ENCOURAGING BUT NOT' DECISIVE
It is encouraging news from the Western front, but
that is all that can be said of it. General Haig's army and
the' French have made a hard drive and gained some 30
square miles of territory, but it is still a long way to
Berlin. The dispatches say if the allies can break through
far enough they will endanger the German base of naval
supplies on the North Sea. This is no doubt true but then
there is that "if" in the way. It is sincerely hoped they
may do this, but the history of the drive this summer
whil? showing gains and one "strategic retreat," does not
give confidence in the ability of the allies to break through
the German defense. As a matter of fact the Germans
still outnumber the allied troops on this front, and it is

British front greater than any since the war began, and
the result shows that at last the allies are better equip
ped than their opponents. In this respect the situation
has been reversed since the war started, as has nearly
everything else. One of the greatest gains is in the in
creased confidence of the allies, and the learning by the
Germans that they are not invincible. At the start they
Wept everything before them and thought they could do
so continuously. They have learned their mistake and
tlie learning of it has not added to their self complacency.
What ever the result of the prese.it drive, it has pushed
the Germans still further back both from their trenches
and from their sureness of victory. Such drives also tend
to weaken the hopes of the German people who will find
it hard to believe they are marching to victory by re
treating, and bringing the battlefields that much nearer
, home. The moral effect is as great as the physical gains
and if it should happen the naval base on the North sea
was cut off it would be a blow hard for Germany to sur
vive. While this defeat was taking place the kaiser was
making his address to his people on the beginning of the
fourth year of the war, haading them the same talk his
henchmen have peddled, to the effect that the allies, ana
England especially, were hungering for German land, and
desired to take possession of the country. This is getting
to be an old story but it still passes muster and perhaps
will continue to do so for some time yet.
President Wilson Tucker of the Washington bar asso
ciation at a recent meeting of that bt-dy said among other
things that the profession was over crowded and that
"if 50 per cent of the lawyers were engaged in some,pther
occupation general welfare would be improved, the public
happier and the lawyer better off." No well informed
person will disagree with him except as to the per cent.
Most laymen would be disposed to place the per cent of
those who should be engaged in some useful pursuit con
siderably higher than Mr. Tucker placed it It is rather
unique such a statement coming from a lawyer, and still
more remarkable, it is true. It is the most crowded of all
the professions, and when the courts begin deciding cases
according to their merits, rather than because some other
court held certain opinions in some previous case, it will
be still more crowded.
The engines and machinery for the pile driver and
the bridge work that went to the bottom of the river the
other night have been fished out and are on the barges
again. One bent for the approach is also in place at the
west end of the bridge. This is not much but it is a start,
and the start was what was causing so much worry be
cause without it the finish was so remotely distant.
The hot wave still waves in the eastern states, New
York getting an especially large lot of breakers of it.
Washington too had plenty and wp.s still having it last
night. Further west rains cooled the atmosphere and at
the same time helped save the crops. Chicago reported a
breeze starting up at noon and apparently the backbone
of the hot spell is broken so far as the west is concerned.
even a hint that work on it will commence this year. The
people of the city, the business people, have it in their own
hands to compel the road to treat the city fairly, but so
far no concerted effort has been made along this line and
until there is such an effort, .the new depot will consist
largely of blue print and nothing else. There is an old
saying that a bird that can sing and won't sing must be
made to tune up. It the southern I'acific is determnied
to ignore Salem, Salem should show a little civic, pride
and ignore the Southern racilic. w
The way of the slacker will be full of bumps and stum
bling places. It is so already. ' If he undertook to hide
behind a skirt and chased himself along with some un-
I fortunate woman to the hymenial altar to avoid the draft
he will be punished as a slacker just the same and as one
pf the most despicable kind. The punishment for all
classes of them is to be one that fits the crime. As found
guilty they will b egiven the numbers of the first men
exempted and so be right at the head of the drafted ones.
By undertaking to dodge they get a seat in the band
wagon and a certainty of having to serve. This is a
genuine case of making the punishment fit the crime.
Portland believes in advertising. It very sensibly lets
the I. W. Ws. know the rock pile is ready, a good supply
of hammers provided and the largo bunk house cleaned
out and ready for their reception. Then it very properly
dismisses the bunch from its mind realizing there will
few if any show up to take advantage of the opportunity.

her full quota for the first draft, is still busy and sending

Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Holland
and .Switzerland have been growing
rich toeding ticrmany either with Am
ericnn products reshipried. or with their
own, which they have replenished from
America, the amount of supplies shin
ped by these little countires into Ger
many is amazing and the tremendous
growth of imports from America since
the war bean cannot be accounted for
in any other way.
Denmark offers -an example. Cocoa
imports nave increased rom HiOU tons

lWlb. cocoa is used by the Germans not
only for food, but tho oil is extracted
for explosives. Bacon, lard, oleo oil,
cottonseed cake a.nd linseed imports in
creased in some cases seventy two times
over normal importation. The excess
went to Germany. i
Prom 8000 to io,000 head of cattle

all fattened on imported fodder. A
special train daily carries fresh milk
poultry, eggs and f iHh from Copenhagen
to Berlin, yhips of the Danish Shipping
company carrying supplies irom tne
Tnited Mates have beeu let alone bv

The case of Xorway is less acute than
that of Denmark, for Norwegians have
generally sympathized with the allies,
and Norweginn commerce has been bad
ly crippled by U-boats still Norwe
gians have grown rich supplying food
to Germany, and imports show a phe
nomenal increase the surplus over nor
mal going, of course, to Germany.
The embargo Will stop this. When
the neutrals realize the situation, they
will have to keep their food supplies
themselves and German armies will no
longer be fattened upon American food.
SUBMARINES MISSED HER.
The amendment referred to was a
rider which Senator McNary proposed
to tack onto the food control bill. It
was legislation of a special character
and for a special sectioi which had
no immediate relation to tho vital and
all-absorbing question of the conserva
tion of the nation's food supply.
Had it been introduced as a separate
bill it would have unquestionably rc
oeivsd the enthusiastic and unqualified
suport of Senator-Chamberlain.. Inject
ed as it wag into the food control legis
lation it threatened to delay its pass
age and possibly .defeat one of the
most necessary and urgent pieces of
war legislation presented during the
present Bession of congress.
Bills for meritorious irrigation pro
jects in western states, like those for
the improvement of toy streams and
the erection of federal buildings in
doubtful districts, must stand on their
merits, and not be plastered onto the
war bills, it' their friends expect the
support which they otherwise might de
serve. The food control bill was in personal
charge of Senator Chamberlain. He was
the author and represented the adminis
tration on the floor of the senate. It
was a great mid important piece, of na
tional legislation which had been en
trusted to his chargeDelay would have
been disastrous and failure a crime. He
could not afford to muddy tho waters.
He could not play to western galleries
without endangering legislation which
au'eeted directly and indirectly tlie
lives of one hundred million people. He
therefore chose to give the country
what it was clamoring for a food bill,
