Show Thaw Prevents Flood
Damage Near Portland

Portland. Ore, Dec. 19.--If the
snow all over the, Willamette Valley
goes orr as easily as Il is disappearing
in Portland, there will be nothing
even approaching flood in the
river. according TO II. L. Wells, dis
tfiot forecaster of the weather bur-
bureau.
The snow In the lower districts OF
Portland is already half gone. and 1t
y passing in steady fashion. although
somewhat disagreeably to pedestrians
in a way that SO far has little affected
the Willamette. This gives room for
the snow higher up to come down
on the lower lands and then pass out
without a rush.

PAPER CONSUMPTION

washington, Dec 19.--An appeal tc
newspaper publishers to reduce dur
ing the next six months their consump-
ton of news print paper 10 per cent
was issued today by Representative
Steenerson, chairman of the house
postoffice committee, on behalf of the
committed
This appeal is expected to take the
place of legislation by the committee
forcing the reduced use, of print paper
by refusing second-class mailing priv
ileges to newspapers exceeding fix
ed weight. Such legislation was pro-
yided in a bill introduced by Represen-
tative Anthony of Kansas and on
which the postoffice committee has
held hearings
Such action is necessary to prevent
destruction of large number of
newspapers in the smaller towns and
cities and inflict irreparable injury on
the communities served by them" the
committee declared
The appeal is the result of promises
by leading publishers Of the country,
made at hearing Monday, that with
some action by congress the paper
shortage could be relieved voluntarily
by the papers themselves !

UNITED STATES WILL
LET JENKINS CASE DIE

Washington, Dec. 19.--Despite
Mexicos uncompromising attitude in
refusing to dismiss the charges against
w. @, Jenkins, American consular
agent. 1t was evident today that the
state department intended to- let the
diplomatic correspondence in his case
lapse and the "crlsis'' die a quiet
death.
This, 1t was believed, was due en-.
tirely to President Wilson taking d
strong hand In the matter ana ton
ing down the belligerent attitude this
government assumed, while Secretary
Lansing was managing the negotia-
tions for Jenkins release. Mexco's am
swer was to. obtain jenkins release on
bail, thus beciouding the issue, in the
opinion Of the United States and then
to send very polite note saying there
couldn't be any crisis now that he
was out Of Jail, but that he must be
prosecuted in the Mexican courts ON

 The defenders of Baker have made point of the fact that the c. o. were not given honorable dis charges. But it must have appeared even to Baker that that would have been carrying things too far Beside we suppose that Bakers pets did not want honorable discharges from service which they pro- fessed to despise. An honorable discharge vould have been a break in their "martyrdom," only an other affront to their consciences whereas dishon orable discharge brought their conscientious obtec ton to it's logical triumphant end

The Flight

It has been proved that it is possible to fly in sn aeroplane from Trepassy. New Foundland across the Atlantic to Plymouth, England, and it has also been amply proved that it is yet hardly worth while It was nearly two weeks ago that the start was made, flight which the more sanguine hoped might be finished in three days. The route was marked every fifty miles by American destroyer The flight was delayed day after day for favorable weather and there was long interruption at the Azores by unfavorable weather Of the three airlanes which started only one has completed the flight Two were lowed ashore at the Azores in Q disabled shape.

Red Heads Dav

A week or more ago there was celebrated in New York the feat. the greatest accomplished by Q single individual during the war of Sergeant Alvin C. York of Tennessee, big red-headed blacksmith and an elder of the Christian church. With force of six teen men under Sergeant Early York was sent against some machine gun nests. With rifle and pistol and redheaded nerve he alone accounted for twenty-eight Germans. The exploit was concluded by his single handed capture Of more than one hun dred men.
 The achievement has been celebrated in "A Ballad of Red Heads Day by Richard Butler Glaenzer The last verse is:
 Absurd but true-Aye. gospel fact:
 For here with a level head
 Who scornng fail for the help he lacked
 Helped himself till he won instead;
 An elder was he in the Church of Christ

But have the champion of the postmaster general President New comb Carlton of the Western Union But he least of au men could do Burleson any good Mir. Carlton has been his right hand man. his chief if his only adviser the government direction the telephone and telegraph wires and doubt the condition in which they is largely attributable to Carl toms manipulation.
 Under the control of the postmaster general the officials of the Postal company complained from the beginning that their company was being dscriminat- ed against in favor of the Western Union. MT Carl ton was also understood to be urging government ownership of the lines. Mir Carlton was on the in- side
 His attempt to show that the president of the Postal company trying make government management a failure cannot avail Bureson any thing If true, it would only prove what is already established, the folly of putting a great business enterprise into the hands of politician who knows nothing about and who is unable in his ignorance to protect himself.
 Certainly the president of the Postal was not re- sponsibe for the increase in telegraph and telephone rates. in spite of which the companies are all run ntng behind whereas they were making money in private control under the old and lower rates.
 The most that the president of the Postal could have done would have been to form a conspiracy with officials of the Postal to bring about deterora- ton of the service of that company, but that could not have affected the Western Union lines The deterioration not confined to the Postal It ex- tended to every thing Bureson touched was pain fully present in the postofce department long before the telegraph and telephone lines were taken over

We Can Hold Them

Villa has warned Washington, If the administra- ton at Washington lets Carranza troops pass through the United States to Jusrez, neither nor anyone else will be able to hold my men" To hold them from what? We do not know whether this is a threat of an invasion of the border similar to that Villa himself headed at Columbus N Nf in 1916 or whether ery still within territory controlled or to be con trolled by Villa.
 Times have changed since began fooling with Mexico, five six year ago. If Villa cannot hold his the American army can do it for him There are said to be 5O,OOO American soldiers stretched along the western end of the boundary line and as many more as may be needed are available and willing
 If we have occasion to enter Mexico because Villa cannot hold his men We shall do so, not in the weak spirited, halting way in which Pershing was sent to avenge the Columbus massacre, an expedition that accomplished more than the construction of roads in Mexico where there had been none before
 If our doughboys are turned loose in Mexico it may be expected that there will be a thorough mop ping up of vilistas and other bandits who seem to reed holding
 We had in the Pershing invasion fine oppor- tunity to pacify Mexico but taught the Mexicans lesson. They learned only that the invasion of the United States not precarous enterprise if they could only get back to their own side of the line
