WE TREAT ALL ALIKE

" reason for Germany to
reproach the United
States for selling war supplies
to the allies. Anyone with half
an eye can see that the only
reason Germany does complain
IS that her foes have control of
the seas and are in position to
protect their commerce while
Germany is not.
As a matter Of fact Germany
has been purchasing both war
supplies and foodstuffs in this
country and would be purchas-
ing more if such supplies could
be gotten to Germany.
Says the st. Louis Post-Dis-
/ patch:
Il is significant that Just as the
German government assumes respon-
I sibility for Ambassador Won Bern
storfTs impertinent criticism OF Am
erican neutrality in permitting the
sole Of war munitions 70 the allies
/ the news comes that a carload OF
( American machine guns destined for
I Germany we're confiscated in Switz-
erland.
The incident serves to emphasize
the lack o. principle in the German
demand that the United States lay an
( embargo on arms and ammunition. It
Is based solely on the advantage the
I embargo would give Germany in this
I war. No sane person doubts that If
Germany needed arms and amuni-
ton and could get them from the
United States there would be no
I question raised by the Germans as
to the legality and propriety and
/ sound principle OF trade between BEL
I ligerents and neutrals in war muni-
tons. We have heard Of no remorse
on the part Of German statesmen o.
German gun and powder makers on
account Of the vast stores Of muni-
tions sold to belligerents by Germany
| during a number Of wars. Neither
the German government nor the Ger
man manufacturers have confessed
that they were responsible through
trade in arms either for these wars
or their prolongation
AS the East Oregonian has
expressed before the United
States is in the position of a
merchant who sells goods on
an impartial basis to his pat
rons, but does not guarantee
delivery. 1t is up to the pur-
chasing nation to see that their
supplies reach home. If
through the fortunes Of war
the Germans are unable to ship
their supplies while the allies
are able to do so the situation
is something for which the
United States is not respon-
sible.
The fact our people are as
ready to sell supplies to Ger
many as to anyone else shows
our fairness and neutrality. III
we should arbitrarily refuse to
sell to the allies even though |
they have the money to pur-
chase and the ships TO take |
their goods home and had no !
to offer save that the |
allies were getting the better
Of Germany we would be TAX
ing sides in the war. We
would be discriminating out
right against one side in favor
of the other and would not be
neutral at all.

Joe Hayes can testify it is a
fine thing for a man to have a
dollar in his pocket.
Very soon we will have the
pleasure Of a floral show; 1t
will be better than war news.

00GERMANS AND 100
Batteries OF ARTILLERY.
MOVE AGAINST RUSSIANS

Petrograd, Feb. 5, via London,
1926 P. M.-Not since the battles
around Bodz, in Russian Poland in the
early part of December, have the Ger
mans delivered such vicious attacks as
those of yesterday when they attempted
to break through the Russian line near
Boriimow.. Probably never before in
the eastern arena of the war have they
concentrated such force upon single
point.
In distance of six miles, between
IHumin and Borjimow, the Germans
threw 10000 infantrymen, together
with heavy forces of cavalry, the whole
supported by 100 batteries of artillery.
comprising in all no less than 600 guns.
1t is estimated that in this snort line
there were nearly 10000 men to the
mile, coming ON in ten or twelve lines
like the waves of the sea.

LYNCH TELLS OF LAND DEAL
Says City Had Another Site in Mind
When He Purchased Uptown Plot

Highway Commissioner Lynch smiled
ttGs morning when a newspaper story
was read to him, the purport of which
was that he had been one of the plur-
ehasers of a plot of land which the
new spaper suggested the city desired
as a site for the proposed municipal
asphalt plant.
The land in question is plot on the
scuth side of Maclay street between
the canal and the Pennsylvania Rail
road, and Lynch declared that it was
not offered as a site for the asphalt
plant, and that in its present shape 1T
is not fit for that purpose. He described
it as sink hole.' Lynch added that
the deal for the ground,-a six-aere
tract which, he said has an assessed val
uation of 1,O00,-was closed by
City Engineer NJ. B. Cowden when 1t
was offered for $1,000.
81 took half of it at Mr.. Cowden 8
request, - said the Commissioner. "That
was before the city decided not to take
the $4,000 plot at Cameron and Kit
tatinny streets as the site for the as
phalt plant. -
The plan to buy the Cameron street
plot was abandoned because merchants
in that locality objected to putting the
asphalt repair plant there. 1t is likely
that the asphalt plant will be built ON
Shaonis street, on piece of ground
that can be bought for $500, Lynch
said. Lynch added that the uptown
plot was bought as speculative invest
ment.

MAY DON MANS CLOTHES
Needy Woman Talks of Trying That
Plan to Obtain Fair Wage"
For Her Work

How widowed mother was con-
verted to Woman Suffrage principles
and feels that she has no alternative
but to don mans clothes in order 70
get fair wage" for her work, was
brought to light through a complaint
lodged by her to-day with the Dauphin
County Commissioners, which is in eff.
feet that the Directors of the Poor
have refused her requests for aid.
The woman sent several letters to
the county authorities, the Directors of
the Poor this morning said, and they
were the basis of an inquiry conducted
by the Poor Directors and their social
worker, as a result of which, it is held
that Blair county is liable for the sup
port of the mother and her three chill
dren. Arrangements now are being
made for having the quartet sent to Al
toona.
In the most recent letter received
from the woman, whose name the coun
ty authorities do not divulge, the moth
er swears allegiance TO Mrs. Pankhurst,
the militant suffragette leader of Lon
don, and tells a pitiful story, saying
that she now is i'll and that her children
are without shoes to wear to school.
When the County Commissioners refer
red the woman s complaint to the Poor
Board, the latter gave out this state
ment:
"This woman ls a resident of Al
toona, Blair county, and is not legally
entitled to aid from this county. She
has been in-this county since June 30
and negotiations now are under way to
have her removed to her home town.

FIRE EATERS
The Trick of Breathing Flames and
Sparks From the Mouth

The first known fire breather was a
syrian slave named Eunus, a leader in
the Servile wa in Sicily. 1870 B. C. He
pretended to have immediate communi
cation with the gods. When desirous
of inspiring his followers with courage
he breathed flames and sparks from his
mouth.
In Norder to accomplish this feat Eu-
nus pierced a nutshell at both ends
and having filled it with some burning
substance, he put it in his mouth and
breathed through it. The same trick
is performed to-day in a more ap
proved mannei. The performer rolls
some fax or hemp into a ball about the
size of walnut, which he lets burn
until it is nearly consumed. Then he
rolls around it more fax while it is still
burning. BY this means the fire is
retained in the ball for long time.
He slips this ball into his mouth unper-
ceived and breathes through it. His
breath -revives the fire, and he sustains
no injury so long as he inhalesi only
through his nostrils.
Various theories have been advanced
to- account for other feats of this sort
performed by, the ancents. An old
ordeal was the holding of redhot iron
by the accused, who was not burned if
he were innocent Probably some pro-
tective paste was used on the hands.
The peculiar property of mineral salts.
such as alum, in protecting articles of
dress from fire has long been known.
An old Mianese devised q costume con-
ssting of cloth covering for the body
which had been STEPPED in alum. A
metallic dress of wire gauze was added
to this, and thus protected man might
walk on hot iron.
