M" "M"M- 'if you saw some men nailing your own boy, or broth er, or Father or little girl to the side of a building laugh ing and glorying in the act . . , If you saw the most beautiful structure m this town being torched and burned and a crowd dancing and yell ing and, in drunken orgies, glad they did it- If you knew that in that building, also, were those whom you held dearer and nearer to you than your own life and that there was no escape If you knew that in five minutes a howling mob were Eoing to drag your own wonderful Mother through the streets of this town because she wanted to protect those she loved most , If you knew that all labor and sacrifices and sutier ings and costs of years and, years of the people of . this town were but so much paper to be wiped out in pillage and plunder over night . . . If you knew mat au me oiu men aiiuwvurai this town and countryside were within an hour to be cor ralled, like cattle in a pen, and made to starve and die , If you knew that disease and filth and fire were to be the lot accorded to you and all you love, for all you have " done in this world without one word of protest being al lowed to count ' . , , If you knew that hereafter life was to be looked at as a thing cheaper, and to be scoffed at as less useful than the most useless insect " ,v-VTr-'7j I' 7Zli If you knew that hereafter nothing would be worth while but lust and rapine and murder - . -: Wouldn't you think it at least reasonable if you couldn't give your very life to prevent these things to give or LOAN all the money you had to make such things no longer possible in the world wouldn't you? Well, that is ALL that is being asked of you by your government in this FOURTH LIBERTY LO AN-which is to be the VICTORY loan ! Do you feel like hesitating? GO OVER THE TOP TOMORROW ! ' ' : There are peace rumors in the air but the wise nation will prosecute the war until arms are laid down and the enem has surrendered. A mistake now might not lose the war but it might cost many lives and much treasure. Germany is in the throes of revolution. Her rulers face inevitable defeat and are debating how to make a change in government that will be acceptable to the al lies. They are watching every move America, now the most feared of their foes, is making. A sign of weak nooo nr wv nf rWisinn hprf micht nrolone the war. Bulgaria quitWhy? Because President Wilson held congress back from a declaration of war and the tVi.it. rnnntrv remained in Washington. Every opportunity to see the tremendous scale upon which this country was making war was given him and he was convinced. In turn he .convinced his home government that defeat was certain in the end. That America was invincible. Bulgaria surrendered and opened wide to the allies the back door of Germany. It was the beginning of the end. ' The officials of the nation know the importance of waging war to the limit. They are urging the people not only to subscribe the liberty loan, but to over-subscribe. Send the message to the wavering, tottering autocrats at Berlin, and it will be worth a myriad of machine guns. They will interpret it as a united country out to win at all costs, just as Bulgaria did. Salem, the capital of Oregon, is still short on her quota and ought to make good. It should be a personal matter with every good American, waging war mat per manent peace may come. Thousands of Oregon boys are nt the front it mav helrt to save many of their lives. It will be our part in framing the message that will bring cheer to our boys in the trenches and strike terror King Albert is personally in command of the armies that are sweeping the Germans out of Belgium, which is fitting and proper. We have Jittle respect for the system that tolerates kings and crowns in any way whatever, but if we must have them the King Albert brand is about the best we know of, since the Belgian king, like that of Eng land, is more a figurehead than anything else, and not a despotic ruler. Albert spent a good deal of time in this country before he succeeded to the throne, and was a likable fellow who might even have made good in this country in competition with our American boys. Since the war began he has shown sterling qualities and the i. i i - ii i Ail. t in greatest oi pnysicai, as weu as morai cuurage. aiucx i h science haii. being a king is the result of the accident of birth and it is not his fault altogether that he wears a crown. fiaKeeDS.A.T.C.Boys From Getting Lonesome l number of women interested in the J welfare of toldiers . and especially j those of the Students Army Training; eorp of Willamette "University have j started a movement by which they hope ' to make the life of the S. A. T- C.j student much more cheerful than mere j barrick life offers. As a move in . this direction, they will furnish the upper story of the. Science building of the University inj which the boys have their barrack and make it as home-like as possible. In order to do this it will be neces sary to have a rug, some chairs, long reading table and other furniture that goes to mane up a x. m. u. a. nut siyie of place. It is hoped by the women that some people in the eity will be gen-1 erous enough to donate these, and in I IS -s8aa The Germans, seeing the day of accounting at hand and having received President Wilson's opinion of their manner of waging ruthless warfare, are said to have given orders to commanders to distroy no more property in northern France and Belgium, unless military necessities require it. An example was given of the new order, when the German commander at Lille, on evacuating the city, pointed in the direction of the alliedT lines and told the people to go out and meet their friends. Formerly they carried the inhabitants, of the towns back with them to become virtual slaves. The light is dawning in darkest Prussia at last. . ' The Oregonian strenuously objects tb.

In doing what they can for tlie young students, all of whom are under ill years of age, the object is to make life more pleasant for them in various ways.

This meeting is for those especially-interested in the wel fare of soldiers- When the tow-headed school boy of the future studies the history of this great war he will go up against things like this: "Severe fighting was in progress at Lishmisck- aya and at Troitskovasovsn."

All kinds of bread are being made to take the place of wheaten loaves; in ventive women are arrayed around the nation's cooking stoves. I've eaten bread composed of rice, I've eaten bread they made of bran, and some was punk and some was nice, and some was but an also ran. I've eaten stuff they called corn bread, the kind that helps to win the war; and it outweighed a bar of lead, and tasted like exclsior. Down in the south they make corn pone that soothes the soul, it is so nice; a pampered monarch on his throne might envy one who has a slice. If I had southern pone to eat, I would not care a finetooth comb, if all the mills quit grinding wheat until the speckled cbws come home. Anon a northern woman cries. "I know just how that pone is made; I ve been down south, and I ai wise to all the se crets of the trade." And then she tries to show her skill, and makes corn bread that I would like to , shovel into Kaiser Bill until his works went on a strike, we can t make none deserving fame, all honest northerners allow; I wish some loyal southern dame would travel round and show us how. HntttHntttHHttmtm THE WIFE By JANE PHELPS MOLLY KINO AND CLAUDE BECK- LEY DINE WITH RUTH AND BRIAN LADD & BUSH, Bankers sxre receiving subscriptions now for the yi.ATU LIBERTY vi.is.Ji BONDS CIiAPTER LXI. The day that Kuth had invited Mol lie and Claude to dinner, found her al most rt'xrottlng her impulsive invita tion. ''Perhaps I inn doing . wrong in throwing Itrian and Mollie King to gether more than is necessary," she thought as she hurried home to help Crawford arrange the table. For, while an excellent cook. Mrs. Crawford' ar tistie education had been neglected; and Ruth never failed to. give the fmiithtiie touches to the table, even when she and Brian dined alono. She stopped at the florist's and bought oiue sweet peas. She bought extravagantly, as she always did when purrhuii'hg f'owers. She passed the pale pink and unite ones by, ana stueotod the rose and violet colored ones, big double blooms that gave character to the room as soon as disposed in the clever manner which eame to naturally to Euth. The Oinner was to be very simple. Sonp, broiled chicken, a vegetable sal ad end dessert. "Jon't try to have anything very lancy." Brian had said to-her. 'Those two Indians -on it in restaur ants most of the time. Gioo them tvd, plain dinner. Hume cooking will 'taste mighty good to them." t?uth had sensibly followed his d- ve. Frian csme in early nnd when saw the table he whistled: "Looks liko a banquet; ' 1 Aren't they lovelv! I just enuldnt resiii them. But it will be no banquet jnat the plain home dinner you wig gcatett." ''Hope you've got enough! Beekly is alwavj half starved.' "Oh, I have plenty of everything." The two guests arrived together. Boekly was disposed to be facetious, and eoniplained that Mollie was too bashful to eonte alone, and that he had to wait ten minutes whilo she powdered her nose. ''It makes no difference,'! Buth said quietly,- although she had been a bit worried for fear her dinner would be overdone. , - ,: ' 'Really, Mrs. Hackctt, it would have been butter had he not stopped for me; no one can do anything, when he is around He chatters like a foolish mag pie all the time." " Why are yon two girls so formal" the irrepressible Beckly asked, causing them both to flush and look a bit fool ish. ''As long as .Hackett calls you Mollie,' I should think you would bo Mollie' and 'liuth' to each other.' "That's .so!" Brian broke in. "Why doht you call each other something beside 'Mrs..' and 'Misi' ''I should.be very pleased.' Euth said, her color heightened, but looking directly at Mollie. "So should II ' Mollie answered, as they seated themselves "Bless you, my children! bless you!" Beeklv said mockingly, his hands raised. Oh how lovely!" MoUv" enthus ed, looking daggers at. Claude. She was fur from being stupid, and she sensed that Kuth did not like such nonsense, and also that ho wus not pleased to be told what she should call people, or to have them told how to address her. "Anen't theyf" Euth replied, just as Crawford brought in the soup, so giving Clandc Beckly something to do. The dinner passed otf gayly enough although Kuth was all the time con scious of a little restraint. Brian tried to play the tactful host, and did noth ing to cause Euth to regret she had asKea Moitie. With the coffee, Claude jBeckly's faoetiousncss returned. Ho talked of the dnv tliey met on the roof garden, of Kuth's wonderful goodness to Brian. ''Instead of ragging him, as most women would do, hore you invite Mol lie to your home and feed her up with the best dinner she bai had in manf a day. Eomember, I asked you once if there were any more at home like yout' NoV, if there are, please recom mend nre, won't youf I d get married tomorrow if I could find a wife who would let nie go on making love to Mollie and mv other sweethearts'' "Silly!" Mollio exploded, 'If any one took you seriously, you would have been tarred and feathered long ago. You deserve it, as it is." ''Cruel Mollie! does she talk like that to yon Brian, when you are having those tete-a-tete dinners m some swell jointt" "Of course not! Mollie discrimin ates," Brian replied, but Kuth noticed he looked annoyed. She would have liked to have strangled Beckly. But her unts training stood her in good stead, and she rose smilingly and led the way to the living room, where Crawford had ' placed the table and eards, They had decided to play bridge tor an hour or so. "Come, Ruth, we'll show Mollie and Brian how to plav ards." Beeklv said ag he picked up the cards to deal them. Ruth made no reply, but Brian, glanc ing np to see how she took Beckly's famuianty whieh he jealously resent Chicago,' Oct. 17. The preliminary hearing of Victor A.
