Rightfut DeriSiOn.

The announcement made last week by Herr
Erzherger leader of the Centrist party in the reich
stag that Germany had changed from an autocracy
to a democracy was met, as it deserved to be met.
with derision from the American press. For Herr
Erzberger think that the rest of the world could
be brought believe this but reveals the Curl
Gus twist of the German mind-a psychology that
disguises its schemes thinly, thinking that other
peoples are too chldke penetrate the disguise
are so gubIe as to accept any story that the pom
derous German brain may evolve
Discussing the announcement the Boston Trans
cript says: Nothing could be more amusing to the
student of political history than the spasm of Joy
tha. prevailed amongst the idle and ilI-informed
minds over the triumph of democracy in Germany
AS matter of fact there is very little real hope
even for a small increase of parliamentary
thority either in HertIing's appointment his
negotiations with the political leaders .
Hertling will go when the Kaiser's particular
for him is Overland the autocracy remains ex-
actIy as strong as when the same imperial hand
turned Bismark out of power"
The New York World says. Democracy means
slightly more than causual conferences between
party leaders and who had been appointed
chancellor by the Kaiser but had not yet
cepted We shall believe that political
revolution has taken place in Germany when the
government in its entirety is overturned and
ganfzed" The Columbus Enquirer-Sun views the
Erzberger statement as another Hohenzollern
scheme to aid the familiar German peace props-
ganda Continuing the Enquirer-Sun says, cit is
unthinkabIe that one who has held such power
Kaiser Wilhelm has held and still holds would thus
surrender it or any considerable part of it, without
something very to if not quite revolution,
unless forced to do so from an outside force.
No one should permit himself to be deceived by the
4 hypocracy of the Hohenzollerns." -.-

WHY TO SAVE FOOD, AND HOW-The City Woman

not allow themselves to forget that fact, what
they once knew in regard to country methods that
make for simplicity and efficiency.
She has another great opportunity open to her.
That is protection of the citys children. Their
health is vital to the of the nation, yet in
every period of food stringency they the first

Finally, the city woman has one privilege de-

She is able to watch results. Beholding vast
masses of people at close range, she often

fruition The stimulus OF this should spur her 30
redoubled efforts. And those efforts, rightly di-
rected will bring vast results In food saving For
the city woman has proved over and over that

THE SEARCHLIGHT
CHINESE STUDENTS.

The number of Chinese students at American
universities is on the Increase In August alone
"a students left China for American colleges. It
is not generally known that when the United
States waived its claim to the Boxer Identities
a stipulation was. inserted under which certain
proportion of the indemnity money must be ex-
pended by the Chinese government in educating
Chinese youths in the United States. When China
entered the war, all the allies waived the payment
of the Boxer indemnities for the time being but
the United States stipulated that the expended
on sending students to this country should con-
tinue to be forthcoming.

London, Dec. 22.--The Bolsheyikl
are trying TO get the German social
lists to rise against their govern
ment.
II has been impossible as yet TO
receive any confirmation OF the dis
patch that the Germans have reject
ed the Bolsheviki peace terms but
a dispatch received today from Pet
rograd indicates that the LenIne
government realizes clearly that
there IL an almost unbridgable
chasm between the two govern
ments.
The dispatch Is an appeal to the
socialists OF the central powers to
bring their influence to bear on their
governments. II said "the socialists
OF all countries must recognize thet
between the peace program OF the
workmen's and soldiers delegates
and peasants delegates and that Of
the German capitalists. land owners
and military generals. there are IRE
concilIable contradictions. N these
two programs alone brought us face
TO face. peace would be impossible,
but the Russian people have not de-
throned the monarchy and the bour.
geoise Of their own country only to
how down before the monarchy and
the bourgeoise Of another country.
peace can only draw near when
the strong and decided will Of the
workers Of Germany and her allies
makes itself heard"

TO HOUSE MACHINERY

George NJ. Cornwall, Of Portland,
publisher OF the Timberman. was In
the city Saturday on a patriotic mis-
sion, that OF inducing farmers TO
cover their machinery during the

able fact that the. majority Of west
ern farmers leave their implements
in the field where they were last
used, until they are again needed
the following season. Records show
that in the section west OF Chicago
only 25 per cent Of the farm i'm
plements are protected from the

Prof. Ekblow, OF the bureau oil
farm economics. is authority for the
statement that the life Of farm ma
chinery which is left out in al
weather is two years, while the lif'
of protected machinery is from II
to IS years.
The shortage Of steel and castings
paint and labor, which are needed
for war work, makes 1t imperative
that the farmer protect his impie
ments and thus relieve factor.
workmen for necessary war work.
Mr.. Cornwall spoke at Los An
geles. Fresno and Stockton, an
stopped off at Grants Pass for a FEY
hours with l. A. Robie, an oil
friend. and to urge. the retail lum
bermen, as a duty they owe thei
country, to plead with the farmer
TO observe their machinery and In
