THE DAILY CAPITAL JOURNAL Is the only newspaper in Kaletn whose circulation is guaranteed by the Audit Bureau of Circulations. THE "CAUSE" OF THE WAR DEAD It is one of the ironies of fate that just as the hopes of the kaiser and his junkers go glimmering, and all hope of eventually winning the war vanishes, that Gabreel Principe, the man who assassinated the Austrian Arch duke Ferdinand and his morganatic wife at Sarajevo, passed away in the fortress where he was confined. It was this act of a madman that was seized upon by the kaiser as an excuse for starting his campaign to over throw all governments and make himself dictator of the world. He at once began to pull the strings that made poor old Francis Joseph dance and so an ultimatum was delivered to Serbia which neither it nor any other country could comply with. This was done intentionally and with: the view of forcing France and Russia into the war.1 The kaiser had supposed England would keep out of the fight he intending to take care of her at his leisure when the other nations were disposed of. He relied also on Italy staying with the central powers and indeed had things nicely arranged. Undoubtedly the successful flights of the Zeppelins had much to do with his selecting the time for beginning the war. He had an exaggerated idea of the power of these war machines and believed he could control the air. and therefore the world. No doubt without these he would have made the attempt at world domination just the same, but not perhaps until a later date. It is quite in accordance with the eternal fitness of things that the madman whose act was made the excuse for the war should pass just as the hopes of the kaiser and his gang vanish. . RAISE IN PRICES NOT JUSTIFIED , . Not in many instances are the share advances in nrices 1 VoE.aH Wfeo Changed J of goods justified. The war is merely an excuse for the profiteers to exploit the people, and the sharpest advances are made in the necessities of life because these must be j had. Shoes, clothing and food supplies are priced so that ! the manufacturer is reaping a golden harvest while the! puDiic pays war prices. THE OUTSTRETCHED HAND. AN EVENING OF SELF-PITY CHAPTER LXVIII.

College professors, school teachers and librarians furnish more disloyal persons in proportion to numbers than any other classes. According to a "news item in a recent issue of the Capital Journal, Salem may experience a shortage of gas this summer and fall. This would be a serious matter, as many firms, particularly printers, are almost absolutely dependent upon gas for melting their type metal, and other purposes. , Then, too, many households have no other means of cooking or even heating water except with pas. Particularly ais this true in apartment houses, where there are no chimney flues and where wood stoves could not be installed. Owing to the national eiiort be insr made to conserve food by home canning and preserv ing, there is a large demand for gas for this purpose, as the work is generally done in tne warm weauier. a shortage of gas would, therefore, hamper this work to a considerable extent. Naturally we all nope tnat sucn ar rangements' will be made that it will not be necessary to reduce the supply ot gas in baiem. The defense of Mont Kemmel will go down in history with Thermopylae and Balaklava. When General Foch eent the French regiment surrounded on the hill the mes sage: "Hold Mont Kemmel to the death," he was obeyed literally. The story says they fought against overwhelm ing odds for six hours and finally reduced in numbers "were overrun by the German hordes and tramped out as an ant hill in the sand." A nation composed of such men cannot be conquered. It may be destroyed, but it cannot be whipped. " There are a number of nations that have their soldiers on the west front, and among these are English, French, Americans, Portugese, Hindus, Scotch, Irish, Welsh, and no doubt many other races, and now comes word that D0,000 of the flower and pick of the Chinese army are to be fighting on this front along with the others by the first of June. Pretty nearly all the balance of the world i? either fighting the kaiser or sympathizing with those who are. Butte has voted to burn all German books in the school libraries, Saturday night in the center of the city. The trustees of all public libraries are expected to follow this course, and an invitation is extended to all citizens to help swell the German funeral pyre with such German oooks as they may have. The Sinn Feiners will not accept Home Rule in any form but demand "absolute freedom from the British em pire. They want, or say they do, to have Ireland a re public. This would be all right until the first election be came necessary. After thatthere would be a resolution followed by another and still another indefinitely. The Orangemen and the Catholics will never agree, and that is the whole situation in the past, now and f orevennore. . LADD & BUSH, Bankers The Third Liberty Bond Sale is now on. We have a Liberty Bond Department in one of our Lobby StaKs. A teller is constantly in charge ready to answer questions and take subscriptions. The outlook for both Fall and Spring wheat is splendid. The authorities estimate that the yield this year may be close to 900,000,000 bushels. At the same time crop con ditions in the allied countries are far better than last year, and the probability is that all restrictions on the use of flour will be removed soon after harvest begins, or as soon as the yield is assured. The junkers are convinced that the attaching to Alsace and Lorraine to Germany in the manner they were, was a mistake. They now propose to mako their loss less galling to France and as it were to apalogize for annexing these provinces by dividing them between Bavaria. Prussia and Baden.

Good nieht!" he stalked out of the room, down the stairs and i, listening, heard the front door close none to gently after him, I burst into a very passion ot tears ana sobs a sudden, wid access of lone liness and longing, i "I ought to have stayed horn.?. Hi doesn't love me, he ean't! He couldn't treat me so, if he did," I moaned aloud. George hadn't Wanted to kiss mo hadn 't cared enough to kiss nie, just be cause I was crying. And HIS had inad.'. me cry. One thing, and ouc thing only, was gradually geepiug into my mind;. I could- n t go on like ting forever. Ho had uo consideration for my loneliness when, nigh; after night, 1 sat alone in that luxurious house that now seemed less like home than ever. I would gladly have given up the oriental rugs for mother's rag ones the tapestries and real lace for the dainty dimity curtains at home all the ease and splendor of our living for the homincss that per vaded the home I had ,iua ; left. I was not left long alone. George had been gone but a little time when James announced a Mr. and Mrs. Koss and a Mr. Huntington. Mr. and Mrs. Ross, were, I knew, close friends of George's before we were married. Of Mr. Huntington I knew nothing. I wanted to refuse to see them, but did not dare. George would be an fry. So I sent word !Y(iat 1 would be down immediately, and then hurriedly bathed my eyes and smoothed my hair A. New Acqueintance Mr. and Mrs. Eoss greeted me very .cordially, when I w.ent into the room, and then Mrs. Koss introduced Mr. Hun tington. Mr. Koss was a lively sort of man and did Ins best to be entertaining, lie paid mc all sor!s of compliments, some of which, at another time, would have embarrassed me. I accepted th,em calmly because I was too unhappy to mind. My calm seemed to much intri gue tins man ot the world. And I thought it caused a look of admiration in his eyes. Mr. Huntington, too, was very kind, lie was young about twenty-five. U.? tried to find out some W the things in which I was especially interested and talked first of them and then of what especially interested him. Ho talked better when on this latter subjects. My wandering glance, my forced at tention, did not escape Mrs. Koss. I saw to my annoyance. 1 was not living up to Mrs. Sex pn's teachings. I was pro jecting my own feelings into the atmos phere when, as hostess, it was my place to uink? their call pleasant not theirs to entertain mc. Before they left I had quite recover ed my poise. Mr. Hunting.on said ho was going to make up a party, some evening, to dine at a very popular res taurant out in tlw snhurbs, and wanted to know if George and I would go. Of course I had to tell him I would con sult mv husband. Hut I was delighted. Perhaps Georgo would go and take me. Before thev left we became qui.e gay.

Rippling Rhymes by Walt Mason A DISMAL DAY An ice cold rain is falling, sometimes it's -essas mixed with sleet; the optimist is calling, "This rain will save the wheat!" Then I ear, and crack my heels together, and raise a lusty cheer. If rainstorm, blooming, bleeding, with gusts of sleet and snow, will bring the wheat we're needing, why, let the moisture flow. I never can be doleful, I al ways must be gay; i gloomy mood and soulful I'd like to spend a day; I wish I might be swabbine from mv fat. rhppks tno . Wl If U.! C"MI .. ... J-" " vesiiw tears; tmt when 1 start my sobbing the optimist appears. He laughs at my repin ing, with scornful laugh and loud, and shows the silver lining that features every cloud. The war sometimes seems getting the only goat I own; I yield myself to fret ting and put up quite a groan; and while I shed the briny, and trot out doubts and fears, with features bright and shiny the optimist appears. He has a hundred reasons why I should wear a smile; he shows that doubts are trea sons, and fears are out of styre. So arm in arm we teeter, a reuben and a hick, and swear this life is sweeter than taffy on a stick. 1 ..!?''. " Our Daily Story "Smi.1i," said Miss Mineola Smith. "Oh, Smith," repeated Tongs.
