Some day that started out like any other day of the year there will be a different feel to the air; of a sudden the hillside maples have donned their alter garments and the woodland choirs are chanting dirges and vesper songs. And then along comes the first wind of autumn; it comes with hesitation, its hat in its hand, and draped in deepest gloom. It mourns through the night under the eaves, and rustles at dawn with a wail in the falling leaves. It doesn't have the howl of the win'.er wind, nor the gusty brazen defiance of the March bravo; he must be the tough lad of the wind family. No, the autumn wind seems old and creaky and full of woe.

America may have done a lot of slumbering before it aroused itself to its opportunites; it spent thre: generations conquering' a continent to live in, but the war's end will find it ready for a world-wide business and equipped for it besides. The American youth of tomorrow is going to have the greatest chance the world ever gave a son of Adam WHAT WE MI ST FIGHT FOR. Affecting as It does every conv munity, the Spanish influenza has be' come a matter of universal concern second only to the war. Is it some thing new or' simply la grippe of 1890 in more virulent and epidemic form, and what has caused It, While the causative organism of the dis ease, according to medical journals, remains a matter of dispute, it sweeps on unchecked, Doctors are not agreed as to the best treatment, but facts are established that all people should know. The infection is carried through mouth and nose. Everyone in a public place who is compelled to cough, sneeze or expectorate should do it in the handkerchief. This will 'check tie SDread of the disease If cold is taken the simplest precautions should be followed until a physician is secured. The bowels should be kept open, the patient should be put to bed and every precaution used to prevent a chill, while the diet should . be light and fresh air abundant. Alcoholic stimulants should be avoid ed. If these simple directions are followed and pneumonia does not de velop, the prospects of a rapid re. covery are good, but if pneumonia supervenes, not frequently the case if care is exercised, the matter Is more serious. By the observance of good general hygiene the power of the body's re. Kistance should be kept up, for it is lowered resistance that makes one susceptible to the disease. The pa triotic response to the Fuel Adminis tration's request to save coal, result ing in leaving homes and schools without heat during the cold, rainy days of late September and early October, caused thousands of colds. With resistance thus weakened many succumbed to the germ when brought into contact with it in crowded cars and oth'-r public places. The Anthracite News points out that many Pennsylvania collieries have had to close down because of influenza, which Is cutting down the monthly output of anthracite by over one million tons. Under war con ditions this is a great loss, but it is nevertheless poor economy if the saving of fuel in homes and schools is in effect adding fuel for the spread of the epidemic. i Dr. Karl Peters is dead, and the Kaiser sent a personal representative to lay a wreath upon his grave. It is not altogether clear why William the Damned went to that trouble; whether because of Peter's annexa tion of Kast Africa to Germany's colonial empire, or because of the outrages, tortures and murders which Peten), through Bexual de generacy, inflicted upon helping natives, and wnlch caused him to be dismissed from the Imperial service in disgrace. After what the Kaiser has sanctioned and ordered in Bel gium and France, we rather incline 1 the latter cause. The wreath was Ex-Premier Asquith touched the fundamental issue of the war when he said our main objective is "to destroy Prussian militarism." The ousting of the Hohenzollern is not the main purpose but only a corol. lary of it. The corner-stone of the Hohenzollern is, and has always been, militarism. The power of the Hohenzollern can be swept away only by destroying the foundations on which it rests The world will not be "safe for democracy" if militarism remains undestroyed, and militarism will not be destroyed by an exchange of notes with Berlin. The thing that started Germany on her peace drive was not the Internal political situation, but the many weeks of steady defeats Marshal Foch has administered to the armies. The best answer to her hypocritical and unrepentant appeals for peace is the drive on the western front. The German army must be smashed to smithereens. Marshal Foch can do it, if we give him time and back him up. When the German army is completely defeated and forced to an unconditional surrender. when the German people have been convinced that militarism has led them to destruction instead of to "a place in the sun," the Hohenzollern will go of necessity. On this clear ground a German democracy may be erected. Let us not becloud the Issue: We are not fighting for anything else than as Mr. Assuith says, "to destroy Prussian militarism." When that has been destroyed, no Kaiser will have the despotic power to order out, at 24 hours' notice, an army of ten millions to fight for something they know nothing about. Leslie's. THE "WAR LORDS" END The fall of the kaiser, Emperor William Hot Germany brings to the close a reign that began on June 15, 1888, upon the death oi tne men emperor, Frederick III, father of the kaiser who has abdicated. Fred erick III reigned for but three months. He took the throne upon the death of his father William 1, who had been proclaimed German emperor at Versailles, France, at the close of the German victory over France in the Franco-Prussian war. William I had become king of Prussia in 1861 upon the death of his elder brother, Frederick William IV who was childless. William I was born in 1797 and consequently was 64 years of age on becoming king and was not made emperor until 10 years later, at the age of 74 William I gained great correct. In 1878 an attempt was made I drews of this place. upon the life of the then Emperor j William I by an assassin.

In a conversation between Grant and Bismarck the latter is re ported as having said of William I; "He is quite distinguished from those born in so high a position, at least most of them. You know that people of his rank, born in the purple, come to believe themselves different from their fellow creatures. They attach little importance to the wishes and feelings of others." Ten years later when William II ook the throne the words of Bis marck to Grant came true when the new kaiser humbled the Iron Chan :elor by so depriving him of power :hat Bismarck resigned up. It looks now like the delinquent list would be very small. WE WANT SALES REPRESENTA TIVES IN EVERY TOWN IN OREGON.

The island was .ccured through treaty with Eng land and in compensation England was given the German consent to an English protectorate over Zanzibar. The kaiser has always been known as a man ot almost insane egotism. He evidently dreamed from the start of world domination and doubtless he acquiring of Heligoland was one of the first steps in the program that has finally been the complete un doing of Germany and the downfall of the kaiser. E. O. ' PEACE WITH VICTORY. Peace Is at hand! Peace WITH victory. Peace that proves Americans are NOT to proud to fight when the in terests and rights and ideals of the republic are at stake. The stone which the builders re jected has become the chief corner stone of the temple. The boys over there and the people over here have proved to the world that the spirit of '76 and '61 and '98 Is not dead, but that it lives in a determination for unconditional surrender ot an enemy whose brutal might was a menace to the world. They were for peace ONLY with victory, -and in this government of the people they have had their way! If this war had ended with this nation neutral, a triumphant mili tarism would have made the Ameri can people understand that the causes and consequences of this war DID tonch us. Unprepared despite the clamor of "anxious souls" we would have paid in blood and treas ure the price of disastrous and dis graceful defeat at the hands of a swollen power, with the wealth and resources of the rest of the world at its disposal. And if Americans HAD been too proud to fight, the name of the land of Washington and Lincoln would have gone down to perpetual dis grace. Today It grows with a new luster, and no one longer doubts the power of the great republic to hold its own with any foe on any field of conflict. To the men in the uniform of the republic, marshalled beneath its flag, the people of America owe an un dying debt of gratitude. Their's is the chief glory of the hour. In their hands largely rests the future of the republic in whose behalf they have offered the patriot's full measure of devotion. But to every American of all the millions, whose heart has loyally followed the flag in this heroic epoch in the nation's life; to every citizen however high or humble, comes a share of the credit and a part of the glory that is the republic's. Now, as never before in history, the world s highest title of nobility lies in the words: "I am an American citizen. The victory has cost the nation little in blood. The cost in treasure the struggle has entailed is as noth ing compared to what it has bought; the respect and admiration of tho world; the revival of the old Ameri can spirit of devotion to the Hag and the institutions for which it stands; the raising of a new and higher ideal of service and coopera tion and comradship in American citizenship which will impress Hself deeply upon the future of the na tion; the knowledge that ours is above all a republic of ideals deeply believed in and bravely maintained. nullity.
