ON THE VERGE OF WAR Till' (icniian nolo lirus(iicy announcing tin resump tion of hrntal, ruthless submarine warfare, utter dis regard of international law and defiance of the rights of neutrals for the avowed purpose of slaughter and starva tion cannot mean other than, sooner or later, a severance of diplomatic relations by the L'nited States. Knowledge that the note was coming explains the president's extraor dinary efforts to promote pea.ee and A'erifies Secretary Lansing's statement that the nation stood on the verge of war. Germany is bound by no scruples in lier struggle to win the worldwide war. She has never shown the slightest regard for the rights of other nations. Her violation of l'elgiuni was an index to her that stood m the way of her rapacity, tier only reason for heeding tlx; protest of the United States and agreeing to conduct warfare at sea according to Hit! rules of interna tional law, as is now frankly admitted, was a shortage in .submarines; her peace palaver and friendship twaddle simply to throw the world off strike. The Prussian .jugger aims efliciencv in Avar consists in struct ion. 11c is sacrificing the nation upon the altar of its own efficiency- and triumph spoils the doom of democ racy and. the victory of a feudalized, imperialistic, enslaved socialism. ' The United Stales has made all the concessions to Oer many that self-respect permits, and all have been, in vain. Peace set-u red at the price of compliance with such coercion is not worth the cost. Conditions imposed in Ger many's insolent defiance are impossible. Germany's course is without justification in law or morality but the entire German policy has been along the same lines. ! he dav of. "strict accountability ' has ar rived and on the first loss of violation of German pledges, has long conspired against the should be given his passports. DOOM OF NATIONALISM A undercurrent of anti-national sentiment, which has tV been reported frequently of late in the countries of central jnropo, has bniken out nation most grievously al reeled by the war. This is indicated by the receipt from Christiania of a Iract entitled, "Commonweal of a Dav to Come," written by G.Th. .Me.jdell. "To universal civilization jlejilell begins. "J I' on the battlefield hosls of men are hilled in their prime of youlh; if families ers, parents of their sons . or wounded are to be counted thousands . . . trillcs! "In this time of war human lives are valued nothing more than hugs or 1 lies, monumental works ol human skill are swept awav as if cobweb "And the protagonists in who assert to themselves that they believe m a religion said to Ik; the message of peace and neighbor-love. "The tragedy transcends into a gashing travesty. "The ravens, attracted by the smell of carcass, have crowded and are croaking, 1 think, a little, too early. "It is not true that the modern civilization is tottering to its fall. The modern civilization, itself, is hale and strong. Hut; the remnant of a decaying past is the noxious ferment, the bacteria of disease. The foe to universal civ ilization will you know his nanio? His name, the arch fiend's name, is nationalism. "International peace cannot be secured until the na tions have been obliged to pay allegiance to international jurisdiction. "The great states is the source from which the mischief iconics. I lie great states are militarism does not change her creed by pcaee-apostles being sent abroad to deliver edifying sermons. The mod ern military institutions are not "of tin: kind that they, as the walls of Jericho, do fall into dust by blasts of bassoon. "States are no longer isolated spheres with vacuum around them. Germany has grossly deluded herself. "Nor is Great Hritain in all her colonial splendor the omnipotent ruler of the earth. "Hacked by science and technique, industrial activity in all its modes and all its branches, developing and eradi cating through all the zones of the orb is nowadays the sovereign of the world. "That sovereign cannot and will not, when one day he becomes eogni.ant of the range of his puissance, suffer to be thwarted, insulted, twitted ami worried with the tussles and quarrels of tribes and states or their bumptious freaks and frets."

The German freighter Llebenfcls of tho Ilansa line, tied up here sinco the beginning of tho war, began sinking slowly at fi o'clock this morn ing and marine men believed she had been scuttled. This belief seemed lo be borne out by tho fact that the captain declined the aid or tugs. In an hour the vessel's bow was high In tho water and the stern tvns gradually settling but Captain Klal tenholf with five or six officers still were aboard. The crew of I.ascars were sent to their homes -soon after the vessel tied up hero at the out break of the war. The steamer which is of 2S"0 tons gross, is anchored in between forty and fifty feet of water about half a mile from the oily water front. ASK OREGON 10 KILL ALIEN LAND BILL WASHINGTON, Fvh. 1.

The wheat market broke an extreme 15 1-Sc at the opening today under the In fluence of the German submarine note. iCom, oats and provisions also slumped severely." Tho trading pits on the board of trade and the crowd ed customers rooms of the brok erage houses were scenes of great ex citement. A nrominent house with au in fluential German clientele was an ob ject of envy among speculators who asserted that customers of this firm had been selling short for ten days with an apparent certainty of their nosition. If true, it was said that their profits on the break will be enormous as the break today follows a decline of 13 cents in wheat dur ing the last week. A- week ago May wheat closed at $1.84; a bushel, l-ast night it closed at $1.71. The first quota tion this morning was posted as $1.60 but when the ticker clerks were able to check ud on what ac tually happened in the midst of the nandemonium it was found that op ening figures ranged from $1.63 to $l.fiti. July wheat, which closed yes terday at $1.46 to $1.46, opened with sales from $1.40 to $1.36. On the break henw nurchnses were made, supposedly for the account of the biy; shorts, who were embracing the moment to take their profits. Quotations jumped 1 and 2 cents without a break. .May shot up to l.li-t and July to $1.41. .May com oponed to 4e un der last night at 07 to 9.V May onts were off 2 lo .Vv'je at f3 to dDV-i. Net declines in wheat todav on the German note ranizcd from 4Vs for September options to 8 cents for May at the cIom. The market touched its lowest at the opening, and final fig ures were from J:!4 cents over the lowest for September to 7'' for May. SALEM, Feb. 1. It is hard to keep the Hogue river fish fight out of the house proceedings. It cropped out on the committee report on itep resentative Peck's hill to repeal the law of the 191 j session, prohibiting tlie sale of fish taken from the.Flor es river in Coos and Curry counties. Tho committee, as tho fisheries com mittee usually is, was divided. On the question of passing tho bill to third reading. Peck and Itepresenta tive Thomas engaged In a verbal clash. "Aren't you attorney for Roderick Macleay and doesn't Mucleay operate a cannery in Coos county " demand ed Thomas. "I am not retained by Macleay," declared Peck, "but the firm of whicn I am a member has done business for him, the same as we aro ready to do business for other clients." He said the bill had been intro duced at the request of John Neil son, an enemy of Macleay, "And now let me a.sk you a ques tiou," demanded Peck, turning to Thomas. "Didn't you go to the sportsmen's meeting at Portland at the expense of tho Rod and Gund club of Jackson county to oppose the Macleay interests?" Thomas said that he went to Port land as the representative of the pooplo of Jackson, Josephine and Curry counties, and that he paid his own expeuses. Eczema Is Conquered Greasy salves and ointments should not be applied if good clear skin is wanted. From any druggist for 25c or SI .00 for extra large size, pet a bottle of zemo. When applied as directed, it effectively removes eczema, quickly stops itching, and heals skin troubles, also sores, burns, wounds and clufuiK. it penetrates, cleanses and soothes. Zcmo is a clean, dependable and inex pensive, penetrating, antiseptic liquid. Try it, as we believe nothing you have ever used is as effective and satisfying. Tan .'. W, Loss Co..

For Catarrhal Deafness and Mead Noises Here in America there is mur Buffering from catarrh and hean noises. American peoplo would do well to consider the method employ ed by the English to combat this in sldious disease. Everyone know how damp the English climate and how dampness affects those su ferine; from catarrh. In Englanc they treat catarrhal diseases am head noises as a constitutional dls- case and use an internal remedy for it that is really very efficacious. 4 Sufferers who could scarcely hearr have had their hearing restored bA this English treatment to such an ex- tent that the tick of a watch wasji plainly audible seven and eight inchi . es away from either ear. Therefore, if you know someone who is troubled with catarrh, ca tarrhal deafness or head noises, cut out this formula and hand it to them and you may havo been the means of savins some poor sufferer per haps from total deafness. The pre scription can be oasily prepared Ht home for about 7 jc and is made aa follows: From your druggist obtain 1 oz. of Parmint (Double Strength) about 7.'ic worth. Take this homo and add to It 1-4 pint of hot water and 4 ounces of granulated su&.ir: stir until dissolved. Take a table spoonful four times a day. Parmint is used in this way not. only to reduce by tonic action tho inflammation and swelling in tho Eu stachian Tubes, and thus lo equalize the air pressure on the drum, hut to correct any excess of secretions In the middle ear, and the results It gives aro usually remarkably quick and effective. i Every person who has catarrh in ' any form should give this recipe a trial. , , Heath's Drug Store, Strang's Drug store, Medford Pharmacy, West Side Pharmacy, Hasklns' Drug Store, will supply you.
