Nativity OF Peach Tree.

The peach tree is a native Of Persia
and China. 1t was brought to Italy
by the Romans in the time of the
Emperor Claudius. was cultivated in
Europe as early as 1850 and brought
to America about 1880. Its name is
derived from Persico,, its native coun-
try. The ancients regarded it with
distrust, as according to Pliny they
supposed the king of Persia had sent 1t
into Egypt to poison the inhabitants
with whom he was at war. The Chi
nese have traditions of a peach tree
of knowledge and another of immor-
tality.

GERMANY AS VIEWED BY A WAR
LORD.

THE often repeated statement that
Germany prides herself as victor
in the world war is not the view taken
by the war lords who led that country
to its defeat. Take General Ludendorf,
for instance. Ludendorf was in SUI
preme command OF the western front
campaign for several years and later
was transferred to the eastern front.
Ludendorf II one of the first carat
Rutocrats. He was champion of the
policy OF Anything to win" But he
lost and admits that the loss was a
disastrous thing for Germany, real de-
feat in its very essence.
Summarizing this disaster, General
Ludendorf expresses the views of the
German leaders with regard to the vic
tory Of the Allies when he says;
Germany. by her own fault, has
been brought low. She is no longer
a great power; she Is not even an
independent state. Her very exist
ence Is In danger.
"Out of this world struggle she
comes weakened and diminished in
every respect. and robbed Of dis
tricts and peoples which have been
hers for generations.
''She loses her colonies.
"Her right to defend herself is
taken away. The German has lost
the right to serve his country in the
army.

which the Oregonian does not sub

readers should know, that the World
zealously guards the veracity and in
dependence of it's news columns, and
lends to them no purposeful faint of
partisan color. That is one reason why
it is one of the great papers of America
and why news connection with the
World is both desirable and valuable.
The World, however, is no mere
party organ through it's editorial page.
1t forms its own opinions. and 1t ex-
presses them with holiness, clearness
and power. Here, recently, 1t gave An
illustration of it's high spirit. The
Democratic state convention OF Mas
sachusetts had adopted in its platform
plank condemning Governor Coolidge
''for his inaction and culpability in
failing to protect the lives and property
of the people of Boston" in the police
strike. 1t denounced also his deceit
and breach of faith" for the assurance
that an emergency police force was
ready, when 1t was not provided until
it was demanded by the mayor of Bos-
ton" Says the World:
For downright mendacity it would
be difficult to find anything compar-
able to this deliverance in any equal
number of words in all our political
records. The mayor of Boston had
nothing to do with the police strike or
with its suppression. Boston's police
force is controlled by the governor and
a commissioner appointed by him. 1t
was Governor Coolidge Snd Commits

FATHER.

LIEUTENANT Colonel Theodore
Roosevelt, like his illustrious father,
the late Colonel Theodore Roosevelt, is
getting into the political game early.
He was this week elected to the New
York assembly in the Second district of
Nassau county, defeating Private Elias
Raft of the American expeditionary
forces.
Since he returned from France Theo-
dore Roosevelt. Jr, has been a very
active man. Although tempted to be-
come'chairman Of the st. Louis caucus
of the American Legion last spring. he
steadfastly refused in face of an in
sistent demand from all of the dele
gates present. To have done so, he
held, would lend color to the charge
that he was active in promoting his
own interest. His father having been
prominent in politics, political colorins
was given to the report. But Colonel
Roosevelt Jr., was not to be so trapped
and showed rare judgment by declining
the craftsmanship.
By being elected to the assembly he
is taking the first step in career that
may be just as brilliant as was that OF
his father. His work in the assembly
will be closely watched.

RUMANlA AGAIN.

TOR a small nation Rumania has

Rumania is continuing her defiant at

but IL Roumania persists in holding off

Rumania has shown a surprising at

among the Roumanians over in

to Justify use of the same tactics by
Rumania. The Allies have a definite

to Washington and addressed congress
and by that body was thanked for his
services abroad during and following
the war. Since then General Pershing
has dropped out Of sight. 1t is sup
posed he is up in New England enjoy
ing vacation.
The other day there arose in the
house "the gentleman from Indiana
Mr.. Bland. He is representative from
one Of the Indiana districts. We say
this in order that the gentleman may
be properly placed. Representative
Bland is one of those small men who
sometimes reach congress. 1t seems
he was sent to France with bther men,
bers of the house and expected to find
General Pershing leading the dough-
boys over the top in charge against
the Huns. Or, 1t is just possible, Bland
thought the general should be astride a
tank or horse as he CALAMITY lead his
men. At any rate he was disappointed.
BANDS public charge is that while
the battle of Chateau Thierry was be-
ing fought Pershing was 200 miles be-
hind the front line. Bland knows be-
cause he was there and, as he puts it,
Il found him." This inspires de-
lectable picture. Bland. during the
height Of battle, looked about for the
commanding general of the American
areas. lodging from shell hole to
trench, in and out among the wires,
back among the light field guns, back
farther where the heavy batteries were
being shelied, on back, up and down
the line, back clear to Paris, full thirty
miles away, and still no general. At
last after days of search, he came on
him, 1900 miles from the 'front.'
Il found him 200 miles from the
front" says Bland. 1t must have been
a dramatic situation. Bland looking ac-
cusingly at Pershing. and Pershing not
daring to look Bland in the eyes. Or,
perhaps. Pershing was busy with his
maps and reports and staff and sew
eral thousand details, among which was
a memorandum announcing the arrival
in the A. E. F. of another congress-
man, in which case Pershing doubtless
tossed the thing to staff officer with
a sharp order something like this, An
other congressman; take him round
and above all things see that he's not
hurt" Or it may have been that when
found 900 miles from the front"
Pershing was in fact fighting, fighting
his way through congressman and
other spectators over to view the fight
from safe distance.
The trouble with Representative
Bland is that seeing Pershing in action
he realized his own insignificance so
far as carrying on and winning the war
was concerned.
