OREGON, NOV. 15, 1918 WILSON'S H POINTS. You sent the boys over there to smash the old war into smithereens, and they did it. Now they need re creation and moral uplift during the long lull lietween now and the time be fore homecoming, and they're asking you lor it through the solicitors for the United War Work fund. These solic itors are now calling on the people of Athena and vicinity. They are leaving their business and work to do it, and it is no more than fair to tliem that you be prepared to have your rated subscription ready when thev call on you for it. Remember, the boys over there have done their part, so it is up to you to do yours, now. All open covenants of peace; With widest freedom of the seas. Each economic bond to loose, Without a secret tie or ruse. All armaments to smaller grow, Consistent with defensive show. B, Each colony to have a share Of justice, with paternal care. ft, Ureat Russia to be left to state Her choice of rulers and her fate. 7. Wee Belgium must be made free. And noie dispute her sovereignty. 8. Pair France to be in full restored, And damage paid by Hunnish horde. 9. LoBt Italy should be regained, Each people by its own reclaimed. 10.

All nations then make common cause To each repect the sovereign laws. R. G. A. in Portland Journal. The fundamental object of America in entering the war was to advance the masses of Europe in their struggle for liberty. Indeed, President Wilson's proclaruationn of war against the now defunct Imperial German Government, was founded on the basic principles of world democracy, only. Yet it takes a two-column editorial for one of our county editors to express h is opinion that there were no statesmen in the world wise enough to conceive of the overthrow of autocracy when Germany mobilized her army in the summer of 1U14. The stand taken by the editor is not consistent with the facts. From the time the German hordes knocked on the gates of Belgium with the inn i lid lis!, the press and statesman bhip of the allied nationH and of the neutral nations perceived the diabolical act as a direct, open blow at liberty, and from that moment has never ceased a mighty campaign of enlight enment of the masses from statesmen and the press. Of a surety, the men tality of some grasped the situation more quickly than others and more keenly visualized the ultiniuto results. In the editorial, two instances of acumen are cited, and yet, it is admit ted that these were "blind to anything except the interest of this country, and its duty to assist the allies for prac tical purposes." But wo do not cate gcrically give this editor in question a place beside those who did grasp the situation in its entirety learned statesmen and euitors of the leading newi papers of the world; ambassadors who were at the seat of war in the be ginning all of whom at once united In the effurt to disclose to the world that the time had come to stamp out uutit' racy and hold forth the light of lib erty for the world. This editor's in ability to find satisfaction in the Pres ident's fourteen principles of peace, is incerely to be u matter of regret, since his editorial seta forth the an nouncement that his paper has stood for and proclaimed the doctrine that the war must end only with thrones toppled, with dynasties destroyed, with the plain people enthroned, with re publics," etc. All of which is trans piring to the gratification of the world wt largo since it upholds the structure of peace settlement based upon Pres ident Wilson's fourteen conditions. This editor prints a map alongside his editorial depicting the centers of new nations of peoples long held in auto cratic bondage, now blooming into the fint flush of freedom, which should afford eufflcient surceaio to any mis givings be may have. His map shows near Vienna, in Austria, the city of Wilsonstadt, formerly Preaburg, but renamed in honor of President Wilson, in commemoration of ail that America haB done and is doing for the cauia of Dcmoracy. . So far as known up to date, not an Athena boy's name in the casualty list 1 Can you conscientiously take part in the great Thanksgiving service Sun day evening, if you have failed in giv ing liberally to the War Works fund for their recreation and moral uplift, while they are finishing up their great work" Health note Not one of the kai ser's six sons Is suffering from shell shock. Not n few persons might conserve sugar by developing a little sweeter deposition. At Inst accounts the squnsh pie ad vance wus being maintained on all fronts. News that there Is no shortage of Ice Cream may be depressing to some men with small children. Most people are wearing their old clothes this year, hut the more fortu nate should remember the Belgians. "Potatoes are going up," according to a news headline which Is ns enlighten ing as suylng "water Is wet." People along the German border are beginning to realize that a long-range gun has two ends. Adverting to epidemics, German Junkers are suffering from shooting puins around the heart. As soon ns n man achieves fame, some former friend digs up a boy liood photograph. The army also Is teaching some young men that they do not have to wait until Saturday night to bathe. The only fellows who really com plain about the autoless Sunday are the ones who do not own cars. Spanish Influenza Is bad enough, but It Is better than German measles, at that, being n neutral disease. Film comedy should not suffer on ac count of war demands, no sugar being required for comedy pies. American football players In France are showing nil their old skill In buck ing the Ulndenbarg line. War conditions have dlscour.nged the confident claims, usually due this sen son, ns to who will ttiko next year's pennant. Have you noticed that Just ns soon ns the gnsless Sunday rolls around the weather reforms aud puts out Its brightest sun? When a man celebrates his birth day he tnkes a day off. When a worn tin experiences n similar happening she (ukes n year off her age. Now the forty-flve-yenr old patriot begins to renlizc the deep, boundless enthusiasm of the revivified ctib horse on u gusless Sunday.' Now Hint the government bus under taken to fix: n maximum price for but ter the flapjack is able to sit up and take a little nourishment. American soldiers are snld by the Australians to b "too rough." That's what comes from permitting the boys to plgy football. It mil y be hard, however, for the gov ernment to be very severe with nble bodled fellows who fall to apply for ex emption when they are entitled to It. Since people with colds arc unwel come a( the picture theaters, ninny persons are going to take measures to improve their health. One slight element of expense Is the hiuvy coat of widely circulated ex 1 lunmlrms ot why food cannot be cheap', The laws enacted In the Inst few curs have established n fine alibi for Ihi olnl-fashloned common drinking cup In tin? present Influent epidemic. "Crooking the elbow" now has a dif ferent significance. Ask the army or navy olllcer who must salute some one every oilier minute. It mnj Just be a coincidence that "Spaulsli" Influenza Is so much more prcvnleni In army camps thnn else where, a oil It also might be that some enemy a gents have been busy. Japan has made a proclamation to the peon of a Siberian district that anybody who causes disorder will be promptly gounlshed. This is the kind ot peace nt Uiat means business.
