TURKEY, BULGARIA AND GERMANY.
Turkey and Bulgaria are quarrelling over spoils
neither of them will ever get Reports of Turkey having
broken with Germany over this are probably exaggerat
ed, but that there is foundation for the rumor is evident.
Turkey would hardly make an open break with the kaiser 1 man ie Kaiser s men nave t
without fMlinff out the allies and serine what terms shelatnd Ae Aas . enou$
could hope for from them, should she make a separate
peace. At the same time it is known the present sultan
is much more friendly to the allies than the late Mehmid
V., and that he might consider cutting loose from the
kaiser if the opportunity offered. This, just now does
not seem to be offered him. He is so under the German
militarists rule that an attempt to break away from Ger
many might cost him his throne. The Turkish army has
been fighting with the Central Powers so long that natur
ally their sympathies are all pro-German, and as all the
Turkish armies are officered bv Germans, the sultan
would most likely find the army against him should he
undertake to draw out ot the war. - At tne same ume me
sultan and no doubt the leading Turks realize that in as
sisting the kaiser they are simply forging chains for their
country should the kaiser win. The only hope Turkey
has of maintaining her independence is in the defeat of
Germany. On the other nana tney realize mat sentiment
among the allies is such that their presence in Europe is
not desired, and that when the kaiser is defeated, it may
mean their expulsion from north of the Bosphorus. It
is not likely any peace will be made that leaves the Turk
in control of the waterway between the Black sea and
the Mediterranean, and enables them to interfere with
the commerce of the world, and to keep Russia bottled
up. The quarrel would be disconcerting to any country
except Germany, but her leaders will make any promises
to either side, intending to keep none, but only to tide
over the trouble, and act as her own interests demanded
afterward. Bulgaria is in the same condition as Turkey,
and would no doubt make an effort to break away, if any
terms could be offered her by allies that would make cer
tain even the possession of her territory as bounded at
the outbreak of the war. As neither Bulgaria nor Turkey
will be given anything in the way of territory by the al
lies, they will from the force of circumstances most likely
play the game out with the hands they now hold. I

inis must be a difficult acknowledgement to make after,
telling them that the United States could not equip, trans-i

least consideration, furthermore, he told them that it
would be impossible for any nation to train an army in
less than from three to five years.
How it must have opened the eyes of the head of
German efficiency and kultur to find that the United
States could in a short time raise an army of 3,000,000,
starting from nothing, train, arm and equip them, trans
port 1,300,000 across the ocean and a large per cent of
these up to the actual fighting line-all in fifteen months.
German efficiency would probably still have been plan

Sir Richard Geddes, first lord of the British Admiral
v flflva thf net Fain in allied shipping: is now more than
100.000 tons a month. As the American shipyards hit
their stride, the gain will soon be 500,000 tons a month,
And this will improve the situation. Of course the in-
rrpnsincr nf thft American armies in France will Call stead
ily for more and still more ships, but even with this the
shortage will steadily decrease, and before long there
will be ships available to begin bringing the food products
of Australia and South America to the points where they
are most needed. An abundance of ships would put an end
to the sugar shortage, or at least greatly relieve it. Just
at present this seems to be the most drastic shortage of
. iinv. Litest advices from Cuba are to the effect that
sugar will be advanced half a cen'f a pound, which means
a cent in this country.
The discovery of thirty or more skeletons in a cave
in Arizona brings to light a baffling mystery. Apparently
the skeletons have been in the cave for ten years or more,
but the Indians know nothing of them. It is barely pos
sible that the persons to whom the skeletons belonged
sought shelter in the cave much longer ago than is intim
ated. It may have been a party of Mexicans corraled by
old Geronimo, or Cochise forty or fifty years ago, or an
American party. But if this was the case, some of the
Indians should still remember it.
Holland has forbidden the shipment of cocoa from
the Dutch East Indies to the United States. t No reason
is known for the order, but in the way of reciprocity the
shipment of wheat to Holland might sort of balance things
up.

The supreme court of California has declared uncon
stitutional what is known as the "anti-tipping" law.
Under its provisions an employer could demand from his
employe who had received a tip, that the money be turn
ed over to him. No wonder the court declared the law
unconstitutional. It was cold-blooded discrimination, in
which labor was discriminated against m favor of capital.
Just imagine a passenger on the cars tipping a colored
porter and having the president of the road take the
money away from him. It was depriving the passenger,
the American citizen, of his right to give his money to
whom he pleased, and diverting his gift to someone he
did not want to have the money, and who did not need it.
The tipping habit is silly, but the law more so.
. The anti-tobacco campaign will get a slight . boost
from congress if, as it is apparently intended the smokers
and chewers will be called on to pay an additional tax
that will increase the government revenues on that pro
duct from $170,000,000 as at present to half a billion. At
tne same time it will not reduce the use of tobacco to any
great extent. A man wedded to his nine or a ciear will
find means of gratifying his appetite, even though he
might find trouble in saving money enough to buy a war
stamp occasionally. As a bit of advance news the govern
ment says there are 220,000,000 pounds more of the weed
on hand than there was a year ago.
The Germans are putting up a harder fight as thev
approach the mouth of the pocket, and apparently have
concluded to make a stand and fight it out. At the same
time the allies hold all ground gained and continue to
advance slowly. It is possible the recent determined
stand of the Germans is for effect at home, where some
encouragement seems to be much needed.
Governor Withycombe has been invited to speak at
a banquet to be given in San Francisco August 10, at which
Governor Hunt of Arizona is also to speak. The banquet
is to be given to former Oregonians and Arizonans. It is
safe to say that if the governor accepts the invitation the
guests will be reminded that "we are in the midst of a
vast war."

"I am, mother. At least I am now."
"We all must learn, dear. Exper
ience is the only teacher by whose
lessons we profit- Someway, we all
must know things for ourselves. There
is always something in the experience
of others that doesn't just fit."
AN UNCOMFORTABLE NIGHT.
We had talked late, mother and I.
George wa out, end would not come
in until after midnight so he had
said. Butt it was nearly twelve when
we wont to bed and he was still out.
I dropped off to sleep almost imme
diately. I partly wakened and
though I must hare the nightmare.
I had been dreaming that I heard
voices, shouting. I lay straggling to
waken myself mere thoroughly, then,
suddenly realized that I had not been
dreaming at all. That I really HAD
heard voices that people were out
side, calling and yes, they were
screaming!
I sprang to tho window. It was
bright moonlight. I could see the
street, and just then tho clanging of
the fire wagons brought a sudden re
alization of what it all meant- The
houso must be afirel
I dashed on my clothes, and felt
along the hall to mother's room, she
was already awake.
"Hurry!" I gasped, then ran tip
another flight to the servant's quar
ter I rapped on each door, calling
loudly all tho time. I had deard
mother calling to me to como back, that
she would waken them, but I paid no
heed.
When I ran back down the stairs,
mother was waiting, and the firemen
were already in tho house. There had
been scarcely any disorder; the firo
was quickly under control. James had
rushed downstairs and was watching
that no one got in to steal, acting
under tho direction of the chief.
"You can go back to bed," tho chief
had just said, when the door flew
open and in rushed George.
"Helen, are you safef Thlank
God!" as he saw me. "How did it
happen!"
"Grossed wires I guess," the chaif
answered. "Here in the floor- Didn't
get above this one floor. Lucky that
it didn't."
Yes, here!" and George passed a
yellow-backed bill to the Chief. "Get
the boys some cigars' then, "Come,
Helen, the chief says tho fire is out,"
and. without waiting, he gathered me
m his arms and carried mo upstairs.

"Of course, it would happea when
I was out," he grumbled to mother.

in bed. None of us felt w could

"Your being here couldn't have pos

him.

tale that doos not reflect with much

according to his narrative, he was pick

phone tho local exemption board here,
and it was not until ho had been in

a letter written him by the Salem

but the officer would not do so until
he was given fa for his trouble. After
the letter was found, the plain clothes
man thought it was no good, but tho
higher polico officials recognized it as
coining from an exomption board and
permitted the Salem registrant to go.
It was Sunday afternoon before ho was
released, according to the information
he gave the Salem board.
