One of the most important things in the public mind just now is the so-called "Russian dtuation." Properly speaking there is no such thing. It is so varied, so com plicated, widely separated that it can only be spoken of in the plural. There is one situation at Archangel; an other at Vladivostok; another at Petrograd and still an other at Omsk. In the Caucasus is another, and still an other in Ukraine, while along the Alanchurian border a revolution separate from all the resi. is in progress. The bolsheviki, so-called, government has its seat on board a German warship fat Kronstadt, and throughout Russia and Siberia are still other local governments of more or less authority. It is with this multiplicity of factions that the allies have to deal, and the problem is such that none inow how safely to approach it. The Germans had their chance to retain power in Russia proper at least, but their insufferable arrogance has forever destroyed that chance. No matter how much they may differ among themselves as to what they should do to work out the sal vation of their country, there is but little difference among them in their enmity of the kniser and his minions. .The Russian people enslaved for centuries, ignorant most of them, suddenly given their freedom knew no more what to do with it, or how to govern themselves than did the black slaves freed in the south during the Civil war. They have not yet learned, but amcuig the masses is an earnest desire for liWrty, for the right to live at peace with the world, for the ownership of the land they have so long tilled for others, and an uninterrupted dream of a Kussian nation strong and free, such as they have pictured the United States to be. It is this desire for national unity and strength deeply inrooted in the Russian mind that makes the masses turn hone fully and trustingly us they can, after their abuse by the Germans, toward the Unit ed States. It is for this reason this country more than any other should take the lead in trying to bring order out of the chaos into which the great nation has been plunged. Whatever policy pr policies may m adopted, the United States is making no mistake in relying on kindness and good treatment to weld the Russian people solidly.to them and to the allies. To extend the helping hand, to provide food and assist the wretched peasants in getting once more on their feet is the task at present being under taken. It is a huge undertaking, but it will bring results. We have the problem of a people of nearly two hundred millions, without a government, without leaders, no guides, no lights for their path as they struggle through the difficulties with which they are surrounded. If the masses were educated, they could be dealt with much more easily, but then if they weiv educated they would not have found themselves in this condition. As it is the Russian situations are probably better known to the pre sident than to any other American, ;md he, if anyone, can find the way to solve the intricate problem. lie may make a mistake, for dealing with so many factions it is not pos sible that all will be pleased, but this country can well place iU reliance o tithe good sense and calm judgment of Pre sident Wilson. There are enough evergreen blackberries going to waste west of the Cascade mountain? in this state to sup ply half the United States if they could be gathered, The trouble with this especially good berry is that it wears a coat of bristling spikes that makes the picker feel the need of a coat of mail to tickle it. If Luther Ilurbank con do for the evergreens what he did for the cactus, he "will make the picking of them more of a pleasure and less of a punishment. He will also make available a magnifi cent berry that under its present armament is rattier unapproachable. : For an army that resorted to liquid fire and poison ous gasses, and to bombing hospitals and torpedoing hos pital and relief ships, the horror of Uie Germans at the Americans using the sawed off shotgun as a weajmn seems a trifle far-fetched. Those, congressmen quibbling over the drafting of young men of 18 and 19 are raising an unimportant issue. The department has announced that the younger men would not be used until the other ages had been exhaust ed. As to those of 19 they-will be 20 and subject to draft under the present law by the time they -will be wanted to go to France, if they are so wanted. If they are draft ed they will be drilled and prepared when the call is made, that is alL Apparently the principal object of those op posed to the drafting of the younger men is to cause de lay. That is apparently one thing that many congress men consider an integral portion of every bill passed. However both houses are speeding up in a race to see which can get the bill passed first, and the hurry to do this will perhaps cause the passing of the amendment cutting out the younger men. The majority of congress men realize the necessity of haste, of the sending of an overwhelming army to France so that with the opening of another season the Americans will le able to bear down all opposition simply by the preponderance of numbers. Jt will cost more money than a slowt : plan might perhaps, but the toll of lives will be less, and after all that is the one overshadowing desiredatum. Money does not count with the lives of our boys in the other scale. The weather clerk deserves the thanks of all Oregon- lans for the splendid variety of atmosphere furnished the Old Boys in Blue. They have enjoyed' themselves the more because they were not oppressed with heat, the warmest thing they have run against on their trip being the hospitality of the Portland people who have done themselves proud and the state at large an honor. The balance of us take off our hats to the citizens of the met ropolis for rising to meet the occasion in every possible way. They have made the visit of our guests one they will remember always, and have given the state a warm corner in the heart of every veteran. FBENCH PAY HONOR Continued from page one) Peaches command a high price and yet the markets seem to be abundantly supplied wi them. Anyway just now the display at the stores is such as is seldom seen in Oregon, and never outside of it. California never grew such magnificent specimens as are in the local market now. Besides they can be eaten without overstepping that two pounds a month sugar supply, for they furnish their own sweetness. , ' Ludendorff insists German soldiers 'be careful of their lives. He does not want them killed now, because he may need them for cannon fodder later. He wants them saved for future slaughter in order to keep the mil itarists in power that much the longer. -- " - - ii Rippling Rhymes by Watt Mason 4 GERMAN EFFICIENCY. I hope this country of the free will never know effi ciency, as Germans understand it; for it has made its sponsors' name a thing of hissing and of shame twas surely Jonah planned it. Efficiency that doesn't heed the treaty or the written deed, the solemn pledge and promise, may be a great and useful thing as viewed by oil anoint ed king, but I'm a doubting Thomas. And this efficiency that made of f rightfulness a ghastly trade, and rioted in fury, may be a stately thing and wise as viewed by Kron prinz Friedrich's eyes, but I am from Missouri. Efficien cy that's built on lies that tries to blind a people's eyes with cooked up fact and fable, may suit the bonehead Teuton race, but as for me, you'll have to place the blue prints on the table. Efficiency that boasts of power and falls down at the 'leventh hour in every big endeavor, may please old Hindenburg and those who hypnotize our foolish foes, but it would suit me never. Efficiency that has no soul has put the Prussian in the hole, has made him banned and hated, until; we hear the cry of men.
