THE DAILY CAPITAL JOURNAL It the only nowspaper in Balem whose circulation is guaranteed by the Audit Bureau Of Circulations MISS TCHENG OF There are signs everywhere of the waking up of the indolent old world, but one of the most significant is that a Chinese woman, Miss Tcheng, is enroute for Paris to report the peace conference for the newspapers of China. Miss Tcheng, who is well known in her own country, is the first Chinese woman lawyer, and she holds a cer tificate from the University of Paris giving her the right to practice law in the French courts. There have been some educated women in China, al ways. But their education was as a rule, purely Chinese, and their range of action closely confined. For a Chinese woman to be fitted for public service abroad, and to un dertake such a journey independently, may seem a small matter, but after all it is a milestone toward modernism in the progress of an ancient race. The journey across the world may be long, but it is a trifle compared to the dis tance that the Chinese women have come in their struggle out into the world. Those persons who believe there still exists such a thing as isolation would do well to consider Miss Tcheng of Pekin and Paris. Government 'troops used sulphur 'fumes' to smoke the Spartacans out of the Lichtenberg lunatic asylum, where they had taken refuge, according to a dispatch received from Berlin yesterday.' Why go to all that trouble when the Spartacans were congenially and appropriately located? There may be war and rumors of war, but neverthe less peace is on the way. The good old two-headed calf is once more reported, this time in a Maryland paper. . We may be prepared also to expect the return of the sea ser pent to our popular coast resorts next summer.

An illuminating characterization of war-charity grafters was made in a report submitted by a New York official to the military affairs committee of the United States senate. There are the "100 per cent boys" who pocketed all the' money they collected from generous citi zens, even cashing the checks themselves; there are the "65 per cent boys", who turned into legitimate war char itis only 35 per cent of what they collected;; there were the "30 per cent boys", and there were the boys who took not only the money but everything else they could get. To correct this evil, a bill has been introduced in the New York legislature requiring a certificate of registra tion for anybody who wants to promote any public bazaar, sale, entertainment or exhibition, to raise money for any charitable, benevolent or patriotic purpose. It must sub sequently be shown how such money was collected, who the contributors were, what salaries were paid and what all the expenses were for. There ought to be such a system everywhere for keep ing tab on charities, especially war charities. It may be granted, that the majority of appeals are legitimate and well managed. It is for their benefit, however, as well as the public benefit, to control the others. A great many cities over the country have begun ex tensive advertising campaigns in order to attract capital and needed industries. Such a campaign might be pro ductive of good results here, since conditions seem ripe for a healthy and substantial growth. .

Neil was determined to toll mo nothing of his affairs; and so long M he re fused, what was the uso of making my self unhappy over themf I was con vinced now that it was more because he was smarter than these othor men, that they were in a senao jealous of his success, and that was the reason, and that only, why they had flung out their insinuations. I really enjoyed the morning. Lor- raino was always good company, even tho she wan inclined to gossip a little, ' perhaps more interesting because of this! iSho insisted that I stay out and lunch with ber. I was uothing loath, and we fixed . upon Sherry's as the place whero we could see more people we knew. . The head waiter, who knew ui both, gave us a very nice table on the bal cony, looking out upon the avenue. We ordered and were waiting to be served. when, bearing a loiul voice objecting to being given a certain table, I turned. To my surprise, the owner of the ob jecting voice proved to be Mr. ecott. Blanche Ortou "was his companion. They were finally seated to please him, but to my disappointment, where I could neither see nor hear them.

No, I concluded he knew nothing of it. Just then I turned again toward whero thoy were seated, and saw Neil come in &nd join thorn! Lorraine hud not seen him. Should I tell her, or should I sav nothing t I was postive that Nuil had not seen us; that he would not, if I decided to gu without letting him know I was there. But why should 1 aet as if either of us were doing something we wanted to keep secret! I called the waiter. "Did you see Mr. Forbes, the gentle men who just sat down over at that cor ner table!" ' ''Yes, madamet I know Mr. Forbes quite well. I often wait upon him." "Tell him, please, that his wife would like to speak to him." The garrulous waiter immediately crossed to Neil. He looked surprised, but rose and camo over at once. "MrB. Orton has, no need of two escorts, you come over here with us," I said, after ho had spoken to Umine. "That's impossible, much as I should enjoy it. I ran't even ask you anil Lorraine to join us. We are talking business today." For tho urst time I noticed that ho had an anxious look; the imva ni am face were unusually prominent. "But I thought you had finished i with Mr. Scott!" I would not men-l tion Blanche.

I hava had several thousands of troops under my command since the beginning of the war, but I have never seen any that compared with the Oregon and Northwest troops in physique and intelligence. Colonel John L.

Ho corroborated the statement so often mado that in a sense the Amorican dash and indomitable courage and resource fulness won the war. Ho told also of how the appearance of tho American at tho front checked both tho retreat of the Fernch and the onslaugti ot the Gormans and thus turned the tide. In those first days he was in touch with many French eommandors and he help ed to stiffen their vertebrae with the statement that the Yankees wore thoro to fight for fifty years if necessary.

Throughout his service in France he had repeated oc casions to be proud of the Oregon boys, who made for themselves a reputation among the French troops and civilians. In fact, he considers that our boys hsrvo done some of the best advertising Ore gon ever did. They were famous for being first over tho top, and as among tho finest in appearance. Col.
