Washington, Jan. 31-The recent
explosion at the naval torpedo. sta

CARRANzA RULE
NOW TOTTERINC;
PEOPLE STARVE

Washington, Jan. 31-Advices from
Mexico show that conditions in that
country are becoming still more ap-
FALLING. 1he people are starving, the
troops sullen and given to looting,
b1igandage prevails, the national
ii easury is empty credit gone, and the
gle slender reed.
That rec d, it is shown, is not Car
rama, the president, but one of his
Generals, Pablo Gonzales, the newly
appointed secretary of government. 1t
is only the loyalty Of this man, who
is able ami popular, which holds his
chief in nominal power.
The collapse may come at any mo-
ment, the reports show.
That The United States is vitality
concerned in the situation is admit
ted. German propaganda has so pois-
cred the Mexican mind that the peo-
pie hate this country with a bitter
ness even greater than at the time of
the Vera Cruz landing.
German plotters have made the
people believe the United State is their
natural enemy, bat that they need not
fear this country because Germany
will prevail in the war.
1t is this German propaganda which
| has made it impossible for American
ca pital, no matter how we'll disposed,
tc aid Mexico. While the Mexican
government has been willing to give
satisfactory guarantees, the instabi
| ity of the government, coupled with
the attitude of the people themselves

1.-The loyalty of the army the reports
continue to show. That power be-
longs to Gonzales. The $4,000 men

this in spite of the fact that the
troops pay is two months in arrears
They had even been induced to give
half of their daily wage to the gov
ernment, hut now that little remain
ing half is not in the treasury.
The result is general looting ant
lawlessness by the troops. This, with
the activities of the CarranZa enemies
in the fields, puts the country in &
turmoil.
All paper money has disappeared
and there is very little bullion. Many
OF the banks nave been closed.

day at a conference attended by Sec
retaries Baker, Daniels and Wilson,

The strike movement has spread to
such an extent that government and
private ship yards, the mining CEN
ters and numerous important factories
in the Berlin. district are inactive,
Herr Walraff, the Minister of the
Interior, has received a demond to
sanction meetings of the workmen's
Council, newly born organization
patterned on the model of the Work
mems and Soldiers councils of Rus
sia. The provinces reported seething
with industrial strife, and the situa-
ton has become so acute that a gen
eral meeting of labor heads was
called, their discussions to take Place
in Berlin.
Agitation for a general strike in
Munich is said to have failed after
stormy meeting, but the movement
spread to Nuremberg and F'urth, the
largest manufacturing towns in Ba-
varia
According to some reports the
strike involves many munition factor
les and some submarine Wharves, but
up to this time the railroad and trans
portation services have not been in
volved.
The cessation of work in Hamburg
now is virtually complete, according to
Daily Telegraph dispatch from Rot
terdam The strike has e-tnnded
from the Vulcan ship yards in Ham
burg to the works of Blohm & Voss,
another large ship building concern.
At meeting of the Berlin strikers
on Wednesday a resolution was pass
ed declaring the strikers would oppose
to the utmost of their power any re-
prisals against their leaders or rep
resentatives. The German Union of
Labor has issued an anti-strike leaf1et.
declaring England and America only
await the moment when Germany Is
weakened by internal strife to fall on
Germany and ruin her trade, and
smash German competition. The ap-
peal says:
1--WE want no hunger peace
Therefore down with mass
strikes. Our future is at stake"
Among the views expressed in dis /.
patches from Holland in regard to the
! German strike is one that the Ger
man government is exploiting what
hardly amounts to more than a peace
time demonstration with the object,
if possible, of producing a more SER
| ious movement in Allied countries,
where it apparently believes the gov
ernments are less able to control such
movements.
A correspondent gathers from the
German press that the German gov
ernment intends to make the strike
movement pretext for breaking off
the Brest-Litovsk negotiations AMI is
ascribing it to the Vaccinations Of
the Bolsheviki with whom therefore.
it would be impossible to hold
further conferences.
The semi official Norddeutscne ALI
gemeine Zeitung, commenting On the
political aims of the strike commit
tee, warns the strikers that they will
achieve nothing by their action in
reference to the negotiations in
Rrest- -Ltovsk Instead of furthering
the peace movement, it says. the
strikes wi4 prejudice the negotiations
and encourage her enemies TO resist
Germany's just claims. The news
paper adds that the government ex-
poets the strikers as result of calm
consideration to realize the foolish
ness of their attitude and resume
work.

LAST OF CITY'S
DRAFTEES START
FOR Fl. WRIGHT
Thursday, Jan. 81

Twenty-six Bridgeport youths, rep
resenting the city's last contribution
of it's quota of 2,125 men for the first
National Army of $4,000 men, lef:
shortly before noon for New London
from where they will go to Fort
Wright to replace Bridgeport draftees
rejected for physical defects. When
the roll was called every man was
present. They assembled at the sta
ton chortly after 9 o'clock, but the
train did not leave until nearly noon.
The youths were proud in spirit
and nearly all had friends or relatives
to see them off. Scenes similar to
those exhibited at previous times
were enacted and when the train
whisked over the roller lift bridge,
tear-fllled eyes followed it until it was
lost to view.
The local boards have practically
completed their work on the first
draft and are ready to begin exam
nations on Sunday for men of the

TIMELY, ADVICE FOR THE YOUNG GIRL

mon courtesy which no gentleman would
neglect when circumstances play into
his hands. II is up TO the girl, then, to
latham with her woman's wit whether
the man wants to call and whether he
is the kind who would ask himself, or
is too shy to do so. Usually the better
plan is to give the man chance to ex-
press his pleasure at having met you,
and to hope that it will not be the last
time or something like that. Then the
girl may with no risk to her self-esteem
suggest that he call some evening, that
there are some friends of hers she is
sure he would enjoy meeting, etc I'm
der such encouragement there is no man
worth the name who would not have the
courage to ask for a definite evening,
either then and there, or later. 1t is
not a cut-and-dried affair, you see, but
a quiet turning of the situation so that
the man in the case feels that he is do
ing the seeking and not that the girl is
rushing" him, so to speak
AhG 4hNsAiOh VI HllttiAk hlst WITCH
one or the other goes away is another
thing to be looked at scnsibly The truly
proper way is for the man to ask per
mission to write before he goes and then
to take advantage of his permission as
soon as he can. But again, circum-
stances may alter cases. The man may
think possiblv that the uirI is nof inter
ested enough to keep up correspond
ence with him. If the girl has reason
to suspect this, she may write little
informal note, saying that she is taking
for granted he had forgotten to ask if
he might write and that she was writ
ing this to show she would be glad to
hear from him and all that he is doing.
Or if the girl goes away herself, she
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1918-10-19

could write and say that she had neg
leeted to give him her address 90 that
he could write to her, and that she
would be glad to hear from him
Telephone calls for pure gossip are.
not generally to be encouraged. A crit
icism something like this came to my
ears only yesterday: "Oh. yes" said
man, 81 remember her. A cute little
thing. Jim had pretty bad case on
her, but | guess she had worse one
She is the girl who used to call him at
the office several times day" Isn't that
a humiliating thing, if that girl could
hear it, TO think that the only tag that
man can place upon her is the fact that
she used to worry friend of his sew
eral times a day In office hoursS No
one can criticise a girl for calling a
man by phone to arrange the details of
some engagement, but even then II
should be out of business hours If pos
sible. Indiscriminate calling on the tele-
phone is not to be encouraged. just
peep into the public telephone booth OF
any drug store about O'Clock of an
evening and watch the silly girls spend
ing their nicl1els trying to "kid" some
fellow" who is probably chahng at the
other end of the line to get away.
These are only few of the things
which the girl with dignity, encounters
and successfully overcomeS when there
is a man or men in her life. 1t all
depends upon the girls sense of values
and chiefly on her self-esteem. Remen-
Der, we can never expect respect from
others until we can turn the searchiight
of criticism on ourselves and find our
selves worthy our own regard first.
The subject of proposing / am going
to treat in separate article very soon.
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1918-10-19
BY MRS. McCUNE.

A SUBJECT often discussed, h Is
"a true, and yet something which
= worries the normal girl arrived at
the age Of sweetheart days is this ques-
ton of meeting a mans advances. just
how far may girl go toward friendli-
ness and still keep that charm of wom-
AMY modesty which is her greatest at
6ractionS This question brings to light a
number of small details from the very
beginning of an acquaintance down to
the nomentous problem of popping the
question"
Thus. judging from the girls of my
acquaintance and the letters which food
every mail, II would seem that great
many girls do not know how to go
about making friends with the men that
attract them. One girl viii write.
There is an awfully nice-looldng boy
who passes our house every morning on
his way to work Sometimes he smiles
/ would like to speak to him. but we
have never been introduced. What shall
| DOR
Now, there arg some generally ac-
cepted situations which act in the place
of introductions. and one of them is be-
ing neighbors. Another is belonging to
the same organization, like a church, a
club, a school or being fellow-guests
under the same roof. OF course, these
ready-made introductions, as it were,
should not be abused, and II one.is go
ing to profit by them one must be will
ing to be logical about It and take the
consequences Of dissppoinsments, etc.
Thus, if the girl who wants 10 meet the
boy that passes her house feels he is
worth knowing. IL she knows who he is
and some of his background, she may
claim the privilege of neighborliness and
speak to him cordially as she would to
the woman next door. But she should
not neglect his sister, nor his mother.
nor his aunts They. too, are neighbors
as much as he.
Another problem which presents itself
after FIRST meeting with man Is this
Should the man ask to call or should
the girl ask himi Now. looking at this
from a common sense viewpoint it re-
solves itself into something like this
No girl would want to humiliate herself
into asking man to- call on her If he
had no inclination to do so. True, he
may have escorted her home from
party or church, but this is only com
