SAME OLD LIES
KAISER AVIMIKIE is still peddling to liis credulous
dupes the hunk that England started the war. Be
tween his exhortations of hate lie still profanely appeals
to his pod of f rightfulness, in whose name, like the heathen
kings of old, he promises victory. He says:
"All Germans have realized who is the instigator of
this war and who is the chief enemy England. . . .
England is particularly the enemy to he. struck down,
however difficult it may he. . . . "With God's lielp we
thai! see the struggle through and he victorious."
England is to he struck down because the English navy
and army cheeked, the German plan for a speedy conquest
of the world tho England was the last of the seven
nations to declare war and then only because Germany
violated her pledges and invaded Belgium. '
It was recently stated by a member of the German
rcichstag, and not officially denied, that the war was
planned at a conference held between Germany and Aus
tria early in July, after which the kaiser went fishing to
prove an alibi. After the ultimatum had been sent Serbia,
Austria was willing to submit her grievances to arbitra
tion, but Germany refused to permit it. For half a cen
tury Germany had prepared for war, her industries, re
sources and man power mobilized for action. "When it was
deemed propitious, the blow was struck.
The war found England non-military and wholly un
prepared. She had, as the kaiser said, only "a contempt
ible little army" of ' 50,000, and no universal military
training. For a century England had dreamed of peace
her war industries had ceased to exist. Her steel and iron
industries had been supplanted by Germany, the Krupps
made her guns, her shipbuilding plants had been allowed
to decay. Raw r.-alerials from which explosives were made
had been shipnedout of the country by crafty Germans.
There was no adequate military or civil resources or or
ganization, no desire for war and no belief that war could
come. Even a year after the declaration of war,' England
was shy a million rifles and short on munitions.
Germany had trained every citizen for war and had an
army of five million in the field. Every industrial force
had been marshalled for war, while possible enemies had
been crippled industrially, economically and defensively.
An elaborate secret service system covered the world.
Germany was so sure of quick victory that before a
blow was struck, medals were stnick to commemorate the
capture of Paris. Even the date for the kaiser's triumph
an entry had been fixed. .
The kaiser cuts a. sorry spectacle, shamelessly repeat
ing and reiterating falsehoods and appealing to God for
victory to nerve tip his people to continue a losing strug
gle. Only against demoralized Russia, can his' invincible
army" make an advance, livery day sees a little more of
pillaged territory taken front his grasp every day sees
more of his coiinijymcn slaughtered to realize his vain
diva ins of world dominion. Every day sees Gernianv
grow weaker as hjs enemies grow stronger hastening
towards collapse -anil a ruin which is necessary to make the
world sale lor civilization. Yet he clings to the old lies
and the old blasphemy in justification for the crimes he
has committed in staining all Europe red with human
blood.
ALL VEHICLES SHOULD BE LIGHTED
THE district attorney's office is conducting a badly
needed campaign for the elimination of the glaring
auto headlight nuisance as provided in the Oregon motor
vehicle law which became effective August 1. Many acci
dents have been caused by these brilliant lights, which are
unnecessary upon a paved road like the Pacific highway.
The section of the law concerning them reads as follows:
When the convenience or safety of the use of any public highway
demands, the front lights or every motor vehicle shall be dimmed so as
to prevent any glare therefrom, or shall be so directed that the center
rays thereof shall strlko the ground at a distance not to exceed 75 feet
In front of such vehicle.
The driver is, under the law, apparently given the
option of either dimming or properly focusing his lights
so that the road in front will lie illuminated, and not an
indeterminate stretch of highway.
I he use ol diiiuuers, however, necessitates the enforce
ment, of another section of th law, reading as follows:
All vehicles, other than motor cars, shall bo required to display
hut one lighted lamp, Mich lamp In be placed on the front of the vehicle
so that It shall he visible at least t (ill feet in the direction In which tho
vehicle Is proceeding ami show red light to tho rear.
Wagons and buggies should carry such alight, for their
own safely, as when a motor car is driven with dimmers,
in compliance with law, they cannot, be seen by the motor
ist and are apt to be run down in t he semi-darkness. Two
autos passing each other with lights dimmed are likely to
collide with an milighted wagon, invisible in the darkness.
