FROM A LEAGUE OF NATIONS
 CATECETSM-
(P. W. Wilson in the New Re-
 public.)

w. W lIbOh III llG NSW Re-
 public.)
 Does not the League of Nations mean universal free trade The an- swer is. no. Many people think that tariffs produce i'll feeling, but at this moment Australia is raising her cus- toms against Great Britain while re- maining within the British Empire and fighting in defense of 1t. In this matter the League does not infringe national sovereignty. At the same time the influence of the League would be valuable in mitigating ex- treme fiscal rivalries and in prevent ing fiscal oppression like that of Aus tria-Hungary of Serbia. It would be for the United States herself to consider the moral and material ad- vantage of raising or lowering her tartffs at time when wages and profits are Inflated. It would be open to the League to devise safe guards of international application against competition by ill-paid la bor. whether Asiatc or otherwise. I ? must here make my own position 2 clear by adding that our experience 2 in England is that low wages are all e.ways expensive. On the whole the as1est paid labor leads to the cheapest Reproduction. The Lancashire cotton atrade is an Illustration.

BREW BEER IN HOMES.
Dry Oregonians Buy Ingre- dients From Drug Stores, Groceries, Bake Shops
 Make Their Own.

Is the Portland housewifes kitchen going to take the place of the saloon and the old family wash boiler to re- place the brewery?
 Consider the Pacific Northwest legally as dry as bone:
 Throughout Washington and Ore gon thousands of families are making their own beer and ale on the kitchen range, law or no law.
 Thousands of men and women who, during the days of unrestricted per sonal liberty, thought of the manu- factute of alcoholic liquors as some thing mysterious, have suddenly dis covered how simple it is to fill the foaming glass.
 In those homes-homes of all classes-the wife is the brewer. and bartender and hubby is served over his own dining room table.
 Thus both prohibition edicts and bootleggers are being ignored with equal complacency.
 It's not legal. according to the letter of the law. Not only must there be no liquor manufactured; there must be none in 8 persons possession. must be none in a persons possession.
 All Arc Guilty.
 Technically, the home liquor manu- facturer is just as culpable as the "bootlegger,' who transports alcohol to the arid population through the medium of suitcase.
 But nobody seems to be aggressively opposing these household breweries and wineries. It is a rather ticklish problem, particularly where the wet and dry sentiment is about even.
 One interesting phase of the near dry situation is the sudden interest, taken by good citizens, in works on brewing and wine" making. The n- braries report an extraordinary call for that sort of literature and the books are circulated with no questions asked.
 Some indication as to the extent of home liquor production is seen in the heavy sale of brewery malt, used in domestic brews. The demand has be- l come so great in @ number of places that bakers are having trouble to get sufficient supply.
 Many firms are giving out recipes for homemade beer, and the ingre- dients are to be had legally at drug and grocery and bake shops. It's all being winked at-if for no other reason, because 1t would be i'm possible to round up and stop the thousands who are making their own" As one prominent Oregon jurist sums it up dryly: eff all the people were put behind the bars who are violating the law by brewing beer and making wine. in their homes there wouldn't be jails enough in the state to hold them."- Portland News.

TODAY's ANNIVERSARY.

The first man to descend the Mississippi to the Gulf was Robert Cavalier, Siour de la Sale, who was born at Rouen, France, 275 years ago today. He settled in Canada at the age of 2S and began his explorations with an attempt to reach China by descending the Ohio river, which he supposed to empty into the'Pacifio. As soon as he discovered that the Ohio flowed into the Mississippi and the lat ter into the Gulf, he formed the pro- ject Of descending the Mississippi to it's mouth. The long voyage was con- cluded after many hardships La

MINING EXPENSES CAUSE RAISE OF
 THE COAL PRICES

The new prices for anthracite coal set by Dr. Garfield fo meet the in- creased labor costs, fits only that condition. The added $LO5 per ton on the mine prices of domestic an thracite does not compare, relatively with price advances by other indus tries where higher costs are met in like way.
 Along with rising costs comes an other. factor in anthracite mining seldom considered by the consumer. It is the necessity of deeper mining when the upper coal beds become exhausted. Water must constantly be removed from the mines, the quantity in some collieries reaching as much as 25 tons of water for each ton of coal mined This propor- ton increases, the deeper the beds are worked.
 As anthracite mining proceeds, year after year, the deeper and thinner seams must be used. This necessitates removal of larger quan- titles of rock, bone and refuse tA get at the coal, Increasing costs go on, accordingly, the deeper the coal is mined. Mining at great depths require more expensive ventilation. As mines grow in area the under ground transportation system of cars, lighting and power with its kindred costs grow more expensive. i've.
 When Dr. Garfield raised the price $1O5 per ton at the mines, he did not include in this rise the cost for the increased operation and up-keep. This is being borne by the industry.

RED CROSS RALLY IN HIGH SCHOOL
 ON NOVEMBER 26

Captain Carl Reiland, an officer of the American Red Cross, will give a public lecture next Tuesday night at the High school auditorium, dealing with his experience in Red Cross work under fire. Accompanying the lecture will be one of the most re- markable motion pictures ever shown in the city-a picture in which many of the scenes were taken under ac- tual shellire, not the mimic kind seen in 50 many of the movies.
 The lecture and motion exhibi- ton will be free, and there will be no collection or pledges of any kind. It Is part of the accounting given by the people of Bridgeport of the work that is being done.
 Start of Red Cross Shown.
 The picture opens with the birth of the Red Cross on the battlefield of solferino in 1859. Its growth to the present day Is quickly bridged. Taking a young married man as a type of those who go to make up our great army, the picture shows how the Red Cross cares for him with it's canteen service, on his way to camp, and looks out for his welfare when he gets there. It shows how the Red Cross keeps in touch with his fam fly giving assistance where needed. It shows how the cable is used to link the soldier at the front with loved ones at home, relieving wor- ries at both ends. A worried sol- dier is not good soldier.
 The work of the Red Cross trans port man is depleted, the activities of the Chapter Worlrooms are touch ed upon and graphic idea is given of the enormous scale upon which the work is conducted. The huge warehouses in New York, Paris and Rome are shown and there are many moving scenes of the work done for the refugees in Italy, Belgium and France.
 The picture takes up the stirring service of the Red Cross doctors and nurses in the battle zones and the hospitals near the front lines, where they are exposed constantly to she'll fire and to the menace of the enc my's bombing planes.
 This picture will enable the speak CT to elaborate upon the same theme and drive home facts and figures swhich do not lend themselves to the screen.

AMERICAN HOSPITAL
 IN JERUSALEM

As part of the celebration in PaIes- tine of the first anniversary of the British declaration favoring. the es- tablishment there of g. Jewish home land, the American Zionist Medical Unit on Nov. formally opened its new hospital with 90 beds. The hos pital has been established in the buildings of the old Rothchild hospital, which had been extended from a bed accommodation of 30 to the number stated.
 The principal address was delivered by B. w. Lewin-E Epstein, manager of the American Zionist Medical Unit, who stated that the hospital with it's modern equipment was at the disposal of the entire population of Jerusalem without regard to creed or class.

'KAATI1RADw SAVES BIRCHING.

Nothing succeeds like the topical touch, and in this connection a Brit ish public school housemaster tells a good story. The other day boy who is the son of we'll known gen eral at the front came to his study to receive a birching.
 But when the master raised the youngsters coattails preparatory to applying the cane there was disclos- ed to view, stitched on the lads trousers, a sketch of a. German sol dier with upraised hand, crying "Kamerad!" The master possessed a keen sense of humor and the boy escaped reinstatement.

Deluged With Questions.

"One prisoner whose name I can
not give with regard for his own
safety told me that after he was taken
he was brought before a major who
said he had lived a long time in
Kansas City. The prisoner by this
means was induced to talk. Then came
q heavy fire of questions as to Ameri-
cas- war sickness. President Wilson's
unpopularity and unpreparedness of
the United States. The only answer
that passed the Sammy's lips was L
beg to differ accompanied by a sig
nif1cent grin. This made the officer
angry and after the questioning the
major ordered him to sign document
where his supposed answers were
given in full, namely. that America
was afraid to continue the war. that
the people were starving in many of
the states and other similar nonsense.
Nothing in the way of bribes or prom
1ses of easy treatment or threats of
the most horrible punishment could
induce the soldier to write his name
under these silly lies. This is the
reason why he spent one week at the
reprisal camp of Kustrin. Prussia,
which he left only a few days ago
looking well and fit, despite all the
brutality to which he had been sub
docted."

have had conversation with a num-
Der of British prisonrs interned in
Holland who have just arrived from
Germany and who gave me details Of
treatment of American war prisoners
in the Teuton empire.
sThey are the brightest boys in ere
ation," said a Canadian lieutenant.
'They are taking the misfortunes of
war in the best possible humor. Their
attitude is one of continued good
cheer, coupled with perfect dignity.
They had gone through the same proc
ess that all other prisoners are sub
jected to soon after being captured.
The Germans asked them all sorts of
foolish questions. threatening them
with heavy punishment in case they
did not answer in a manner pleasing
to German ears.

Objectionable Food.

American prisoners naturally COM
plain Of the food given them. which
an American horse would refuse in
dfgnantly. 1t consists of the refuse
OF turnips dipped into hot. dirty water
and labeled soup" it Is quite i'm
possible for any American to satisfy
his hunger with this. .If you cannot
cat that you had better leave it," the
camp authorities tell our men.
The situation Of the American pris-
oners in Germany is extremely diff
cult They are hardly ever allowed
to communicate with their British
comrades, especially with those who are
about to be released under the ex-
change convention. BY 1uke an ex-
changed Canadian soldier was able
to SEQ them before leaving.
Tells Boys at Home to Speed Up.
The American gave him the follow
ing message, which 1t is my privilege
to transmit:
Tell the boys at home not to
worry about us, but to speed up and
come to France We are willing TO
remain five years in this German hell
or die here. but SO long as Ger
many Is unbeaten we will not be
safe in our homes All American
prisoners now in Germany know
that"
The chief desires Of these fine fel-
lows are the regular dispatch Of food
from America and many letters from
home. With that they can stand
anything. and they say they want the
people at home to know it,
