THROUGH GERMANS
CONTINUED from page i

| Russians Drive Germans Out.
| PETROGRAD, Oct 29.-Evacuation
by the Germans of Werder peninsula
was formally announced in today S
war Office statement.
[Werder peninsula is just opposite
| Moon island, at the entrance to the
gulf of Riga. 1t was occupied by
the Germans ten days after extern
sive operations by probably the lar
gest fleet of warships Germany mas
yet assembled in the war. The fact
that troops were landed on the main
land, in connection with the forces
on islands Of Moon, Daso and Oesel
gave rise for acute apprehension IN
Russia that the enemy was preparing
land drive toward Petrograd. The
fortress of Reval on the gulf of Fin
land and almost due north of Werder
was hurriedly evacuated by the Rus
slams because of the menace to Its
rear because Of Werder landings.1

peaceful, without warning and
without giving passengers and
crew a chance to escape.
In resuming such a policy OF
ruthlessness after having Off
cially informed our government
such work would not be done.
In plotting to destroy indus
tries and kill American citizens
in this country when we were
at peace with Germany and de-
sired to so remain.
In plotting by chicanery and
falsehood to get Mexico and
Japan to invade our peaceful
western states and by holding
out a promise of American terS
ritory for the invaders.
Indirectly we have occasion
for war because of the . cold
blooded invasion of Belgium in
defiance of treaty and the de-
spoilation of that land. There
is cause of war in the slaugh-
ter of innocent Belgian civilians
and the cruel. inhuman main-
ing of little children.
We have direct cause fer
war in the fact that if we do
not aid now in the overthrow
of kaiserism the time will
come when single handed we
will have to face a foe that has
already made the boast that he
will make America pay tribute
in the form of a huge indem-
nifty to Berlin.
The men drawn for service
yesterday are fortunate in that
they are selected to represent
this country on the battlefield
in a war for humanity and free
dom. Let them face their obli-
cations with bold hearts and
good cheer. There are many
millions more ready to follow
them when the time comes.

THE MIcHAELIs SPEECH

~ HE defiant tone of the new
VI German chancellor is
nothing less than might
have been expected. German
autocracy knows there can be
no peace except on a basis of
autocracy's downfall. Word to
that effect has been served by
the allied nations. We fight
not merely to end the war but
to provide post bellum conditi-
ons that will make future
peace an assurance and expert
ence shows that the peace of
the world is not safe while the
central powers are dominated
by a caste that places sole
faith in militarism and is in
spired by philosophy under
which no regard is shown for
the rights of man or the laws
of God.
Knowing the nature of the
allied goal the kaiser has no
course save to abdicate or fight
to a finish. He will fight as
long as he can. But there will
be a limit to German endurance
and a limit to Teutonic forbear-
ance in conducting war that
is not for the German people
but for men who in truth are
their oppressors. When that
day arrives William will be for
tunate. if he does not find more
formidable foes at home than
in the ring of allied soldiers
surrounding his empire.
It is significant that the Ger
man socialists do not approve
of MichaeIis. They realize
that his policy is to win or |
sink the ship. How long will |
they stand for such COM
mander?

A CASE FOR THE cLoTURE


IT. HE house was so general
VI ly convinced of the inn
portance of an over
whelming army of aerOplanes
in prosecuting the war against
Germany that it debated the
S64O, 100000 aviation bill only
five hours and then rushed it
into the senate. The senate
military affairs committee is so
impressed the same way that
it orders a favorable report
after 45 minutes of discussion
and the road appeared to be
wide open for getting the bill
to the President by tonight.
But it is now seen that the
road lust ahead is beset by GER
tain obstructive senators. They
are of the senators who tried
to disarm the United States in
venturing to assert its rights on
the high seas against Germany
They are of those who have be-
fore in effect acted as allies of
the kaiser, if they have not
plainly spoken in such a capa-
city.
What moves them now to
obstruct in the very face of the
enemy we do not know. 1t
my be the news from Ger
many that Zeppelin construc-
ton has been dropped and all
its energy given to aeroplane
building, in anticipation of the
American effort. 1t may be
something else. But the effect
is TO give the enemy start
against their own country.
What do you call that?
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1917-07-21

What is talking against time,
where time hurts us and aids
the enemy?
There is but one thing for
the senate to do, if the La Fol
Iettes and the Gronnas persist
in their avowed purpose. 1t
has a cloture rule especially
adopted for their cases. 1t
should be invoked.-St. Louis
