Clarence Barr received an honor
able discharge and arrived from Los
Angeles la4 week. Mr.. Barr enlisted
a few days after war was declared,
but after ten months OF training in
the navy aviation corps was rejected
because Of ear trouble. Still un-
daunted. he went to Klamath Falls TO
register for the next draft, hoping for
another chance. Such persistence is
commandable and in time brings its
own reward. Oftentimes greater he
roism is required Of those who re-
main in seeming obscurity, than Of
the strong who are impelled onward
by the activity of warfare. ''He that
ruleth his spirit is stronger than the
mighty. Doris Times.

PRIZES OFFERED FOR
BEST SCHOOL PLAY

University of Oregon, Eugene.
March 25. To stimulate interest in
dramatic work, the students Of the
department of public speaking Of the
University of Oregon have offered
prizes of SIS and SO each for the
two best original plays suitable for
high school production.
A. F. Reddie, head of the depart
ment, says that there seems to be a
great dearth of really worthwhile
plays suitable for high school use,
and that the demand for such plays
is large. At present, he says, high
royalty is attached to almost every
good play, and many of the smaller
schools, unable to afford these royal
ties, either go without or take works
of less dramatic value.
This contest is open to everyone,
and the exact dates when it will be
closed will be announced in the next
issue of the Extension Monitor, a
publication of the extension division,
in which will also appear a discus
sion of the possibilities of state
theatre in connection with the uni
versity.
Professor Reddie has heartily
urged any one interested in play pro-
duction to take part in this contest
and promises that the work will get
lots of publicity and full recognition,
il it is worth anything at all.

Right of way deeds involved in the
construction Of the Roberts hill cut
off on the Pacific Highway have been
executed by the farmers along the
route in Douglas county covering
practically the entire route from Win
stons to Myrtle Creek. Settlement
has practically been made with all the
land owners except ]. H. Booth, for
the right Of way through his farm
near Dole. Up to the present the fol-
lowing right of way transactions ap-
pear on the records of the county
court: Victor Phipps, s4,35O; S. E.
Moore, 1913; Rodney R. Knott,
$4,000; Martin Brucker, $3.50. Set
tlement has also been effected with
S. c. Miller and sons and with Mrs.
Ella Thompson, although the transac-
tions have not yet been fully complet-
ed or made of record. The above fig
ures include all fencing costs, the

in country elevators and mills, which
was supplemented by frank admis-
sion at the food administration that
existing flour stocks are only 80 per
cent of the normal quantity needed
until July 1.
Food administration officials
thought the departments estimate Of
$50, 900, 900 bushels of wheat in ele-
yators and on farms March l was op-
timistic, and said their best informa-
tion was that 125,eO0,0OO bushels
was the greatest amount that could
be expected.
The allies have been promised 9O,-
5000 bushels of grain between
January and July /. There is no in
tention of failing to carry out this
program, which is regarded as the
most important duty now confronting
the American people. Owing to
shortage OF transportation, the great
er part of the export program re-
mains to be carried out. and the
wheat must be obtained from the
scant supply in this country by cur
tailment OF individual consumption
The only alternative to fairure, in
the opinion of food officials. is sacri-
flee by individuals.

The Roseburg high school cadets
are fast becoming one of the most
important military organizations in
the county, and during the past two
weeks have been accomplishing
great deal in their drill work. The
organization is composed of So high

"Prussianism and the idea of endur-
ing peace among nations can never
be brought into harmony; compromise
cannot even be considered" Robert
Lansing. secretary of state, declared
here today in an address as honorary
chancellor of Union College for 1918.
Instance after instance from his own
experience at the head of Americas
foreign office was cited TO prove his
point because, he asserted, "Ameri-
cans, even those intellectually equip
ped, have but vague ideas of the atti-
tude that made Prussianism posi-
bIe.''
GIT is fact not generally KNOWN"
said Secretary Lansing, that within
/ six weeks after the Imperial govern
lment had, in the case of the Sussex,
given this government it's solemn
promise that it would cease ruthless
slaughter on the high seas, Count Won
Bernstorff, approaching the worth
lessness of the promise, asked the
Berlin foreign office to advise him in
ample time before the campaign sub
marine murder was renewed in order
that he might notify the German
merchant ships in American harbors
to destroy their machinery, because
he anticipated that the renewal of
that method of warfare would, in all
probability, bring the United States
into the war.
How well the ambassador knew
/ the character of his government and
how perfectly frank he was! He
asked for the information without
opology or indirection. The very
bluntness of his message shows he
was sure his superiors would not take
offense at the assumption that their
word was valueless and had only been
given to gain time and that, when an
increase of Germany's submarine fleet
warranted, the promise would be

GERMANS REPEATING IN ITALY
BRUTALITIES WHICH MADE THEM
INFAMOUS IN LITTLE BELGIUM

The same kinds Of brutal oppres-
sion and outrage that shocked the
world when Belgium was invaded are
being practiced on the Italian popu-
la&fon in the occupied towns of
northern Italy by the German and
Austrian troops according to a state
ment made public today by DR.. Felice
Ferrero, director of the Italian Bur
eau of Information, SOL Fifth avenue.
The Venice Gazettino prints an inter-
view with an Italian officer who re-
Gently escaped from an Austrian pris-
en- camp
The enemys' troops" said this Of
ficer, during the first days of the
occupation, apparently with vicious
intent, did everything humanity posi-
BILE to terrify the civilian population.
With fierce shouts they SwaFmed up
and down the streets, battering in
doors and windows and entering
Houses in search of food and wine.
Furniture was broken up and thrown
into the streets, where it was heape1
into huge bonfres which became the
icenters of crazy celebrations.
Young women hid themselves in
terror in the most remote corners of
the houses, but many outrages were
committed"
Another officer who recently es-
capped, says that he drove a German
soldier from a house at st. Michele di
Piave who was trying to overpower Il
young girl, after stabbing her and an
cid man who had run to her assist
ance.
A soldier who had likewise escaped
says that he saw in a street of Pc.
venigo the body of a girl who had
Jumped from a window to escape tbs
violence of two German officers
About the body had gathered tht
women and the old men of the towr
who were cursing the invaders. The
soldier said that an old man by tbs
reme of Stevana di Caneva wa:
threatened with a revolver by two
other German officers because he re
fused to abandon a girl who haC
called him to save her. Later h,
was informed that the officers ha;
rerpetrated the outrage and that thu
whole population of the town was in
tensely aroused.
While such outra ges have dimin
ished owing to fear of uprising by tn
higher officers OF the invaders, evel
more acute suffering has been heapet
upon the populacs. Pillage has beel
succeeded by regular and systemati
spoiIation. Houses are searched an
all valuables that were saved from

eminent agents, These have bee
forwarded to Austria. The excus
given for this robbery was that tn
goods seized were needed by the pop
plation of the Isonzo who, it is allege
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1918-06-10

by the Austrians, had been ill-treated
more than 100 pounds in weight have
been confiscated and kitchen utensils
have been seized. The households
are subject to almost daily detailed
inspections and the walls of the
towns are covered with menacing bull
letins. The whole population exists
in daily terror and so much food has
been seized that the women and chill
dren have scarcely enough to main
tain themselves. The rules and regu-
lations laid down by the invaders are
alties for violation are so extreme
that it is practically impossible for
anyone, even in the commonest walks
of life, to escape punishment.
In the beginning the clergy accept
ed the invaders with indulgent neu-
trality but gradually they were i'm
pressed by the continuous and AFRO
CANT invasions of even the most in
significant civil rights. They now
openly espouse the cause of the OPP
pressed population.
One of the OFFICERS quoted by the
Gazettino, said that a priest in a
liturgy introduced a line beseeching
heaven to bless the King and Italy's
army. Austrian soldiers assisting
at the ceremony, were indignant and
reported the matter to the military
governor. The population had been
so aroused, however, by the various
oppressive acts of the invaders that
the military authorities dared not
punish the priest.
Large quantities of Checks are
forced upon the people by the officers
and men. These are inscribed with
such bitter humor as "Seek payment
from Cadorna," and will be paid by
Jesus Christ" Up to the time of this
officers escape, no checks, even those
issued by the Austrian officers in good
faith, had been paid.
The silver of the country is being
systematically withdrawn from circu-
lation and being replaced by Austrian
banknotes. The silver is being sent
| to the Interior of Austria. No arti
cles sold by the Austrian government
authorities can be paid for except with
silver. 49,
| The fear of a rebellion on the part
of the invaders is indicated by the
extraordinary precautions taker
whenever an Austrian official visit:
any of the towns in athe occupied
territory. People are ordered tt
| stay indoors and not to appear at the
| windows. Streets, traversed by tbs
officials, are lined with soldiers witt
fixed bayonets. Even King Charles
during a recent visit to the Austrian
front, did not see a single one of hi
temporary Subjects" so fearful were
the authorities of an anti-Austrial
| demonstration.

broken without hesitation or com
junction What commentary on
Bernstorff's estimate of the sense of
honor and 'good faith of his govern
ment!
In view of this spirit of hypocrisy
and bad faith, manifesting an entire
lack of conscience, we ought not to
be astonished that the Berlin foreign
office never permitted a promise or a
treaty to stand in the way of a course
of action that the German govern
raent deemed expedient. Indeed not
cite as proof of this fact the f1lagrant
violations of the treaty neutralizing
Belgium and the recent treaty Of
Brest Litovsk. This discreditable
characteristic of German foreign pol
icy was accepted by German diplo-
mats as a matter of course and as
neutral, if not a praiseworthy method
of dealing with other governments.
The causes of the war, Mr.. Lansing
said, were simply the German desire
for world dominion.
THAT was and is the central thought
of Prussiauism," he said. 'It excited
the cupidity of the governing and
wealthy classes Of empire; it dazzled
with it's anticipated glories and by it's
promise of a Boosted racial superior
ity the German millions who were to
be the instrument of achievement.
With devotion and zeal worthy Of
better cause they turned their energy
into those channels which would, aid
the ruling classes.
I'VE must go on with the war.
There is no other war. This task
must not be left half done. We must
not transmit to posterity a legacy Of
blood and misery. We may in this
great conflict go down into the valley
of shadows because our foe is pow
erful and Injured to war. We must be
I prepared to meet disappointment and
temporary reverse, but we must with
American spirit rise above them; with
| courageous hearts we fust go for
ward until this war is won.''
