The first official summary of the wur ac tivities of tliu United Stutes will bo Issued In a few dnya by Secretary Tinker, to bo followed wockly there after with statements of such matters as may bo disclosed without violat ing military precautions, Tbe exact nature of tho statements has not been inndo known. Secretary linker gnld be would go just as far as tho military advisers of tbe gov ernment deemed It wise toward in formlnK tho public of what was in nrogrosH. ' Information of every sort reaching tho department will bo scrutinized for publlshablo mattor. When American troops got Into action In France, dally statements probably will bo Is sued, founded upon tho reports from General Pershing. ) Regarding many rumors of disas ters to American troops or shipping constantly being circulated, Mr. lia kor roltorated emphatically tho plodgo of tho administration to with hold no misadventure of tho forces from tho public. ICvory untoward happening will bo announced prompt ly, he suid, and tho public may rest assured that no nows mean good news to that extent, Such rumors as have beon curront recently, ho said, wero without any foundation whntovor. ', Tho extent to which naval happen ings can be madu public has been a difficult mntler. Secretary Daniels lias promised that news of disasters will bo given out with as littla delay as possible, but It Is not to bo ex pected thnt news of dnmago to naval craft, temporary disablement of de stroyers or other vessels, either as u result of action or thru accident, will bo disclosed. Tho practice of all countries has been to keep tho enemy as much In tho dark ns possible on bucIi nmtlers.

With Medford irtxle li Medford runilo Til 10 reasons why (lermany would like to have peace at. tlie present time are manifold. Aside from the faet tlitit she is stronger now, than she will ever he again during this war, that she is now making war in eneniv ter- litory ;md holds vast readies of Belgian, French, Russian, Serbian and Kuiiiaiiian lands, there ;ire conditions at home that make it wise, if not imperative, that the war come to ,'in early end. The Hermans are a docile and disciplined people. They jOve a ruler and master. J hey apparently delight in being forbidden to do all manner of tilings. They are a folk among whom revolutions do not thrive. They have too wholesome a respect for the kaiser's soldiers and the kaiser's police. , ut the ruling caste of Germany apparently knows there is a limit to which even Germans may be driven. German' today is a land of thin, underfed, underclothed people. It is a land upon every home of which Death has laid his icy finger. There are blind men and maimed men in every village. It is a land in which people never smile any more. Carking care has taken the place of easy mirth. And the depressed spirits of the people are not uplifted when they read in a worker's journal, like the Textilar heiter of Berlin, that Uernhard llauptig, a member of the textile workers' union, has "exchanged the temporal for the eternal life." Nor do they rejoice when the article continues that his relatives, applying for financial help, were instead given a death cerlii'icato by the district med ical officer which said: "The undersigned hereby certi fies that the .r)8-year-od factory worker, 5ernhard Haup tig, was found dead on .'June .15 in Engclsbcrg pastures. According to investigations which were, duly carried out, the above-named person died ot starvation." To which the Text ilarbeiter added the terrible thought: "llauptig is not the first norwill he be the last member of the textile workers' union to 'die of starvation." This simple item, with its plain truths, gives the lie to the announcements of the Prussian masters that Germany has enormous resources and her food supply is holding out well. A land in which the resources are ample is not a land in which an industrious, worker wanders the fields and dies of starvation like ainegleeted dog. No wonder Yorwaens, a socialist organ of Germany, which sometimes dares to hint at the truth, said in u recent issue: "The present internal conditions in Germanv remind one of tins festive horseman immortalized in the Fliegende Blaetter who, being asked, 'Meyer, where are you riding tor Jrankly replied, 'Mow do 1 know 'J Ask the horse.' "We ask: 'Quo vadis Germaniar" Now the socialists are not the only ones who are askinc whither Germany is going. It is being asked sullenly, sav agely, timidly or worriedly, as the case may be, by every one in kaiserthuni. All recognize that the breaking point may lie reaciieti. j Here is a stage beyond which even Ger mans will not endure. Wars have sometimes ceased be- uise the people have absolutely refused to prosecute them any longer. Dynasties have sometimes been toppled into the dust because people have refused to starve any longer.' That is what is worrying the Jlohenzollern outfit. Thcv are not winning abroad and they tear conditions at home. Hence their strenuous efforts to end the war before win ter, before defeat, before a starved and frozen people may' find the courage to drive them from their thrones. 1ST THE MISSISSIPPI ASS T IIK loudest bray raised in the senate in behalf of Ger iiimiiv i h' .l:imi's Viipil'iiivin if MioLiluLMi,,,! ...... of the little band of willful men who use their public office ro neiray tiieir couulry. Jle calls America s entry into the war an "entry for profits," and in long-winded sentences depicts himself as void of patriotism. American honor, American prestige. American riirhls. American lives, American property all these things might be attacked by the kaiser's men and there would not be a flicker of Vardanian's pulse. He is so pro-German that America's entrance into the great war means to him i hat America is stabbing Germany in the back while Eng land and France hold her down. The great American slate of Mississippi with its very small number of Teutons Kilili Germans and 117 Austri ans is well and ably represented in the United States sen ate by John Sharp Williams, who thinks and talks like an American. And the same great slate with !)!l,5 per cent native j.oru population is sadly misrepresented hv James K. Vardanian. Fortunately Mississippi is shortly to decide whether Vardanian shall continue in the national capital or remain at home, lie brayed his way into the senate some six vears igo as a regulation "niirj:cr -hailer. 1 1 s t b, li, n,.,i his wav out he will bray ( Icrnianv.

At the meeting (here Monday Del Norte county asked the state high way commission to build a paved highway from the Humboldt county lino to the Curry county, Oregon, line, the request beinif backed by -r0 boosters from Coos and Curry coun ties, Oregon, who pledged a contin uation highway to Marshfiold. The state eommission promises such a highway only to Crescent; City; ns Kertiii.if tliat Del Nort county shall receive nothing further from tlie state. There were nineteen speakers at Monday night's nieetin-;. C(in;!:issi;iner Stern, for the, Cali fornia ctt'.ni:ii?:sion, ravo an instruc live explanation, of tho work in Cali fornia. ' Governor Stoplions and James A.

Kears for the safety of Horacn -Mar.-ihall, elcetiicai engineer at the Fort Klamath Aicucv, Oregon, who mis.sin in the mountainous KiK-tioii of tiie Crater lake country, uro now entertained hv searchers who have searched (lie ruj-'cd distrii't for nearly a week without finding the slightest trace of the man. J'ark t'onimissioner V. G. Steel of llm Crater Lake Xalional park i uiilinir in f ho search. According to reports reachin Mumath rails, Mr. Marshall was- last, seen last Tuesday afternoon when, carrying liis jfiin and u snial iiiantil.v of ummunition, he wnndered away I'roni companion hunters and evidently became lost. (In his fail ure to return his friends started looking fur him. Tlie search has been coulimicd daily. t J ne point where .Mr. .Marshall was last seen is in the western part of Klamath comily unci in what known as the lied Indian country. This section of the country is excep tionally rouh. It is i'eared that Mr. Marshall may have wandered into the recesses of a box canyon from which he was un able to Jind his way out. Another theory is that he niijdit have met with some accident or been -ucci-ileiilally drowned in lied, Blanket river. This river empties into the Iioirue river and searchers have been keeping a close watch for the ap pearance of the body in one of these rivers. A. K. YA'iyins, a Klamalh resi dent, accompanied by his do, is joining in the hunt. The do- is said to he unusually friendly to Air. Marshall. L COPliN'HAGKX, Aug. 22. A tele Kram from the official Corr bureau of Vienna seems to indicate that Aus tria-Hungary will accept the pope's peaco proposals. A summary of Aus-tro-IIungarian press opinion circulat ed by the Corr bureau, .says: "Tho newspapers regard the con crete proposals in the peace methods as a suitable basis for beginning peaco negotiations, but doubt wheth er the entente shares this hope.'' In view of the well known prac tices of tho Corr bureau In preparing such summaries, this may undoubt edly bo rcgimlcd as the government's voice. The bureau thou ingeniously suggests that when the pope rc'forro.d to territorial questions between Aus tria and Italy, he Vould not have hail Austrian soil in mind, because tho alienation thereof is not to be discussed. ENGINEERS' ME IN LONDON", Aug. 22. An under standing has been reached between the government and the Associated Society of Locomotive Engineers and Firemen, who have been threatening a general strike of railway men. The society had demanded the adoption of an eight-hour day, but a delegation that visited Sir Albert Stanley, pres ident of the board of trade, was in formed on Sandfly that the govern ment would discuss the question of an eight-hour dny only when the war was ended. Later, however, the two sides en tered into further negotiations and It was believed yesterday that a wny would be found to reach an agreement.
