FROM THE PEOPLE
UNITY is REQUIRED

! 1NAl lo AAA<NEtAAhA@AS-
San Francisco, Cal, April IL, 1918.
Editor East Oregonian:
On relinquishing my command of
the Pacific coast division of the Brit
/ ish and Canadian recruiting mission,
take this oportunity to thank you
for your generous cooperation in Civ
/ ing our mission publicity from time
to time. The work done by your pa
/ per has been of inestimable value to
our cause and 1 trust you will treat
my successor, Captain +. l. Goord,
with the same courtesy and consid-
Grafton as you have accorded me.
/ feel this is an opportune moment
4 to speak an encouraging word in the
face of what looks like disaster on
the western front, and would say that
either army at any time. if they are
determined to break through a line.
can do so by concentrating a suffi-
cient number of men without regard
to cost, and our victory is assuded by
the fact of the number of German
lives it is costing to capture the small
area they have been fighting for.
A very good lesson is pointed out.
IL one will only learn. and that is that
the strength of the Germans lies in
their aptitude to follow the dictates of
their government. without question.
Germany is peopled by a race that is
united in thought. word and deed. our
people are from all parts of the world
and are made up of classes that think
and act Independently, and in this
western country particularly, we have
little idea of the immensity of the
struggle that is going on "Over
There"
Let dvery individual amongst us
ponder on the part he or she Is play
ing in this gigantic conflict. 1t is
all very well to say, II am only one
and my services will not amount to
much" Offer your services: stand
by ike a man: cut out squabbling and
differences of political opinions and
jealousies OF other men and join in
whole-hearted support of every ef-
fort your government is making to
win this war before il is brought home
to your doors.
War problems are not settled now
adays in halls or on the streets; il IL
in the trenches and I'm the fields, with
the rifle and hoe. that the eman-
cipation of mankind is brought about.
Our forefathers died TO uphold
freedom. Have we better example
to follow than that laid down by
them?
Again thanking you, Mr. Editor. for
your support, 7 am
Faithfully yours,
c. S. Manchester, Major.

REAL LAW VS.. MOB LAW

lTTARIOUS communities in
! " different parts of the
country have given ex-
amples of hasty action against
parties supposed to be of dis
loyal turn. In some cases it has
been found that the men who
were dealt with were not dis
loyal at all. Taken all in all
mob violence has not accom-
plished the results that are
needed.
Umatilla county has a better
way of dealing with those sup
posed to be off color. We
have an organizations strong
one with comprehensive pow
ers. 1t is backed by determin-
ed men who are not afraid to
go through with such action as
the country's interests demand.
The organization works with
in the law. 1t has found that,
working within entirely legal
limits, it can accomplish won
ders in curbing disloyalty and
in requiring slackers to do their
duty. If you don't believe it
start something and find out.
The weakness of mob vio-
lence is that it is spasmodic,
not deliberate and thorough. 1t
often Furnishes a mild offender
and lets a real traitor go clear.
1t may be very unjust; it is of
ten cowardly. 1t has no proper
machinery for ascertaining the
facts. 1t is lawless and invites
lawlessness.
From standpoint of getting
results and thus serving the
nation there is no comparison
between mob violence and the
sure and certain methods now
in vogue in this county.

Don't Let Catarrh Drag
You into ConsIrmntion

Avoid It's Dangerous Stage.
There is a more serious stage of
Catarrh than the annoyance caused
by the stopped-up air passages, and
the hawking and splitting and other
distasteful features.
The real danger comes from the
tendency Of the disease to continue
its course downward until the lungs
become affected, and then dreaded
consumption Is on your path. Your
own experience has taught you that

tim struck, but she invaria bly, has the satisfaction of hearing the explosion if the torpedo gets home.
 ''This was the experience of a sub marine which patrolling one morning off the Ems, sighted an enemy de- stroyer and fired both tubes at a range of $50 yards. As the submarine dived on firing the result was not seen, but after the lapse of a few seconds there
 was an exceedingly loud explosion which was distinctly heard twenty five miles away
 "A quick sweep around with the periscope two or three minutes later revealed no sign of the destroyer which had been fired at, but 400 yards astern was another vessel of the same kind
 AS the destroyer was not actually seen to be hit at first it appeared likely that in reality there was only one enemy vessel, but after the hear ings and distances had been carefully worked out this did not seem to have been possible. Tn view of the violence of the explosion, 1t is probable that the magazine blew up and that would account for the rapid disappearance of the ship.
 Yet another instance of the total disappearance of the ship may De cited. One of our submarines located an enemy submarine ahead of her and giving chase, reduced the range to 400 yards. Two torpedoes were fired and one was seen to hit When the smoke cleared away there was not the vestige of the hostile vessel to be seen.
 These are but a few of the many instances which could be quoted show ng the silent and stealthy work of he submarine
