German arrogance has thus awakened Russi j.t suspicion and stirred the Slavs to anger. It will be impos sible to ever remove this feeling and it is now a certainty that Russia will soon be again fighting on the side oi the allies. By getting busy with the. Germans at once Russia would be doing a good turn for the allies, for it would compel the withdrawal of troops from the western front or the sending of practically the entire Austrian armies against them. German arrogance and contempt for any thing and everything that is not German has turned the people of Russia against the kaiser and destroyed all chance of keeping that great country neutral. German CHAPTER LXXX. The next morning I called Evelyn. Slio had already lmard front Clark, and had cousented to go. " "It will be awfully jolly," she said. "I saw him go by in the car, yester day, and it is a peach." it was. A high powered touring car with an especial body, it could seat five com fortably, but really was designed for only four. The seat in the tonneau was built up high in the; back, so that do wind struck the back of one's neck when riding. The front seat was lower but also protected. "Will you take the front seat beside me?" Clark asked as we stood on the walk. "Mrs. Keeve and your brother j can entertain each other." Just a suspicion crossed m mind but I at once dismissed it. Had he asked Evelyn with that iu mind? Did he plan to have me sit with him? " I '1 rido with vou going, then change with either David or Ev.olyn coming back," I said, as I let Clark help mo to niv seat. "That's a good idea," Evelyn said, You can come back with me then, progress made.

The allies a-iit the attack with perfect confidence and declare they are ready to meet, and able to cope with any forces the Ger man leader can send against them. Since the last g"-;at battle in which the allied forces were placed in jeopardy by the mistakes, or worse, of a British general, the com mand of all the forces has been in the hands of one man, General Foch. This will prevent another fiasco like that mentioned, when because of the retirement of the British under General Gough the French had to fall back a long distance in order to close the gap left between the British and French armies. Besides this placing full power with will not be long until there is a genuine conflagration. "While Senators Chamberlain, Brandegee and other obstructionists attack and villify the administration, Secretary Baker, the chief target of their attacks, goes ight ahead making good. News comes now from Europe that the English and French are astounded at the plans of the Americans for prosecuting the war and the great By JAXE PHELPS THE NEW CAB 13 CHRISTENED available in the coming battle. If they are, here in America at least we all feel that they will give such an account of themselves as will make the boches shy about attempting to swarm over them. A half million Arier icans is a pretty big and hard bunch to whip. The Shipping Board is waking up to the fact that ships built for use in the coastwise trad?, even though made of wood will relieve more big steel ships now engaged in trade on the Pacific or the Atlantic coast, A fleet of Oregon built wooden ships to bring the wheat of Australia to this country is indispensible. If the war is to last for two or three years yet, as some in high authority believe, this service on the Pacific may be thi means of preventing a bread shortage that would make our armies useless. The Shipping Board announces that th3 contracts recently let for the building of 200 wooden ships will be followed by another lot of 200 ships of 4,700 tons each being built, and as many of these as Oregon shipyards can handle will.be contracted in this state. There being a rumor going the rounds to the effect that the coarser war breads were responsible for the breaking out of rash and also serious stomach troubles, caused the city bacteriologist of Portland, Professor Pernot to state that instead of being injurious they were a blessing forced upon the American people who through the use of bleached flour had caused themselves all sorts of dietetic disturbances. The use of the coarser breads, he thinks, has come to stay too, and that this result will follow the knowledge forced on many that the coarser varieties are the better for one's health. The war is go ing to change many things just as it already has changed many. One of these will be the American bill of fare. Oregon must furnish 1,500 men for the new draft, and of these Marion county must supply 76. District number one which includes the southern part of the county and Salem will furnish 48 and district number two, the north end of the county will be called on for 28. - The Capital Journal gave the names of those called in this district in its issue of Thursday, and this will be the first notice many of those drawn will receive, as the notifications were mailed after the paper went to press. If, as some politicians assert, no airplanes have been built what has become of the immense amount of air plane timber sent east? The truth is that the critics are misrepresenting the facts. The call now is to speed up aircraft material production to ;0,000,000 feet a month. If this amount of timber is necessary someone is surely building a fleet of aircraft of somo size. The people of the United States through their uncle Samuel have loaned Siberia $1,000,000 making $8,000,000 in all we have loaned that country. It will probably need still further assistance as the people are reported as starv ing in some sections owing ' to lacl; of transportation facilities. They all borrow of Uncle. The appointment of Chas. E. Hughes, late republican candidate for president, to investigate the aircraft bureau, gives the lie.to the assertion of the Oregonian and other partisan newspaper organs, that the probe is to be a mere political white-washing affair. It is up to Hughes, the biggest republican of them all, to get at the real facts. Uncle Sam has ordered the Italian flag displayed on all public buildings May 24, that being the day on which Italy entered the war. As our good old Uncle Samuel does not own any Italian flags his postmasters and others in charge ot public buildings are supposed to hustle around and borrow them. Rippling Rhymes by Walt Mason' - LOOK PLEASANT ' The news that comes from o'er the seas oft makes my face with fear grow pale, and I can feel my tootsies freeze, while I peruse the dismal tale. I read how Teuts have pushed a wedge right through the allies, deep and wide, and I exclaim, "It's time to hedgt the tail is going with the hide. Some moons ago I used to scoff at those who said the Teuts would win; but at this hour all bets are off, and here's where hedging must hedge the tail is goini; with the hide. Some j way when you are mingling with the bunch; you mignc aisnearten some poor jay, ana make him think we've Inst, nur rwnrh Vm, know as well as I do, James, vour lamentations nrp n f nW we'll lose, perchance, a brace of gamesthe series we are oouna to take. What if our armies sometimes slide, and lose a hill, a tor or tarn? You know we'll get the Teuton's hide, and nail it deftly to the barn." Thus sh.nmprl hv my Amanda Jane, I shoo my dotard fears away, and gj kerwhooping down the lane, to market the neighbors feel more gay.

A Real Country Luncheon I never had seen the place, before, and was delighted with it. Clark order ed the luncheon. We were too busy look ing around the yard to pay any atten tion to what he oidVred, so it was all a surprise. We had great foamy pitchers of milk to drink, a cold roast chicken, hot bis cuits and honey, then luscious straw berries with cream so thick we could searcly pour it from the dainty little blue-and-white pitchers. It was all delicious, and we ate until Evelvn declared she would have to be carried to the car, and David boyishly said he was "full enough to bust. After wo had rested a while on the broad veranda. Clark told us to pick all the flowers we wanted; he had made arrangements with the dear old lady who owned the place. Sho came ' out while we were doing as ho said, and she helped us. Such a wonderful looking car as it was, when we finally Btarted toward home. Flowers on our laps, in front of us on the floor of the car, and on tli,. seat beside us. I made up my mind to tell George of the place. Ho and I would drive out, some Saturday or Sunday, and have lun cheon. He couldn't help but be charm .d with the quaint place and the de licious food. I rode with Evelyn, going back, Just why Clark had cared who sat beside him. I couldn't understand; for hi had hardly spoken all the way out was busy driving the car. "Trying to get used to it' he said. He was a very fast, although I do not think a particularly rtckless driver. But the machine was a different make from either of tlio others he owned, and he was interested in its management. An Unwelcome Meeting. We were within a couple of miles oi home when I saw a machine approach ing us. Someway, it looked familiar. Then, just as we passed each other in a cloud of dust, I saw that it was our car, and that Ucorge and a woman swathed in veils were the occupants. I said nothing, although I knew that Evelyn had also recognized George. I only hoped that David had not. He had been talking animatedly with Clark, when th.ey passed; both cars were going at such a high rate of speed that I hard ly beliewed he had noticed who was driving the other car. I knew if he had, I should be iu for a bad half hour when we reached home. I felt sick. Iu a way, I suppose I should have thought that George had just as much right to take a woman for a motor ride as I had to go with Clark. But, someway, it seemed so dif ferent., He never would take me any where during business hours; ho always objected when I wanted to go in the touring car. Then, I wasn't alone with Clark, and he WAS with that woman, whoever she was. Another thing, too: George didn't care. He wasn't the least bit jealous of me. And I DID care. I WAS jealous. I wished I could make him feel about me as I did about him. I would be sure he lov,ed we, if I could. Now I thought sometimes he caied a little for uie, and again that he cared not at all. It was a full hour before dinner, when Clark drew up to the curb, Evelyn lived further dowa-towa. Ike would drop her afterward. David and I were loaded with lovely flower.i, when we climbed the steps, and an 1 1 t.li it rr a n yl eadminirlc anM.f.aa we bade Clark and Evelyn good-by.?.

National Bank Building Salem, Oregon Merchant Financial Wreck Sate Police Fire Shots at Supposed Jesse Baldwin Baldwin is still at large and appar ently has made his get-away good for the time being. This morning about 3 o'clock members of the state police guarding the railroad bridge over the Willamette ftt Wilsouville fired sev eral shots at someone whom they sup posed to be the escapd convict. Word was received by the state polico yes terday that a man answering Baldwin's description hud been sceu near Wil-j -onville, and a squad of the state police! was sent at once to the scene. The man was aoen on the other side of the, river, and as there was a guard on the bridge, who ever it was must have erosseu wJ bridge unless he had beaten the guards, the shooting, hut no further trace of tho to it, and in that case he would have man shot at could be found.

Helpful Hints On Banking OTHER RECEIPTS NOT NECESSARY It is becoming a custom in the business world not to return receipts when checks are received in payment of accounts. This is be cause Checks in themselves are now recog nized as Receipts. The payee is required to endorse a check before the bank will honor it. The check is then stamped PAID and in time is returned to the maker.
