NEW CHAPTERS OF INFAMY
Germany is writing new ch'apters of infamy in her
treatment of Belgium. Belgium legation communica
tions made public yesterday through the state department
showed deportations from occupied lielgium still con
tinued. These communications show that laborers are.
tent up behind the lines in France, and that women are
treated the same as men and made to work under lire.
Many of those deported have been "transformed into
veritable human -wrecks, dedicated to consumption, to a
life of invalidism and to death," said a protest to the Ger
man governor general. "Men and women are herded up
to do difficult tasks under fire with brutality and starva
tion their portion if they balk." This is the charge made
against the "kultured" Prussians who do the infernal
work of their fiendish master, and of the still more fiend
ish militarists who are his spokesmen. Reading of the
atrocities committed by the Prussian hordes when Bel
gium was first overrun made the hearts of mankind liter
ally sick, but we have become inured to these things be
cause the brutality of the Hun has forced us to become
familiar with them. At the same time the unspeakable
crimes that have been committed, are being made to ap
pear small by the still more dreadful ones conjured from
the bottomless pit by the inhuman Hun and committed
aeainst an innocent and gallant people whom war has
placed at their disposal. An Apache Indian whose high
est pleasure is to torture an enemy would find in the high
ly civilized and kultured Hun such a super-Apache that

Arrangements have been completed for putting Oregon
on a wheatless basis, and also for reducing the quantity
of sugar that may be purchased at one time. We do not
know whether this arrangement is for the entire United
States or just for Oregon. If it is the orders of the
National Food Administrator Hoover, no patriotic citizen
will make the slightest objection: Oregonians are ready
to go over the top among the first in any measure that will
help win the war. We will get down to a strictly vege
tarian basis if it is necessary, but before the people of
Oregon will do that cheerfully they want to know that
the balance of the country is doing the same thing. Ore
gonians are wiling to make any sacrifice the country
may ask of them for the benefit of the boys in France,
ours or those of the allies, but they are not willing to do
this to gratify the vanity of any individual who wants to
make a record for himself. If it is necessary to eo on a

BLUFFING THE GERMAN PEOPLE
The Germans have suffered tremendous losses, but
they are far from beaten yet. With the allies holding
them for another month however their chances for vic
tory will have gone glimmering. Every day they are
losiner. however lightly, of their man power, and every
dav the allies are gaining by the steady addition of
American troops. There can be but one end to this com
bination, and that is defeat for militarism and the kaiser.
General Von Stein, Wednesday, told the reichstag that
"the crown prince's victory was the greatest defeat the
allies had yet suffered," and that the nd was not lar
away. He also told its members that the Americans were
a disappointment to the allies, that they could not fight
and that there were less than 200.000 of them. This latter
statement shows how much reliance can be placed on any
of his other statements. As a matter of fact General Von
Stein was currying favor with his master the kaiser, by
elorifvinc? the kaiser's son; The crown prince has
achieved no victory and if the end of the war is near as
t he general stated, then the Germans are nearer whipped
than anyone supposed them to be.
' Yesterday saw the end of school, or at least of the pub
lic school for 117 of Salem's boys and girls. Each and
every one of them has the best wishes of the entire com
munity for long lives well and nobly . lived. They are
Salem's finest product, and one. in which all of us take
especial pride. The Capital Journal congratulates them
tne and all and if the coming years treat them one-half
ts well as it hopes they will, theirs will be indeed such
lives as make the world better for their having been lived.
It is a matter of wonderment as to how long Sweden
will stand for the ruthless sinking of her ships and the
destroying of the lives of her citizens. Yesterday the
Swedish steamer Dora was torpedoed without warning
and went to the bottom snuffing out the lives of nine
Swedish sailors. Germany has arrogated to herself the
right to sink any vessel, anywhere and without cause.
This too, after declaring she was "fighting for the free
dom of the seas." She probably thinks that term means
"freedom for Germany." There was a time when Swedes
did some hard fighting. They may dp it again. i
Reports from the Austrian Tyrol yesterday' stated that
not only are the Huns using criminal methods against
tne .Belgians, but that they do not spare even their allies,
It is stated that thirty thousand Austrian women and
girls. have been forced by hunger to' join the women'3
battalions working close to the front lines. The idea of
making the punishment fit the crime might as well be
abandoned so far as punishing the Prussians is con
cerned, for it is an impossibility. .
"A dog laughs with his tail" and evidently a mule sings
with his rather unornamental caudal appendage. The
veterinary sharps working on this theory and the well
known remedy used by the old time school masters, by
which as Saxe puts it:
"For as 'tis meet to soak ye feet '
Ye ailing head to mend,
Ye yonker's pate to stimulate,
He beats ye tother end."
So the animal doctors in order to remove the Jennv
Lind propensities of the army mule .adopt a remedy "a
posteriori" by stopping the uplift of the tail. It is a long
ways from cause to effect.
A dispatch from Paris late yesterday told of an ex
plosion in the Skoda gun works near Pilsen, on May 25 in
which more than V,W persons were killed and 700 injured.
This is one of the little things the German censor sees
does not get across the borders if they can help it. '
The circus came and is gone, but it will be a long time
before it is forgotten by some of those who twenty years
from now perhaps will be taking another crop of little

THOSE INTERESTED TLEASE CALL
AT THE BANK
OVER THERE
Our boys are swarming over there, as fast
and thick as blazes; at which the kaiser
rends his hair and hands out smoky phrases.
He thought we were so far away, across
such wastes of ocean, we'd never cut a deal
of hay, but now he's changed his motion. He
understood his submarines would keep our
boys from landing. He thought the allies
would be whipped, he'd wind up all the
slaughter, before our soldiers could be
shipped across the briny water. But now
his hopes are gone to smash, their wreck is
most distressing, and now he sees, through
his moustache, how punk was all his guess
ing. Oh, now our boys are over there, to swat the Huns
and bleed 'em, to can the kaiser and his heir, and save
the world to freedom. And every day another bunch
goes sailing o'er the water, to demonstrate our western
punch, and make the tyrant totter. We'll show the Teuts
what force can mean, with never stint or limit; well earn
a glory most serene, and ages cannot dim it. Our bovs
will put Red Bill on ice, and set his doom bells tolling; and
it is ours to raise the price, and keep the ball a-rolling. I
have a keg of picayunes, and I won't lightly skim it, but
dig tne bundle up ertsoons, with never sunt or limit.

more Julia Colins asserted herself. She
was not a woman to yield easily toj
another. It seemed to me at times asi
if she thought I had absolutely no right j
to my opinion, no real right to be mar-i
ried to George. But I tried dcsperatelvl
to remember all Mrs. Sexton had told
aie, and to follow her instructions to
uio the same weapons Mrs. Collins did
to interest Gcoige.
A Hatter of Clothes.
I watched Mrs. Collins closely. I no
ticed she invariably wor.e colors George
admired; and that if h told her a par
ticular gown was becoming which he
was apt to that she wore that gown
frequently although she might have
many more beautiful ones. Bo I took a
leaf from hi'r book on dress. I took
thought each time I dressed. I chose col
ors George liked, and the gowns he had
claimed suited me. I was repaid when
one day Its said:
. "You are very smart nowadays, Hel
en. I like to see you always well dtese
ed. If you need anything to add to your
wardrobe order it."
We spent most of onr time upon the
water. I had learned to overcome the
feeling of mal-de-mer, and enjoyed
nothing so much as a long day fishing
with George. Occasionally we would go
alono. Then I was wildly happy. Of ten
er Julia Collins and others were with
us. At such times I was so busy trying
to play the hostess in a way to please
ueorge, trying to Keep my temper and
my poise in spite of anything that hap
pened x naa no time to really enjoy
myself. Tet when George, would show
by a word or look that he was pleased
with me, I was not unhappy.
So the summer went bv. The middle
of September found ns back in More
lands. The decorators had been at work
during our absence and the houss was
in perfect order. Marr, the cook, James
and Annie had each returned from their
vacations taken in turn and were
there to receive us.
"Doesn't it seem good to be back
homef" I asked Georee.
That sounds as if you hadn't en
joyed your summer."
Oh, I did! But everything is so love
ly, and I know we are going to be so
happy."
' There is no reason you should not al
ways be happy. If is your- own fault
when you are not!"
iSot always, George. Sometimes 1
am unhappy because of the actions of
others." it was a daring thing to say
to him, but he apparently paid no at
tention.
Evelyn Beeves Hakes a Confession.
"I hav sent word to Gray to come
and hang your portrait," he remarked.
"Kes."
"I want it hung in a good light, and
I do not feci competent to judge of the
best place for it."
"When will he comet"
"Tomorrow night."
I was pleased, as I always was at the
idea or seeing Merton Gray, being with
him. Yet George had been so kind, so
thoughtful of me the past few weeks
that I had no desire, to turn to another
for compauy as I had in the past.
Evelyn was back and came over that
afternoon. What a lot yre nad o tell
each other. She was as brown as a berry
and happy as could be. She expected
soon to UeCtjmp a mother, and all ot
Kurts' people as well as Kurts himself
were delighted.
His mother acts as if she reallv
eared a little for me now." she said
happily.
"But aren't you afraid that children,
a baby, will take up so much of vour
time that Kurts will grow away from
you?" 1 asked, recalling the con versa
tion I had overheard on the hotel porch
at Xarraganset.
No, why should If I think it will
make him care more about being with
me instead of less."
I said no more but I thought that
Evelyn was young, like myself. I had
had such ideas too until the older wo
men, the women whom George thought
periect. or nearly so, naa said that a
woman was apt to lose her husband if
she became a mother. I never doubted
they were right.
Helpful Hints on Banking
To Forward Money
Money orders and Telegraphic Transfers
are two means of forwarding money from one
place to another. The former is a safe, con
venient and inexpensive way to forward
funds by mail. The latter, being by telegraph,
of course is quicker in case the need be
urgent. ' ,
You will find the United States National
Bank affording these two services.

Adenoids, No. 1.
The number of children afflicted
with this disease is so groat that
I have no doubt the question Is
often asked by anxious mothers:
"Is there any child that is froe
from them?"
Yes, there are those who haven't
got them, and others who have very
little trouble from them and who will
get over them if they are properly
brought up and have good food and
good surroundings.
But other children are so handi
capped by them and made so 111,
that their removal Is the only prop
er course, and this may be very
easily done in most cases.
What are adenoids?
The mucous membrane of the
throat and nose normally contains
what is called "lymphoid tissue,"
which means tissue resembling
lymph glands and lympth tubes.
When this is Increased and form3
lumps which project into the nos
trils or the cavity of the throat,
such lumps are called adenoids.
They may bo no larger than a
pea, or they may be of greater size
and in bunches, like small grapes.
The larger they are, the more
they will obstruct the air passage
In tbe nose and throat, one who has
them being compelled to breathe
through his moTith Instead of his
nose, as he ought to.
The result will be that the mu
cous membrane will constantly be
dry; dust and germs will find easy
entrance to the mouth; and the de
velopment of the child thus afflicted
will be hindered.
Nobody has any monopoly of
adenoids; they occur at all ages,
to the infant and the old man or
woman, but they are mit common
and troublesome in children from
eight to twelve.
In children, they are sott; they
absorb poisons readily and furnish
an excellent medium for the culture
and development of disease germs.
In adults, they are harder, and
bacteria cannot grow so readily
Upon them.
Remember that children suffer
most frequently from infectious dis
eases, and then you can understand
how easy it Is to catch them bv
means of adenoids and through the.
coiiHtantly open mouth.
When a baby has adenoids, ha
cannot breathe freely and has to
stop nursing, frequently, in order
to catch his breath.
So It often happens that such
babies do not get uir enough and
their blood is not properly aeratad.
Very likely they do not get food
enough, either hence their diges
tion suffers, their sleep is disturbed,
and their entire nutrition la
affected.
Older children with adenoids ara
also unable to breathe properly
while eating; their food Is not
thoroughly masticated and they,
too, will Buffer with imperfect dk
gostion and poor nutrition. i
Waking and sleeping, they are
mouth breathers, they snore, they
have bad dreams, and they have no
control over the bladder. ;
Frequently there Is a nasal
catarrh, tn such cases, the dis
charge running down opon the lips
and Into the throat and stomach;
the appetite disappears, and any
body can see that the children are
unhealthy and In bad condition, i
