ITiaracteriiing the German war ma chine as the most barbarous, treacher ous, atrocious, cowardly army the v.otld has ever kuon, Lieutenaut t'oloml J. M. McMillan. Major F. II. I.il.irds and I aplain E. J. fiook, of ficers of the Canadian army, las i.ight poke on the war before the largest patriotic meeting ever held in this nil. The armory was inadequate to hold the crowd, which numbered over .i.isd people, and the First Pres byterian church and the Baptist church were ofiened for the overflow. Fully IK" people were at the Pres byterian and alwut yw were at the llaptivt church. The armory held about lea at. Hundreds came from all over I. inn county. It was an awakening to the se riotisness of the war to the prople oi this section, and the three officers accomplished their work well. The speakers brought out the necessity for every man, women and child's do ing everything possible to support the government in every way from lend ing moral support to nuking personal sacrifices and economising in food consumption on various articles. 'The meeting was prrsided over by Krrd Dawson, who introduced each speaker. Itruce Dennis, chairman of the State Council of Defense, opened the meeting by stating the object of brining the officers to Oregon. A choir under the direction of Prof. C. II. Palmer sang several patriotic airs in a pleasing manner. Captain Gook'a Talk Captain E. J. Gook, of the Seventh Canadian battalion of the first expe ditionary forces, was the first speak er. He enlisted the day war was de clared. August 4, 1914, and about six months later was at the front in Flan ders. He aaid in part: "This was not planned in a day nor did it spring up apontaneotisly The tternians had been preparing for it since 1K7.1 and had perfected the greatest war machine the world ever saw. The French and British were not prepared in the early days of the war and made many great sacrifices. I saw all of the horrible means that Germany is using to win the war by fair means or foul. I waa at Yprea w.hen the first gas attack, the first great treachery of the war, was used When the Germans found .that they couldn't break through F.ngland'a 'conte'mptible little army' they em ployed poison gas, which turnt the lung to liquid and the victim coughs his lungs up in hits, living about two days after the attack. We are now prepared to combat thia evil. Belgian AttrocitJes "The Belgian attrocitiea are1 another example of the manner of conducting the war. At first I took the stories I heard skeptically, thinking that there' micht be some barbarians even in the hrst of armies. But from the wholesale evidence and aighta I saw with my own eyes, I had to conclude that it wasn't the work of the indi vidual, but of the1 system. "Our army was composed of tough hard men from the West, men from the United States and all along the coast. We were canmed at Salisbury Hains in England on our way over and there1 we saw a Bcljiian girl with one arm cut off sabred by a German officer as she was handing him glass of water. Kvery man in the regiment then took an oath to make every German suffer that we could. And we did. Attrocilies are a part of their program, "Another manner the Germans have their wilful waste.

This does not help win the war. It is not individual de struction but the plan of the army. An example of the power of the Ger man army was told to me by a titled Belgian woman. who met a German officer in a streetcar in Brussels. She had met him in Germany before the war but did not speak to him. Two days later snc was arrested without a statement of any cause.

MARY PICKFORD PLEASES AT THE GLOBE THEATRE As an attraction extraordinary the Globe theatre presents Mary Pickford a new Artcraft picture, "A Ro mance of the Redwoods," staged un der the personal direction of Cecil B. De Mille. A Western subject of full-blooded. dramatic action, the new Pickford ve hicle presents "Little Mary" in a role that is entirely dit'ferent from any thing in which she has ever appeared on the screen. The story waa written by Mr. DeMille himself in collabo ration with Jennie Macpherson and discloses a wealth of typical Pickford incidents of heart appeal The set tings are ol the days ot w uurmg the time of the big gold rush. Mary Pickford. as Jenny Lawrence, a little New England miss, journeys to the West in search of her only relative. an uncle. Before she is aware of it ihr falls in love and as a result, be comes enmeshed in serious complica tions. Various clever twists to the story afford surprise that add greatly to the general merit of the picture. 'IV Romance of the Redwoods' link together the arts of two of the greatest notables in screenland. Mary Pickford and Cecil De Mille. The talents of either one used in connec tion with the production ol" a photo play would mean a subject of merit. SIX AMERICAN SAILORS ARE KILLED WASHINGTON, Jan. 17. (f. P.)
