M. A. RADISH.
THE GERMAN JINX.
HAZE surrounds Germany'. The censorship bars
real news. But a few highly significant facts seem
well authenticated.
There was undoubtedly a move by the Catholic centrist
party and the socialists to force a program of peace With
out annexations and without indemnities. There was also
a well-night unanimous demand for universal manhood
suffrage in highly gerrymandered Prussia. There were
probably threats that the otherwise dominant reichstag
block would refuse war credits. ,
The kaiser came to Berlin in hot haste. He summon
ed Ilindenburg, the popular idol, and Lndendorff, the
brains of the military autocracy; then, as the demands
would affect Germany for all time, the crown prince.
The military machine does not want reform and it very
much desires peace, accompanied by annexations and huge
indemnities. The landed Prussian aristocracy agree?
And the crown prince is their principal spokesman.
As heir to the throne lie opposed his father's apparent will
ingness to yield. He lined up with the reactionaries and
demanded the head of Chancellor Bethmann-IIollvveg. He
won all along the line.
The chancellor was dismissed and a comparative non
entity was named, who can be depended upon to be a mere
figure-head. Reform goes by the board. Germany pro
claims its purpose to fight on for a victory the allies will
have to pav lor, both with lands and money.
This should stiffen their iron determination to pusl:
this war thru to the crushing of the German ruling class
The present kaiser, evil in influence, besotted with the
divine right mania, is at least a man of brains and ability
The crown prince seems to have neither.
He seems for years to have set himself in opposition to
his imperial father as all Hohcnzollern "heirs do. He
glorified in the wretched Zabern affair, where the military
cruelty set upon the civilian population of that Alsatian
town. He applauded attacks upon JJetnmann-Jlollweg,
lie lias made himself part and parcel of the gilded military
caste. . i i i ,
Hundreds of thousands of German soldiers have been
sacrificed to his vain desire to appear in history as the
conoiieror of Verdun. If he k in the ascendant now. it
means a fop and a fool has practically taken precedence
over a father with brains. It means a graver menace to
the allies, now and hereafter. It means this war must uot
end until Germany is beaten to her knees.

F
The first of a sorlos of mootliiRS
ns conducted by tho American Sunday
School Union, took placo at tho Hoeso
Crock School liouso on last Sunday,
July 22nd,
The morning hour was taltcn up
with talks from the superintendents
of the various Sunday schools, Inter
spersed with good singing. During
tho noon hour, from 12 to 1 o'clock,
whllo the good ladles and friends
wore making preparations for the din
ner, Missionary (1. C. Griffin culled n
mooting of all Iho teachers and super
intendents and nil thoHO Interested in
definite Sunday school work. During
tills hour, difficult, problems and
plans wore discussed and many suit
able suggestions offered. Tho now
book "Sunday School Touching and
Management" wns presented, and a
brief review of tho purpose nnd value
of this proposed study was given,
which rosulted In two schools pur
chasing books, with a view of estab
lishing study classes. Thero seemed
to be a unanimous opinion that the
only sucoessful method In drawing
people Into the Sunday school, Is that
of having good efficient teachers. '
The dinner hour was a most enjoy
ablo event. Hero the old and young,
rich and poor, united lu partaking of
tho bountiful dinner. A large flat
top hay rack was tho dinner table,
nnd never before did a hny rack ever
become burdened with so precious n
load, or ever unloaded In so graceful
a manner.
Tho good afternoon service was
made posslblo through tho kindness
of several Christian workers from
Medford. Mrs. toiler of the tlnptlH
church brought a carload, consisting
of Hov. F. W. C'arstens, II. 8. Htlno

PORTLAND, July 24. District
Forester Geo. H. Cecil, Portland,
Oregon, announces !!i,.t Hie inemhe'S
of the forest service in tho North
Pacific district, comprising 0rcsnn,
Washington and Alaska, will raise a
fund lo purchase tin ambulance for
military use.
'Considering Iho irreat need for
ambulances," says Mr. Cecil, "the
fact that ninny forest officers nre
enlisting for military service and that
sacrifices of life,, timo nnd money
are necessary until t lie war is over,
it is believed that the call for contri
butions will meet a quick nnd R"iier
ous response from the men and wo
men employed in the Portland office
and on the 27 national forests in the
district."
A dial liearine; a red cross and the
foresfc service shield and two movable
bands, has been installed on the bul
letin biuird at the district lieadiiuar-
iers to show graphically the progress
of the fund. One band indicates the
amount pledged, the other tho sum
actually pain in. .All contributions
are voluntary, and it is exported the
necessary amount will be raised by
September .1.
PORTLAND. Ore.. July 2-L Men
intending to claim exemption or dis
charire from the draft by reason of
their employment in certain neces
sary industries, including agricul
turft, must bear in mind that such
claims cannot bo made to the local
county exemption boards.
These local boards are strictly lor-
hidden, under the war department
regulations, from considering or iven
receiving such eluiius.
Instead, claims for exemption or
discharge on industrial grounds must
be presented to one of the district
boards inlhe state. In Oregon there
are three district boards, one nt
Portland, ono nt Eugene and one, nt
LaOrande.
Moreover, these claims cannot be
presented to the district board until
after the man drafted has been cnlh?d
before the local exemption board, has
passed his physical examination and
has been certified by the local board
as one who lins been called for pen'
ice and not exempted or discharged.
It is very important to remember
this procedure, if you plan to ask
for discharge on industrial grounds.
To sum up:
liciiiruilicr, first, you cannot make
such a claim until you have actually
been called up for draft.
And second, you cannot make it
then until the local board has fin
ished with you, has certified you nnd
posted your nnmc ns called for scrv
ice and not exempted or discharged.
Third, and very important, you
must then file your claim, not with
the local hoord, but with the district
board of the district in which you nrc
situated. You must file this claim
on a. blank form you may obtain by
application from the local board,
within five days of the copying anil
posting of your name by the local
board.
File your claim with the one of
following three district boards under
whose jurisdiction you nre registered:
District board No. 1, nt Portland,
comprises these counties: Multno
mah (outside of l'ortlnnd), City of
Portland, Clatsop, Tillamook, liim
hill, Washington, Marion, Jefferson,
Deschutes, Wasco, Hood Uiver,
Clackamas, nnd Columbia.
, District, board Jfb, 2,. at Eugene,
oomprises these j'onnties -Benton,
Coos, Curry, Douglas, Josephine,
Jackson, Lincoln, Linn, Lake, Lane,
Polk nnd Klamath. '
District board No. 3, located at La
Clrande, comprises these counties:
Harney, Malheur, Grant, Tinker, Vnl-
I lown, I'niori, Umatilla, Morrow. Oil-
hum, Sherman, Y heeler and Crook.

BOSTON', July 24. National
ccssity and moral pressure forced
Siain in to the war on the side of
the entente, in the opinion of Muhidol,
Prince of Songkln, brother of the
reigning king Vugiravudh. Neutrality
on the pnrt of this small nation in
the far east lias become increasingly
dificult, and there has been a growing
sentiment that freedom and justice
for states not strong from a military
standpoint were not to be secured
thru the policy of the central powers.
Sympathy for Belgium, that began
with the invasion of that country,
hud taken strong hold on the Siamese
and the popular aversion to Teutonic
methods, solidified by President Wil
sons' message, left no doubt as to the
duty, as well ns the path of expedi
ency, of Siain. The Prince of Song-
kla has just completed his first year
at Harvard. He said his views were
purely personal, and in no way offi
cial. The part that Siam will play
in the war will be insignificant, he
said. Germany, however, had more
to lose than the allies would have
hud if Siam had cast her lot with the
Teutonic powers, for Germany lost
her last important harbor of refuge
in the far east.
While convinced Hint Siam acted
wisely, the prince wns iiot elated be
cause he has very tender memories
both of the German royal family and
people.
"Let me say first of all," the prince
said, "that 1 am very sorry we nre
at war with Germany. I have studied
in that wonderful country, nnd was
a lieutenant in the (leramn navy. The
gratitude I still feel for many kind
nesses shall never pnss nnd I should
deeply regret it if valued friendships
which I formed should be broken by
war. I hate war and long for the
day of universal peace.
"Unhappily, war tor hiam, I nm
now sntislied, was lnevitnuic. we
must look to the future. In common
with other small nations, wc were
threatened by the Teutonic policy.
The popular wave of sympathy for
Belgium that swept over our country
when Belgium wns invaded was fol
lowed by a- sober second thought. If
Germany triumphed, what migut wc
expect?"
