cerptiil from them reort of atroci
ties under the title "Letter of tho
Hun." Many of the lender In thu
rclchktnj; felt very keenly the brutality
of the emperor' speech. The obnox
ious word "IIiiiih" bud excited nlmost
universal couilemmitlon. When Hm
relchslnif met, In November, the speech
wn openly discussed. Ilerr I.leber of
the center (Ctilholle pnrty), nfter quot
ItiK the "no mercy" Hirtlon of tho
peirh, lidded, "There nre, nln. In Ocr
many Krotip ciioukIi who have regard
ed the atrocities told In thu letter
which have been published n the duti
ful response of soldier nddrcncl
and cnrouniKcd." The lender of the
Kinl demncrnt. Ilerr Itebel, pokc
even more pointedly. Toward tho end
of it t uo-hour nddre on the atrocities
committed by Hm Herman soldier In
China nnd on the speech of tho cm
furor, he snld :
"If Oertnnny wishes to be tho bearer
of cIvlllKfltlon to the world, we will
follow without contradiction. Hut the
wny nnd menu lu which thl world
policy lin been carried mi thu fur, In
which It hn been defined by the em
peror . . . nre not, In our opinion,
the wny to preserve the world position
of (lennany, to kIii for (Jeriminy the
respect of the world."
The consequence of Hm emperor'
speech llebel nptly described:
"Ily It the nIkiiiiI wn kIvcii. curbed
In the lilKhest authority of the Herman
empire, which must have most weighty
consequences, not only for the troop
who went to China but also for thono
who stayed nt home. An expedition
nf revenue so burhnrnu it thl ha
never occurred In the Inst hundred
year and not orten in history; nt
least, nothliiK worse limn this has hap
pened In history, either done by Hm
IIiiiih, by the Vandals, by OciikIiI
Khun, by Tumerhine, or even by Tilly
when lie sacked MiiKdchuri;."
Atrocities In China.
These atrocities In Clilnn or "Letters
of Dm IIiiiih" continued to bo published
In Hm Vorwaert for several year and
appeared Intermittently In the debutes
of Hm relchstiiK as late as 1IHM, At
that tliiio tho socialist, Ilerr Kunert,
reviewing the procedure In u trial of
which he bad been the victim In the
prelous summer, stated that ho had
offered to provo "that (leriumi soldier
In China had cupiKcd In wanton und
hriitul ruvuKlnu; Hint plunder, pIIIiiko,
extortion, robbery, un well as rape und
sexual abuses of tho worst kind, hud
occurred on u very lurRO ncnlo uud that
Oermaii soldiers hud participated In
them." He had not been kIvcii tin op
portunity to prove III ullcKUtlniis, but
hud been sentenced to prison for three
months for iissnlllnc the honor of the
"whole Oennun nnny." Tho out
rnireousues of thl sentence wn mmle
clear by tho revelations, mmle In the
relchsluK Hhortly afterwards, of simi
lar atrocities committed by Oermun
nlllclalH und soldier In Africa In Hm

Tho Control Oregon Irrigation

In tho contract between tho successor
In Interest and tho Stato Land Hoard
Insofar as It could, but In return has
not continuously maintained tho
cunals and ditches In such manner as
to allow tho froo tlow of water there
in; and partially becauso of this con
dition ha deprived many of tho sot;
tiers or tho uso of enough wator to
properly mnko up tho deficiency In
natural moisture upon their land;
and has not distributed tho water
flowing Into its dltcht-n according to
thu renpoctlvo rights of tho settlers
tho record clearly showing Hint thero
has been actual and unjust discrim
ination between various settlers in
tho several portions of tho Irrigated
district, which discrimination has re
sulted In tho receiving by somo set
tlors or moro and by othors or ls
than their proper and necessary uharo
or tho avallablo water.
No Ktniidiird Hystcm.
No satisfactory or standard system
of measuring and recording tho

ily the uso of larger heads of wa
