so much slander and misrepre-

At a time like this when intel

our President and his col

papers trying to break down
faith in the republic and its

justifies the question. For eff

government in America and to
arouse unjust prejudice the
bolsheviki is being surpassed
by this element of the anti

GOING TOO STRONG

~ HE cost of the war to the
VI allies is estimated by
Lloyd George at 120 bill
lions. The sum is said to be
twice as much as the total Wis
fble wealth of Germany before
the war began. Yet one school
of allied statesmen propose to
make Germany pay the entire
war bill of the allies. There is
some justification for their
stand. 1t is the way Germany
a tied when Germany was vic
torious over France. Yet Am
aricans will generally concede
that it would be unreasonable
to expect what is left of Ger
to pay any such stupen-

would impoverish the people OF
the defeated countries and
poverty is the mother of an
archy. Why not instead make
Germany pay adequate indem-
mites especially to France and
and then take the rest
of the penalty out in the form
of personal punishment for
the kaiser and others of Ger
man royalty and officialdom? ?
America fought for free

'lave the vanquished.

OUR SUPER BOLSHEVIK
PRESS

m E R T AIN newspapers
" speak in doleful tones
about the destruction by

a poor service; it INDUCES not
merely in libel but in treachery

press censorship in America
now. During the war there
was never any restriction ON
criticism of the government or

CLEAN MANHOOD

~ RECON takes just pride in
W the fact that when the
call to arms came it was
answered by no fewer than
/ 1000 of her sons, Id per cent
of the adult manhood of the
state.
Another fact now comes to
light in connection with Ore
CONS fighting men that sup
plies an additional reason for
qualification. Oregon not only
established an enviable record
in the number of men at arms
but they were the cleanest
men physically.
Official word from Surgeon
General Rupert Blue conveys
the information that the re-
ports of venereal disease from
the first million men in the /
army to be examined show |
Oregon to lead the country I

against 80 per 1000 for the
state at the bottom of the list. /
Idaho, Utah, Washington and
follow Oregon in the
order named in the surgeon
list.
Such a record bespeaks a
ligh citizenship; it indicates a
.ociety that emphasizes moral
trength and bodily vigor. It
establishes the efficacy of the
.igorous campaign for clean
manhood that. has been waged

HUNS DAMAGE
SHIPSINCHILE
Act of Crews of Interned
Vessels May Indicate
Rupture.

The State, Department was in
formed yesterday of the partial
destruction OF thirty-one interned
German vessels in Chilean ports by
the members of their crews. An
other ship, the Alva, was not dam
aged. She is believed to be one of
the three German cargo carriers un-
der lease to the Chilean government.
Oficials here have received no in
timation that Chile was near the
breaking point with Germany. but
the damaging of the vital parts OF
the interned vessels would seem to
indicate there is something in the
air." 1t is entirely possible, It is
conceded. that information tending
to show Chile would soon be on the
list of Germany,s enemies was
transmitted to the ships. craws. anc
that they acted in accordance with
the orders they received. The at
tempt to incapacitate German YES
sells in American waters took place,
il was recalled yesterday. before we
severed diplomatic relations.
Chile and Argentine are the only
two remaining strong South Ameri-
can republics who maintain neutral
ity. Five other South American
nations - Bolivia, Ecuador, Peru
Brazil and Uruguay-have already
declared war against Germany. and
their number is further increased II
Panama, the junction OF the two
continents, is taken into considera-
tion.

Russian Allies Capture the

in Siberia.

ChIta, the capital of Transbaika-

sheviki in Siberia, has been cap
tured by CEecho-Slovak forces, the
State Department wds Informed
yesterday.
Occupation OF the city practically
ends the peril in which Tzech SOL

themselves through the Possibility
| that their sole communication with
the forces Of the allies-the Man
churian branch OF the Trans-Siber-
ian railroad-would be severed by
| the enemy.
Now Control Communications.
They now control the railroad
from Irkutsk to Harbin, and tele-
| graphic communica tions between
\ Irkutsk and Pekin, via Pepza. have
! been restored. Meantime the Boil
shevik forces. composed largely of
| one-time German and Austrian war
prisoners, are in a precarious posi-
7 tion along the Amur branch of the
| Trans-Siberian. The Czech victory
isolates them and renders them
| open to attack from either the west
| of the east. They are now engaged
with Japanese and Czech forces on
| the Ussuri front, and the occupa-
| tion of Chita gives the Czechs there
a free hand TO move against them.
1t is only a question of a few
weeks, it Is believed, before they
will be compelled to surrender.
Winter will soon set in; they are
cut of from any supplies, and IL
they decide to fall back they will
be in the vast and unproductive
wastes Of Northern Siberia, where

nouncing that Admiral Won
Hintze and Baron Burian, the
German and Austro-Hungarian
foreign ministers, respectively,
agreed, after a conference at
Vienna that "in the present
circumstances no action to-
wards peace would have the
slightest success"
The two Teuton statesmen
further agreed, according TO
the Berlin organ, that it would
be safer" for the central pow
ers to work toward a posi-
tive peace" after the entente
offensive in the West has
come to an end. when, the
Tageblatt adds, "the enemy
will realize that he cannot in
wade Germany, and that the
war would last for years if
an invasion of Germany was
the allied aim.

London Sept. 5.-A fit of de-

In Berlin. something bordering on
