However, the cream has been skim med from the pan, and if the full amount is to be raised it will rquire not only still harder work on the part of the workers, but a digging still deeper by those who have al ready responded. It must not be overlooked that the sending of an army large enough to overwhelm the enemy is a necessity if we are to conserve the lives of our boys already on the front. Undoubtedly they could in time beat the hordes of the kaiser without the vast extra army, but it would be at the expense of hundreds of thousands of lives that can be saved by sending an army in such numbers that resistance becomes hopeless. This puts the matter up to us: "Which will we save? Our boys our our dollars?" To send an army of four million across the ocean will require a tremendous sum, but that sum must be spent if we are to win the war with the least loss of life possible. , Every dollar subscribed helps to save the lives of our boys, and with this as the alternative who is there that is going to. stop putting up short of the last dollar J he or she can dig? Solem has responded splendidly but it must do still better if it is to have the proud distinction of having done its full share toward helping win the war and conserving the lives of American boys.. GERMANY AND AUSTRIA ONLY. Whether the drives in Macedonia and Palestine were due to the strategy of General Foch or not they were both made at the right time and have accomplished a good pur pose. For some time both Bulgaria and Turkey have been negligible quantities so far as any aid they could send Germany and Austria is concerned, but they were a threat and'a menace that could not be overlooked. With the Bulgarian army routed and in a panicy retreat for fifty miles the Bulgarian press suddenly making a unani mous demand for peace. The reason is plain, and that is they now see that they must stand alone and can expect no help from either of the big powers with which they are associated. With the allies driving their army back in hopeless retreat they can foresee what the end is to be, es pecially after being told by Germany that she could not lielp them, and suggesting that th; Turks send them a few divisions instead. With the Turkish armies oractic ally annihilated in Palestine and unable to help themselves the outlook for aid from that nation is far from encour aging to the Bulgarian leaders. Besides there is i quar rel on between the two countries which is almost an open rupture. Germany while proposing peace without annex ations or indemnities, of, her own motion annexed a part of Rumania's territory, the Dobrudja, to Bulgaria. Tur key -at once demanded that a section of her territory given to Bulgaria after the Balkan war be returned to her as an offset to the gift made Bulgaria. This Bulgaria would not stand for, hence the present coolness between these hired assistants of the central powers. However the smashing of the armies of both by the allies leaves them in such shape they cannot even attack each other, let alone help their employers. While both will have to be watched, their power is broken and the fight is now one between the allies on the one side and Germany and Austria-Hungary on the other. The Russian situation is now the only thing the allies have to consider outside of the two leading central powers, and Russia is in such shape that while the allies can expect little help from that source other than such as Siberia may give, Germany can expect but little from her either. The reign of terror manipulat ed by the Lenine-Trotsky regime will get Germany no where, for while it inspires terror it: also awakens resist ance, that bodes no good for those who are now terroriz ing the larger cities of that country. It is a straight fight from this on. ' :: TH E WIFE o By JANE PHELPS AND THEIR WIVES WORK. The most amusing thing at the fair is the poultry show. Not that it is a joke by any means, for it is an ex hibit of which any state might well feel proud, but the amusing part is the swelled up arrogance of the roosters shown along with the working members of the harems, the liens. The latter are demure and quiet attending strict ly to business, taking their food and sipping the water from the cups, just as though they were at home. On the other hand each and every rooster seems to think he is the cock of the walk, and he advertises this idea on every occasion. To see them throw their heads back and give their clarion calls, it is plain they would convey the idea that they were responsible for the country's egg output, instead of being just the ornamental heads of the famil ies. When they crow it is entirely camouflage, but when the biddies get off the nest and advertise the fact briefly with a song of their own, it can be depended on that there are substantial results. The slackers are all males. ' Washington's enrollment for the selective draft was ?1 per cent greater than the estimates. Oregon for once takes second place, but then the winner used to be part of Oregon and lias not entirely forgotten the Oregon methods. ' The 57th annual state fair opened its gates yesterday on what gives promise of being one of the most success ful meetings. Ihe race program is good, some fine animals being entered for them, and the stock exhibit was never excelled in the history of the event. The iudging is well j.under way and the parade will be well worth going far to see. Ihe pavilion exhibits are of the very best and the horticultural department a bower cf beauty that justly attracts crowds and pleases as well as attracts. Wednes is Salem day and of course will be the big day of the fair unless the Portland day, Thursday, outclasses it. As the Elks also have that day as at least partly their own, Salem will have to get a move on if it carries away the honors for attendance this year. The Elks have a way of doing things that sets the pace so fast that competition is left helpless. That this will be the case this year is assured since that is the habit of the big antlered herd. 1 The governor evidently believes Joe Keller is a pret ty good man. Perhaps he is, but since he makes the pa role scandal at the prison an issue between himself and Warden Murphy, and as the latter is generally looked upon as being a square man, it behooves -the governor to see that an investigation that investigates is made. If it demonstrates that Keller is-as good man as the governor thinks he is, it will be to the governor's credit for having stood by him. However, to back Keller he has to turn against Murphy, his appointee, for both cannot be right, In view of the fact that the governor is wrong whenever he has half a chance at .being so, the outlook for War den Murphy in case of an investigation: is far from gloomy. According to the recent strategy developed by Foch the next drive should be in Italy and against the Austrians. If so successful a smash can be made as that in Bulgaria, or that annihilating drive in Turkey, it will be Germany alone that will have to stand the brunt of the war from now on. Portland is not satisfied with the showing being made in the Liberty loan. The statement Saturday was to the effect that with GO per cent of the territory canvased but about six millions had been pledged while the quota is around nineteen millions.

This is an unanswer able argument in favor of training every boy in the use f a gun. LADD & BUSH, Bankers arc receiving subscriptions now for the LIBERTY BONDS I & 4th Since our dads died at Valley Forge, before they'd be submittin' to that old bonehead German George who then was ruling Britain, a sort of coldness has obtained be tween two mighty nations; our bonds of friendship all were strained, though we were blood relations. It took another German king (with soul for war expanding) be tween these mighty realms to bring the perfect under standing. Our banner floats o'er English domes, the com mon foe defying; and over countless Yankee homes the British flag is flying. The soreness that one time we knew the German kultur smothers; our friendship's seal ed with blood, and true, and we are close as brothers. We sing with them, "God save the King," and raise our glad kyoodle; and they will make the rafters ring with good old "Yankee Doodle." Britannia rules the waves, you bet, and o'er that heaving ocean, we stretch our hands, already yet, with brotherly emotion. When Kaiser Bill has quit the fray, brought down by stress of weather, he'll look at Brit and Yank and say, "I brought the two to gether!" And that will be the sourest pill, the sickest dose of bitters, that e'er wrent down old Kaiser Bill or other kingly critters 1 - . CHAFTEB XL. Brian and Mollie danced well togeth er. Euth admitted it when Mrs. Curtis called" it to her attention. She also ad mitted to herself that they were en joying themselves extremely. She tried to be sensiblo and not feel hurt and a trifle jealous. Mollie King ' an old friend of Brian's, and she must not make him feel that she was narrow about such things. But when their laugh frequently hang out, and Brian iusistvd upon their having the second dance, one that, hurt lu,n a i,nr. rticular favorite of Molile's beforP Kuth snew mm, slie couldn't help herself. Kuth danced nno with Rrinn fil, danced well, nnd nsmnlW kv.j ,l with Brian. Bufc he had been so taken up with Mollie that h0 spent tho time relating scmo of her bnuht savinus! which naturally annoyed Euth, in the irame or nana slio was in. It wa9 midniirht when Ruth nrnnnroil they go home. For some time Claude Beekly had again monopolized her. And, among other things, he had told her ui nat a "gay dog" Brian had been before he was married, and how "tho viuag'j" had missed him. "i'ou shoula have takfcn apartments down town, thon you would become ac quainted with his old friends," he told her. Hutu did not tell hira sho had no de sire to know them if they wero like him, yet she wanted to. Instead, sh, men -proposed leaving. Mrs. Curtis accompanied hcran.d Mol lie King to the guest room whilo they donned their wraps. "What a lovely gown, Mrs. Hac kctt," she said, "may 1 ask who is your dressmaker?" "Lorraine made this. In fact she made nearly ell my trosseau. 1 have needed no one since." Kuth rmilil nY,f lutln nn4;.n look on Mrs. Curtis' face when sho men tioned the faiet that "Lorraine" had made her cown. Mnllin Kin im glanced fit her in a peculiar manner. one kb norribiy. expensive, isn t shef" Mrs. Curtis asked. "I have never daretl inquire her prices. 1 know well enough I couldn't afford her, al tho Mr. Curtis is doing remarkably well." "I don't know if she is so expensive Ruth answered. She hail not foiu,! tr, understand that in some w M m (Cur tis was hitting her when she had spok en oi ivir. uurtis as doing "remarkab ly well." I know-very little about Xew York dressmnltera Inn) li,i had Lorraine make her clothes, and af ter i grew up, she made mine. I never knew what thoy cost." "I'll bet that one you have on, eost a lot. It is exquisite-" "Oh. I harmen to know vcliof thio one cost. Aunt had it ont down on approval. Lorraine somcitimcB did that when she got something so thought we would like." "Would vou think mn dreadful if I asked you how much it was? I would like her to make me something .if she isn't too expensive." "Oh, not at all! Aunt paid $200 for this." Ruth heard a little gasp from Mollie, and Mrs. Curtis frankly said: "That's beyond me. jl thought I shouldn't be able to afford her pric- les." Ruth felt horribly embarrassed. She had no idea that Mrs. Curtis and per haps Mollie King thought she was too extravagant wiih Brian's money. They had known him a long time, and were fond of him. They both knew she work ed, was in the shop, but of course they knew sho could not buy herself ex pensive clothes yet. She luusn't let j them be sorry for Brian because of her. "You see, I haven't had a new gown since I have been married," she ex plained rather diffidently, yet with a disarming smile. "Aunt Louisa is very generous and she bought me such an elnborato trosseau that I expect it will last me the rest of my life. Brian Mr. llai kett has no idea yet what it costs to dress a wife. And won't have for some time to come. We to out so little that I was thinking only tonight that my evening dresses would bo out of style Jiefore 1 had had anv wear out of them." Ruth had flushed while making this long explanation. It was so foreign to her, her bringing up, to discuss the cost of her clothes, that she had ram bled on, saying more than was neces sary, Sho realized this and it added to her embarrassment. "You are an interior decorator, are' n'f you?" Mollie broke in t her re lief. How interesting it must be. "Yes, I enjoy it very much." "Isn't it wonderful that Brian, doesn't object?" Mrs. Curtis asked, turning to Mollie. "Quite wonderful," Mollie replied, but a peculiar look had crossed her faco at the question. A look that puz zled Ruth, What could it mean? Had Brian made a confidant of Mollie King when he. dined with her? It didn't seem ijwssible and yet. On the way home Ruth said to Bri an: "Did you say anything to Mies King iibout my being in the shop that you objected to it," 'Terhaps you don't suppose I want them to think I can't support yon, do youf" Tomorrow Mr. Mandel sees the new apartmjnt before Brian.)
