No. 46 NEWBERG, YAMHILL COUNTY, OREGON. THURSDAY. AUGUST 19, 1920 VOLXXXI COUNTY MERCHANTS G r a ph ic n j say they were Filipinos, he of the skull cap. nothing abashed, turned to the Japanese gentleman with, "How did you know tbey were not Japan ese?” The young ladies were figreatly amused when we rehearsed the con versation to them, but one, with s touch of pathos, said It gave her a feeling of sadness to find her country so little known; that scarcely any one recognised them as Filipinos, and that she heard the Filipinos so rare ly mentioned and little' recognized. Thus at first hand we got a little Insight into the aspirations of the Filipinos. Competing with these young ladies for honors was a party o f Japanese athletes on their way to Antwerp, to participate in the Olympic games. Tbey were a fine set o f fellows, de servedly popular. They gave fre quest exhibitions of Jin Jltsu, the denrious ways of which are dark and peculiar, and took great interest in giving lessons to their fellow trav- lers, ineluding the ladles. The ob ject lessons were very entertaining indeed, when, for instance, one of the little men would easily toss some big fellow over bis shoulder. The trainer explained that Jin Jitsu means literally, "soft throw.” We would say that the actual translation Is often very free. The athletes took their workouts dally on deck, mornings and evening. The runners would go through their paces, treading up and down as In a treadmill without moving their position on the deck. One can Im agin* the picture as the athlete, par ticularly a sprinter, would assume a speed comparable to coming down toward the tape. It is needless to say that the ¿imall boys aboard quickly turned their devotion to an oriental shrine of worship. • Steerage Fellowship. One of the most Interesting places to some of us was the steerage, very crowded, and made up largely of foreigners returning home to middle European countries such as Poland, and Austria. They were going back to see how the old home folks are faring since the war, and many of them think they will stay. As we talked wish some of theee people and played with their little folks, and as we observed them generally we formed a very favorable .Impres sion of them. They were evidently industrious, thrifty people (they would have to be thrifty else they could not have met even steerage rate, just about twice what first class was before the w a r!) and well dis posed. We could with difficulty un derstand the broken English of the parents but it was different with the children, of whom there must have been one hundred or more, and some fine specimens of childhood, too. One pretty six year old girl to whom we quickly gave our heart, along with some fruit, sang to us the same little ■ kindergarten. “ Happy New Year to you," which we have heard another little six year old sing at home and for an encore gave us "B-i-n-g-o, Bingo Was His Name," an unmistakable evidence of Ameri canization. Returning to the cabin passengers, they were as a whole a tine lot of people to be thrown with. There was a good deal of drinking it is tru. mostly confined to the men so far as we could observe, though some few women drank as well as smoked Every morning early the stewards made a continuous procession car rying wet goods from below up past our open door to the bar above, (ours was necessarily the policy of the open door for the sake of a little comparatively fresh air) which was the last Institution to close at night. “ And What For?” One who crosses back and forth much told me that this was the first passage he had made when the veil of depression from the war seemed lifted and when the atmosphere of pleasure predominated And yet there were several going over to France to visit the graves of lost ones. One man who had lost his only son, talked pathetically and even bitterly. "And What For?" he asked. "W h et For?” And who can answer? We gre still very much In the "duration of the war.” Evidences of its tragedies are seen everywhere. People are asking mere and more insistently. "And what for?” — a question which Friends will attempt to answer, at least to face squarely.

Hoover hoping to shun publicity which always so distasteful to them. They had been pretty well over town and had stopped near the United States National Bank where Mr. Hoover was busily engaged fa making some slight repairs on his car. when Jesse Edwards located them and acted as host during th eir stay. Although having been inform ed by telephone message from W - B.

Colcord home, where H oover lived for a time with the Benjamin Miles family, and the former I— — o f his> uncle, Dr. H. J. Min thorn were also places of interest. In this connection Mr. Hoover stated clearly and with feeling that the attitude of criticism attributed to him to - wSrd ’ thee« and other relatives in recent magazine articles was abso lutely without foundation, as he harbored no such feelings and that the authors did tio t have access to his diary as claimed. He proved a keen observer and in driving about nothing seemed to escape his vision. He was amazed at the growth of the town and country and declared that he sa.w enough automobiles parked on the streets to have purchased a ll there wqs of Newberg when he lived here as a lad. After greeting a number o f busi ness men and former friends the guests had dinner at the Imperial with Mr. and Mrs. Edwards and a few others. Mr. Hoover was accompanied by his charming wife.
