Germany Flushing reinforcement

Germany Rushing Reinforcements
WASHINGTON. June A.-fn the
wake of news that Italians have
crossed the Piave and have the Aus
trains in complete rout. Italian and
American military officials today eau
toned against premature hopes Of a
complete victory.
I According to information received
both by this government and the en-
bassy here, the Germans are now
fully awake to the Austrian peril and
are rushing increasing numbers of
Germans to stem the Austrian re-
verse The situation in Italy continues
to have many dangers, it was stated.
Additional advices on Austrian m
ternal conditions have caused the
state department to alter somewhat
it's original view Of food conditions
there It now appears to the DEPART
ment that internal conditions are
actually grave and not overdrawn by
press accounts.
The Vienna bread ration for manual
workers has been cut to Ito grams
weekly (about thirty ounces), accord
ing to Swedish press reports received
by the state department today. ALI
others receive $50 grams.
Other aIlotments are:
500 grams of potatoes. 125 grams OF
bran flour, one egg, 200 grams of
meat, $50 grams of sugar.
In south Austria the bread situation
is even more desperate for there is no
regular allotment.
Military men, however, while adj
hitting there must be economic dis
tress, advise that it is not we'll to
count too much on an Aus TRAN reyolu-
ton unless the Italian success be-
comes real big victory
Home Lines Broken.
[By william G.. Shepherd, Written for
the United Press.1
WASHINGTON, June 24.-The Boil
shevilzi doctrine has spread into Aus
tria
What Lenine and Trotsky started In
Russia is working in the Austrian
army. It is a doctrine that takes hold
il a hungry and down trodden land
and Austria, as can be seen by the
food riots in Vienna, is sufficiently
hungry to consider the preachment of
Bolsheviksm The tremendous mil
itary feat OF the Italian army is not to
be discredited, in any way. But it is
only fair to say that the Russian doc
trine has had its part in what has hap
pened along the Piave. The once Boil
sheviki-tricked Italians have done as
fine a thing in coming back and put
ting victory before Bolsheviki beliefs
as they have done even in military
way. Their sanity and fidelity is prov
en-.
The front line trenches in this war
are really back at home If the line
breaks back home, the second line
trenches, UP where the guns are
sounding, viii break also, just as the
Austrian firing line has faded away
before the revengeful Italian smashes.
Italy has played magnificent part;
she has more than evened the score
with Austria But the Russian doc
trine of the rights of separate peoples
to govern themselves; and the Ameri-
can doctrine of government only with
consent of the governed, has weaken
ed Austria as fighting force.

GERMANS CAPTURED
ONLY VAST DESERT

More than 200 villages are mark
ed on the'map in the region through
which the Huns have driven during
the last month. But the capture of
those villages mean nothing. There
are no villages there. The traveller
Sould not even suspect their existence
If it were not for the signposts at
the cross roads bearing the name of
the hamlet which once stood on the
spot. In the conquest of this re-
gion the Germans have taken moth
ing of military value. They them
selves, in retreatlng actoss it a year
ago, blotted out everything which
might have been Of use to human be-
ings.
The British made no effort to for
tlfy and hold this area in case of a
new German drive across it. Except
for the necessary buildings to house
their troops and except for road re-
pairs to render motor communca-
tion possible, the British left the re-
gion in the state of utter devastation
in which they found it following the
first battle of the Somme.
Places like those marked Estress,
Poeuilly, Brie, Athies, Tincourt, Roi-
sci and Buire may we'll have been
taken by German troops, but those
places are nothing but heaps of red
brick dust and few piles of shat
tered stones, practically useless even
for machine gun posts.
The German plan seems to have
been to catch the British armies in
this devastated area and engage them
in a war of movement in the open
where there was no cover of any
kind. But the British forestalled this
trick by extricatlng themselves with
out more than normal losses, and TAX
ing up prepared positions still furth-
er back.
The territorial conquest of the
Germans since March 21 is valueless.
They have simply occupied a vast Sa-
hara of their own making.

gon. He will work under DR.. ]. W.
Hotson, Of the University of Wash
ington, who is manager of the moss
dressings of the northwest division
Of the Red Cross.
Oregon share Is 100000 pads
and Prof Sweetser is certain that
the moss can be secured in such large
quantities that double that amount
can be turned out He recently re-
turned from a trip into the Siuslaw
country, where, with the aid, of the
school children and boy scouts Of
Acme and Florence, he was able to
gather 40 sacks of moss. When the
moss has been properly dried it will
be sent to the Red Cross headquart-
ers in Eugene.
An instructor in the making of the
pads will come from the University
of Washington when the materials
have arrived in Oregon. Dressing
from the east will arrive shortly.
According to Prof. Sweetser, the
people in the state are taking a great
deal of interest in sphagnum moss,
as evidenced by the numerous in
auiries he has received concerning
the kind of moss needed. He intends
taking a trip to Tillamook, where
he expects to find good moss from
the bogs along the coast. Astoria
and Newport have also found large
quantities Of the moss from adjacent
bogs and marshes.

THE HOUSE DIVIDED

"a house divided against itself can
not stand"
The words are true in all ages and
with all peoples.
That failure will invariably follow
dsunion is as certain as that sue
cess results from unity OF purpose
and action.
Fortunate, indeed, is that town
that Is blessed with citizenship that
can come together as a unit when
ever the towns interest calls.
It argues we'll for the breath Of
mind OF its citizens that they can see
beyond their purely personal affairs
and catch a view Of prosperity in the
large.
But the real cause of disunion in
the average town Is not that its clti-
zens are so deeply engrossed In their
own personal affairs but that one Is
jealous and envious OF another, one
clique suspicious and distrustful of
another. Not only this, but each Is
really willing to forego any advance
ment II by so> doing the other may
be thwarted. ttt
This is depiorable state Of af-
fairs for any town to fall into. 1t is
sure death TO all progress. and not
only that, but Is invariably the di-
rect cause OF that town being left
behind on the march Of progress.
We are ali aware that all com
munities have their factions and
their divisions Of sentiment and In
terests. We are equally certain that
this fact need In no%ise deter the
town from seixing every opportunity
to further It's interests In every avail
able way "a men could once be
brought to see that BY thwartlng the
interests OF theAtown through their
opposition 10 a faction. they were In

ROOSEVELT TAKES RAP
AT WAR SLACKERS

No American has a right to
nights sleep unless during the day
lie has done something to aid in the
war aginst Germany, was the declara-
ton Colonel Theodore Roosevelt re-
Gently made to Brooklyn, N Y, au-
dience in urging investments in the
Third Liberty loan.
"The man who does not think that
1t was Americas duty to fight for
her own sake, in view of the infamous
conduct of Germany toward us, stands
on level with man who wouldn't
think it necessary to fight in priv
ate quarrel because his wife's face
was slapped" asserted the former
president, prefacing on attack on the
conscientious objector. "The Ameri-
can who Is not now heart and soul
in favor of fighting this war through
to victorious conclusion" said the
colonel, "is a traitor to his country
and to mankind. He is unfit to be a
free man, for his soul is the soul Of
slave"
