WILL DECIDE WAR ON OCEAN
' The falling down of the Russians and the overrunning
of their country by the Germans will have a tendency to
prolong the war, and will undoubtedly do so, since it will
serve to hearten the German people and brace them up
to still farther sacrifices in helping the kaiser retain for
a short time longer his power'. It will to a small extent re
lieve the food shortage among the Teuton allies, but not
to so great an extent as most suppose, for the reason that
the Russian peasants last year were so intent on enjoying
their new found freedom that they forgot to plant their
fields as usual, and in consequence there is a shortage of
foodstuffs in Rumania and Russia that will place even the
Russians on short rations." Of course the Germans will
see to it that it is the Russian rather than the German
who goes hungry, but even with this there will still be a
shortage of food, for another year. The German can ac
complish nothing in the way of winning the war by any
thino- he may do east of him. There is a limit to his ad
vance in that direction, for lack of transportation if
nothing else would draw the limit to which he dared go
even had he the man power, which he hasn't. The wise
old Von Tirpitz knew what he was talking about when
he advocated submarine ruthlessness and so did Von
Ilindenburg when he said: "neurals be damned; win the
war." Each of them knew at the time this discussion was
up that the war would be settled on the Atlantic and not in
Europe. The situation is the same yet, and when peace
comes it will be because the submarine war has failed or
because it has won. When Germany is convinced that
her submarines cannot possibly win when the allies
demonstrate they can build ships faster than the U-boats
.can destroy; when fleets of destroyers or new methods
drive the submarines from their haunts Germany will be
ready to talk peace and a peace that can be discussed in
stead of the camouflage she and her ally held out as the
real thing, to the benighted Russians. When the com
merce of the world is freed from the danger of the sub
marine, all hope for Germany will be gone. At the best
she can have only a peoples on her eastern borders who
are quiet and submissive only as they are awed by super
ior force, and who will turn against her at the first
oppcrturfiy. Her man power is steadily weakening and
with the ocean free to America to send men and supplies
to Europe there can be but one end. It is claimed that
with the increasing fleets of destroyers and improved
methods of attacking U-boats that the menace is steadily
decreasing and that the Germans are unable to increase
their submarine fleet. At the same time the German boast
of starving England in a few months has proven fallaci
ous and instead of starving her it is shown by port statis
tics that England's commerce has ' increased slightly
within the past year. It is a question of the United
States being able to supply the allies and maintain her
own armies in Europe; consequently the winning of the
war depends now on the shipyards cf America. It is not
a question of men, of money or of munitions, but of ships,
for that means supplies. For these reasons it is idle to j
speculate as to what, the uermans may uo on me ra&inii
front, for whatever it is it will not affect the results other
than perhaps to delay the end. There are no vital spots
in the east at which the Germans may strike. They can
not even send troops to aid the hard pressed Turks in
Mesopotamia. The end of the war will be reached
through the barred zone along the French and English
coast not on the eastern front.
President Wilson sent a messag? of friendship to the
Russian soviet at Moscow yesterday. He told them
America was Russia's friend and was ready at any time
to help her regain her place among the nations. While it
is not likely the soviet will do less than ratify the German
made peace terms, it is quite probable the leaders of the
Russians, the real leaders, will remember and in time
profit by America's promise.

JUDGE WORSE THAN CRIMINALS
When twenty-six persons taken before Judge Rossman
of the Portland municipal court recently admitted they
were members of the I. W. W., and when it was shown
by indisputable evidence that they were engaged in trea
sonable practices at the time of their arrest, it would
seem to the average citizen that something in the way of
punishment would have been administered. This assump
tion is not far fetched in view of the fact that the nation
is in the midst of the greatest war in all history. Yet the
judge before whom they were arraigned sized their of
fense up as a petty affair for he punished it with
sentences of from 20 to ?0 days in jail. An attack on our
government, the practice of treason, the threatening of
our free institutions and the endangering of our liberties
is considered by this judge as almost as serious as jug
gling a bottle of whiskey past a police officer. It is high
time such farcical proceedings be brought to an end. it
is bad enough when the habitual criminal I. W. W. make
light of our laws and brings ridicule upon them, but it is
immeasureably worse when one of our judges joins with
them when broueht' before him. in making the laws
ridiculous. If 30 days was enough for them the same
number of years would about fit the crime committed' by
the judge who sentenced them.
The Swiss press has taken the right stand in regard
to the sinking of a ship load of wheat and flour sent from
the United States to Switzerland and sunk by German
submarines.. There were 3,855 tons of wheat or its equiv
alent on the ship, and the press insists that instead of
sending a protest to Germany that-the supply furnished
the colony of 230,000 Germans in Switzerland be cut 50
per cent until the saving equals the amount destroyed. In
other words the idea is to make the Germans instead of
the Switzers stand the less and do the belt tightening
caused bv it. Sweden . and the other neutral nations
should profit by the hunch and instead of doing the going
hungry act because ot German ruthlessness, pass mat
job up to the Germans.
Colonel Leader's description of the methods by which
the Germans could invade and capture the Pacific coast
is quite ingenious. The weakness of it is that the colonel
overlooked what the people of the coast would be doing
while those 40,000 Germans were helping themselves to
the country. The colonel very properly suggested that
there was not enough probability of this happening to
cause coast dwellers any uneasiness.
Rome was not built in a day, but that is where Rome
was not in the same class as the Portland liberty temple
built to serve as head quarters for those in charge of the
next liberty loan and others that may follow it. It was
not only built in a day. but it was built without cost and
donated by public spirited citizens. The material and
labor were' both contributed.
Almost daily we are told that the allies have the Ger
mans badly outclassed as to airships, yet the same daily
dispatches tell of German airships raiding London, Paris
and other points and not meeting with any very strong
resistance in the air. Some one must have their fingers
or figures crossed.

One of the best ways for the country to Hooverize

WASTELESS MEALS
Mv table sees no wanton waste, -I do as
Hoover tells; I eat my eggs with eager
haste, and then consume the shells. Three
times a day I drop my harp, and hush its
golden tones, and eat my share of kippered
carp, and then I eat the bones. But casting
levity aside, since it's in rotten taste, I take
a patriotic pride in cutting out the waste.
We used to have a garbage can forninst
the barn it stood and there the hired girl
often ran. to dump all kinds of food. Big
chunks of steak we failed to eat, she'd
throw therein, kersplash; but now we take
such hunks of meat, and make uplifting
hash. For things in bulk, in days of old, I used to blow my
pay, and when they grew a crop of mold, we threw the lot
away. But nuw I'm careful of the dime, I buy just what
we'll eat. say two molasses at a time, pne egg, one grain of
wheat I always save the coffee grounds, and boil them
o'er and o'er; no wasted provender abounds, back of my
kitchen door. The village dogs that once waxed fat on
what I threw-away, now through their skins show every
slat, and they must live cn hay. The grocer's bills have
shorter grown, the butcher feels an ache, when he wraps
up a cheap soupbone, where once I bought a steak. It is
no faddist's path I tread, no scheme of fitful gusts; I glad
ly eat my plain brown bread the children eat the crusts.

All in all, before evening, he had
called her up eighteen times and sent
her eleven packages.

CHAPTER XXIV
The day of the party I woke early.
I wag as excited as if I were giving
tho birthday dinner instead of Evelyn.
Mrs. Sexton was due at ten o'clock
whicJi rather disgusted me, but even
she' cculdn 't quito quench my high
spirits.
"Have poise, my dear, Mrs. Howard.
A woman without poise is never a
popular woman," she told me that
morning, and a lot I didn't even hear,
altho 1 pretended to. I was sure she
reported to George, and I was not
anxious for a scolding.
After she left I tiew upstairs and
laid out everything I should wear. I
should have to dress early as George
would com homo to see that I would
not disgrace him by not being proper
ly gowned. I suppose I should have
felt flattered, but I didu 't one bit. i
knew he was going back to the cub to
dinner, and it seemed so silly for him
to come way home just to criticize me.
Aftor luncheon I went shopping and
bought some fresh gloves and slippers.
So that ho could have no possible
cause to tell me I was not fit.
T'nn I lay down for an hour before
I bathed and dressed. I was all ready
however when George came in about
six o'clock- The dinner was at seven.
George said it was outrageously early,
but 1 thought it just the right hour,
I got so hungry when I waited nntil
eight o'clock for dinner, as we had to
at Mrs. Loring's.
George Approves
"Yes, you'll do very well," he paid
as I ran down the stairs. "I think
you look better in it than you did
when you wore it before. Your hair is
dressed more becomingly perhaps."
"Xo, just the same," 1 .answered;
and thought I could tell him if I Would
why T looked hotter. It was because I
was happier. Then I had been fright
ened, awed because of the kind of peo
ple 1 was to meet. Xow 1 knew they
were all young happy things like my
self, and then Merten Grav was to be
there too.
"I'll wait land jdrive down with
you, ' ' George said.
"Oh, that will be lovely!" I ex
claimed. " It will almost, seem as if
you wore going," and I smiled hap
pily at him.
He bent down and kissed my lips.
It v.as such little thing3 he did when
ioast expec'-ed that kept my love alive.
Had ho not occasionally shown some
fooling 1 am sure it would have died
out almost a. soon as 1 was alone with
him.
But I had learned not to be dspion
strative when he gave me. any sure of
a caress, so now 1 just patted his arm
contentedly an 1 sat quietly reading un
til it was time to go.
Gecre wrapped me in the same love
ly blue cloak 1 had worn to Mrs. Lor
ing's, and after we were in the car
and I laid my hand on his knee he
took it in his and held it all the way
to Evelyn's.
"I am so sorry you aren't com
ing," I said as he helped me out. and
1 meant it. I was sorry then; later 1
knew he wouldn't have enjojyod the
evening, and probably would have
spoiled it for me. YVe were altogether
too hilarious to please him. too natural
Tie Guests Arrive
I was a little early. I had promised
Evelyn I would be, but early as I was,
Merton Gray was but a few minutes
later.
"This is indeed a pleasure," he said
as we shock hands. "I hope I may be
able to ei nsole you for your husband's
absence."
"Oh, ves vou will!" I exclaimed.
then blushed crimson to think how it
sounded.
"Xever mini. I know wnat you
meant. Ho couldn't come, so yon have
made up your mind to be pleased with
his substitute."
Wasn't it wonderful, I thought, how
easily he understood- me. hew he knew
just what to say to make me comfortable-
But the other guests came directly
and I was carried away by Evelyn to
bi introduced.
There was a Mr- and Mrs. Rivers, a
charming young ec-nple; her name was
Olive, oiive Rivers; hi was Peter. 1
thonyht it so queer "Peter Rivers"
it didn't sound nice at all. but af
terward it seemed as if no other name
would ever have been half so distinct
ive. Then a Miss Mabel Pratt, and
Hugh Emery, then Pick Carter and his
cute, little wife Lilly, and the two Lnw-
son sisteis, Jennie and June with their
fiancees. They were twins and wer

Fianlc Ardeu and Chariton Metrt
i Jennie to Frank and June to Chariton.
1 1 hoped they would invite me to tin
l wedding. Then there was Merton Gray
i Evelyn and Kurts, and myself.
! Everyone was so gay over the intro
j ductions. The' all expressed their sor
i row at George's absence very prettily,
i but all of them wero delighted thai
Merton Gray had taken his place, lis
knew most of Vhem, and soon mad
frier.ds with the others. Oh, how good
it seemed to be in that laughing, chat

we used to at home. I could shut my
eyca and almost think I was back with
the boys and girls.
