US. to Have Army of 4,000,000
Men by January 1.
— —O--------
W ashington, June i8.—The present
schedule of th< War Department is
said to contemplate the arming of
4,000,000 men by next January I. That
would mean the calling of 1,000,000
men between July and January, and
the absorbing not only of the men re­
maining in class r from the first reg­
istration, but of those placed in that
class under the recent registration, as
well as some 200,000 expected to be
put in that class as a result of the re­
classification recently ordered.
Should Congress' clpcitfe that it is
necessary at this tittle to' extend the
draft age limits below 21 and above
jo, or both, no opposition will be of­
fered by the War Department.
In authorizing this statement today
Secretary' Baker sit hl the department
could see no immediate infeed for such
action, although the date already is in
sight when it will become necessary
to replenish the Class 1 reservior.
A bill by Senator Erance of Mary­
land to extend the draft to men from
18 to 45 is now before the Senate mili­
tary committee, and at a hearing on it
last Saturday, Provost Marshal-Gen­
eral Crowder gave it as his opinion
that extension of the draft age would
br nicessary.
All previous statements of the de­
partment relating to manpower have
been based solely upon the men in
Class 1. General Crowder stated spec­
ifically in his report on the first draft
that it would be the policy of his de­
partment to refrain from touching the
other classes.
No Man can Serve Two Masters.
Another warning to pro-enemy nat­
uralized citizens comes from Newark,
•where the former postmaster of
Lakeview, N. J., has just been tried
before Judge Haight of the United
States district court. Judge Ha:ght
has deprived this man of his citizen­
ship papers, which he had held for 35
years. He was charged with disloyalty
The defendant made no denial of the
stories of his disloyalty told by wit­
nesses, but asserted, through his at­
torney, that his present state of mind
could have no bearings on the spirit
in which he was naturalized 35 years
ago.
To those who think lightly that
argument might carry some weight
Judge Haight readily showed its
emptiness. He said.
‘‘If, therefore, after 35 years, he now
recognizes an allegiance to the sover­
eignty of his origin, superior to his
allegiance to this country, it seems to
me that that it is not only permissible
to infer from that fact, but that the
conclusion is irresistible that at the
lime he took the oath of renunciation
he did so with a mental reservation
as to the country of his birth, and re­
tained toward that country an alleg­
iance which the laws of this country
required him to renounce before he
could become one of its citizens. In­
deed, for the reason just stated, his
allegiance to the former must at that
time has 2 been stronger than it is at
present. Whatever presumption might
otherwise arise in his favor front the
apparent fact that during the inter­
vening years he has lived as a good
citizen of this country is of no weight
when it is considered that nothing has
happened during that time to call
forth a manifestation of his reserved
allegiance, and as soon as something
did happen, i, e, the war between this
country and Germany, he immediat­
ely manifested it."
.
There can be no such thing as loy­
alty to a country of which you are a
citizen when you arc loyal to an en­
emy country. When one become a
citizen of a country he becomes a
definite, responsible part of that
country and may be called to serve it
actively at any time it may need his
services. American citizens who wire
¡»orn in any of the enemy countries
would better consider well what
Judge Haight has said. This is said to
be the second time in the history ot
the United States when naturalization
papers of a foreign-born citizen base
been revoked. Other revocations may
easily follow.
A means of making use of the elec­
tric magnet under water has been de­
vised in Japan, and it promises to be
of great assistance in locating sunken
vessels, to recover which salvage op­
erations on a big scale are expected
after the war.

Ireland's Part in the War.
Ireland prosperous by English leg­
islation, fat, largely unscathed of the
burdens of the war, and hitherto, by
¡the weakness of „good nature of the
British government, exempted from
conscription, is playing an inglorious
a contemptible, part, while the trag­
edy of the nations goes on. If Ire­
land has not home rule whose fault
is it but that of Irishmen? Let them
agree among themselves. Their quar­
rels cannot be allowed to obstruct or
endanger the common cause of free
civilization.
Meanwhile the pro-German antics
of the more violent Sinn Feincrs have
disgusted American eyes, sympathetic
with home rule, but seeing the folly
and the criminality of the Irish “re­
publicans” who conspire or connive
with Germany. An Irish “freedom”
and "independence” founded on Ger­
man support are more than treason
to Great Britian. It is treason against
the orderly freedom which the great
free nations defend against Germany.
Here, where the aspirants of Irish­
men in Ireland for self-government
have long found a general support,
there arc few besides the negligible
“soap box" contingent who do not
see with sorrow and anger the refusal
of so many Irishmen to fight by the
side of men of their blood from the
United States, Great Britian and the
dominion for free government. Let
them show that they deserve self-
government by defending it.
A Toast to Dad.

A bow I make to my friend Dad!
The best’st chum I’ve ever had;
An’ gee! It’s fun to hear 'im say,
“Come kid, and’ hike with me today.”
Of course 1 say, perlite like. “Yes.”
How much 1 mean it, who can guess
Bettcr’n my Dad—fur don’t you see,
He wuz a boy onc’tjjus' like me!
Ma makes our lunch, quicker’n scat
We're on our way—my how we chat!
He know the most lot funny jokes,
Dad—well—he's not like other folks!
An’ when he frowns an’ says cross like
“Say kid, tell me abore we hike,
Who braked the winder, nicked the
door,
Chalked the house”—an’—an’—whole

1 twis‘ my coat—fool ‘ith my collar,
Swaller’n—swallcr’n—s waller,
btan’ firs’ on one foot, then on 'tother;
“Who toF you Dad, sez 1—did moth­

An' then he walks along—as slow—
An' makes 'is voice soun’ sad an' low,
You bet I hate my sneakin’ trick.
An' ’fess my sins—most offul quick.
An’ he yells—"look down the road—
A rabbit—take my gun an’ load!”
He lets me shoot!—gee, an't I glad,
My pa f'rgivcs me i\hen I’m bad?

If 1 waz big. He don't say so,
But I'm jus’ sure he’d let me go!
He sez a uniform w’ud be
Becom’in to a lad like me;

If 1 was big, you bet I'd fight!
So here I'll end my to'st to Dad,

Notice Served on Mill Company.
------ o------
District Attorney T. H, Goyne, act­
ing in conjunction with the county
court, has notified the Coats Lumber
Co., to remove the lumber from the
county road, by addressing the fol­
lowing letter to the lumber company:
Tillamook, Ore., June 15, 1918.
Mr. Oscar Schultz,
Manager of A. F. Coats Lbr. Co.
Tillamook, Oregon.
Dear Sir.—Complaint
has been
made to me that the A. F. Coats
Lumber Company, of which you are
manager, has been for some time past
blockading and obstructing the coun­
ty road beginning at the north boun­
dary of Tillamook City, Oregon, and
extending along such road in north­
erly direction, for a considerable dis­
tance, by depositing large quantities
of lumber thereon and allowing such
lumber to remain in and upon the
same and by unloadiing and loading
of lumber by your teams, vehicles and
men at such places.
I understand that you claim to have
a right to do so by virtue of authority
or instruction which you have receiv­
ed from the United States officials,
because you ar.e engaged in manufac­
turing lumber for the government. If
you have any such instructions or au­
thority, you arc hereby requested to
submit a copy thereof to me as soon
as it is practicable for you to do so.
While it is the purpose of myself
and the county court of this county
that nothing shall be done to hinder
the government in expediating the
manufacture of lumber, or any other
commodity required by it in the pros­
ecution of the present war, yet, it is
the opinion of such court and of my­
self as well, that it is wrong.and en­
tirely unnecessary for you to obstruct
the county road mentioned, for the
following reasons.
1. Such road is the only county road
available to the public in traveling to
and from Tillamook City in a north­
erly direction, and this affects all of
the travel of the whole of Tillamook
County lying north of Tillamook City.
2. Your company owns land abut­
ting the county road aforesaid at the
places which you arc obstructing the
same, upon which you can easily
place any and all lumber which you
are now, or which you may be in the
| future, called upon to manufacture
for the United States Government,
| with very little expense to your com­
pany.
3. There is a good sized tract of land
adjoining and abutting the said coun­
ty road on the Hoquarton Slough and
your mill property which we feel sure
would be available for you to use for
the purposes mentioned belonging to
Mr. F. R. Beals, of this county, pro­
vided you would pay him a reasonable
rental therefor; or which he would no
doubt sell to you for such purpose, as
he is making no use whatever of the
same; or which, if it becomes neces­
sary, the United States government
might condemn for such purpose, in
case a price could not be agreed upon
between your company and Mr Beals.
4. There is a large amount of travel
upon said road at such place, and ve­
hicles of all kinds are very frequently
and continuously obliged to pass each
other at the places obstructed as afor-
mentioned, in addition to the constant
use of said road day and night by
your employees, teams, trucks, etc.,
and by your unloadinig and loading
the lumber upon such road.
5. Such obstructions are exceeding­
ly dangerous to all persons traveling
such road at such places, and unless
the same are removed, it is certain to
result in accidents which will cause
the loss of life or injury to such per­
sons, and the destruction
of their
property.
For the
reasons mentioned, it
become my duty as district attorney
of this county, and you are hereby
noified, to immediately remove any
and all such obstructions from said
county road, or a criminal action will
be brought against you for a violation
of the laws of Oregon in such cases
made and provided.
Yours very respectfully,
T. H. Goyne,
District Attorney.

Why is it that United States Tires
are setting new records for mileage
and serviceability ?
Why is it that the sales of these
tires are constantly mounting by
leaps and bounds ?
The answer is found in the fac­
tories where United States Tires are
made.
Standards of construction for
these tires are higher than ever be­
fore known in the tire industry.
Makers of tire fabrics tell us that
the standards we have given them
for United States Tire fabrics are
higher than any previously known.
Likewise through every process
of construction from crude rubber
to finished tires—we have set new
and higher standards everywhere.
These standards work out on your
car in the practical economy de­
manded by war-times.
United States Tires will raise any
car to higher efficiency.
There is a type to suit every con­
dition of service.
The nearest United States Sales
and Service Depot dealer will cheer­
fully aid in selecting right tires for
your requirements.
