HERTLLNG'S PITIFUL PLEA FOR MERCY ' Yesterday Chancellor Hertling of the German em pire made an address to the reichstag in which he ex pressed the desire of the war lords for peacea German peace, however. The Brest-Litovsk treaty with the Rus sian bolsheviki was held up as a sample of the kind of a peace the German rulers desire, but the chancellor with great emotion proceeded to say that the allies would not accept a German-made peace and had determined to defeat them in a test of arms. He considered this an outrageous .decision which could only have the effect of prolonging the war with its slaughter and suffering. The chancellor's speech was a mournful wail the wail of a whipped and trembling criminal facing certain doom. The nower of the Central empires is failing and the lead ers of the military clique realize this fact more certainly than anybody else. Hindenburg made his supreme ef fort, with all the reserves at his command, to break the allied front and won some ground on account of the in competency of the British military command and its imDreDaredness for a blow long expected. That damage has been repaired and now Hindenburg delays a further move while the kaiser's diplomats make frantic efforts to secure a hearing from the allies to discuss a conclusion of peace which will allow the junkers to escape a thoroughly deserved whipping. While Hertling whines and pleads for mercy, Austria, Bulgaria and Turkey are crumbling away before the assaults of the allied armies' and Ger many, the instigator of their ruin, is powerless to go to their assistance. A story came out recently by way of the Danish frontier to the effect that the real war leader in Germany, Ludenorff, has stated the war will probably end with the end of the year. He admits Germany's defeat while con centrating his efforts toward continuing the war. With the usual German misconception of things he gives the allies credit for some things which more properly belong to Germany, but which the German trait of seeing but one side of a question fails to recognize. Speaking to a Ger man diplomatic leader, Ludendorff is credited with say ing: "Despite the fact that your excellency belongs to a guild, I must say that in diplomacy and in politics the coalition has beaten us. They put the world in arms tgainst us with a skill we neither understood nor know i i i -n i t v:u: 4. nr .i. i.Unn now to lmiiaie. it lias ueeii uinuaiiu we muoi. tunc fore speak in the only way they left usby object les fions." Concluding his statement he said: "Chimneys may continue to smoke indefinitely, but war in a general way will end with the end of this year.". It was a remarkable interview and coming from the leading German militarist is that much the more so. At the same time the failure of the German mind to visualize a situation is exemplified by it. Ludendorff is apparently oblivious of the fact that it was not allied diplomacy, not superior political wisdom, not the "making of language do all it can do," that arraved the world against Germany. That was done by the German's themselves, by their arrogance, their ruthlessness, their violation of all the rules of civilized warfare, the sinking of ships belonging to neutral nations, the torpedoing of hospital ships, and the horrors perpetrated in Belgium and Serbia. These were the things that arrayed the world against Germany and her system. These things have been given publicity by the allies, that is all, and to this extent they have "made language do all it can." As to his statements that the end of the war will perhaps come with the end of the year, this indicates that whenever the allied armies are in shape to invade Germany, that the kaiser will lose his bold front and sue for peace. Hertling was pleading for it in his speech. Germany will never stand for a moment the treatment she lias inflicted on others, and when the danger of having to do this becomes imminent, she begs for mercy. The German soldier is trained for victory only, and with defeat his portion he will prove a sorry loser. It is hoped General Ludendorff's ideas may be materialized and that the war will end as he suggeses, but this may well be doubted, for the reason the German militarists still have an idea that any real offer of peace WHY NOT EXPECT HARMONY LADD & BUSH, Bankers ALL THE THIRD LIBERTY BONDS ARE NOW HERE. THOSE INTERESTED TLEASE CALL AT THE BANK What did Governor Withycombe and Major Deich ex pect would be the reception of the state police in the various communities of Oregon? Did they think that the citizens of this state are so lawless that the regularly elected and appointed peace officers would not be court eous in their dealings with the state police? It would seem that they had some such idea as this as Major Deich has made a report to the governor advising the chief executive that complete harmony exists between the state police and the Portland police department and the federal troops. Is it something unusual that harmony should exist between these bodies of men ? What is there about the state police that caused the governor and Major Deich to fear they would not get along amicably with other peace enforcing agencies in the state? Major Deich s report has aroused our curiosity. Director McAdoo in 'order to lighten the burden on the railroads has placed. tugs and barges on the new Erie canal and will place more there as fast as they are avail able. If this is good policy in the east why is it not eaual- ly good here in the west. We should have more boats on the Columbia and Willamette and we should give them all possible patronage, shipping by them eyery possible bit ot ireighk It would build up another industry, help develop the country and at the same time release many ireignt cars ana much motive power lor other work. The first step toward accomplishing this is the building of docks and improving the cross roads leading from the productive districts to them. There is no reason why the Columbia should not carry practically all the products of the inland empire to Portland and put them in touch with the markets of the world. The northwest wheat which will be sent in the newly built ships by way of the canal should all find its way down the Columbia, and be loaded direct into the holds of the waiting ships.

The sequel should be that this state should have the lowest fire insurance rates of any state in the Union. But has it? That question is of particular interest to every property (Twner. Fire insurance rates in Oregon have been high. In the last year or two slight reductions have been made in some instances, but they are far from being as low as they should be if .Oregon maintains its record for a low fire loss ratio. - Rippling Rhymes by Walt Mason SITLL LIVING If k UP- ,W MAO We've lived to see the greatest scrap that ever jarred the mundane map. Four years ago, in padded ways, we spent our money hunting days. Some prophets stood around and said that balmy peace would soon be dead. They pawed the air, it made them weep that other nations seemed asleep, while at their forges busy Huns were mak ing swords and bombs and suns. "Go to. false prophets!" We exclaimed; "you real ly ought to be ashamed to rend your beards and say that peace, the precious boon, will ever cease. We're civilized, we have ad- vanced; the world is now so circumstanced that every nation only asks a chance to do its useful tasks, to bale its hay and put up ice, and see it always has the price. No government is so insane that it has ponmiest nn the brain, so chase yourselves, on dippy seers, and let us yoke our brindled steers." Four years ago we talked like this! Who said that ignorance is bliss? Our ignorance nas cost a lot since we were handing out such rot. We've lived to see the planet torn, we've lived to see the nation mourn. And we shall live to see the Hun. who wished a i . ji . i . . . - ge-piace in jne sun, into tne outer groping in a horror vast CHAPTER CXXIX. When I told Mrs. Collins that George knew I had seen the supper party, she sneeringly returned: "Xou are very clever." I made no reply simply nodded and left the table. But up in my room. I walked the floor wringing my Jiands and excitedly talking loudly to myself. I knew I had worsted herthat I had had the best of the conversation from every point; but instead of being .elated, I was horribly depressed. Must 1 always be subjected to such things? Should I always have to be fighting to prove my right to my husband's love I It wasn't a pleasant thought, nor one I could think of with equanimity. "1 guess I gavo lw?r something to think of, the cat!" I said to myself, thinking of the first time I had heard her called "cat" anu that It was Mer- ton Gray who had applied the name to her. "IH show her she can't get the best of me, even if I have to lie." but as I recalled my untruth, I flushed. I never had known Georgo to tell even the tiniest white He. Ho would be dis gusted, wh.?n he knew (as ho would have tot that I had stooped to tell an untruth. "Mrs. Collins took your place when you loft me, this noon," I told George when he came in early, as he said he would. "She saw me luat night, as your party in the grill broke up." uoorge Is Amazed at Helen's Confession ' ' She saw you when! ' ' ' ' When your party, of which she was one, started to leave the grill." "But where wens you" "I was in the corridor. I couldn't sloop and had gone down to get a book" "Why didn't you speak to me, if you were there when we came outt Wore you spying on nief " "I was setting a book," I pairied. Then I told him: "Mrs. Collins was very insulting. She said I owed her 8 vote of thanks because she had not told you. l said that I had told you. myself so I owed her nothing." "You" ' ' I told a lio, Gcorgo, and I shall tell as many more as are necessary to let people know I am not the abused, ue- gleatod wife they think I am and that at tune I anu"' What else did you say to her?" I can't recall all that passed, but 1 remembor alw said you told het you had not invited me to join, the party. Of course that gave her all the liberty she needed." "Yes, I said I would not disturb you, as you had not been well." "Biw also asked me why I was not jealous, implying of course that I had reason to be?" ' ' What reply did you make to that ? This is most interesting." The Bneer on my husband's lips mado me feel like crying, but I stubbornly resisted. I had started, at last, to show my independ ence I would not weaken. ' ' Why, when sho said I was very sure of you, calling you 'Ueorgo' as usual, although I never speak of you to her save as 'Mr. Howard', I said: I was sure of you that, had you cared for any of the Moivland women or girls, you would have ashed them to marry you instead of mo, as you had known thorn all for years before you met me." "Was that. quite all you saidf" "No, when she sneered at me, I told h:r that you were, most likely, th same as other men in your taste for a wife younger than yourself. That is all, I think. But I wanted you to know ex actly what was said, as I feel sitro she will tell you her version of the con versation. She was v.eiy angry, although she tried to hide it." An Unexpected Re joiner. J turned quietly away and commenced to lav out my clothes for dinner. After my excitement had abated, I had spent the afternoon trying o plnn my future conduct toward George, and towards the world. I would be dignified and culm; I would not be sat upon; and I would, in all things, try to become a woman of poise and character a woman of the world. "By Jove! that must have taken Ju lia's breath away." I could scarcely believe my ears. I had expected fault-f inding perhaps un pleasantness to result from my confes sion, particularly as he had received it So sneeringly. And this was his only ooniuLMit! Was there ever so strange a man? "I think it did," I replied, going on with what I was doing. "What queer creatures women are" he soliloquized. Then to me: "I don't see why women cannot oc friends tbe same as mien, but evidently they can not." I made no reply, and the matter was not referred to again by cither of us, although- I could not put it from my mind for days.

' Many letters have been written to me on this subject, and It is one which is very annoying, particular ly to women and young girls, if the hair Is on the upper lip, cheeks and chin. I shall not discuss the freakish growth which sometimes covers the .entire body and gives the face an. especially unpleasant appearance. This may be considered a disease lncnrable by any safe measures. I um referring, now, only to tha minor disfigurements which are often entirely curable. Tin hairs may be scattered over the entire face, or may form a con spicuous moustache, or be connect ed with moles or birth-marks. No woman, young or old, whom J. have ever seen, enjoys this adorn ment. It may be a family peculiarity, the father or mother having had It and children Inheriting It, or it may follow sickness, child-birth, worry or strain. Insane women often have It, and It may follow stimulation ot the skin by blisters or liniments, or It may follow an attack of neuralgia. Patent cosmetics and face appli cation containing animal or vege table fata, often advertise that they do not stimulate the growth of hair. Whether this Is so or not, tha friction of rubbing them into the skin sometimes encourages the very thing they were advertised to dis coarage. Frequently,, it is not possible to explain tho growth; all we know Is that the hairjia there. 13 the vic tim Is informed whenever she uses her mirror. The worst ot it is, the older one grows, the more conspicuous this blemish becomes; it ia an unending source of trouble to a woman who is particular about her facial ap pearance (as all women should be), and she is often willing to devote time, thought and money, if she has it, in trying to rid herself of th blemish.
