APPROACHING END

The terms OF the arnistce granted Austria, we may be
sure, were scarcely less than an unconditional surrender.
Hostiities, according to the dispatches, were to have ceased
at 3 o'clock Monday afternoon. We can rest assured that the
Italians put in a busy Sunday night.
The only thing the Austrian asked was permission to quit,
and the only thing he had to quit was to quit running.
Whatever eXutaton that is felt over the armisticc assur-
eddy is not shared in Italy. 1t has not been long since the
Italian turned the tables on his foe, and only in recent weeks
has he been able to repay in kind the blows that earlier in the
year were intended to put him definitely out of the war. We
can readily appreciate the wish Of the Italian to carry the war
into Austria.
But what Italy failed to gain from further punishment OF
the Austrians she will demand in the peace council, and, best Of
all, she will be in a position to demand and will demand and
should demand.
That Italy has stipulated the necessary safeguards need not
be questioned, and that Austria will observe them no one who
has followed the recent trend of events will doubt.
What Germany will do with regard to the armistice terms
will definitely foretcll the end of the war, and even that may be
a matter of weeks, rather than months. If the terms arc accepted
the war will be over, and il they are rejected the war will be
over soon anyway.
Germany will have learned her lesson and paid for it, 1t
would be unfortunate if other nations should fail likewise to
learn so valuable and expensive a lessor.
Germany will learn that no nation, or combination of
nations, looking tor a war will fail to find it: that any nation
with a block ON its shoulder will get it knocked off sooner or
later that the laws OF humanity, decencv and civilization can.
not be ignored and the consequences evaded,
Germany will learn that oppression will not be foreve,
endured; that small nations must have their rights resnccted
equally with the strong; that murder and destruction ma,
lntmldate, but not subdue, and that the damnable "kultur' ma,
flourish for a little while, but in the end il must perish from the
earth.

THE RESULTS OF ToDAY's ELECTION.

Now that election day is practically over it is proper
to review the situation and make a somewhat definite
The republican ticket will probably win in the state,
although Pierce has a fighting show for governor. He
might have been elected easily because there is such dis
satisfaction with the Withycombe administration and
Senator Pierce is an especially able man and popular
wherever personally known. However, the Chamberlain
West democrats, with the Portland Journal as their or
gan, have thrown down the Pierce campaign in the inter-
est of West for senator, and are evidently trading every
thing to that end which is in keeping with the Chamber
lain idea of ~poloitics. The senator himself arrived in
Oregon yesterday to personally take charge of the final
to put his protege over if possible. This
situation naturally gives Pierce, a minority candidate, an
uphill task to win, or even make a ~creditable showing.
We believe the West campaign will also fail, but it is
difficult to forecast the strength OF erratic politicians.
They are likely always to spring a surprise by the exceed
ingly heavy or exceedingly light vote they poll No par
ticular reason has been advanced why West should be
chosen over McNary, except that President Wilson should
be sustained. Those who advance this argument, how
ever, failing to show how West, as a follower of Senator
Chamberlain, would be likely to stand back of the presi-
dent in his war measures as reliably as Senator McNary
has. That is the weak point in the West campaign. Logic
ally speaking it ought to fail. Still the strength of a man
like West is a particularly difficult thing to measure be-
fore the votes are counted. Chamberlain is evidently
making it a test of his control in Oregon politics.
Besides these two leading places there are no real
contests on the state ticket, except supreme court justice,
wherein three republicans and one democrat are running
and the name of the candidate has to be written in by the
voter. 1t is %anybody's race until the official returns are in.

LOAN THAT FAILED.

Germany's present eagerness for peace probably IS
based as much on financial as military disaster, though
the latter has been very serious. The ninth German loan
was as conspicuous a failure as the Fourth American
loan was a successful contrast with the 100000 600 over
subscribed by our people, the Germans are reported to
have subscribed less than $5O0,000,OO 900, only about one
eighth Of their last loan.
Their military failure has made them realize their
financial peril.
We are accustomed to thinking that we ended our
Civil War with an enormous debt; and so we did, judged
by ordinary standards. But while the debt Of the VICTOR
ious northern states in 1865 amounted to $114 per capita,
the debt of defeated Germany is now more than $500
per capita, and still rising fast.
The Germans have always been buoyed up with the
promise that their war debt would be wiped out by in
IDENTITIES imposed on their beaten foes. Now they have
suddenly awakened to the fact that they are not going
to collect any indemnities-- that on the contrary, they
may be obliged to raise more billions in forced payments
to the nations they have wronged.
So there are accommodating signs of financial panic to
add to other troubles of a disillusioned nation. Currency
is being boarded. The governments credit is gone. Bust
ness is shot to pieces. There are runs on banks. Stock
values are tumbing. All of which adds to the effect OF
the allied offensive, and fans the flames of German revo-
luton.

RIPPING RHYMES
BY Walt Mason
OLD HOME WEEK.

It's Old Home Week in Germany, the boys are COM
ing back! They're sore and tired and verminy, and high
they do not stack. No smiling maids are meeting them
laurels for their brows; no glad voiced sires are
greeting them, and no rejoicing fraus. But, Bitten!
and "Geewhellikens!" the sad eyed people say, "You blam-
ed slab-sided pelicans, why did you run away?" It's Old
Home Week in Germany, but every one looks sour; the
weary soldier Herman, he has made twelve miles an hour;
the guns benin dhim hammering, the allies on his trail,
foemen clamoring, he scorched' DER hill and
dale. But in his native villages the ice tongs are his prize;
they love the Hun who pillages, but not the one who flies.
They love the Hun victorious, to him at any cost, cheyd
welcome give uproarious--the loser gets a frost. No
orators are laundering a lot of phrases fine, no village
bands are laundering through watches on the Rhine.
"Our noble boys ar ehere again" no loyal voters cry; they
weep and order beer again, and drink it with a sigh. It's
Old Home Week in Germany, for warriors who quit; no
kaiser, tinseled, erminey, extends the cordial nit. No
kaiser, windy, sermony, is there to read a pome; it's Old
Home Week in Germany--bu what a welcome home!

But Ruth's gay spirits soon made him

and If he had dined with her.

each other, but because Of the foolish

caused the prideful attitude should

that . he would look at it from hel

tried to hide her disappointment. Brian
was doing something to- increase his eff
ficieney in his office, to save money at
the same time; she must not discourage
him. 1t wasn't the money he would
save that appealed TO her; it was the
idea that at last he was bestirring him
self.
"Never mind, you will be home in
time for the rarebit,' she added
brightly, "Ill not start it until nearly
eleven;" she kissed him good bye and
patted him on the shoulder in a mother

him spend his evenings away from her;
yet she would not say or do a thing to

that Mollie King, whom Brian used to
know, intimately, lived down there, he
had put two and two together and
made four without any trouble. But he
was not a gossip, and had as yet not
mentioned it even to Clara.
