awhile. KILLIXQ THE NEWSPAPERS If any one line ot business has suffered more than others during the war period it has been the newspa pers. First, they were throttled by the paper trust, while the president and congress looked on approvingly; then their postage rates were raised and with the higher cost ot labor and overhead expense thousands ot them were forced out ot business over the. United States. They have been compelled to make monthly re ports showing that they have re duced their paper supply, while at the same time thousands upon thou sands of tons ot paper were being uselessly wasted by that very gov ernment compelling them to save. On top of this the people of Ore gon voted down the publication of of the delinquent tax lists and reduc ed the advertising rate publishers charge for printing legal notices a double dose at one time which will result in the killing off ot many more newspapers in Oregon. m In the facs of all these jabs at publishers, the newspapermen prob ably did more than any other class of business men for the prosecution of the war. While they received some money, at a low rate, for a lim ited amount of war advertising, most papers carried hundreds of dollars worth of ifree advertising for the government. Secretary McAdoo him self said that had it not been for the newspapers the raising of the liberty loans would have been im possible in so short a time. Isnt it about time that the gov- ernment and the voters are waking up to the fact thata they are not handing the newspapers a square deal? Now that the war is over and there is no longer necessity ot granting the administration unlimited power. congressmen from every part of Uncle Sam's domain will begin to sit up and take notice; they will be gin to talk even Bob LaFollette may be heard from. After serving with the British army In France Moj. Cushman ltlce came home whvn America entered the war to fight with his own men. He was commisiiiouvd a major fn the air serv ice. He vt-us badly wounded last spring but refused a furlough. He suite rod a relapse and Is now at Walter Reed hospital slowly recovering. A quietus was certainly put on baseball last season. The stockhold ers of the St. Louis club ot the Na tional league, according to reports, lost about $30,000 on the season's run. Farm implements and garden tools can now be imported into Mexico, restrictions (having been removed by the (war board, but the ban Is still on the rifle and scalping knife. CAPTURES OWN BROTHER Dramatlo Incident Occurs on the Western Front. The grest war breeder of romance and adventure tins given birth to one of the most dramatic situations record ed since the kaiser's hordes started on their march through Belgium In 1014. A United States marine fighting on the western front recently csptured his own brother during raid on the enemy trenches, During the dsys ot the Civil war, when brother fought brother and father and son faced each other through the smoke of bat tle, such Incidents were more or less everyday occurrences. But in this, the greatest of all wars, writers have been quick to sny that romance In bat tle was a thing of the past. Private Harold J. Dibbs of the U. 8. marine crops, tells of the Incident In a letter written to his parents In Great Falls, Mont "A strange Incident happened when I went over the top. I saw a marine capture his own brother, who had !een put into the Germany army while on a visit over there. ' Another soldier of an allied nation wanted to kill hint, as he had helped In the capture. It was an Interesting sight, to be sure. The brother declared his intention of Joining the American forces.' Chapman, of the Oregon Voter, says that with thousands of men flocking in from the demobilized government camps, Portland Is fac ing a hard winter. Mooney is now working at his old trade as Vn iron moulder at St. Quentin. Labor keeps many a man out of trouble. All this talk about women's skirts becoming shorter next season is ab surd. It can't be done. Cut 'cm any shorter and they won't be skirts. NAMES OF WOUNDKD COMING BY MAIL SINKS MANY HUN SUBS French Marine Patrol la Doing Effso- tlvo Servles.
