THAT THE socialists arc standing outside tho human race and hy their jivcsciit policy' can only initiate a socialist order' in heaven, when the whole civilized world is under the heel of tho (Jerinan junker, is the statement made by '.M. Baranov, one of the most prominent socialists in America, and for '20 years on the editorial staff of the Jewish Daily Forward, the largest socialist daily in the United States, who is disgusted with domination of. the party hy pro-Clorman pacifists. In an article in the Forward, Mr. Baranov thus pub licly expresses the viewpoint of socialists who have been read out of the party because of their patriotism: "All mankind is interested in the result of this strug gle. It is no longer a capitalistic war, or an imperialistic war, or a nationalistic war. It is a war of humanity. "It is a war between the M iddlo Ages and the twentieth century, between feudalism and democracy, between dark ness and light. The war was not such at the beginning. It has become what it is lately. It is possible that those that play the leading role in this struggle do not under stand it. The kaiser und ilindenbiirg evidently do'n'ot un derstand it; they are fighting for the darkness of the Mid dle Ages. Otherwise they would not have carried on the war with such enthusiasm. The statesmen of the other side are beginning to see this. President Wilson seems to un derstand best of all that the allies ire fighting against the dark forces of medievalism. "To a war that lias assumed such a character only weak theorists, peanut politicians, and narrow-minded egotists can remain. neutral. Living beings, men. and women who think, must, take a stand for the (Jermans or against them. And thought ful people can only take one stand: Down with the military and autocratic beast of Germany and Austria. And one program: War until the t wentieth cen tury is victorious over the Middle Ages, until democracy has shattered imperialism, until progress has crushed re action, until light has drowned the darkness. "And until the human race has been made secure for ever against feudalism, reaction and darkness, all with out regard to classes and parties must stand united and fight .011 the side of progress. . Democracy is light. Pro gress is in danger. The future of the hitman race is at stake. To look down upon this gigantic struggle, at such a time from philosophic heights and quibble or even con demn hoth sides alike is more than idiocv, It is criminal." DUMPING IN TIT 10 words ,of Lloyd George, the United States is -- litornllv ".dumping an army into France,," Practically every available ship is being pressed into service anil thousands of men, 1 rained in the cantonments, eager to face the Hun, are daily landed. How many Americans are there in France? German estimates placed the number of line troops at 2'2(),(HK) at the liegiiininng of the present offensive five weeks ago. As (iO per cent of the first consignment were not line troops, but engineers, foresters and auxiliaries, the esti mate is probably not far off. 'Secretary Baker states that by the end of the year, 3,200,000, perhaps more, can be transported. Probabl'v the number will total a million by July 1, and 1,000,000 bv'Sop teniber. In all probability, the monthly draft call replaces the ti ps sent abroad. For May the drqft call exceeds 3(M),(MX), with a still larger call looming for June. Fvery man lauded now is worth ten next year and the president is straining every resource to put everv available man in France. In the draft are l.KOO.OOO in Class 1 available for active duty, and every man may expect a call to the colors before the summer is over. Corresp khaki clad Correspondents in Franco state that, the volume of arrivals surpasses seen. Cantonments are developing over night. Pailroad extensions and spin's develop as if by magic. Old French villages, which have not before seen Americans, are-extending a royal welcome, while the troops are continuing training before being ordered to the front lino to share. in the fighting. And when the Americans get into action in force, the knell of doom will sound for the kaiser's dream of world domiiiat ion. EAT MORE POTATOES AND SAVE THE WHEAT Oregon has 5a0 cnrloads of surplus potatoes, say ILTiil.UOO worth ot re tall, which will spull hy summer If not cuten. Our soldiers and the allies on tho blond-drenched fields of Franco must havo T.l.UOK.iUHi to Ml, 000, 000 bushels of wheat be tween now and harvest lime or quit flKblliiK. Potatoes are cheap.; Wo must eat them and scud the wheat to the front. Wo are actually not eating us many potatoes this year as last, when potato prices were sky hihh. Isn't that Just llko human na ture? To uao this Oro;ou surplus every person In Oregon over ten yenrs of oko should eal about half a bushel of potatoes more III tlio next three months than he usually eats. There are 270 meals lit three mom lis, nnd Oils means we should add an avenue of nearly Iwo ounces of potatoes to eory oan of our meals every day unlil July. Can we do It? The tlermans eat threo times as many potatoes as we do. Tlicy are literally winning the war on potatoes. Shall we do less" We must flKUl llie knleer man for man. shell lor shell and potato for potato. Think of the wheat Oregon can soc by caltitK her surplus pota toes; Hotels In many cases are scrvtim only Insignificant potUous of Pota toes, and these wretchedly cooked. The patriotic hotel and restsuruni man from now on will serve lots of potatoes, attractively cooUcd and at a reasonable price. If he does not do s, remind Mm of bis duty. CIVILIZATION.
