NO ESCAPE

The draft dodger who hid behind
matrimony to escape war service is
not going to be able to break his
matrimonial ties easily now that he
no longer needs their protection.
The courts will deal severely with
all young people who attempt to es-
cape from the contracts they en-
tered into so lightly.
Probably many a young couple by
now are learning in repentance and
tears that any battle of the war was
mild beside the battle for existence
when complicated by ill-judged alli-
ances. They will have to learn, just
as all soldiers do, to discharge their
duty faithfully whether it be con.
genial or not.
Certainly little sympathy will be
felt by the public, and none should
be shown by the courts, for the
coward who hid behind a woman'S
skirts, or for the woman who per
mitted it.

EXPLOITING THE UNIFORM

No soldier needs to sell foolish lit
tie patriotic emblems from door to
door, presuming upon the fact that
he is in uniform to insure their pur-
chase.
No soldier needs to work in his
uniform as solicitor or agent, or in
any capacity where his uniform, and
not the value of his work or the pro-
duct he is selling, is the drawing
card, and few, if any, of our boys
want to do this.
Not only are such uses of the uni
form unnecessary. but they disgrace
the army and the whole people. Says
an officer of the Red Cross
"It is simply the exploitation of
the uniform for the profit of the
employer, and it belittles both the
soldier and the uniform. The situa-
tions of this kind coming to our at
tention have not been in the class of
occupation that would encourage
thrift on the part of the soldier or a
quick and easy return to substantial
civilian pursuits.
ANY discharged soldier unable to
obtain employment will be assisted
by the civilian relief department and
its cooperating agencies to obtain
worthwhile employment"
In some cases where the soldiers
pay is long overdue, and he IS con.
sequently unable to fit himself out
in appropriate civilian clothing, the
Red Cross has arranged that he may
have credit.
The wearing Of the uniform is {
dignified and serious business. The
khaki is not designed for an adver
tising medium, and use of it as sucl
opens the way for fakes and impos
lures without limit.

IN HONOR OF YANKS

One Of Portland's patriotic citi-
zens suggests that Mt. Hood be
changed to "Mt. Liberty" as a fit
ting monument to our brave boys
who chased the Huns back across the
Rhine, and adds that only the Al
mighty is able to erect fitting mon
ument to world freedom. In telling
how Mt Hood got its name the Port
lander says:
"a few years ago, we changed the
name of Mt. St. Elias to Mt. McKin.
ley, in honor of our great martyred
ex-president, who had fought ant
won great fight for principle
We also changed the name of Mt
Pitt, beautiful mountain near Med
ford, to Mt. Mclaughlin, in honor O.
father Mclaughlin who came to tn,
Oregon country, not to conquer AM
destroy, but to teach the Red mai
the Golden Rule. Mt. Jefferson i
named in honor of President Thoma
jefferson, who sent Lewis an,
Clarke across the continent as path
finders. You all know the stor
well.
but who is Mt. Hood named al
ter? Scarcely anyone in Orego
knows. The author of '"The Guard

HOW TO AVOID INFLUENZA
Doctor Says to Cut Out Fruits, Sweets
and All Fried Eoods.

To be immune from influenza cut
out fruits. greasy foods, sirups. confee-
tionery, honey and fried foods. This Ia
the advice OF DIR. Frederick de Lue Of
Boston, an expert.
Here are some Of Doctor de Lue's
influenza pointers:
Influenza bacillus locates most
readily In rheumatic people. Acids In
the system are the cause OF colds.
Chocolate that we give our soldier
boys makes acid, and acid serves as
food for the influenza bacllli. Boiled
rice is a better ration than chocolate.

Although the regular Open Forum
meetings came to an end last Sunday
evening at the Winthrop Street Uni
versalist church. the good they have
done in the community has been SO
generally recognized that the state
Y. NJ. c. 4. has asked the Augusta
Universalist associates to hold an
other meeting. This will be done at
the Universalist church on Sunday
evening. April 6. when one of the
most famous Y. NJ. c. A. workers in
the world will give an address.
He is c. A. Gummere Of New York
City, international secretary Of the
county work department. He is now
in Maine in connection with the state
wide Y. NJ. c. a. campaign. and It is
only by rare good luck that the people
of Augusta will be given the oppoT-
tunity to hear him.
OF all the Americans who have been
connected with Y. NJ. c. a. work in
the army. there is none who has won
greater distinction than Mr.. Gum
mere. There is none of the workers
who has had wider experience and
none who can tell so Interestingly Of
the things that he has seen Of the
real human side Of life in the army,
with its joys and tears.

BIG Gun OF ~" TO Be HEARD
AT EXTRA FORUM MEETING
At uN|VERSALIS1 CHURCH

In July. 1917, he entered the war
work Of the Y. NJ. c. a. as general
camp secretary for the FL Paso dis
trict in Texas, where 10000 regular
troops were modified. These were
the first American troops to go over
seas. Mr.. Gummere followed them IN
December Of the same year in a con-
voy of 10 ships. They were on the
ocean Christmas week, 1917, when %
ships of more than 5000 tons each
were sunk by German submarines.
This w;i.s more than in any other
week during the world war. The
anxiety that people then travelling the
ocean felt. the preca utsons taken
against submarine attack, the Won
derful manliness of the American
troops during such trying experiences
form one Of the most glorious chap
ters in the history of American arms.
The story that Mr.. Gummere will
tell at the Open Forum on Sunday
evening will be one that cannot fail to
thrill every person who hears him.
1t ia story the like of which has
been told by no other speaker. a
gripping, thrilling story that rivals
the best of fiction tales.
The doors of the church will be
open at 645, as usual.
