The German-American Alliance.

All that the German-American ALI
ance says about Russian intrigue and
English Commercial jealousy and
French desire for revenge is undoubt;.
eddy true, but the fact remains thai
the members of the Alliance, who arr
American citizens oWes allegiance Il
America first andzshoH1d not violently
oppose the President, OF, the United
States III his diplomatic controver.
les with Germany and other foreign
countries. s... 4
We can not believe that this Alliance
which is openly disloyal to America
represents the wishes and desires OF
any considerable number OF German
American citizens. The Germans, who
have become citizens of this country
and their child hold high rank in the
country's citizenship. This country
is their home and destined to become
the home Of their offspring, and the
protection Of the rights of thts~country
is the protection Of their rights. -, 1t
Is otherwise with the citizens of Ger
many, who come here to promote a
propaganda for the advancement Of
German interests. This is a free
country and so long as it permits such
apropaganda to work here, it has a
right to work, and a right to snbsidize
every newspaper, that it can induce to
take sides against the United States:
but no American president could have
done less than President Wilson has
done in resisting it's demands.
This country could not permit the
destruction OF American lives and
property on the high seas to go un-
noticed. any more than it could con-
done the acts of highway robbers with
in its borders.
Neither could this country disregard
the rights of beliggerant nations with
out giving the nations injured by such
disregard just cause for war against
US. '.f &c.,. .sr
President Wilson has done no more
than to insist upon the maintenance
Of American rights upon the ocean
highways of the world. and upon a
strict observance Of the requirements
of neutral nation. BY so doing he
has kept the United States out Of this
terrible European conflict and has Sc
cured pledges from the warning ma
lions that the rights Of American
travelling on the high seas will be duly
regarded. !
It will be an evil day for this coun-
try when it's presidents can be defeat
ed for reelection because they have
insisted upon due observance Of the
rights of American citizens. while
travelling on the oceans of the world
and because they have refused to mix
in the quarrels of the nations of the
old world.
It is rank disloyalty for any politi-
cal party in the United states to so
shape it's campaigns as to profit by
the work Of organizations that are
distinctly hostile to our country's in
terests. Advantages gained by such
disloyalty will recoil upon those who
seek to garner them. They will be
like unto Cadmus who sowed the drag
on's teeth.

MISS LOUISE FIELD
 IGNORED ON BIRTH
 DAY ANNIVERSARY.

One of the prettiest and most orig ina1 affairs of the season was thepro- gressive dinner party given last even ing by-Captain and Mrs. W. c. Dibb- rell and Miss A Mary Mitchell. in hon or of Miss Louise Field on the occas- ion of her birthday. anniversary.
 The guests were received at the Dibrell home which was most attractiv- ely decorated with Christmas wreaths potted plants and cut flowers, and where the first three courses of the dinner were served at a very daintily appointed table around which eleven were seated. At the end of the first course a handkerchief shower was giy- en the honor guest. Accompanying each "mouchoir" an original verse was written by the donor and read by Miss Field to the great amusement of the company.
 Following the third course of the din- ner, until after eight o'clock, those pre- sent enjoyed an impromptu musical program of late songs, accompanied by the Ukulele. then the company pro eeeded down to the U. S. Lighthouse ship KuKui where Captain Dibrell was host at the last course of the dinner.
 The dining saloon of the steamer was q pretty sight, and everything from the big birthday cake with it's lighted cand- les to the least detail was perfect in arrangement. After several hours spent on board the guests left having thoroughly enjoyed most charming evening, while Miss Field for whom it was planned as surprise was real ly surprised for sure. not having had even faint suspicion of the coming event.
 Those present were Mrs. Chas Hawksworth, the Misses Danford, Wy brant, Buor, Derrick, Louise Field, Ey adna Field, Mary Smith. Mary Mitch ell and Captain and Mrs. Dibrell.

Dean Alden Tells Of
M exiCO and Mexicans

The Pilgrims club of the First Con-
gregational church were given an in.
teresting address last evening by Dean
Alden of Willamette university. Mr..
Alden spoke on "0w Spanish American
Neighbor" and in telling of the con
ditions of Mexico, told of not what he
had read, but of what he had actually
seen during his extensive travels in
that troubled country.
Mr.. Alden saw in his travels what
the average reader cannot realize, and
that is the abject poverty among the
poorer classes and the general lack of
education. Also the fact that more
than one-half of the people are of In
dian blood, uneducated, unframed and
practically at tae mercy of the land
owners and upper class.
The average Mexican citizen does
not come up to anything in the line of
the American standard, according to
Mr.. Alden and while there is great
possibilities for the country, these win
not be realized until the country is
properly governed.
An extra attraction for the club
was the hypnotic demonstrations of f.
Cooke Patton, who unlike others famous
in the mystic art, did not carry his
troupe with him, but selected his sub
iects from those Pilgrims who happened
to be present. Albert Gille added to
the entertainment of the evening, sing
ing two solos.
