Hasan, (Cnited Press War Expert.) New York, Sept. 2. The designs of the Hohenxollcrn militarists to make uieir nomination or kiissiu tne basis of tiermany future eeoiiomic etpansiou, have been heavily discredited by the attempted assassination .of Iienirie. Kussia has again proven herself un 1erar alterably hostile to all forms of h the kaiser or the Bolsheviki, The ter rorists, who killed the German ambas sador to Russia, aud the German dicta tor iu the Ukraine, have proven by their third victim, that Germany has been unable to take repressive meas ures following the deaths of Ambas sador von Mirbaeh and Field Marshal von Eiehorn. The .helplessness of the llohenzollerns when faced by the Nihilist oranixations is now demon strated. The kaiser cannot carry out his anti-democratic policies in Hussia against his own s.df-coufessed failure to protect his reactionary agents. The .shots fired at lienine will cause echoes of dismay to ring iu Berlin. The Ifohettzollerns not only are helpless t-i safeguard German representatives in KHi, but they cannot rely on the help of Kussian tools for their unholy purposes- The attempt against Leiiine ia due to the fait that through him German influences have tried to make their way into the governing control, of Kiwi sia. The policy of assassination re cently put into operation by the terror ists shows every evidence of being exclusively anti-German in its purposes. German victims have hitherto been the only ones selected, and the terror ists proclaim that they will not tolerate foreign interference with the Moscow and I'kraine governments. The selection of Leuine as the third victim can have no other meaning than to warn all whom it may concern that Hussion leaders who connive at German oppression may be classed with the German autocrats themselves. A few more such lessons as these three and (Jermany must abandon the quest of dictator to Russia, or else embark on a new campaign of repres sion. It is impossible for Von Hill denbiirg to spare the troops necessary There can be no doubts that events are stirring Kussia, destine. I eventually to drive out tne reaitionurv influences of the Huhenxi Hern for a flee, reprr seutative form of deinocriitie govern- I HELD NEAR GRESHAM - LAST HALE OF WEEK Nearly 30 Makes Of Tractors Entered For The Practical Demonstration '.ie of the biggest tjst'ir demon tralioii ever he'd in the Pacific north west will take place this week at Lin- neman Junction, just this side of Gresham, and about II iiiilei from port'an-l.
