The war is over. Not because
the German army is not capable of
fighting another campaign. No au-
thentlc evidence Of collapse in the
army Is yet to be found. Nevcrthe-
less the collapse Of the nation be-
hind the army means that I'm no long
time the army itself must collapse
as did the Russian, the Bulgarian,
and now the Austrian, once the home
front was broken. Such collapse
means only one thing. IL means rev.
OlutiOn, anarchy.
Germany will surrender. The sur
render will not be long delayed. In
my judgment, instead of haggling
over the terms OF the armisticc, Ger
many will abandon the fight i'm the
field and turn all her energies to
the fight around the green table. On
the military side she must surrender
or die.

CU1THROAT TROUT
FOR PALOUSE RIVER

Ten thousand cutthroat trout fry,
from the state hatchery at Walla
Walla were planted in the streams in
the vicinity OF Pullman Monday even
ing. An additional 500 Of the little
fellows were placed in the college
lake Local sportsmen will take
every precaution TO protect the fish
until they are large enough to take
care of themselves, Several years
ago Il few rainbow fry were planted
in the South Palouse above Pullman
and fish as large as Is inches have
been caught there recently. it is
thought that the cutthroat variety
will prove ore adapted to the cOndi-
tons than the rainbows, and within
a few years the local angles should
have good fishing close at hand The
fish were secured by local sportsmen
through the Whitman county game
commission at ColfaX.

fuel on hand at the present time TO
take care of the demands of the citi-
zens of Pullman until February !
was the report OF "a special commit
tee named to investigate the fuel sit
uation, made at the meeting of the
chamber of CONNIE cree on Tuesday.
The committee reported that fully
two-thirds of the citizens have al
ready laid in a supply sufficient for
an ordinary winter. The committee
was continued to make a more COM
plete survey of the situation, especi-
ally insofar as it concerns the posi-
bilities of getting large quantities OF
wood from the mountains in case of
a fuel shortage during the late win
ter months.

PICK Up THE SOLDIERS

Pullman automobile owners who
start on pleasure trips with vacant
seats are being urged by Or. E. A.
Archer and others to pick up enough
soldiers from the State College train
ing detachment to fill the machine.
DR.. Archer presented the matter to
the chamber of commerce Tuesday,
stating that on recent trip to Cob
fax he picked up three of the soldiers,
who thoroughly enjoyed the outing.
never before having visited the Whit
man county seat. 1t takes no more
gasoline, he urged. to carry a full
load than an empty seat. and the
pleasure accorded the soldiers fully
compensates the auto owner for any
little inconvenience that might re-
suit. Automobile owners in some
communities near army camps have
adopted the system of hanging out
signs, Room for a Soldier" and it
is the consensus of opinion that a
similar plan would work to excellent
advantage here. The soldiers are at
leisure Wednesday evenings, SatuT-
day evenings and Sundays, The Her
aid doesn't possess an automobile

charge. Ask for one.

PYTHIANS ENJOY
ANNUAL PICNIC
Over One Hundred Frolic in Weeks
Grove u Guests OF Evening Star
Lodge

The annual Knights of Pythias pic
mic held last Sunday in the Weeks
grove. just south of Pullman, was
largely attended by members of the
order and their families, over 100
partaking of the big picnic dinner
which was served cafeteria style in
the shade fthe trees shortly after
noon. Ice cream and different kinds
Of drinks were served free of charge
throughout the afternoon and many
youngsters lost count of the number
of cones consumed when they ran out
of fingers on which to keep count
Six soldiers from the State College
training detachme nt who are mem
bers of the order were special guests
of the occasion and all of these re-
ported the best time of their stay in
Pullman. The plates of the soldiers
were piled high with delcacies which
are seldom included in Uncle Sam S
bill of fare and they did full justice
to the horde of goodies placed at
their disposal by the Pythian ladies'
The big feature of the afternoon
was the annual baseball game be-
tween the married and single men,
bers of the order With their forces
strengthened materially by the de-
tachmen soldiers the bachelor MEM
bers entertained visions of victory
and sweet revenge for a long series
of defeats. They went into the game
with a vengeance, and for the first
two or three inning enjoyed a one
score lead over their married broth
ers, but in the fourth inning the old
timers cayorting around the bases for
the "henpecks" found their baseball
legs and played brand of bseball
that cused the bachelors to desert
the field in disorder, FORGETTING the
game to the fiye-time victorious mar
red men.
The features of the game were the
playing of d. c. Dow at second base
for the winners, and the heavy hit
ting of Dr.. Kim zey and DR.. F. l.. Ball.
DR.. Kinney was credited with home
run clout, while DR.. Ball hit with a
terrific swing even though he could
not touch the ball. Umpire j. N.
Scott and Scorer w. l.. Grenawalt
also played excellent ball for the win
ners.
All in all the picnic was probably
the most successful ever held, despite
the fact that 80 of the most enthusi-
astic members of Evening Star are
now chasing the Huns back to Berlin.

WILL MEET WHEAT DEMANDS

Information concerning the pres
ent status of overseas wheat ship
ments received by the State College
from the u. s. Food Administration
gives assurance that the urgent re.
quests made early this year by for
eign allies for 100000 bushels of
wheat more than had been planned,
will be met by sending to Europe TO-
100000 bushels in excess of the
amount of wheat requested.
1t is stated further that this extra
shipment has been made possible
mainly through the cuts that have
been made into 1.-The home wheat
loaf" of the United States. Every
possible precaution and economy in
harvesting, protecting and making
use of the wheat crop of Washington
this year is urged to help meet the
future demands which the overseas
nations and armies allied with the
United States must make upon the
American wheat-grower.
The same communication conveys
the information that American food
shipments overseas to allied nations
and armies, including the American
army, and to different relief organi-
cations, the past year have reached
the value of $1.4O0, 900. 900.

INSURANCE Talk with DOWNEN|
WILL CLOSE SHOP
TO HELP HARVEST

The cities of Pomeroy, COlviile,
Dayton, Wenatchee and Waterville,
as well as Pullman, have indicated to
State Farm Help Specialist j. C.
Scott their determination to close up
shop so that everybody living therein
can get out into the harvest fields, If
such action is necessary to save the
crops. The carpenters organization
of Walla Walla has voluntarily of
fered to lay down tools if necessary,
when the brunt of harvest is on, and
go out to save the grain, hay, fruit
and other crops on farms in the Wal
la Walla valley.
MIR Scott states that the practical
ways to increase the supply of farm
help sufficiently to meet the harvest
emergency need include the postpon-
ing of all but absolutely necessary
public or private improvements; the
rigid enforcing of vaganracy laws so
that no idlers may be allowed to loaf
through the harvest season; the shut
ting up of rural towns, possibly. dur
ing the busiest part of the harvest;
and the encouraging of city workers
with some farm experience to give
up their regular employment for
time sufficient in the harvest season
TO enable them to get out in the
country for work on the farms.
