claims the German Mauser does moi

for the United States service.
The superiority claimed for the
American weapon is supported on
three counts: Quicker firing as re-

SALvE FOR THEIR WOUNDS.

Chancellor Won Herting addressing the reichstag as
to Germanys aims, yesterday, gave tongue to great
deal of stuff that produced for home consumption
alone 1t was given in such terms conquerOr might
make to foe utterly vanqushed He asserted that Bel
gum would be given up that France must for ever
relinqush all hope of reganing Asace-Lorrane that
treaties between Germany on one side and Russia and
Rumana the other must be recognized and that the
allies should pay Germany indemnity. Coming as 1t did
on the heels of the most disastrous defeat the Germans
have met the war; and in the face of the rapid strength
enng of the allied forces it required considerable nerve
even to give voice to such statement. The chaotic con-
ditiOn arising in Austria Hungary the rapidly increas
ing troubles with the Savs the collapse of the Austrian
offensive in Italy, all show the bold claims were made for
no other purpose than to bolster up the fast despondng
German civilians. The course of the German press in
connection with the retreat from the Mae is another
evidence of the dire need the mtarStS In OF some
thing to give the people at home encouragement
The news of the defeat has been kept much possible
from the people, and is claimed the defeat is vie
tory 1t is victory that has cost them 700 big guns,
thousands of machine guns millions of munitions and a
quarter of million of the German armys best troops It'll

and daily it is decreasing their man power 1t is VIC
tory that leaves the enemy in possession OF the battle field
and the German troops deprived of the idea that they are
invncble 1t has taken much of the punch from the
German army and it has still further disheartened Ger
manys strongest ally, Austria Bulgaria and Turkey are
practically out of the fighting and everything points to
it being from this on war that must be fought by Ger
many with but little aid from any Of her allies The Ger
mans are not whipped yet but the fight has gone so many
rounds that it is only question OF how many more she
can stay in the ring The new draft in America making
an army Of five million easily available is another matter
that will set the war lords thinking, and keep them busy
invenng shallow lies to deude their blind followers into
still further relying on them. The lie told the German
soldiers that Americans took no prisoners simply to
induce the men to fight the last gasp and to make them
believe that surrender meant DEATH The military lead
ers will have many things to to the German people
for when the end comes and the will be far from
satisfactory.

ShipbuiIding Industry
Largest In Oregon

Oregon's shipbuilding industry is now
paying approximately $4,000, 600 year
in payrolls. Taking into consideration
al the shipyards in the state, the aver
age wage for all employees is more than
$5 a day.
These facts are shown by figures be.
ing compiled by Professor j, o. Hail
for Labor Commissioner o. P. Hoff.
Men employed in all the shipyards in
the state during the first six months of
this year worked a total of 1896, ,727
work days. For the same period of time,
the payrolls of the shipyards amounted
to $12,31s,216.
When compared with the records for
the entirs year ending June 80 1916,
the above figures assume big proper
tions. For the entire year at that time
the workdays for all the shipyards to-
tailed 5S,792, which the payrolls amount
ed to $l7S,l76, which was an average of
1924 a day.
