THE HUN TREACHERY

Nothing is too sneaking, too big, or
too httle for the treachery Of Prusslan
autocracy. Their tricks on any battle
field can never be eclipsed by the dia
bolicai schemer. While they have no
peer as butchers, they hold the record
for resorts to petty tricks. That Ger
man soldiers who lived in the United
States before the war, thus being able
to speak the American language flu
emily, are being sent to the front clad
in American uniforms, il the startling
information conveyed to John Lafour,
of Buffalo, by his brother, James Dom
ohue. private in the L. S. Marine
corps and the first American prisoner
to escape from a German prison camp
and successfully make his way back to
the American lines.
81 saw a number Of German soldiers
in American uniforms, wrote Dono-
hue. "and all of them could speak
English tluently. One of them asked
me where | was from and when told
hun Buffalo, he laughed and said he
had been a waiter in restaurant there
at one time
Donohue was captured when knocked
senses by boche rifle butt and after
being made to work night and day dig
ing graves for dead Germans and being
spit upon while at work by German
officers. he made his escape by hitting
his guard over the head with an axe
He made his way back to the American
lines, living on some bread and water

And the eifrontery and magnitude Of
some of their efforts to spread invidious
propaganda startle us. BY underhand-
ed methods the kaiser had become pub
Usher of an American newspaper, the
Evening Mail, Of New York city.
But our soldiers and those of the al
lies are on their tricks in battlefield,
and our secret service is robbing their
efforts at propaganda Of effectiveness,
and the kaiser's aims and ambition
stand revealed to the world, AN amhi-
tion that is repulsive to people who
fear God and love right and justice.

THE CHAuTAUQuA

Recently We have heard the annual
moan that accompanies the canvass for
chautauqua ticket sales. Guarantors
Of former years have commiserated
with those Of this season. This thing
has been happening now for some
years. Lets pat an end to It for all
time
We are not going 70 say word
against chautauquas. The programs
that have been made available by the
company supplying the circuit on
which Hood River is located have been
such as to arouse CONNIE ndation. The
lectures have been entertaining anu
educational, but all of Us have heea
getting very tired Of that eternal de
mand Of a guaranty.
We will welcome IA chaut8uqua IL
Hood River next year, but if 1t comes,
let it come prepared to inaugurate and
conduct a canvass for the sale of tick
cts by It's own paid representatives..
As busy as Hood River professional
men and merchants are, some 40 of
them recently have devoted many hours
to selling tickets for the chautauqua
OF course. chautauquas and circuses
are of very different nature, and yet
they should not be conducted on such
dissimllar plans. If the Ellison-W
Company wishes to visit Hood River
next year let them cone as circus
would come. They certainly have had
an oppoturmty to learn Hood River in
the past several years. If they do not
want to come on this basis, { them
stay away.
At any rate, we believe that an APP
peal for the usual guarantee is going
to be exceedingly unpopular this year
Judging from what we have heard, a

timated that the 1917 production would

must be remembered, too that France
has always figured her needs on a
different basis than ours The French
people have never wasted food. conse-
qucutly Frances normal consumption
has been practically identical with her
actual necessities. The ration Of the
French soldiers has twice been cut,
and the soldiers ration is never low
cred until the danger at home from
food shortage is critical Certain re
ports have been brought to this Coun-
thy that there is plenty Of meat in
France These reports originated in
the fact that at one time it was neces
sary, because Of the lack of feeds, to
slaughter large quantities of her dairy
cattle The immediate result was a
temporary glut OF meat, but the final
result is that today France is on a
meat ration Of one pound week. in
cluding horse flesh.
