GERMANY PREPARING
FOR DEFENSIVE WAR
FORT|FY|Nc THE Rhine
Kaiser Tells Subjects War Is
Liable To Be Carried
Into Germany.
By J. w. T. Mason



New York, Aug, 24.--The woeful
news is at last beginning to spread
among the German people that an in
vasion Of Germany is the inevitable
outcome Of Americas unprecedented
accomplishment in pouring soldiers by
the million into Europe.
The German army was passed TO the
defensive last month when America =
strength permitted Marshal Foch to
wrest the initiative from Won linden
burg, The German people are now like
wise passing to the defensive. Germany
is realizing the kaiser cannot win the
war. Evidcnce is accumulating that
Won Hindenburg' S retreat before Mar
shal Foeh 5 incessant assaults is beeOm-
ing known among the German people
for its true significance.
The German government has taken
to the offensive also, before its own
people, by making known the fact that
over q million and a quarter American
soldiers are now in France. The Ho-
henzollerns dare not longer keep up
the deception that America does not
count The danger Of the Rhine fall
ing TO the American armies is TOO
grave.
The sudden frankness of the kaiser
is a policy Of despair. The Rhine area
must now be put in state Of defense
and the German people willy-nilly
must be told what these activities
mean. No longer is Won Hindenburg
planning conquest The German general
staff is no wplanning how TO fight a
defensive campaign over German ter.
ritory which is destined TO taste, like
Belgium and France, the horrors and
desolatioa Of modern warfare
The terrible fact is now presented 10
the German people that though there
are million and a quarter Of Ameri-
as vanguard in France, they are not
being used in the present fighting
Where are the Americans For what
purpose are they being held backg To
these despairing questions, there is bui
one answer possible for the German
people The Americans are assembling
to carry the war into Germany. No
modern, first class over has ever be-
fore been confronted BY so desperate
situation as this fact signifies. Ger.
many is beginning to know il. The
kaiser is the first to have heart trou-
bic.

SH|PYARD WORKERS
DEMAND DOLLAR AN
HOUR FOR SERVICES
Leaders Present Demand To-
day To United States
Shipping Board.

Washington, Aug. "a. - A country
wide standard wage of 81 an hour has
been demanded by skilled workmeR of
the American shipyards.
Leaders Of several international crafts
late yesterday formally presented the
demands to the labor adjustment com.
mittee of the United States Shipping
board.
The demands came after series Of
conferences held secretly among uaion
leaders, j. was learned officially.
Included in the demands for increases
of pav are provisions for half holiday
every Saturday of the year, and double
pay for all overtime.
The ship workers seek also to obtain
a 10 per cent bonus for night work in
shops.
The movement Of the unions for a
standard wage came as a surprise 10
officials here. All the workmen have
agitated a uniform wage nearly a year,
i was believed they have been shown
where such an agreement might work
to their detriment. II was feared htre
that these demands would precipitato
discomfort among other labor unions.
Frequent complaints from others than
those employed by the shipyards have
indicated that the belief was that tha
ship work men were paid higher Ia

TO INITIATE BILL
ADDING SS4O,O()O
TO 1920 TAX LEVY
Tax Commission Decides It
Will Take This Sum To
Run The State.
PROFESSIONS FOR NEW
BUILDINGS LEFT OUT
Cuts Made In Practically All
Theoretical Budgets Sub
mitted.

A bill to add 100000 10 the regular
state tax levy next year will be in
i.iated by the state tax commission
for submission to the voters at the
general election in November.
AT meeting of the tax commission
YESTERDAY afternoon il was decided
that sum at least would be needed to
meet the increased cost in state gov
ernment.
Budgets from all the state institu-
tions, departments and other state aid
ed activities, submitted to the tax
commission totaled $9,5l5.437, which
was $2,065,4S6 in excess of the con
income of the state in the
next two years from regular channels.
BY providing fer an additional
$940,000 the tax commission cut the
excess requests little more than half
If the kotcrs approve the $4,000
additional levy, the total state tax for
1919 win still be lower than il was in
1914, when the state taxes amounted TO
$4,l65,000 for the year, it is pointed
out.
In reducing the excess requests for
funds, the commission practically elm.
mated all provision for new buildings
State Treasurer Kay strongly objected
to this, as he said taxpayers expected
TO pay highe' taxes, the same as they
are paying higher prices for everything
else, and provision should be made for
buildings. He voted, however, with
the other three members of the commits
sion for the $4,000 levy, but made
the statement that he wanted il under
stood that this levy was for 1919 only
and a special election should be htld 10
vote an additional levy for 1920, thus
providing greater sum for state pur-
poses.
Secretary Of State 0lcott prior 10
the meeting had gone over the indi
vidual budgets and made such cuts
as he considered proper and they were
adopted BY the commission almost with
out exception.
As the situation now is, If the voters
approve the 100000 extra levy, the
legislature will have $s.3S9,95l to
spend. If the law makers want TO
spend more than that they must pro-
vide for special election to vote
another additional tax or expect de-
ficiencies to be created.
The budgets considered By the tax
commission are not official They
may be altered before they 20 to the
legislature. The official budgets will
be submitted TO the secretary Of state
later in the year and be will prepare
the official budget for the legislature.
In arriving at conclusion as to
the amount Of additional funds needed,
the tax commission made the following
theoretical cuts in the various bud

Washington, Aug 24.-When Chief
or Staff March predicted a 1919 vie.
tory with 100000 American army
next June, he was delivering "eold
blooded American military opinion. I"
1t was no spread-eagle boast or
claim.
1t was based upon confidence in
American soldiers-on confidence in,
spired by serving with them and be-
side them.
The general assured members of the
press today that his statement to the
senate military committee was the de-
hberate military opinion.
At the same time he revealed that
the nation has now passed the 1900 .000
mark IN its program of 100000 afield
by next June.
March pounded home the thought
that next year IS the victory year,
provided America furnishes the man

heartedly His confidence in victory

soldiers, is having added inspiration
from returning officers. As he put il,

he said, "and the American soldier

Thirty-fiye hundred prisoners were

Another unpublished incident he mar

In response to specific questions,
March located the following divisions

Largest Yield Of Fruit On Re-
cord May Swamp Short
Handed Canneries.

One million pounds of Bartlett pears
will be harvested this season from the
Wallace orchards in Polk county Just
across the river from Salem. Last year
about 100000 pounds was the season 5
crop This difference gives a general
idea of the immense pear crop in this
section of the valley perhaps the lar
gest yield ever known.
The big problem now with the can
neries is the question of labor. With an
increase of labor over the present
force of 300, the Hunt Bros. Co.. of
Salem will do business more than
twice that of any former year in the
canning of pears
Although this is but the first week
Of pear canning season the Hunt can
merry now has employed more than 800
mostly women, and there is work easily
for 100 more As W. G. Allen, manager
of Hunt Bros. Co., explained women
can handle the work during the pear
season as the big problem is that of
peeling and so far no machine has been
invented that can satisfactorily do the
work.
The Hunt Cannery will pack the 500
tons from the Wallace orchard in addi-
ton to that offered from the various
pear orchards in the two counties, run.
ming the total pack, under favorable
working condition mp close to one and
one half million pounds of pears.
The pay roll of the cannery during
the pear season will run from $500
to $500 week and the season will last
fully five weeks. The grower this year,
selling on the present market win aver
age from $40 to $4s ton.
Evergreen blaekberries, the picking
Of which will continue until frost or
the rains, will also bring an immense
amount Of money into the city. The
canneries are paying six cents a
pound. compared to four cents last
year. Piekers are now paid from 2i2
cents to three cents a pound and the
big corp through this part of the val
ley viii bring thousands of dollars in
to the poeketbooks of the people of
Marion and Polk counties. With ever
green blaekberries the problem is the
same as pears, mostly a question Of la
Dor as to the amount the canneries will
put up.
As in mos. Lines of fruits and packs,
the government has given orders to
eanneries as to the amount that shall
be set aside for government use and
with the Hunt Cannery, the amount
will probably equal one half of this
seasons output.
For the man who intends to make a
living from berries. it has been sug-
gested that he should have on his tract,
gooseberries with the picking about the
middle of May. Then strawberres,
which come in for marketing usually
about June |. Loganberries and rasp-
berries should also be included at this
crop will require picking about July
|. continuing for several weeks. There
should be some tame blackberries that
would require picking about August Is
and then finally the evergreen black
berries, which ripen about the middle
Of August and are good picking until
frost or the rainy season sets in. Ac-
oOrding to this arrangement on the
berry tract there would be almost con-
tinuous picking from the middle Of
May until the frost or rains put an end
TO the evergreen blackberry season.
