The border line between the United States and Mex
leo runs through the town Of Nogples. Besides the diff
ference in the architecture of the two parts of the town,
the side you are on can be told from the booze. On the
American side a drink or two would make a man steal
his own blankets, while on the Mexican side the mescal
would make the fellow who surrounded it fight a rattle
snake with his teeth and give the snake the first bite.

Henry Ford was beaten two to one for the republican
nomination for United States senator in Michigan. This
result was no doubt due largely to his pacifist movements
before the United States entered the war, and illustrates
how hard it is for a man to get right before the people
once he gets "off wrong foot foremost" He is nominal
ed on the democratic ticket and will, it is understood, make
the race on that nomination. The result next November
will be the real measure of his standing in his state.

Food Director Hoover, has made new bread schedule
and Americans can now eat bread which is only one,
fifth substitute for wheat flour. The split ~fifty-fifty, is
no longer necessary. He estimates this country must fur
nish breadstuffs for 225.OOO,OOO people in all, and the
French, English and other of our allies are all going on
the new basis. However only corn and barley products
can be substituted. which cuts out the ubiquitous potato.

BY this time next year perhaps we can be buying
sugar from Germany which has an abundance of it. But
then there are countless Americans and other sugar users
that will take their tea and coffee straight, and their des-
sert shy of sugar, rather than sweeten it with sugar
bought from the Hun. The blood will have to wear off
German hands for a long while before people with aver
age stomach can eat anything that has passed through
them.

A DISASTROUS DAY.

Yesterday was one Of the most disastrous days the
Huns have experienced since the war began. They were
numerically whipped along a whole battle front of fifty
miles, lost thousands of prisoners an enormous amount
of booty, among it hundreds of big guns, and were so
closely Nessed all day that they had no chance to reform
their beaten ranks. The British drove across the old
Hindenburg line near Arras, and were still pushing ahead
according to last reports. No one knows just what Cen
cal Foch is aiming at, not even Hindenburg, who is gen
orally pretty well informed on that subject--Or thinks he
is--but apparently the drive at Arras is more than a mere
local matter. From Armientieres, where the allied front
touches Belgium northeast across that country to the
nearest point in the Netherlands is only about forty
miles. Should one-half this distance be negotiated by the
allies it would endanger the German lines to the sea, and
put that part Of the kaisers army west Of that line in a
dangerous pocket. AT the same time it would place the al.
lies in position to strike either toward the German sub
marine bases at 0stend and Zebruege, or to the east and
south behind the Hindenburg line, making a rear attack
possible unless a strong force was gathered along this
new line, and this would still further weaken the German
defense on the present front.
Another puzzle of the French commanders, is the
American contingent. Ii has been held as quiet as that
somewhat effervescent body can be, for some time, while
the British and French have worked their will on the
Huns. 1t is a safe conclusion that these are being held for
some purpose, and what it is will perhaps not be known
until that purpose is accomplished. That immense man
poweris not going to be left to wear itself out through in
action, and when the Huns are in position to suit, it is GER
tain the Americans will be sent in somewhere where they
will do the most good. The allied people have supreme
confidence in the French commander, and are not worry
ing, knowing he will do the right thing at the right time.
In the meanwhile it is well to keep your eyes on that Sec
ton Of northern Belgium through which runs the German
lines of communication with her submarine bases.

The table showing the prices agreed upon as "fair,"
by the local Fair Price Boarl, show among other things
the tremendous advance in hog products. Bacon that ten
or a dozen years ago could be bought at from eight to
twelve cents a pound is now quoted at 60 to Go cents. The
difference between the price fixel Us fair to the retailer
and that to the consumer is now greater than the price Of
the bacon only a short time ago. AT the same time a state
ment issued by the department at Washington shows the
purchasing power of the dollar as TO foodstuffs has been
split in half in the east and is reduced to about GA cents
on the coast. 1t is not probable prices for foodstuffs in
America will ever again reach their former low level,
but that they will be greatly reduced after the war is a
%f0regone conclusion. So far as bacon and hog products
generally are concerned, this reduction will result from
of sales once the government Is not a competitor in
the markets. Present prices are practically prohibitive
for the great masses of the people and will have to come
down, to prevent a glutted market.

1T IS THE GOVERNORS COMMISSION.

The governor denies any responsibility for the action
of the consolidation committee which has just filed its
report suggesting that the people Of Oregon did not have
intelligence enough to do their own voting. He insists
the committee did not report to him during its consid-
GRAFTON of the subject, nor did he make it any suggestions.
All the governor did was to select the committee. 1t is
also asserted that he urged legislators to pass the reso-
luton which caused the appointment of the commission,
but as to the truth of that we know rothing. The govern
or admits he selected the commission, and it is fair to
presume he had a pretty good knowledge of the feeling
of its members. The governor is not so childlike as he
looks and plays a good political game usually under the
tutelage of that boss politician Kerr of the o. A. c., and
can not be depended not to pick a pig in the poke" 1t was
the governors own little commission and its work shows
that it intended to do the right thing by its creator. The
governor says "ff there is anything found in the recon-
mendations making for greater efficiency he will support.
it," How can he doubt there is much of this character,
when he is made the whole thing? Does he imagine the
average person is as well qualified as himself to select
the state officers? 1t is unthinkable that the great man
can have so small an opinion of himself.

LII ND0RFF'S
REPORT BROUGHT
ACCEPT P.TANCE OF
WILSON'S MS
German Commander Said
Invasion Of Fatherland'
Was Imminent

London, Oct. 19 British wireless
Servicel. - Interesting particulars
now are available concerning the re-
cent happenings in Germany leading
up to the sending of the German
reply: to President Wilson's ques-
tions. According to the Essen zei-
tung, the decision to reply affirma-
lively was taken at a dramatic meet
ing of the crown council in Berlin
where General Ludendorh made a
gloomy report on the. military situa-
ton.
In the presence OF Emperor Will
liam and all the federated princes,
the general, according to this news
paper, declared the situation was
such that Germany might be invaded
within a few weeks. In view of his
great promises OF last spring he was
made the subject OF bitter re-
proacI1es. -. ..s
Prince Maximilian of Baden, the
imperial chancellor, said the war
must be stopped at once. King Lud-
wig of Bavaria sharply criticized
Ludendorff, while King William OF
Wuerttemberg declared a heavy re-
sponsibility rested on the emperor.
The grand duke OF Hesse. complained
Of military interference in political
matters. The chancellor finally cut
the recriminations short, the news
paper adds, by proposing submission
to President Wilson'S terms.
1t is that Baron Burian's speech
also is in the nature Of an ultima
tum to Germany peremptory in char
acter, although similarly masked in
courteous phrasing. 1t is considered
plain from this speech that for Aus
tria-Hungary the war is over, that
she cannot go on any longer, and
that If Germany fails to satisfy
President Wilson and the allies then
the only alternative Of the dual mon~
archy lis a. separate peace.
1t is felt that this must have its
influence on the German mind as
well as the expectation in Berlin that
Turkey will comply with the de-
mands OF the allies for surrender.

To the south in France, the general

way the Sensee canal and marshes.
No attempt to cross this barrier has
yet been reported.

now entirely behind the allied ad-

enemy the slightest opportunity for
