Paris, Oct 27.--The Flore pavil-

be vacated by the loan department OF
the ministry OF finance which has

safety early in the war.
A few rooms containing sculpture
are the only parts OF the gallery
now open to the public.
Some important tapestries from

taken to Toulouse at the same time
as the Joconde and other rich treas

eating advocate OF war in the early
days OF our connection with the

be considered colored. But his
early attitude. his temperament. his

man, gives his statements added
weight. His is the evidence that is
real, that is Trustworthy. that should

There Ia superabundance OF
vegetables. especially OF potatoes,
but they cannot be shipped to our
allies because they require from four
to ten times the tonnage. OF more
concentrated foods. and the saving
OF ocean tonnage Is one OF the vital
problems OF the war. The food ad-
ministratlon. therefore. urges the
liberal use OF vegetables. and Of
fruit. poultry. fish and other sea
foods. with a larger use OF corn
meal for the purpose Of saving
wheat. As these foods are healthful
and relatively low in price. 1t points
out. the American people are not
asked to endure privation. but mere
ly to change their eating habits. and
to avoid waste.

REAL EVIDENCE


Truly seeing is believing" The
reason which makes the visit of a
number Of congressman to the battle
fronts OF Europe a wise move, is
strikingly examplified in the chang
ed attitude of one of the leading
educators Of the northwestywho has
recently returned from France.
DR.. W. T. Foster. president Of
Reed college. recently went to Eu-
rope as an inspector for the Red
Crbss. He has returned to tell the
people of this country what he saw.
At Portland theater the otha-
night, he gave most graphic and
iliuminative description Of condi-
tions in battle-scarred Europe. It
Is too bad that more Americans
could not have heard him. A strik-
ing incident connected with his talk
is the fact that from the same plat
form. less than two years ago. DR..
Foster had urged America to stay
out OF the war and argued against a
large American navy. Standing in
the same place. he now says:
81 am pacifist. hate war.

don't want to maintain a college. I
don't want my children to grow up,
don't care what happens to the
future Of this country, II all that we
can look forward to is a world at
war. where brute might seeks to
conquer right and civilization is
prostrated by the lust of killing.
But I have returned convinced

autocracy-to crush 1t so completely
that the people will know it is crush
ed. am convinced that the Ger
man purpose is to Germanize and
dominate the world and to destroy
what refuses to be Germanized."
Before DIR. Foster went to Europe
he refused to believe the stories OF
German frightfulness. Now he has
hard work finding words to express
his opinion of them, in fact, of the
entire German spirit.
1t requires a long time for me
to bring myself to believe these
stories were not exaggerated, says
DR.. Foster. But after my trip over
the battle fronts and my observa-
tion and interviews with British and
French soldiers and civilians, and
with German prisoners, ] confess
there is no story of frightfulness too
horrible for me to accept"
or the hatred that Germany bears
this country DR.. Foster says:
"After one grasps the idea behind
Germany and the German people in
starting and waging this war he can
readily understand the frightfulness

the German government have utter
scorn for the weak. who cannot de-
fend themselves, and utter hatred
