Since this country went into tho war April 6 1917, no letters or word of any kind has been received from cither country as all postnl service was discontinued with tho declaration of war. John Jutson Foster, living on rural routo 4, Salem, has filed his declar ation of intention to become a citizen of the United States- He has been living in this country about 40 years without being a citizen as his declaration states that ho came to tho country from Can ada :by tho wagon route when ho was about two years old.

Vincent writes to his mother here that he had been appointed regimental cartoonist. The appointment was made by Col- Logan of Boston, of the 10st V. S. Infantry regiment.

CANNOT BE RAISED ON NOVEMBER 15 Public Service Commisioner Says.Advertised Advance Is Illegal The proposed increase ?n telephone rates in Oregon, filed with the public service commission by the Pacific Tele phone and Telegraph company to be come effective -November 15, are 'ille gal and void and cannot be collected, according to a statement issued today by Public Service Commissioner Buch tel. . Chairman Miller of the commission also pointed out that rates of any pub lic utility in Oregon cannot be increas ed over existing rates on January 1, 1911, without approval of the commis sion. In this instance the telephone com pany has not sougrt the approval of the commission, but; is apparently' pro ceeding on the theory that the rates will go into effect regardless of wheth er the commission approves. Commissioner Buchtel says that, af ter the commission's investigation into service conditions of the company, he is not convinced that the company's troubles are duo to financial straights. He points out that the commission de mands good service as a condition for increases , in rates and suggests that the company might try giving good service. PRINTERS OF SALFH WANT BIG INCREASE Will Ask State And Other Em ployers For $6 Day Min imum Wage Scale. The state printing board, along with other employers, of printers in Salem, has been served with a notice from the scale committee of tho Capital Typo graphical Union that wages are to be increased, effective January 8 next. As the state printing board refuses to officially recognizo the union and deal with it the notice will bo ignored, and if printers employed by the state wish an increase in wages tho requost will havo to come from them as state em ployes and not as members of a union, according to member's' of the board. Tho proposed scale provides for a minimum wage of $6 a day whereas tho state is now paying $3.25, and $6.50 for the first night shift and $7 for the second night shift. The state is now "paying $5.75 for the first night shift and has no socond night shift. If the proposed increase is not satis factory to tho employers, the union committeo asks for a conference so the matter may bo arbitrated beforo tho first of the yoar. On different occasions in the past tht union has sought to obtain official rec ognition from tho state printing board but has failed.

TO QUIT MARKS FINALCOLLAPSE Has Been Irresponsible An Agency In World War Is President's Belief. Ey Bobert J. Bender (United Press staff correspondent) Washington, Nov. 9. T'ie reported decision of the German kaiser and tho crown prince to relinquish the Hohen zollern throne was viewed here by of ficials today as the final collapse of militarism in Germany. The kaiser, long the center of the military party in control cf German affairs, has been held by President Wilson to be the irresponsible agency in the world war, which should be abolished if future peace were to be insured. Since America's entrance into the struggle the president has been nnswerv ing in his determination to- sweep the kaiser from the throne. By epen diplo macy, first directed at the German people, and later bluntly to the Ger man government itself, the president has declared that the Hohenzollerns and all they represented were the gTeat est obstacles in the path of peace. It may be sal that the president has been firmly convinced for many weeks that eventually ho would ,win his fight against this world! figure. Whether the kaiser's abdication was brought about finally by the terms ftf the armistice, now in Berlin or wheth er he gave up his battle to. retain the throne under pressure of the growing restlessness of his people is not known here. .The state department professed up to four o 'clock to havo nothing on the reported abdication. an .nonrn. oa fnllnwH!

Just as every thing looked as if the food administra tion was willing that prunes should oe shipped," came a telegram this morning, ordering prune packers to discontinue loading and shipping prunes against purchase order issued at the Portland depot October 21. Not only this but they were abo or dered not to load or ship on any pur chasing instructions they may have had from the Portland office on allotments made through United Stntas Federal food administration. The telegram is signed by the quartermaster of the U. S, army, stationed at Portland. Hence once again everything is held up and the packers are wondering where they got off. It has been the same story since the government commander ed the prune cp. There is fitst ohe SERGEANT LOSES THE WESTERN FRONT He Says Washing Is Simple; Just Soak 'Em, Steam 'Em And Bake 'Em. By rrank J- Taylor (United Press Staff Correspondent) With the American Armies in France Oct. 10. (By Mail) On a muddy cross road near Verdun a sergeant with a deeply lined faec stepped up and ask ed if he might ride to tho next batch of ruins, which he called a town. The following conversation was educational, to say the least, to tho occupants of the press car: "You chaps ain't seen my'laundry anywhere " the sergeant asked. ''Laundry 1 We didn't know there was a laundry in this part of France-', ''Well, there is, and it belongs to us. At least it did yesterday. This morning I got orders to report to the corps; you see, we've been transferred from the division to tho corps. When I got back from headquarters the division had moved and the laundry was gone. I think they stole it that's tho way they got us." ''Who'd they steal you fromt" . ' ''Oh, a hospital we used to be at tached to. The division was there two months and when they moved they hitched our laundry onto a truck and took us with 'em. We were ready to go through. Some division, those Ohio fellows." "Your laundry is on wheels then?" ''Yes, sir. Haven't you seen it? It needs wheels, the way this division koeps moving- Our laundry is a couple of big tanks on a wagon, with a steam heating apparatus to it. First, we soak the duds in suds, then we steam them and next we bake them. In an hour everything is washed, rinsed and dried." . ''Pretty hard to clean some of these duds, isn't it?" ' 'Not when you know how. Yqu see, we were in the business beforo the war. We wore enlisted to wash clothes. All were doing now is O. D. shirts, box and underclothes. When a bunch comes out of the trenches wo give 'cm now clothes and run the old ones through the washing machine. Fifteen hundred outfits a day that's our average. Three weeks to launder tho whoe divis ion. ' ''But here's whero the division left with my laundry. I'll catch up with 'em now, all right. So long." IS The quota for Marion county for the United War fund diWe originally as signed was $37,050,000, $25,000.00 of which was to bo raised in the city of Salein. If Marion county is to do its full share, however, it must resp'ond with an additional 50 per cent, which will mean that Marion county will have to respond with $63,000.00, $37,500.00 of which must bo raised in the city of Sa lem. It may seem a considerable sum to many but it is really very little when we consider the comfort andhelp it will mean to our boys "over there." In answer to tho question as to how the money will be divided the following will answer that purposo: Out of eacii $100 raised tho Y. M. C. A. will receive $58.05, Knights of Columbus, $17.60, Jewish Welfaro Board $2.05, Y. W. C. A. .$8.80, Sulvation 'Army $2.05, War Camp Community Service $8.80, the American Library Association $2.05. Each 'of tho organizations perform its own particular, indispensable part in maintaining tho morale of our millions of fighters and war workers. Our men aro proving themselves the fittest sol-1 diers Europe ever saw or felt. We have : got to keep them fit aud it will be somo: tune after peace is established beiore tiiey get back home. Considerable publicity is being given tho contents of a telegram which has been sent out from the Isational Ked Cross headquarters by Henry P. David sou, chairman of tho ' American Bad Cross. The telegram is the result of a five-weeks' inspection trip by Mr. Da vidson in England, Franco and Italy whero ho has had an unusual. opportuni ty to observe the work of the seven war work agencies which aro now mak ing their appeal for funds. Tho tele gram has. been sent to all auxiliaries throughout the United States, the to tal membership of which aggregates 20,000,000. The telegram is as follows: among our men back of the lines in j England, Finice and Italy I have had opportunity to observe the work of thel seven relief organizations. Certainly , every chapter of American Red Cross j within the United States and indeed in' all other parts of the world and alii citizens of the United States would, contribute to the work of the seven or ganizations if they could appreciate its im ortance. Our nearly 2,000,000 men men aro far from home, in strange lands and need as men never needed before just the things the svn organi zations supply. I am therefore confi dent the entire Red Cross, conscious of its obligations, will co-operate with en thusiasm and zeal on the coming cam paign." thing and then another thrown in the way of packers making shipments. Ac cording to general information on the street, the situation is that the food administration will not permit packers to sell in the open markets nor will it issue instructions for packers to fill government orders.
