AUSTRALIA IS
LOUD In PRAISE
OF u. S. ACTION
Press Asserts America
War Entrance Has Heart
ened Whole World

Melbourne, Australia, June 1-Grat-
if1cation over the fact that the United
States is now actively on the side of
Great Britain and her allies in the war
is expressed by the newspapers of
Australia.
rAustralians Of every class and
creed will join gladly with the people
of Great Britain in welcoming America
into the pact which binds us to our
gallant European brothers in arms, y,
says the Melbourne Age. "And our
welcome to America is not the less
cordial because most Of us had all but
despaired until quite lately that she
would ever respond to the stimuli
which have already sent 330303, 5000
Australian lads to venture death in
ideal on the tortured battle fields of
France. America at length has ap-
proved our cause and justified our. ac-
ton in the manner unexceptiona1."
THAT the United States should have
decided to join the Allies in the war
is tremendous event in the history
Of the world" said the Melbourne
I Argus. 's'It is certainly the most mo-
| mentous event Of the ar since the
fateful days of August, 1914. 1t is
| fitting that a, virile like the United
States should decide to fight in de-
fence of civilization. Thee United
| States will prove a strong ally 7Strong
in influence and in resources"
| The Sydney Daily Telegraph, which
had frequently shown impatience with
President Wilson's policy, said:
America at war will devote her col
lossal strength to clearing the earth
of the curse of Prussianism.'
/ The Sydney Sun, an important even
| ing paper, asserted that t'the world
may truthfully say of these American
cousins of ours that they never went
to war in spirit of more greed nor
with tyrannous ideals set before them.
I! Their history places them spiritually
beside the great democracies of France
and Britain and opposes them to the
| German ideals of military conquest
| for conquest's sake. Historically
| America on the battlefield has been
'on the side Of the angels. and once
1 again she fights with the forces OF
freedom and honor against the darker
powers of cruelty and tyranny with
which the earth is periodically ours
| ed''
''The mere fact that the first peo-
pies voice to be heard speaking for
! modern liberty is Still in the battle
has heartened up the whole world, -
declared the Sydney Bulletin.

STRAWS SHOW WHICH
WAY THE WIND BLOWS

WASHINGTON, Oct. "a reduc-
ton of nearly 25 per cent in prem
iums for insurance of American YES
sells and cargoes traversing the war
zone was announced today by the
governments war risk insurance bu-
reau.
The reduction was made, it was
officially announced, because of the
decrease in the risks" Unofficially
it was regarded as the government
expression of it's opinion in terms of
dollars and cents, that the U-boats
have passed the zenith in their cam
paign of frightfulness.
Announcement of the reduction was
made in this cryptic statement by
the treasury department:
McAdoO's Cryptic Statement
"The secretary of the treasury to-
day announced that the bureau of war
risk insurance has reduced its rates
on all American steamers and car
goes traversing the war zone from
612 to 5 per cent.
"This reduction is made because of
the corresponding decrease in the
risks"
Determination of the war risk pre-
MUM is based upon many factors,
but primarily on the number of YES
sells traversing the war zone and the
number of sinkings The effective
ness of methods used in combating
submarines also enters largely into
consideration.
Effective Remedy Found
From the governments announce
ment, it is regarded as apparent
that officials believe effective meth
DDS have been adopted to deal with
the U-boats, although details of these
methods connot be revealed.
Today'sannouncement marks the
first reduction in any government in
surance risk to any waters infested
by submarines. Heretofore the re-
visions have all been upward.
Steady diminution in the number
of weekly sinkings since September
= is primarily responsible for the
decrease in rates announced today.

HOCH DER KAISER
IN JUNKERDOM
AND JUNGLEDOM

Just when everyone thought all the
beasts of the jungle had been named
and catalogued along comes the
Kaiser and adds himself to the list.
Junkerdom and jungledom means
the same thing to him.
First of all, he sent his armies
ripping and tearing through tor
tured Belgium.
He sent his U-sneaks to sink the
Lusitania.
He sent his troops to ravish
Serbia.
He swept Poland into his steel
paw.
He inspired the massacre of thou
sands of Armenians by the Turks.
He set his professors to work and
they produced liquid fire and poison
gas.
He turned his armies loose every
where and they ravished women, slew
little children and murdered old
men.
He gave the world the doctrine of
"spurlos vesenkt" long before his
miserable little minister in Argen-
tina ever thought of it.
He created brutal German god
and went into partnership with this
handmade deity to beat the devil
at his own game
He made a science of mass muir
der and made decency a sin among
his people,
He organized hell on earth and
put premium on new devices for
the inflicting of misery.
But, ne rallied the whole earth to
arms against h isbeastfy operations
and he is doomed to fall Cwith the
wretched machine he has built.

tuberculosis Conference will meet
in Portland next Monday.
During the past week arrange
ments have been made with the rail

take an important part in the cam
paign. Leaders for the work are
