ships to get this wheat across the pond.
The question as to what would happen if the kaiser
was victorious in the great war can be easily answered by
considering what he has done to the world and to Amer
ica up to this time. Of course most of us realize the
enormity of his offenses against the peoples of Europe,
but not all of us keep track of what he has already done
to those in the United States. As a starter just note that
he has taken half a million or more of the country's finest
young manhood across the ocean and placed them in the
trenches in France. He has taken a million others from
their pursuits and their homes and sent them into train
ing camps in order that he may get them over into Europe
and destroy them there, if he can. He has made the
American people subscribe $5,000,000,000 to the liberty
loans already floated, and is now compelling them to sub
scribe another $:,000,000,000 to maintain the amies he
has forced us to send to Europe. He has made us put up
half a billion dollars more for the Red Cross and other
organizations, to alleviate the sufferings and care for the
wounded victims of his soldiery. He has sunk $6,000,000,
000 worth of shipping, much of which belonged to people
of the United States and he has sent to the bottom of the
ocean along with these ships perhaps $5,000,000,000 worth
of wheat, meats and other foodstuffs grown and owned
by American citizens. These are a few of the large
things he has done to the United States and her people.
Outside of these what he is responsible for would make a
list longer than could be enumerated in a newspaper
story. He has added 40 per cent to the cost of the price jt
of beef the workmgman's wife purchased for the family
dinner. He has doubled the price of bread for all the peo
ple in the United-States. He has made pork products so
dear that the farmer who raised the "makings" cannot
afford to buy them for his and his family's use. He has
reached his mailed fist across the tables of the poor and
taken the butter dish and its contents away. He has
added 40 per cent to the price you must pay for the milk
for the baby, and no doubt grinned as he did so, for
destroying or robbing babies is one of the kaiser's most
lovable traits. He has fixed the amount of sugar you may
use and added 50 per cent to the price of the small amount
he permits you to have. He has, as you are well aware,
forbidden you eating wheat products except in such
quantities as he directs. When it was coldest last winter
he forbade the use of coal above a certain amount, and
told freeborn Americans they must suffer from cold and
deprive themselves of coal mined in their own country.
These are only a few of the things the kaiser has done
to America and American people, what he has done to
you and me and all the balance. This too while not yet a
conqueror. He has done the same in Russia and there
while in a sense victorious, he has added to the things he
has done to a small section of Russia, Ukraine, an in
demnity of more than four and a half billion dollars. If
he should conquer and get his mailed fist on the throat
of America, her people would have to pay an indemnity
if levied in proportion to that made on Ukraine of $60,000,
000,000, or twenty times the sum Uncle Sam is asking his
people lend to help him f orever destroy this world's
curse, the kaiser and his militarism. You can figure out
at your leisure if you can where the inordinate greed
and the insatiable lust for power possessed by this Prus
sian monster would stop once he had his heel on America
and the balance of the world. When you have figured this
out can more readily dig down after the necessary funds
to drive this modern cerberus back to the gates of the
hell, where he belongs.
From the conversation of captured officers and sol
diers on the western front, it is learned that Hindenburg
has been ordered to force his way through the allied
defense at any costs. "The offensive must go on, it cannot
stop," is the burden of the stories told by all prisoners.
All of these prisoners agree that peace must result, as
; they say"somehow some way, so far as Germany is
concerned.
The Bolsheviki are simple minded folk, especially those
out in far away Siberia. A Canadian soldier who has just
returned from that section says when these grown up
children attacked Irkutsk, and found their artillery was
overshooting the city, they moved the guns back a couple
of miles and then when the shots fell short they moved
them up again. This instead of changing the sights.
The Turks having been whipped at all points by the
British in Mesopotamia, turned on the half armed Rus
sians in Armenia and having forced them back proved
their valor and bravery by attacking the helpless Armen
ians still left alive, survivors of many previous massacres.
A gun that will shoot 80 miles and as a days work kill
eight chickens is sure some gun. At the same time it is
an expensive way of killing chickens.
It takes money to make the engines of war move, and
for this purpose Americans have "money to burn."

ODE TO APRIL
Oh, April, we are tickled, to see you here
once more! Old Winter's canned and
pickledgood riddance to the bore ! He
hung around and blustered, with winds as
sharp as mustard, until he had us flustered,
and made our spirits sore. ' Now Winter's
hit the ceiling, no more his snow he flings;
There's a silver liuiug
Through the dark clouds shining,
Turn the dark'elouds inside out
Till the boys come home.
Over seas there came a pleading,
"Help a nation in distress! "
And we gave our glorious laddies;
Honor made us do not less.
For no gallant son of Freedom
To a tyrant 's yoke should bend,
And a noble heart must answer "
To the sacred call of "Friend."

The Woman Who Changed
With 2S cities and counties in the twelfth district hav
ing earned honor flags for having subscribed their full
quotas, Oregon is credited with 22. In the districts are
seven states and the total quota is 210,000,000. Of this,
by the way, $05,000,000 was subscribed by Saturday night.
If this rate can be or was maintained the full quota is
subscribed by this time. It is expected the minimum will
be greatly oversubscribed, but of course it can hardly be
expected the rush of the opening can be maintained to
the end.

CONCRtTE VESSELS
Asks Money to Build These
for Carrying Fuel Oil
Coastwist
Washington, April 8. The United
States shipping board late today de
cided to ask congress for an appropri
ation of $.10,000,000 Iw'Vh -which to
build concrete ships- The announce
ment was fade by Chairman Hurley af
ter a conference with Senators Me
Cumber and Simmons.
It has been decided to build fiv .
more government shipyards for exclu
sive use in concrete construction. Two
of these yards will be on the Pacifio
(coast and three on the Atlantic. Their
location, although practically determin
ed, fay' be changed when data is ob
tained affecting transportation facil
ities. Chairman Hurley stated that the
yards would be located as near as po- .
sible to the source of supplies.
Siiippinsf board engineers have de
signs ready and the building of ways
will start immediately congress pro
vides tho money. Koch year will con
tain six ways. They will be built for
shins' of a dead weight tonnage of 7,
500. '
It is tho intention of the shipping
board to begin the shipbuilding of ccn
erotn tankers for use ein constwiso
trade. This will eliminate further
shortage, in fuel oil for the fleet which
the nation now has.
' Tho rapidity with- which concreta
ships can be built, together with tJia
low cost of construction, is expected
by shipping iboard officials to win sup
port for the request, which will be mada
by congress. Figures compiled show the
cost of a concrete ship to be abeut $110
per deadweight ton. The cost of wood,
and steel vessels is about $140 and
$175 per deadweight ton, respectively.

Saturday. The young folks displayed
superior talent for amateurs and the

Wednesday the play was taken to
Stayton but through some misunder
standing on the part of the advertisers
the Stayton people did not know it was
coming and a comparatively small

cleared forty cents so they did not
regret their trip.
Rav Reeves went to l'ortland, Tues
