The battles to be fought after the war
are more stupendous and momentons
than those now being waged, great as
they are. The remapping of Europe,
the funding of national debts, the lower
ing of the high cost of living, the trans
fer of labor from the products of war to
the actual needs of peace. the matters Of
Encouragement of international COM
merce. provision for employment Of
several millions Of men released from the
army and navy, government ownership
as necessity Of war returned to original
owners, the relations of capital and la
Dor, are but few of the issues that will
face us when peace comes. And as the
war is being developed, America as an
unprejudiced and impartial party, and as
the greatest of all the contending nat
ions, will naturally become the arbitra-
tor in most of these questions, The rest
Of the allied nations have special inter-
ests and we will have to Judge between
them. The victories are greater than
those Of war, but it looks as though
Uncle Sam will have considerable war
business on hand for many years after
peace is declared.
Germany has borrowed practically all
its immense war debt from its own
people. 1t is a curious financial ques-
tion as to how much Germany owes.
In other words how much may man
become indebted to himself? In the
final analysis Germany has simply been.
furnishing about all its labor and pro-
ducts to Germany, and Germany owes
Germany for the money value Of these
products. The same thing is true Of the
world at large. The world has been;
furnishing the food and munitions and
in the final analysis pays itself back in
money. The real fact is not only Ger
many but the world has. been for four
years simply squandering its substance
and destroying its real assets without
pay. Those enormous national debts
only express the value Of part of
the destruction. There is nothing Of
value to show for the debts incurred. II.
is all waste. Instead of production i'll
has been destruction in all these four
years Of war.

zone clause of this oath may have
clipped your memory" bald the court,
beginning his charge to the defendent.
.''It is found at the beginning Of the
end Of the oath Of allegiance. You re-
nounced and abjured allegiance to Ger
many and the emperor of Germany and
promised you would bear true faith to
the United States. That meant that
you would grow new soul as soon as
you could and put aside your German
soul. Have you done thatP I don't
think you have. You have cherished
everything German and stifled every
thing American. You have prayed and
preached and sung in German. Your
body has been in America. but your life
has been in Germany. II you set down
in Prussia today you would be in COM
plete harmony with your environment.
You have influenced others under
your ministry to do the same thing. A
good many Germans have been before
me during the last month. They have
lived IN this country like yourself ten,
twenty, thirty. forty years. They had
to give their evidence through an inter-
prefer, and as you looked at them there
was written all over every one of them:
MADE in Germany That mark stands
there today as bright and as fresh as
the inscription on new coin.
II do not blame you" continued the
court. II blame myself, blame my
country. We urged you to come; we
welcomed you; we gave you opportunity;
we gave you land; we conferred on you
the diadem of American citizenship, and
then we went away and left you.
"We have paid almost 20 attention to
what you were doing, and now the
world war has thrown powerful search
light upon us and we find all over the
United States Little Germanies, Little
Austrias, Little Italys, Little Norways
and little Russias.
Y "These people have thrown q circle
around themselves and instead OF keep
ing their oath to grow American souls
they have cherished and perpetuated
everything foreign.
The figure of my country stands be-
side you today, and it says to me, don't
blame this man alone-I am partly to
blame. Punish him for his offence, but
let him know there is new era coming
in; punish him to teach him and the like
of him and all who have been misled by
him and his like that change has come
and that there must be an interpre-
tation anew Of the allegiance. 1t has
been nothing in the past but formula
of words-lt must in the future be made
living characters, incorporated in the
heart Of every foreigner who comes to
us seeking citizenship. They must be-
gin at once, all over again, to cherish
American thoughts, American history
and American ldeals.'
THAT means something to be done in
your daily life, not simply that you won't
take up arms against the United States
ifsit goes to war. IL means you will live
for the United States and cherish and.
grow an American soul. It means yon

NEW HOME CARDS WILL
REPLACE THE OLD ONES

Portland, Oct. IA big food

will be to pledge all Oregon families
to a strict observance of the new
conservation program and to hang
the new Hoover Home Card" in ev-
cry home is announced for the week
beginning October 2S by Federal
Food Administrator w. B. Aver.
simultaneously drives will be car
ried on in all other states.
This will be national cam
paign", said Mr.. Aver, ''and because
the most conscientious cooperation
of every American family is needed
in saving the 100000 tons OF
foodstuffs that will be required by
overseas demand during the coming
year, it is important. The new home
cards are now being printed and will
be in the hands of county food ad-
ministrators and their distributing
organizations in time for a system
attic and thorough distribution dur
ing the week beginning October 2S.
Similar methods to those used last
year will be utilized, the public
schools being an important factor in
reaching the homes of the state. The
new card will bear the official en-
blem and will set forth in detail the
definite conservation duties Of each
family and member thereof Each
family pledged to strict observ-
ance of the new conservation pro-
gram will receive one of these cards,
which are to be hung in the home.
1t is important that every member of
every family should realize the i'm
portance of his or her individual sup
port of the food administration and
rigidly observe every tenet Of the
new conservation program as set
forth on this card"
The food administration first
"home card" was distributed during
the week of October 20. 1917, just a
year previous to the coming drive.
All those old cards are to be taken
down and destroyed, and by Sunday

A COUNTRY WHERE DEATH Turks IN

Behind American lines in France,
Oct. 12-Nothing is real in the great
American camouflage station here.
All is deception.
Huge willow trees like those in
Flanders with trunks two feet In di-
ameter and mass of sprouting
branches at the top are steel tubes
designed to hide an observer. Even
on close inspection they looked like
real trees to The Associated Press
correspondent who visited the sta
tion and, with the commandant, ex-
plored their mysterious underground
recesses.
They were Of plaster cloth wound
about the central steel tube and with
pieces OF real bark fitted around the
trunk. A small gauze orifice. paint
ed to match the bark, was not not
Iced until pointed out by the officer.
This was for the observer standing
within the steel core or the tree.
Ten feet away the turf opened, dis
closing a passage with steps leading
to tunnel and thence to the base OF
the tree. 1t was tight fit in this
tree trunk, but from the gauze orr
flee one had sweep of the whole
nearby country.

along country roads, was noticed

STILL RAGING
IN U. s. ARMY CAMPS

Washington. Oct. 12-The epidemic
of Spanish influenza, which has
reached practically every section of
the country, continued today with no
signs of abatement.
Detailed reports as to its spread
among the civilian population were
not available at the public health
service bureau today, but officials
said nothing had been received to
indicate that the malady had even
reached its peak.
New cases of influenza in army
camps showed a slight decline in
the "a hours ended at noon today.
but pneumonia cases increased over
yesterday. Influenza cases reported
numbered 12,024, pneumonia cases
ASA and deaths S92. Yesterdays
reportes showed 1891 new cases of
influenza, 2,797 new cases of pneu-
monia and $50 deaths.

MILLS, ALLEGEDL. WV.
IS TRIED AT PORTLAND

Sheriff Lewis left Thursday for
Portland. where he went as a witness
in the case of w. J. Mills, an alleged
member of the I. w. W., and who
formerly worked at Swede Basin,
near this city. 1t is said that Mills
is conducting his own case. He is
charged with having made disloyal
utterances in violation of the espion-
age act, the charge reading, for max
ing "disloyal, profane. scurrilous
and abusive language about the gov
ernment OF the United States and its
administrative officials" 1t is the
opinion of those well informed on
the case that Mills will receive q
very stiff sentence.
