Portland, Ore, May 29.-Say
goodbye TO five cent soap.
Portland wholesalers were
confidentially advised today by
soap manufacturers that further
advances in the price of whole
salers would force off the mar
ket all brands of five cent soap,
both toilet and laundry. The
high price of fats is blamed for
the advance in the cost of keep

WITH A GRAIN OF SALT

The stories of German intrigue in
Mexico have to be drawn with rather
bold lines now to attract attention.
Nevertheless there are contradictory
elements in these stories that may
admonish US to wait for confirmation
before getting unduly excited. The
FL Paso date line is itself an inter-
rogation point.
We are told that German brains
are directing and German treasure
financing the Carranza government.
Almost in the same breath we learn
that 0bregon, Diaz, and Villa have
combined against Carranza, and that
the new revolution is inspired and
financed by Germany. Then comes
the news that Villa has put to death
two German citizens captured by>
him, but we are warned that this
story comes from German sources,
and is probably a blind.
1t is always a mistake to under
estimate ones adversary. 1t is
equally an error to ascribe to him
Euperhuman genius and cunning.
German diplomacy has not been so
uniformly errorless and successful in
this war as to persuade one it has
suddenly assumed Machiavellian
ability in Mexico. As to President
elect Carranza, Ambassador Fletcher
doubtless knows all that is worth
knowing, and has informed this. Gov
ernment. It is sometimes better to
know few things than a great many
that are not so.
- alliance between Obregon and
The Washington times., 1917-03-22

Villa is unthinkable to those who are
in the slightest degree familiar with
the revolutionary history of Mexico.
And. poor Felix Diaz, always the
stupid tool of others, has a small
press agency that drags his name
into print whenever there is any
chance of putting him again before
the public. Diaz had his chance
when Madero was overthrown and
lost it forever.
Nor can we easily understand how
German intrigue is trying at the
same time to strengthen Carranza
for war against the United States
and to weaken him by financing a
revolution against him with Obregon
at its head. One story may be true,
but the two stories are contradictory
and each throws suspicion upon the
other. Mexican pabulum these days
should be, taken with a grain. a salt.
The Washington times., 1917-03-22
HAM AND VAN

After struggling with polysyllabic
and hyphenated war-words these
many moons, how refreshing it is to
learn that the French have captured
Ham and the Russians have occupied
Van. Ham is a village on the
French front on line with
Bapaume and Peronne, Just cap
tured' by the British advance. 1t
forms the apex of a triangle, the
base of which would be line drawn
through st. Quentin and La Fere,
towns that became famous in the
German advance, and will doubtless
soon be named in the German retire
ment. 1t is hoped that the French
will provision themselves anew with
the capture of Ham.
Van. on the other hand, is a town
in Armenia, on the eastern shore of
Lake Van. It was held by a garri-
son Of Armenians against Turkish
attacks, a year or so ago, until its
capture by the Russians was report
cd. 1t is significant of the slow
travelling of news from this region
that its capture by the Turks was
never reported until its recapture by
the forces under the grand duke
was made known few days ago. 1t
indicates renewed activity in this
region with the opening of spring.
Van is northeast of Bagdad. so the
Russians are that much nearer the
goal of Constantinople. Across Lake
Van and not far distant from its
western shore lies Mush, SO the Rus
SLAMS also are likely to have pro-
visions supplied when it is captured.
1t is hoped that the army of the
grand duke will soon leave its Van
behind it while it presses forward
in the van of the British troops now
VIGOROUSLY ascending the Tigris
valley.

GREAT BRIDGE BUILDERS

Well begun is half done, but the
other half holds plenty of possibili-
ties of failure, and honor goes with
its final accomplishment. John A.
Roebling undertook the contract TO
build the Brooklyn bridge. He died
in the year of its beginning and his
four sons carried the work forward
to completion. One Of these, Ferdi-
nand, has Just died.
On this member of the firm rested
the task of organizing the business
to meet the changing needs of the
time. When the old. bridge was
built the cars were taken across by
cable. At that time the uses of
electricity in commerce were scarcely
dreamed. Mr.. Roebling early fore
saw them and made his plans accord
ingiy.
Such firms, whether they be COM
tosed of members of one family or
not, are among the great assets of
ration. in war or in peace. Their
constructive services, however well
they be rewarded in commercial
profit, have in them certain elements
Of value not to be measured in

in this mornings Washington Post
regarding the pledges of loyalty

newspaper. Its attitude toward any
