The writer says that he was talking
"a few days ago with a Wen known
statesman no has had many oppor-
tunities during the war and espec-

press his views of the kaiser" And
he thus summarizes what the wen
known statesman told him:
my informant says that the kings
feelings and expressions are So
strong that they could hardly be re-
produced verbatim, but that the sub
Z stance of them is that the kaiser is
the greatest criminal in the world
today; that he is directly responsible
for the outrages on the Belgian and
French civil - population; for the

Of passenger and hospital ships and

ton of works of art: of historic
buildings; of beautiful towns, and the

Spanish influenza, which appeared
In Spain in May, has swept over
the world in numerous epidemics
as far back as history runs. Hip
pocrates refers to an epidemic in
412 B. c.. which Is regarded by many
to have been influenza. Every century
has had it's attacks. Beginning with
1881, this country has had five cpl
denies. the last in 1889-90.
There is no occasion for panic-in-
fluenza or grip has a very low per-
centage OF fatalities-not over one
death out of every four hundred cases
according to the N. c. Board Of
Health. The chief danger lies In
complications arising. attacking prin-
cipally patients in a run down con-
dition-those who don't go to bed
soon enough, or those who get up
too early.
THE TREATMENT
Go to bed at the first symptoms nor
only for your own sake but to avoid
spreading the disease to others-take
purgative, eat plenty of nourishing
ing food, remain perfectly quiet and
don't worry. Nature herself Is the only
cure" for influenza and will throw
off the attack If only you conserve
your strength. A little Quinine, As
pirin or Dover's Powder may be
given by the physicians directions to
allay the aching. Always call q ply
stefan, since the chief danger OF grip
is in it's weakening effect on the sys-
tenn, which allows complications to
develop. These are chiefly pneumonia
and bronchitis, sometimes inf.amma-
ton OF the middle ear, or heart affec-
tons. For these reasons. it = very
important that the patient remain IN

ier of the bank.
The robbery and murders took place
between 1880 and 'clock last night
Shortly after O clock regimental sen
try patrolling near the bank heard
grOans from within. He entered and
saw the bodies lying ON the floor.
He notified the military police and
Captain j. G. Smallwood, acting pro
vost officer, went to the bank with q
squad of men.
A Gordon of guards was thrown about
the camp and police in all cities within
a radius of 100 miles notified.
The army officers are strong in af
firming their conviction that no soldier
was connected with the crime, but are
taking every precaution to prevent any
men leaving the cantonment. An in
spection of all men and all barracks is
being made.
Police dogs, stationed at the camp
followed the trail of the men from the
bank to the interurban station, where
the trail was lost.
AT about the time the crime was com.
mitted, four men were seen going along
the road ,one of them carrying a suit
case. All were dressed in civilian clothes
and it is believed they were the men
guilty Of the crimes.
The robbers chose a time when thSRC
were fewer chances of discovery than
usual. The day had been the coolest OF
the winter at the camp and there was
but little movement out of doors. Pat
rolling had been reduced to a minimum
and it was probably easy for the rob
bers to enter and leave the bank with
out detection.
1t was impossible early today to learn
whether the robbers secured large
amount or not. 1t was reported, how
ever, that several thousand dollars in
cash and a considerable amount Of lib
erty bonds had been taken.
The bank was a private institution

ers of Kansas City.

Y. W. c. A. Association
Holds Annual Meeting;
Years Work Successful

The Young Woman s Christian Asso-
citation held their annual meeting last
Tuesday at the association rooms, where
the various committee reports were read.
The general secretary, Miss Cleveland
read report that demonstrated the as
soclation had a successful year. The
employment department found positions
for 372 girls and women during the year
1917.
Every one knows the prices of food
stuffs advanced several times last year.
Nevertheless great effort is being put
forth to keep down the expenses so
the young women who dine at the cafe
terra will not feel the high cost of liv-
ing.
The number of lunches served last
year were 16,4l5-a marked increase
over the number served in 1916, which
shows that the young women appreciate
the economic efforts of the association.
Of this number 1906 were served in
December, the banner month of the
year. 668 were fifteen cent, 1853 ten cent
and 178 were five cent lunches.
Mrs. q. A. Park, president, stated that
the people of Salem through their loyal
support appreciate the value of the as
sociation work. Extracts from the re-
port follow:
'tThe Young Women's s Christian As
sociation is an organization for pre-
ventive and constructive work for girls
and young women. Not a mere philan-
thropy, not one group of women work
ing for another, but cooperation, join
ing hands and hearts in common
cause. The Board as we call it is
only another bunch of girls, grown a
little older it may be, perhaps life has
brought some experiences, that ought
to make them older girls, bit wiser
than youth, yet with hearts young and
in sympathy with the girls, and their
problems. We are yoked together in an
organization that we may keep step,
and together climb upward that solidiy
we may ego over the top.

ADoLPH WOLF, PIONEER
DIES AT SILVERTON

Adolf Wolf, aged 81 years, one of the
substantial and well-to-do residents of
this city for the past thirty-four years,
passed quietly away at his home on
North Water street Sunday noon. after
an illness covering but few weeks. Mr..
Wolf had not been himself for several
months, although he continued his daily
habit of visiting his office nearly every
day until about three weeks ago when
he was attacked by severe cold and
was confined to his home. The cold de-
veloped other complications due to his
advanced age which could not be ward
ed off.
Mr.. Wolf was in every sense pioneer
of Oregon. He was born at Frauenkir-
chen, AustrosHungary, in February 1887.
At the age of 26 years, he left his native
land and came to America, and spent
three years in Ohio. In 1896 he came to
the western coast and settled at Inde-
pendence and engaged in the mercantile
business. For some time his was the
lOnly store in the town. He was foremost
in the development and upbuilding Of
his town and it was largely through his
foresight that Independence became a
town on the map of Oregon.
In 1874, Mr.. Wolf disposed Of his
business and property at independence
and moved to Silverton where he pur-
chased a general merchandise store. In
1890 he took his son Julius c. Wolf into
partnership with him and in 1891, to-
gether they erected the Wolf block and
branched out more extensively in their
chosen line of business. In 1899 they sold
their business and became large dealers
and raisers of hops. In his business op-
erations Mr.. Wolf was very successful
and ranked as one of the substantial
men of Marion county. He always took
a keen interest in the development of
Silverton. He at one time held the office
of mayor.
In 1868 Mr.. Wolf was married to
Fannie Kraemer in Portland, Oregon.
They were the parents of three children
namely: julius c. Wolf, associated with
his father in business for many years;
Louis Jacob Wolf, now lieutenant il
the United States army and a daughter
who passed away many years ago.
Deceased was a member of Silyerton

tober, Miss Blanch Gray, the econimic
specialist of the national board sailed
for France to superintend the construc-
tion work there for the association. She
had with her four other secretaries. We
cannot mention all our heroic secre-
taries and nurses who are working to

ally little glimpse of the work of
our sister English association in lex

from the Dardenelles, our workers with
the Y. M. c. AS in their huts, served
the refreshing cups of coffee, with
sandwich, and the cheer in womanly
word given with the message Of Jesus
Christ. A hospital was just over the
wall from the Y. W. G. A. building.
One day lad in pajamas leaped the
wall to find himself confronting a Y.
w. G. A. secretary. He had been wound
ed, and tired of the strain concluded
to take the chance of desertion. Our
secretary persuaded him to enter the
house and over the tea cups, she was
able to show him the folly of failing
his country. He quietly went back to the
hospital and no one the wiser of his
discouraged intention. Our workers are
friends in need. We are not in compe-
tition with Red Cross, it lis hand in
hand. Only we can go a step farther.

"The financial campaign in May,
1917, was carried to a. successful com
pletion under the leadership of Miss
Jane Scott our northwestern field secre-
tary. To the captains of the teams must
be given high cOmmendation, and also

their instructions We are grateful to

sponse, and courtesy shown our workers.
We want to recognize the kindness of

The entire campaign was concluded
more quickly than any of the workers
dared hope, thus proving that the Sa-
fem public is our friend and has Wis

"The Board are freely giving time
and toll, and if the membership will
tell the officers and heads of committees
what can be done to bring greater ef-
ficiency, we know the labor will be
lighter May we all work for larger
membership. We need the cooperation
Of every Christian woman in Salem. Our
work is larger this year than ever be-
fore, we viii meet it in the spirit of
courage and conquestl
"We receive our orders for the com

given duty, making the work a joy,
for the JOY of Our Lord is our
strength. "

Live and live for million years,

With nothing to quench his awful thirst

Served from silver on a golden tray
Served with things both dainty and

Served with everything but things to

With costly linens to lie between,
With covers of down and fillets of lace,
And downy pillows piled in place;

Should cover him, smother him-and
His pillows should cling with the rot

And while God IS stars their vigils keep,
And while the waves the white sands

There should be an anthem in his ears
Ringing and singing and never done
