demand for military service for wom-
Ell is the latest phase of the extreme
feminist movement in continental Europe
The ardent advocates of complete equal
ity between the sexes argue that as they
claim a right to share the political privi-
leges of the male sex they must also be
prepared To take on themselves those
burdens that now are placed solely and
exclusively on mems shoulders.
One of the elementary duties OF citizen
ship for men in the countries of CONT
mental Europe is TO serve as a soldier
for a fixed period. and the femnists now
declare that the same obligation should
be placed on women to serve their own
country in the same way, but with one
distinction.
The feminists, or. at least. most of
them. do not claim that women should
actually fight side by side with their hus-
bands and brothers in :he front line of
battle. but that they should be traineI
to perform such military services as are
adapted To their physical inferiority to
men
Primarily, it is suggested that women
be utilized for ambulance work and also
for certain auxiliary departments of the
army, such the commissariat and
similar sections of a country's military
forces. The feminists maintain. however,
that even to perform such auxiliary and
supplementary duties would neceSSitate a
thorough knowledge of the use of modern
weapons. because there are cases of
emergency in which auxiliary troops
might find it necessary TO defend them
selves AGAINST some burden and unex-
pected attack: consequently a demand is
put forward for the military training o.
all girls IL all the schools of the coun-
try. public and rrivate alike

Should Be Taught to Shoot.

The feminists propose that girls should
be drilled and trained in the use of rifles
and revolvers sufficiently to enable them
to use such weapons in circumstances OF
urgent necessity. The employment of
women in the auxiliary departments of
the army would increase the number OF
combatants available for service in the
front fighting line, and ought, there
fore, they say. to be warmly welcomed by
every government and minister OF war.
A small section of the feminists go still
further than this. and demand that wOm-
en- should become soldiers in precise Y
the same way as men that they should
share all the hardShips and nnn
actual campaigning in the fighting line,
and that they should be compeieu 10 III.

service as men.
The idea in this case is that military
service ought to be rendered before mar

new demand for the extension of COM

tries. but so far public opinion in all
those countries in which propaganda

pass congress, with some minor
amendments, among them being

Gated a unanimous report in favor OF
the bill.

RAILROAD NAN PASSES AWAY
Hunt. Pioneer Railroad Builder Died
In Portland.

George W. Hunt, one of Oregon's
pioneers died at his home in Portland
Saturday aged 68 years. Mr.. Hunt
came west in 1859 and spent his life
in Oregon, Washington and Idaho.
He established freight line, using
horses, in eastern Oregon and later
opened up line between The Dalles,
Ore, and Boise, Idaho. He built the
Corvallis and Eastern railway and the
Hunt system which opened great
wheat country in eastern Oregon and
Washington. These lines extended
from Nallula to Pendleton and Athena
from Walulla to Walla Walia, Day
ton and Waitsburg, and now form
part of the Northen Pacific system.
The Corvallis and eastern runs from
Corvallis, In the Willamette valley to
Newport on Yaquina Bay, Oregon.
Mr. Hunt originated the idea Of a
water level road down the Columbia
river, which would obviate the noun
tain climb over the Cascades and
which was finally accomplished by
the construction of the North Bank
road. Mr.. Hunt Lost fortune in
building road from Centralia to
Grays Harbor, but later recouped a
large portion of it in Western Uma-
tilla county lands. A short time ago
he possessed $4,000 acres in that Sec
tion. He was rated az millionaire

A COUNTY BASEBALL LEAGUE
League With Pendleton, Athena. Wes-
ton and Pilot Rock is Talked.

Athena is asked to enter baseball
team in proposed four team league,
comprising the towns of Weston, Ath-

Nelson, Of Pendleton, was in the city
Tuesday interviewing players and fans
on the proposition. A meeting of the
ball players now in the city is called
for Sunday, at which time the base
ball situation will be discussed.
The East Oregonian says: The four
town baseball league is now assured,
according to Clarke Nelson, who has
just returned from a, visit to Athena
in the interest Of the organization. 1t
is to be strictly an amateur league and
the towns of Weston. Athena. Pilot
Rock and Pendleton will be represen-
ted.
The Weston and Pilot Rock organi-
cations have already been perfected
and the Athena fans are to have a
meeting in the near future to form the
organization. Nelson reports much in
terest in Athena, the town which
has the reputation Of putting out the
best ball teams Of any city of its size
in the entire northwest. 1t is there.
fore evident that when the Athens
spirit gets to working properly thai
the town will be represented with 9
team which will not be found at th'
foot of the pole in the race for the
pennant.
Athena will be the most fortunate
town of the empire league in many
respects. The new city park which il
being formed will include baseball
diamond as we'll as a track for 6elt
meets. As the park is supplied witt
shade and is almost within the very
center of the city the conditions are
ideal for successful ball.
