Photographs of this money are printed as illustrations in his copyrighted narrative of his experiences as ambassador. i Persons returning from Germany eonfirm the report that German hate, formerly concentrated upon England, is now centered upon the United States, and an American is not safe from attack in German cities. : . ! The interference of England in behalf of the weaker nations spoiled the well-laid German plans for a brief con quest of Europe and overlordship of the world. Hence for months the hymn of hate was daily sung against the Brit ish. The participation of tho United States renders cer tain the eventual failure of German ambition, hence the vials of wrath poured upon Albion are . condensed upon America. . ' r This is in keeping with the chivalry and humanity the Germans have shown their enemies, which the kaiser brags about. We have had many instances of this ehiv' airy. It began early in the war my maiming Belgian and French children, murdering their parents, ravishing their f-istei's, deporting their men and women into slavery and burning their cities. It was 'continued by bombardments of defenseless towns, ot Zeppelin raids upon farming com munities, bv destruction of ocean liners at sea, thru sub marine warfare, by shelling of lifeboats, by poison gas, liquid fire and a thousand barbarities. Murder, rapine tho torch, famine and terrorism have been the instruments of the chivalrous supermen. German chivalry has not been confined to enemy na tions. Up to the time Germany forced America into the conflict by waging Avar against the United States by de stroying American life and property at home and on the sea, and by conspiring with other nations for the invasion ot the United States, Gorman chivalry had, without warn ing, sunk 849 ships of friendly neutral nations, with a ton nage of 1,653,654 tons. The list comprised 20 American ships, 76 Dutch ships, 10.1 Swedish ships, 436 Norwegian ships, 114 Uanisli snips, w fopanisli snips, I iirazuian ships, 60 Greek ships, and one ship each of Argentine, Peru and Uruguay. The only reason all these nations have not declared war upon (lermnay is because they are little and powerless against German might, and fear even to cease feeding Germany because of threats of German ruthlessness. This slaughter of innocents of every nationality, these tragedies of the sea, these murders of friends engaged in valiantly relieving German distress, guilty of no belliger ent acts; this universal impoverishment of the world which humanity will never forgive and history never forget, is an instance of German chivalry. Who wants the friendship of such a nation of moral monstrosities? There is nothing to gain from such friend ship. What self-respecting nation seeks it? It is indeed a compliment to be the bullseye of the target of German hate. But the realization that German autocracy is pray ing to God to strike down America, and the realization of what America's fate will be in case of German victory as a vassal nation, should stop the seditious tongues of the sissy pacifists who still claim to be Americans, and silence ihc sueuring snarls of the flunkeys of juggertum. Peace? There can be no peace for the world until au tocracy is beaten to its knees and the world made free for democracy to solve the problems of humanity and the menace of the mailed fist forever removed. GeiTnany's war is a war upon civilization, and the kaiser, still defiant uiiu urn cpciiuuii, iii iri iiu cu curs in i-uiuiici, as sun uias phemously and familiarly calling rtpon God to strike down democracy. Napoleon remarked that God was on the side that had Ihc biggest guns and the strongest armies and it is up to America to secure the Lord's assistance by meriting it in the field which we are going to do and instead of, like heathens, calling upon God to strike their enemies, Germans will be praying to llini to save Germany a Christian prayer. MULCTING THE FARMER MEDFORD. OTJEGON". TTTTTRSDAY. AFGFST 9. 1917 HOW TO HAVE A BEAUTIFUL NECK Tl 1 1' annual skinning of the farmers of the Rogue Uiver valley is in progress by grain and hay speculators. Wheat is selling in Portland as high as $2.40, and in east ern Oregon at $2,125 and upwards, and being sold here at $2. The crop of the nation is short, the war ha s created an abnormal demand and wheat will not fall below these fig ures. Yet the local farmers, who organize only to fight irrigation, which would benefit them, do not organize to build their own warehouses and elevators, to hold, fi:.,mce and market their own crops. , The Rogue River valley does not produce half enough grain to supply local demands. There is practically no grain, flour or feed shipped out. It is bought up after harvest at Portland prices, less the freight, held and resold later at Portland prices plus the freight. The farmer could have these profits, instead of the speculator or middleman. The wheat the fanner sells now will be resold later, with out moving out of the valley, for from $2.50 to $3.50. in 1910 we imported -IS cars of oats and barley, 432 cars of flour and milU'eed. n .1911, 23 cars of grain, 276 of flour and feed. In 1913, 40 ears of grain and 403 of 'lour and feed. In 191 1, 74 cars of grain and 4(53 of flour and feed. In 1915, 3t ears of grain and 413 of flour and feed, and a still greater quantity in 191(5, while the exports were negligible all of which proves that there is a home market for every kernel of grain raised. It is the same with hay. All hay growers should save their hay for local feeding. There is a shortage turnout the country. .11' the hay is sold to speculators or foreign purchasers, and sent out of the valley, hay td replace it will 1iave to be bought elsewhere and shipped in. If the hay leaves the valley, the livestock will be driven out to where it can be obtained and the industry be crippled. Let the fanners organize to market their own grain and hay and secure the profits now going to those who neither sow nor reap. The entire valley would profit, no oue more than the growers. f , .-vfV H-f ".v! J , ' ' v 0w Y&y$ a ' , By IDAH McGLONE CIBSOX.

TO BE REMODELED. LI WASHINGTON", Aus. 0. Rclne lions of the strength of American nriny division to the European stan dard o 19,000 men and revival ot' the old army corps major, tnetien! unit was recommended, it was learn ed today, by Major General Persh ing, after a careful study of comii tions at the front. Americiin offi cers are convinced that sound mili tary reasons induced the French, and British war offices to adopt this tac tical formation for trench warfare. Reductions of the divisions means n bis job for the war department. Much administrative work, already completed, probably will have to be thrown aside and dono over. Gen eral Pershing's recommendations are positive, however, and the depart ment's nttitnde is the same as it was toward General Funston iliirin? the Mexican trouble. The wishes of the men on the ground, on whom rests the responsibility for nciu.i! nperq tions, will be met as far 3 practic able. . One effect of the reduction of both brigades and divisions will be' Id create many additional vacancies in the grades of major and brigadier-gonerul.
