RUBBER BoA SNAKE rs
FOUND NEAR EUGENE

f. S. Hawker. deputy state game
warden brought to Eugene yesterday
a specimen of the rubber boa snake
which he found in the mountains 20
miles west OF Drain, He observed
the reptile on the ground and noting
that it was much different from the
common variety of snakes seen in
this state, brought II to the Uniyer-
sity to have It classified. He learned
that II was a rubber boa and that
this species is quite rare In this part
OF the country. The snake is about
two feet long and the biologists at
the university say It is entirely harm
less. II kills its live food by
squeezing 1t as boa constructor
does.

DISQUALIFICATION

The American army is now demo-
bilized. The fact was officially pro-
claimed few days ago, The mighty
force OF 100000 raised TO combat
the menace of Prussian militarism
has melted away. The European ex-
peditionary force of 100000 men
has been brought home, all but a
mere handful kept along the Rhine
and elsewhere for policing purposes.
The men trained but not sent abroad
have long since vanished from the
training camps. The great canton
znents are empty. Incomparably the
strongest force. in numbers and
fighting power, ever raised by this
nation, has given place to volun-
teer standing army of the old sort,
and OF little more than the old size.
TO tide over the interval until new.
permanent military policy shall have
been adopted. And from present in
dications that permanent" policy.
which will really be only temper
airy. will provide for force only
one-tenth or one-fifteenth of the
number recently in arms.
1t meant a tremendous change in
American life and thought to arm
those 100000 men. Their demo-
bilization was accordingly looked
upon with many misgiyings. The
nation had been so shaken up, and
those fighting millions in particular
had been so shaken up, what would
happen when they returned home?
Revolution, political or industrial?
Crime? Yagabondage? Radlcalism
OF every kind turned loose? Society
shaken? Property menaced? The
steady, permanent foundations of Ii
berty imperilled? Nobody knew.
Those 100000 men have come
back home-and nothing has hap
pened. That is, nothing evil or dis
quieting has happened that can be
attributed to them. The armies OF
other nations may have gone home
to raise red flags and flaunt lowered
moral standards and preach confis-
cation and the overthrow of the old
order. The American soldiers have
come back and helped to steady
things instead of upsetting them
They are better Americans than ever
The American Legion is proving
that.

Dear Man and Father:
With great pleasure we have receiv-
ed news from our friend in Holland
hat you are in good health and are
doing good business. farming. We
also are in good health, but what we
have suffered during the war is al
most unwriteable. But it has passed

If you receive this letter, answer
as soon as possible, and then will
let you know some things of the war
we went through. You might think
you know something about it, but
can tell you you don't. There were
many killed in the war, but more died
from starvation. Two boys, and l
found them; three children had their
fingers almost chewed off, and one
was found with it's fingers in its
mouth. This is just one of the many
cases 1 will tell you of later.
We had piece of land which some
one let us have to put into potatoes
during the four years of the war. We
have had scarcely anything to eat ex-
cept potatoes, and there were no culls
or peelings to be thrown away. If
people could have got potato peelings
many could have been saved.
But what to do with the four child
rem is something don't know, as at
the present time there is no trade
going on, and no business in the store
as there is nothing to be got. And as
there are five Of us, you may know we
are still suffering. But let us hope for
the future and trust in God.
