WHY WE ARE ATWAR WITH
 GERMANY
By EPHRAIM DOUGLASS ADAMS Executive Head, History Depart
 ment Leland Stanford Junior University

The object of this war is to deliver the free peoples of the world from the menace and the actual power of a vast military establishment controlled by an irresponsible government, which, hay ing secretly planned to dominate the world, proceeded to carry out the plan without regard either to the sacred ob- legations of treaty or the long -estab- lished practices and long cherished prin- ciples of international action and hon. or, |. This power is not the Ger man people. It is the ruthless master of the german people. It is our business to see to it that the history of the rest of the world is no longer left to it's handling. g.-President Will son, August 27, 1917.
 German Ruthlessness an Inculcated barbarIsm
 A government asserting it's right to conquer the world, denying any duty except that of increasing it's own power, and a people drilled in this theory, produce a nation whose acts | horrify humanity. Yet those acts are but the logical result of a ruthless ness in war deliberately planned It was at first said by Americans: Yes, there are occasional German atrocities. no doubt, but so there are in every war; We now know that cruelty and barbarism are a definite part of the German method of making war
 First the teachers and professors: Where German soldiers had to seize the incendiary torch, or even to pro- ceed to the slaughter of citizens, it was only in pursuance of the rights of war One single highly cultured German warrior represents a higher intellectual and moral life-value than hundreds of the raw children of nature whom England and France. Russia and Italy, oppose to them" Even if there were no question of vengeance, the crime of opposing the. de- velopment of Germany is so great that the most trenchant measures are scarcely a sufficient puishment for it." The more pitiless is the vac victis, the greater is the security of the ensuing peace. In the days of old conquered peoples were completely an- Inihiliated. Today that is physically impracticable, but one can imagine conditions which should approach very closely to total destruction
 Next the army officers: By steep ing himself in military history ar officer will be able to guard himself against excessive humanitarian no tions: it will teach him that certain seventies are indispensable to war nay, more. that the only true humanity very often lies in ruthless applica- ton of them" The warrior has neet of passion. It must not bs regarded as a necessary evil: nor con ldemned as regrettahle eonsequenct lof physical contact: nor must We seel

Shipments To Army And Pay

Days.

Although about 100000 pounds Of
prunes have been shipped to the army
in Texas and Illinois, the packers will
get no money from the shipments for
ten days or more. After the shipments
are made, a bill for the prunes is
mailed to the quartermastcr office
in Portland. 1t is audited after the
usual government delays in clerical
business and then requisition is seirs
to the packers here to be signed. Then
1t is returned to the quartermaster 5
office in Portland and after another
usual delay, the check is received. Ev-
en- in days before the war, the govern
ment moved slowly in the clerical

that the big allotments have been made

from the northwest, the shipping in
structions have not been received This
