Loading Hay BY Air.

A blast of air is used to load hay
in freight cars in Oregon. The hay
is drawn up to deck or float beside
the car TO be loaded. a crane then
lifts the hay TO this platform, and
blower. driven by gasoline engine,
hurls the hay forcibly into the car,
packing it better than can be done
with the old fashioned hand fork.

cess-The Drive Is to
Run Six Weeks.

Coincident with the announcement
that the Protestant Episcopal church
has been reorganized with supreme
res 0onsible power over all its affairs,
comes the news that the nationwide
drive OF the church, both for re-
awakened activity and funds with
which to support a vastly increased
program of spiritual and mundane
usefulness, is scoring throughout the
country a success that rightly can
be termed notable.
Although the nationwide cam
paign, in its first purpose, was to put
the church militantly into action and
the collection of funds was purely a
secondary consideration. the first
week of the campaign has really put
the funds ppermost, so much so that
the measure OF the money taken and

and in many cases to more than

reported more frequently than merely
level takings.
In the western province the cam

Same Blindness at Paris.
We have been doing the same thing in
Paris There has been the same blind
ness, the same inability to see the whole
field from single point of view, and
We have about reached the same result.
Today we are not thinking of the
arrival of the German in Paris as we
were a year ago, but we have to con-
slider a new bolsheyist offensive,
which may pass the Eistula, which
might even conceiyably arrive at the
Rhine, obliterating in its advance all
those national conceptions in the
minds of the smaller people which
were and should be the best guaran-
tee we have against a new storm,
which has many points in common
with the storm which destroyed Ro-
man civilization and for centuries
turned Europe back to barbarism.
Pessimism Rampant in Paris.
do not think it is possible to ex-
aggerate the extent Of pessimism, of
apprehension, today in Paris, not
among members of the peace confer
ence. whose minds are fixed upon
drawing lines between Poles and Ger
mans and Serbs and Rumanians,
which would allocate fairly q certain
number of villages whose names are
unknown to the world, but among
those people who know the east of
Europe, who have seen the new storm
arising and who realize that we shall
not impossibly find ourselves before
the end of the next four months has
come in situation as perf1ous as that
we faced at the momen. when Ger
man troops overran KENNEL mountain
and reached the last line Of defense
on the road to Calais.

Ting the world war.
Mr.. Lloyd George was engaged in an
election. France was utterly exhausted
with the terrible strain of the struggle
and only beginning the enormous task of
opening her railroads and her highways
through her devastated provinces and
bringing food and fuel to millions OF
people suddenly freed from the German n
yoke. AS for Italy, she was engaged in
solving to her own satisfaction the prob-
lem of the. Adriatic, which alone con-
cerned or interested her.
do not think there ever was paral-
lei in history more complete than the
parallel between the strategy of the
Paris conference as it has unrolled in
the last four months and allied strate-
gy as it unroIled in the world for nearly
four years., which only terminated when
German artillery was within range OF
Amiens and the breach between the
British and French armies seemed about
to become permanent.

No Policy With Victory Won.

This Is the situation today, fsur
months after our military victory
One year ago, Germany surprised the
allied world by an offensive of a
character which had not been fore

was in March. In November, the Ger
mans again surprised the allies by a
surrender SO totally unexpected that
the allies had no common policy, had
not prepared policy to put into
operation at the moment when Ger
many surrendered.
All our difficulties-and they have been
enormous-have flowed from the fact
that We had no policy when the Ger
mans surrendered 1t took Foch from
