Specking at the annual meeting of the PrlmroBO league today, Karl Curzon, govern ment leader la the bouse of lords, and member of the British war coun cil, defended the British war cabtnot. "We have been told frequently during the last few months that our govornment was In weekly, If not daily, peril of having an end put to ItB exlstonco. Against It only yostor day was directed a lethal blow which somowbat glanced off the target," ibo said. Kncmy Is nt "Gates" "Tho present Is not a moment for prophecy. It Is a moment for grap pling with hard facts, because the military menace Is greater than at any time during the last four years. It may truthfully be said that tho enomy Is at our gates and the hour of destiny Is with us at this very momont." Uarl Curzon Bald ho was thoroly astonished when he read In tho news papers proposals made by responsible ponrons that tho right thing to do at this emorgency was to pluco gen erals and admirals lusldo the cabinet. The Btrange thing about this sugges tion, he said, was that it was made by those who "shrieked about Ger man militarism." Soldier Unfit for Cabinet "Let the generals and admirals," he continued, "attend the cabinet meetings as they do every day and advise cabinet members, but the mo ment a soldier Is placed in control of policy and administration, the sol dier : 4 'polled and ho does not Im prove administration. The names of groat soldiers have been used by party politicians. This Is deplorahlo In the oxtremo; fatal to military dis cipline and a dangerous form of con tagion. Such a practice is extromoly obnoxious to tho army itself." Ho Bald that mistakes might have boon in ado, but, he said, "since tho present government has been In of flco tho omplro has given forth a war effort which novor has been equalled In history. Tho position of England today 1b that sho is tho pillar and bul wark upholding tho civilization of tho world." 't'ati Kqual Ministers Karl Curzon did not claim tbut tho prosont govornment was Indispens able. Thero wore, ho Bald, other patriotic, disinterested mon who might take office and discharge their dutios well, but, bo said, tho llrltlsh omplro would sooner havo Lloyd tloorgo as premier than any other statesman. "If Lloyd-Ocorgo had fallen yos- torday," ho said, "tho rojolelngs would havo been In Ilcrlln and not In London, Paris, Calcutta or Montreal. The country Is sick of rulllngs and waitings made under tho shelter of the forms of distinguished soldiers. Tho moment n country allows a mili tary administration to assumo tho upper band, It Is on tho path that leads to disaster." Vote Warns "Snipers" llo s.ild yesterday's voto was much more than a mere, rejection of charges ngalnst tho ministry. It was a warning to snipers (o desist from thnso tactics and that commons had no sympathy with their maneuvers '(iravo times nro ahead," ho ctui- tlnucdt "and llrltisli soldiers may hnvo to glvo ground. Encouragement is to bo found, however, In tho unity of command, In Americn's effort and In tho resolute, Indomitable spirit of tho llrltlsh people." Ho concluded with a wish that lro- laud had joined In the military effort and hoped that It wnH not yet too iato. 'Thero Is only one thing we cannot afford to loso anil that Is tho war," we.ro bis closing words. ALASKA WINS HONORS IN BIG LOAN DRIVE SAN I'MtANCISt'O. May II.

By dofeat of the aircraft program and the selec tive draft service act, together with the practice of sabotage In the trenches In France and tho factories at home, it was hoped by the I. W. W. members to crumble America's war plans, according to evidence' present ed by the government today In the seditious conspiracy trial of the I. W. V. leaders. The mass of documentary evidenco characterized conscription ns a chal lenge to the working man, advocated spiking of guns andsp'oillng of pow der and termed tho uniform of tho soldier "tho livery of tho scab herder." Lumberjacks Interfere "Why not ask the lumberjack?" was the heading of an article in an official organ of Aug. 8, 1917, in which authorities were quoted as saying the nation's aircraft program would be delayed a year unless a striko In tho northwest lumber dis tricts were settled in two weeks. "This is an open admission that we have tied up the program," Bald the article. "I belong to tho I. W. W. becauso I am patriotic," read ono of the alleged anti-war documents. "Patriotism does not mean murder, but war does. I am too patriotic to enlist." Various means of breaking down the military machine by a campaign of destruction, and the teachiag of discontent were referred to In some of the matter placed on record. "Patriot" Is Seditious "The patriotic I. W. W. member does not salute the flag. He slows down production by practicing sabot age." "Our Amorlcan heroes taken to Germany as prisoners of war wore compelled, mind you, to bathe once a week, and eat frankfurters and saucr kraut instead of 'coffee and,' " was ono of the complaints. "President Wilson lias proclaimed a state of war," an announcement three weeks later stated. ' "Conscrip tion may bo passed by congress . . . Don't fight the bosses' battles; join the I. W. W. and fight your own." Shipyard Incident As showing the activities of the I. W. W. In connection with western coast shipyard work, tho government submitted an article from nn official organ under date of Aug. 29 Inst, which announced that Mayor Rolph of San Francisco had purchased a shipyard on Humboldt bay which would be operated as a closed shop.

Mr. Stanficld shares this feeling and promises. If elected, to correct It as far as It lies in bis power to do so. Senator McNary de nies that any such discrimination ex ists. He was quoted ia a dispatch from Washington to the Oregon Jour nal as saying that ho took no stock In the statement that there had been discrimination against Oregon, Of course, if ho believes thero has been no such discrimination he will mako no effort to remove It."- S. D. Hus ton, who withdrew from the senator ial contest and Is supporting Stan field. Why do tho Telegram and Journal complain that Seattle Is ahvavs tak ing payrolls away from Portland and then attack Stanficld because ho has built up an industry which benefits Oregon and Tortlnnd, create, a pay roll and adds thousands of dollars to tho tax list? Why has Portland lost so much to Seattle is it because thero are elements in Portland al ways ready to knock anyone who tries to help tho community?

There isn't a lazy bone in his body. He has been a toiler 'till' his life and novor held a cushy Job, Raised on the rnngo, he is no silk stocking. Stanficld has built up from nothing thru constructive labor until today he is one of the genuine assets ot Oregon. Ho did not marry his money nor did ho Inherit it he worked for it.
