She might relingush her claim in consideration
of the restoration of her colonies. But possess

be able to hold until the end of the war, will be

that Belgium will be restored as an independent

taken the Poles could not favor a return to Russ

and Lorraine are partly in the hands of he French
and while Germany would fight any proposition
which would mean loss of her former domains,
there is no doubt that the sympathy of the major
ity of the provinces favor France, and therefore
they could be restored to that country.
The tributes paid to the bravery of the Russ
ian troops, who have conducted mastery re-
treat in god order i'm the face of a terrible on
slaugght of the enemy are deserving. Yet there
is an element of the amusing is the comments
from London based on opinions of military cri-
ties. They are continually pointing out how the
Teutons have practically failed i'm their great
object of crushing the Russian armies. While
these comments are given prominent mention
there published at the same time an official
review of the campaign against the Russians for
the four months beginning May 2, in which it is
claimed, i'm what are stated to be conservative
figures, that the Russians lost during this period
100000 men, 100000 being the total of killed
anr wounded, and the balance of over million,
taken prisoners. This was practically the mum
of trops directly engaged in front of the German
armies at the beginning of the campaign. The
Russians undoubtedly have pretty big army
left, made up of rcinforcemcnts aand new trops.
But, if the German official figures are anywhere
near accurate the rejoicing that Germany has
failed to attain its main object sounds like whist
ling in graveyard.

TERMS OF PEACE.

Terms of peace are i'm the air. While there Is
little lkchod of any definite movement taking
place ut this time il is the hope of every human
being who is not blood thirsty villain that the
time is not very far distant when the warning
nations may be brought To their senses enough to
consider II proposal looking to the termination
of the war.
When that time arrives the United States is
sure to take prominent part in the negotiations
preliminary to the actual settlement of the issues
raised by the war. discussion of the terms
upon which peace is possible is therefore very
appropriate topic for consideration by the Amer
elan people.
One of the principles contended for by the
socialists of Germany strikes ms as sound one,
1t is tcr contention that no territory should be
annexed to any nation as result of the war I'M
less Il ma iority of the people IN the territory
affected are favorable tn the annexation. This,
it is argued, vii make the recurrence of future
wars less likely. This contention should not be

Pile of the right of the governed to have a voice IN

1t will be difficult to apply this principle when
representatives of the belligerents meet to draft
a treaty. If they should gather now Germany
would contend that she is victor and demand
a lions share of territory. The question of Bel

OREGON AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE.

The o. A. G. situated at Corvallis is an insti-

GOOD RELATIONS BETWEEN

Vienna Says Recall of Dumba Will
Have No Effect,

Vienna, Sept. Is, by Courier to
Berlin and Thence to London, Sept.
%, 1920 q. m.-The recall of DR..
Constantin Theodor Dumba, Austro-
Hungarian ambassador to the United
States. cannot have any possible ef-
feet on the existing good relations be-
tween Austria and the United States
according to assurance given to The
Associated Press authoritativeIy by a
high official speaking for the govern
ment.
Thus for no report of any nature has
been received from DR.. Dumba and il
is assumed here that because of the
difficulties of communication he will
wait until he can make a report IN
person. Until such report is vail
able the government has no informa-
ton concerning the affair further than
what has appeared in the newspapers
it is stated.eand feels compelled to ex-
ercise reticence. Despite this, how
ever. the official referred to explain
ed the governments attitude as fol-
lows:
THE Dumba incident cannot have
any influence whatever on the good
relations of the two nations. The wish
expressed in the-American note that
the friendly and cordial relations may
remain unchanged is shared to the
fullest degree by the Austrian gov
ernment.
'The American government un-
doubtedly considered itself in good
faith bound to request the ambassa-
doris recall. Cause of recall of am
bassadors have often occurred in
peace times without any especial i'm
portance being ascrihed to them, and
the Dumba case should also be con-
sidered from the same standpoint"
