' One hundred years before Christ
300,000 Germans invaded France,
murdering, burning, pillaging as
they went. At Aix-en-Provence they
were stopped and defeated. They
sued for peace and swore they wouli
nevei do it again. Sixty years after
ward 240,000 Germans invaded the
Jura district of France. Six years
later 400,000 Germans invaded the
territory between the Meuse and the
Oise. They were beaten. They
swore they would never do it again
Sixty years before Christ the Ger
mans invaded the left bank of the
Rhine. Two hundred and thirty
years after Christ the Germans in
vaded France. They were beaten.
They swore they would never do it
again. Twenty years later in another
invasion, another defeat, another sol
emn pledge "never again." In 274
A. D. the Rhone basin was invaded
by the Germans; in 275 Northeast
ern France. In 301 Langres was pil
laged. The invaders were beaten
and they swore "never again." In
351 they reconquered the left bank
of the Rhine. In 354 they devas
tated Lyons, in 360 Besacon. In
364 they invaded and plundered Bel
gium. Here is the chronology of the sub
sequent invasions: 372, 382, 400.
410, 413, 800, 858, 978, 1124, 1214,
1513, 1521, 1523, 1536, 1544, 1552,
1553, 1567, 1569, 1576, 1587, 1636,
1674, 1675, 1707, 1708, 1744, 1792,
1793, 1814, 1815,'1870, 1914. Thirty-
three invasions in a little over fif
teen hundred years, an average of
one invasion every fifty years,
Whenever they were successful,
the Germans celebrated with un-
speakable atrocities. Whenever they
were beaten they swore they would
never do it again.
Le Matin, which prints the
above statistics, recalls that three
days before the outbreak of the
world war, Herr Haase, the German
Socialist leader, solemnly declared
at Brussels that the German pro-
letanat would oppose war to the
utmost. Three days later Herr
Haase -voted for the war budget,
Four and a half years ago, the
Germans again invaded France.
Again they were beaten. And now
they swear they will never do it
again. N. Y. Tribune.
Gen. March, chief of staff, has
written a letter to Senator Chamber
lain of the military offairs com
mittee, quoting Gen. Pershing as
authority for declarations that firing
along the American lines did not
continue after 1 1 o'clock on the day
of the armistice, and that American
soldiers were not needlessly sacri
ficed after the armistice was agreed
to. Gen. Pershing says that it was
necessary to keep firing up to the
hour of the armistice and that Gen.
Foch, the allied cimmander in chief,
had issued orders to that effect.
SECOXl) LARGEST WOOL CENT tilt
It is not generally known that
Portland, Oregon, is the second
largest wool center in the United
States, Boston only exceeding it in
record of sales.
Wool growing should become one
of the greatest industries in Pacific
..coast states as natural conditions
are favorable in this section
Breeders ot sneep are paying
much more attention to handling
their flocks with the result that wool
in this territory compares favorably
witn the best grown elsewhere
With the development of wool
growing comes manufacturing of
woolen goods and there is no reason
why Western states in a short time
should no t be manufacturing as
fine fabrics as can be made.
Raise the wool and manufacturing
will come. Modern warehouses
grade the wool in some thirty odd
varieties so that the farmer gets
every penny there is in it and he has
every incentive to increase his
flocks. Manufacturer.
A REPUBLICAN PROGRAM,
There is need of a far-reaching
program of reconstruction of the
tariff system to readjust this coun

ot
surrender of all economic barriers
to foreign goods seeking to enter
our markets. They niusi nave some
thing to propose as a substitute ana
it must be well thought out, too, it
it is to stand the test of public dis
cussion and Democratic riddling.
The military problems facing th:
country demand far more than a
mere bill to regulate courts martial
We are facing the necessity of some
sort of military training for young
Americans. We have had two years
of war in which to think out a pro
gram. What is the Republican pro
gram to be? Thought on that sub
ject will be far more profitable than
rr.ire factidnalism.
It will not do to return, the rail
roads to private owners, with all the
old handicaps and evils of private
management. What is the Republi
can -program for the avoiding of
those ills?
We have tremendous labor prob
lems in connection with immigration
questions. What is to be the solu
tion of those problems? What of
conservation of natural resources?

WITH LIBERTY MOTORS.
In its long flight across the At
lantic the NC-4 flew more than 3000
miles, the longest hop being 1200
miles from Newfoundland to the
Azores. It was a navy affair, not
a private adventure. Therefore the
game was played safe as it should
have been. Along the rodte a des
troyer was stationed every 50 miles
to serve as a guide post and to
rescue the aviators should they
meet trouble. As guides the des
troyers were doubtless of value but
as rescue. ships they did nothing.
The NC-4 did not make use of them
nor the One and Three both of
which .had trouble in the fog off the
Azores. The One was rescued by
the ship Iona and the Three made
port under its own power.
The feat of the NC-4 establishes
the first record for a transoceanic
flight. It was a great triumph at
testing not merely the skill and
valor of our men but likewise the
qualities of the Liberty motor with
which the seaplanes are equipped.
Hawker ha'd a Rolls-Royce motor,
which has been classed as the best
in the world though a hand made
motor and therefore not suited to
quantity production. Yet Hawker
With a lighter airplane did not fly as
far as did our seaplanes on the
flight to the Azores. The results
speak for themselves. E. O.

MESSAGE REASSURING.
The President's message to the
66th Congress offered much encour
agement to business and industry.
He served notice that railroads
should be returned to owners by
Dec. 31 this year and that telephone
and telegraph lines be returned soon
as possible without administrative
confusion.
Among other things of great in
terest to the people he suggests tax
on retail sales should be dis
continued and urges Congress to un
dertake early reconsideration of
federal taxes in order that they
shall rest as lightly as possible on
productive resources.
He says that very stimulating con
ditions await our commerce ant' in-
dustral enterprise but that the
question which stands at the front of
all others is labor.
The solution lies, so the President
believes, in voluntary co-operation
of capitalist, manager and workman.
In this direction legislation can do
but little. It must depend upon the
newer spirit and policy already
becoming manifested in industry
where the order of the day is me
diation and conciliation in place of
strikes and lock-outs.
The message is reassuring to in
dustry and workmen alike.
The Victiry Liberty Loan was
over-subscribed by tnree-fourths of
a billion dollars, according to official
figures made public by the Treasury
Department. Subscriptions to the
Victory Liberty Loan amounted to
$5,249,908,000, an oversubscription
of $749,908,300, orl6.66 per cent.
Nearly 60 .per cent of the loan, or
$2,663,154,850, was taken by those
who subscribed for not in excess of
$10,000 each.

wounded and has spent a long time
in the hospital but is now well on the

Chas. Johnson came up from
Huntington Beach, Calif., the past
week and is preparing to move His
household effects from his former

Merrill Doble, extensive horticul
turist of Irrigon. came over from his
city Wednesday to deliver the ballot
box at the court house. While here
Mr. Doble took up road matters with
the county court and received the as
surance that his part of the county
would receive proper attention and
have some much-needed road work
completed this winter, at which time
only, it is profitable to stir up the
sand. What work is done down that
way will be on a permanent basis, the
court spending sufficient funds there
to cover the roads with gravel or
crushed rock so that they will hold.
Mr. Doble feels that his district will
stand for a strong tax to raise funds
to assist in the road program.
