,uSroRY AGAINST GERMANY

:. has been the constant conten-
~. of the German government and
~ honest belief of the German peo-
ale that this war was forced upon
Germany and, so far as it is con-
armed is defensive and therefore a
-, war. Their appeal is to the
car that we know as history
,,.rv well. then, let us, too, appeal
caesar. and read the record of re-
~ history in regard to the world
.,,cv of the German government be-
10 this war. Our witness shall be
,amiral Dewey at Manila in 1898.
Bismarcks plans in the sos for
.so acquisition of German colonies
,od already provoked friction with
.,o United States. in 1873 the
,uorican government had secured
,ha harbor of Pago-Pago in Samoa
,rom the regning king as a naval
,,otion Some time afterward Ger
u,ons raised their flag at Apia and
aoc,ared the Samoan islands a Ger
man possession. American agents
,hore announced an American pro-
t0ctorate. The two governments dis
svoved the acts of their agents, but
Germany set up pretender against
the native king who was friendly to
tho m uligh T;,.1
war broke out in 1885, and America
England and Germany sent ships to
Samoa. A German corvette trained
its guns upon the native loyalists
But Commander Leary of the Amer
ican squadron stripped his ship for
action. sailed between the German
shin and the shore and directed his
runs at the German. Then he said
to Captain Fritz:
"If you fire, you must fire through
the ship command. l shall not be
apswerable for the consequences.
This presented the issue of peace
or war to the German captain, as
Dewey in 1898 presented the same
issue to Admiral Diederich. Fritz
dared not accept the challenge, but
steamed away. The Teutonic swag-
ger abated bit, and Bismarck called
conference to talk over the Samoan
affair. He trusted to his skill as a
diplomat to obtain complete German
supremacy over Samoa, but the
American government contended that
Germany. England and America
sht,ld control Samoa Jointly and
America carried its point. This set
tlement was the first failure Bis
marck ever made in negotiation, and
Il ranked with the German govern
ment
Andrew d. White, an admirer OF
Germany, who became our amDassa-
dor there in 1897, has written that
the Sam oan affair increased the hos
hlity which Germany cherished
against the United States. In 1879.
he states, German feeling toward the
United States had been decidedly
friendly, but in 1897 unfriendliness
prevailed widely. Men who stood
high in the universities. who in from
er days had been the warmest friends
to America, had become our bitterest
opponents, and some of their express
sions seemed to point to eventual
war" Early in 1898 an incident at
'HOngkong intensified Germany's i'll
i will.
Emperor William had sent Prince
Henry with a considerable fleet to
China and enjoined him to show the
mailed fist" He did so. The Teu-
tonic officials displayed sym pathy for
Spain, with which America was drift
. ing into war, and contempt for the
United States in every way possible.
At dinner to the officials Of for
G.eign warships. which was attended by
PAamiral Dewey and other Americans,
Prince Henry Intentionally ignored

ARE VICTIMS OF GERMAN HATE
Mutilated German Children Will Find
Haven in the West

When DR.. r. j. Skate was in Poca-
tello, Idaho, last week train of nine
cars carrying mutilated Belgian chill
dren stopped at that place. A num-
Der of railroad men were allowed to
go through the cars and were entire
ly unneryed by what they saw, weep
ing like children as they came from
the cars.
The children We're victims of Ger
many's reyengeful feeling toward
Belgium and her determination to
exterminate the nation, root and
branch. Both girls and boys had
their hands mutilated and in some
cases cut off, the boys being untitled
by the mutilation from ever perform
ing military service. The girls hands
were destroyed so that they could not
be put into the work of munition
making or other wartime activities,
The boys had been unsexed. Three
Red Cross nurses were in charge of
each car load of children.
they are the most pitiful of all
the flotsam and jetsam which the
war waves have cast upon Am erican
shores. American hearts are open to
them and their condition will be
ameliorated in every possible way in
the land which is now in the war to
establish in the whole world a sys-
TEN which will make future genera
tions safe from such outrages.

PHEASANTS FOR
WHITMAN COUNTY

The initial shipment of Chinese
pheasants from the new state game
farm now in course of construction
at Walla Walla is to be sent to Whit
man county within a short time, ac-
cording : to announcement made by
State Game Warden L. II. Darwin
The birds are said to be a splendid
looking lot and will be liberated by
County Game Warden Howard in
those places insuring them the larg-
est amount of protection for the en-
suing few months. The 1917 ses-
sion of the legislature made an ap-
preparation of $4,000 for the estab-
lishment of game farm at the state
penitentiary at Walla Walla under
the direction of l.. H. Darwin, state
fish commissioner and state game
warden
Washington sportsmen are fortu-
nate in having an opportunity to
have convict labor employed in game
propagation. This saves them thou
sands upon thousands of dollars.
Also it insures a steady replenish-
ment of the supply. This is the first
state in the Union to undertake game
propagation by convict labor, but
several other states are said to be
preparing to follow the example.

COMMISSION DELIBERATES;
GRAIN BUYERS FRET
Local Grain Buyers Out of Market
While National Price-EiXing Conn
mission Argues Over Price

While the national price-fixing
commission named by President Will
son to determine a fair price for the
1917 wheat crop is celebrating at
Washington with the indication of
an early agreement on the price to be
paid the farmers for the cereal, the
local grain buyers are entirely out of
the market and are growing i'm
patient under the delay in the price
fixing operations. The farmers also
are growing fretful and are anxious
ly awainting news from the commits
sion. Associated Press reports state
that the price TO be named by the
commission will be between So and
$3.50 in all probability, on a basis
of No. Northern wheat. A fixed
price on a 81 basis at the Chicago
terminals would mean that the Pa
louise farmer would receive probably
SLIGO for his wheat, the difference
representing the difference in grade
of wheat and the freight charges to
Chicago.
Local warehouse and elevator men
have been asked by the government
to affix to all their grain receipts the
government clause calling for the
sale of the cereal within 30 days.
The clause is as follows:
ut is agreed that if the grain rep
resented by this receipt shall remain
in storage beyond the period of 80
days after the date hereof, the under
signed warehouseman is authorized
to sell the same or to ship the same
to the nearest terminal market for
sale for the best price obtainable, and
shall pay over the proceeds to the
holder of this receipt, less lawful
storage and other charges"

WANT CREDIT FOR ENILSTMIENTS

During the past week recruiting
officials have been working in Whit
man county and several enlistments
have been secured from men includ-
ed in the second call issued by the
local board. Under the ruling of the
War Department no county can re-
ceive credit for enlstments made
after July | but it would appear that
under the existing circumstances
men of CONSUMPTION age and included
in the current call should be accred-
tied to the county's quota, inasmuch
as these men would inevitably be Sc
lected by the draft board if they did
not enlist voluntarily. The board on
Monday wired to Governor Lister
asking that he take the matter up
with the proper authorities Col
