THE DAILY CAPITAL JOUUNAL la th only newspaper In Salem whose circulation la guaranteed by the Audit Burets ol Circulations BAD NEWS FOR GERMANY. Tomorrow more than thirteen Million Americans will register for the draft to fill the armies necessary to put the kaiser out of business. It will be long before the Ger man people learn of this tremendous force gathering against them, but the leaders will know it and they will realize more than ever that America is in . the fight to stay until Prussianism and militarism and their attend ant curse of eternal war are driven from the earth. The registration of thirteen million men will show them the potentialities of the United States are immeasureably greater than they even dreamed of when they issued their defiance, and entered into the ruthless submarine war- fell ' It is a notice to the Prussian military party that they must prepare to meet an army of five million Americans on the western front next year. It is estimated there are now 2,500,000 German soldiers on this front, and it is pretty evident that Germany has no further. resources in man-power on which she can draw. This means that the American army alone on the western front will outnum ber two to one the entire German army. Having no men at home from which she can recruit her armies there is but one source left from which she can draw any strength and that is from her armies on other fronts. She will have to bring her soldiers from Russia and Rumania, and to do this she must sacrifice alt she has gained there and see Russia again free from her armies and her influence. This move would likely cause the reorganization oj kus sia and her atrain sending her armies to assist the allies, eo Germany would gain nothing by the withdrawal of her troops from those countries, but instead would stand to lose a ereat deal. America s worK tomorrow win oe sad news indeed for the Prussian war-lords. Evidently there is no limit to the demands the work ers in the shipyards may make. Now with the country pleading for every bit of work there is in a man in order to speed up just such work as ship building, some six thousand boiler makers in Portland having been given a 44 hour week during the summer months under agreement which concession was to be in f.orce until September first i,fter which the 48 hour week was to be worked again, walked out Saturday afternoon. They resumed work Monday "morning, but they used up 24,000 working hours for the people, and hours they were paid for working, and which they had agreed to work. The other workmen stuck to their jobs and their agreements, and it remains to be seen whether the boiler makers will think better of it and .stand by their agreement. Saturday afternoon next will demonstrate this. :: THE WIFE By JANE PHELPS RUTH SEE3 NEWPORT'S FAMOUS da OCEAN DRIVE FOB THE FIRST TIME. CHAPTER XXIX. Tho next morning Ruth and Mr. Mandel started out immediately after breakfast to inspect the "Cary house" which was situated some distance a way on tho ocean drive. Ruth thought she had never seen anything so beautiful as the drive was, that morning, lhc early sunshine fall And so she told Mr. Mandel, when he told her to get ready for luncheon. They would return to the hotel, freshen up a bit, then lunch at the Casino. Delighted at the treat in store for IF WOHENONLY KNEW What A Heap Of Happiness It Would Bring To Salem Homes.

' Apparently the Germans have concluded to make a stand along the old liindenburg line or as near it as al lied occupation of the same will permit. That this will cause a slowing up of the allied advance is certain, but the question is whether it is to be ci.ly a temporary slow ing up or a permanent check. The lr-ovements of the next week should settle this point. Time was when the Ger mans as well as the allies had the notion this line was im pregnable, but when General Byng attacked it last year and unexpectedly to both himself and the enemy, broke through and swept over twelve miles of territory beyond it, this myth was disposed of. True, owing to the lack of unity of action among the allies, Byng's advance wag not backed up, and his forces were . gain swept back, but he smashed the line just the same. It is claimed by mili tary men that the Germans were beaten at that time had this drive been properly followed up, and it is even assert ed some of the German leaders admit this. Anyway Byng demonstrated the line was breakable, for he broke it. It is possible that this task will fall tc the lot of the Ameri cans if Foch continues his attacking policy, and that it is lor this the American forces have been gathered under Pershing and held back, more or legs, during the recent fighting. One thing is sure and that is if the Americans ever break through the line as Byng did, they will stay through. They will remain "put." The order of the food administration stopping the manufacture of beer on December 1, was manifestly un fair. It will result in the financial wrecking of many hopgrowers who might have pulled through if let alone this year, or given proper advance notice of the food ad ministration's intention to prohibit brewing. They were aware of the decision of congress to make the country bone dry by July 1919, but had no warning of any immed iate arbitrary order to that effect. Many hop yards in he Salem district were accordingly cultivated and train ed and picking was well under way when the order to close the breweries was promulgated. It will be a hard blow to some growers in this district and it seems an unjust thing to do when it might have been handled dif- The farm tractor comes to the front just when most needed. It will enable the farmers to handle their work with less help and so fill a pressing want. Besides this they will prove a great saving in farm products for they will do away with a number of horses now used in farm work, and permit the farmer to grow crops for sale that now must be devoted to growing feed for his horses. The saving in this line alone, once the tractors come into gen eral use as they will, will be of enormous proportions. Gasoline is cheaper than corn as a motive power and the tractor is not eating its head off while necessarily idle. Germany and "Russia" have signed another treaty under which the bolsheviki government with which Ger many treats is obliged to fight the allies. It shows the workings of the German mind when that country will make a solemn treaty with a fake government she has herself set up in business and which she arbitrarily as sumes is representing the Russian people, and at the same time strenuously object to the United States recognizing the Czecho-Slovaks as a belligerent, nation. Sauce for the American goose somehow does not seem palatable when served for the German gander, " The sheer nonsense of having an army of state guards on big pay is shown in the fact that a lot of them are to be detailed for duty at the .state fair., The idea of their having anything to do at the fair is of course ab surd but they are to be sent up in oider to make a show of keeping them busy. We understand these hand-picked state guards get $90 a month and their clothes, board and lodging. Their officers probably get more. California importing drinking water) from Oregon makes a stand off with Oregon's patronage of Hornbrook, the taste of Bull Run water carried to Oakland in an oil tanker would not be highly pleasing and in fact would not be much improvement on the bootleg variety of drink sent from California. The hop business has apparently received its death .low. It was expected and many of the hopgrowers got Lfrom under in time, although thero will be some heavy losers. The daily advance of the allies on the western front seems to have become a habit. It is one that will be gen erally approved, and no one will ask that it be given up. Lenine is again reported dead. He is making a good record in the way of deaths but is still far from Villa's class.

Rippling Rhymes by Walt Mason j - . GOODBYE SUMMER. Oh, summertime, farewell ; It's time to toll your knell, and no one sheds a sigh; you've been on deck so long, you've spread it on so strong! Oh, summertime, in books, you, with your babbling brooks, have had a lot of praise; but people now on earth have had their money's worth of fizzling, scorching days. The poets, lyres in arm, have often sung your charm, their melody enchants; but no one sees them rise to sing about your flies, your chiggers and your ants. They sing of bosky dells and zephyrs wearing bells 'and sunsets rich and red; they have no lan- I guage sweet concerning prickly heat, and sleepless nights m bed. Uh, summer lade and ilee ! i our name is Twenty three, your motto is "Avaunt!" You've put us all in bad, and all of us have had a lot more than we want. Oh, sum mertime, so long! You live in tale and song as something grand and fine; with me you make no hit; I'm willing to admit I've had enough in mine. rainbow. The beautiful homes, so well kept, tho shrubbery and the flow ers, all caused exclamations of delight to fall from her lips constantly Mr. Mandel told her the names of all the owners of the drive property, addinsr little bils of personal history j two more that he thought might interest her. "Won't Alreadv the beach was filled with a ! herself as crowd of early morning bathers, add ing color to the scene. "I should love to spend a summer here!" Ruth exclaimed. "It is a charming place if you are in the swim," Mr. Mandel told . her with a smile, "But rather stupid, 1 am told, for those who are not." "That would be so, naturally," Ruth miisdd, thinking lf the caste laws so strictly observed in the little southern town in which her aunt lived. The Cary house was a large place, beautifully situated. They had tho kevs, and as Mr. Mandel opened the door and Ruth passed in, something very like a groan broke from her. "Awful, isn't it?" he asked with a smile. "Awful doesn't express it! it is wicked" "You see," he explained, "the orig inal owner of the house was 0110 of our nouveau riehc. One of those to whom price, the cost in dollars, rep resented value- The furnishings and decorations of the house show how false that idea is. The house itself is not so bad. It was built by a good architect who threatened to leave his job half finished if not allowed to go ahead with the approved plans with out change-" "I should think he would havo threatened something if tho house would have been anything like this," she motioned with a sweep of her arm. "Why, it's a crime to spend money for such stuff,", a hideous red plush davenport was the particular ob ject of her scorn. "Well, you havo almost carto blanche to do what you pleaso with the inter ior. There comes the landscape gar dener whom I was to meet. I'll leave vn'u alono and attend to him. Here are tho pUins of the rooms and halls. . ..l -.1 Wo Mark tnein up as you v have another set at the office." "Thank lyou " then, hesitatngly, "Shall wo get back tonight?" "Why no! that is impossible. Jt we get through we will take tho sleep er and get home. in the morning. If not, wo will go tomorrow night. Don't hurry through the work; take all the time you need," he said, totally mis understanding Ruth's question- He thought sho feared she wasn't to be allowed time enough. "I'll wait until this afternoon, then telegraph Brian. I'll know by that time if I can get thru today," she said aloud to herself as Shu started to make an inspection of the house, be fore settling down to the planning. Thoughts of Brian intruded until she resolutely forced them from her mind. "You go back where you belong, Brian llackett, and stop bothering me!" she said, laughing aloud at her own nonsense. ".I'll havo trouble e nough with you when I get back home." Thereafter she allowed no straying thoughts to impede her work- But long before the noon hour, she saw it would be .an utter impossibility to do her work, and do it well, . in one selt for a moment, Ruth seut her wire to Brian before the returned to the ocean drive manion.

Judge Uiistav Anderson of the circuit court for Baker county has given a decision that the -j per cent increase in freight rates granted the railroads by the government railroad administra tion does not apply now to the short line and branch roads in this state which have been released from govern men control. A copy of the decision has been re ceived by the public service commis sion and it upholds entirely, Chair man Miller points out, the position taken by the commission. On all roads which have been re leaned from government control the freight rates must automatically return to what they were before tho govern ment took over any of the roads, points out Chaiman Miller. In the suit in Baker county Judge Anderson did not grant the injunction prayed for as lie held that the lumber company had a remedy through tho public service commission. The com mission has referred he matter to the attorney general for advice as to what action it should take to see that the Sumpter Valley railm.l company does not charge the 25 per cent increase in rates. The roads in this state under govern ment control, and to which the 5 per cent increase does apply, are the South ern Pacific, Oregon Electric. O. W. K X., S.
