' The most cheering story coming across the sea recently
is that yesterday to the eftect that Captain rersius, in a
sensational article published in the Berliner Tageblatt
stated among other things that "the German people doubt
the results of piracy without mercy." He also confesses
''the admiralty was wrong in its calculations as to the
decisive effects of the submarine campaign." Here are
two remarkable statements to come from a German
source. The first is especially noticeable on account of its
statement as to what the German submarine war actually
is: "piracy without mercy." It is further remarkable in
its confession that the German people had lost faith in
this mode of warfare. He is undoubtedly correct in say
ing the admiralty was wrong in its calculations as to the
decisive effect of the submarine campaign. Von Tirpitz
insisted this "piracy" would win the war, that it would
starve England and bring her to her knees within three
months. That date was extended from time to time and
finally its advocates were content with the assertion that
it would "win eventually." Even that hope has gone
glimmering; for the number of sinkings is decreasing,
slowly but steadily, only one vessel above' 1600 tons last
week, and for these sinkings a terrible price has .been
paid. How many submarines have been sunk is not
known, to the public at least, but the number is large. It
is so large, and so many German crews have sailed away
never to be heard of again that the German government
is having difficulty in getting sailors for these crafts.
' The mystery of their fate, though it can be guessed at,
has struck terror to the hearts of the German sailors.
America's entrance into the war has had a tremendous
effect in this line, and is largely responsible for the de
creased sinkings. A story from France written by one of
the Oregon boys to friends here throws some light on the
matter for it tells of a destroyer sinking a submarine and
of the method employed.
It is possible this government has means of offense and
defense against the submarines 01 wmcn omy mose in
authority, or trusted men, know. The remarkable con
fession of Captain Persius indicates the German losses
of submarines are greater than we of America even
dreamed of. This of course is only guess work, but if it is
a dream, let us hope at least it will come true.

THE CHEERFUL MOTORIST
,1 crawl beneath my balky car, with fifteen
kinds of wrenches, and tinker where its
vitals are, 'mid gas and grease and stenches.
When done I am a sight to see, a sight for
sore-eyed dragons; and passing horses shy
at me, run off and bust their wagons. I
skid into a muddy ditch, and hail some pass
ing granger, to bring his mules along and
hitch, and haul me out of danger. I wallow
round in squashy mire, cold rain upon me
drizzling, removing from the wheel a tire,
and use some language sizzling. Sometimes
the lamps won't shed a ghost of their ac
customed splendor, and then I run into a
post and break a costly fender. A farmer stops me now
and then, and asks me, in his dander, to pay for running
down his hen, his sheepdog or his gander. O'er arid hills
I jaunt along, through meadows cool and ferny, and some
thing's always going wrong, wherever I may journey.
But when 1 motor home again, from my adventures shock
ing, and mingle with familiar men, you ought to hear me
talking! "I had the finest time," I yip, while truth grows
vague and hazy; "no accident on all the trip my car is
sure a daisy!'-

AN AGONIZING EXPERIENCE.
The railroads want higher freight rates because war
taxes and increasing expenses of all kinds makes a raise
imperative, the managers say. But just where does the
railroad pay any war tax? If we are correctly informed,
and we think we are, the railroads have simply added the
war tax to all fares and freight and the public pays it.
On the other hand the war has so greatly increased the
business of the railroads that there is a car shortage on
every line in the country. Evidently the railroads are
simply out after "war dividends" in this demand for high
er freight rates.
Just now the farmers of the valley are doing some
notable work that will help win the war. Thanks to the
weather clerk, the plows are running full time and this
gives promise of abundant harvests next year. Every
time a farmer chirks up his horses or says "giddup Bill"
he is preparing a shot at the kaiser and the military
despotism that has deluged the world with blood and that
still threatens civilization.
Oregon will be in the front row again when the Y. M.

CHAPTER LVIII. -I
lcoked at mother in amazement;
scarcely comprehending her question
anunt Bob. Surely I had not heard
aright! '
"You look' very tired, dear," she said
after a moment. "I was afraid the trip
would be too much for you. Is Robert
coming right up!"
"Isn't he here?" I asked as mother
laid tho baby dow annd helped me re
move my hat. - i
"Why no! didn't ho come back with
you?" sho asked, her expression one
of surprise.
"Ho had left when I arrived," I said
as I returned her kiss, "the clerk said
he left the hotel about the time I- start
ed. He should be at home now," and
tho tears I ad tried to bold back all the
way home fell freely.
"There, there, Margaret, everything
will bo all right. Ho probably had some
business to attend to and bo did not
como directly home."
"Has he wired again f" I asked, pay
ing no attention to mothor's attempt to
comfort.
"No, we have heard nothing since the
messago he sent the day you left,"
mother replied, then "come and let mo
fix you something to eat." .
"I couldn't eat a bite!" I declared
just as the door bell rang.
"A telegram, ma'am," Delia said as
she opened the door, then stood in open
mouthed surprise to see me with mother.
"I didn't know you was at homo
ma'am," sho added, ns I almost tore
tho telegram from her outstretched
hand.
"Home tomorrow! Bob" I read, then
dropped weakly into a chair ami allow
ed mother to sign the messenger slip.
"I told you it was all right," moth
er said after Delia left the room, "I am
only sorry you had that long hard trip
for nothing."
Just then Donald cried. Ho had heard
my voice and wanted me to take him
up, so I was saved the necessity of re
plying to mother. I eudled him in my
arms while I reread the message. Won
deringly I noticed that it was sent from
some place of which I had not heard. I
spoke about it to mother and she said
it was a suburb of Chicago, and that no
doubt he had been obliged to go there
on business, and had seen no need to
notify the hotel.
It was very late and after a hot cup
of tea I Btarted for bed. I was not quite
undressed when the bell rang again. I
slipped on a bath robe and opened the
door to another messenger. I trembled
so I could scarcely read the yellow sup:
"Unavoidably detained again. Home
a day later. Bob."
What could have detained himf I slept
very little in spite of my weariness. I
speculated upon the business that had
taken Bob to the place from which
both messages had been sent. I eould
remember nothing he had told me which
would nwasitate his preaeuet anywhere
save in Chicago.
Once the thought of another woman
ram to me as I lay wide awake in the
darkness; but I dismissed it as ridicul
ous. Bob loved me. It was, as mother
had suggested, some business of which
I knew nothing that had so delayed him.
Should I tell him I had followed him
to Chicago only te meet with disap
pointment, or should I caution mother
unit IVlla not to tnieak of mv absence?
The money I had used for my expenses f
was money Bob had given me for a
new winter suit; but as after he had
given me money he never again men
tioned it to me, I knew I was safe from
questions from hira. That I would do
such a thing never would cuter his
mind. But I had not decided what to
do in the matter wnen finally I fell
asleep.
In the morning I showed mother his
second message. She had remained all
night, but had kwmi to the breakfast
table dressed to return home to father.
