GLAD OF SUPPLIES In th first news letter received by the Soldiers' auxiliary from Captain Vanee, under date of August 5, he B8.VK : "The eainp has sturted off very satisfactorily, and every one is more than satisfied. It is quite, cool 'at night, but we all have stoves in our tents. Every evening until tattoo the boyg are playing and sinsinjr in tlie various tents, or having their games. It would be hard to find a more happy or satisfied bunch of boys anywhere, a condition which, to a (rreat extent, has been brought about by the thoughtfulness of the noble women of the auxiliary nt home. Your little remembrances were distributed to tho boys a few days ago, ami not a few tears were to be seen in their eyes as each name was called and the recipient steped forward to receive tho token of your thoughtfulness for our welfare. Any effort you may have made in preparing all the little kindnesses would have been repaid many times over if you all could have seen the happy countenances of the boys ns they opened their packages of good things you had sent to them. "I did not distribute the things on the train, as from experience in Ihe past I havo found that the first day or two away from home is the time to look after tho 'tummies' of the boys with tho most careful diligence, and it is always best to keep candies and cookies away from them at that time. But tho delay made it all the more appreciated, as it brought hack a remembrance of home ami loved ones in the midst of our military preparations with double force. "We will always think of you nnd your thoughtfulness for our welfare, and wish for you nil that vou desire for ns." WITH HANDS CUT OFF I. Rloss, n well-known eonimrreiii' traveler slmipitur nt the Hotel Hol land, saw two children victims of the cruelty of Oermnn soldiers in Klam ath Kails three weeks ago. They wore girls aged 4 years, who were ent to this country for adoption iiihI were adopted by a wealthy resident of Klumath Kails. The right hand of each girl was cut off nt the wrist, in accordance with the ulleged edict of the German commander of the town in which they lived to thus mutilate all the boy and girls there so that they could nut shoot, firearms. "When my wile and 1 looked at thohc two Kior mutilated girls," said Blos-i, "wo wondered how long the rest of tho world is going to permit mich inhuman biirhunly.

The result of the seditious obstructions of Senator Gore are shown in his state, Oklahoma, where the ijrnor ant tenant farmers, halfhreeds and negroes have taken him literally and proceeded to follow his preaching ly armed revolt against the United States. It is doubtful whether the actions of these deluded men, who know no better, is as culpable as the actions of their senator, who does know better. Food conservation and every step thru the senate, ilege and tlie triends ot the power, securing long weeks speculators, costly to the people and invaluable to the en emy. The bill has been delayed and emasculated in ordei that food gamblers might secure control of this vear'i crops, send prices skyward the nation. The public does not yet trol measure will be passed pel the passage ol some such vain to its representatives at relief has not been forthcoming. "Whether or not the measure to be enacted will grant needed relief will be for the president to say. If it forthcoming, and with it a posure of those responsible and an insistance that congress pass an adequate bill.

UhKAKI) is publishing m the larger papers of the count rv a historv of his four veal's its American ambassador to Germany, detailing in the initial chapters the forcing of the war bv Germanv and in his foreword warning America to wake up and fight lest the nation face destruction. Mr. Gerard is the best qualified man in America to speak, and his words should receive careful attention and his advice followed. He declares that the military and naval power of the German empire is unbroken; that Germany still has "f),0X),X)0 effectives under arms," and is replacing looses at the rate of -100,000 a year; that "Germany will not break under starvation or make peace because of revolution"; that the " U-boat peril is a very real one for England", and that the German people will fight to the end, lest their country be destroyed in case of defeat, lured by the prom ise of world dominion if victorious. He declares: Wo stand In groat peril, ami only tho exerclso of ruthless realism can win this war for us. If (iernuiny wins this war It means the triumph of tho autocratic system. It means triumph of those who believe not only In war us a national industry, not only in war for Itself, but in war as a high and noblo occupation, t'liless Ccrnnuny Is beaten every nation will be compell ed to turn Itself Into an armed camp until the (ieruinn autocracy either brings tho whole world under its dominion, or forever Is wiped out as a form of government. Our occupation is not to debate and talk, not to discuss dreams of peace, but to fight. As Mr. Gerard says: "There arc too many thinkers, writers and speakers in the United States; from now on we need the doers, the organ izers and the realists, who alone can win this contest for us, for democracv and for permanent peace." We know what we arc fighting for, the preservation of democracy, the defense ot the nation, the rights ot human ity. All the latent power and wealth and energy of the nation must be mobilized for a victorious war and when victory is secured it will be time to prattle of peace, for as (liarles Kdward Uusscll. says: "America is in peril, and no question is worthy of consideration until we settle the quest ion whether democracy shall live."

While no official news is yet avail able on the subject, from letters re ceived in the city from various mem bers of the company, it is evident that eleven members were rejected at the physical examination by army surgeons.

The J Tillamook company of artillery will be stationed at Fort Columbia with the Seventh company. The Portland.

A letter was received in tlie city yesterday by Oliver Davidson from Kirst Duty Serjeant Lyle Purdin of the Seventh company contamini: news of interc.-t about the company as wollows : Xo Complaints on Food, ''We arrived in the fort Monday niorninir all riit. with the boys in the best of spirits.

Arrangements will proba bly be made for showing the films In other towns in the valley also: the in come from all exhibitions will be de voted to the company mess fund, and the expectation is that a handsome sum will be realized for the purpose every month. In this connection, it is interesting (to know that the public-spirited citi zens of Marshfield have provided a fund for the Kleventh company of the coast artillery corps which will pro vide their company mess fund with regular monthly installments of four hundred dollars while they are in service. It is Mcdford's main purpose to maintain a mess fund for the Sev enth company, sufficient to provide for the many wants w hich are not cov ered by the government's Issues. The -Marshfield company's mess fund may look big in a lump sum, tint, dividrd among one hundred and nine men, it amount to less than four dollars per month each, which is certainly not too liberal a contribution from the home folks toward the comfort and necessi ties or tho loyal boys who have pledg ed life itself to the service of our country. The auxiliary counts upon the hearty support of the whole com munity in its undertaking for the wel fare of the Seventh company. Captain Vanee, in a letter giving bis approval of the projocl says: "Your letter was duly received and read to the company yesterday at in spection. You may be sure tint it was received with shouts of approval by every man of tho company. We will he delighted to make the movie films for the auxiliary, and believe we can get some very intercsllng views for exhibition in Medford.
