One thing is sure, and that is that the women in con ference at The Hague cannot make a more dismal failure than the trained diplomats of Europe have done. The fraternal visit of several prominent Portland commercial club workers to Salem tonight should be made the occasion of a large gathering of our progres sive citizens. These men have a message to deliver; they will tell how a community may be brought together and all its varied interests united in a movement for the ac complishment of bigger and better things.

Rosoburg Review:, J. 15. Harper, who lives' at the end of Sixth street, in North Eoseburg, is the owner of a calf having but three egs. The calf was born a few days ago and is apparently as healthy ns its more fortunate brothers and sisters. The animal has but one front leg, which is somewhat larger than the leg of a normal calf. The hind legs of the calf are perfect. The calf displays no ill-effects as a re sult of its deformity, and Mr. Harper believes it will survive with proper at tention. The calf is attracting consid erable attention and is highly prized by its owner.

NOT TIME FOR PEACE In spite of Lord Kitchener's declaration that "the war will only begin on May 1," most people are hoping, if not: ptaying, that a decided advantage, one way or the other,' may soon bring negotiations for peace. j Put, unless an advantage on one side or the other be; very decided and decisive, it is not likely that any peace' established now could prove permanent. Nobody will accuse Charles W. Eliot, the venerable and venerated president emeritus of Harvard, of being of a war-like nature. War itself is to Dr. Eliot -an abomination. Wanton beginning of war is to his mind a moral as well ns physical atrocity. Yet he tells Baptist clergymen that when nations and races are being sledge-' hammered all over Europe it is no time for them to pray: for peace at any price. They must fight not for a sudden1 cessation of the war under conditions that would set1 civilization back by centuries, but for the right terms of; final and permanent peace. I All men of clear vision, in the war and out of it, will ;gree with Dr. Eliot that it is good doctrine and good sense for those in the pulpit as well as for those on the! battlefield. I The hone of the women who have called the Inter-' national Woman's conference at The Hague is that a '-l KOi"B ,w lead towards peace, no matter from how humble a source.' may find a response among the nations as the months of i weary futile slaughter drag on. It is not altogether a wild hope.
