Portland will spread dragnet to
round up every iiler in the city to
relieve the shortage of labor in the
shipyards. And when the net is
drawn. it will force every idler either
to work. go to Jail or into the United
States army. The la or shortage in
the Portland shipyards is acute at this
time and is the cause for the deter
mnation of Mayor Baker to force
every man to work. Apparently the
mayor has struck at the kernel Of the
situation by proposing that man work
ing in the ship yards at high wages
one or two days, then idling for four
or five days. be sent before their draft
boards, if they be of draft age or be
taken before the municipal court for
prosecution under the idlers ordinance,
If they be ABOVE Graft age. A man
employed in war industries at high
wage is giving infinitely less to his
country than is the man in the trench
es Of France, and when he slacks,
should be considered the most despic-
able Stacker of all.

TREASURES LOST TO HISTORY
Fanaticism Of Spaniards on IsIa do
MuJeres Is Regretted by
ArcheoIoeists. as

Fortified by grim rocks from the
wind-driven waves of the Yucatan
channel lies the Isla de Mujeres-Isle
Of Women. The Spaniards on a voy-
age in search Of gold in the sixteenth
century were tossed up on this island,
where they found no gold, but had
an interesting time. When they start
ed on an exploring tour of the island
they came upon n stone temple. Lured
by the fumes of incense, they entered
and saw many idols representing god
desses, clothed in cotton garments.
Officiating Mt the ceremonies were
women dressed in bright cottons and
decked out with feathers and orna-
ments of precious metals.
The Spaniards, excited by this scene
of idol worship, rushed in, smashed
the idols, trlumphantly placed an i'm
age Of the virgin on the altar and
held mass before the eyes of the as
tonished prlestesses and native wor-
Slippers. Archeologists have never
ceased to regret the fervor of the
Spanlards, who thus unheedingly de
stroyed unique treasures of Mayan
civilization.
The Spaniards named the place Isll
de Mujeres for future reference and
sailed away. The frightened Mayans
deserted their shrine. For years the
1sla de Mujeres lay still and forsaken
Gradually it awakened. A fishing vii
lage grew up near the ancient altars
and the Yucatans hunt the hawk
billed turtle where once Indian maid
ems swung the censers and chantet
their prayers.

ATHENA. OREGON, SEPT. 20. 1918

Americas entrance in the world war
was purely for the purpose of ending
war, and to treat for peace with brig
ands and outlaws who have ruthlessly
murdered and outraged tens of thou
sands of Serbian and Italian women.
murdered children and ruthlessly laid
waste an Independent nation, would be
to set the seal of approval on Ger
many's perfdious treatment of Bel
GUM. The Hapsburg monarchy, rul-
ers of Austria Hungary are but puppet
satellites of German autocracv, and
this peace propaganda, long ago spot
ted by the entente governments. is in
spired by Hun militarists IN the hope
of causing dissension among the allied
nations. The hope that the Pope 8
influence for peace may be brought to
bear fruitfully on the Italian people,
placated with minor territorial con-
cessions on the part of Austria, may
cause Italy to accept separate peace,
is perhaps the real subtle purpose of
the Austrian peace move at this time.
With Italy out OF it, thousands of Aus
trian soldiers could be fed to the west
ern trenches and relieve for time the
precarious situation in which the Hun
armies now find themselves. The re-
ply of this nation, to man. rests in
the word of its President:
Force, force to the utmost, force
without stint or limit, the righteous
and triumphant force which shall make
right the law of the world and cast
every selfish dominion down in the
dust"
