Rain west, rain or snow east 4 portion; moderate southeast winds shitting to southwest 4 gales. Warmer east portion -t 4 tonight CITIZENS OP THE WORLD The inhabitants of the former German colonies. It seems, are to become subjects of the League of Nations. If the present plan goes through, they will be subject Imme diately to the governments of Great Britain, France, Belgium, Australia, Japan, etc., but their real allegiance will be to the league, by whose man dates the colonies are' given In trust to the various powers. This opens up a new and Interest ing field of political speculation. The "backward peoples" of the earth, despite their humble status, will occupy literally a position here tofore claimed only by the most cul tured of mankind, and never really occupied by anybody. The half-savages of many lands, recently ex ploited as slaves and ground re lentlessly under the brutal heel of Prussianlsm, may soon boast them selves genuine "Citizens of the World.' They will be the charter members, so to speak, of that extra-national and super-racial citizenship that may some day be shared with all the In habitants of the earth. WEIMAR VS. BERLIN Somebody In Germany had a bright idea when Weimar was ap pointed as the meeting place for the German national assembly which Is to shape the new constitution. Any place would be better than Berlin, with its overpowering Prus sian gloom and Its memories of kals erlsm. The little capital of Saxe Welmar will take those German constitution-builders into a different world, where Goethe and Schiller and Herder and Wleland and Liszt are held greater than Hinderburg and Tlrpitz, where museums and li braries and theaters and literary shrines are more notable than bar racks and forts, where there Is an oasis of civilization In the barren waste of kultur. A world-war would never have been launched from Weimar. Even a generation of brutal militarism can hardly have choked out all the old humanity and refinement of that "German Athens.' The spirits of the men who hated and fought everything that Blsmark and Wll helm have stood for will surely rise up and plead with those German delegates to win Germany away from her strange gods, back to the faith and works that gave her the only true greatness she ever possessed.

The government needed chrome had to have it quickly and miners Invested thousands of dollars to produce the metal. They should not be left with. a dead horse on their hands. . The Germans, led by Chancellor Ebert, are said to be getting quite chesty. Possibly they imagine that the allies have forgotten all about the war and armistice terms. The allies have delayed too long. Why not speed op and finish the busi ness? Only an armistice, and not peace, has thus far been declared. Irrigation for this part of the Rogue River valley has long been delayed, but have faith, it will come. Time settles all differences, and when irrigation does come, every body's property will be worth more city property as well as farm land. America, apparently, is a paradise for foreign agitators. With that ele ment tightening its grip on Ameri can industries there Is no reason why every member of congress should not vote to eliminate general Immigration to this country for four of more years. The Butte miners went out on strike because their war wages were reduced a dollar a day. As usual, it was the I. W. W. who distributed the first literature urging the work men to throw down their tools and quit. . There has been much talk about deporting undesirable and disloyal citizens. "Much talk" seems to be the right term. The unwelcome' guests are still with us. It's a safe bet that the first act of violence committed at Seattle if any la committed will be staged by a foreigner whose name ends with insky or vitch. Exit Flu enter Bolsheviki. . Belgium, Dec. 23, 1918 Dear Folks: Will just write a letter today to tell 'you about our trip up to Mt. Klmmell which we had been plan ning some time. We started out and .marched up there yesterday Its about 21 kilometers and It was sure worth" the hike. ' When we first sighted the hill we could not understand why It was worth the thousands of lives appar ently wasted in taking it. But when we got to the top and took it all In 'we changed our minds. From the top you have a perfect observation In all directions. It was very mud dy on this trip up. Has a clay for mation, which causes all the shell holes to look like small "Crater Lakes." On the way up we passed through a couple of towns. In one was what had been a beautiful ca thedral, old antique wood carvings It had been badly shot up and every thing was smashed. We went on to Klmmell where we begun vto climb the hill which saw such desperate fighting that made It world famous. Up on the side of the hill is a small ravine line on both sides with dug outs. We left our packs In a dugout about 200 feet from the top. They say that at least 20 feet was shot away from the top during the scrap. On the edge of the crest nearest the side we weht up the squareheads had' built three concrete pill boxes for observation posts, two of these we had shot up or down as you may call It. A little further on there was a big shell crater with a big 42 centemeter "dud" in it, and say those are some shells. Close to this Is the place where the big monument had been and all that Is left Is a few broken up brick and some twist ed iron bars. The British have now put up a small tower, made of 4x6 timbers and on top they placed a di rection board sign showing north, south, east and west. We looked around up there for a while and then went down on the Hun's side and found their advanced ammuni tion dumps and supply dumps. After rummaging through them we went back to the dugouts and stayed all night. Next morning we went on down Into the plain and looked over the battle field, barbed wire trenches didn't last more than 15 minutes during the fighting. Nothing could live or endure the shelling that this ground was given and it showed plainly the destruction. I don't be lieve there's a square foot that has not been turned over and churned up many times and there Is hardly a yard of it that doesn't have some kind of equipment on It from can non down to compasses, or parts of something. It seems to me that it all the men In the civilized world ,nn air fight at night when thoy use luminous bullets. It the night Isn't (to6 dark you ran see the pianos maneuver for position, and thon I suddenly one takes a dive at the enemy and a string of what looks like beads go slipping out toward jthe Heine plane, then a swoop and up again. We are making cocoa again to night, getting to be experts. Stop there and had an argument with an other sergeant over how to do It. jNo don't worry mother about me be jing disappointed at not being In the .army of occupation on the Rhine for 1 1 am not.

WE DO FINE SHOE REPAIRING - H1GU SCHOOL NOTES By Alice Ament On January 28 and 29 the semes ter examinations were held at the high school, and on February 3 the second and last semester's work be 'gan. There were IS pupils reenter ed as sub-freshmen and the total registration amounted to 181. Monday morning the seating order In the assembly room wns changed to meet the new demands, and there was a grand upheaval of books, pen cils, students and freshmen. After : things had somewhat subsided, and .each had taken an Inventory of who sat across the Isle, etc., classes were I railed, and the work began. Al I though the new freshmen became somewhat agitated at times, and show a decided aversion to books, they are merely living up to tradi tions, and may be excused. I The junior English classes, under ! the instruction of Miss Bridges, are now taking up journalism, and are Interviewing anyone who looks Inter esting, or as though they were con cealing a deep mystery. This, of course, means that all the faculty have divulged their state secrets and hidden ambitions to the skillful probing of these Impromptu journal ists. ' Editorials, headings and the different types of news Items are be ing studied. On Friday each class held an edi torial convention, attended by all the leading editors of the country. George Booth and Royston tarey as chairmen of the conventions, de livered the speeches of welcome, and announced each speaker. The re ports were all very Interesting, and In a number the entrance of women Into newspaper work was favorably commented upon. Tuesday evening, after school, a senior meeting was held to discuss the senior class play, and also the j senior thesis. It seems practically certain that it will be possible to , have a play, If the staging Is delay ed until late In the spring, when the health conditions will be perfectly! normal. 1 The prospect of having the play has brightened things up for the! seniors, as thus far all school ac-: tlvities have been forbidden. It was ' decided to select a play which will .Include the entire senior class In its, personnel, and as Mrs. Gunnell Is to ibe the director, everyone Is happy, j Even the thesis which all seniors ; must write has only momentarily dampened their ardor, and with the : prospect of the play before them, it will soon be out of the way. to lie us strong us tliose ot a man," fulils nr. 81 nu'lier.
