PACIFIC HGHWAY
8AI.KM, Or., Aug. 23. When may
a road bo classified' as a post road un
der tho provisions of the Shuck leford
net, which provides for co-operntlon
hetweon the government and the
states In the construction and Im
provement of post roads?
Tho co-operative work planned by
the stute highway department for this
year depends on the answer to this
question. Tho proposed, work de
pends on the construction the govern
ment officials and engineers may put
upon tho meaning of (he Bhacklcford
act. If tho uct is broadly Interpreted
the co-operativo work will proceed
without a hitch, anil If not thero Is
hound to he delay, according to the
state highway engineer's department.
Two projects have been mapped
out for co-operative work with the
government this year In Improving
post roads on a basis of the state
putting up a dollar for ench dollar to
be spent by the government. Ilotb
are a port of the Pacific highway. One
is tho Wolf Creek grade in Josephine
county, and tho other Is In Douglas
county. Tho proposed work In nou
ghts Is in two sections, one providing
for tho elimination of Huberts moun
tain grade, and tho othor In what is
known as Pass Creek canyon.
Tho distance for the proposed Im
provement In Douglas county is 10
miles and tho estimated cost $200,
000. So far the Douglas county proposi
tion has not been presented to tho
government engineers, but the Jose
phine county project has, and It has
not yet been approved by tho govern
ment officials berauso they say
enough data has not been presented
to Incl lento that It is to be used In the
future as n post road. Tho govern
ment officials are asking for nforo
proof on I Ills point.

PEACE A DREAM, SAYS VON BUELOW
U A I'OLTCY based on might alone and not on right is
doomed to failure from the beginning, ' stated Di
Itiehnrd von Kiiehlmaini, the new (ierniau foreign seere
tary, in his speech to Hit; reichstag. lie eontinued : "The
rights of neutrals and necessarv conditions we shall be
most careful to respect," with the significant qualification.
uns far as is compatible with enemy trickery and our own
military needs."
The world has had many examples of German careful
consideration of tin; rights of neutrals, modified by (Jer
man "military needs." Belgium is an example. Th
United States furnished another example. Stripped of
verbal embellishments,. the German policy consists in the
recognition of right only when might compels it, and
"military necessity" outweighs every law of Clod and man
Further elucidating the German viewpoint, we have n
new book entitled, "Imperial German'," written by
Prince Jjarnhard von Buelow, former imperial chancellor,
revised since the Mar, presenting the mat ure views of that
statesman and giving a birdseye view of the principles
that govern Uermanv, showing that the on) v god known by
the junkers in military might to which all civilization must
be prostituted.
As to peace, Prince von Buelow savs: "Even if we had
not been threatened with war during the last decades, we
must realize that there is no such tiling as permanent
peace, and must remember Moltke's words: 'Permanent
peace is a dream, and not even a beautiful one. But war
is an essential element or God s scheme of the world.' "
War as practiced bv the Germans as an "essential ele
ment ot God's scheme ol tIio world," is unwarned assas
sination ot the unarmed and helpless on the free seas, neu;
train as well as enemies; deportation and enslavement of
peoples and lorcible suppression ot nationalities, murder
ot women and children by bombs dropped from the skies
upon school houses, bombing of Iced Cross hospitals and
shelling ol patients, desolation and pillage ot fertile reg:
ions, strangling of soldiers by poison gases and a thousand
and one barbarous atrocities.
As to German peace amis, on Buelow savs: "It crocs
without, saying that the main object ol: the war must be to
obtain tor Germany not only adequate compensations, but
also guarantees which prevent any future war under the
same, or similar, nnlavorable conditions. "
Permanent peace, according to Von Buelow. is an idle
dream. It is, as long as German autocracy with its bar
barian ideals, survives. It will be an idle dream for the
world until Prussian militarism is destroyed.
' War is an essential element of God's scheme of the
world," echoes this most prominent of Germans. It is
a glorious element when waged to destroy the Prussian
menace to civilization when 1 ought to preserve demoe
racy and freedom and crush autocracy and slavery. Onlv

a. glorious possibility, to freo the world from the mon
ster of militarism with its nightmare of wholesale murder
and destruction to liberate humanity from the reisrn of
oppressive frighthihiess, to establish the rule of right, re
gardless of the "military needs" of the junker, and our
slogan should be "to liell with the llolieiizollerns."

A pie of the wise provincialism that rules many of our
villages not at all an unusual exhibition, but remarkable
principally because of the lack of patriotism displayed.
lllage lar-sightednes is famous thruout the country.
Jacksonville and Vreka displayed it years ago and were
sidetracked. The village wiseacre and town-lneet ing

tions villages.
The United States is at war and it is the dut v of every
one to co-operate in speeding up war preparations. On
account of its favorable location and subsidies from San
Francisco, Palo Alto was selected as the site of one of the
national army cantonments, and a temporary city to house

menace to village health and that, a permanent sewer sys
tem must be built at a cost of $."(M),0(H) in order (hat the
really owners may reap the benefit after the camp's ;Jmn

sanitary knowledge and experience to the engineers and
scientists of the I'nited States government who designed
Mid approved the contemplated sewer system and" the
chance to graft Uncle Sam for village improvements is
not to be overlooked so Palo Alto issues its ultimatum.
But Uncle Sam, strange to say. refuses to be grafted, or-dei-s
the camp abandoned, sends troops elsewhere and
leaves Palo Alto to meditate upon its display of wisdom.
