McClure, publisher of the magazine of that name, was in Portland recently and lectured on "The Relations of Japan and the United States." He has just returned from the Orient and speaks from personal observation of the Japanese and Chinese. He also visited the European countries and studied conditions pertaining to the war. He predicts the war will end within a year or 18 months, basing his prediction on steady failure which will within that time cause the losing of all hope by the Central powers. He also quotes Count Terauchi, whom he classes as "the ablest man at the head of any government be between Washington ana London, travel ing west, who said: "The war will be won when America has 2,000,000 men on the west front unless Germany should throw up the sponge before that time." These predictions have much to bear them out. Germany has but two things on which to base any hope and these are of doubtful value except as something with which to de ceive the German people. They are the submarines, which have not proved a success, and the failure of Russia to hold fast until American forces are available in France. The submarines will not win and the leaders in Germany know it. As to Russia, the elements are with us, for win ter is due which will put an end to military operations for six months at least on the Russian frontier and give the new government a chance to get itself together; and at the same time it will permit many American troops being made ready and placed on the ground. Undoubtedly too, the placing of an embargo on food stuffs to neutral countries has been a severe blow to the Central powers, since it has cut off sadly needed supplies. The kaiser and his leaders know they cannot win and so are playing for any kind of a peace that will still leave them in power. That is all that prevents the war ending now. If the allies will consent to any peace with the Hohenzollerns still in power, oV,nnt f Vio anvvpnrlpr of Alsace may be done in the way of making Bulgaria let go of what she has grabbed. Jtiis crouDies wnrrvine about anyone's else, his own. Benjamin C. Reed, 68 years old and former tax col lector and treasurer of the town of Whitman, Massachus etts, who was generally known as "Honest Ben," after pleading guilty to the larceny of town funds in the sum of $25,000, is doing time in the house of correction, being sentenced for two years. He was surely a good fellow with a heart tender for the feelings of others, and a hand willing to help all friends in distress. He stated he took the money not for his own use but "to pay taxes for his friends." Could generosity and friendship go further? He simply marked their taxes paid, not getting the money, but trusting those he accommodated for it. Like most other good fellows he discovered, too late, that the other supposedly "good fellow" were such only to themselves, and having used him left him holding the empty sack. He has two years to think it over in, and to muse on the un reliability of man. He will also have time to reckon the cost of being a "good fellow'' with someone's else money. It was the open season for zeppelins in France Satur day, five of them being bagged out of a flock that had raided London and was on its way home. This brings up the question as to what should be done with the survivors, if any, from one of these raiders that had just been dropping bombs on non-combatants. It would seem they should be treated the same as any other pirates. Reports from the American army somewhere in France indicate that the subscriptions to the liberty loan will be such as to make many at home ashamed of their sluggish ness. It is indicated the boys at the front are not afraid to trust Uncle Sam and that the total of their subscrip tions will run into the millions. LADD & BUSH.

With all prices soaring the movie will be one of the things that can be gotten along without; for while it is a pleasure it is not a necessity, and it will most likely be one of the first things to be cut out in the interest of economy. The raise in price will probably be followed by a falling off in attendance. As showing the vastness of small things in an aggregate, it is expected that the ten per cent tax on admissions to the movies will yield the government $60,000,000. If States pays out yearly for This would build a fleet of year, it would almost build would, at $50,000 a mile build and equip 12,000 miles of railroad, or it would build and equip a railroad clear around the border of the United States. It would pay as army of a million men $50 a month for a year. It illus trates the greatness and the tremendous wealth of the country when this vast sum can be spent on just one com mon amusement. Bringing the matter closer home it would build and launch a fleet of wooden ships at a cost of $250,000 each numbering 2,400. It would at a cost of $2,000 each build for the Southern Pacific 300,000 freight cars which at fifty feet to the car would reach 15,000,000 feet, or from Portland via Los Angeles in a continuous string to New Orleans, or by cutting out fifty, cars would allow the Southern Pacific to erect a $100,000 depot at Salem. It is cheering to note that among those whose lives were sacrificed in the sinking of the American transport Antilles by a Germai submarine, were many whose birth place was Germany, and who were loyal to their oaths of allegiance. It is pleasing despite the death of the gallant fellows, because it shows that the great masses of Ger mans in America are as loyal as though born here. It is the supreme test when renouncing allegiance to the country of their birth these brave fellows were called up on to take up arms in defense of the country of their adoption and against that of their birth. It-is pleasing further because it shows that though born under the most despotic government, they understood the blessings of liberty, appreciated American institutions and the spirit of equality, and were among the first to, respond to the call for service. They went down to their deaths, sent there by the act of their countrymen, and while bravely working for the freedom of all mankind and more than all of the freedom of the German people" themselves. Americans consume sugar at the rate of seven and a half pounds per capita a month. The French are getting along with about two pounds. There is enough sugar in this country to supply the regular amount until the next crop is due, and the only question is whether we shall use our full quota and let others go without, or cut our ration and let our allies over in Europe have some. By cutting our consumption one-third we can put .both England and France in as good position as we are as, regards sugar. By cutting off one-third of our consumption we would have 250,000,000 pounds, 125,000 tons a month for the other fellows across the pond. ; Germany is also having a coal famine. Like America she has plenty of it in her mines but is unable to get it out. It is some satisfaction to know the other fellow is no bet ter off than ourselves. The Russian government is moving to Moscow and the kaiser will be both brave and foolish if he attempts to follow it there. Napoleon tried it, but the way back was beset with many dicffiulties, and it was "never again" for Bony. i Rippling t by Walt HEARTRENDING It must be trying to the soul to do at home one's peaceful stunt, and hear each day the query droll, "Why aren't you fighting at the front?" Perhaps the stay-at-home can spring a reason why he spills no gore, but it must jar like everything to tell that reason o'er and o'er. The matrons view him with disdain, as for the soldier boys they knit; their glances say, "Your life is vain why don't you try to do your bit? The bloom ing damsels coldly gaze upon the friendless, outcast wights, and sigh, "Well have no truck with jays who stay at home when brave men fight." The children see him If I ity pass their school, and cry aloud, a ribald horde, "The corkscrew is this slacker's tool, while other young men ply the sword." He may have reasons good as wheat for staying home and baling hay, while martial neighbors go to meet the prune-fed Prussians in the fray; but who will listen while he tells the reason why he doesn't go?

Margaret Garrett's Husband 4 By JANE PHELPS MORBID THOUGHTS AND ACTIONS CHAPTEB XXXIX. It may be that I was a poor judge of human nature, but it seemed to me that the force which drew Bobert Gar rett and me together and mated us was aa natural and irresistible as the force that moves the world. My love threw around our life an im possible glamour. I always saw the fu ture, spent with Bob, aa rainbow tinted. My imagination pictured our life to gether as one long season of blissful living for each other; with no room for outside entanglements. But Bob 's world, the world which in terested and appealed to him was an alien one. Each day it was impressed upon mo more' and more. Usually when Bob had in any way distressed me; when he had remained away from me for any reason, I had anxiously watched for his return. But now often it had be come an effort to appear natural; and it was with a sullen spirit that I greet ed him. Often his very eagerness, coup led with that bright look on his face. intensified my resentment at his being able to enjoy himself apart Irom me. Once when ho was telling me of some thing which had interested him and John Kendall, something for which I cared nothing, I stopped him: "Oh, do stop! I've heard enough!" "I'm sorry, I thought you would be interested." "I don't see why you should!" I snapped, "I never made any pretense" "Weil," Bob answered deliberately, "It might bo better if you did take some interest better for both of us." ' ' No Bob. I have told you I don 't care for these friends of yours; for the things they did." "I'm sorry, Margaret." "Oh, that's what you always say 'you're sorry!' if that's the measure of your love, I call it simply gratifying your selfish desires. I never am happy unless you are with me to share things. But you" I stopped it was the first time that I had ever hinted that Bob did not care for me as I did for him, and I knew even as I said it that I didnt' believe myself. He loved me, I was his wife, Wo simply had dif ferent ideas of certain things. I must be more patient; I would in time win Bob over. The psychology of woman's love- is always a mystery. Each woman likes to think her man is str ng, courageous, but that he is her slave in the intim ate things of marriage. Some T,'omen when they are disappointed in having their own way with a man, will still mother him with a love akin to pity, some seek and love auothcr; while others merely weep and wail their trou ble away. I was not made of the stuff that does any of these things. I would in the end have my own way with Bob. That, I never for a moment doubt ed; and I would have it because of iny intense love for him which he must recognize as the greatest thing in my life and in his. "I have been very unhappy, Bob," I told him when we went upstairs after spending the evening on the porch with father and mother. "I'm sorry, what about I" "I wish you'd stop saying, 'I'm sor ry ' it 's getting on my nerves. ' ' "Well what was it about!" "Because you remained away from me. I couldn 'i eat any dinner last night and stayed up here alone all the even ing. ' Bob suppressed and impatient excla mation, waited a moment, then said: "That was as you chose." "That was as you chose." "No, Bob, I didn't choose. You did that for me." "I don't understand your reason ing!" impatiently, he answered. "You know I am not happy, unless you arc with, me; that I never have "a good time without you. I felt too badlv to eat; too lonely to talk to any one. 'You punished me severely while you were enjoying yourself." "You are morbid, Margaret." "No, I am not morbid. I love my husband that's aU; and want his so ciety. If I can't have it I'll stay by myself until h see fit to become my companion." "Nonsense!" ' "It is not nonsense, from now on I shall neither eat nor see anyone when you remain away from me for your own selfish pleasure. If you can have a good time under such conditions, you are a different, wan from the one I married. ' ' "But, Margaret" 'We won't discuss it, Bob. You know now just how I feel, what course I shall take. Knowing this I certainly shall expect you to be with me unless business calls you elsewhere." Then as I noted his scowling face. I added: "You know that I love you devotedly; you love me just as well, don't you Bob, darling" and I flung my arms around his neck and pressed my lips to his. "It must be awful to be married to a man who doesn't care for you!" as I repeated over and over again the words of love I always used; and gave the caresses I supposed welcome because I' myself loved so dearly to be caressed. Strangely, at this time I never thought Bob's caresses were forced; that he gave them only because i de manded it. Yet now as I look back 1 think he cared for me. There was no one else- of that I am sure.

Company i May Get Full $200 From City Although the city council voted to expend $200 for tho entertainment of the boys of Company M while in the city Saturday, the patriotic women of the city figured they would take the matter in hand and do their share.And they furnished so ample a supply of fine home cooking including plenty of candy for the boys that when the fig uring was done as to the expense of giving the banquet including several invited guests, it was found that the total expense was only $14. It was also figured that 160 plates were served. The city council having voted the $200 for tho boys were still of the mind last evening that the amount was at the disposal of the company and au thority was voted to sond tho '$200 to the company not for the mess fund, but for the company fund; This amount with $14 more was forwarded today hv the Bev. James Klvin to Captain J. B. Necr- It seems the mess fund of the company has in its treasury about $1500. Hence the $200 was sent to be placed in the company fund. Mess fund money can only be usea lor me muss, but company money may be used as needed.

' Electrical Operators' Strike Negotiations Nearing Crisis San Francisco, .Oct. 24. The crisis iu the negotiations looking ta averting the strike of electrical workers and the telephone operators on the Pacific coast, will be reached tomorrow fol lowing the arrival tonight of Seattle girls representing the telephone oper ators of Oregon and Washington. The girls are coming ,at the suggestion of Mortimer Fleischacker, federal media tor, in order that their demands for union recognition might be fully set forth. Judge Morgenthaler, district presi-. dent of the electrical workers union, re iterated today that any settlement with the Pacific Telephone and Telegraph company must be contingent on recog nition of the girl's union. If no -agreement is reached by Saturday midnight, it is believed the general strik? order recently issued wib be put into effect.
