COPENHAGEN, Dec. 1.-THE Prus-
sian Guard entered Berlin Tuesday and
was welcomed by thousands of people
Outside the city the guard was stopped
hv representatives of the Independent
Socialists, who vainly invited the
troops to disarm.
Commenting on this incident, one
paper says that the guards thereby

the counter revolution.
Representatives of the troops which
were to guard Berlin took an oath in
the town hall at Steglitz, swearing alb
solute loyalty to the German Peoples
Republic, according to earlier advices.
These troops probably are the Prus-
sian Guard.

Cablegram From Foreign Min

s'Unheard.Of" Orgies

Christians are still being robbed
and killed by Turks. according to a
cablegram received yesterday from
Foreign Minister Politics of Greece by
DR.. John N. Metaxa. former Governor
of Salonica. The telegram read:
"The papers Of Smyrna report that in
the district OF Broussa numerous bands
of Turkish deserters and demoblized
soldiers are committing unheard- of
orgies. Such bands, invading Broussa,
have looted Christian stores Sangui-
nary fighting followed, in which many
Christians were killed. The Greek
paper Cosmos, of Smyrna, has been
suppressed by the Turks and referred
to the criminal court for publishing
articles characterized as melting to
rebellion"
Commenting on the cablegram, DR..
Metaxa said:
"The district of Broussa referred to
by Foreign Minister Politics is in
habited by 278.421 Greeks, who, to-
gether with the Armenians. have ever
been the object of religious persecution.
And this by power which to-day has
the audacity to beg for the continual

1928 More Boys
Brought to U. S.
On Liner Adri0tif

Through a misty drizzle that hung
low over the harbor the White Star
llner Adrlatic with 2,28S troops aboard
slipped up to her pier shortly before
sunset su yesterday and put ashore some
13o y; saloon passengers, all civilians.
Every one in uniform remained on
board for the night and will be en-
trained to-day for Camp Mills and
Camp Merritt
~ Inc big liner, which was expected
tuesday, carried one of the largest
lists of returning fighters that has
come to this port, but her arrival YES
terday got little attention from the
people of New York She stole through
the haze practically unnotced until
her great hulk came into a clearing at
the Battery, and then a half dozen tugs
and small! craft tied up at the Battery
wall gave her brief applause with
their their whistles. Captain J. B. Ransom
drove her up the bay quickly, and be-
fore the populace was aware that a big
'roopshlp was coming in she was
warped into her dock and hidden be-
hind the buildings of the White Star
piers.
The Adriatic is the first British ves-
sci since the European war began to
come into this port without her camou-
Hage. The gray, black and blue streaks
and patches that helped screen her
from submarines had given way to the
regular colors of the White Star Line.
Her hull was black, and around it ran
the narrow band of bright yellow. Her
Superstructure was snow white, and her
two tunnels amidships were buff with
black tops, as in times of peace.
A few women of the Red Cross cam
teen were en- the pier, but they brought
no doughnuts, sandwiches or hot cot
Zee because such refreshments were
not needed. The men were ordered to
remain on board overnight, and the
canteen women will have a chance to
serve them when they disembark to-
day.
No wounded came home on the Adri-
atic. Two sick men were taken ashore
on stretchers, but the rest of the SOL
dlers were in excellent health. All of
the homecomers were of aero squad
rons and construction units that had
been training in England and only one
or two had been to France.
The Adriatic brought 5000 bags of
mail, third of it being from American
soldiers abroad.
1t was said last night that the ves-
sci Will be ready to depart on Monday
and will arrive in Liverpool in time
for Christmas.

FEAR FROST HAS
DONE MUCH DAMAGE

The chief topic of conversation
among the fruit growers of Douglas
county is the effect of the hard frosts
of yesterday and today. Even the
great western drive and the Liberty
loan are secondary to this vital sub
ject, because without a crop of
prunes, pears and apples the fruit
iterests can not invest heavily in fu-
ture loans. 1t is said by authorities
that the real damage was done by
the early morning sun and not direct
ly by the freeze itself, as a quick
thawing out of the tissues results in
rupturing of the plant cells. A
dense fog or cloudy morning would
have prevented heavy loss, due to
the slower thawing out of the frozen
cells.
The dry condition of the tissues
and the slow, steady advance of
spring weather was in favor of the
fruit grower, it is argued.
Petites are practically in full bios
som, and most apprehension is felt
about them. The greatest danger lay
in the freezing of the stems which
were unprotected, The Italian prunes
are not yet unsheathed, and probably
escaped harm. Howell and Anjou
pears are blossoming, and Bartletts
are in the pink" stage, just previous
to the bursting of the blooms. Peach
es are past full bloom.
In day or two the effects will be
fully known, and whether the fruit.

try in Packards or still must content

idea of what he should have on the
farm, and naturally the rancher
stands aghast at the situation, which
changes almost as rapidly, and for
the worse, as price quotations on
commodities.
The speeding up of the shipbuild-
ing program, admittedly of para
mount Importance, seems to mean
tie speeding down of farming opera
tions in inverse ratio to the mounting
speed attained in the shipyards.
The situation is becoming critical,
according to the largest land owners
in this county, who, despite the high
guaranteed prices for wheat and the
attractive quotations for every form
OF produce that issues from their
farms propose in many instances to
abandon farming and raise hay and
stock, justifying this course Of-action
By citing the fact that labor can not
be had to care for their lands in an
intensive manner and that the only
product that can be cared for under
the present order is stock that goes
tc market on the hoof and represents
profit with the minimum of effort.
1t now seems certain that the
Home Guard organizations Of the
state will be called upon to relieve
the labor shortages in so far as they
can, and some members of the Rose
burg company have signified their
willingness to go into the harvest
fields this year and do their utmost
to save the 1918 harvest largess. The
officers of the company are in favor
of the departure and are urging its
adoption. Indeed, ii is not unlikely
that this summer and fall will wit
ness an assembling of the women and
children all over the country, who
will go into the rural districts and
apply their energies to the task of
saving the crops of the nation for
normal uses.
The small farmer, or, transversely
stated, the owner of a small produc
tive farm that can be cared for by
the members of his own household,
seems to be the lucky individual just
now. His profit, like his work, lies
within his own grasp and will prob
ably exceed in a net sense the profit
that will come to many of the larger
land owners, who will be compelled |
to pay a schedule of wage in compe- |
tition with industry that will deprive |
them of the return that seemed GER
.din when acreage was seeded last
