CREDO
cTHENA. OREGON, OCT. 11, 1918
There need be no quibbling over the
Kaiser's prjposal for an armistice to
negotiate!'; on President Wilsun's 14
conditions of peace. All the blood,
misery-and treasure exacted by the
Hun ruler fr-rni the world during his
four .years of carnt ge and devastation
go for naught, were any less uncom
promising reply made to his whining
appeal, than thr.t given Bulgaria.
Stripped, as Bulgaria has been stripped
and as Turkey and Austria will soon
be stripped of every means of offensive
warfare; thrust back on German soil,
is just what is coming to the raping
scions of the Hohenzollerns and the
Hapsburgs. That, and that only will
satisfy the civilized world today. Then
may the terms of peace be dictated,
but not negotiated. As a result, Bel
gium, France, Russia, Sorbll, Italy,
Montenegro and Roumania will have to
be evacuated, the seas swept clean cf
submarines, and Uermany will have to
stand ready to allow the adjustment of
colonial claims with reference to the
wishes of the governed population,
abandon economic control of Russian
territory, indemnify Belgium, restore
Alsace-Lorraine, restore Italia Irre
denta, consent to establish an indepen
dent Polish stute, see to the relinquish
ment of Turkish cuntrol of nun-Turkish
populatons, and to the establishment
of autonomous government for the dif
ferent nationalities of Austro-Hun-ga'.y.
And if Germany says she will
do all these things her promise must
come from one, other than a person
speaking for the Hohenzollerns and
the military autocracy that plunged the
world into war. This is why the Pres
ident asks Prince Maximilian for whom
he is speaking, and in reality it is the
crux of the entire situation.
By willing service of a free
people to do these things:
To feed the Allies that they may
continue to fight.
To feed the hungry In Belgium
and other lands that they may
continue to live.
To feed our own soldiers over
seas that they may want noth
ing.
To keep prices steady and the
flow of distribution even that
the poor at home may be fed.
To make everyone's effort count
its utmost for winning the
war for freedom.
FOOD CONTROL IN AMERICA
la or AND FOR THE PEOPLE
V V VI V W W TTTT TTTTTTtT 'FTI
OUR GREAT TASK
By Herbert Hoover.
If you could stand in the middle of
Europe today and lurvey the land to
Its borders, you would discover its
whole population of 400,000,000 human
beings short of food. Millions of peo
ple In Poland, Finland, Serbia, Ar
menia and Russia are dying of starva
tion and other millions are suffering
from too little food. Our Allies and
the neutrals are living on the barest
margins that will support life and
strength.
This, the most appalling and dread
ful thing that has come to humanity
since the dawn of civilization, is to
me the outstanding creation of Ger
man militarism. The Germans them
selves are not the worst sufferers.
They arc extorting at the cannon's
mouth the harvests and cattle of the
people they have overrun, leaving
them in desolation. If the war were
to cease tomorrow, the toll of actual
dead from starvation within the Ger
man lines would double or treble the
6,000,000 or 6,000,000 of men who have
been actually killed by Germany and
her allies In arms. The 10,000,000 peo
ple In occupied Belgium and Northern
France would have died of starvation
had it not been for us and the Allies.
We must build our food resources
to stand ready for any demands upon
us by the Allies. It is of no purpose
to us to send millions of our best to
France If we fall to maintain the
strength of their men, women and
children on our lines of communica
tion. This United States is the last
I reservoir of men, the last reservoir of
ships, the last reservoir of munitions
and the last reservoir of food upon
which the Allied world must depend
If Germany Is to be defeated and if
wo are to bo free men.

The Kaiser seems to have camou
flaged his government to deceive the
allies in his proposition to gain an
armistice, to "negetiate fur peace"
on Wilson's 11 conditions. Chancellor
Max is a prince of the Idood; Dr. Solf,
chief advocate of empire expansion;
Philip Schei len ami. who was in pay
of the militarist party to put over the
Bolshevik! coup in Russia these em
brace the new government announced
by the kaiser as representing the voice
of the German people, in the deceptive
hope of making his chancellor's peace
proposal acceptable to the President
andHhe allied governments.
School district No. Ill is the first
country district in Umatilla county we
have knowledge of. organizing a pa
lent'teachcr's association. Another
thing out of the ordinary with this
particular district, is that it has en

more such districts In the county.
Special sermons may be made con
ducive to church-going in the small
town as well as the city, as was in
dicated Sunday evening last, when
Pastor Burton of tho Christian church
delivered his patriotic discuurse to u
e and appreciative congregation.
, The' present food conservation cards
now hanging in the windows are soon
to be replaced with new ones, says Mr,
;Hoovtr. The women of the Nation
arc behind Hoover and patiently await
the new food regulations.
Now Is the time to eat and to pre
erve home grown products. Perish
able fruits are coming on the market,
the gardens are making available daily
supplies of food that will take the
place of the commercial canned ar
tides that are needed for shipment
abroad. Sugar has been made avail
able for home canning purposes and
the supply Is good at the present time.
The home garden and the canning of
its products means more this year
than it ever did before because It will
play a very Important part In keeping
the fighting forces supplied with the
kind of food they need at the time
they need it most.
America expects every civilian to
do his or her duty In the same spirit
us she expects each soldier when the
command comes, "TO GO OVER THE
TOP" without turning to see If his
neighbor had gone first.
We have often quoted that old
verse, "Gather your roses while ye
may," and we can well now change It
to "gather your vegetableB," for by so
doing we can accomplish great good.
"Wo stand behind our boys in
France and we will not call It a sacri
fice but a privilege to do our bit to
ward feeding them Over There."
Emma V. Mllliken.
Conserve, reserve and preserve ali
of these fine fruits and vegetables
that are now within your reach; you
will need them the coming winter.
By eating more perishables here at
home we may save others from per
isulug "Over There."

The President's masterly diplomatic
thrust in passing the "buck" up to the
Kaiser is aptly paraphrased by a news

"WAFTS NOTMINO
British Fighting. Men Found The!"
Health Improved Through Use of
Unbelted Whtit Meal.
A Utile more than u century ago,
when Britain had been fighting for
years against Napoleon, food became
very scarce. Following Is from u book
on bread-making, written by Sylvester
Graham, in 1837:
"In order to conserve wheat as much
OS possible, the British government or
dered that the nrmy should he supplied
with bread made from unbolted wheat
meal, I. e simply the wheat ground
without having the bran or middlings
removed. The soldiers were at first
displeased with the hrend and refused
to eat It, even casting It from them in
great rage, but after two or three
weeks they began to be much pleased
with It and preferred it to the fine
flour bread.
"The result of this experiment was
thnt not only was the wheat made to
go further, but the health of the sol
diers Improved so much and so mani
festly in the course of a few months
thnt it became n matter of common re
mark among themselves and of obser
vation and surprise among the officers
and physicians of the army. They ex
pressed themselves with confidence
and zeal on the subject. The public
declared that the soldiers were never
so healthy and robust. The public pa
pers were for months flUed with prnise
of whole-wheat bread, and It was reg
ularly Introduced into families.
"Still, after this experiment with
such happy results and so general and
full a testimony had been given in fn-
or of the coarse-wheat bread, when
large supplies of superfine flour came
in from America, and the crops from
home became ngnln abundant and the
act. of parliament regarding the food
of tne nrmy became extinct, most or
the people by degrees returned to their
old habits of eating fine bread."

Rehabilitation of Wounded Soldiers
Seems Little Short of Miraculous
to a Civilian.
Foster Debevolse of South Orleans,
N. J on a recent tour through France
and England, visited the armies at the
front, and speaks with enthusiasm of
their indomitable spirit and unfailing
hopefulness.
In commenting he speaks on the
work done for wounded soldiers:
"The men in English cities, of whom
I saw hundreds, without legs or arm,
or with reconstructed faces, and those
In hospitals in process of being mend
ed, all had the same words: 'If only
I could go back again !' And this
brings me to another wonderful thing,
and that Is the way the hospitals are
performing miracles. When finally,
sometimes after months and months of
trentment, the reconstructing proccRS
Is finished, the men are taught trades
and placed In positions so that they
are enabled to take up their lives
again with a large degree of happiness.
Straps operate as muscle's on artificial
legs and arms; and I have seen such
men swing a hammer, play golf, knit,
or work at lathes. It Is almost Incred
ible what is being done. Hats off to
the doctors, I say 1"
