English Town BOmbarded
BY GERMANS; % KILLED

Twenty-three persons, including
nine women and six children, were
killed and so persons were injured
at Southend, in Essex, 40 miles east
of London, by bombs dropped from
German raiders August 70. Consid-
cradle damage was done to property.
Reports indicate that the probabili-
ties are that the German airplane
raid Sunday would have been more
serious but for the preparedness Of
the British defense. British airplanes
at the first intimation of the enemy's
approach arose from all points,
climbing upward at a terrific pace at
the daring angles, with the result
that before the Germans arrived
fleets of British machines were in
waiting.

HELP THE NATION
BUILD SHIPS

Farmers of the Pacific northwest
are hampered in harvesting crops by
lack Of gasoline and distillate and
should be interested in promoting
ship building.
Harvesting machinery and farm
tractors cannot be driven without
gasoline and distillate, and gasoline
and distillate cannot be brought
from the great oil refineries in the
south without ships.
Scarcity of ships causes shortage
of distillate and gasoline and crude
oil and not only agriculture but
other industries will suffer.
Grain growers are deeply concern
ed and it all comes back to the great
national need for millions of tons of
shipping-the urgent requirement of
the hour Is ships, ships, ships.
The campaign of the Portland
Chamber of Commerce is for 10000
men to work summer and winter,
day and night, in the shipyards to

WHO DARES TO
TRY TT

II there is anybody at Blackfoot
who has some nerve and desire to
do something different from what
put his home town on the map and
at the same time help stay the
famine and corral part of the gold
that is flowing to America, let him
sit up and take notice.
There are several hotels and res
taurants in Blackfoot, and many
others at Pocatello, Aberdeen, Shell
ley and Idaho Falls, all within an
hours run by express, where great
quantities of peas are daily poured
out of tin cans and placed on the
tables. Guests who are not accus-
toned to having really good meals
and good fresh peas as they come
from the garden, eat canned peas
and do not realize that they are in
ferior food. II these same guests
could have some really good peas
at a certain hotel once day during
the pea season, they would leave
other boarding places and hike long
distances to get some of those cream
peas like mother used to cook.
II a farmer or gardener should
visit all these places today, tomor-
row and next week and try to sell
them peas he would usually have
difficulty in disposing of them. The
man at the desk would probably ask
the cook and cook would say no.
The man would go back to the office
and report that they could not use
any of the fresh peas just now. II
you should disguise yourself and
work on the problem until you found
out just why hotel catering to- the
appetite of its guests declined to-
buy your fresh peas when they were
paying more money for a lot of in
sipid stuff out of tin cans you would
obtain certain facts that would read
like this:
A cook in hotel hasn't time to
sit down and shell peas for a lot
of people. The second cook hasn't
time to sit down and shell peas for
a lot of people. It is easier to use
can opener, and open the cans as
needed. Big crowd, big can opening.
Small crowd, small can opening. If
they had spent the forenoon Smelling
peas in expectation of lot of peo-
pie for dinner and only few had
come, then the waste would be great
er. If they guessed wrong the other
way, some guests would have peas
and some would not. If they fur
nished delicious fresh peas as long
as they lasted and dished up canned
peas for the others, and the same
person ever got served with both
kinds, that guest would put up his
nose at the canned peas. Now you
begin to understand why it is hard
to sell fresh peas to a hotel or
restaurant. But that is not the only
reason. If they buy peas of you
today and you don't come around
tomorrow, that gives them good peas
one day, and canned goods the next
and that disturbs business and
makes the guests dissatisfied the day
they use canned goods. Then there
are other items that are important.
The average farmer who brings
green peas to town does it because
they have more than they can use
at home. When Mr.. Farmer sees
some of his peas getting over-ripe,
he reasons that he Is about to lose
a lot of those peas if he doesn't

Ships are the great national need
for our country and the allies and
any man who can WELD a hammer or
a saw can serve his country in the
shipyards as effectively as in the
trenches.
Portland and Oregon shipyards
need 5000 men for building steel
ships and 5000 for wooden ships.
Help enlist 10000 workers for
this industry which is as important
as service in the army or navy.

NET RESULTS OF THE
THREE YEARS OF WAR

By comparing the total cost of
the Franco-Prussian, American Civil,
South African and Russo-Jap wars,
which was SIS, 900, 100000, with the
cost of the present war to date,
which is $84, 1868, 205, 900 you can, in
measure conceive of the enormity
of the entire situation as caused by
the present world war. The tonnage
of neutral and entente merchant
ships sunk by Teuton submarines in
three years is 4,358,59O tons and
the active U-boats amount to 1907
900 tons. The enemy territory held
by the entente powers is 1,200,910
square miles, as compared to the
173,950 square miles of land held
by the Teutons in enemy territory.
The casualties during. the present
war have been 18,5O0,000; those in
the civil war were $4,000.

Directors to War
Appeal to Wilson
Ask Status Be Defined in
View Of Ruling to Hold
Them as Deserters

The threat of Provost Marshal Gen
eral Crowder that conscientious OBJ.
jectors who evade military service will
be treated as deserters in war time
prompted the DIRECTORS yesterday to
appeal to President Wilson.
On behalf of 10000 directors in
New York, Crystal Eastman, secretary
of the American Union Against Mill
tarism, 20 Fifth Avenue, sent a letter
to the President, asking him "to make
clear his attitude toward conscien-
tious objectors." The organization has
enrolled more than 5000 DIRECTORS
some of whom have announced their
intention not TO submit to physical ex-
aminations.
The letter says:
MAY we call your attention to the
fact that Brigadier General Crowder's
statement of August allows the in
ference that conscientious DIRECTORS
may be court martialed and shot? We
refer to the following paragraph:
"'When the time allowed for making
these claims has elapsed these persons
will be enrolled as in the military SER
vice. They will then be ordered to
appear as soldiers. From this point
on they will be under the swift and
summary procedure Of court martial
Failure TO report for military duty
when ordered 10 do so constitutes de-
sertion. Desertion in time of war is a
capital offence
"The press has widely interpreted
this as a threat Of the death penalty
for all who, for any reason, refuse to
take part in this war. On the heels
of this startling announcement comes
the news that Federal District Attor-
Iey is demanding death for those citi-
Gems of Oklahoma who recently armed
themselves TO resist the draft.
"Mr. President. you know, as we do
that there are a great many thousands
among our hundred million who. right
ly or wrongly, disapprove of this war
and are unwilling TO fight in il. Some
few will have the courage of their con-
victions and will refuse to fight. That
these must suffer Imprisonment is a
foregone conclusion. But that they
should be executed, or that RESPONSE
BILE officer should be allowed TO
threaten them with the death penalty,
is something which we believe you, as
the elected head Of this great democ-
racy and as commander in chief of the
army, will not tolerate.
"May we therefore urge you to take
such steps as will correct the unfortu-
nate impression made and at the same
time make clear to the country your
own attitude toward the conscientious
objector?"

"The United States has a more ex-
tended record of atrocities TO her
credit than any other nation of the
civilized world. The number Of
negroes lynched in this country since
1885 amounts to one in every four
days. Some ironical god or destiny
must have brought this long story
of bloody public crime to its culmina-
ton in East St. Louis last month,

libidinous. Here is food for the psy-
chologist. Why is anti-Americanism so
commonly associated with militant un-
morality?

Terms Of peace: To demand that our
government shall announce immediate
ly in concrete terms its war aims and
shall seize every opportunity TO achieve
those aims through negotiation unham-
pered by the ambitions Of other gov
ernments; TO strive for an early, demo-

secure democratic control of foreign
policy, and a popular referendum on
all questions of war and peace; to
work for the repeal Of the CONSUMPTION
