Italy and Greece will be lined u in a war against Russia at the end of the present war, and that we are in for about another ten years of milltarism. No pros- poets are visible for revolution in Germany either before or after the close of thewar. Mi'itarism has done its>' deadly work and, it has not produced a brave class of men. The mass efficiency" movement of the German army prove this. Mass moves in military, tactics are the sign of physical fear.
 As evidence of the way capitalism i. adjusting itself to the situation, note the British financial experts arriving in America to assist in adjusting interna- tional finance. The capitalists do not want financial crisis in America at present, and there will not be one. War is dangerous to capitalism.
 Socialism, is the only hope. How soon will the people of the sarth see 1t? Education is civilization.

DODS(N
Convicted Of Brutal Murder
and Once Sentenced to
Hang, Man Is Released
Through Executive Action

Salem, Ore, Dec. 9.-After having
served 10 years In the state prison
for the murder of William Dunlap
an aged miner OF Grants Pass, A, E.
Dodson, who was once sentenced to
hang for the crime, was pardoned
Tuesday afternoon BY Governor
Withycombe. Dodson was sentenced
to hang August IL, 1905, but move
Iment to have his sentence commuted
to life Imprisonment was successful
II was argued in his behalf then
that he was tool Of Andrew Ingram,
who was given life sentence for his
part in the murder. Dodson confess
ed he had fired the shot that ended
Dunlap's life.
According to evidence introduced
at the time OF the murder, robbery
was the motive, and Dodson and In
gram had twice visited Dunlap's
cabin In the Louise creek district with
the intention Of killing the miner.
The killing occurred on the occasion
OF the third visit.
Ingram's son became suspicious OF
the actionssef his father and Dodson
and watched them. When his father
learned that the boy knew OF the
murder he made the boy return to
the shack and search the dead body,
hoping in this way that he would NOT
tell the authorities. The youth kept
silent for year and half and 1t
was his confession that sent his faith
er to prison with Dodson.
The murder was a cold blooded af-
fair. Dunlap had entertained Dod-
son and believed him to be his
friend. He was shot down without
warning. Following his crime, Dod-
son rushed from the cabin. but later
returned with Ingram to loot the
place.
According to statements given out
here. Dodson was pardoned because
he has already lost the sight Of
one eye and will soon be totally blind.
Dodson, II was explained, will go to
Colorado to live with a brother.

UNCONSCIOUS Man
FOUND NEAR THE RR.
TRACK EARLY TODAY

When the section crew from Mer-
lin went out to work this morning
they found lying by the track two
miles this side of Merlin young
man who was in an unconscious con-
dition and suffering from injuries
evidently caused by fall from a
train, He was lying in pool OF
water by the side of the track and
was bruised about the head. bad
scalp wound being the most serious
injury noted. The man was at once
brought to Grants Pass on the hand
car and placed in the hospital, where
he was attended by DR.. Loughridge.
Later it developed that the young
man was VIM. v. Haverson, and that
he lived near Salem. his parents
home being on route Z out Of that
city. He had left with a brother,
with whom he arrived at West Fork

ated, the one coming on to this city.
where he was waiting for his brother.
On learning Of the injured man. he
made inquiry and found that 1t was
the brother he had left at West Fork.
1t Is supposed that the man started
for this city on one of the night
trains, probably the Shasta Limited,
and that he fell from It, the fall
causing him to lose consciousness.
The doctor thinks that the man Is
now suffering more from the ex-
posure Of lying most Of the night in
the cold and wet than from the fall
from the train. The injured man Is
showing Improvement this afternoon,
though he has not yet fully regained
consciousness. He Is 10 years OF age.
