distinguished themselves. But by the
time Monastir had fallen Rumania had
collapsed, Bucharest was in German hands
and the German advance had gone far
north to the line of the Lower Danube.
There was then lacking to the Sarrail
army the strength to push further north
in face of the German reinforcements
which could be safely detached from Ru-
mania, and Sarrail's situation was made
still more difficult by the maneuvres OF
King Constantine, who seemed to be plan
ming to attack the Salonica army in the
rear.

of a great strategic operation in the Bal

Two Hellenic Governments

Thus in the closing weeks of 1915 the
alies lost any last chance of dominating
as Balkans, and Greece, through its King,
9irkly demonstrated solidarity of feel
e with the Central Powers which led
sflnately 10 a revolution and to a state

saatine, ruling at Athens and serving

SNonica and devoted to the cause OF the
Allies.
Last fall there was a new crisis in the

JUNIOR RED CROSS
PLANNED FOR SCHOOL

The proceeds from the customary &C.
tivities of the students of the Hood
River schools along the lines of ath-
letics and dramatics may the coming
year be largely devoted to the aid Of
the American Red Cross. Following a
announcement from Red Cross head
quarters to the effect that plans are
under way for the nationwide organiza-
tion of Junior Red Cross societies, open
to all school children, Secretary Ravlin
says that the executive board of the
local Chapter has shown keen inter-
est and a local Junior Red Cross will
likely be organized at once.
1t is required that each shcool, in or.
der to become an auxiliary Red Cross
organization. must first raise fund
equal to 25 cents for every pupil of
the school. The school is entitled to
display a Red Cross banner and the
students become Junior members. The
fund will be used by the children for
materials to be made into Red Cross
supplies.

THE DEPORTATION
OF PETER SRAD
(From The Portland Spectator)

We are told that the citizens of
Hood River acted IN a lawless manner
in deporting Peter Shad. Much as
The Spectator would like to feel even
in small measure the indignation
expressed by those who regard this
action as Illegal and outrageous, it is
quite impossible to do so when contem-
plating the mans name. Peter Shad.
1t is name to conjure with.
But Peter was not deported from
Hood River because his name is Shad.
His expatriation was due to the fact
that he was in Hood River to preach
the pernicious doctrines of /. w. w..
ism, to which the citizens of the
peaceful valley have not unnatural
antipathy. Those who criticize the
people of Hood River for deporting
Mr.. Shad, say that he was quite within
his rights in preaching syndicalism
and sabotage in Hood River, and in
trying to induce his hearers to abandon
their work and Join the ranks of the
malcontents. This is democracy, say
the accusers of the residents of Hood
River and defenders of Peter Shad, in
which each of us has the right to do or
say what pleases him. Very good.
Peter Shad enjoyed the right to de-
nounce the government, rah against
employers, and preach industrial an
archy. Then it came the turn of the
citizens of Hood River, who enjoyed
the right to tell Peter Shad that he
was a pestiferous mischief-maker and
escort him out of town. Surely even
the most obdurate |. W. w. would not
ask for Peter Shad any rights of which
the rest of us should be deprived.
1t is said that the citizens of Hood
River threatened to lynch Peter Shad.
If the threats were made merely to
frighten Peter Shad, it must be ad.
mitted they were in bad taste. Not
only that; they are likely to be mis-.
construed. Other members of the
pestilential l. W. w., noting the fact
that Peter Shad, who preached sedi.
tion and tried to foment industrial
strife, escaped injury, and was merely
deported, may think they can 60 to
Hood River and initiate him without
fear of being lynched. Thus Hood
River will get bad name, sand may be
overrun with the |. w. w. But let US
hope that Peter Shad's defenders were
misinfOrmed, and that what was really
said to him was that he would be per
mitted to go without the lynching that
he so greatly merited, but that others
of his ilk who were bent on creating
trouble in Hood River would do wei
to tell their friends where to send the
flowers.

A Lesson Quickly Learned
(From the Salem Capitol'JournaD

Pete Shad, Seattle |. W. w. recently
paid visit to Hood River. He at once
began to stir up trouble by preaching
the doctrines Of not working or per-
mitting anyone else to do so. He was
arrested and placed in the city Jail for
incendiary talk. The citizens of that
little section of paradise did not like
Pete's doctrine or his proposed method
of running things. Apple picking is
about to commence in the:valley and
that means someone has to work.
Pete's theories would interfere with
this work, and as the apple is Hood
Rivers main hold her citizens conclud-
ed Pete and his kind were far better
off in some place far distant from that
busy section. In consequence of this
general belief Pete was quietly taken
from the city Jail by some thirty
masked citizens already provided with
suggestive rope. He was marched in
silence down to the river bank, halted
under a convenient cottonwood, over a
limb of which the rope was thrown
and then Pete was asked to explain his
doctrines thoroughly so his hearers
would know exactly what they were
hanging him for.
Pete suddenly discovered he had no
doctrines except those of hard work.
Things took a different hue and work
compared to the job that was facing
him seemed, for once, really attrac-
tive. He knelt upon the beach sand
and solemnly renounced the calling of
industrial agitation, although some.
what agitated at the time, and prom.
ised if allowed to depart to keep his
mouth shut and his hands busy instead,
all the balance of his days, which he
hoped might be many more than condi-
tions then indicated. Hood River1folks
are easy, and concluded to give Pete a
chance, realizing the worst punish
ment that could be inflicted on him
would be a life of serious endeavor,
and so he was set across the river to
the ancient and honorable station of
1.-The Saints Rest" Accounts say he
passed the Granddalles, 20 miles dis
tant, five hours later headed east and
going strong. He didn't like Hood
River, and he was afraid the fellows
there might be picking fruit of a new
variety from cottonwood trees if he
halted long.

John Baker Gives Labor Day Speech

Monday morning.
without labor" he said, "there
would be no capital. If we did away
with capital entirely and retained la
Dor we would soon accumulate capital.
Labor is the main spring and capital
simply a wheel in the mechanism OF
the worlds life."
The meaning of Labor Day, which
Mr.. Baker said was first celebrated in
1887, was given practical every day
application, when the fact that every
people got out of life just what they
put into it" was emphasized.

OLDER BUT STRONGER

To be healthy at seventy, prepare at

Tobe stronger when older, keepyour

Mrs. Sutthoff dug up a case Of q
crippled boy, II years old whose mind
was a blank, with crippled mother.
The woman in question had not asked
for help. but that made no difference.
Next to that woman's home there was
vacant lot owed by big. strapping
hulk of man who is drawing pay
from the city of Seattle. Mrs. Sut-
thoff asked him for the use of the lot.
She was refused, but she got it just
the same, and that ole. d.crippled wom-
an, on her hands and knees, made her
garden and kept it as free from weeds
as any garden, Iand then some skunk of
man got in and ruined:the garden.
But with Mrs. Sutthoff's help she
again went to work and today her gar
den is a marvel.
Another case.
THAT woman in there" explained
Mrs. Sutthoff, is simply wonder.
She is little bit of thing and not
overly strong and her husband works
twenty hours day. Don't forget
that. She already has eleven children
and today she is as happy as clam
because the doctor just lleftland told
her she was about to become the
mother of twins"
After | caught my breath, asked,
"And what do you think of case like
that, Mrs. Sutthoff?"
81 think that is pure optimism.
