Mason, steadily insists that i the tactics adopted by General Foch and used by Haig be-J fore him are the best possible. He says so long as the Germans do not break through the allied lines that the' Fabian policy, the giving way after detroying as many of the enemy as possible, and falling back instead of sacri ficing lives in a too desperate defense, is calculated to wear Hindenburg's forces down and ultimately to cause his defeat. It requires good nerves though, to lose ground daily and still look upon it as the true method of winning. At the same time it is apparent that the German losses are necessarily much greater than those of the allies. ; Our Da3y Story THE FUTILITY OF RICHES. Flycn Arnber, worth a cool million dollars in his own right and a lukewarm half million in Ms wife's left, sat bask ingly over his eoffe and cigar as ho wati-hed Grinnen Baritt, his one time college chum, feeding his face. Amber having run into him on the street, down at the heel and not very far up at the toe, hud invited him ho"me for dinner. "Have some more stuffed mushrooms, Baritt", said Amber puft'ishly. "Well, well, life has its ups and donna, hasn't it! Here am I, a mililonaire, and there Hardly a Drugstore in the Land - That Does Not Sell This Remedy On the Market Half a Century. Last week's admiralty report shews less sinkings by submarines- than any week since the last campaign of ruthlessness started, save one week only.

This helps balance the account of drive at their front made by the Germans there will naturally be a much greates casualty list than has yet been reported. Instead of a few "killed in action," there are likely to be hundreds, perhaps thousands in this list. The time for the making of the supreme sacrifice is approach ing and the number of homes made desolate will increase rapidly. We must one and all be ready to meet whatever of sorrow comes to us. In the first wild passion of grief, the fact that the life of our boys was offered upon the altar of Freedom has little control or mitigation, but as the days pass we will realize more fnd more that the life so dear to us was laid a tree onenng on tne auar oi liberty. We can feel that the sacrifice has not been made in vain and that no life was ever offered for a holier or a grander cause. "Ya, the noblest place for man to die, Is where he dies for man." " The lives that will be snuffed out like candles in the fierce blasts of war, is the price paid for the freedom of the world. The cost of a nation goir g war mad and run ning amuck on the balance of the world. We can only hope the sacrifices may be few and that the end of the war may come soon, but if this is impossible, then we must bear to the end. In the meanwhile we who remain at home can only see to it that every want of our boys over there is supplied, and to this end all of us must dig deep down for the coin that will help bring the war to an end. m H Oswald West, not long since governor of the state of Oregon, and the target for the heavy guns of the Oregon ian, has wired friends at Portland that he will make the race for United States senator at the coming election to succeed his old friend Charles McNary, It has been rumored for some time that he would make the race, but few believed he would do so as long as there was any certainty of McNary zeceiving the republican nomination. From this it would appear that West has concluded Stan field has the better of the fight for the nomination, and that he is entering the race expecting the big eastern Oregon man will be his opponent. Presuming he will beat King for the nomination the election might prove an in " teresting one. West is not overly strong with his party, but he has a large following of elements made up from all political parties. j The king of Spain is a real sport. When his cabinei ouit and the politicians quarrelled imd could not form another, he threatened to send the royal family out of Spain and told the leaders of the different factions he would stay with them until they got down to business. Then he sent for the factional leaders one at a time and each went to the palace believing he had been called to form a cabinet Of course each was surprised at meeting the others, and then before they had time o begin quar relling the Captain General of Madrid made his appear ance upportunely and declared to the king: "Sire, you may be tranquil. If you are unable to form a ministry with these gentlemen of the Cortes, the army will form one for you tomorrow." The politicians forgot their quarrels forthwith and the cabinet was formed. the week before when 28 ships were sunk, 16 of them of more tnan l,bW tons The situation in Siberia is decidedly mixed. The Japanese have landed troops at Vladivostok, which has angered the bolsheviki government so that it threatens war on Japan. In the meantime General Semeneoff has started a revolution against the bolsheviki and has been aided to some extent by the allies who have sent him am munition and guns. The Japanese and Chinese have jormed some agreement for working together against the Austrian prisoners who were sent to Siberia, but who to the number of 1,200 have formed an army, secured guns and munitions and are attacking General Semeneoff. The Woman's Land Army is the latest organization to make its appearance. Mrs. Henry Wade Rogers is chair man of the executive committee and she has received a letter from President Wilson commending the associa tion's work and aims. The object of the association is to enroll women to aid in cultivating crops 'where the farm ers have need of them. The president calls attention to the fact that England and France hr.ve both accepted the services of patriotic women on the farms and have bene fited thereby. He urges farmers to avail themselves of the services so generously and patriotically offered. Barney Baruch who is at the head ,o the textile con servation business intimates that price fixing all down the line may have to be resorted to on account of the rapidly advancing prices of cotton and all cotton products. Raw cotton is abundant but the excessive demands of the army have exhausted the supply and the market is bare so far as civilian purchases are concerned. Outputs of most of the mills have been contracted for for months in advance, and contracts for future delivery within any reasonable time cannot be had, "Not that I want to seem to be crow ing over you, or anything of that sort, Baritt. I realize I'm not the tmly rich man in the world.

I Oregon is the first state to secure its quota for the liberty loan and now it is urged that a new record be made, that of every town in the bate subscribing its quota. This would be an unique feature, and one not like ly to be duplicated. It would prove a great advertising card for the state and if possible it should be accomplished. With Bolo promising some startling revelations in! France it might be well for the Bolo branch of the S. W. V's to make a clean breast of it However the first Bolo is to be hanged shortly and they are not, which has a great bearing on confessions. It is the same old story that comes from the British front, that of falling back before superior numbers. The British line was not broken in the last attack but it was forced back. This may be just strategy, but it looks like something else. It is time for a halting of the German advance at all points if such can be compelled. t I Rippling Rhymes by Walt Mason a 1 V " f!iffJg'!1f,'JimyIM LADD & BUSH, Bankers The Third Liberty pond Sale is now on.

BEWHISKERED RUSSIA I fear that Russia won't behave until her people learn to shave. We cannot look for good horse sense in men whose shrubbery is dense, whose lambrequins obstruct the view, and often block The traffic, too. I hope to see sad Russia rise from that deep pit in which she lies; I hope to see her rise in time, and hew a destiny sublime, but first her men will have to hew the whiskers that impede the view. No nation can be truly great whose voters pack a hundredweight of spinach up and down the street, so long vgiImol).J it gets beneath their feet. When poor old Russia spilled the beans, and swapped her birthright for some greens, when windy demagogues arose and turned her over to. her foes, when desolation , o'er her crept, the allied nations looked and wept. There i was no harshness in their gaze; they sympathized with those poor jays, by fool advisers led afar from where the wreaths of glory are. The allied nations wept and sighed, "She's hit the long toboggan slide; such spectacles dis gust, deject; but what can any one expect from men whese whiskers seem to grow eight inches every hour or so?" And thus 'twill ever.always be; no future for the. Russ we see, until, with motions strong and blithe, he I reaps his whiskers with a scythe. Washington, April 12.
