Charles Adams, German who is
here to visit the Round-up has re-
ceived a letter from mis- sister in Ger
many telling of the war at present.
The letter is as follows.
REICHESHEIM, May 10. 1910.
Dear Brother.-Arter a long time
l was believing that my letter didn t
find You at all, The mail carrier gave
me Your letter this morning and l
tell You / was happy tor it is by
gosh difficult thing 10 write and re-
leiye a letter like that in a time like
this. First you ask me how it
looks now after Germany has been
two years in the war. First | have
to tell you our good parents are dy-
ing, our Lord took botn in his keep
ing. The only thing | blame is the
war The very truth / never can
write you because such letter would
never pass the lines and lying is a
thing do not want 10 do. Maybe
you can find what YOU want TO know
between the lines. q its very bad
thing, the hunger and sickness no one
can picture what II is. War with all
its pain and hunger. Night before
last We had very bad time, We re-
ceived visit from six aeroplanes OF
the allies After that the mayor told
us there were four English and two
Of the French in the bunch. The
mayor directed that no lights be
burned and window shades were plac-
ed over all lights and there was no
appearance of a town. But the en-
emy found us anyway against all
measures of preparedness. 1t was
a terrible nerve killing noise. | re-
member that big war in 1871 as We
were leaving st. Prevent, Lorraigne,
but that was only an incident COM
pared with this Bombs and air
files iust rained and the quickest
thing was to hasten to the cellar but
this was small protection. They
came so fast and thick you couldn't
count them at all, Crying and howl

shouting indicated that the bombs
had found their target and many in

of old men that could not walk any

were badly wounded, most of them
old women. The resaon why so
many women were killed is because
the men are all at the front in de-
fense of their country. Four places
have taken fire from the raid and it
has been difficult to keep the blaze
under control, Fortunately no bomb

PORTLAND, Ore, Aug, It.
Charles f. Hughes, before an audi
ence in the Ice Rink, here last night
assailed the democratic party for its
policy toward the Philippines
we cannot afford in this country
to lose sight Of our national obliga
TONS Mr. Hughes said. "Our friends
on the other side were almost ready to
say that we should abandon the Phil
ippines. That was a matter of ma
tiona honor. We assumed obliga-
tions there which We are bound to
discharge.
1T is not so much a matter Of self
interest. I do not care so much
with respect to the argument of self
interest. But when this nation un-
dertakes before the world a responsi-
blity, it must discharke it,
And we ought not to consider the
suggestion of scuttling out Of the
Philippines to leave them in the pre-
dlcament which you know perfectly
well without my describing it.
The nominee reiterated his argu-
ments for a protective tariff for COM
mercial preparation for the competi-
tion with Europe after the war, for
reasonable, adequate preparedness
and repeated his declaration that the
democratic party was opposed to ma
tional progress.
Why, if | was d member of that
party-and l speak with all good ma
ture, because we are threshing things
cut here now-and looked through
the platforms of the past, l should
feel that | was going through a eem-
etery richly embellished with monu7
ments"
Mr. Hughes referred to the number
or unemployed in 1914 due largely,
he said to the Underwood tariff
