WAR Rem SPRUCE COMPANY
AFTER SlLETZ SPRUCE

Jas. Manary, representing the War
rem Spruce Co., arrived in Toledo last
Saturday and at once began making
arrangements to get the Siletz Spruce
for the government.
This company has contracts from
the government, that will take all the
airplane spruce that there is in the
Siletz.
They are building hugh warehouse
at present on the site where the rock
crusher formerly stood. The building
will be "a by 100 feet in size. This
is the first of a series of buildings to
be built. They have placed orders with
the local mill for furnishing lumber
for ten spruce camps which they will
build at once. These camps will be To-
Gated at different places in the woods
and will be moved from time to
time Geo. MrCaulou is boss carpenter
on the warehouse, and it is being rush.
ed as fast as possible.
II is not known for certain yet,
whether railroad will be built to
tidewater on the Siletz, to bring out
the spruce, or whether they will plank
and gravel the county roads and bring
1t out with auto trucks.
They expect to bring a thousand
men here as soon as they have ac-
comodations for them. These men
will be placed in the different camps
where they will rive out the spruce.
No trees will be felled, except those
suitable for airplane purposes. Don.
key engines will be used for splitting
them.
Some of the finest spruce in the
world is located in this coun
ty, and we hope it can all be gotten
out to do its bit toward canning the
Kaiser.

within a few days there will be no

REPUBLICANS,
DON'T LET UP"

Up" The message Of the League is as
follows:
AS Mr.. Taft boarded the train for
Boston last night, his last words to us
were-'Tell my friends Of Delaware
DON'T LET Up; our nations situation
is too serious and Delaware's Republican
vote at Washington is an important link
in the chain for national constructive
work in the fuaure'
DON'T LET UP, the truest and most
important message he could have left
with us as he departed. This means
during the next few days the most in
tensive educational work that each one
OF us is capable Of
"This is not a personal question. II
is only by such thorough, conscientious
work constituting the highest form Of
citizenship in a Republic, that we can
sustain our institutions and prosper.
Nothing must interfere. DON'T LET
up
"As Mr.. Taft said TO us, The election
will be too close, both in Delaware and
in building the proper majorities for the
future Congress at Washington, 10 let
any personal or local issues intrude at
this particular moment Then with his
infectious chuckle, he added, Haven't
Theodore and l gotten together as citi-
zens for our national goodY This was
great step in sinking personal differ
ences, and if Taft and Roosevelt have
so acted, the lesson and need should i'm
press us throughout the union DON'T
LET up
use your citizenship, your ability
your knowledge with everyone you meet
from now until p m. Tuesday next.
The Republican Citizens League would
be very glad TO have you enroll as a
if you are not already regis
tered, to stand within our State in sup
port Of our national problems, leaders
and policies"

WORLD PEACE
MAY Come soon

theory that she would crumble and take
what she was handed.
The naval section Of the armistice
terms 10 be given Germany were in
possession Of this government today.
No anOuncement Of their contents was
made, but assurance was given by off,
clals that every safeguard had been
taken in these terms and that they
would meet the requirements OF every
prudent man." so that travel will be
safe on all the seas.
Whether occupation OF the German
fleet was made a temporary or perma-
nent condition was not stated. But IL
was suggested that a question such as
flnal possession Of the submarine or
grand fleet would rest with the peace
conference.
High authorities today explained the
retincence about armistice terms by de-
claring that the Allied governments,
equally interested with the United
States, ask complete secrecy until the
terms are finally determined.
IL is explained further that 10 give
the terms out "plecemeal" would pre-
pare the Germans for what was COM
ing and enable them TO profit materi-
ally thereby.
The Austrian armistice situation is
rapidly crystalizing. And the outburst
Of popular uprisings within the dual
monarchy, plus the italian offensive,
have long since assured that Austria
will yield fully. Her acceptance ot
armistice terms is only a matter Of a
time.
AS for the Kaiser's abdication in the
next few days there is some uncer-
tainty. The matter has been discussed
freely both officially and among the
people Of Germany according to press
reports. The Kaiser appears, however.
to be clinging 10 the last forlorn hopes,
though IL is forseen here that he must
go ere long, The State and War De-
partments and the White House still
maintained silence as 20 what Is actu-
ally developing at Versailles. There
is prospect that this silence will be
shattered, however, at either Versailles
or here before Monday night.
Now that affairs are coming 10 a head,
IL may be said that the President and
his closest advisers have fOreseen ever
since Germany started peace overtures
that the end was coming fast. Turk
ish and Austrian disappearance from
the war in exactly the manner now re-
corded was anticipated And, it may
be added that the President acted with
this practical certainty in mind and
with the prospect that Germany thus
deserted, would have TO yield to the AL
terms Of surrender.
The reaction Of the nation TO the Ger |
man proposals made the Presidents ne |
gOtiatiOns rather more clrcuitOus than /
hey might otherwise have been. But, /
As authorities here sense the situation
he. world is now adjusting itself to the |
dea of an early peace with punishment
or Germany, not prOlOngatiOn Of the
struggle for revenge.
There is, OF course, a possibility that
Germany will attempt a desperate elev-
nth hour renewal Of the war. But, 1t
5 held here that the German people,
,xpectant OF peace and deserted by their
lilies will see TO it that peace is OBJ
aimed quickly. It is felt there can be
10 rallying Of Germany at this stage.

place it was generally agreed early in
the campaign that because Of the war
and the important work that most of
the leaders are engaged In, in cOnnec-
tiOn with winning the war, that there
would not be much time 10 devote 10
politics. This plan was largely carried
out, but the outbreak of influenza which
resulted in a State quarantine for more
than three weeks put the lid on politics
light and barred public campaign meet
ings entirely until this week
TWO happenings both occurring on the
same day late last week did more to-
wards putting pep" and interest in the
Republicans campaign in Delaware
than anything else that has happened
since the campaign opened. These
events were the visit OF Will II. Hays,
national chairman OF the Republican
party 10 Wilmington, and the issuing
on the same day by President Wilson
Of his now famous appeal to the peo-
pie for "a vote Of confidence" by re-
turning a Democratic majority TO the
Senate and House.
The visit Of Mr.. Hays. who at dinner
given in his honor at the Hotel dupont,
gave a straight-frOm-the-sh talk
OF the great importance to the future
welfare Of the country Of electing a Re
publican majority in both houses so
that reconstruction work following the
war will have the benefit of the wide
experience and broad views of Repub-
lican leaders aroused much interest.
From that day Republicans of Della
ware have been united and are working
diligently to elect DR.. L. Heisler Ball to
the Senate and DR.. Caleb r. Layton to
the House, as. urged by Mr. Hays.
The Republican Citizens League has
been a big factor in the campaign for
the past ten days.
Local Democrats have evidently felt
keenly the change in sentiment and in
terest since the Wilson appeal. To try
and save the day for Senator Salisbury
and Congressman Polk. most Of the
big guns" of the administration have
been rushed here from Washington to
turn loose their artillery Of OratOry in
the interests of Salisbury and Polk.
Vice-Presdent Marshall, Senators Hitch
cock, Ashurst and Robinson, are some
OF the Democratic leaders who came
from Washington to urge the re-elec-
tlon OF the Democratic candidates.
10 is admitted that the Republicans
have been gaining ground fast during
the past ten days. Notwithstanding the
efforts of Mr.. Saulsbury's friends to
win their support. there are now indi-
cations that DR.. Ball will receive a.
large labor vote in Wilmington.
The campaign in the interest Of the
county and district tickets, has become
more active during the past few days.
