A CALL TO DUTY.
From tho battlefields In Franco
thoro conies an unspoken call that
Bhould find on answer In every Amer
ican's heart. Tho recent great events
in HureneiUhcjauoofcases of American
Arms on tho fields of Franco should
npur overy Amorlcan to greater ef
fort Our peoplo at homo should not rest
on tho laurels of our soldiers In
France. Every death on tho field of
honor In tho lino of duty and for our
country's causo should bo a call to
us for overy sacrlflco and overy exor
ilon to aid the cause for which our
soldlora aro fighting, for which our
soldiers havo died.
Increase production, decrcaso con
sumption, save, and lend to tho gov
crnmont. Every cent lent to tho
United States Is used to support,
strengthen and aid our soldiers In
Franco.
THE HARTRANFT PETITION.
Tho charges brought against Food
Administrator Hartranft In tho peti
tion reported In Tho Bulletin yester
day aro of a very general nature. Wo
doubt if tho officials to whom tho
petition is addressed will consider it
without moro detailed speclflcat oiu
of dereliction of duty, and Mr. Hart
ran ft Is entitled to know in detail tho
charges against him. Tho general
public, if it Is to be asked to form an
opinion In tho matter, is also entitled
to know tho facts so that It can
make up Its mind.
As tho matter stands now no facts
aro alleged. There aro simply gen
eral charges of discrimination and
partiality. If any of theso can bo
proved, Mr. Hartranft ought to be
removed; if they cannot be proved
bo ought to stay on the Job and be
given the assistance of every citizen
In tho county. In the meantime,
until the facts are brought out it is
duo him that Judgment be suspended.

This instruction will bo In chargo of
regularly appointed commissioned
and non-commlssloneil otficors of tho

co-oporato a considerable body of
faculty members and undergradu
ates who aro now taking training

various parts of tho country, fitting

tho Presidio, has nt prcsont moro
than ono hundrod university and col-
lego men of Oregon preparing them
solves to help In this military In
struction work.
Tho plan has been well thought
out by tho war department, and tho
details havo been announced by tho
adjutant general. It Is tho young
student's duty to follow tho course
mapped out for him by tho war de
partment. Ho should bo encouraged
In this sane, constructive, patriotic
course.
To quoto Secretary Raker: "Tho
importance of this plan for combined
military and colleglato training. If
wo aro to meet In tho futuro the
urgent needs of tho army for highly
trained men, is so great that tho war
department earnestly requests tho
colleges, councils of defense and
other patriotic societies to co-opcrato
in bringing it to tho attention of the
young men of tho country and In
urging them to do their part to mako
It a success."

HOW TO KNOW IT.
Aerophuto Miner Known by Any
Wonl Among Them but "Can"
Easy to Set It Allro If You
Aro Not Watching.
Ono of tho first things to bo dis
closed by the recent Introduction of I
tho sugar card was the fact that
-various people wero moro Interested
In trying to get a good supply for
themselves than In co-operating with
tho food administration, and denying
themselves in order that our soldiers
and our allies might bo cared for.
The sugar rules, liko all the other
food regulations, are designed to
treat overyono alike. The individ
uals who break them, or who try to
get an advantage over their fellows,
aro slackers of the worst sort. They
deserve tho most severe penalties
that can bo given them.
MAILING YOURSELF MONEY.
Every time you stick a thrift or
war savings stamp on your card you
aro mailing money to yourself to be
received later with Interest. Cashing
in theso stamps Is going to bo better
than "getting money from home,"
for with tho money comes the re
minder that you contributed to the
great victory which then will havo
been completely won.
HOW CAN I SERVE?
How pan I best servo my country,
is tho question that recurs, again
and again, to the patriotic young man
below the draft age.
Tho war department, through Sec
retary Uaker, has undertaken to
answer this question through tho or
ganization of the new Students'
Army Training corps, a branch of
tho United States army, which will
bo installed In all universities and
colleges having more than ono hun
dred malo students, in September,
Tho department is asking that the
young men below draft age enter
collego or contlnuo their work there,
join tho new corps, and fit themselves
as thoroughly as possible for the
Jiighest typo of service for which thoy
aro capable
Danger of depletion of the supply
of trained men In arts and sciences,

nppoaled strongly to the secretary of

of tho United States, the secretary
liolds It to bo a patriotic duty for
tho young men to contlnuo their

NAME THE SLACKERS.
Wo do not know Just what form
of action or inaction first drew down
on an Individual the opproblouB namo
of slacker, but It could not have
been much worse than tho business
of signing pledges for Red Cross sub
scriptions and then failing to pay
them. It Is easy to sign a pledge to
pay, and fine to see your namo In
tho paper and have your neighbor sco
It and think what a generous fellow
you are. It is also easy to forget
about it right away and to pay no
attontion to notices. And since tho
names of the ones who do not pay
are nover published you may rest
secure in tho publicity you gained
when your namo was first published.
Publish tho names of thoso who
do not pay, wo say. When a man Is
a slacker ho ought to be branded as
one, and especially ho ought not to
havo such credit as may havo come
from having his name In a list of

PRETTY LEGEND OF NIAGARA
How the Great Lakes Joined In Their

American, or tluv United Press road-
ors won't bo nblo to step It," ob
served Lieutenant Eddlo lllckon
bachor, American nco and former
automobile rncor, as ho bogan some
"glmpor talk," which is tho aviation
word tor aero slang.
"Wo'll start out with tho rudi
ments of tho aviators' language,"
said Rlckonbacher. "It completely
Ignores tho study of grammatical for
mations. Tho only formations wo
know aro aoro formation, which Is
group flying.
"First of nil, thoro's nn nlrplano.
With us It Is novor nn nlrplnno It's
always known an a 'can.' Probably
wo call Is that becauso It carries such
big gasollno tanks nnd when you stop
,to think of how easily tho Germans
could set tho can aflro It wo didn't
let thorn hnvo It first, you under
stand why an airplane Is a 'can.'
" 'Letting them havo It' Is Just the
aviation way of saying yoif'ro tiring
tho machlno gun as fast as it will
go, Into Holnlo. You almost always
havo a chance when you go to n pink
tea.
" 'Going to n pink tea' Is going up
In tho air after a German. Cuckoo
birds aro always talking about pink
toas, though they nover lmvo them.
A cuckoo bird Is nn aviator who does
all his fighting while nono of tho
glmpors aro around, and then comos
back and tells about It.
"If you spot something, which Is
scolng another plane, you Jockey for
position. That Is trying to get whero
you can shoot nt him without his
shooting you. Usually you try to
'get under his tall,' which Is behind
and under him and coming after him. I
Ho can't shoot then, and you can,
"Ho would probably 'zoom' or
'dlvo' or 'vrlllo' then. If ho zooms
ho runs for home; If he dives he
goes straight groundward without
turning, while If ho vrlllcs ho dives,
turning around like a top, so It's
difficult to shoot him.
"If It's a glmper you'vo piqued
on and plquo Is' only tho aviation
way of saying attacked or charged at
ho wobbles his flappers frantically,
probably to signal you. That means
ho moves his wings up and down.
You know ho Is American then bo
causo you can soo tho allied coquards
on his wings.
"If ha wero a Uocho ho would be
lotting you havo It, probably and
you'd probably, gotInto tho I) if ml
spot. That Is a -point hot ween him
and the sun, where ho can't soo you
but you can sco him. It Is n point of
vantago, technically speaking.
"Good luck and your gun doesn't
Jam and you'vo 'got a Uocho,' which
means bringing him down. Let him
get away to Hunland and the glmpors
will razz you with tho serpent action,
which Is going up and down by mov
ing tho wings abruptly. '
"Probably by this tlmo tho archies
havo discovered you and bogln to

they're called archies and thoy pop
per you because of tho clouds thoy

ones. You can kid them along, If
you wish, which Is getting first out
of rango and then doing stunts, usu
ally loops. It's bad form, though
unless you aro trying to draw their
flro from some other activity of an
other glmpor.
"Doing stuntB over archies Is tho
worst insult you can glvo the Ger
mans, and they novor fall to poppor
you. If you aro wlso you will zoom
on for iiomo nnout mat time, or
you'ro llablo to bo en punne, which
means tho same us cuckoo. Cuckoo
Is aero slang for broken down some
where. "It's all right if soma Holnlo hasn't
shot out of his holly at you, unex
pectedly, beforo you could zlz-zag
out of rango. Klg-zagglng usually
fetches him, ns wo say. Anywuy
you want to bo near enough to tho

you so you can glldo back. Then
tho mechanics can como out and got
their esklmo, as thoy call tho avia

VICTIM OF GERMAN "KULTUR"
Irvln 8. Cobb Writes of Work of Deatt
of Uerlln, as Ht Saw It In
London Hospital.
In n London hospltnl I saw n llttlo
girl who had been most terribly
maimed In nn nlr rnld. I nm not going
! to dwell on tin stnto of this child.
When I think of her I hnve not the
words to express the feeling that I
hnve. Hut one of her hands wns gone
nt the wrist nnd the other hand wns
badly shattered; so she was Just n
wan llttlo brutally abbreviated frag
ment of humanity, n living fraction,
mot grlevotnly nflllcted.
Her wounds had censed to pnln her,
tho head nurse told me before we en
tered, nml for the rest of the time sho
wns a good patient, ono of tho best In
the wnrd.
She wns lying, when I saw her, with
her head propped upon n pillow thnt
wns no whiter thnn her face wns, nnd
there wns n pitiful wrolth of n smllo
on her poor llttlo pinched common
plnce face, nnd to her brenst, with tho
bandaged stump of, ono nrm and with
her remaining hand that wns swathed
in n clump of wrapping, she cuddled
tip n painted chlnn doll which some
body had brought to her, und sho was
singing to It.
Tho sight, I tnke It, would have been
very gracious In the eyes of his Impe
rial mnjesty of Prussia except, of
course, that tho llttlo girl still lived;
that nnturnlly would be a drawback to
his complete enjoyment of tho spec
