IS ENTHUSIASTIC
OVER GOOD ROADS

II the little town Of Hood River
can AFFORD to bond itself for $4,000
to bring the Columbia Highway
through their little city. why can't
the county OF Malheur AFFORD TO
spend n little money. and It's citi-
zens unite In an effort. to bring the
State Highway over the proposed new
route. This Ia the question being
asked by Or. Prinzing who has Just
returned from a visit to the western
part OF the state. The proposed new
route is to leave the Columbia river
a short distance above The Dalles
and take short cut in q southeast
erly direction, connecting with the
Idaho State Highway at Ontario and
Fruitland. II IL claimed that this
route will bring the highway through
the lowest pass In the Blue mountain
and will be 100 miles shorter than
the route formerly proposed through
La Grande and Baker.
Gillian, Wheeler and Maiheur
counties would equally benefit from
this route and II is hoped that COM
mittees will Immediately get In CON-
munication with the organizations In
these counties and make plans to
work harmoniously for the highway.
DR.. Prinzing is more than enthu-
siastic over the scenic beauty OF the
Columbia Highway. He states that
he was over the greater part OF Il,
and believes that nothing In the for
eign countries could equal the nat
ural beauty along this road. Every
available spot OF beauty has been
brought out and paved roads or paths
lead to all the attractive places.
Portland is spending an enormous
sum this year. states DR.. Prinzing,
to bring the transcontinental travel
through Portland. and 80 far has sue
ceeded in bringing many thousands
OF tourists there. who are lavish In
their praise OF the city and the beau
Iifui drives. That Portland has sue
ceeded In bringing the tourists
there In the past few years is demon
'trated in the fact that six mammoth
hotels have been built In the past
.en years. some of them with as many
rs $50 rooms each.

GERMAN LOSSES 100000.

The French war office, in review of the first six months of the war, takes the attitude that Germany has reached and passed the high-water mark of her efficiency. It places her loss in killed, wounded and prisoners for the first six months of the war at 1,800,000 men, not including those disa bled by sickness. It claims that to replace these and subsequent loss es she has not more than 2,000,000 men available. Since the expiration of the period covered by this esti. mate two months have elapsed, ill which the losses on both sides have been heavy. It is also true, perhaps, that France has reached her maxi mum of efficiency in a military sense, but Great Britain has not by any means done so. Kitchener's army is not yet wholly ready for service and Britain can still recruit, if necessary, a couple of million more men, while there are ample reserves of men in India. It is frankly admitted by the British that the supply of munitions is the vital factor at present.-Ex.

Allies Re-outfitted Servia.

LONDON, May 22.-The war office admits that the new equipment sent to Servia the past four months was sent from British and French mill- tary supply depots and the Servian army is now fully equipped with ev- cry military need. Food supplies are also being rushed to Servia so that an offensive may be started and the Russians relieved of much pressure in the Galician campaign.
 Germans Pressing GaIician Campaign
 The military experts here say that the Germans are pressing the Rus sians in Galicia with huge forces in order to if possible destroy the Rus sian offensive before the entrance of Italy and Rumania into the conflict The Russians have made great con sessions to Rumania in an effort to have the Rumanians strike at the rear of the Austrian army operating in Bukowina.

MONEY AND LEADERSHIP.

For years the name of "the Roths- childs" in Europe has been synony- nous with vast wealth and the in. fluence which attaches to it. It is therefore a little startling at first to read that the late Baron Rothschild's estate, as sworn to for probate, amounts to but $12,500,0O0.
 Probably the total was reduced be- fore his death by gifts to the liv- ing-family and charitable. But when all allowances are made the fact re. mains that the dead man, once regard ed as Englands greatest financier left property of less value than that ascribed to many Americans whose names are hardly known outside of their own cities.
 Whence came the prestige that he enjoyed-the practical influence which he exercised? Certainly not from the brute force of only twelve mil lions. The answer is, of course, that it came from his possessing import ant family connections in other coun- tries, secure and long-recognized financial position in England, and great native ability.
 And if the proper relative value could be ascribed to the separate ele- ments of his reputation and influence it probably would be found that na- tive ability was, after all, the most important. Mere money never made a great financier or great anything. All it can make by itself is multi millionaire.-Ex

Death and Birth Rates.

The vital statistics for the first half of 1914-that is before the war be. gan-show that there was a notably greater number of deaths than births in France The net diminution in the French population during that six months was about 17,O00, while the population of Germany increased nearly 500,000. Germany's birth rate is much lower than it was, but it is still far ahead of that of France France at the present moment rep resents the highest point of the move ment for the reduction of births that has been making itself felt all over the world during the last generation. This is beyond all doubt the most inn portant factor in present-day civiliz- ation. The decrease in population in France may seem startling to some, but it must not be forgotten that in New York state, in any town where there is not considerable foreign population. the death rate at the present time is higher than the birth rate. The native American as such is dying out. Here is the folk prob. lem of the future. It has been cal culated that in the year 2000 the Un- tied States will. according to pres. ent vital statistics. be occupied al. most exclusively by the descendants of Central and Southern Europeans. The question is: What are we go ing to do about it?? France is asking that question very insistently just now.-New York Herald.

PETROGRAD, May 22.-The Ger mans are active along the Pilica and Vistula rivers and are striving again to reach Warsaw.
