A FRIENDLY DEMAND"

According TO yesterdays dispatches, the friendly
demands" made on the Shipping Board by shipyard work
ers for a dollar an hour pay, had, and has behind il, a
threat of a strike to enforce the demand. The law passed
by the senate yesterday may put a bug in that mess of
dumplings and will certainly do so if the house adopts
the senate amendments, concerning work or fight. The
Cummins amendment provides that workers may strike,
but if they do must submit their demands to a board of ar
bitraton and return to work pending a decision or accept
the other horn of the dilemma, and take their place in the
army. The new bill does not conscript labor but it puts a
check on strikes, and compels obedience to the decision of
the board of arbitrators. The bill will become a law none
too soon. One of the peculiarities of the situation is that
the ~shipyard employers do not care what wages are paid,
and are indeed interested in having wages made as high as
possible for the reason that they get ten per cent above
cost and the more a ship costs the more money the ship
yard employer makes. The system is a bride to employ
es to make the cost as great as possible. Of course there
are many shipbuilders who will not take advantage of this
provision, but among so many, it is a dead certainty there
are some who will. There are men so constituted that if
they were making 500 per cent a month profit they would
think up some crooked scheme to double it. This class
will be found among shipbuilders as well as in most other
pursuits. AS a matter of fact there is more or less pro-
fiteering in all classes, labor not being exempt any more
than capital.

FoCH is HINDENBURGS MASTER.

The situation on the western front becomes daily
brighter. This not so much because of the steady gains
made, as for the demonstration that FOch has taken the
Hindenburg measure, and is showing himself the ~latters
superior. 1t is rather a paradox, but Foch is making the
German retreat much slower than it would be if linden
burg was let entirely alone. That distinguished military
leader wants nothing so badly as to remove his army from
where it is to some point further back where it can dig in
and try to defend itself. General Foch is hard hearted
and will not permit this. He is forcing the Germans to
maintain a great rear-guard battle continuously. In or
der to fall back Hindenburg has to withdraw his heavy
artillery first leaving only machine guns to hold the al
lies back while getting it to a safe place. 1t is when ne
leaves his armies in this shape thet Foch strikes. The
result is that the German losses are severe, far greater
than those Of the allies. BY this plan Foch will have the
Teutons greatly weakened when they reach their Old line
and unable to do anything except make a defensive fight
This is what makes the situation brighter than at any
time since the war began. The Huns power has passed the
peak, and is on the down grade, while his enemies are IN
creasing at a rate that will soon give them double his
strength. While the British and French are dong all the
fighting, and beating the enemy back without any especial
help from the Americans other than their holding a large
sector Of the front, it is no doubt part of Fochs plan to
keep the Americans out Of it and h.ld them for a mighty
stroke when the occasion offers. When they are again
sent into the fight at full strength there is going to be
some interesting reading matter in the German papers, IL
they print the full news. Foch is using the same tactics
the coyote uses on the town dog, when he gets his head
pointed one way the coyote, which always fights in pairs,
pets busy al the end that is not watching, and when the
surprise causes the dog to turn suddenly, the other coyote
takes a snap at the unguarded point. He is keeping Hin
denburg busy changing ends, and will eventually wear
him out.

who has been making his way through
the world will be placed absolutely on
the same basis in this army life.
DR.. Doney announced today that il
was not determined whether the univer
sity would build the regulation barracks
Or whether some of the buildings now
owned bv the university would be re
modelled for army life, Chancellor e.
lott Of Montana was in the city today
in conference with university officials
and the result of this conference has not
as yet been announced. Chancellor FL.
lott is regional director Of the eduea-
tional committee of the war department
for the northwest.
When the young man enters the uni
versity this fall and enlists in the army
student training corps, his pay from the
government will be $50. However, as
soon as his draft number is reached by
the local exemption board he becomes
subject to call at any time, but is per-
mitted to continue his studies. But with
the call of his draft number, the gov
ernment then pays for his board and
keep at the barracks. Before his call,
from the $50 a month, he is obliged to
pay his share of living in the barracks.
Students may take up any course of
study they wish. The army training is
just that much additional. This training
is that the men may later be sent to
the Preside to complete a course for as
signments as officers in the army.
Boys under the age of Is years, who
can pass the examinations to enroll at
the university, will also be given the
advantages Of military training. These
younger boys may enroll but not official
ly enlist until they have reached the
age Of Is. They will be given military
training but receive no pay from the
government.
DR.. Doney reports that at the Presid-
10 several of the Willamette boys were
asked to apply for commissions, but all
decided to return to Salem and continue
their studies for the coming year. The
government has not as yet announced
the name of the officer to be assigned
to Willamette university.

Ripping Rhymes
BRACE UP
by Walt Mason

Cheer up, the heat may take the starch from you, this
time O year, but there will be no heat in March, and
March will soon be here. Cheer up, though feeling half
way dead, exhausted by the grind; there's always solace
just ahead, and history behind. Cheer up, if tired of buy
ing ice, which Trims your meagre roll; for soon you will
dig up the price for loads of slate and coal. Cheer up if
war news shows reverse for armies of our own; the Teuts
will strike a whole lot worse than ever we have known.
Cheer up if bread is lacking wheat, and long on bran and
chaff; the tempting loaf you do not eat means some Huns
epitaph. Cheer up il all our wires seem crossed, and gov
eminent diseased; believe me, everything's not lost be-
cause you are not pleased. Cheer up if Foch is doing
things you do not understand; he's out to get some Bulgar
kings, and see some kaisers canned. If some ~discomforts
You should know, don't spring a grouehy wheeze; our boys
who face the fighting foe don't bask on beds of ease.
Cheer up! Let every word and deed be of a hopeful style;
cheer up, for other people need the comfort of your smile.

For several months the Kentucky sem

his last hours thar he would recover.
His wife, Mrs. O. NJ. James. and
