BENG FAIR TO GERMANY.

Former Ambassador Gerard re-
Gently adaresseha meeting OF several
hundred New York women. In the
course of his talk certain questions
were. asked him as to the fairness OF
various proposed methods of dealing
i,ss4ice to Germany. In reply Mr..
Gerard himself asked the following
questions:
..Was it fair for Germany to starve
prisoners?
was it fair to devastate France
and Belgium?
..Was it fair to take 10000 ladies
ike: you in this audience and compel
them TO work and live with Prus-
sian troops, with all that implies?
ssWas it fair to sink the Lusitania
.Was it fair to sink unarmed mer-
ehantmen and murder the sailors!
.Was it fair to do any of these
things contrary to international Ia"
cf which Germany has been guilty
He then added, There is no con
triton in Germany. So far we have
heard Only the sQuawks and soueai:
Of the bully when he is down"
There will be steady pressure ex
erted, by means of all possible Ger
man propaganda, to arouse a feenn'
of undeserved pity for Germany sh'

iustment Of peace terms there stu
may be some sort of split between TN
Allies and the United States. 1t
well that such words las these OF Am
bassador Gerard's be taken as warn

pity expressed for Germany.

END OF THE WORLD.

| There is a good deal of discussion
nowadays as to whether the Kaiser is
in truth the 'Antichrist" spoken Of II
the Bible. and whether the wars ano
rumors of wars do not portend the
second coming of Christ and the end
of the world.
It is fact that in almost all re-
iigicus bodies there now exists rath-
er strong feeling that the time is ripe
for a new teacher. to come forth.
Some believe literally that it will be
Jesus in the second ministry foretold
in scripture. Some believe that 1t
will be another Teacher. no less
great, teaching the, same truths taught
by Buddha and by Jesus, but with an
other emphasis suited for this other
time. Some look for him imme-
diately, others believe that it will be
nearly the end of the century before
the present chaos will have quieted
sufficiently so that he may be heard.
From one point of view the end of
the world has already been accom-
,plished. There has been no, literal
destruction Of the visible universe, or
even of our little earth. But all the
ideas, beliefs, prejudices, political sys-
TENS which made the world of the
past have been consumed. Thought in
every line is new. The springs of life
have been quiclSened. From the ashes
OF the fires of oid hatreds and nisun-
derstandings is sprouting a new era
The old world is indeed gone. The
tender shoots Of the new plant must
be fertilized with faith. They must
not be stunted with old dulness or
incredulity. We, who have been
born again in the baptism of fire OF
the past few years, must tend and
nourish this new world. And to do
it we must cast off the old garments
and cIothe ourselves in mental and
spiritual yesfures suited to the time.

Americans in Berlin

Berlin, Tuesday, Dec. 81 (By the

five American soldiers to be the first
of the American expeditionary forces

rious results for them.

A Farewell Banquet
Governor Manning Entertained
by Members Of His staff.
(The State. Dec. 3l.)

Members of Governor Mannlng's s
military staff last night. gave the chief
executive farewell dinner at the
Jefferson Hotel and at the conclusion
of the brief laudatory speeches pre-
sented to him a beautiful silver wait
er. The speech of presentation was
made by Col. J. Rion McKissick, edl-
tor of the Greenville News. The
handsome piece of si1verware was ac-
cepted graciously by Governor Man
ming. who responded feelingly in a
speech in which he reviewed the work
of his administration. and paid beau
tiful tribute to the members OF his
staff who have been his comrades in
service during the last four years.
It was the sense of the staff that
with the close Of the Manning admin
istration there should be no disband-
ing of the staff, and Col. George w.
Dick of Sumter, who presided, ad-
.lourned the meeting Of the staff, sub
iect to the call of the chief. Speeches
were made by other members of the
staff and w w. Ball, editor OF The

In concluding his speech Of presen-

'NewspapeEA sS
AT this time swhen territorial ques-
lions closely concerning the fate of
more thar three million Greeks still
under the Turkish yoke are about to
be decided, the National Council of
unredeemed Greeks sitting at Paris
desire to make known to the Ameri-
can public always so ready to uphold
the cause of the oppressed, that the
populations of Hellenic race of
Thrace, Constantinople and the whole
of maritime Asia Minor protest with
all their energy against any solution
whatsoever which shall not take into
account their right to dispose of
liberation peace in the near East will
always remain precarious.
The National Council Paris.
The foregoing appeal of the Nat
ional Council of the U~nredeemed
is a further proof of the conf
dence of Hellenism in the liberalism
of America.
The great Peace Conference is
about to begin; the issues to be taken
up are known; the desire, of h great
alliance to be fair to all is unques,
toned. The. spirit of Liberalism. of
Democracy and Justice is to guide the
delegates that are assembling in Paris
in order to bring about such an ar
rangement of the world affairs, as will
reduce the danger of future armed
conflicts to the minimum.
AS far as the demands of the Greek
populations of Constantinople, Thrace
Asia Minor and the Archipelago are
concerned, n thing is definitely es-
tablished and that is hat they are
fair and Just. MS Greek people has
not demanded anything hat it cannot
lave under an honest Interpretation
of the principles that won the war.
There is nothing imperialistic in the
demand of the Unredeemed Greeks In
asking to be united with their mother
country. No Greek aspires to the
hegemony of alien peoples. No one
wants the boundaries of Greece tc
spread u~nnaturally; no Greek wants
any Greece which is not made oil

THE CLAIMS OF THE GREEKS
AND THE PEACE OF THE EAST

n Nothing is more natural and more
democratic. The unredeemed Greeks
have suffered daring nearly five hum
dred years from Turkish oppression
and have preserved during these long
years their national conscience. Their
patriotism, and their nationalist ideal
has been tried during five centuries,
as hat of few peoples. They came
out the victors and they claim moth
ing more and nothing less than the
right to be one with the rest of the,
Greeks of their Mother Country.
h principle of nationality advan-
ced by these Greeks is worthy of the
most serious consideration on the part
of the peace conference which Is to
shape the destiny of the world for the
next one hundred years.
1t is a characteristic fact that the
national aspirations of the Unredeem-
ed Greeks in no way conflict with
those of their neighbors as far as Asia
Minor is concerned; neither the Syr-
iaDs nor the Armenians nor the Zion
lists nor the Arabs nave n claims
which in any way conflict with those
of the Greeks of Asia Minor.
In Thrace and Macedonia Bulgaria
has conducted for years an agitation
trying to create a Bulgarian national
list movement. but because this move
ment was simply in the nature of an
effort to establish Bulgarian hege-
mony in the Balkans it failed disas-
trously, while all the Albanian move
ment neal the Greek border of the
nAdriatic was entirely due to~the activ-
tiles of an i'll advised Italian imper-
ialist propaganda.
The U-nredeemed Greeks come be-
fore the council of Paris with open
records they are willing to stand for
any security of their national de-
mands: they demand Freedom and
Justice and they are entitled to it.
And as long as America Will always
stand for those eternal principles,
these Greeks will not be disappointed.

grasp of the situation, that the

A IL to 5 per cent to secure the

other articles and services, will
unavoidably command what it
is worth or go elsewhere. Capt.

TO AVOID

q TATE aid now available
D and to be available in the
future makes the road is
sue in this county very differ
ent from what it has ever been
in the past. Those who once
opposed bonding generally
support the present bonding
plan because they see the alb
surdity of not taking steps to
get what is coming to this
county from the state funds.
Should this county fail to put
up its part of the expense and
thus lose outside help it would
be like cutting off your nose
to spite your face. Other sec
tons of the state would get
money that justly belongs to
Umatilla county and will be ex-
pended here if we meet the
conditions.
The conditions are fair and
reasonable. 1t may be said in
a general way that if the coun-
ty will pay one half the expense
the state will do the rest. If
we do not meet the conditions
imposed we will not be ex-
cused from putting up our
share of the state money in the
form of auto license money and
millage tax for state aid. In
other words we will have to
pay our part of the state ex-
pense whether we make any
use of it or not. This being
the case it is a fair assumption
that we are going to take steps
to get our share. 1t would be
silly not to do so.
If you see a man who is not
in line on the bonding scheme,
which is the only method open
to the county, he has not stud
led the facts in the case. Edu-
cate him.
