VIEWS PEACE
AS BITTER MOCKERY AT
END OF FEARFUL YEAR
Nation Uncomfortably Close to
National Bankruptcy; Labor
ing Glasses, Unclaimed, Now
Unwilling to Work.

Omitted Press staff Correspondent
BERLIN. Nov. 13.-one year of
peace,
A bitter mockery, says Germany
year after the great wars end.
1t has been a year of aught but
peace for her.
And, she looks out into the uncer-
! tain vista of the future with misgiving.
She fears that it is the old cry of
lpeacei peace, when there is no peace.
She shrinks before the realities. For
they spoil for her, perhaps, further
plunge into the chasm of moral, ply
lsical, economic disintegration which
has marked the Teuton course.
Conclusion of one year of peace
found the nation uncomfortably close
to national bankruptcy. 1t found her
with a laboring class, unclaimed from
the grind of the past, now unwilling to
work-and in many cases unable for
want of the raw materials. 1t found
her with a government which despite
good intentions and hard efforts has
been unable to progress materially.
And, too, it found her with internal
strife, with political haulings and pull
ings. with strivings after monarchy
and with strivings after proletrian
dictatorship. in short, with confu-
sion and a moral breakdown which
threatens before the winter dies to
flame out in new civil upheavals with
possible bloodshed or with further in
dustrial stagnation.
Pendulum Swinging.
The pendulum here has swung from
the redism of last November's revolu-
tion to more moderation, it is true.
SipnS fhnt fhn
ultra conservatism of the Pan-Ger-
mans would sweep back into power
The air is filled with rumors of
clashes.
One side says, "The monarchists
will overthrow the government, and
put a Hindenburg or even a Hohen-
zollern in power" The other says,
THE Sparticists plan trouble. They
will bathe the land in blood again to
establish their rule of the proletariat." :"
And both sides speak with some de-
gree of truth. For certain it is that
the extreme right and the extreme
left arc bent on establishing new
order of things, while the present
Ebert Bauer Mueller government,
formed of majority socialists. centrists
land democrats, banks on Noske and
his iron guards to keep Germany in or
der.
Aside from Noske and his guards,
lGermany has little to bank on. She
only prays and hopes with a sort of
blind hope that the spring will bring
her new life.
Dread Winter.
"If we can only get through the
winter is the prayer on every side.
For the poor, confronted with coal
shortage-cold homes and still re-
stricted rations-it is a prayer that

Recent Eve hts Are Simply Climax of Long Series of Out rages- High Cost of Living Forcing Hundreds of
 Officers to Resign From the Army
Fly HUGH W. ROBERTS

Washington, August o.-(special) )--The United States must so into Mexico. The majority of members of Congress admit belief that that ultimately may be post poned, but cannot be avoided
 Prior to the capture by bandits of two American fliers, a capture which again proved carranza's inability to cope with the outlaws which infest his realm. re- lstions between the two countries were strained. They are now almost at the breaking point.
 But the most serious situation, it is judged in Washington, is that growing out of the expelling from Mexico of the sole English representative there William Cummings, who had charge of English archives at Mexico City.
 England has always jealously protect ed its citizens and guarded it's official dignity If the expulsion of Cummings is not satisfactorily explained, there is no doubt in Washington but that Eng land will ask the United States to wipe out the indgnity. or will insist on doing it herself. Tn the meantime. it is thought probable that England will ask either the United tSates or France to act for her in Mexico.
 There are 5o,coa American troops on the border, and American battleships are so close to Mexico that the blockading of her ports could be accomplished within record breaking time.

Attacked by thugs hired by his rival in business. Bryce Cardigan overcomes them and in the presence of the gill he loves tages his vengeance on her uncle. Beast she called him, but he only smiled and turned away. The day came when "heast% was changed to a more lovely word, and this brings US to the climax of ''The Valley of the Giants. the grip ping romance of the California redwoods in which Wallace Reid is appearing at the Strand theatre
 Nothing but praise has been heard from the thousands who have seen this picture the first three days of this week. and praise is bestowed on the production from every angie. Photography, story and acting are given full credit for mak- ing "The Valley of the Giants one of the greatest pictures ever released by Paramount
 It is faithful perturbation of the novel of the same name by Peter B. Kyne, and it breaks a record in this particular for screen productions-it does not fol- low the story so closely. However, "The Valley of the Giants as Mir Kyne wrote it, is a story of action and dramatic sit nations. and these were easily adapted to the screen
 it easy for the producers was in the se- lection of the locale of the tale. He placed his characters in the most mag nifiicent forests known to man, and the screen production shows these forests in an artistic way, worthy of any artist. Under the towering trunks of mighty trees the drama is worked to it's close, with Wallace Reid in one of the finest parts in his long and successful career.
 While The Valley of the Giants" is a story of action, it is not all outdoors, one does not have to sit through unchang-

 This delightful story of youth and the fight it makes for it's inherent right of
 fun, laughter and play which aristo- cracy is trying to make it live without, provides a splendid opportunity for Miss Davies to display her talent. Her beauty. her personality, her youth, her innate grace and charm are all given chances for expression in Getting Mary Mar ried.' She is a combination of piquancy, vivacity and irresistibility.
 Getting Mary Married is the story Of Mary, step-daughter of the ultra-aris- tocratic John Bassard. He has kept her a prisoner in his large, elegantly furnish ed house and has branded every girlsh impulse as malady like. He does not think she has enough fineness, as yet to appear in the world as a Bussard. He dies, and at the reading of the will Mary learns that she inherits his entire for tune on the condition that she goes to Boston to live with. his brothers family for one year, so as to acquire little more veener.
 Mary has no intentions oN being held in subjugation for another year so she decides to go out into the world and make her own living.

Washington, August -(Special.)-The farmers of the country have complicated the situation. The railroad brotherhoods demanded government ownership. Con- gress was preparing to control rather @eHan @ own property, especially food and ii.ti ,rult ana clothing property, in order that hving expenses might be reduced.
 And then along came the farmer and tnrew monkey wrench into the works lie demanded that those things done he undone, and those things left undone be done; and Congress, if it runs true to form, will heed him.
 IT the unionists were radical the tanners were reactionary, in that they would have the pre-war status restored The unionists, as political factors are such factors are as old as the hills.

PROGRESS OF
 OIL INDUSTRY
By HOLLAND.

New York. August 2o.-(special) ) Approximately three hundred and fifty million barrels of petroleum were taken from the American oil fields last year This crude oil has been or is to be con- verted into many essential products as for instance from it was taken enough to make it possible to manufacture and to market thirty-four million barrels of lubricating oil.
 Already the people are beginning to get good understanding of the rela- tion of this industry to American pro- gress and in fact to the industries of the world. This new understanding may be due in part to the fact that American oil furnished one of the most important of the influences and factors which entered inso the war work of the United states and of cur allies There fore now it is accepted as a fact that among the five leading American.fndus-

SEARCHING FOR OIL

Nevertheless the men of science and the prospectors are now searching for new oil fields as diligently and as skillfully as in times past search was made for deposits of the precious metals, gold and silver X few days ago information came to New York that the experts who have been jour neying through northwestern Canada have reason to believe that enormous deposits of oil are to be found beneath the surface there. It that be true it is certain that transportation will be provided whereby the oil can be brought to the markets and to the refineries
 So also there are some reasons for presuming that the day is not distant when oil, perhaps in large amounts. will be discovereN irN Allska and if it is no matter how remote these oil fields may bo from seaport. transportation will certainly be provided. The unex- pected revelation of vast pools or wells of oil rn the southwest tend to Justify the belief that these are not confined to narrow limit but extend throughout the southwest While the leaders in this great national industry. confess that they cannot say with certainty tiat our oil resources will be exhausted within a few years nevertheless they appear not to be greatly alarmed hay ing confidence in the ability of the prospectous and in sudden and unex- pected discoveries of new fields to reveail new oil resources. Therefore the exhaustion of the oil fields may be more than made good by the exploi;- ing of new ones so that this one of the five preeminent industries will continue for many years to maintain it's refa- ton to our industrial life

BUTLER SCHOOL
 AFFAIRS AIRED BEFORE SENATE

Montgomery, August 2o.-(Special) Butler county school affairs came in for a good airing before the senate commit tee late Tuesday, when a delegation of citizens of the county were heard on three bills by Representative J. Lee Long, of Butler county. The bill was passed in the house and is now before the senate committee for action.
 Inc bill provides for the election of county superintendent of education, an- other for the creation of separate school district out of the town of Green- vile and another the apportionment of school funds to that district according to per capita.
 Strong opposition developed when the Butler county delegation appeared before the committee The attack against the measures was led by former Represent ative Lazenby. Speeches against the bills were delivered by Representative Lee, of Butler county; County Superintendent of Education Pepper, Attorney R. E. Smith and Jesse Stallings
 Prof Pepper suggested certain amend ments. lie declared that the bills were the result of padded school enumerators two years ago wherein Greenville had sought to secure an apportionment much in excess of the real per capita of edu- cable children in the precinct. Repre- sentative Long declared that the bills were desired by large majority of the people of Greenville. The discussion of the bill went over to Thursday afternoon.

The HAZEN ARTICLES

The articles that have been written
by David Hazen, staff correspondent
for the Portland Telegram, have
aroused a protest from some local citi-
zens. To the casual reader, who mere
ly glances at the headlines, the i'm
preston may be gathered that Hood
River is today land of Japanese. But
all in all the series of articles, so far
as they have appeared. seem to US a
very fair statement Of the local situa-
ton.
Mr.. Hazen has pointed out that no
personal enmity exists between whites
and Japanese. but that the white orch
ardists, alarmed over the very notable
increased purchases of orchard proper
ty, have set into motion machinery
which they hope will prevent further
purchases. While the articles quote
leaders of the new anti japanese
League as complimenting the local
Japanese on their thrifty residence
here. the orchardists, who pledge them
selves against further sales of realty,
declare that the point has been reached
where further Japanese aggression
menaces the future welfare of the val
ley. All of this is true. In its present
status, the Japanese situation here is
not one to worry over greatly. But
when we note how Japanese residents
have increased in some California fruit
districts, naturally we wish to prevent
repetition of such conditions here.
1t is true that Mr.. Hazen's articles
may temporarily hurt the valley. The
open statement of facts often has such
result. But in the long run, if it aids
the anti-Japanese Association of orch
ardists in their proposal of limiting
Japanse residence to the present nun.
bers. it will have been of worth.
True news statements about any dis
trict never caused any permanent
harm.
