Relief is in Sight
For Western Tiemen

That prices and fairer systems Of
purchasing ties would be restored
and other grievances of western tie
men satisfactorily adjusted by the
United States railroad commission,
is the context of a message received
from Ex-Governor Oswald West by
o. H. Ball, secretary of the Western
Oregon Tie and Lumber association
which has headquarters in Eugene,
says the Guard. Mr. West was sent
to Washington by a group of lum-
ber and tie associations in this state
and Washington to present their
case to the heads of the railway ad-
minsitration. The action grew from
the initiative taken by the Western
Oregon Tie and Lumber association
in resolution passed at a meeting
in Mbany, Oregon, several weeks
ago. This meeting was followed by
a mass meeting of associations in
Portland two weeks ago when de-
cision to send a representative to
Washington, was made.
The chief grievance of the tiemen
against the purchasing system of the
administration has been that agents
have exercised unlimited authority
in rejecting ties cut for shipment and
degraded. too large a percentage to
a class below acceptance. The other
factor in the complaints is that man
ufacturers have been allowed to sell
their ties to only railways in their
territory, An,open market is asked.

West Prussia has sent declaration
to the imperial state authorities
stating that under no circumstances
will the Germans of West Prussia
agree to the reported plans of the
entente to internationalize the low
er Vistula or make Danzig and its
vicinity a free state, or place 1t un-
der Polish sovereignty. 1t is de-
clared that West Prussia with Dam
zig must not be separated from the
German empire.
In an editorial commenting on
| the failure OF the racial equality
clause to secure place in the cove
nant of the League Of Nations, the
Japanese Times declares that the ma
tional disappointment Of Japan
werges upon disaffection and affords
opportunity for sensationalists to
stir up anti-white prejudice. Repre-
sentative Japan regard the Paris
decision as a snub and a humilla-
tion, the newspaper says. 1t con-
tinues.
THE refusal of the august con-
gress of white peoples to accept the
principle OF equality of non-whites
probably will erect a perpetual mar
lrier to the harmonious commingling
of the races toward which 1t was be-
lieved the world was tending. II
can only tend to accentuate racial
Iprejudices, which will far from real
ize President Wilson's ideal lasting
peace"
Japans admission to the COM
pany Of the great powers must be
considered as only for the political
convenience of the allies, the Times
declares, and 1t compares Japan's
position to that Of a negro preacher
asked to speak in a church because
of his oratorical powers, but who
is not considered the racial equal of
the white congregation.
1T is well for Japan to remember
this point" the newspaper adds.
THE only way of sustaining Japan s
Iprestise must be sought in prepared
Nness to cope with international stu
ations as they develop. Peace on
earth and good will toward men
must be considered as still very dis
tant."

Jones, a member Of the 69th regi
ment, c. A. c., recently returned
from overseas duty, who gave briel
description of army life as witnessed
by himself and other Ashland com
rades who went abroad on this great
adventure.
Rev. c. F. Koehler, pastor of the
Presbyterian church of this city, al
so presented the reasons for sub
scribing to the Victory loan in
Reasonable and lucid manner. He
was followed by Hon. W. c. Haw.
ley, representative OF the First Con-
gressional district Of the state. Con-
gressman Hawley, perhaps more
than any other man in the assemb-
lage, realizes the needs of this loan
to assist in rehabilitating the re
turned soldiers and finding a place
for them in the walks of life, OF
which the fortunes of war have de-
prived them. His descriptions OF
the conditions of many returned sol
Jiers around the hospitals in Wash
ington brought the truths home to
the people in the sheltered west
country more forcefully than any
other methods had accomplished.
The opening of the Victory cam
paign was one of the most attrcttive
demonstrations presented here, and
all returned to their various duties
with broader conception of pa
triotism and realization of the need
to respond to the country's demands
than they had ever received before.

two round towers, with cone-shaped

There's quaint little lady whose praise would sing,
And we bow at her feet homage bring.
II is not for her beauty, her wealth or her ken
That she regns like queen in the hearts of true
For she sprang from the ranks of the owy of earth,
Nor blue blood culture enhances her worth,
While the striking creations lady doth
Would a modiste TO the verge OF despair
Ups the Salvation Lasse honor tonight
We may toast bold Spartans and Joan de Arc,
Who breasted life's flood when the dark,
Yet our Salvation Lassie, not needing the chance,
Gladly poured out her soul the shambles OF France
And many a lad in that shel-cratered land
Has felt the cool touch Of her pan-heang hand,
fond, doting mother who prayed for him there,
Little dreamed lassie would her prayer
And thousands Of lads whom we proudly acclaim
Would fight for her honor and die for her
Mid the passions Of and the battles wild crash
Her shoulders barred to wars keen, cruel lash
With meekness and love that was wondrous to
Like the Goldman she worshps far Calvary.
All sweet Salvation Lasse newly crowned queen,
With your little poke bonnet and gay tambourne,
The hot scaldng tear OF our gratitude starts
You have buded home in human hearts
You yielded your all to and the right,
Your heart is pure gold and your soul spotless white
So bow to tho wealth OF your virtues, serene,
