ERECT A FITTING MEMORIAL.

The war is over, our boys did
their duty over there and we
have done our duty here.
ON boys offered themselves
as a sacrifice that we might live
to enjoy peace and happiness for
ever, Theirs was the greater
and nobler work.
We feel that we still owe the
boys who joined the ranks Of
Uncle Sam from this county
something more than mere words
Of appreciation and aiding them
in the cause with our money.
We feel that some lasting tribute
should be paid our county boys
both dead and alive that may
stand forever and last as long as
memory lasts. In this feeling
we are not alone for hundreds OF
others have expressed the same
sentiments and we, which in
cludes every individual who has
any gratitude in his or her heart
and a deep sense Of appreciation
and just pride in the great, noble
and courageous sacrifice made BY
our home boys.
A memorial committee has all
ready been named and we sin.
cerely trust that the people Of
this county will contribute gen
erously and freely that not only
some kind Of memorial may be
erected as a tribute to the work
and sacrifice of orr county boys
but that such a memorial may be
erected that win be a proper
sense of our appreciation of their
sacrifice and a credit to our
county.
We don't know whether the
Memorial Committee has dis
cussed the form or shape Of the
memorial or not, but rather pre-
sumo it is open to all sugges-
tons with view Of accepting
the best and most appropriate.
We have talked with number
Of people Of the county about the
proposed memorial in an effort tc
ascertain what in their judgment
would be a most fitting memorial
and most creditable to our coun.
ty.
a number of opinions have
been expressed making sugges-
tions along that line and the most
appropriate suggestion so far tc
our minds, is the erection Of a
new and attractive fence around
the Court House and then the
erection Of a massive arch lead
ing to the Court House where is
now a gate, with tablets in eacf
side Of the supports to this arch
This We believe of all sugges
tons so far made to be the besf
which we submit it to the Com
mittee
No memorial, however, of any
kind can be erected until th'
Committee has funds in hand fol
this purpose.
In the meantime our column,
are open to all suggestions from
the people Of the county which
we feel sure will be received anC
given the most careful considera
ton Of the Memorial Committee

HARDSH|PS FOR
MANY F0RESEEN
BY LABOR CHIEF
Gompers Would Not DemobiI.
ize Army so Speedily as to
Put Soldiers into Com
petition for Jobs.

Washington, Jan. 3.-With Samuel
Gompers, president Of the American
Federation of Labor, as the first
witness, hearings were begun today
under the resolution introduced by
Senator Kenyon of Iowa, providing
for an investigation by the senate ed
ucation and labor committee for the
purpose of recommending legislation
intended to bring about better So
cial and industrial conditions. .
Mr.. Gompers said that any at
tempt by law to prevent labor
strikes would be futile. He con-
demned legislation for compulsory
arbitration and asserted that labor
had prevented any considerable leg
islation by the states looking toward
this end.
The e/sudden transition from a war
to peace basis in industry may re-
suit, he said, in hardships TO work.
ing people this winter, adding that
many workers already had been
thrown out of employment. He be-
lieved that the army should not be
demobilized so speedily as to put
soldiers into competition for the
jobs held by men and women in the
industries while they were in the
military service. Labor will not
take kindly to a bread line" this
winter after enduring hardships and
sacrifices of war, Mr.. Gompers said,
when congress could help solve the
problem. o.
As a substitute for compulsory ar
bitration he proposed a system of
Cancellation and mediation.
Mr.. Gompers approved the plan
included in Sepator Kenyon's reso-
luton for extending the provisions
Of the soldiers and sailors insur-
ance to the civil population and ad-
vocated system of insurance
against sickness, disability and old
age. He did not approve the pro-
vision for establishing a national
tribunal to review and adjust diff
culties between workmen and en-
'ployers, saying that was akin to
compulsory arbitration. Mr.. Com
pers will continue his testimony to-
morrow.

Admiral Rodman
Believes Hun Capital
Ships Should Be Sunk

Washington, Jan. 3-Destruction
of all capital ships OF the German
navy surrendered to the allies was
recommended to the house naval af-
fairs committee today by Rear Ad-
miral Rodman, who commanded the
American feet in the North Sea
during the war.
He said the German ships would
not be needed, that they were of
different types than those of the
allies, and that it would be a waste
of money to pay to maintain them.
The admiral thought all the ves-
sells except the capital ships should
be kept.
Asked how officers and enlisted
men of the American navy COM
pared with those of the British
navy, Admiral Rodman said that in
many respects American personnel
as we'll as our ships had shown
points OF superiority.

2O41 SOLDIERS
REMOVED FROM
STRANDED SHIP
Transfer Of Remaining 200
Wounded Veterans Will Be
CompIeted Today II the
Weather Is Favorable.

Fire Island, N. Y, Jan. 3.--Except
for 200 wounded men, every one a
veteran of European battlefelds and
more than half of them helpless on
their cots, all the $500 soldiers who
were passengers on the stranded
army transport, Northern Pacific,
were safe ashore or aboard naval
vessels tonight at the close of the
second day Of one of the most re-
markable marine ,rescues in the his
tory of the Atlantic coast. ~.
When darkness began to fall. en-
forcing suspension of trans-shipment
operations, craft OF the navy and
coast guard had taken off the liner
2,04l troops, in addition to 2So SOL
diers and Red Cross nurses carried
ashore yesterday in surf boats and
the breeches buoy. ~s..
Sailors Serve as Life Savers.
The operation was completed
without an accident, except for the
capsizing of a life boat, and without
the loss off, single life. The Long
Island coast guard won the honors
in yesterdays rescue work and per-
formed valiant service in assisting
the navy today. But it was the
sailor men, skilfully maneuvering in
a .choppy surf, who carried their
khaki-clad brothers to safety today.
From early morning until dusk
the rescue craft piled between the
stranded troop ship and the flotilla
of cruisers, destroyers and tugs an
chored just outside the treacherous
sand bars that brought the Northern
Pacific to grief within a mile of
Fire Island light.
Light-draft submarine chasers
nosed against the liner and took
off $50 men at time. The launches
carried 10 to 80 at trip and the
whale boat and life savers surf
boats lesser number, according to
their size.
Wounded Lowered In Baskets.
Sixteen ladders were dropped over
the transports bow. and down these
able-bodied soldiers scrambled. The
wounded were lowered over the side
in baskets, or in a few cases where.
shattered limbs had not knitted were
carried down gsngways to launches.
Hour after hour the trans-ship-
ment went on with cold wind driv-
ing and spume drenching all hands.
The wounded were hoisted aboard
the hospital ship Solace without the
injury of a man, naval officers said.
and the we'll soldiers climbed the
sides of destroyers, six Of which
steamed toward New York before
nightfall.
If the present weather continues
a north wind was blowing off shore
and the surf was moderate as night
set in-the transfer of the remaining
200 men will be completed before
noon tomorrow, naval officers said.
The Northern Pacific, standing al
most upright in the sands 200 yards
off shore, was in no danger tonight,
according to Capt. ]. D. Meade,
coast guard officer.

PERSH|NC MADE
SPEECHES FOR
c. A. R. LEADER
Captain Adams Tells Of Part
the General Took in
Campaign at Close of
Spanish War.

A discussion in the Chicago Trib-
une of General Pershing's politics
in its bearing on him as possible
presidential candidate, has ELECTED
from Capt C.. E. Adams, national
commander of the G. A. R., his
testimony going to establish PERISH
ing as a republican. Captain Adams
last night sent the following dis
patch to the Tribune:
"Notice your Washington dis
patch in today's Tribune regarding
General Pershing's politics. In 1898
l ran for congress in the Fifth Ne
braska district against Sutherland
and was defeated. General PERISH
ing, just returned from the Philip
pires, made several speeches in my
behalf and for the republican ticket
in my district, at Red Cloud, Nelson
and other places. | have kept up
my acquaintance with the general
ever since and he is republican
and I have known him as such since
1895"
The article to which Captain
Adams refers calls attention to the
fact that General Pershing married
the daughter of Senator Warren OF
Wyoming, one of the wheelhorses
of the republican party, and secured
his principal army promotion at the
hands of President Roosevelt. Or
the other hand, the democrats de-
clare. that General Pershing was
born in the democratic atmosphere
of Linn county, and that his family
connections are democratic. Per-
shing, himself, has been quoted as
saying Il am not politician, | am
a soldier. My whole duty is to be
loyal to my government and to the
administration which directs it."
Congressman Rucker, the Mis-
souri, democrat who represents the
district including Linn county, is
said to be making further inquiries,
but to express himself as ."afraid
General Pershing is a republican,"

BRITISH Want
TO KNOW POLICY
TOWARD RUSSIA
Press Asks Clear Statement
Regarding UItimatum Said
to Have Been Pre-
sented to Germany.

4ondon, Jan. 3.-Reports from
German and Scandinavian sources
of British naval and military activi-
ties in the Baltic provinces have
created a demand by the British
press for clear statement Of tn.
governments policy regarding Rus
sia.
According to the Deutsche Tages
Zeitung Of Berlin, the British have
presented an ultimatum to the Ger
man command that. the German
troops must not only prevent a
further advance by the bolsheviki,
but must retake Walk and Vlendin.
If this order is not carried out, the
German newspaper says, the 'entente
will march into Germany.
There is no confirmation of these
reports from any official source.
Germans Refuse to Fight.
Copenhagen, Jan. 3.-The German
troops which recently were forced
to evacuate the Russian Baltic port
of Riga hav retreated few miles
from that city, according to Berlin
advices today. They are occupying
the heights in the region.
A. Riga dispatch to the lVossiche
Zeitung of Berlin gives very pes
simistic account of the situation in
the Baltic provinces. The bolsheviki,
it is said, are we'll equipped with
guns, ammunition and food, while
the forces opposing them are vir-
tually without the very necessities
Of life. The German soldiers, the
dispatch continues, refuse to fight
and even those defending the rail-
ways are desert:ng their posts, max
ing an orderly retreat of the Ger
man troops impossible.
The correspondent says the Ii
humans appear more interested in
creating number of small insignifi.
cant posts than in organizing a real
defense against the invaders.
1t is reported in Berlin that 10000
German volunteers, we'll supplied
with war materials, are on their
way to the Baltic provinces.
Confer on Campaign Plans.
Washington, Jan. 3.-General
Pole, commander of the British
forces at Archangel, has arrived at

FOOD TO EUROPE
Shipping is Not Available for
Quantities Of Supplies Now
Accommodating on Docks

i New York, Jan, 3.-Shipment Of
all classes of freight, and particu-
larly foodstuffs intended for Ameri-
can troops abroad and Europe's

from other parts of the country
through the ports of Boston, Phila-
delphia and New York for export
BY order OF the freight traffic conf
r1itee, north Atlantic ports, repre-
senting north Atlantic railroads, at
the suggestion, it was stated, of the
federal food administration.
Food and supplies are accumu-
lated on the piers of New York to
such an extent that it is impossible
for it to be handled or for cargo
space to be provided for its trans
portation abroad. Similar conditions
are declared to exist in Boston and
Philadelphia, with the situation be-
coming more serious.
Strike flinders Shipping.
Three principal causes are as
signed. One is the strike of freight
handlers, which was reported to be
spreading today. Another was dis
position on the part Of ship owners
to put their vessels in drydock'upon
being relieved from the war strain,
instead of continuing the ships in
trade. Still another was the holi-
day season with consequent decrease
in labor facilities regardless Of ex-
isting strike conditions.
II was declared that vessels for
use by the food administration had
rot beconre>available in the tonnage
that had been expected.
The embargo began yesterday on
shipments from interior points to
New York over the New York Cen
trail railroad. due to the strike by
freight handlers. Today virtually
every pier here was affected.
