Germany's present eagerness for peace probably is. based as much on financial as military disaster, though the latter has been very serious. The ninth German loan was as consoicuous a failure as the Fourth American ' loan was a success.In contrast with the $6,000,000,000 over- subscribed by our people, the Germans are reported to have subscribed less than $500,000,000, only about one eighth of their last loan.. . Their military failure has made them realize their financial peril. We are accustomed to thinking that we ended our Civil War with an enormous debt; and so we did, judged by ordinary standards. But while the debt of the victor ious northern states in 1865 amounted to $114 per capita, the debt of defeated Germany is now more than $450 per capita, and still rising fast. The Germans have always been buoyed up with the promise that their war debt would be wiped out by in demnities imposed on their beaten foes. Now they have suddenly -awakened to the fact that they are not going to collect any indemnities- that on the contrary, they may be obliged to raise more billions in forced payments to the nations they have wronged. So there are accumulating signs of financial panic to add to other troubles of a disillusioned nation. Currency is being hoarded. The government's credit is gone. Busi ness is shot to pieces. There are runs on banks. Stock values are tumbling. All of which adds to the effect of the allied offensive, and fans the flames of German revo lution. ' ' Now that election day is practically over it is proper to review the situation and make a somewhat definite forecast. The republican ticket will probably win in the state, although Pierce has a fighting show for governor. He might have been elected easily because there is such dis satisfaction with the ' Withycombe administration and Senator Pierce is an especially able man and popular j wherever personally known. However, the Charaberlain West democrats, with the Portland Journal as their or-1 gan, have thrown down the Pierce campaign in the inter est of West for senator, and are evidently trading every thing to that end which is in keeping with the Chamber lain idea of poloitics. The senator himself arrived in Oregon yesterday to personallyjake charge of the final arrangements' to put his protege over if possible. This situation naturally gives Pierce, a minority candidate, an uphill task to win, or eventiake a creditable showing.. We believe the West campaign will also fail, but it is difficult to forecast the strength of erratic politicians. They are likely always to spring a surprise by the exceed ingly heavy or exceedingly light vote they poll No par ticular reason has been advanced why West should be chosen over McNary, except that President Wilson should be sustained. Those who advance this argument, how ever, failing to show how West, as a follower of Senator Chamberlain, would be likely to stand back of the presi dent in his war measures as reliably as Senator McNary has. That is the weak point in the West campaign. Logic ally speaking it ought to fail. Still the strength of a man like West is a particularly difficult thing to measure be fore the votes are counted. Chamberlain is evidently making it a test of his control in Oregon" politics. Besides these two leading places there are no real contests on the state ticketexcept supreme court justice, wherein three republicans and one democrat are running and the name of the candidate has to be written m by the voter. It is anybody's race until the official returns are in. I Crepe de Cbine WasU WorA Regnhr op to HSO'and-'SO.- Sale Price ?195 I I S tr mm r .. w Mmrmw-mmm ll TMIMKJV. Old White Corner Building?

THAT DEMOCRATIC REICHSTAG.- We would have more faith in the German reichstag as the legislative voice of the "New German democracy" if it were not precisely the same reichstag, as the pliant servant of Prussian militarism, which approved the in famous treaties of Brest-Litovsk and Bucharest. We cannot be sure that the reichstag has had -a change of heart until it has had a change of membership, chosen through fair, free, universal manhood suffrage that is promised but not yet accomplished. . Wilhelm ' has announced that he is willing to be a "sort of hereditary president like Albert of Belgium, or George of England." If he had the least sense of humor, however, he would laugh himself to death over his own nronosal and thus save the rest of the world a lot of trouble. Germany, has the choice of surrendering or taking a mighty sound whipping. We'll guess the kaiser and all his crowd will show the yellow streak by surrendering. Apparently those notes of President Wilson have done more to knock the foundation from under the Ger man military establishment than our doughboys, valor ous as the latter are. European people seem to be going the limit in the direction of what seems to them to be the meaning of Wilsonian democracy. Both sides are sure victors in the election today. It will be a different story tomorrow, however. If the kaiser doesn't hurry to surrender the allies may save him the trouble by taking him prisoner. RIPPLING RHYMES By Walt Mason : OLD HOME WEEK.

No orators' are thundering a lot of phrases fine, no village bands are blundering through "Watches on the Rhine".

But Ruth's guy spirits soon made him forget Mollie and his own pnssivo de ception. She told him as much of her business matters as she thought would interest him, then of her trip down on the train, repenting little incidents in so entertaining ft manner that the time passed quickly. Passed, too, with out as much as one thought straying Mel lie-ward. The tension so often present, was not felt between them. In fact it had been a long time since they had passed so idensnnt an evening when aioiwv Yot subconsciously Ruth had been wonder ing how often Brian had seen Mollio, and if he had dined with her. I Here were two people in love with each other, but tocause of the foolish i pride of one, they were actually drift ing apart wnon tno very tning wiuen caused the prideful attitudo should' have brought them together. Ruth cared nothing for money for money's sake; it was only a inoang to make hor and Brian more fomfortable, Riid so hnmnor, She considered his objection I to her working foolish, snd thought that soon he would look at it from her viewpoint. The next evening as soon a they fin ished dinner, Brian tint on his hat, Iu accident commission during tho past year shows a general increase up to August, during which month 2,494 re ports were received.

Ruth answered proudly as sho set up the card table. "I awfully hated to have him go iut to night, but I would not let him seo it. Ho is so god about my work, and 1 have to- bo away so much. ' ' There was a peculiar look upon Ken yon Roberts' face when Ruth spoke about Brian s goodness when sho was obliged f0 bp away, which she fortu nately did not notice. He had seen Brian, unobserved by the latter, several times with his arms full of parcels, hur rying iu the direction of Washington Square. And ag Clara had told him that Mollie Kiug, whom Brian used to know, intimately, lived down there, he had put two and two together and made four without any trouble. But he was not a gossip, and had as yet not mentioned it ewa to Clara, . . Brian camo in about half-past ten. Ruth had just goue into the kitchen to make the rarebit, Clara accompanying I her. . "What business school are you at tondingt" Kenyon Roberts asked. "Oh, one down in the vicinity of the Square!" Brian answered, glad that Rut'u was not in the room to hear tho question.

We '11 havo to play threo hauled that is all," she tried to hide her tfisnppoiutmont. Brian was doing something te increase his ef ficiency iu his office, to save money at the same time; sho must not discourage him. It wasn't tho nionoy he would savo that appealed to hor; it was the idea that at last he was bestirring him self. "Never mind, you will be homo in tinio for the rarebit,"- sho added brightly, "I'll not start it until nearly eleven;" sho kissed him good bye and patted him on the shoulder in a inothcr- lv sort of a wnv. Sho hated to have him spend his oveningg away from her; yet sho would not Bay or do a thing to inako him feel that she disapproved. Reallv sho didn't! she was proud that ho had thought of doing something, auything, no matter what it was. Brian s optimistic attitude, without the effort required to mako it come truo, had worried Ruth. He was always "going to get. there," but it was "some day," not NOW. Whilo they were so comfortable as regarded money (owing to her salary), Ruth cared little for what the finan cial returns might bo for tho present What sho wanted, longed for, .was his success; his recognition as a lawver. In other, words, sho wanted to be proud of him.
