A PAVED HIGHWAY

Grants Pass Is not alone In need
ing a modern road to the coast but.
It is, or at least 1t ought to be, one
OF the interested factors. The gen.
eral government needs the clrome
and other materials found along
such road and II approached in the
right manner would aid in its con-
struction. The state has interests
In this matter and would lend a
hand. Josephine county cannot build
1t, but, II she can get enough help
1t can be built 1t would lead to a
practical development of the Oregon
caves and an inflow of valuable tour
list travel, with all the money 1t
leaves in its wake.
This is not a small matter, but,
an enterprise OF magnitude and will
require considerable time to get even
faily launched. 1t involves vast
outlay of money and consequently Is
worthy of very careful consideration.
That does not necessarily mean that
all the time there is should be spent
in thinking about it. Action is me-
cessary and time is valuable. II
some sort OF action is not taken
very soon it will be too late to
achieve results this year.
II complete success is desired, 1t
will be necessary to put the most
important points up to the general
government. We do not know what
we have. Let us ask the govern
ment to find out. It is willing to do
30, but, it is up to US to start some
thing. A survey is necessary and It
must be done under the direction OF
government officials.
The mountains OF this region are
full of minerals that this government
must have in its business Of war,
..
and regardless OF mud and slush il
is getting them to commercial cen
ters at enormous cost. 1t will be
deeply interested in the construction
of a paved road, but, bear this fact
in mind: 1t takes long time to
get federal machinery in operation
and when it does get started 1t takes
much longer time to get results,
There is no time to lose. Action fs
what counts.

jurer. He is worse than that. or,
rather more than that--he is a thief.
He steals the rights OF his fellow
citizens. He steals their inalienable
right to nominate the men whom
they wish to represent them on their
party ballot in the fall election.
He wilfully and mallciously steals
the franchise of a large body OF citi-
zens. He literally deprives them OF
their right to vote, their very citizen
ship.
In thus stealing other mems votes,
this pimp OF the ballot, steals the
possibility OF men to hold office, de-
lpriying the country of their services
and them of the salaries that go
with 1t. thus bringing the crime
down to a plain taking of money.
Under a convention system, a
socialist or independent or any
other freak of nature who had the
temerity to inject himself into the
proceedings OF democratic or re-
publican convention, would be sum
marily thrown into the street where
he belonged. 1t would be impossible
for him to prostitute himself or rob
his neighbors. In the primary there
is no committee on credentials.
The scurvy knave who knows not
honor covers his infamy in the snug
security OF his secret ballot where II
cannot be seen. relying on this like
his better compatriot, the burglar,
upon the blackness Of the night to
conceal his crime.
The man who would thus debauch
the purity of the ballot on which the
security of the nation depends, has
the instincts of deprayed criminal.
His moral delinquency would know
no limits were he sure OF not being
found out. 1t is crime which the
law should seek to prevent by throw
ing around the right to register and
to vote greater restrictions and is a
crime one OF the punishments for
which should be disfranchisement.
Those advising the pursuit OF so
yenal, corrupt and inexcusable a
course, whether newspaper or indi-
vidual, should be punished with the
same severity meted out to other
criminals who seek to subyert JUS
tice by suborning perjury. In no
other way can an honest election be
assured-Coryallis Gazette-Times.

COUNTY AGENTS
NOTES

We are home again after being In
attendance at Farmers week and
the county agents conference q,
Corvallis.
The one thing that stood out above
all others at these meetings was the
necessity and Importance OF organi-
Eation.
In every conference, no matter OF
what nature. the fact was brought
out that In order 10 win the war II
was imperative the United States do
Il. and that for the most part II was
to be done by production and con-
servation OF foodstuffs.
II was also brought out that this
can be done only by organization
and cooperation.
The enrolment for Farmers week
was 1.i37. Farmers. their wives.
sons and daughters from every quar-
ter OF the states were In attendance.
In his final message to the farm
ers, President Kerr. urged them to
go home and tell their neighbors
that the agricultural college stood In
readiness to help them in every way
possible.

HAS DONE Efficient WORK
Had an Important Part In Building Up
Armed Guards Organization
Now Keeps Records Of
This Service.

Washington.-The encounters Of
American merchant vessels with Ger
man submarines constitute one of the
most thrilling chapters of the war.
When the president ordered our mer-
chahtmen armed for protection against
undersea attack the navy was called
upon to furnish hundreds of guns and
thousands of trained gunners to man
them. To perform this task a new
branch Of the service was organized
the ''armed guards" Even before this
country declared war they were on ac-
tive duty, and the first man Of the
navy to lose his life In service against
the enemy was member of the armed
guards, John I. Eopolucci, lost In the
sinking Of the Aztec April /, 1917.
One of the most efficient aids of
Commander Farley In building up the
armed guards organization was a
young woman, Miss Helen e. Brooks,
now confidential secretary to Lieuten-
ant Commander Hall, who succeeded
Commander Farley.
Shares In Big Events.
Miss Brooks has had a share In
many of the most interesting incidents
of the war. 1t was to her desk that
the news came of the sinking of the
Aztec and the Vacuum. She received
the account of the sinking of the first
German submarine by the Silver
Shell; Of the long battle Of the Moreni
which fought an enemy U-boat until
almost the entire ship was In flames;
Of the four-hour fight Of the J. L..
Luckenbach which, though hit many
times, refused to surrender. She made
out the lists Of the first men taken
prisoner by Germany, members OF the
armed guard of the Inflated Campana.
She has transcribed many letters Of
commendation of men for heroic
deeds, and many messages transmit
ting to relatives the sad news that a
son, husband or brother has been
killed or wounded.
The names, ratings and addresses of
next of kin of all the members Of the
armed guards are kept on cards, In a
separate envelope for each vessel.
The records Of all those who lose
their lives in the service of their coun-
try are kept in special division.
These constitute the navy's roll Of
honor" Those who have been COM

AID FROM RED CROSS
American Prisoners In Germany
Being Cared For.
Food Sent Regularly Through Inter-
national Red Cross in
Switzerland.

Washington.-FOod is now being
sent regularly to American prisoners
in Germany by the American Red
Cross through an arrangement with
the international Red Cross In
Switzerland.
The American Red Cross office at
Paris recently received a complete list
of the 159 Americans then prisoners in
Germany. The German government
permits the Red Cross to send each
man 20 pounds of food week, in
two packages of ten pounds each.
This Red Cross service is being en-
larged and a warehouse to hold food
enough for 10000 American prisoners
already is under construction near
Berne, Switzerland. 1t is estimated
that at least 30 per cent OF the food
packages reach the men.
Parents, wives and relatives OF our
soldiers and sailors will find in this
particular Red Cross service the great
est satisfaction because they have
dreaded German prison life for their
loved ones perhaps more than death
itself. ... .....-.. ~. :.
The American prisoners will be per-
mitted to write two letters and four
post cards each month, and also to
acknowledge the receipt of food pack
ages. The Red Cross food package
follows the army ration pretty closely,
and frequently fresh white bread Is
included from the Red Cross bakery
in Berne.
This service is one more reason why
the American people will respond gen.
erously to the next Red Cross war
fund campaign, May 20-27, when an
other $1OO,OOOOOO to "carry on" will
be asked. ...

British Admiralty Gives Out De-
tails of Achievements of
Seaplanes. ..
BOMBS DO GOOD WORK
Undersea Craft Unable to Dive Before
Missiles Are Dropped-One De-
stroyed in Act of Attack
on Merchantmen.

London.-Details concerning the de-
struction recently of ten German sub
marines by naval aircraft, eight by
seaplanes and the others by dirigibles,
have been obtained by the Associated
Press from admiralty reports, The
first case is described as follows:
"While on patrol in the English
channel seaplane sighted a subma-
rine eight miles away, directly in the
path of an toncOming convoy of mer-
chant ships. The seaplane dived at
90 miles an hour. The submarine at
tempted to escape by submerging, but
was just awash as the seaplane
reached bombing position and re-
leased two bombs, one Of which ex-
ploded on the coming tower. The
seaplane dropped two more bombs
into the midst Of the bubbles from the
collapsed submarine, which was OF
the largest type, carrying two guns"
The second case: "At dawn a sea-
plane sighted large submarine on
tie surface, with member Of the
crew standing by the gun. The sea-
plane dropped bomb on the tail Of
the U-boat and afterward photo
graphed the sinking submarine, with
a big hole in it's deck. A second bomb
was dropped close>to the submarines
bow, and the U-boat collapsed"
Catches U-Boat on Surface.
The third case: 1.-TWO seaplanes at
tackled large submarine travelling on
the surface at IA knots, with two men
in the coming tower. A bomb was
exploded close to the coming tower,
and the submarine began to sink stern
first. A bomb from second seaplane
completed the work."
The fourth case: "Three. patrol
planes sighted large submarine as
II was submerging. and dropped two
bombs close to the coming tower,
causing the submarine to turn turtle
aud disappear In mass of oil and
wreckage."
The fifth case: "a seaplane sight
ed two submarines close to the sur
face and dropped two bombs. One
boiEb was ineffective, but the other hit
the deck fairly amidships. The sub
masine was hidden by the smoke of
the explosion. and when the smoke
cIeassd the U-boat was sinking, with
both ends in the air."

the track of a torpedo hred at mer-
chantran. 1t dived toward the sur
face and sighted the black shade of

eggs and butter and milk and other
unknown luxuries to bring man back

the calendar, coupon on the egg caro-
would be validated to entitle the hold
er to purchase one egg from the grocer
with whom his name had been regis
tered. Often the groceries did not nave
eggs enough to fill even this scanty or.
der. But we sent out an appeal to
every available American to help. We
mobilized every egg In the American
colony in Berlin. We gathered all the
butter we could find. We asked no
questions when there seemed some
doubt as to the strictness with which
the zone egg every three weeks" regu-
lation had been obeyed. But this pa
tient had three delicious omelettes a
day for three weeks. No one else IN
all the Central powers, not the kaiser
nor Hindenburg, had reveled in any
such luxury Of eggs in three years or
war. But it saved his life. 1t was
the mobilization of the eggs, not the
physicians, that did it."
