Oregon, under the act uf March I. 1B7S Ye Smudge Pot By ArtJiur I-rry Tho coming of .Marshal Koch today recalls those dark November days in 3918 when his genius paved the way for the most collossal defeat of his tory only to have It annulled by Uto pian piffle and Idealistic buncombe. He knew the war could not be won with lilgli-soiinding, doublo manning words, and so stated 1o self appointed "sav iors of mankind" and their "apostles." Porhapa this soldier of France, and citizen of the world, finds recompense for the softening of disaster upon a haughty land, 111 the cheers of the mul titudes, and the knowledge Hint being conveniently sick when lie calls Is not general among thu American people.

Of course there is the usual wheeze about the most constructive record of . , , , progressive achievement since Noah floated the ark, but no one believes it in Washington. Kveryone Is dissatis-! fied with the record of congress. In-j eluding the congressmen. Hut there; Is no election this year and everyone hopes to do better next. .Meanwhile! tho C7th congress adjourns sine die. which means among other things that It is dead but won't be forgotten. No one here Is crazy about the tax bill though It Is generally regarded as better than the democratic pro duct; no one likes the ami beer bill, but it is regarded as good politics, and the armament parley at the mo ment Is at its lowest ebb. There is one thing of Interest to Medford Legion boys, I have il from unimpeachable authority as the cor respondents say that a federal bo nus bill will be enacted at the next sesssion, or if not then certainly before another general election. The financial situation is slated to clear up rapidly. The most astonishing tiling about this arms parley III us far is the Anglo-French feud. It is difficult to believe ones eyes and ears. Strained relations between these two allies in the world war to the casual Ameri can observer seems Incredible, and yet the fact stands out llko a wart on a pickle. . . . . The fact is while Kngland and Franco havu been friends for ten years, they were enomies for ten hun dred. And this traditional enmity survives, while the entente cordiale has gone the way of oilier war ex pedients. Kedured to Its simplest terms Kng land and Franco aro engaged In a struggle for the supremacy or Ku rope. .Kngland wants German trade and Franco wants Germany's goat. Kngland, therefore, laughs at the Idea, of a revived and militant Ger many, while France justifies the re tention of a large standing army, and the creation of a U-boat fleet, by painting the dread picture of the avenging Hun. There Is no evidence as yet of the United , .Suites taking sides in this contest. The only sentiment express ed is one of regret, thut this breach should occur, and fear, that it may re sult In balling up the constructive results of the conference. ftaly however, is leaning plainly to wurd support of Great Uritaln.. The recent examination or the French Italian frontier by military experts rroni I'aris is significant, .lust as Franco and Kngland uro contesting fur lint c.otitrol of Kurope, no France and Italy are contesting for the control of tho .Mediteraueau. ' Lord I'urzon's warning therefore, that France faces Isolation, because of her Imperialistic policy, assumes automatically a basis of reality. Tho danger rroni an Kuropean standpoint Is a roil! danger. And unless thero Is II change In tho situation abroad In tlio uuur future, tin embroiled and em bittered Knropo seems certain, In such a situation what will be the American pulley? Only men on the Inside know. Hut thero is evi denc on evory hand, that tho policy of hands off which kept America out or tho League or iN'ations wll bu strictly adhere to In this crisis. The more one considers tho situa- lion, the more sensible auch a course appears. The problem is essentially i RipplingRhijmGS TEH PEDDLER. TIIK peddlor greets me at, my door, and w lias tilings to sell, some dope to stain a kitchen floor, a patent dinner bell; but, I can liny them at the store from ,1. Augustus Knell. The peddler has no interests hero, he doesn't pay the freight; lie doesn't chip in every year to keep the tax list straight ; and so 1 say, "Please ilimippcai:," and shoo him from my gate. It may be he sells bet ter junk than Sncll does tit the store; but if 1 spend with him a plunk, I'll never see him more, and if I find his goods arc punk, 'twill be no use to roar. Hut if al .I.Augustus Suell's 1 liny it quilting frame, and find it isn't wearing bells, its workmanship to blame. I seek that merchant where be dwells and climb upon his I'm me. Ami he'll prmluce another frame, or else refund the cash; he can't al'l'iird to win a fame for selling worthless trash; il 's up to hint to piny the game or sec his business smash. And .1. Augustus nobly stacks when boosting schemes abound, and J. Au gustus pays bis tax without a doleful sound, and join the boys who sprain their backs to make the wheels go round. The ped dlers to our village trek and then they disappear, and little, little do they reck what problems wo may fear; but ,1. Augustus is on deck all through the fateful vcar. . .1 , m MKIU'OIM) MAIL TRIIUrNi:, .any attempt to dictate policies across! j 'he r.ea. can only lead to mischief. I 'rile opinion In Washington seems to, ' be if Kni;)and. and France and Italy ;k ... ,1 hegemony in Kurope, let them light, i but let them abandon the Idea of American assistance or opposition. I.et it be said here and now that !)0 I per cent of the S00 newspaper men at j the arms parley are bored to death. j The first burst of speed has entirely disappeared. For a lime there was intense enthusiasm and interest. The newspaper men were the most ravor ed and Important group in Washing- teu. Hut teas and receptions and speeches have lost their punch. Ev ery delegation talked about how peaceful it was, how high minded and disinterested,' but when it came down to cases, there was and is nothing but generalities, which are not even glit tering.. Many of the out of town cor- tespoudciils are already packing up to go home. W. J. Ilryan, who has enjoyed himself Immensely, hob nobbing w:th Chief Justice Taft, and filling locnl pulpits, is reported to he slated for u stateroom on the Florida Limited. The general impression U that with Hriand's departure, and with Lloyd George not coming at all, the circus is really over, and aside from an agreement to reduce naval armaments, nothing will he done. Or course this is a real achievement, but It isn't good copy. . The fine points of arniameuts, interest naval experts, they don't particularly interest tho people,. So at the present moment there Is a dead calm in the press gal lery. Kveryone wants to gift home and prepare for Christinas with the children. v Went to a movie the other night depicting among other things the bat tle of .liitland. Three Frenchmen sat next to me and Jabbered in their na tive tongue. The movie was under the direction of a British naval offi cer, and at the end, a picture of King George was flashed on the screen. As the reutures of the ltritish mon arch appeared there was scattered ap plause, but my three Gallic neigh bors proceeded to hiss, then arose and walked out. 1 Also attended an after the theater supper In an abandoned factory loft a la Bohemia. The affair nearly broke up when n southern beauty re cently returned from Kurope, declar ed that everyouu over there said the next war would bo between Kngland and France. A young ICngllsh cap tain, who distinguished himself ill the late war, by fortifying the water holes in South Africa and preventing a Boer rebellion, took exception to the statement, and verbal fur flew M'or several moments. TliCBo Incidents simply illustrate, that (he strained relations between France and Kngland, are not confin ed to the diplomats. The antago nism runs through tho rank Vnd file and brings Into sharp rolief the most unpleasant feature In lnterna tlJSial relations today., SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 2. Marshal Ferdinand Foeli's special train was on Its way southward through Oregon to day. Operating stops are scheduled at Hoseliurg and Medford, and the Cali fornia boundary will he crossed before nightfall If no delays are experienced. Tomorrow the French military hero and his party will reach San Fran- Cisco.
