WHAT is the veal lesson of the (nxiitics fJeiTiiany lias
eoniiiiitti'd in the war.' i
Do they prove that (Jeniians are a different species of
human beings?
This would do violence to th; observations which
nearly all broad-minded men have reached, who have
come into contact with many breeds of men.
Scientists, travelers and just plain folk are pretty well
agreed that in his own home, in normal surroundings the
average man of one clime or race is very much like Un
man of any other breed. Certainly the war has proved
that in the primitive qualifies of courage, endurance and
loyalty the rank and file of the combatant races are very
much alike. - : :
Relying on these facts, the defenders of German crime
have continued to whisper. "Oh, all soldiers are alike, if
the allies had been on German soil they would have done
just as badly."
This is a slander on the living heroes of every army ex
cept the German, liven the Turkish fighting man has a
better record. It is also a slander on 1 lie dead of our
American armies of the revolution and the civil war.
Xo such outrages as the German crimes were recorded
in any American war by either side.
Kven in the track of Sherman's march across Georgia
today there is not a tradition of anything like the hellish
things which marked the German tide thru Bcbgiuni. In
i lie South African war there was not one instance of a
JJj'if ish soldier even insulting a black or white woman.
The Germans in 1870 did not do such things in France.
To match the atrocities of 3914-1917 one must travel back
to the massacres and rapine of the religious wars of the
sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. '
The answer to the whole anomaly is very simple and
doubly damning to the ruling caste in Prussia today.
All soldiers are very much alike, but armies' aiid offi
cers are not.
Any army contains a percentage of men who will, if
not held by rigid discipline, perpetrate outrages of the
blackest kind.
livery city, every village, every countryside has indi
viduals of the same sort.
But every army in the world today and for 300 years
back, except the German army, has been controlled by a
set of officers and a system of discipline which held such
troops in check and kept them under the control of the
decent majority.
The fact that the German army, with its iron discipline,
did not do so proves that the German crimes were delib
erately encouraged and ordered by the government thru
its officer class.
That is the real lesson of the German atrocities. They
teach (hat the German government and its military system
are different from all other governments and all oil her mil
itary systems. For enduring such a system the German
people and the German private soldiers must bear full
blame.
In that sense, all soldiers are not alike. We can hardly
imagine the clean-minded anil independent young fellows
now gathered in our (raining camps commit'ting any such
acts as the loot of Louvain, even if their officers told them
to. Military discipline in the American, Kreneli and IJrit
ish armies has well defined limits, because Americans and
their abies are not reared to believe that any set of men
.in God's earth has any divine rights.

ROGUE RIVER PEARS SUPPRESS REVOLT 'EOR OPENING GAME
CHEAP AT PORTLAND TURKESTAN TROOPS OF WORLD SERIES
I , .
(From Portjanil Journal.)
Speeding Portlandward Is a whole
carload of HoKue river valley pears
and apples. Next Monday tho I'ro
greslvo iliislness Men's club, Just as
a contribution to practical food ad
ministration, will offer the 50 1 boxes
which comprlso the carload, at ft cents
a box more than It costs to bring I be
fruit to Portland. Tho sales head
quarters will ho lilii Fifth slredt,
few doors north of the Intersection of
Washington and Fifth streets. .Mem
bers of the club will be the sales
men. Altho it is not know definitely
yet. Just what tho transportation costs
will ho, the club announces that it
will have 51 boxes of winter Uanana
apples at within a fen- cents of SO
cents a box, 120 boxes of large Hose
pears at about 60 cents, 120 boxes
of small Hose pears at about 50 cents,
100 boxes of tho famous Cornice pears
at about GO cents and 50 boxes of
Jonathan apples at about 75 cents a
box. The boxes are of the large size,
No Fl'eo Deliveries.
The condition imposed is that the
people who want the fruit must come
and mako their own purchases and
carry the boxes to their homes. The
apples and poars will ho excellent
for canning.
The club is enabled to perform the
sc.rvico for Portland people thru
discovery mado by State Hiologist
Will L. Finley when he was recently
at Medford. lie found that In sorting
C'omlfo pears fruit that sells in Lon
don for ?10 to $11 a box that any
pear that had the stem broken off
or a tiny spot caused by the rubbing
of a limb was graded as a "second'
and placed in what is known as i
"jumbled" pack.
"This fruit," he explained to the
directors of tho Progressive llusln-
ness Men's club, "is just as good for
cunning, is just as giih in food value
as tho expensive first-grade fruit. 1
found that the fruit packing company
was willing to let lis have a carload of
fruit that would otherwise possibly
bo wasted at a price just sufficient to
cover the cost of tho picking, the sort
ing and tho boxes. I had six boxes
expressed to my home in Portland
and' the fruit is in excellent condi
tion." Mr. Finley exhibited Cornice and
Mose pears which ho hud bought and
tho directors sampled them. "The
most delicious fruit I've calen this
year," commented II. Oorard F.lfin
ger, one of tho directors, as he hit
into one of tho Juicy Cornice pears.
Oimniltteo Put in Charge.
President Karl A. (Turk appointed
a committee of club members to have
charge of tho enterprise, as follows:
Charles W. F.rtz, chairman; P. II.
Kneeland, Frank McCrlllis, John I).
Ripley, J. It. St.lohn, J. E. Werlin,
Arthur L. Finley, II. F. Chapln, and
O. If. Schwerdl matin.
The sale will open probably about
II o'clock Monday morning. "II will
take about Ihree hours to dispose of
every Pox of that fruit," predicted
Chairman Kneeland of the committee.
The Progressive Husiness . Men's
club has arranged to rent the store
rooin at lilii Fifth street. a9 a Hod
Cross headquarters. Tho 5 cents a
box added lo Iho cost of bringing
the fruit to Portland will be put Into
a fund to he used toward paying the
rent. As club members will furnish
trucks to haul the fruit from the
car as well as act ns salesmen, the
cost will be about a fourth or a third
of what the same fruit would cost if
bought In the regular way.
oinM'iliion Nol Aim.
"We want It understood thai we do
not Intend to offer competition with
established retail fruit merchants."
said President Clark. "We have
found this opportunity to furnish
Portland people with a carload of
nood fruit that otherwise would have
gone to waste or been sold to feed
hogs, and In these war times, we have
got to be practical in our arguments
against waste."
