CHEWERS' CHEEKS WILL
BULGE WITH THE WEED

Saloniki, Dec. 5.-The opening up
of Bulgaria to the allies has caused
the release of s6,O0O,O0O worth of
tobacco in the
towns of Seres, Drama and Kavalla
on the Greek coast Of the Aegean
sea bordering Turkey. occupied by
the Bulgars until their surrender.
The transportation Of this supply
may materially affect the shortage in
high-grade tobacco.
Since the beginning OF the war
huge new acreages in Greek Mace
donia have become the principal to-
bacco source OF Europe. The Greek
crop has increased rs per cent dur.
ing the war. The labor comes main.
ly from skilled Turkish growers who
escaped from Smyrna and European
Turkey to produce tobacco in Greece

When asked regarding the conserva-
ton Of paper on the part Of state print

gested that steps would probably be
taken In the near future to curtail the
printing Of city manuals until after the

that eventually Liberty loan commit

gress who heretofore have invari-
ably assented to every move propos-
ed by the administration for the
speedy prosecution of the war,
voiced their disapproval of leaving
congress in session without q presi-
dent, stating that the president,
while In transitu and during his stay
in Europe, would not be president in
fact.
1t would seem to an independent
thinker that there is a little unreas-
onableness on both sides, with the
scales of justice tipping in favor of
the congressman who protested.
These men, the majority Of them, do
not object to the president attending
the peace conference providing he
permit Vice President Marshall to
act as president during his absence,
But here is where Wilson displays
an ultra-mania for retaining su-
preme power. Vice President Mar
shall was given to understand by his
chief that his ideas or assistance
were not needed-and Marshall
meekly acquiesced.
President Wilson's admirers as
sert that the allies and "our boys
over there" have been fighting for
the famous IA points, claiming that
they cover everything" while the
republicans and independents affirm
that the soldiers have been fight
ing to crush Prussian militarism."
Thus far, no one seems to under
stand just what the IA points mean.
but the president may fully explain
that at the conference.
Some voice their distrust that the
president Is going for the purpose OF
acting as sort Of referee between the
allies and Germany, but that is hard
ly probable. However, Wilson's re-
buff to Marshall, in declining his
services or assistance in any manner
while abroad, brings forth the ques-
ton, why should We have vice
president-what is he for?" Some
say he must act only in case Of the
death Of the president-and appar-
emily Wilson is seeing to 1t that this
theory is carried out.

THE FLU"

The influenza situation is not only
stirring the people OF Grants Pass,
but the same conditions-the dis
agreements and whipsawing-is in
evidence in many cities. The Spo-
kane schools have again closed be-
cause of the epidemic, and due to a
renewed outbreak of the disease the
schools of Portland and Medford
may close for the second time.
The public schools of Grants Pass
are still open, which meets the ap-
proval of some, while others are
keeping their children at home and
frown at the health officers for not
clamping the lid down again on
schools and public meetings. Some
doctors report many cases of the
disease, others say there are but
few. Some physicians say the cases
reported are now serious, others as
sert that there is no immediate dan
ger. In the meantime the citizens
are "up in the air." so to speak, not
knowing what to think of the situa-
ton. 1t would seem that the SER
iousness Of the disease could be bet
ter determined.
In speaking of the epidemic in
Portland, the Oregonian says:
1T would be strange, if that aftel
every Portland physician has treated
and observed many cases Of influ
enza, a physicians conference coul'
not agree approximately upon tn
communication period. And tn
character of the epidemic calls 70

100000 AMERICAN
TROOPS OVERSEAS
Every Assurance Now That
Pershing Will Have Million
Men Early in July

Washington, June 23.--General Pey-
ton c. March, chief Of the army gem
eral staff, announced a week ago that
the United states had sent more than
100000 soldiers overseas. Saturday
General March made the statement
that the number Of American troops
sent overseas exceeded 100000. Two
weeks ago Secretary Baker said more
than 100000 had gone over. There is
every assurance that the force under
General Pershing will comprise 1,O0o.-
900 men i'm July.
The statement Of the chief Of staff
was made at his regular weekly con-
ference Saturday morning with news
paper men.
General March made the reassuring
statement that the United States Ia
about five months ahead Of it's pro-
gram" 1t was last January that Sec
rotary Baker told the Senate commit
tee on military affairs that 100000
American troops would be overseas
"early In 1915" At that time II war
generally accepted that early in 1918"
meant by July I. and the lack OF prog
ress made in transporting troops to
Europe in the first few months Of the
year bore out that impression. Since
the beginning of the intensive move
ment Of American troops overseas the
accomplishment in that direction has
been little short Of marvellous. This
intensive movement has been going OF
for few months only. but more has
been done In the way Of shipping SOL
diers overseas In that brief period
than during the ontire prior time since
the United States became a party to
the conflict
