PESHASTIN

Miss Adeline Page gave a class
party Tuesday evening. The party
was both business and pleasure in
nature.
Mrs. r. A. Merritt, of Everett,
spent a few days in Peshastin this
week. Mrs. Merritt came here to
visit the Royal Neighbors Auxiliary
to the Woodmen of the World. The
Royal Neighbors were organized
three years ago. Tuesday evening
the Royal Neighbors held a meeting
at which time they received new
members.
Miss Albright, from Tacoma, is
visiting in Peshastin. She is the
guest of the Gilberts and the Brad
legs.
Mr.. C. L. Baxter, of Seattle, ar
rived in Peshastin Wednesday, and
will spend some time on his ranch.
The Peshastain Red Cross will
give a benefit dance Wednesday ev-
ening, August 14th, in the new Pc
shastin warehouse. The warehouse
was recently completed and the Red
Cross dance is the first affair to be
given in the new structure. Besides
enjoying the dance the guests will
have the opportunity of seeing the
interior of the new packing plant.
The committee in charge of the
dance are making extensive plans
for this affair. They expect TO
serve something different for re-
freshments-som sweet but
sugarless.
Good music will be furnished for
the dancing.
The Peshastin Red Cross extends
an invitation to the people of the up
per Wenatchee valley to attend the
dance and see the new warehouse.
The proceeds of the dance will be
given to the Peshastin Red Cross TO
buy materials with which to supply
the needs of our soldiers.

LETTERS FROM SOLDIER
BOYS
From the Boys at Camp Lewis.


Privates N. w. Peterson and o. 7.
Powers, 33rd Co., 166 tn Depot Bri-
gade, Camp Lewis, send us the fol-
lowing, which evidently expresses
their sentiments, with the request
that we print it. They think it may
interest some of their friends around
the old home:
THE KAISER's TALK TO HE'LL
The Kaiser called the devil up on the
phone one day,
The girl at central listened to all
they had to say.
"Hell ?" she heard the Kaiser's
voice.
as old man Satan homer"
Just tell him it is Kaiser Bill
Who. wants him on the phone"
The devil said "Hello," to Bill,
And Bill said "How are you?"
Pm running here a hell on earth
30 tell me WlldI W no.
"What can I do" the devil said,
NV dead old Kaiser Bill,
If there's anything that I can do
To help you, sure I will"
The Kaiser said "Now listen, and
will try to tell
The way that I am running on earth
a modern hell.
I've saved for this for many years,
And I've started out to kill.
That it will be a modern job,
You leave to Kaiser Bill.
My army went through Belgium,
Shooting women and children down;
We tore up all her country,
And blew up all her towns.
Ny Zeppas dropped bombs on cities,
Killing both old and young,
And those the Zeppas didn't get,
We've taken out and hung"
81 started on for Paris with the aid
of poison gas,
The Belgians, damn 'em, stopped us
and would not let us pass.
My submarines are devils,
Why, you should see them fight,
They go sneaking through the sea,
And sink a ship at night.
az was running things to suit me
till a year or so ago,
A man called Woodrow Wilson
wrote me to go more slow.
we have told you for the last time
Co, dear Bill, it's up to you.
And if you do not stop it
You have got to fight us too
81 did not listen to him and he's
coming after me
With his million Yankee soldiers
from their homes across the sea.
Now, that's the reason why I called
you, Satan,
For I want advice from you.
7 knew that you would tell me
lust what I ought to do"
MY dear old Kaiser William,
There's not much for me to tell,
For the Yanks will make it hotter
Than I can for you in hell.
I've been a mean old devil,
But not half so mean as you,
And the minute that you get here
I will give my job to you.
I'll be ready for your coming,
And I'll keep the fires all bright,
And I'll have your room all ready
Win the Yanks begin to fight.
For the boys in blue will get you:
have nothing more to tell.
Hang up the phone and get your hat
'rd meet me here in hell"

WAR PROGRESS SATISFACTORY
ALLIES STILL ADVANCING



munitions and transport were not so
important; it is well-nigh incon
neivable under existing conditions.
eff Ludendorff elects to strike the
British, however, he can employ lit
| tie more than twenty-five divisions
of reserves, so great has been the
consumption of shock troops in re-
cent months. Four months ago ne
brought off his Picardy success with
forty divisions, followed immediate
" by another forty. But the British
have now at least ninety full divis-
ions on the Western front, equal in
strength to at least one hundred
German divisions. They almost GER
tainly outnumber the Germans be-
fore them, and the mass of their
divisions are in better condition than
those of the enemy.
"The reason for this is simple.
The German has steadily pursued
the policy of milking most of his di-
visions of the best men in order to
create a CERTAIN number of shock
divisions. This has given him won
derful strikink force, but it has had
two evil consequences. 1t has mater
tally lowered the value of all but
the selected divisions. and it has en-
| tailed a disproportionate loss among
the best in his man power, since the
shock troops were used in the ter
ribly expensive first assaults in the
various offensives.
"As it stands. Foch can afford to
let the Germans make the first
| move. and for moral if not for mil
itary reasons, they can hardly re-
frain from making this move. But
Z has become exceedingly risky for
them to undertake a new offensive,
which would eat up the last reserve
divisions of shock troops and insure
q counter-thrust if it failed, coun-
| ter-thrust bound to be exceedingly
| dangerous. as the Marine experience
| mas just ucIlOIlSlT dIeN
GAS far as one can see, the wait
| ing game, with certain clear modifi-
cations. remains the best game for
the allied commander-n-chief. His
numbers are growing, he has mas
| tered the new German method of
attack. he has pulled down both the
strength and the confidence of his
foes enormously, and he is in po-
sition to profit instantly by any mis-
calculation of theirs.
"If the Germans try a new often
sive and fail. then may come the
moment for the general offensive of
the allies
"Ludendorff is not likely again 10
nossess the initiative, as he did from
March 81 to July Is. The condi-
tions have entirely changed, and
Foch is in a far different situation,
having the power to deal blow for
blow with Ludendorff. meet often
sve with nter-offensive, and wait
or strike as he may choose, instead
of waiting to be struck, as he has
had to do hitherto for many months.
Ludendorff may have to strike
whether he is in a condition 20
bring off a great success or not, be-
cause of political reasons, but when
political begin to interfere with mil
itary reasons disasters come thick
and fast, as the French experience
in the last war with Gernany dem
.onstrated"

|. w. W'ISM AND
BOLSHEVIkISM TO SAME END

Continued from page three
1, it is the purpose of the govern
ment to control, as far as possible,
the employment of labor. Ten
thousand private employment agen-
cies throughout the United States
will be forced out of business.
Similar work has been carried on
successfully in England since the be-
ginning of the war.
President Wilson, in a message
upon this subject dated June II,
said: California draws its unskilled
labor from as far Yeast as Buffalo;
New York from as far west as the
Mississippi; thus labor has been IN
duced to move fruitlessly from one
point to another, congesting the
railways and losing both time and
money" Labor has been urged by
the President to respond as Loyalty
as heretofore to calls issued by the
government employment service for
voluntary enlistment in essential in
dustry The President adds "And
I ask for both alike to remember
that no sacrifice will have been IN
vain if we are able to prove, beyond
all question, that the highest and
best form of efficiency is the spon-
taneous cooperation of free peo-
ple."
Fundamental Laws"
United States Senator James E.
Watson of Indiana, in discussing
government ownership, said that he
had been a student of the subject all
his life, and that he had likewise
devoted some time to the study of
Fundamental principles and the un-
DERIVING policies of socialism" SEN
ator Watson declares that in the
legislation aiming at taking over
huge property interests that the
doors have been opened to policy
(which, if relentlessly pursued,
means inevitable changes in our
form of government"
In the new policy extending gov
eminent control over our industrial
institutions, Senator Watson discov-
ers the danger that fundamental
law" is being swept aside, and he
declares that the basic ideas of gov
eminent are being overturned, with
the result that we are led to suspect
damentals hallucination, and law
and order irridescent terms" He as
serts that our whole fabric of gov
eminent may even become only ga
Utopia that can never be realized
among men,"
Senator Watson predicts that I'M
less congress checks the onrushing
tide that all factories engaged in
the manufacture of munitions and
supplies will eventually be laid hold
of, and all the industries of the
United States, save possibly agricul-
ture, will soon pass under govern
ment control. Senator Watson
voiced the opinion that conditions
are heading the United States to-
ward socialism. Public dissent is
easily quoted, he points out by a
course like that adopted with the
railroads, when an increase of $780,
100000 in wages of railway en-
ployes followed speedily upon the
heels of government control

WILL 1T FEEL B0UNDi

The actions of the legislatures OF
the various states on the prohibition
amendment will doubtless bring to
light many odd attempts of state con-
stitutions to control the matter OF
ratification.
Possibly no other state makes a
stranger attempt than Missouri to
regulate federal amendments. The
Missouri declaration of rights in Arti-
Gle 2, Section 2, reads: That the
people of the State have the inherent,
sole and exclusive right to regulate
internal government and police there
of, and to alter and abolish their con-
stitution and form of government and
police thereof, and to alter and abol-
ish their constitution and form of
government whenever they deem it
necessary to their safety and happi-
ness: Provided, such change be not
repugnant to the constitution of the
United States.
This was stricken from Missouri's
constitution in 1865, but the trainers
of Missouri's present constitution were
not satisfied with it entirely missing.
They made Section 3, read as follows:
THAT Missouri is a free and indie
pendent state, subject only to the
constitution of the United States; and
as the preservation of the states and
the maintenance of their governments
are necessary to the indestructible
union, and were intended to coexist
with it, the legislature is not author
ICED to adopt, nor will the people of
this state ever assent to any amend
ment or change in the constitution of
the United States which may in any
wise impair the right Of local self
government belonging to the people
of this State"

LONG LIVE THE POTATO

The potato has gone unlauded
through the long centuries since its
opportune discovery although in its
way it is almost as much a khaki
clad hero as the men it feeds. 1t
helped Make Sir Walter Raleigh
famous and ever since it wrenched
the Michaels and Patricks of ancient
days from the jaws of starvation it
has been the poor mans daily delight
served up to him boiled. hot and cold.
and the rich mans necessary food
designated on his menu as au gratin,
lyonnaise or scalloped
And now the tuber is doing its duty
as a substitute. Bread, crackers and
cake are made from potato -four
The latest of its accomplishments
seems almost incomprehensible; mix
ed with oleomargarine it is taking
buffers place. Long live the potato.

be smart, or "she was nothing" She.
OF course, had the normal girls desire
for love and attention, and she got
very little of either when she first
grew up, so she made three resolves.
and called them her three sums. They
were: That she would make every
one like her; that she would become

things? We will let the reader find
