FORMER CHEROKEE COUNTY
CITIZEN GAINS PROMOTION
Chas. E. COe, Son of Mr.. and Mrs. s.
7. COe, West of Town, Given
Deserved Promotion

As a complet surprise to Mr.. Chas
Z. Coe, who has been in charge Of TIN
local Indian agency for nearly twC
years, he today received an appoint
ment to the position of special super
visor and was directed to file his pen
al bond with the Indian office a
Washington, D. c., in the sum of SIS,
900. g.
It will be remembered that about
six months ago the department Of the
Interior decided to discontinue the 10
cal Indian office, but as no steps had
been taken to dissolve it there has
been doubts as to what action would
be taken regarding the matter. Az
the appointment did not give any as
signment Of territory it is not under
stood whether the new supervisor will
remain in this district and continue
in charge of the work here or not but
no doubt the agency will be advised
soon.
It is a well recognized fact that
more has been accomplished under
the administration Of Mr.. Coe in be-
half of the Indians under his juris-
diction during his two years of in
cumbency than was accomplished
during even a longer period at any
time previous. The fact that he
has been unsolicftedly given an ap-
pointment to one Of the higher rank
ing offices in the field service speaks
for itself of the high esteem the de-
bartment must have for his integrity
and ability to handle the work plac-
ed in his hands.
While here in Roseburg, Mr.. and
Mrs. Coe have made many close
friends who will be pleased to learn
Of their good fortune.
The above was clipped from the
Roseberg, Oregon, Evening News, Of
recent date, and viii afford the rela-
tives, former friends and neighbors
Of Mr.. COe much pleasure. Chas. E.
COe grew to manhood in this county,
received his early education and
training here, and is claimed as
Cherokee county prOduct-One in
which all Citizens may take commend,
able pride.

LIST ALIENS THIS WEEK
All Will Be Required to Register
Between Monday and Satur-
day

Warrington, Feb. THE depart
ment of justice has received many re-
quests for special ruling on the cit
i.enship of aliens in preparing for the
nationwide registration of German
enemy aliens this week. A special
corps of lawyers has worked inces-
sanity on the questions which are in
creasing in number as the registra-
tion days draw near.
All unnaturalized German males
above the age of IA, of whom about
100000 are in the United States, will
lie required to register during the
present week, with the police of cities
above 5000 population and with post
masters of smaller communities or
rural districts. There will be no
charge except for the four copies of a
photograph which the registrant must
furnish. The subjects Of Austria
Hungary and women are not compell-
ed to register.
Men born in the United States Of
German parents or fully naturalized
here need not register, but those who
have taken out only their first papers
will have to enroll. Former residents
Of Alsace-Lorraine born there after
the German seizure in 1871 are re-
garded as enemy aliens, even though
they are of French descent and SYM
pathies.

Putting Pep" Into Canadian and English Loans

(" HESE are sad. sad days for the
conservative Britisher and
Canadian. my old friend the
Canadian publicity man. who
(, was in town this week, tells
me.
The reason is that both on the
island and in the provinces American
methods of publicity are being intro
duced in order to get the real-hip-
hooray spirit into the people.
To the great grief Of the conserva-
tives. the people like these bang-up
circus methods. too, SO there appears to
be little hope that the good old pacific
days Of dignifled living ever will re-
turn. The conservatives sigh and de.
clare that all the world IS going to pot.
but they can do nothing.
Prohibition was the first thing on
which the circus methods Of Ameri-
cans were tried. and they took with
a whoop. Now they are going to use
them on the forthcoming victory loan;
and. believe me, I know that when
Canada gets through with the next
loan campaign she will think that
she has had a shot Of hop In her arm. I
know because the publicity man for
the loan outlined for me a few of
the things he intended to do to put
the loan over the top.
y
This particular publicity man has
had experience in both the Canadian
and British prohibition campaigns
and has seen the growing tendency Of
the Canadians to become demonstra-
tive in victory loan campaigns. SO
he knows what he Is talking about
How well his methods have sue
ceeded thus far may be judged by
the fact that all provinces Of Cam
ada are dry. and he was called to
England to help put over wartime
prohibition there. His work was so
successful that another call came for
him to return to Canada and help
the victory loan. His methods have
teen criticised as too American" by
some. but many others like them.
They are very American too. for he
got his first ideas for them when he
came to Harvard to study some years
ago.
AS an eye-opener in the prohibition
campaign this particular man took
Billy Sunday to Canada to talk for
the "drys." When the conservatives
heard of this their monocles crashed
to the floor. But Billy put it over in

And then he went after them hammer
and tongs. 1t was quite a session.
The floating Of Canadian and United
States loans differs greatly. The first
and second loans were assimilated
mostly by bankers. There were no dis
plays. no bands, no public canvassing.
The gentlemanly bankers conducted the
campaign very largely from behind huge
mahogany desks, and thus the dignity
Of the provinces was saved.
But tho loans were failures.

EUROPEAN DRAMATIsTs. BY Archi.
bald Henderson. author Of Inter
prefers of Life" etc. Cincinnati:
Stewart & Kidd Company.
strindberg. Ibsen. Maeterlinck,
Wilde. Shaw, Granville Barker and
Arthur Schnitzler-these are the
dramatists whom Mr.. Henderson
brings to critical accounting in this
volume. They come together here by
virtue of their common seizure Of the
modern spirit, their common rejec-
ton Of the classic tradition, their
common pre-occupatfon with one or
another Of the salient meanings Of
society in it's Immediate manifesto
tions. What is the attitude Of each
of these dramatists toward life
toward that which his dramas seek
to condense and crysta1lize and set
up bodily before one? What is his
attitude, on. the other hand. toward
this objectifying medium-toward the
art Of the drama2 With which is he
the more preoccupied-with life itself
or with art as the interpreter of life?
Is this art of the realistic kind or
does it work through the medium of
impressionism? What of the per-
sonality. the outlook, the inherencies
Of the dramatist himself? And how
do these compare, roughly. one with
another? These. in general. are the
questions underlying the purpose of
Mr. Henderson in this critical survey.
To this scheme of investigation the
writer brings a finely critical instru-
ment of appraisal, intimate
knowledge, seasoned opinions, a keen
