SERCEAN! LOSES
HIS LAUNDRY NEAR
THE WESTERN front
He Says Washing Is Simple;
Just Soak Elm, Steam En-
And Bake En-.
BY Frank j. TAYLOR

Omitted Press Staff CORRESPONDENCE
With the American Armies in France
Oct. 10.-(By Mail)-On a muddy cross
road near Verdun a sergeant with a
deeply lined face stepped up and ask
ed if he might ride to the next batch
of ruins, which he called a town. The
following conversation was educational,
to say the least, to the occupants of
the press car:
"You chaps amt seen my laundry
anywhere " the sergeant asked.
"Laundry9 We didn't know there
was a laundry in this part of France''
Dwell, there is, and it belongs to
us. At least it did yesterday. This

of big tanks on a wagon, with a steam

everything is washed, rinsed and

'tPretty hard to clean some Of these

He Remembers All About

When Judge Webster as justice OF
the peace for the Salem district steps
out of office January l, 1919, Salem
will lose the distinction of having the
oldest justice of the peace in the
state.
Judge Webster was So years old on
the 10th of April of this year. He was
elected to the office of justice of the
peace and assumed the duties of his Of
flee July |, 1906, and has continuously
held the office since that date.
At one time there was some dispute
as tn whether he could succeed himself,
but it seems that he did and that set
tied the matter. The office is a six
wear term affair and the Judge got IN
the extra six months on account of the
legislature changing the time when his
successor is to take office. Originally
the term was for two years.
Judge Webster wal born April 10,
1888, only eight years after the death
Of Thomas Jefferson and John Adams.
He remembers well the Harrison cam
paign of 1910 when the cry was Tip
pecanos and Tyler too" and Harrison
was elected on a log cabin and hard eli
der campaign.
The Judge cast his first vote foi
John G. Fremont, the first candidate OF
the republican party, in 1856 and says
that he has been voting straight ever
since.

MARION eOUuTY'S .
QUOTA IS ASSIGNED

The quota for Marion county for the
United War fund drive originally as
signed was $37,65O,OO0, $25,O0o.0O of
which was to be raised in the city of
Salem. If Marion county is to do its
full share, however, it must respond
with an additional so per cent, which
will mean that Marion county will have
to respond with $63, 100000, $57,500.00 of
which must be raised in the city Of Sa-
lem.
1t may seem a considerable sum to
many but it is really very little when
we consider the comfort andyhelp it will
mean to our boys "over there
In answer to the question as to how
the money will be divided the following
will answer that purpose: Out of each
800 raised the Y. NJ. C. A. will receive
1886, Knights of Columbus, $3.50,
Jewish Welfare Board $2.05, Y. w. G.
A. $3.50, Salvation Army $2.O5, War
Camp Community Service $3.50, the
American Library Association $2.05.
Each of the organizations perform its
own particular, indispensable part in
maintaining the morale of our millions
of fighters and wal workers. Our men
are proving themselves the fittest sol
diers Europe ever saw or felt. We have
got to keep them fit and it will be some

Considerable publicity is being given
the contents of a telegram which has
been sent out from the National Red

Packers Again Held
Up By Government Orders

There isn't even a silver lining to
the cloud of disappointment for the
packers of prunes in this section of
the Willamette valley. just as every
thing looked as if the food administra-
ton was willing that prunes should be
shipped, came a telegram this morning,
ordering pruno packers to discontinue
loading and shipping prunes against

depot October 81.
Not only this but they were also or
dered not to load or ship on any pur-
chasing instructions they may have had
from the Portland office on allotments
made through United States Federal
food administration. The telegram is
signed by the quartermaster of the U.

PRINTERS Of SALEM
Want Big INCREASE
VIII Ask State And Other En-
ployers For Sc Day Min
imuln Wage Scale.

The state printing board, along with
other employers of printers in Salem,
has been served with a notice from the
scale committee of the Capital Typo
graphical Union that wages are to be
increased, effective January 6 next.
As the state printing board refuses to
officially recognize the union and deal
with it the notice will be ignored, and
if printers employed by the state wish
an increase in wages the request will
have to come from them as state en-
ployes and not as members of a union,
according to members of the board.
The proposed scale provides for a
minimum wage of SIS a day whereas
the state is now paying 1925, and $3.50
for the first night shift and 81 for the
second night shift. The state is now
paying 1915 for the first night shift
and has no second night shift.
If the proposed increase is not salts
factory to the employers, the union
committee asks for a conference So the
matter may be arbitrated before the
first of the year.
On different occasions in the past tht
union has sought to obtain official rec
ignition from the state printing board
but has failed. However, only union
printers are employed at the state
printing plant and the state is paying
than union wages.

OE KAISER
TO QUIT MARKS
FINAL COLLAPSE
Has Been irresponsible An
Agency In World War Is
President Belief.
By Robert ]. Bender

Omitted Press staff correspondent
Washington, Nov. 9.-The reported
decision of the German kaiser and the
crown prince to relinquish the Hohen-
zollern throne was viewed here by Of
ficials today as the final collapse of
militarism in Germany.
The kaiser, long the center of the
military party in control eff German
affairs, has been held by President
Wilson to be the irresponsible agency
in the world war, which should be
abolished if future peace were to be
insured.
Since Americas entrance into the
struggle the president has been unswerv
ing in his determination to. sweep the
kaiser from the throne. By open diplo-
macy, first directed at the German
people, and later bluntly to the Ger
man government itself, the president
has declared that the Hohenzollerns
and all they represented were the great
est obstacles in the path of peace.
1t may be said that the president
has been firmly convinced for many
weeks that eventually he would win
his fight against this world figure.
Whether the kaiser's a%bdication was
brought about finally by the terms Of
the armistice, now in Berlin or wheth-
er he gave up his battle to retain the
throne under pressure of the growing
restlessness of his people is not known
here. The state department professed
up to four O'Clock to have nothing on
the reported abdication.
