Patton has just returned home to Seattle, after spending many months at the fighting front in Europe. Ina long article printed in the daily papers Mr, Patton tells about the horrible barbarity practiced by the Germans ~half of which the world will never learn. To make sure of a future population to fill their depleted ranks, he says the German government is forcing every woman and girl over 15 years—whether married or not— to bear children as often as pos- sible. This ghastly order also applies to the several million Russian, Belgian and French women and girls under German rule. These women are also forced into all kinds of slavery, and compelled to do heavy work, such as farm- ing, ete. German leaders boast that this is the only plan by which they can | depend upon providing armies for a future struggle for world power. It is therefore not much wonder that all civilized nations have banded together with one deter- mined purpose in view—to destroy forever the world.” There can be no peace in the world as long as the Ger- man militarists are in power. Three what was “coming to them” one day this week. They wanted to go from here to Grangeville and our liveryman, Will Rogers, know- ing what a very cheap bunch they were, - offered to haul them and their 7 or 8 large grips over for much less than the job was worth. But the aforesaid cheap drummers telephoned to Grangeville and some one from there agreed to come and haul them over for 25c less than Mr. Rogers offered to do the work for. They started off, bag and baggage, through mud to the ears, and besides two break- downs, causing them to walk about half the distance, a bull- dog tore the breeches off of one of the drummers. A crowded house greatly enjoy- ed the Home Talent Play at the Orpheum Friday night, given for the benefit of the High School gymnasium. The hundreds who enjoyed the play were astonished at the splendid talent exhibited by everyone who took part in the performance—it being of much better quality than is possessed by the average professional show people and comedians. EE We notice by our exchanges that many schools throughout the state have adopted the “six days a week” system in order to com- _|plete the term in time to allow the boys and girls to be at home and help with the spring work. Nearly all of the schools in the towns south of here have adopted this system, including Weiser, Midvale, Council and Cambridge. The difference between the Rus- sian and German views of peace was that while Russia desired peace with Germany, the latter simply wanted peaceful possession of Russia. Small difference to make so much noise about. Mr. Patton says the} “mad dog of the} “cheap” Shannen got} Why Uncle Sam Took Over the Railroads. Some people are inclined to connect the present railroad situ- ation with public ownership. A foolish idea. The government does not want to take over the railroads and run them from now on. It has never even thought of doing such a thing. The present arrangement was entered into.so as to prevent anarchists, traitors, and other dangerous agitators from tying up the railroads at a) critical time under the guise of | “more pay and shorter hours,” a cry which has been going up from unscrupulous agitators for many years, and the howl could be heard by day and by night from one end of the country to the other. Uncle Sam very wisely took a hand in'the matter at this time, and the howling has been cut out to some extent. There will be no tying up of roads, dire threats and other rough stuff such as has been put up to railroad mana- gers, not while the war is on, and after that some other government- al arrangement will be made by which the railroad agitation will be at least sane and in the hands of sane m2n witha desire to do the fair thing between employer and employee.—Lewiston Banner. Monday’s Spokane Chronicle says: The next Liberty loan will be for $10,000,000,000, called about July 1, it is asserted ina re- port that came this morning over | the New York wire to the Irving Whitehouse company, stockbrok- ersof Spokane. The dispatch says the information came from Washington, but does not say on what authority or gives any idea of how much reliance can be pplaced on it. If this proves cor- | rect, bankers of Spokane and con- tiguous territory will receive the information with a good deal of satisfaction. Fewer loans, farther apart, and for larger amounts, are preferable to smaller loans more jfrequently. July also will be a }much more acceptable date than the spring, in this section of the country, for there will be much more money available in the fall than in either the summer or spring. It will be remembered that last September “Lawyer” Hofstede of Orofino, advised a number of young men to refuse to register for army service. Hofstede was arrested and convicted on the charge of obstructing the draft and sentenced to four months in the county jail. Three young men who took his advice were ar- rested and convicted for failing to register and sentenced to 60.days in jail at Lewiston. Their sen- tences expired this week and two of the boys, King Mooers and Ingwald Berg, were taken to Camp Lewis and placed in the army. Leland Mooers was phys- ically unfit for army service, Information has been received from a reliable source through the United States Food Administra- tion that about October 1, butter was selling in Berlin at $2.25 per pound, sugar 56c per pound, ba- con $2.11 per pound and 5 ordi- nary bars of soap for $1.12. A ham costs $90. A special restau- rant dinner.for three, costing $10, |consists of warm-water soup, some tiny fishes, a fragment of some sort of meat, a few carrots, a piece o turnip and an uneatable pud- ing.
