If You Want Peaches You
Will Have to Go for Them

The women of Salem who want to
put up peaches this year will have to
get hustle on, or get left. There is
practically failure of the crop over the
entire coast, and consequently the de-
mand is something fierce. Portland is
after every orchardist in the state who
owns peach tree to get his crop, and
the supply formerly depended on from
The Dalles and Yakima country are not

what she has in this line to San Fran

The weather here is ripening the crop
so fast there is considerable loss. Talk

the biggest growers of peaches in the
county this morning, he said: "You
can tell the good housewives of Salem
that if they want peaches to put up this
year they. will have to 60 to the Or
chards FOR them. With the present hot
spell it is also necessary that they go
quickly, for the crop is going rapidly
and will soon be gone. Mr.. McMahon
says there will be very few peaches
brought to the city for the reason that
buyers are at the orchards grabbing
all the fruit as fast as it comes from

Greeks Are Retiring.

London, Aug. "a. - Greek troops
around the ancient city of Seres are
evacuating their positions and retiring
southwark under orders from the Greek
government, said an Athens dispatch
this afternoon.
The retirement was ordered after
Greek positions had been heavily bonn
barded by the Bulgarians for several
hours.
The Greek commander in the Seres
region, who prepared for determined
resistance, as the Bulgarians approach
ed the city, was apparently overruled
by his superiors at the capital.
A delayed official statement from the
Bulgarian war office this afternoon
claimed further progress in the fighting
near Seres and declared the allies were
retreating along the right bank of the
Struma. The German war office, how
ever, admitted that on the allies left
wing the Serbians have checked the
Bulgarian advance by obstinate resist
ance. An official statement from the
French war office reported the Serb
ians pushing back the Bulgarians at
some points.
The Balkan operations again eclipsed
in interest news from other war thea
tres today. There was deadlock in the
fighting on the eastern and western
fronts.

German Catholics
Would Defeat Wilson

New York, Aug. 23. - President
Wilson was criticised tonight in res
olution passed at the closing session
here of the German-Roman Catholic
Central Verein for having "preferred
charges" in his message to congress
"against part of our citizenship, who
heretofore enjoyed the proud distinc-
tion of unquestioned loyalty and pa
triotism. Action on the resolution
was taken only after there had been
heated debate on the question of
the propriety of religious organiza-
tion entering into politics. - The reso.
luton, presented by a committee head
ed by joseph Matt, of st. Paul. Mimi,
was as follows:
without precedent in the history of
our country we find the president OF
the United States publicly-in his of
ficial message - preferring charges
against part of our citizenship who
heretofore enjoyed the proud distine-
tion of unquestioned loyalty and patri.
otism.
"We regret this utterance and de-
plore its effects, especially in view of
its general character without substan-
tiating facts, as such utterances com.
ing from such high sources are calcu.
lated to foster unfounded suspicion
and mistrust of large element of our
American people and imperil their con.
summation of program of social eff.
ficiency in our country"
Alphonse G. Koelble, president of
the United German societies of America.
in a speech urging the passage of the
resolution, declared:
" We have been accused of being false
to the flag, the flag for which we bled
and died. Although 1 play as safe as
any one, am in favor of turning
against this infamous attack on our
character"
Joseph Frey, president of the Central
Verein, objected to the resolution on
the ground that it would be construed
as an attack on the candidacy of the

NOTED SUFFRAG|STS
RESIGNS POSITION
Chairman Of Party in Wash
ington Quits Because of
Hughes Endorsement

Seattle, Wash, Aug. 24-Mrs. Frances
C. Axtell, of Bellingham, former mem
ber of the state legislature, today re-
signed as chairman of the congressional
union for the state of Washington, now
known as the women's party.
This action was taken by Mrs. AXtell
as a protest against the women's party
endorsement of Charles E. Hughes.
Mrs. AXtell, who is progressive and
the candidate of the party for congress
in her district, declares herself for
President Wilson.
"Neither party has stated speci'fical-
ly declaration in favor of the Susan
b. Anthony amendment, " said Mrs. AK
tell today. "We of the west, knowing
that such amendment must depend upon
twp-third vote of new congress,
regardless of Mr.. Hughes belated decla-
ration for it, advised taking no action
regarding presidential candidates and
devoting ourselves to the coming con-
gress.
"In this view we were not supported
by the national officials who really
have no understanding of western con-
dltl0nS.
"Since, to comply with their request
would mean an effort to return all of
the reactionaries to power and the
western states would run the risk of
losing the ground for which progress
sives have fought, for the last 20 years,
and as suffrage would gain nothing by
so doing, because reactionaries in both
parties are always opposed to woman
suffrage; and since all that would be
necessary for republicans to do would
be to say they stood by the party plat
form and not by Mr.. Hughes state
ment; and since prohibition and woman
suffrage have been settled in this state
on q perfectly non-partisan basis and
in each of the 12 suffrage states there
has been an adherence to this standard,
find that | must resign this office. -
