have been outgunned in the west for
more than year. This means greater
casualties and ''the gradual breakdown
of morale. F" Then
On the material side it is exceed.
lngly unlikely that Germany can be
starved out, but another year will bring
greater hardships, greater suffering,
and failure of crops would mean ruin.
Germany has suffered for two years
more than Britain or France is yet suf-
fering, or will suffer for year, and
the moral effect is increasing all the
time.
Looking at the commercial side, the
fact is this: Every month the war goes
on Germany loses more of her CONNER
cial establishment. !"
By the time of the fourth anniver-
sary of the war, Germany will have
given up all hope of escaping dsfeat,
Mr.. Simonds believes, and he adds:
1--WE have all of come, insensibly, to
play the German game a little and to
believe for too much in the infallibility
of German generals and the invincibil-
ity of German armies. Yet from the
Marne to the present hour every Ger
man offensive i'll the west has failed,
and the steady deterioration of German
armies has been revealed by the mark
ed increase in prisoners, guns, and
ground gained ey the successive at
tacks },

ruling made by the commission. The
period of apprenticeship is cut in half.
:" This is an initial step toward re-
heving the abnormal conditions caused
by the present high cost of living due
to the war; reads statement issued
by the commission. cit is hoped that
the employers of the state will meet it
in spirit of patriotic cooperation.
Possibly every industry of the state,
with the exception of the lumber and
shipbuilding industries, is affected by
the order.

Italians Give Big Order
for Douglas Fir for
Building AerOpIanes

Tacoma, Wash, Sept. 1.-The italian
government has contracted for 25,000
600 feet of douglas fir, to be used as q
substitute for spruce in, the construc.
tion of aircraft, it was announced here
today. While the price is not given, it
is stated by the West Coast Lumber
men s association to be the lowest prize
ed aircraft lumber order yet placed in
America.
Lumbermen say that if fir proves to
be satisfactory airplane material, the
problem of furnishing sufficient air
craft lumber to the United States and
the allies, will be solved, as there are
nearly twenty mills cutting fir to every
one cutting spruce.

Sumpter Makes Appea
For Fire Sufferers

sumpter, Oregon, Sept. 1.-Friends:
We are appealing to you for financial
help for Fire Swept Sumpter. Every
business house with their stocks rang.
ing up to thousands of dollars has been
destroyed, nearly fifty homes with all
the contents of clothes, bedding and
furniture have been lost completely.

been wiped out and little or no insur.

extreme high rate charged and at that
dlItlcult to get. Light and water plant
put out OF business, our people are
Iaelng the winter with from six to
ten feet of snow for months. Last year
snow began falling November lst. 1t
Will soon be here. Fuel is a grave prob
lem. The impression unfortunately has
gone out that Sumpter is not in serious
need. 1T is and help must be had at
once to prevent further and acute suf-
fering.
The total losses carefully compiled bv
the committee appointed by the Mayor
of the City reaches over 5000, ,O0O.O
Hours of painstaking work results in
the fact that from $7,500.00 to $10,-
10000 will be required, after cutting
relief to the bone in order that the sit
uatlon may be relieved. We appeal for
help to you and your people. Please take
the matter up at once that your help
may be of great good. The governor has
appealed to the state but the response
IS not such as we feel the people should
give. Kindly make all remittanees to

The Stacker" Stars
A Native American

To be shown at the Oregon next week
Emily Stevens, star of Metros spe.
ciai production de luxe, "The Slack.
err written and directed by William
Christy Cabanne, is mounting steadily
higher in the artistic armament. There
is not on the American stage a young
woman of more brilliant achievements
or greater promise for the future. And
''The Stacker" places her at the ze-
NTH of her powers.
1t is fitting that Miss Stevens should
be chosen to play the leading role in
this superb photodrama of patriotism
fOr she comes of fine old American
stock. SBmily Stevens is q niece of Mrs
Fiske, the celebrated actress, and the
daughter of Robert E. Stevens and En-.
ma Madden, also prominent players
She made her debut on the speaking
stage with Mrs. Fiske, playing the part
of maid in Becky Sharp" and she
remained in her aunt s company sew
eral years, playing and studying stage
technique.
After winning praise in "Leah Kles-
chna," she was given the leading fem
mime role in "The Devil" with Geo.
Arliss. Later she appeared in William
LOcke's "Septimus. She starred in
"The Unchastened Woman" in 1915
and 1916, and the early part of 1917,
then appearing on Broadway in John
Galsworthy's magnificent drama, "The
Fugitive"
This star however, has come to the
full realization of her powers in her
motion picture work. She has never ap-
peared for any other company than
Metro Pictures Corporation, and for
that progressive firm has starred in
'The Wager" "The Wheel of the
Law, +" Destiny, or the Soul of Wo-
man. "Cora,' and "The House of

France before the winter sets in. b.
next spring America will have an army
of 100000 men on the western front.
In addition there will be ready thous
ands of trained aviators. If
the Germans will wait until next spring
before throwing themselves on the mer-
cy of the allies, they will have ocular
evidence of America as a military fac
tor.

graph S Washington correspondent cheer

tanned "that there would be no trouble

France as quickly as they are trained
and that this can be accomplished at the
rate Of of more than 100000 a month y
Mr.. Simends, whose prophecy that
1918 will be victory year for the al
lies" has been already cited, gives in
the New York Tribune his reasons for
believing that Germany can not last un-
til November, 1918. First of ell sis the
magnitude of her losseG.' German caus-
atty lists show total in killed, wound
ed and captured of 100000, and Mr..
Simonds estimates the total permanent
loss to be 100000. This means, he says
that Germany can not bring up enough
reserves, even with Russia out of the
war, to equal the allied forces on the
west front. Therefore, he believes that
"before next July the Germans will
have to choose between wide retreat
in the west and a great DISASTER For
Germany has not the reserves to last
another year of such pounding as the
last, and her western foes, with the
help Of the United States, have the
