POLICY Of MIGHT

German Foreign Chief Makes
Interesting Statement in
Maiden Speech.

OF THE NEUTRALS FIRST
Favors ConCiliatory Attitude
Toward the Enemy When
ever Possible.

Amsterdam, Aug. ga policy
based on might alone and not on right
is doomed to failure from the begin
ming" was the interesting admission
made by DR.. Richard kuehlmarn,.
German imperial foreign secretary, in
his maiden speech to the main com
mittee of the rechstag yesterday. The
new secretary, according to telegram
from Berlin, dweit on the tremendous
responsibility in assuming office
when the country is beset by the
mishtiest of enemies without and
grave difficulties within"
Dr. Won Kuehlmann laid down the
following program: First. the main
tenance of cordial relations with Ger
many's allies; and second, with the
neutrals, whose rights are necessary
conditions Of existence which we shall
be most careful to respect as far as is
compatible with enemy trickery and
our own military needs
To Hold Neutrals Neutral.
ITO arrest further detection of inn
portant neutrals is an extremely Sc
rious and important task confronting

can only solve it successfully by OBJ
serving the principle that in politics
might counts but also right; that only
If we base our conduct on both can
We hope to achieve lasting results
| Furthermore, we still have relations
with the belligerents, although. of
course. official relations are ruptured: I:

AS to the Enemy.
4 DIR. Won kuehlmann eloquently EN-
phasized the necessity of studying
eiHmy psychology so that Rno soft
words should be wasted who's, the
other side holds rigidly aloof On the
other hand. no hard words should be
uttered when there are indications the
ice was breaking on the other sida
and more conciliatory feelings became
manifest"
| DIR. Won kuehlmann concluded with
an appeal for trust in the army and
navy.

Cut-0uts Will Go
Auto Chamber Decides

AS the use Of muffler cut-outs is be-
coming a nuisance, the members of. the
National Automobile Chamber of Com
merce have voted unanimously for THEN
elimination ON the cars they build in
future, 50 far as they can be operated
from the drivers seat.
With more than 100000 cars in use
and supplying a great service in the
transportation Of the individual and of
materials, the use of muffler cut-outs
is unfair to the public and adds an un-
necessary noise to American life. Cars
have ample power so that the slight in
crease in speed which may come from
ti.r "ee If cut-onts is Of no Importance
There may be times in adjusting motors
N,As4o q uuU-UuC is useful but in such
cases, it can be operated from under
the ear.
Almost half of the 110 makers in the
chamber do not fit muffler cut-outs to
their present ears and all makers voted
that they should be eliminated in the
new products. The directors at their
meeting in New York recently adopted
the following resolution:
Whereas, Members Of the National
Chamber of Commerce are
opposed TO the attachment of muffler
cut-outs to motor vehicles and do not

During the year the state highway
department has drawn plans for 25
county bridges, the total cost of which
aggregates 100000.
ost of the structures are now under
construction. The principal one is the
steel and concrete bridge across the
Willamette river at Salem being erected
by Marion and Polk counties jointly.
The cost is to be $250,000.
s- Next in cost,.comes the proposed con-
crete arch across the Deschutes river
by Sherman and Wasco counties to re-

Many Automobile
Accidents In Portland

Two persons were killed and 81 in
iured, some seriously, in automobile ac-
cidents in Portland between September
and September 10, according to the
record of the police bureau. The total
number of accidents reported between
the dates above mentioned was 148.
This shows proportionate gain over
the preceding month of August, when
the number was 217.
1t is matter of surprise that there
are not more accidents than there are,
in view of the fact that the traffic
ordinance is honored more in the breach
than in the observance.
It is the announced intention of Ba
ker's city commissions purchase a
partable paving plant.

Douglas County to Spend
100000 on Main Roads

Out of the $555,O0O road bond issue
authorized by the voters of Douglas
county last June, $111,0O0 has been
sold.
The bonds were sold for par, but an
attorney fee Of $4,000 was deducted,
making the net proceeds to the county
.$l07 100. The money is to be applied
to the cost of improving the Pacific
highway between Roseburg and the
Lane county boundary.
The cost of securing right -ofway for
this improvement will not be so great
as anticipated. In many instances land
owners donated it.

FREAK ACCIDENTS ARE CITED
Stone Thrown by Boy Cut Off En. gineer's Finger - Shorty" Run
 Over Without Being Hurt.

The late Len Marshall, engineer, lost a finger in peculiar way.
 He was running his engine through the country east of Dover, N. H., his right hand was on the throttle. and his left hand rested on the sill of the cab window, with his fingers outside.
 A boy standing on the railroad em- and the stone struck Marshall's middle finger, cutting it off at the lower joint.
 A Boston business man, who served 25 years in the train service of the Florida, Tampa & Key West railroad, tells that he worked in the freight train service, during the ''link and pin hitch" days" for 20 years without sus- taining any injury, rare thing in those days. He received his first in- jury in the railroad service after be- ing promoted to the position of pas senger conductor.
 While collecting tickets in the "Jim Crow'' car one day, drunken passen- ger seized the conductors thumb in his mouth as he put his hand out for the ticket. It required the efforts of the whole train crew to pry the pas senger's mouth open to release their conductor.
 One night when Shorty" diminu- tive yard brakeman, attempted to board the front end of a shifter, he missed his footing and went under. t"Cut to pieces!'' I said as ran to- ward the spot.
 E The engine kept moving, as the en- gineer did not see Shorty trying to jump on the footboard from the mid dle of the track Ca forbidden and dan gerous practice).
 reached the spot just as the shifter passed over Shorty's body. The shift CT had no sooner cleared, when to my surprise Shorty jumped up from the middle of the track and started to run after the shifter, yelling at the top of his voice: "Wait for me, you - fOol''
 Shorty was so small that when he went down he cleared the brake rig ging of the engine, consequently he was uninjured.

ZIGZAG ROAD IN AUSTRALIA
Famous Piece of Railroad Now Re- placed by Dozen Expensive Tun.
 nels to Make Big Descent.

In looking back over the history of the original settlement at Sydney, at first it seems strange that the base of the Blue mountains, a plateau 5000 feet in height and days ride from the coast, should mark the edge of known land for 25 years after civilization, a writer in the National Geographic Magazine observes. 5s :.
 There are, however, good reasons for this seeming lack of enterprise. The Blue mountains though not lofty, are broad, and constitute formidable bar Tier. There are no long valleys head ing in practicable passes and furnish ing access from the east and the west :; the stream heads are boxes inclosed by walls, and it was only when the narrow divides were chosen for causeways that the passage of the mountains was suc- cessfully accomplished. <
 The famous "zigzags'' of the first railroad, now replaced by dozen ex- pensive tunnels required for the pre- cipitous descent of 2OOO feet, give even the casual tourist an impression of the ruggedness of the plateau; and when one is led out onto one of q hun dred f1at-topped promontories and gazes down into canons whose walls may be scaled only by an experienced mountaineer and looks out over a tangle of canons and cliffs and tables at lower levels, he realizes that "mag- nificent scenery for the present gen. eration must have been ''disheartening obstacles" to the scout in search Of tillable land.
 It is as if the only feasible crossing of the Appalachians which confined the American colonists to the coastal belt were through the most rugged portion of West Virginia rather than along the Mohawk or through the Cumberland gap.

Cost of Stoppino Train.

A railroad in the southern part of the United States, in order to make it plain to it's patrons why suburban trains are not stopped whether there are passengers or not, has carefully computed the cost of stopping train. The calculation was made that it costs about 60 cents to stop a freight train Of 1000 tons and then to speed it up again to it's normal rate of 25 miles an hour. This calculation was, of course, based upon the price of coal. One-half of this expense represented the amount of coal burned; then there was the time wasted by the men, this being valued at 10 cents.. The wear and tear on the brakes and the start ing mechanism was estimated at 20 cents.
