With the American Army In
France, Jan. 16.-Enemy air raiders
are showing an increased interest in
the American aviation centers, es-
pecially those nearest the lines.
During one Of the most recent in
cursions, the German airplanes de-
scended within 200 feet of the
ground, endeavoring to make sure
that the several bombs which they
dropped should hit their targets,
which, in most cases were buildings
in which men were billetted. Luck

close range. was poor, for no Am
orleans were killed.

At a certain place nearby, an en-
envy squadron descended within 300
feet Of the earth and sprayed an
anti-aircraft machine gun position
with a hail of bullets, but did not hit
any Of the gunners, all Of whom were

The Americans at the most advanc-
ed aviation camp have found novel
mounting for the machine guns used
for defense against enemy airplanes.
When the guns for the newly dug pits
arrived, it was discovered that only
field carriages had been provided.
These were unsuitable for aircraft

or the various com binations look
ing at once toward monopoly, exploit
taation, nationalism, and war, the
most noted, as well as the most pow
erful is the "Alldeutschtum Vervand, -
or Pan -Germanist Union. This was
founded In Berlin in April 8, 1891.
The immediate occasion was the ex-
change at the instance of the young
kaiser of the isand of Zanzibar for
the island of Heligoland. Zanzibar
was the key to vast colonial empire,
while Heligoland was useful potenti-
ally as a naval shelter. This transac-
tion appeared to many to sacrifice
great colonial interests to a secon-
diary matter of coast defense.
The Pan German Union was oppos-
ed to all policies of concilation of
whatever kind. This placed it in OPP
position to acts of the ministry in
power, for no government can exist
without a certain degree of concilia-
tion and compromise. Its center was
with the agrarian nobility. With
these were associated the great iron
manufacturers, exploiters of Asia and
Africa, the military generally and a
large group of "intelleceutls," profess

10000 persons; 1900 in foreign lands.
Its primary function was the exalta-

control of all education in the inter-
est of world politics, the support Of
all nationalistic movements at home
and abroad, and especially the sup
port of German financial interests and
the determination of foreign policy

Methods by which farmers may in

higher yield and decrease dockage, arc
explained in new College bulletin
written by Prof. II. p. Barss, of o. A.
9. BY following the steps outlined
the serious losses annually resulting in
Oregon from the slipshod methods of
seed treatment will be eliminated.
Grain growers are warned against
using the directions printed on the la

piled by druggists. These directions
are for the most part out of date or
not adapted to Oregon conditions.
New treatment directions are being
prepared at o. A. C. for the use of
druggists, in an effort to remedy this
situation. In addition to this, every
farmer can get his own set of directi-
ons free by writing to the Oregon
