spoQsible for the many improvements
made and the advantages gained.
Active experiments are constantly
being made for the betterment Of the
service. For many years tremen-
dous expense has been the labelling
of the immense quantity Of mail bags
in use. The form OF label used in
the past and still used by clerks over
the country Is the doubling and re-
folding of what is known as q FAC
ing slip" The preparation Of these
labels by the thousands has been and
is an expensive proposition, yet there
appears to have been no effort on the
part of previous administrations to
progress from the old method. I'm
der present direction perforated
label in sheets and runs has been de-
signed which is practically ready for
use when furnished to employees
Every postal clerk in the country and
thousands OF post Office employees
will find this new method Of great
advantage and it will result in q
large economy in the service.
There have also been some other
notable improvements made, viz:
the substitution OF steel where brast
was formerly used, at q very con-
siderable lessening Of expense; de-
vice for fastening foreign mail
pouches, doing away with the old
fashioned method of string and seal;
scheme for saving twine by means
OF q simple holder which permits
free and easy use without waste, and
flexible stamp design, for which
the contract price was 81 cents. but
which will now be made ut q cost o.
s cents. A mechanical pickup OF
facing table for use in facing and
stacking letters in first-class Offices
has also been developed and will soon
lbe perfected. This device Is consid
cred superior to those now In use
and costs less than one-third % much
to manufacture. Those It present II
use cost approximately 1900.

CROSS COUNTRY RUN
SCHEDULED FRIDAY


AS the second annual Willamette in
terclass cross country run is announced
for Friday afternoon at o'clock, UNI
usual activity has marked the univer-
sity fleet runners of the cinder path
the last few days. Added incentive to
put up a hard race is the Hauser Bros.
silver trophy cup which is to be'award-
ed to the winning team. As the men
have been practicing regularly all fall
there is no doubt that the run promises
to be full of thrills.
According to the rules laid down this
year by Coach RI. Mathews the course
will be on the Sweetland athletic field
track instead of on the city streets as
that of last year. As the willamette
track is approximately a quarter mile
thoroughfare, the mile and half race
will necessitate six laps being run to
establish the winning individual. Each
class is to enter five men and the team
having the lowest score will be adudged
the winner. Thus even though one class
should happen to win one first place but
lose out in several following it prob
ably would lose in the added amassing
of points. Coach Mathews is to be of
ficial starter. Earl Flegel, Grover
Gates and Frank Grosvenor are to be
judges of the course.
OF the men entered Refine Jackson of

the sophomores bids fair to duplicate
his first place of last year which he
made in the remarkable time of 81 min
utes for the 3.6 mile course. jackson
was new at the track game last year
and with the consistent training OF the
year seems to have the makines of a
stellar sprint artist this season.
Associated with him in the upholding
of sophomore class honor will be Law
son, Morse, Kelly, Esteb, Stewart, Marn
and Ohlin.
In the freshman celebrity ranks who
will be who is difficult to predict. How
ever as the cross country running hes
been strict requirement by faculty
rule this year many representatives Of
1920 cOlors will probably appear for az
ton. OF the men already out Cusp,
Taylor, Waltz, Knutson, Raueh and
Craven seem to be the best eligibiii-
ties.
Owing to the small enrolment i'll M
per classes it is hardly possible that
either the junior or senior classes viii
enter a team. Therefore, it will prob
ably be close race between the lower
classes.

MARIONrS CORN SHOW
OPENED This MORNING
Despite UnfayOrable Year Ex-
hibitS Are Of Very High
Grade

The Third Annual Marion county
corn show is now open for the public
at the Derby huilding. Court and
High streets. Notwithstanding the
very late and mfavoFable year for
corn, the exhibits are if anything of a
higher grade than those of the two
former corn shows.
F. W. RAIDER of Seattle, and ]. f.
Larson of Corvallis, are busy today
judging corn. The potato exhibits are
being JUDGED by Fred E. Mangis and
f. E. Faville of spokane.
Lew Smith. assistant agriculturist of
the o. W. Il. 4 y. is attending the
show, studying the exhibits. He will
remain here until Saturday to buy seed
corn for the O. w. r. Il N.
Under the direction of Professor G.
R. Hyslop, the o. \. G.. class in farm
crops are going over the exhibits, MAX
ing their scorings, which will later be
compared with the awards of the ex-
perts. In the class attending the show
are Walter 5. Carpenter, Ashland; C..
o. Lundgren, Corvallis; c, G. Calkins,
Airlie; q. C. Hawkins, Oklahoma; A.
Galbraith, London, England; Glen
Stone, Junction City; A. R. Reber,

afternoon the young men will visit the
flax plant at the penitentiary.

Expert Says There Is
No Hope For Peace
By j. w. T. Mason.

Omitted Press Staff CorreSpondentl \
New York Dec. 13.-Germany' pro-
posals for peace are made at time
when her armies haNe taken the Of
tenSiVe in the newest battle area and
when the western front has reached an
other deadlock.
The peace that Germany now wants
is one with Teutonic troops occupying
enemy territory on practically every
front.
The war is yet far from having
gone to the knockout that David
Lloyd-George demanded in his United
Press interview a short time before he
became the British premier. On the
contrary, Germany S position now is
not that of "a beaten antagonist. The
Germans occupy at the present mo-
ment probably the highest position
they will reach, as far as practical
purposes are concerned, no matter how
long the war continues.
They have a clesr road to what they
regard as the center of their future
colonial empire, in Asia Minor, and
they are holding in check every move
ment to break through the German de-
fenses.
1t would be, therefore, greatly to
Germany's advantage if a peace could
be secured on this basis.
Nevertheless Gemany's losses in
man power are becoming constantly
much greater than the losses of any
one of her principal antagonists. At
the same time, the British GOVERN
eminent has just undergone recon-
-struction for the purpose of carrying
the war to more bitter conclusion;
and France, too, is evolving Il scheme
for greater efficiency. Under these
conditions, while Germany is not over
thrown, the German militarists may
well feel that the future developments
of the war cannot hold out for Ger
many any better prospect than the
ceaseless killing of proportionatcly
more Germans than Frenchmen or
Englishmen.
Germany must make large conces-
sions to secure peace at present-far
larger than are indicated by the war
boundaries ON the map. But, what
ever Germany proposes as a basis for
peace, in her first declaration, prob
ably viii not be her final word. The
most important fact of Germany's new
attitude doubtless will be the definite
statement of tentative peace terms,
which later may be taken as a starting
point for future elaboration and a pos
sible settlement.
