THE GLORY OF WAR

~ HERE is news to the eff
W feet that France is in ur-
gent need of agricultur-
al implements and must de-
pend upon the United States
for a supply. What they want
is implements for use by wom-
en- and children, the men being
all at the front.
1t is in the invaded sections
of northern France that these
implements are most needed.
This fact is emphasized in a
recent communication from the
American Relief Clearing
House in Paris which keeps
closely in touch with the con-
ditions and needs in France
through the medium of per-
sonal investigation. This com.
munication, in part, is as fol-

BRANDEIS ONE OF THE
NEW SCHOOL

n N the appointment of Louis
D. Brandeis to the vacan-
cy on the supreme court
President Wilson took long
step towards the liberalization
of the high tribunal and at the
same time he surprised some
people who were cocksure he
was going to appoint a south
ern democrat to the place.
Brandeis is a resident of
Massachusetts, and he is not
known as either a democrat or
a republican but as an expon-
ent of doctrines the standpat-
ters generally call socialistic.
He is one of the clearest think
ers in the country and severa!

of the evils of trust formation
activities such as this country
witnessed some years ago and

tries and territories which they
invaded, carried away with
them every piece Of metal, TAX
ing even the iron shares"
The fact is then stressed
that it is the women and chill
dren upon whom the labor Of
tilling the soil has fallen, and
that they must be equipped with
tools. An appeal is made for
funds with which to purchase
and supply them the following
agricultural implements:
so ploughs, so harrows, so
disc ploughs, so weeders, 25.
seeding machines, 25 1-horse
reapers, 25 horse rakes, 10 2
wheel farm wagons, 25 ted
ders, 200 chuIns, 200 separa-
tors, 1000 shovels, 1000
spades, 1000 ScytheS, 1,000
syckles, 100 root cutters, 100
WinnowerS.
What a beautiful picture of
the glory of war! A land laid
destitute, the men being con-
verted into cripples or corpses,
the women working the fields
and forced to beg for help in
order to obtain the implements
with which to make oxen of
themselves.

FROM THE PEOPLE
THOSE CALIFORNIA ROADS.

sherman Cal, Jan. "a, 1915.
Editor East Oregonian n-After
reading an issue in your paper re-
garding the Los Angeles county floods
wish TO criticize that portion of the
statement regarding the Wolshire
boulevard being washed out. There is
no doubt in my mind but what you
have published the news Just as it
was given to you. Nevertheless it is an
error
Just two days ago l drove over
every foot of this boulevard from the
heart Of the city Of Los Angeles to
the sea, and there is not one foot of
it washed out What l mean to say
is the macadam part of the boule
ward, but in many places off of the
macadam along side it is washed out
very deep and wide, In some places
as much as 20 feet deep. | wish to
say further regarding the statement
as to the southern California good
roads being destroyed 1 have travel7
ed over a great deal Of the country
where the flood waters dealt its
worst blow, and l found no part of
the boulevard gone except where the
bridges are washed out Now I will
try to explain the meaning to the
roads being washed out In this
country the average highways are so
feet wide with a macadam average Of
% feet wide in center 1t is that por-
tion of the highway from the maca-
dam edge to the outer highway line
which is so badly washed away.
wish to make this statement in
the most friendly manner toward the
East Oregonian, and if any Of the
Pendleton people wish to come this
way don't stand back on account of
the roads being gone for they are all
here. As you know this state has not
yet been entered on the map as dry
one it takes careful driving among
the wet. But we are greatly in hopes
after the fall election she will plac-
ed on the dry may by an indisput-
able majority.
If had the time would write YOU
an item on the construction of oil
macadam road which I may do later
beg to remain YOURS in most
friendly way. A. T. MATTHEW'S.

The success or the failure OF the

Russia is dependent on the outside
world for her military supplies, Her
Baltic ports are closed by the Ger

only be reached through the Dardan-

force that passage, supplies through

And last winter the Galician campaign

its defeat became nearly a disaster
The failure Of the Russian army toI
hold the territory it won was the di-
rect result of the failure of the iceI

When Russia realized the allies
could not succeed at Dardanelles. she
placed immense orders for rails and
rolling stock in this country; but the
slide in our own Panama canal held
the boats carrying the equipment in
the Atlantic and forced them to
choose between making the long trip
around Africa or Drawing the sub
marines in the Mediterranean. The
delay allowed the early Siberian win

service to Europe is still inadequate,
