KAISER SHEDS SOME DELUSIoNs.

The kaiser tells his troops so the dispatches of today
state that his soldiers outnumbered by the Americans
This must be difficult acknowledgement to make after
telling them that the United States could not equip
port to Europe and maintain there an army worth the
least consideration Furthermore he told them that it
would be impossible for any nation to train army in
less than from three to five years.
How it must have opened the eyes of the head Of
German efficiency and kutur to find that the United
States could in short time raise army of 100000
starting from nothing, train and equip them trans
port 100000 across the and large per cent of
these up to the actual fighting all in fifteen months
German efficiency would probably still have been plan
ming how to do the job if it had been up to them And
the kasers assertion that his are outnumbered
have the Prussan armies single victory against
equal superior forces in this war; except when saugh
terng the unarmed betrayed mobs of Russia? Man to
the kaisers have been beaten in every battle
and today he hasn't enough left in his empire to
stop the advonce Of million Yankee boys of the kind
shipping there And another significant fact
about the situation is that good many of the Yankees
are of German-Amercan parentage who have repudat-
ed the kaiser for good and ALL That fact has also given
Wilhelm shock that will stay with him as long as he
lives.

Portland Police Throw
Innocent Man Into Jail

One of the registrants who were to
entrain from Salem July 25, but who
was rejected at the last moment on ac-
count of defective ear drums, tells a
tale that does not reflect with much
credit on the Portland police. After be-
ing REJECTED last Thursday, he return
cd to Portland but failed to ask the
exemption board here for his final
classification card. Saturday evening,
according to his narrative, he was pick
cd up by plain clothes man and as
he had no credentials or card, was jail
ed.
He was not given permission to tele-
phone the local exemption board here,
and it was not until he had been in
Jail over night that he happened to re-
member he had in his room at hote.,
letter written him by the Salem
board. He says he asked a police Off
Ger to 60 to his room and get the letter
but the officer would not do so until
he was given $5 for his trouble After
the letter was found, the plain clothes
man thought it was no good, but tho
higher police officials recognized it as
coming from an exemption board and
permitted the Salem registrant to go.
1t was Sunday afternoon before he was
released, according to the information
he gave the Salem board.
