A Show That Cheers

One Of The most satisfying exhibitions
this nation ever knew is that OF the
chemical industries, just opened Ia Ne"
York city. and if we weren't whooping
up Liberty bond sales, We certainly would
be whooping for excursions 70 the me-
tropolis and its chemical show.
Production and destruction of mans
affairs are pretty much all worked out
IN the chemists laboratory. nowadays.
The chemist has revolutionized warfare
and agriculture and this New York ex-
position is demonstration that ne IS ike
" TO revolutionize manufacturing. An
drew Carnegie doubled his fortune by
putting high-priced skilled chemists in
his steel plants. The glass manufactur-
ers have done away with their costly
spoiled material dumps by putting skilled
chemists on their pay rolls. The real lords
of the cotton and wooden goods factories
are chemists, and this New York show
lifts the veil Of mystery from the max
ing Of powder. paper and pulp, asphalt,
fertilizers, dyestuffs and other products
behind which were the study and labor
Of the chemist. Our leading chemists
and scientists declare that, since the war
began, America has made advances in
chemical industries equivalent TO Ger
many's progress therein during the past
half-century, and that is q tremendous
declaration, indeed. Such advances as to
fertilizers and dyestuffs, alone, would
mean incalculable progress, since il
would signify national independence in
respect of two particulars Of vital i'm
portance to national prosperity.
That exposition by chemists is show
ing that we can do for ourselves a lot OF
things that we've been content TO let
others do for us. It is well.

Berlin's the Place For Him

British cruisers are reported to be lay
ing for Won Luxburg, that discredited
German minister 20 Argentina, who has
started for Berlin, and there doesn't
seem 70 be anything like good policy in
trying 70 capture him since it will re-
quire several perfectly good Brtishers 70
feed and watch him. if captured
Won Luxburg, who advised the cold
blooded murder Of neutral Argentine
crews, is just the sort Of fellow that the
allies can well afford to let Berlin have
exclusively. II our own country could
only round UP its noncombatant Won Lux
burgs and dump them upon Berlin il
would be q godsend, economically and a.
war measure. Bloody-minded creatures
ike this Won Luxburg are wholly a bur
den. whether serving as prisoners in
London or advisors in Berlin Chasing
such is 2 good deal Ike hunting skunks

We've Just Begun

We gave the kaiser and his Prussian
junkers mighty blow when we oversub-
scribed the first Liberty Loan. We
showed him we meant business-with
money as well as men. Now we have
the privilege of hitting him even harder
with our subscriptions to the second Lib
erty Loan

magnificent, but it was only the first.

first great victory he said, II have not

Hindenburg Sends a Telegram

Hindenburg, Germany's Marshal Back
wards, recently sent telegram to the
people of Essen. He came as near telling
the truth as seems possible to one of the
satraps OF the kaiser.
In plain English--like his mas,er. Hin
denburg fed the people with lies. Here
are some of the bright particular gems:
We, too, desire what the pope desires
namely the termination of the war which
was FORCED UPON US.
President Wilson's note was en- insult
to the German people
let US continue to be victorious and
hold our peace"
An American Is bound to wonder how
long the Germans can be fed such nan
and led to go on making sacrifices Of blood
and treasure to maintain their masters
In the seats Of power. The fiction that
the war was forced upon Germany must
long ago have been proved lie even to
the all-believing and docile Germans.
Whether they can think or Germany
ms victorious is problematical They were
promised England would be bror to her
knees IN few months by the submarine
war They were promised that the sub
marines would make it impossible for
America to do her share in the war. They
were told that the German lines in France
and Flanders were impregnable.
Finally, to spur up their waning will
to-war, Germans are gravely told bv
Hindenburg that the presidents note i
an insult to the German people. The
president made distinction between the
German military clique and the German
people. He plainly said this country
would enter into no peace negotiations
with Germany run by the present bunch
OF liars and traaty-breakers
And If the German people were Der.

he had made out pretty good case.

AIsatians and Germany

Every time the Germans take time
from ruthlessness and from expressing
the Belgians. Poles and Serbs, they
amuse themselves by proclaiming 70 the
world that they will always hold AlSace-
Lorraine and that in this they are jusu-
fed, as this territory, which they took
from France in 1870, was originally Ger
man territory and belonged OF right 70
the German crown. In other words, they
hold that they simply restored 10 Ger
many what was Germany's.
For justification they ike 20 point 70
the German names of the towns and the
German names of many OK The people.
Unfortunately for them. this kind Of eX-
cuse does not advance their cause very
much.
So far as the towns are concerned. as
Alsace-Lorraine has been under the
Prussian heel for the last 40 years. II has
not been hard 70 impose German names
and place these names on ali the official
maps.
The fact remains that in their hearts
the people OF these conquered provinces
remain French. They remain loyal 70
the tricolor.
A mere glance at history serves 70
show how many Alsatans with distinctly
German-sounding names We're loyal sons
of France and did their best % right Ger
many and Germanism.
1t was Reubel who identified Alsace
with the cause Of the French reyoution.

with Chatrain in the many romances
clarifying French valor and French arms.
II was Keller who as q deputy in the
German reichstag, as early as 1871, made
the famous exclamation, We are

Finally, Zislin and Waltz, collaborating
at "Hansi," are the great carlcatursts
who have made the Germans vince by
the keen edge Of their poisoned pencils.

Scenery Contract
For Chautauqua Let

. The contract for the scenery for
the stage of the new Chautauqua
building has been let to II. j. Hansen,
scenic artist Of st. Paul. Mr.. Han
sen has a big reputation as a scenery
artist and will turn out settings
which will be a credit to the magnifi-
cent building. A drop curtain and
complete stage settings, including a
street scene, wood scene, parlor in
terror scene, ETC., will be constructed
Contrary to earlier expectations, it
has been decided to have the scenery
all done Immediately and the fully
equipped stage will probably be
ready for the July Chautauqua as
sembly. The scenery will be built
on scale equal to that in the largest
city theatres. The stage is 60 by 80
feet in dimensions and will provide
ample room for the largest attrac-
tions that visit the coast.

Coos Bay Special to
Roundup Assured

Marshfield Record; L. j. Simpson,
who is home from Portland, said to-
day the proposed excursion to towns
in the southern part of Oregon, in
cluding Eugene, Roseburg, Grants
Pass, Medford and Ashland, is all ar
ranged for with the Southern Pacific,
and the special train will have four
or five Pullman sleepers, dining car
and excellent service wherever it
stops.
The fare is set at $35, and this in
cludes everything to be had, such as
meals, tips, lodging and, in fact, moth
ing is expected from people who go.
other than the $35. This even in
cludes tickets for the grand stand at
the Ashland roundup. Mr.. Simpson
has sufficient assurances from North
Bend and Marshfield to warrant the
excursion being big success, but
more can easily he accommodated.
There are always desertions in such
affairs at the last moment, but the
manager is planning to keep the
quota to 100 people If possible. The
train leaves here on July 2 and re-
turns July 5.

Much Advertising
Of Roundup in Cal.

B. r. Greer returned Sunday even

spent few days on business. He

Rogue River roundup July 8, and
5 of this year.

Unregistered Must
Do Without Pills

The young cigarette smoker will
have a hard row to hoe in Oregon,
since registration day has provided
means of ascertaining jus. who is 21.
The Oregon law provides that no deal
er shall sell cigarettes to minors. The
registration law provides that all who
register shall carry the small green
card which proves that fact. There
fore all the dealer has to do in order
to safeguard himself is to demand
that the young man who claims to be
21, but whose looks do not uphold the
contention, shall produce his card. If
unable to produce card or to prove
that he is enlisted and did not have to
register, the dealer would have to
refuse to sell cigarettes.
