IT ECHOES IN BERLIN
ATHENA. OREGON, SEPT. 20,1918
America's entrance in the world war
v. as purely for the purpose of ending
v.ar, and to treat for peace with brig
ands and outlaws who have ruthlessly
Murdered and outraged tens of tbou
ands of Serbian and Italian women,
murdered children and ruthlessly laid
waste an independent nation, would be
to set the seal of approval on Ger
many's perfidious treatment of Bel
gium. The Hapsburg monarchy, rul
ers of Austria-Hungary are but puppet
.satellites of German autocracy, and
this peace propoganda, long ago spot
ted by the entente governments, is in
spired by Hun militarists in the hope
of causing dissension among the allied
nations. The hope that the Pope's
influence for peace may be brought to
bear fruitfully on the Italian people,
placated with minor territorial con
cessions on the part of Austria, may
cause Italy to accept separate peace,
is perhaps the real subtle purpose of
the Austrian peace move at this time.
With Italy out ot it, thousands of Aus
trian soldiers could be fed to the west
ern trenches and relieve for a time the
precarious situation in which the Hun
armies now find themselves. The re
ply of this nation, to a man, rests in
the word of its President:
"Force, force to the utmost, force
without Htint or limit, tho righteous
and triumphant force which shall make
right the law of the world and cast
every selfish dominion down in the
dust."
Portland will spread a dragnet to
ro'ind up every idler in the city to
relieve tho shortage of labor in the
shipyards. And when the net is
drawn, it will force every idler either
to work, go to jail or into tho United
States ar.ny. The la' or shortage in
the Portland shipyards is acute at this
time and is the cause for the deter
mination of Mayor Baker to force
every man to work. Apparently the
mayor has struck at the kernel of the
situation by proposing that nun work
ing in the ship yards at high wages
one or two days, then idling for four
or five days, be sent before their draft
boards, if they be of draft age or be
taken before the municipal court for
prosecution under the idlers ordinance,
if they be above draft age. A man
employed in war industries at a high
wage is giving infinitely less to his
country than id the man in the trench
es of France, and when he slacks,
.should be considered the most despic
able slacker of all.
Death's triple loll of pioneers of
this vicinity last week, whs a blow
not often exacted of communities to
sustain, but the remembrance of Kind
deeds, neighborly acts, and sterling
integrity together with lives lived in
huncsty and uprightness, is a great
solace to the kindred of the departed
ones and a deep satisfaction to old
time friends. The hundreds who at
tended the last obsequies of these hon
ored pioneers and mourned beside the
three graves, attest more eloquently
than word or pen, the high esteem
in which each was held in life, and
evidence that will not be forgotten.
Other communities in which they have
later lived, are also bereaved, but nut,
it would seem, as Athena, the coui--rounlty
which shared the earlier
struggles and joys uf pioneer davs.
May they rest in peace.

Fanaticism of Spaniards on Isla de
Mujeres Is Regretted by
Archeologlsts. i
Fortified by grim rocks from the
wind-driven waves of the Yucatan
channel lies the Isla de Mujeres Isle
of Women. The Spaniards on a voy
age In search of gold In the sixteenth
century were tossed up on this Island,
where they found no gold, but hud
an Interesting time. When they stnrt
ed on an exploring tour of the Island
they came upon it stone temple. Lured
by the fumes of Incense, they entered
and saw ninny Idols representing god
desses, clothed in cotton garments.
Officiating at the ceremonies were
women dressed In bright cottons and
decked out with feathers and orna
ments of precious metals.
The Spaniards, excited by this scene
of Idol worship, rushed in, smnshed
the Idols, triumphantly placed an im
age of the virgin on the nltnr and
held mnss before the eyes of the as
tonished priestesses and native wor
shipers. Archeologlsts have never
ceased to regret the fervor of the
Spaniards, who thus unheedingly de
stroyed unique treasures of Mayan
civilization.
The Kpnnlnrds named the pluce Isla
de Mujeres for future reference and
sailed away. The frightened Maynns
deserted their shrine. For yenrs the
Isln de Mujeres lay still and forsaken.
Gradually It awakened. A fishing vil
lage grew up near the ancient altars
and the Yucntnns hunt the hawk
billed turtle where once Indian maid
ens swung the censers and chanted
their prayers.

By Mrs. Hazel Pedlar Faulkner
From a hospital somewhere Id
France a wounded American has writ
ten to his parents:
"We are going through hardships,
but the boys are taking hold in the
good old American way."
What a message for those of us
who have remained at home! What
a challenge to the vast army of men
and women who are In the borne
guard, carrying on in the thousand
and one ways that the exigencies of
war have brought upon us.
"We are going through hardships.'
We can believe that, when we re
call the dauntless charges which our
boye have been making over there,
and the dally lengthening casualty
lists which are resulting from their
fearless devotion to the task that Is
set before them.
We know they are going through
hardships, when we stop to think of
the hundreds upon hundreds who are
wounded, and who for the time be
ing at least need care and attention.
FIENDISH ENEMY
ADDS TERRORS
Of course they are going through
hardships, those boys from your
home and mine. Hardships are a
part of war. They are the Inevitable
result ot a state of war. And when
war is waged by an enemy ac skilled
in all the fiendish deviltries in
which the Germans have indulged,
they are the inescapable portion of
every soldier participating.
But hardships are not the part of
the war these soldiers of ours are
thinking most about. They are but
the Incidents In the day's work.
"The boys are taking hold in the
good old American way."
Could there be a better statement
of their manner of facing what comes
to them? Could there be a more def
inite course of action prescribed for
those of us at home during these
days which test the mettle of our
souls?
The time for our message to the
boys baa come again. The Fourth
Liberty Loan Is to be our response
to this wounded soldier's challenge.
MAKE YOUR
ANSWER NOW
Are we going to take hold in the
"good old American way?"
We have not had to go through
hardships, onrs have been an easier
part. We have known little of sacri
fice or deprivation. Compared with
the ottering of our boys, we have
done nothing as yet. Ami now, here
Is the challenge sounded to us.
The good old American way is all
that is asksi ot us. What is that
way?
You must frame the answer, moth
ers and sisters of tho west. Yours
Is an important part in the reply
which the nation will make to the
boys overseas. There is not one of
us who would not spare her son if
she could yes, even spare some
other mother's son the pain and
hardship he must bear. We are not
asked to do that. We could not,
though we would.
But we can make his part easier to
hear, we can go with him through
the hardships, by lending completely
Df our monSy.
There is no longer need to explain
what a Liberty Loan is. There i
do more necessity for pointing out
reasons for participation in It. This
Is the day when but to hear Its call
s to insure its heartiest support.
September 28th Is the date set for
jur concerted reply through the
Fourth Liberty Loan. Let us take
hold In "the good old American way."
What Is the very most you can do to
make the', advance s smashing suc
cess like the boys over there are
making?
