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.

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.

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. ; ,

Ask State Emergency
Board for More Money
0. A. G, Corvallis, Ore., June 7.
Additional funds ara needed for the
completion of the State lime plant at
Gold Hill. 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.

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.

OUR DAILY STORY
THE WITNESS.
All his life Parriac Beering had long

lawyer rom a witness stand.
"The bulldoxing, blackguarding par

he attempted a trial. "Oh, for a good
stiff chance to show one of the bully

there's at least on) man in tho worlfl

Then, one day, ha had his chanee at
last. He was called as a witness in

perhaps the most vicious lawyar in tlys
world, rose to question him.
"Mr. Beering," began Beetler, suave

the plaintiff by passing over his neck?"
"I did, perfectly" responded Padriae

"Ahhhh," pured Beetler. "Ana u

"Excellent," nepliea ueering crispiy.
