WENATCHFE MAN WAS
BLINDED BY WOUNDS
VIM. c. Nelson Has Terrible Mis-
fortune-Was Afterward Made
Prisoner

Wenatchee's only prisoner of war,
Vim. C. Nelson, is officially announced
as released from the Hun war prison
at Rastaat and returned to France.
His brother, Harry Nelson, has re-
ceived telegram from the adjutant
generals office in Washington, noti-
flying him of this fact. Last May VIM.
C. Nelson was one of party of volun-
teers who captured a machine gun
nest In the attempt, however, Nell
son lost his eyesight as the result of
being wounded with machine gun bull
lets and was afterward taken a pris-
oner and had been in a German prison
camp ever since. 1t was not until Au-
gust that his brother in Wenatchee
heard from him direct. One letter re-
eeived from the prisoner stated that
he was being moved from one prison
camp to another, and while enjoying
the charges he was unable to see the
sights.

ROSWELL McNETT HAS FLU

Hurrying home on account of the
death of his brother, Roswell McNett
left Chicago last Tuesday sick from
an attack of influenza. He arrived
here last Saturday morning very sick
and was at once taken to the home of
his parents, Mr.. and Mrs. H. S. Nc
Nett, where he is being attended by
DR.. Judah. While he has been very
sick there have been no indications of
pneumonia and yesterday he was re-
ported to be resting easier.
Yesterday afternoon Roswell Nc
Nett was reported as resting easy and
apparently somewhat improved. Ar
rangements have been made to delay
the burial of his brother, DR.. Frank
McNett until after the recovery of
Roswell. Where interrment will take
place has not been determined.

VALLEY ORCHARDISTS WIN
APPLE ROUTE FIGHT
Are Now on Equality With Yakima
Shippers, Who Formerly Had
Better Rate

For the past ten years the Wenat-
chez Commercial club and the Wenat-
chee shippers have waged a fight
with the Great Northern to secure a
fruit rate into Canadian markets
equal to that given Yakima by the
Northern Pacific.
Announcement was made this week
in tariff sheet 1884 by the Great
Northern that effective December 26
it will cut the rate to Canadian points
equal to that given Yakima shippers.
There is still some little. differential
against shipping points north of Pa
teros, but these are all on a par with
many stations in the Yakima valley.
The differential in the past has been
SO strong that Wenatchee valley ship
pers were barred from a great por-
ton of the Canadian territory, but
with the reduction it means that the
Wenatchee fruit will get into markets
now dominated by Yakima shippers.
Apple shipments out of the Wenat-
.chee district continued to shatter all
previous records. Saturday forty-five
cars went east and one west. One
year ago shipments practically
stopped December and only few
struggling cars were sent out after
that date, owing to the extreme cold
weather then Dreyailinp in the Rocky
mountain territory.

VALLEY FRUIT GROWERS
LIVING ON EASY STREET
Prosperity Permits Them to Spend the
Winter On the Coast or in
California

We only know personally some
twenty Wenatchee Valley fruitgrowers
who have either gone to Seattle or
California to spend the winter but
have heard of some forty others who
have hied themselves to a different
cline to put in the winter. Some to
see the bright lights in Seattle and
others to bask in the sunshine of
southern California.
Our old and valued friend C. w.
Moore and his wife, both we'll known
to the people of Leavenworth because
of their long residence and connection
with our public schools, left just be-
fore Christmas for southern Califor-
MIA. after disposing of the apple
crop from a ten acre orchard he had
over eight thousand dollars left, and
rightly thought he could afford to
take rest and change of scene that
California had to offer. We know of
another who had $4,100 left from a
five acre orchard tract.
George Beam, known to old timers
as one time carpenter and contractor
in Leavenworth, has ten thousand to
spend on the west coast, but depend
on it, George has too much sense to
blow himself. Frank Wingate of our
neighboring town of Peshastin also
made nice cleanup this year and has
gone back to his old home in New
York to spend the next three months.
We could string this out to eight or
ten more but whats the use, it only
makes one regret that he is not the
owner of an apple orchard. AS a
consequence some apple orchards have
been changing hands at high valua-
tionN recently, and others are talked
about and some will be closed. The
owner of an apple orchard may truth
fully be said to reside on easy street.
II may here be said that the pros
poets for this part of the country for
the coming year were never brighter
The Leavenworth echo. [volume] (Leavenworth, Wash.) 1904-current, 1918-12-27

sition to the executive is regarded
much more seriously than it is here.
Under a parliamentary form of gov
ernment the present attitude OF the
senate is tantamount to an expression
of lack of confidence in the executive.
The passage of such a resolution as
that presented by Mr.. Knox in the
countries mentioned, would instantly
produce a change in the ruling force
of the government. 1t would be equiv
alent to a reputation of the executive.
Hence the report current that the
president is to hurry back to counsel
with the senate and secure either a
compromise or definite approval of
whatever it is he is to present to the
peace conference.
But he will have to hurry. Indica-
tions are that Immediately after the
holidays the Knox resolution will be
brought up, with excellent chances of
being adopted by the senate, at least
in some form which will demand leav-
ing the league of nations and freedom
of the seas issues to consideration by
a separate international conference.
Senator James Hamilton Lewis is pre-
pairing an elaborate speech opposing
on behalf of the administration, the
Knox resolution, and this will be one
of the first things on the program.
1t is possible that he will make an eff
fort to have the senate indorse blindly
and without further knowledge what
ever the president proposes, but in the
opinion of the older senators he will
make a mistake from the administra-
ton point of view if he endeavors to
force anything of the kind just now.
The temper of the senate is distinct
lively against any blind approval.

RACE PREJUDICE
MAY CAUSE WAR
Japanese Minister of Justice Thinks
ColOred Races viii Demand Same
Treatment as Whites

Belief that the next war will be the
out come of race prejudices is ex-
pressed by Yukio Ozaki, formerly
minister, of justice, and leading
member of the constitutional party.
Mr.. Ozaki said that in his opinion, the
colored races, which steadily were de-
veloping their civilization, would de-
nland finally the same treatment as
the white races, and that the result
would be an armed collision.
Mr.. Ozaki recommended that at the
peace conference, Japan acting in be-
half of all the Asiatic races, should
introduce the racial and population
questions for consideration, and if pos
sible secure a solution.
In a country like Japan, where the
population is increasing with alarming
rapidity, he said it was but natural
that the surplus population should try
to obtain an outlet even by resorting
to arms. From Japan's standpoint,
said Mr.. Ozaki, the racial or popula-
ton questions were more important
than President Wilson's fourteen
points," as laid for a basis of Ger
many's surrender. These racial ques-
tions, he said, concerned the future of
millions of souls in Asia.
Mr.. Ozaki warned the Japanese not
to develop the German system of state
organization, which the present war
had proved to be mere machine for
destroying civilization and for tramp
ling under foot the rights of other
nations and peoples.
On the question of Japan's occupa-
ton of the German South Sea islands,
Mr.. Ozaki declared that the United
States should dismantle her forts in
the Philippines and Hawaii, and that
this would be more important for
Japan than the taking over of the
South Sea islands.
