Phone Main 81. ONE HUNDRED DAY BATTLE The most terrific struggle struggle of the whole war is that now going on at Verdun. Yesterday was the hundredth day since the battle began and it has continued almost without rest ever 'since. Its losses have been ap palling and so far but little has been accomplished. The Germans are apparently making a supei human ef fort to smash the French defenses, and to accomplish this have gathered a million men, so the dispatches state, and these it is hurling in solid columns against their enemies in a desperate attempt to utterly crush them. Human life has not been considered, is not being taken thought of, the sole aim being to conquer, and the death list has broken all records for a single battle, for such it practically is. ' , Night and day there has been a continuous rain of lead and iron until the earth itself is ploughed, torn and ground to dust by it. In the last two or three days the French have been forced back in places, but every foot gained has cost a wealth of lives. They say they may have to retire still further, but do not seem at all alarmed at the situation, relying on the miles of trenches behind them to which they can retire, and which are almost as impregnable as Verdun itself. The French government is confident the Germans will wear themselves out and be utterly exhausted long before they can force their way through the trenches between them and Paris. The dispatches yesterday said the Germans had drawn heavily from the Russian front, and also from the Aus trian for this great attack. If this is true, and the Rus sians take advantage of it, it is liable to cause the kaiser some worry, for he cannot let the Russians regain their lost ground in Poland, without endangering his empire. Bloody history will be written this summer but whether it will chronicle a German or Allied victory re mains to be seen. To the observer on this side of the big pond the result of the great conflict is as much in "doubt now as- it ever was. - Colonel Roosevelt in his speech at Kansas City Tues day most vitrolically assailed President Wilson for his foreign policy, and placed himself on record as to what he would have done had he been president at the time the war broke out. Speaking of the over-running of Belgium by the Germans he said: "I believe in international duty. I hold that we cannot assert that we are entirely guiltless of responsibility for the outrages committed on well behaved nations, especial ly Belgium, and on non-combatants, particularly on wo men and children, in the present war. "Prior to the war we had become parties to the various conventions and treaties designed to mitigate the horrors of war, and to limit the offenses that can with impunity be committed by belligerents on either neutrals or non combatants. When we declined to take any action under 'hese conventions and treaties, we ourselves treated them ; as scraps of paper. Could he have more plainly stated that had he been (president he would have .attempted to -force the United j States to take part in the, war in order to protect the I neutrality of Belgium? No other inference car. be drawn from his statement. j At the same time he insists he wants bigger armies and larger navies for defense, and for the maintainence of I peace only. If this is what the Colonel meant by his statement, and no other meaning seems possible, then it was indeed a matter of profound congratulation that he was not at the head of the government two years ago. If his leadership would have been so dangerous to the country then, what would it be if we had a strong army and navy and allowed j him to play with it? How dangerous would he be to the country once the preparedness program is carried out and the power to use this force placed in his hands? His speech answers the question. i & ! Clear, Peachy Skin Awaits Anyone Who Drinks Hot Water ! Says an inttde bath, before break fast help us look and feel clean, tweet, fresh, The Capital Journal will assist in the movement for better homes and better food by promoting a cooking school next week. It will be free and Mrs. Vaughn and her co-laborers are among the foremost workers in this field in the United States. This week the same people are conducting their school in Portland under the auspices of the Oregonian and that paper reports an attendance of 1500 women at the afternoon lectures and demonstra tions, the audience packing the building to the doors. We trust that the women of Salem will be equally apprecia tive of Mrs. Vaughn's splendid work in a field where there is room for so much progress along intelligent, practical lines. Both Hughes and his secretary remain silent on all political subjects, neither affirming nor denying any of the countless rumors flying around about Mr. Hughes and his candidacy. As a candidate he can safely be classed as the sphynx, and that is a character no politician has ever be fore essayed, though Grant came near it. Teddy is try ing hard to "smoke him out," but so far unsuccessfully. Hughes is some slinger of harsh English himself should he get waked up, and it would certainly make interesting reading sholud he try his tongue or pen on the strenuous one. It may yet develop into a triangular battle with. Wil son, Hughes and Roosevelt in the midst of it Sparkling ar:l vivai-inus merry, bright, alert good, clear skin an.

June is here now and it is hoped has brought a little sunshine and warmth with her. It is only three weeks until the sun will have reached its farthest northing and will begin his journey back to where Christmas lives. Let us hope the month will set down on the fuel dealer for a short time and give the long neglected iceman a chance. Umatilla county's sherilV, Till Taylor is to be, as it were, king consort to Queen Muriel, of the Portland Rose carnival. The king is to wear a cowboy costume and use a riata as a scepter. It is rather a freakish idea, though the sheriff will no doubt be a great improvement on many that are in the king row. Still a sombrero and stern wheel spurs do not fit the average idea of royalty. Hitchcock by his course at Chicago shows how much mischief a meddling friend can do, without intending it. He, according to his own statement, is acting without Mr. Hughes' knowledge or consent; yet he gets to the front and places Hughes in the light of an avowed candidate for the presidency, a thing that gentleman has tried most strenuously to avoid. All business stopped in St. Paul yesterday for a time while the funeral of the late "Jim" Hill was under way. At the same time if the governor's request was complied with, North Dakota business stopped for two hours. All trains on the Hill lines stopped five minutes and the big steamers on the Pacific and the Lakes stopped their en gines for the same length of time. Under proclamation of the governor of Minnesota all flags were placed at half mast during the day. It was a fine tribute and well deserved. Laerbes Rsowrddes hurled three bricks through the windows of the W. K. Vanderbilt residence in New York City yesterday, thinking it was the Rockefeller mansion. It is not to be wondered at that he made the mistake as his mind was fully occupied trying to remember how to spell his name. Dallas Power Manager Goes to Marshfield, (Capital Journal Special Service.) Dallas. Ore.. June I. A. T.. Martin. . local manager of the Oregon Power com pany, left yesterday for Marshfield, where he has been promoted by the above company. Mr. Martin has heen i in Dallas for the past ton years and : has made many v.arm friends who re-, gret very much to see him leave. Since coming to tins city he has been one of its most ardent boosters and is at pres ent the president of the Dallas Commer cial club. He is also a director of the I.tifreole club and a member of the i executive committee of the Polk coun ! ty fair. Mr. Martin will.be succeeded in this city by R. V.

They will never be able to raise flowers enough to decorate all the graves they have now, let alone those still in the making. Colonel Roosevelt in his speech at St. Louis said "Never use a word unless you mean it." According to this Teddy "means" the entire English vocabulary and is "some meaner." Observes Memorial Day. Appropriate exercises in honor of those who gave their lives for their country in the Civil war were held in this city yesterday inornltij; at the arm ory. The parade headed by the Dallas band and consisting (if the local G. A. R. post and their wives, Company I., O. N.

' ' ' Southern Pacific Sued. N. C. Swanson has sued the Southern Pacific company for .112."ilt to tveover damages for the killing of a horse and calf by an engine of the company. The railroad pases through Mr. Swan son's place east of this city and the right of way is not fenced at that noint. The railway company claims that the public -service commission granted it permission to leave the track there without a fence and that therefore it is not liable tor damages. The case will come up before Justice Hardy Holman within a few da vs. to Cincinnati and then to 8an Fran cisco. This season he has been out ot professional baseball and has bee pitching for the Salem team. Dallas Team Defeated.

A little grayer than last year, a little slower in my gait, I feel the dump is drawing near, ana sun i keep my smile on straight. A little failure of my sight; a bit more deaf ness in my ears; a few more aches but that's all right! I would not stop the scud ding years. My bald spot is a bit more wide, my muscles grow a trifle slack; I have more stitches in my side, a few more clicks are in my back. But yonder vault of azure bends above no gladder heart than mine, for all about me there are friends, who keep an old gent feeling fine. Their Jund words make my bosom swell, and fill my piebald eyes with tears; they tell me I am looking well, and hope I'll live a hundid years. A few more symptoms of the gout have vainly tried to kill my joy; a few more teeth have fallen out, but I'm as happy as a boy. - V 'X . x; MANY OREGON WOMEN SAY THE SAME.
