Delegates from the Salem lodge ap-
pointed by Harry j. Wenderoth, exalt-
cd ruler, to attend the state convention
of Elks at Portland the last week of Au.
gust, have decided to support klamath
Falls in its campaign to secure the
state convention for 1919. 1t is thought
that the principal objection to Klamath
Falls is the difficulty and expense of
getting there and that the for the sec
ond annual convention, it might be bet
ter to select some city not quite so far
from the regular line of travel.

ATTITUDE GERMAN
 OFFICERS CHANGED
CLAIMS GERMANY ENTEREnu WITH ENTHUSIASM, BUT ru,.S
 HAS DISAPPEARED s
HOPE OF VICTORY IS los,
They Are Aware That Acerican A,u Now Has Assumed Very Formis, bIe Proportions and seriousn.s.
 of This Factor Is Admitted

British Army Headdnarters |. France.-The demeanor of hupdraSs of German officers taken prisoner ,a gently is in striking contrast With ,h. attitude of officers captured drr;ns the British retreat last spring. Then German officer prisoners were arr, eant and meant to crush the British to earth, but now they are depressed and very anxious. They appear yerv willing to talk and the tenor of tbo;. conversation may be summed m ., follows:
 They say Germany entered the war with enthusiasm, but this has Inn, since disappeared and the strugyla has now become an economic ona with Great Britain.
 They admit that Germany is |, practically a hopeless condition. bo,b economically and from the manpower point of view and ask whether Ger. many sufficiently reduced to be m longer dangerous trade rival or whether the allies intend to crush her altogether. In the latter case. they say, Germany will be forced to fight to the last, but they make no e.ort to conceal their impression of what this means for the fatherland.
 They say they believe there is ey. cry disposition to evacuate Belgium and Northern France, and even negO tiate for the retention or evacuation of Alsace Lorraine.
 They are generally unanimous in agreeing that exactions thus far made and the Brest-Litoysk peace treaty were great mistakes, but think they cannot withdraw from Russia in tAs present condition of affairs there.
 They are aware that the American army now has assumed very formid able proportions and there is gen eral admission of the seriousness of this factor
 The submarine campaign they can not refer 10 without gestures of iTu patience.
 Captured noncommissioned officers attribute recent German defeats 10 the inefficiency of their air service and more especially to the inexpe'- ince and lack of stamina of the lat. est recruits, who are most inadequate ly drilled and trained and who are physically incapable of sustaining the heavy strain of defensive warfara. The mere presence of these new re' cruitg, they say, produces in a com. pany a demoralizing effect upon the older men, because it indicates 10 what straits Germany must be reduc ed 10 employ such poor material.

The Latest in Ghosts.

Ghosts there have always been since their part In disquieting the world since the world awoke to trouble. Vengeful, prophetic, fantastic. and in variably de trop, they have come down to us through the centuries, discred

DECLARES LAW SUIT WILL BE NECESSARY TO STATES
 SOUTHWEST BOUNDARY.
TExARkANA IS INVOLVED
Attorney General Arbuckle Receives Notification of Disputed Boundary From Attorney Holland of
 Washington.
Little Rock


 Walter Holland, an attorney, of Washington notified Attorney-General Arbuckle that unless Arkansas brings suit 10 determine it's southwest boun- dary the state will likely lose Miller County to Texas. This is the county Tn which Fexarkana is situated.
 Mir Holland stated that he had just had a conference with Senator w. r. Mrby and that the status of the boundary question was as follows:
 Arkansas is bounded on the south side by the Red River by parallel 100 west longitude, Greenwich, and by the 3Sd parallel north latitude to the northwest corner of Louisiana This line was agreed upon by the boundary commission at the time of the anneXa- ton of Texas and since has been &C., cepted as the true line.
 Mir. Hollands conclusion is that Arkansas will have to claim the terri tory included within the parallels or eventually lose Miller County, as the true line goes either east or west from the 33d degree of latitude and can not stand, as now considered, 10 be due north from that parallel.

Will congress be considered an es- sential industry? That question will be very interesting to 13 senators and 110 representatives who are not yet fOrty-fve years of age When the first draft bill was under consideration number of members of congress, led by Speaker Champ Clark, tried to have the age limit extended to sixty years, and all the way down to the figure fin ally agreed upon. At that time quite a number of men vociferously an- nounced that they were willing to take their chances in the draft. It will be interesting to notice whether the boards will decide that senators and representatives are engaged in an es- Sential industry. But then it is more than likely that most of them will es- cape by being put in what is known as the deferred classification list.

While there Is reluctance on the part of quite number of mem bers of both senate and house to necept the new suggestions of the WAT department extending the draft ages, there is no doubt that the legls- lation will be passed. In fact, the age limit would have been reduced to nine teen or twenty when the army bill passed the senate if it had not met with opposition from the war depart ment. Provost Marshal General Crow der then as now favored the reduction to eighteen years but did not receive the support of his Superiors. Discus sion in the senate showed that a great many men favored lowering the age limit, while others preferred that old CT men be taken and that the young men remain exempt.

THEREFORE THE ARBITRATION OF LABOR DISPUTES IS PRAc-
 TlcALLY ENFORCED NOW.
COMPULSlON REALLY MORAL
Senate Must Soon Pass on an Out-and- Out Prohibition Proposition-Nelson Thinks Soldiers Shouldn't Be Cod dled Too Much.
By ARTHUR w. DUNN.

Washington.-Arbi of labor disputes is practically enforced now; not quite compulsory arbitration, to which labor has made considerable ob- jection, but it practically amounts to that. Nearly all of the labor Of the present day is tied up with the war in one way or another. There can be no strike of any proportions which does not affect the war work Delng carried on by the government. Con sequently 1t has become necessary Tor the government to take up and settle labor disputes.
 After these labor disputes are arbi- trated by the commission which was named by the president, there is no ie- gal power to compel men to accept the decisions. Employers must ac- cept them. because most of the en- ployers are engaged in doing work nec- essary to carry on the war. But there Is a great moral "compulsion" which is sufficient to make the labor men accept just and equitable conclusions of the authorities Public opinion In this country would not justify strike which would interfere with the mak- ing of materials necessary 10 carry on the war.

100000 of the 100000 soldiers in below the age of twenty-one. Such an c'd Civil war soldier as Senator Nell son of Minnesota is very insistent that the boys from eighteen to twenty be given an opportunity to get into the war. He and others who believe with him will strenuously oppose a provision which will be offered to the new draft law providing that the boys from eighteen to nineteen must not be sent abroad until after they have had a years training. Instead of taking year to make a soldier, it has been demonstrated that the alert young men of America make good soldiers in six months. Army officers with experience believe that far better results will be obtained with the men below twenty one than with those over thirty-one.

Nothing is quite so persistent as the German propaganda. If the Germans had given as much attention to legtu- mate industrial and agricultural pur- suits as they have to war and propa- ganda they could have made greater progress in the conquest of the world than they have by war and the auXIl- iary methods they have used to pro- mote that war In this country all manner and kinds of propaganda are constantly cropping out. There is no business, industry or vocation in which the Huns have not made some attempt to cripple the government by their in' sidious propaganda. For instance, there has recently been circulated story that there is scarcity of glass jars for canning foods, which when traced to it's origin proved to be Ger man propaganda for the purpose of hindering the preservation of foods.
 It must be that the Germans, their sympathizers, the pacifists, and every other faction of that ilk, have raised and maintained an enormous fund to carry on all sorts of propaganda which could in any way tend to hinder the United States in the prosecution of the war.

Within a few weeks now the sem ate of the United States will be up against prohibition proposition. pure and simple. The amendment which has been held in order by vote of the senate and will be attached to the az ricultural survey bill, is destined to make the nation bone-dry the last Of next January. unless ~omething hap pens. First, the blll can be talked to death, as there is no agreement to vote on it: second. 1t might be vetoed by the president on the ground that prohibition at this time would serious ly interfere with the revenues of the government. The men who are re- sponsible for legislating to raise rev. enue are very much disturbed over the losses which will be entailed when prohibition becomes effective. Look ing ahead as far as 1920, when the pro- hihition constitutional amendment is likely to go into effect, these revenue raisers say that the continuance of the war beyond that time will make it extremely difficult for them to find methods of taxation to raise enough money to carry on the government. In view of this state of affairs. the sena- tors who are now In Washington have been looking forward to the coming prohibition contest with great deal of interest.
