GERMANS ADMIT DEFEAT " ' The German government has confessed in the reichstag that Von Hindenburg cannot win the war for the central empires, says J. W. T. Mason, United Press war expert. This is by far the most significant declaration in For eign Minister Von Kuehlmann's speech. His statement that peace cannot be gained on the battlefield, but must -come by negotiation' is destined to have far reaching consequences upon German morale. The German people were led to believe that the! rightful slaughter of German "man power during the four western offensives this spring would end the war with a Teutonic victory. Now that Von Kuehlman has made the naive admission that peace cannot be gained by such means, there must eventually be a profound reaction in bermany. TTindpnhnrp's reDutation among his own Kuehlmann's revelation in the reichstag. It is difficult to TTinnhiiriT will hp iustified in orderine another offensive. Further calls on themselves anew to break tne be associated with Von Kuehlmann's confession tnat peace varmot be won on the battlefield. ; Without naming the United States, Von Kuehlmann pointedly indicates that American troops are the obstacle to Germany's battle field success. This he does by at tributing the impossibility of a military decision to the "includinc the one from over- t,pas." The inference is very that by forcing America into the make known to the leaders 01 uerman puonc opinion ex actly how the situation stands. For this reason he has adopted the method of verbal suggestion. Germany is not yet beaten; but the German government has gone further than ever before in admitting that the German army cannot win. Whatever Hindenburg may do, and however the kaiser may boast, Von Kuehlmann's speech means Germany henceforth can only cling to the defensive. The German government's sole purpose now is to save what it can from the wreck of the war. That is why Von Kuehlmann uses vague generalities about "historic boundaries" in describing Germany's peace terms. ROAD BUILDING POSTPONED , Most of us want good roads and had looked forward to considerable permanent improvement work this year. The government, however, is not encouraging the build ing of roads- beyond the ordinary repair work, at this time. The reason for this policy is apparent. The nation is in a hard, stern struggle with a foreign foe; all its resources in men and money are being called into play as fast as it is possible in pursuance of a definite policy of efficiency. To employ large forces in the building and paving of roads would naturally conflict with this policy. Labor is scarce and materials extremely high, making the cost of road-building almost prohibitive and its progress slow. Contractors on jobs already under way are having no end of difficulty. After the war is over thousands of men will return Iiome to find employment. If Oregon has accumulated some millions of road money it might go a-long way tp ward providing employment and assist in the re-adjustment of business and industry to a normal basis. . It is not seriously to be regretted, therefore, that the road-building program of the state highway commission has been curtailed by lack of government co-operation.

Von Kuehlmann has Germany has ruined herself war; yet, he is compelled to Chicago and Milwaukee, is SHALL RED CROSS WORK BE COMPULSORY? There are not enough Red Cross workers in Salem. Other towns and cities report a similar shortage. Appeals to patriotism seem to have little effect; those best able to work are apparently not inclined to voluntarily answer the call to back up" the ' soldiers who are fighting in France. Many women are doing faithful work and among these is a large percentage of those least able to answer the, call. In a city like Salem hundreds of young women with little or nothing to do at home have not gone to the Red Cross work rooms at all. This condition leads to the conclusion that if volunteer work must be depended upon to supply the Red Cross hospitals and certain other needs and comforts of the soldiers communities must take more drastic action to impress the slackers; women might be registered just as the drafted men are and classified according to their means and ability to work. If such a course cannot be taken without legal enactment such enactment should not be postponed by congress. If all were compelled to do their share in every community that share would not be burdensome. Now all the work of patriotism and mercy is falling upon a comparatively few who are being over worked, as well as worried, because the community's allotment is not promptly filled. "We must realize that the country is at war a war that may tax our every resource before the end comes and that one kind of slacker is just about as bad as another. It is a veritable melting pot in which true Americanism is being rendered the woman who is not doing every thing in her power to help the nation in its peril is not fit to be the mother, sister or sweetheart of an American citizen or American soldier. The more we read the fool speeches made by senators like Lodge, Fall, Brandegee, McCumber and many others, we cannot but realize how fortunate the.cowntry.is at this time in having a level-headed man like, President Wilson at the head of affairs. It is really too bad that he. cannot send both houses of congress home and keep them there where they can do no harm until after the war is over. Of course the president generally gets what he wants in the end from the legislative body, but it : must require much of his time and cause him much worry to keep this bunch of politicians from making fools of t themselves to the extent that the nation's interests arej not impaired. Lodge, Fall- Sherman and Brandegee especially are mem bers of the senate who ought to be. muzzled in the interest of national defense. ; , i Rippling by Walt IT WILL END : The captain and the colonel still bravely charge the foe; but nothing is eternal in r f&r, 1 tnis Punk world below; some day when we I I "T are snooping around with spirits drooping, lair peace will come kerwhoopmg, and end the reign of woe.

THE END. By Beatrice Ooldle "Somowhorf in France" the papers snv Moti are fighting night and day, TVmg there in the gloom of night, Giving their lives for God and the Bight: lied liy the hand of justice they went To (lef.-uid the cause of the innocent, To crush. the tyrant on laud and acas, And give to tho world a lasting Peace. Somewhere at home, many miles away, Women are wivping night and dav, Weeping with hearts that sting and ache Beneath their burden, but do not break; i)ars are tlieir lives as th robes they wear, " For loved ones who perished "over there." God' gift to woman through all the year Of grief aad eourage is but tears. Somewhere in Hell there Is A place Waiting and waiting night and dav, For those who plunged the human race Tnto this cniel and bloody fray; Who sought to drag all nations down To gratify a degenerate erown, And Sntan'it mission will be rompletc When he sees them writhing at his feet, Somewhere in Hell.

The Oregonian state lime board will Tenew its application for $10,000 additional funds at the next meeting of the state emergency board. Detailed reports of progress thus far were submitted at a meeting of the liino board at the Oregon Agricultural College by Dean A. B. Cordley, chair man of the board, and Charles Murphy of Salem, secretary. .' The board finds it necessary to mark time until additional money is forthcoming," commented Dean Cord ley. "The plant would be ready for operation by July 15 if the fund were at hand. . "The board believes that it is only good business to complete the plant this summer rather than, to have to stand the extra expense of providing for the care and housing of the ma chinery. Thia $20,000 plant i now nearly ready for operation. The de mand for lime is nrgent and the im portune of inccensing agricultural penauce vi increasing agucuiiurui as strongly emphasized," t The Woman Wto Changed By JAKE PHELPS CHAPTEBCGV. On my way home from Erelym'g I stumbled and fell. It was carelessness on my part. I was so engaged in thiuking of Evelyn's baby, so pleased that she had named it for me, that I didn't see a stone on the crossing; and tripped over it. As I was scrambling to my feet hoping no ouo had seen my undignified performance I heard some one say: "Let me help you! Are you hurtt" and llerton Gray assited me to rise, lie held my arm a moment to steady me and in that moment Madge Loring came along, I never was so embarrassed in my life It was bad enough to have Merton see me stretched full length on the ground; but to have Madge Loring come along just then was too awful. Mv clothes were covered with dust, my hat wae awry. I knew I looked a sight. "What is itt A rescue of some sortt" she asked as I jerked away from Mor ton. Hor tone made me angry and I an swered icily: "It was, a most fortunate one," tluen I turned to Merton, "Thank you, Mr Gray, now i you are ready we'll hurry on and get that cup of tea I promised you." All the time I was talking I tried to make myself mora presentable. First 1 tried to straighten my hat, then to brush the dust from my Bkirt, Merton also helped brush me. Mm. Loring Thinks Falls Ludicrous "It makes one feel so sily and smajj to fall in th.9 street, doesn't it?" Madge Loring asked, then without waiting for a reply, "It always strikes the onlook er as so ludicrous, even though tho icr son who fell may be hurt. I always feel like laughing when I Bee anyone fall." "I suppose you , would enjoy seeing others laugh if you fell," I remarked sarcastically. "Oh, I never fall, but some people are naturally clumsy," she returned then said "good-bye" and hoped I would feel no bad effects of my fall and rather maliciously added: "I trust you will enjoy your tea." "Cat!" Merton said as soon as she was out of hearing. "Did you really mean that you were going to be kind and give me a cup of teaf " "Certainly I will if you care for it. But to bo honest I said it on the spur of the moment. I was so embarrassed to have her see me. I suppose I was clumsy, but oh, well it is over now. I will try and look where I am going after this. But I was thinking of my littlfl namesake." "Your what!" . "Evelyn Beeves has a little daughter and she has named her for me. I am delighted to think she did so, and was thinking what I should givo the baby for a christening gift when I stumbled over that stone." "You are sure you aren't hurt? " "Only my pride! That is terribly bruised." "Don't mind her. She may fall some day." I wasn't thinking entirely of Mrs. Loring, I had bean terribly mortified to have Merton see me. But I answered: "I hope she does, and that I will be where I soe her," at which Merton laughed heartily, then added: "Me too!" A Serious Talk When we reached the house I excuwd myself mid left Merton in the library while I went upstairs and changed my soiltd dress and rearranged my hair. When I looked in the glass and saw how blowsy I was I flushed again to think tlint Madgo Loring hnd seen me But I soon forgot the. contretemps wheo Merton and I began to talk. I had ordered the tea things when I went up, and everything was ready for me." I made the tea and then we chat ted. Merton touched very lightly upo hig foeliug for me; said he had bee f thinking things over, and that he wantj ed me to forgive him for presuming. H had perhaps thought me inoro unhappy than I was, and had acted accordingly. Then ho stopped talking of our affairs aud told m.e of places he had visited stories of people he knew; and finally he told me of many things lie iiacj exper ienced, things which seriously affect ed him, and which w.ere intensely inter esting. We talked until nearly tinio for George to come in. An intimate, seriou talk that n.ade nie feel I kn.ew Morton Gray, the REAL Merton Gray for .the first time. When George .came in I told him of my day. Of the baby, how cute it was at which ho smiled rather indulgently but said nothing. Then I told him of my fall, of Mertou Gray happening along, of his assistance; of Madge Lor ing and her catty remarks, then of my tea with Merton, and some of th things ho had told me, the serious things. To my surprise George said nothing about my clumsiness. His only remark anent mv fall being: "You are sun? you weren't hurt?" I gave him the same answer I had xivw Merton. That "My pride only was bruis ed", at which ho laughed.

APPUU ON BANQUET BILLATSANANTONIO Satan Bey.TeDj Akct Life a Texis Camp Where Weather h Hot Arthur T&sto, who is stationed at Fort Sara Houston, near San Antonio, Texas, in the mechanical repair shops of the Q. M. C, writes as follows as to what the Oregon boys are doing down in that hot conntrv :n' and around "Pan Tone": ''Last Friday all the Orciron bovs had- a banquet at the Monger hotel, ban Ai.onio. There T.as about 40 present and also Captain. Warrens, the adjutaut general. He is from Portland, a fiffe feilow and we are very glad to have him. home do not like him very well as he is strict, but he is a real man. "I'll bet you couldn't guess what we started the banquet with. Well it was "Appluju," made in Salem. It was a chicken supper and we all -enjoyed it so much because we do not very often get such as that. We also had plenty of music, rather jaw.y, but it was music' nevf rtheless. Music was furn ished by l Oregon boy, and two boys from Indiana who were adopted as Uregonian-s. "The reins in Texas are severe but not very lengthy. When it does rain it is best to seek shelter. The storms come up very suddenly, usually after a rcw days of warm weather and are accompanied by a wind. " "I have a new job now, what they call a company clerk. It is rather an interesting job but it certainly re quires a lot of patience, especially with, the "rookies", who ask many foolish- and useless questions. I was once. a "rookie" though, and prob ably asked as many foolish things, so I shouldn't kick. At the nresent time there are 356 men in this company, so you can guess what kind of a job I have; One-third of the men are al lowed to go out ou a pass at one time. "Units are being organized every day for shipment to France. They are given a thoroughly physical examina tion and completely ouafitted, . even given trench helmets. The 90th Division of Camp Travis has left tak ing men who have been in tho service only a month or six weeks. That goes to show row they are rushing troops to France. Arthur Einehart, a Salem boy, went with the tfOth Division." The lttter was - written to Mrs. Mildred B. Brooks, thanking her for magazines she had sent the boys at Eort Sam Houston.

In tho early stages prices were moderate ly higher with few exceptions but to ward mid-day business lapsed into ex treme dullness on a declining movement which carried most of the active issues back to the Wednesday's closing level.

All his life Parriac Beering had long ed for a chance to fac a prosecuting lawyer rom a witness stand. "The bulldoxing, blackguarding par allelepipeds!" he would fume each time he attempted a trial. "Oh, for a good stiff chance to show one of the bully ragging, overbearing pomposities that there's at least on) man in tho worlfl they can't reduce-to a watery-kneed, buttery-spined nnllityl' Then, one day, ha had his chanee at last. He was called as a witness in nit for damages, and Bristles Beetler perhaps the most vicious lawyar in tlys world, rose to question him. "Mr. Beering," began Beetler, suave ly, '.'did you see the so-called accident, when the .reputed six-ton truck waa said to have permanently embarrassed the plaintiff by passing over his neck?" "I did, perfectly" responded Padriae Beering promptly and snappily.' "Ahhhh," pured Beetler. "Ana u your eye sight good!" . "Excellent," nepliea ueering crispiy. " You don't wear glasses?" "Kr only for reading purposes." An expression of devastating horror flooded the lawyer's receptive features "Sir,'1 he boomed, "how dare yoH stand there with biaien effrontery and i ell tlrs intelligent court that you saw tho reputed incident 'perfectly' and that your eys sight is ' excellent ' and then in the F.m0 breath, or at least the next brenth, admit that jt is neces sary for vMi to .wear glasses?
