HIS OPPORTUNITY VANISHING There are more than a million Americans in France, doing their bit toward removing the kaiser from power in Germany. Of these about two-thirds are actual fighting men, and these more than make good all losses of the allies pince the last drive started. Germany has had" no way to make good her losses, and these conditions will continue ,to prevail. There will be a steady decline of German man-power and a steady increase of that of the allies. This condition followed to its natural result shows how little chance the kaiser has of accomplishing anything. .His last opportunity to achieve success is that at present .existing on the French front, and this he is allowing to slip away, as daily the forces against him are growing .stronger. That Von Hindenburg would have struck be fore this was anticipated, but so far he seems .unable to get his forces in shape that he dares make the trial. Re ports are to the effect that an epidemic of Spanish in fluenza pervades the German camps and that this is one reason of his unaccountable delay in striking one last desDerate blow. Every day of delay is a gain for the al lies, and a corresponding injury to the Teutons, for in the neighborhood of 10,000 Americans sre being added daily .to the forces gathering against them for a crushing blow. i Reports from the western front are to the effect that more Germans are voluntarily surrendering than ever before. Military experts lay this to decreasing morale due to the belief rapidly gaining ground among the Ger man troops that they cannot win. The German is a splendid soldier so long as he is winning but he has not the staying qualities that make him as good a soldier in a losing fight. Once he knows he is whipped, he is whipped, and is willing to admit it. At the same time it is suggested that the statement made by Kuhlmann that Germany could not win on the battlefield is having its effect. More than half of Austria's population of the Czechs, Jugo-Slavs and others are opposed to the govern ment and would fight against it if they had the opportunity- Recent estimates place the number in this class at 28,000,000 as against 22,000,000 the balance of the population. It is only the strength and influence of the Gei-man militarists that prevents open rebellion, and this condition will continue, until the German power is broken. Then the flood will break loose and sweep all before it. The worst feature of this condition is that the dams will rot break or the floods be released' until the German power is broken, and so it will have but little effect on the war which will be practically ended before the break comes. Making the run from Portland to Astoria in a little more than four hours is the auto record of a Portland man. Since he made the trip without accident he is re ceiving considerable praise, but had he ran into some other machine or vehicle, or gone over the grade, in his effort to beat time, the story would have been different It is just such "record makers" who cause accidents and who are arraying all America into two classes that sooner or later will clash. The two are those who own autos and those who do not. Utter disregard of the rights of the latter by a few of the former is bound to make trouble. German influence is such in Finland that that country is said to be about ready to declare war on the allies. The Finns are evidently not very well posted on the way the war is going or thev would find this a fine time to keep out of it. If they decide to take part they will get an object lesson soon that will leave the country with an en tirely different sort . of government from that they liave now. They will also find their country isolated and boycotted by the rest of the world dlong with the central powers. They should profit by the experience of Russia, i i ...... i ii. .t i. r ana Keep in mina mat wnaiever umnan jiungue nam tnces is ruined. J ohn Purry Mitchell, former mayor of New York City, was killed by the fall of his aeroplane today. In his death the nation loses a man of real worth, a tru,e Amer ican in all that the word implies. Defeated for re-election as mayor, after a bitter campaign, there was never a word of complaint or even explanation on his part. He took his defeat as the verdict of the people who have the right to decide. Enlisting in the aviation corps,. the former mayor gave promise of a brilliant career in this dangerous branch of army service. rjmmm a-sa-aw-wi.ni i Norway apparently likes bad treatment. Reports for the month of June show the Germans had sunk 20 Nor wegian ships with a tonnage of 26,833 tons and the loss of 31 lives. The total sinkings of Norwegian boats since the war started is 842 with a tonnage of 1,154,143 and total loss of lives of 1,742. The Norwegians in earlier days were great fighters, but apparently as a nation have deteriorated, and are afraid of the big beast at Berlin. It is rumored that the death of the Sultan of Turkey was hurried somewhat by the aid of his enemies. While he had been an invalid for years and was 74 years old it seems those who would succeed him could not wait for Nature to remove him. It is claimed in one story of his death that it was presumably part of a revolutionary movement in the Ottoman Empire.

Rippling Rhymes by Walt Mason The board of school directors of Portland removed Superintendent Alderman by the old political method of creating a new place for him and "promoting" him to it. In this case the board created the office of superintendent of war work and presented the job to Mr. Alderman. One cf the board members pointed out that the board was under contract with Mr. Alderman to retain him as super intendent until July 1919, but the board evidently looked upon this as a scrap of paper."

In secret, behind my locked door, I worked several hours each day on tao tiny garments I should need for my baby. 1 did the most wonderful embroidery, worked dainty patterns up on the sheerest lawn, and linen, and was happy as could be, doing it. But 'when 1 laid) it away' and took up my life with others, the thought of what was coming, of what it meant to nie because of George, almost siekened me. I suppose many who read will wonder why I accepted so utterly Julia Collins' speech about children; and why 1 should have applied it so literally to Georgo But Julia Collins had not only been held up to me as a pattern, ever since I had been married; 1 knew positively that S often had been neglected, left plone while George spent his time with hsi. I knew that he considered her most attractive, and very much worth while That her opinion of men was based upon her knowledge of my husband's hb.'s and dislikes, I took for grauted. Remember, 1 was still very voung, niv environment very different ffom that to which 1 had been accustomed at home my desire to be like those women whom G.'orge admired intense; and then per haps you will the more readily .under stand how I felt. I thought of writing mother. Then I knew she would wnrry about me that if I wrote her honestly, telling her the eonditons how I felt about things, and the attitude 1 believed would bo my husband's when he knew it would make her most unhappy. 8o I decided to wait. Later, I would write und beg her to come to me. So I continued to earn- my secret alone. I never acain refused to go out with Goorge when he asked me. I was only too anxious to be with him when, and fMWj J Soul tSlIIEEEZSa xisien u.wps Her vow. I had not cried again. Not when George was at homo, or enough so that. it could be noticed. Occasionally, when I was sewing, a few tears would drop upon my work; tears of self-pity that I instead of happily telling those4 loved, how matters were with me, as tvclyn Reeves had done, must hide, it as long I could. I think I grew a bit morbid over myself, and that mado things har der to bear. , We wero quite gay, and often I felt physically unable to go so much tobe quite so constantly on the go. But never since tlw night when,, after my refusal to go out with George, when he had been so annoyed with mo, had I objected to anything he proposed or that others proposed if it seemed agreeable to him. I danced, I sang. I entertained, and wont everywhere. Then, one night, I fainted. It was at a dinner dance at Julia Colius.' I felt ill before I went. But 1 said nothing, though Celeste, who knew, suspected my condition, urged me to remain at home, telling me 1 looked terribly ill. But I refused and after I was dressed, and more deftly rouged than I usually. was, I looked almost as usual. Even Georgo said noth ing except to compliment nio on my dress a lovely, misty tulle I had or dered especially for the occasion. They told -me afterward that George was dreadfully trighteiied when I fault ed that he was as white as I was, and that he insisted upon takiug' me home tlvj moment 1 recovered. aieleu Is 111. When wo reached home, he at once called Celeste and Annie to take care of me, and wanted to call the doctor. But I assured him 1 was all right and he left mo with them. "I will be in the library. Call me if you need me," he tuld thu maids. I urged them to put out the lights and leave me as soon as I was in bed.

After the maids left me, I grew stead ily worse; ouce or twice I felt as if I were dying, slipping away, down, down some terrible incline aud that I could not stop myself. I must have fuinted again. But when George came . up I was better, aud told him so. "We have been going it too hard," he said as he prepared for bed. Wo '11 cut out a few invitations, hereafter." "That will be nice." I agreed. I knew he expected no answer. George was soon asleep, but I again commenced to feel ill. I said nothing tor a louif time, then, fearing I was going to fauit again, a bit frightened also, I called him. "I feel very badly, George." He was out of bed in a minute. I should have had one as soon as we reached home. You objected so. stren uously, I gave in foolishly." "Yes, get the doctor." (Monday Helen Is Delirious) MUSICIANS USEFUL. - Washington, Ju!v 8.

Furnas, field secretary at the American Friends Sorvic com mittee, gave his recent" lecture in Sa lem telling of the work of the Friends in relation to war relief work, many folk found out tor tho first time the notable accomplishment of this organization. Aside from this lecture, little if any publicity has been given the work", and even those who heard the story for 'tneanselves went ay, for the most part, with ihe rather indefinite con viction that it all related to overseas relief and reconstruction work, losing sight of the fact that so tremendous an undertaking to be se successfully conducted by a body must represent tho indefatigable effort of the indi vidual. Because this is bo, the members of the 'Friends churches in Salem, as well as those in every congregation- in the United States', have allied themselves in ithe effort, and right here in Salem for months past groups of women have -been working with unabated intorcst and enthusiasm in the making of gar ments for the- refugee, and those made d's itute .by the war in Europe. Mrs. F. A. Elliott was early chosen ito supervise the sewing for all the lnb in ithe abate, President Teaming- 'ton of racjitie college, being general superintcjilnt of all work. Rev. H. E. 'Pemberton wus another from Salom to 'be honored with an official position. As has been said of the Quakers abroad, the local members are no't try ing to do Ithe BpactacuJar thing, hence ido not get themsolvesi talked about perhaps as much as they might. But that they have not been idle is shown by the report for the few months the 'women have .been working tolling of tho making of one hundred garments, -including quilts, baby layettes, chil dren's aprons and under garments. Between the Red CrosH and the Friends Service committeo there exists the warmest feeling, tho former asking it to mwuntpan itself andependently, realiaini? the hih standard that can be maintained when workers are per forming their itasks prompted hy relig ious motives. As a distinctive -organization it is entirely financed by Friends and is known in France in reconstruction work as tho ' 'Friends unit, a bureau of the department of civil attaira of the American Red Cross," and) as such it has a different relation to the Red Cross than any other unit or organi zation. Long before the American commis sion of the Red Cross was sent over- neers in reconstruction work. With the exception of the execotiv and of fuers. the department of civil affairs of the Red t'ross in France is composed almost entirely of mem bers of the Friends unit. As such their activities have included clothing, feed ing and housing refugees; manufac turing furniture and houses; erecting tuberculosis sanitariums; re-roofin; Rheima civil hospital; reconstructioa work in forty villages of Verdun dis trict; maintenance of maternity and convalescent hospitals; assistance ia finding hopes for Belgian children; threshing grain; raising of vegetables, distribution of seeds and eo forth ad infinitum. One official said, of them: "There was just one group which as a whole, stood up to every tost, and 0ul4 always be counted upon and that was tho Quakers. They had .certain sot bricty of discipline, a capacity for team work which no other group show ed. They didn't merely rise to the emergency, in a burst of temporary en thusiasm they worked steadily at ft' high pitch throughout." Speaking of the local folk and churches it will interest many to know that Herbert Hoover's name is on the membership list of -the Highland Friends church, placed there a fow days ago at his request, that being the church which he attended during his boyhood lays in Salem- The following is a list of the waraea who form the various sewing clubs here Mrs. Elliott, Mrs. B.

Besides the form of this disease which is connected with the air passages, there is one connected . with disease of the heart, and an other with disease of tho kidneys which Is not Infrequently fatal. It also occurs frequently during the period of pregnancy. There ia a great variety of wheezing sounds In the chest of one who is suffering from an attack of asthma, and If you put your ear to the chejt of euch a person, you could easily Imagine you were listening to the working of an ancient bellows or a dilapidated hand organ, as air and mucus move up and down in the bronchial tunes. And yet the pulse at such a time may be slow, if weak, and the tem perature only a little above, or be low, normal. Asthma is often complicated with tuberculosis, bronchitis, arterio sclerosis, edema of the lungs (that is, effusion of fluid in the lung tis ane with dilatation of the heart); and with other serious diseases. It may come generation after gen eration in a family, and it may be associated with rheumatism, gout and neuralgia. It may be an accompaniment of indigestion, and constipation, and those who are shallow breathers or who lead sedentary, lives may have it It may be due to the pressure of a goitre, to growths in the larynx, or to enlarged glands in the neck. Frequently it is associated with polypi in the nose, and is cared when they are removed. It is often due to reflex action from such skin diseases as hives, eczema, and psoriasis and from dis eases of the eyes, ears, nose, diges tive and genito-urinary organs. Dust in connection with various trades, sand, the pollen of plants, ammonia, sulphur, and phosphorus when inhaled, often cause a parox ysm of sneezing, then a swelling of the mucous membrane and then an attack of asthma. The object of treatment is to re move the cause and prevent other attacks. The first is done by using sub stances which will relax or un fasten the spasm, the second by changing one's residence, especially from a moist to a dry climate, at an elevation of two thousand feet or more where the air Is pure and free from dust and irritating pollen of plants. Asthmatics should lead a simple life, take plenty of exercise, get plenty of sleep, bathe frequently, avoid constipation, avoid alcohol In all forms, also rich soups, coffee and sweets, and eat very little meat. The diet should consist mainly of milk, flan, eggs, fruit and fresh vegetables with a minimum of spices and condiments. Questions and Answers. TF. F. 1. Am greatly troubled with inaomnia.
