Now that there is a general belief that Germany may accept our proposition and lay down her arms, it must be confsesed that there is a feeling of disappointment. This country did notant to go to war, but the preserva tion of national honor and the call of civilization men aced, compelled the nation to act. Our people went into . the conflict in dead' earnest, Just as Americans always do when they tackle a hard job, and now they want to finish it right before they quit. As one of our exchanges remarks, the Americans and their allies have been hoping for a triumphant victory and lasting peace, but they wanted that victory and that peace to come only after allied armies had invaded Ger many's borders. They wanted the war carried home to German soil. There is an almost universal feeling that justice will not have been done, no matter how stern the peace terms may be, if Germany has not been invaded and made to experience some of the horrors of war at home; feel to some extent at least the terrors that have tried the souls of the Frenphmen and the Belgians, trampled un der the heel of ruthless military invasion. All signs, however, point to the fact that Germany is going to stop fighting, no matter what the peace terms may be. In fact several German generals and diplomats have already publicly declared that Germany will "throw up her hands" rather than risk a military invasion.' If Germany stops fighting the allies, too, will have to scop, ' and impose such terms as they see fit. War can not be carried on by civilized nations against another nation or group of nations which has ceased all resistance, i But if Germany wants peace at any price one of the terms upon which the United States and the allies should insist should be a military occupation of German and Aus trian forts and cities, and allied control of the railroads of the central powers until such time as the Teutonic ar mies have beeii entirely disbanded, and every term of the peace treaty carried out in full, o And even at that the allied peoples will feel that Ger many is "getting off too easy," There seems to be a very common wish that the Germans would stand by their guns and fight to a finish. Governor Withycombe will not .actively campaign for re-election. He will leave that to his hand-picked state military police, special agents and official appoint ees. They are paid by the state and can put in full time campaigning for their chief without neglecting any pub lic duties, since the hardest work any of them has to do is to sign the payroll monthly, j . "ijilL'J1 HI 3J -1 : ; There is a revolt in Constantinople against the Young Turks, who are said to be worse even than the old Turks. We had naturally supposed that the Young Turks were prferable to the old guys, because they had not lived so long and thus lacked the opportunity to acquire as much general cussedness as the old stock. Possibly, however, ' J'be deduction was wrong. , , v Many young American soldiers have already been cited for bravery and given decorations. This is as it should be, and while the great majority, have not been so honored, it is because their opportunity to show the stuff they are made of has not yet come to them. They will make good whenever and wherever called upon. .... - ... The "prominent" educators of the state are all out in favor of the measure establishing more normal schools in the state. The taxpayers might swat the school ring and save money for themselves by again defeating these perennial demands for more state schools. National defense league officials, in, California are being prosecuted for misuse' of funds. . Why is Oregon being overlooked in this respect? - The strategic retreat of the Germans still continues all along the line, 4 . t ... ; . r : " THEIR EYES BEING OPENED. The change of sentiment in Germany is shown by the following comment by the Frankfurter Zeitung only a few days ago J . - v . "Evidently if the negotiations cannot be carried out, we shall - turn back to arms and in desperate combats defend the German territory, but we must have no illusions in this respect At the most important time of her history Germany feels the lack of that very energetic military help which, according to ancient beliefs, stands for right. However, terrible thia disillusion may be for the German people, brought up amoug military dis play, humanity will benefit by it if President Wilson is able to establish a real and true justice." - Here we have an admission of the principal charge made against Germany by the allies: that it is a military autocracy seeking to stamp out popular and representa tive government throughout the world. And we have a prominent newspaper of the empire stating that the peo ple have been taught that military power stands for right, and in its disillusionment wonders, after all, if the principles for which President Wilson stands are not right.' . There are many indications, so well-informed persons say, that the bolsheviki are about to grab Germany. At that the country might be better off than under the rule of the kaiser. Everybody seems to approve the way President Wil son answered Germany except Teddy Roosevelt, Senator Chamberlain and the editor of the Corvallis Gazette Times. - Only two days left in which to save Salem's honor! Every resource should be mobilized in the final effort to send our liberty loan quota over the top. Do your full duty as an American citizen! 1 LADD & BUSH, Bankers arc receiving subscriptions now for the LIBERTY BONDS Ripplin g Rhymes by Wall Mason WHERE IS HE? The Germans lose on every front; they make S botch of every stunt, their morale is to pieces shoWwhere is the good old German gott? The term is Kaiser Bill's, not mine; I do not think it good or fine; it is irreverent, pro fane, the output of an addled brain; but if there is a Ger man gott,. who smiled on all the damage wrought, and would the German crimes allow, where is that good old gott right now? Perhaps he's tired of standing back of such a false and cruel pack, of Prussia's stained, dis honored flag, of Wilhelm's loud and endless brag, in which gott takes a second place if HohenzoHern shows his face. The kaiser's hosts are on the run, they're losing all the ground thy won, and "Kamerad" they meekly whine, as they go pelting for the Rhine. How does the pious kaiser feel, as he beholds them drop their steer aha strike the hardest kind of trot? Where is his "good old German gott?" that did the trick; and now that every written sheet brings Wilhelm tiding of defeat, he'll doubtless think that phrase is rot, and charge, up all the blame to gott. Can any nation hope to win that quotes Jehovah with a grin? ". THE WIFE 9 By JANE PHELPS ARTHUR MAKDEL INVESTIGATES BRIAN'S BUSINESS ADDRESS t'lIAi'Tfcl- .'..X. Arthur MaaM had not been obliv ons that, ever since Kuth's return from the wost something hed been wo.-rya-j her.While her work had been woll done every ti.no sha was unoccupied f.ir a moment and he Mul watched her '). al ly he had bon awurc of. wmi inward disturbnnao. "Ue' not happy with him," he jsjiid to himself, ''him" of course mean ing Brian ''Fool, not to know the vaiue of such a woman ' And in conseauoiu'e he had made things as easy ns possible for Ruth. Hor salnry was small to him, when oonsidored a a living for wenina bronftht up as slip had been. Ho had by bits wormed the story-of her whole easy, luxurious life from her; tho life sho' lived at her aunt ' before she met and married Brian Hackott While aha had never given him any idea that Brian could not take decent tare of her, he recalled that as soon as ho had raised her alary she had moved. Mov ed to a better address. That looked as if before they eould afford nothing better than the place they had lived. He had the street and number, lot when he earned must, at the best, be a neg ligible quantity, Hse he would 1 not have taken his bride to such a poor home. Especially a bride-who had been accustoraod to luxurious surroundings Then he smiled grimly aa another thought came to hi mind. "The beggar can't have too much for her, when he takes that girl of his to tho smartest places in New York to dine," he said alond as he walked along. Artnur Handel know his New York. Ho knew what the simplest re past cost in certain places, the very places he had seen Brian, and he also knew a young lawyer could not afford to patronize them unless he had an in dependent income which ho was sure Brian Hackett had not. 'I worder what kind of an office he has. I'll drop in some time when he's out to lunch if 1 can find out what time he goes out,' ' ho said so loudly a womaa turned and, litughingly, said to her companion: ''Did you hear that fine-looking man talking to himself He must be in love." " - - - Arthur Handel heard, and the rest of his walk ho kept his thought to him self. But they were all of Ruth, and of Brian's, inability to give her what he, Arthur Handel, thought she should have, . The next morning he deftly brought ltuth eame to them, she had given it aa her homo address, So one day he. walked past. His- fastidious taste was , the conversation arouml to her lunching quite shocked at the locality, curious, jpiaco, then point blank put the quea- he had asked to see au apartment, iie uon had been shown thetme ''formerly oc- jenpied by Mr. Hackett, a young law "Why don't you go down and lunch with your husband, occasionally.

No wonder aho would rather work for me,'' he muttered when ha reached the street. Then straightaway he won dered if h were paying her enough; 1 if she emild gratify her simple, desires with wlfat ho gave hcrT lunch with him. We were talking about it only, the other day," Ruth was pleas ed at her employer's interest. f?o pleas ed she told Brian of the little- episode as soon as he came home that niht. It had not been really only idle eur iosirv that actuated Arthur Mandei, naccomv . ' ' ' mice as mucn fished on when you use a soap that does most of its work while you do something else.

But if , as he suspected, he was scraping along on thin , ice, spending what be earned oh girls in stead bf on his wife, he would raise it immediatcly.' Ruth must not want for anything she needed beeauae she was tiod to a man who did not care for her. He found Brian oat. Asked for his office, and was told he was occupying only desk room in the large office in which he had iuquirod. The office whose number was given in the tele phone book opposite Briah's name. "So he can only afford dsk room. Worse than I thought!'' Mr. Mandel said as he hurried back up town. He had left no name, nor. any message. He had simply said he would call again. He looked at Ruth that afternoon with a different feeling than ho had yet acknowledged to himself, A feeling of pride in her, her bravery in going to work to help out that fellow down there who could only afford desk room in some other inanV office. That was the way he thought of Brian. ''That fellow.''. . f . ... 'She's a game little thing," ho said, admiringly as he watched her, "Too good, by far, for such a fellow.'
