PEACE TALK.
The house of commons is going
to hear, maybe, some talk about]
peace. Mr. Asquith is going to be
asked if he still clings to his declara
tion, made at the beginning of the
war, that England is not going to
quit until she has put the kaiser up
a tree, and has an axe in her hand.
George Bernard Shaw, as frank as he
is wise, sees the absurdity of As
quith’s pronouncement and says that
while he believes Germany should be
driven out of Belgium, “there can
be no further thought of crushing the
German empire."
Now that this very sensible view is
beginning to percolate through the
eraniums of those ruling England’s
destiny, there is some hope of peace.
There are whispers of peace in Ger
many, too; although Germany has as
yet registered no solemn pledge to
crush England, and will not have to
swallow quite so many words. Ger
many, at least, her some hate songs
for the waste basket.
Shaw says that peace should be
concluded on terms that will enable
the warring nations to respect each
other after it is all over. The Shaw
idea should be allowed to percolate
a little longer. England cannot
crush Germany; Germany cannot i
crush England, and the sooner both
understand it the quicker there will j
be a lasting peace.—Tacoma News. |
The graveyards of Europe are en- !
joying an intensive prosperity. It j
is said the armies of the central pow- j
ers have lost 5,000,000 men, not all j
dead of course, and many of them \
back on the firing line. A writer in I
Leslie’s says the allies have lost more
men than that. If this be true, the
total must be somewhere around ten
million—a ghastly casualty list that
benumbs the imagination.
In the recent army aviation scan
dals they are not going after the men
higher up, for a captain testified he
had never flew higher than 600 feet.
PACIFIC COAST FORTS.
Like snakes in Ireland there are
none—at least none that any foreign
warship of today would regard as
anything more than a huge Joke.
Take those at the mouth of the Co
lumbia, for example..
The big guns of Fort Stevens are
credited with a range of five miles.
They are placed on a sand spit in
plain view of any incoming vessel—
when it isn’t fQggy—and it’s a poor
battleship that hasn’t guns with a
range of over live miles.
On the north side of the Columbia
Fort Canby is ideally situated behind
a great headland, on which are lo
cated three batteries of obsolete
guns. If every nation in the world
hasn’t a complete description of this
armament it is only because they
have not wanted it. The corporal’s
guard that it stationed there pays
more attention to visitors who roam
about the fort and all over the res
ervation than they do to the fort.
We read a good deal about what
is going to be done in San Francisco
and on Puget sound in the way of
fortifications, but very little about
the needs of the great harbor of the
Columbia, the key to the food sup
ply warehouses of the Inland Em
pire. There is a large opportunity
here for the live, energetic young
Oregonian congressman who makes
his debut in Washington this winter.

Germany has captured all of En
gland’s allies with the, exception of
New York.—Constitution.
It may be unpatriotic, but perhaps
those young Irish who are so slow
about enlisting don’t want to get
killed.—Indianapolis News.
London continues to send out dis
patches to the effect that the Ger
mans are about to submit tentative
terms for peace, and Germany con
tinues to insist that these stories are
but the father of the hope dormant
in England’s breast. We have no
doubt that both parties to the affray
would dearly love to get together,
but national pride prevents them. It
cannot be said that either nation has
had a picnic during this war.

feurs of the war automobiles with no
speed limits to hamper them.—At

Believed They will Unite to Prevent
Balkan States from Losing
Share of Spoils after War. '
BUCHAREST, Nov. 11.—It is re
ported here that King Ferdinand of
Bulgaria, King Constantine of Greeoe
and King Ferdinand of Rumania, are
soon to hold a conference which it is
believed will result in their present
ing a united front at the close of the
war and insure the Balkan states that
they will not suffer by any of them
being swallowed up by the Teutonic
or Allied powers.
The Balkan rulers realize that they
hold the key to the situation in the
near east and that by uniting they
will be in a position to make demands
which would not be considered if
they acted independently.
It is reported that the Balkan rul
ers are opposed to the Teutonic pow
ers of central Europe extending their
domains to the south and will de
mand that Serbia be apportioned ber.
tween the three countries. It is also
stated that the conference will de
termine the attitude of Rumania and
Greece toward the Allies being per
mitted to continue to cross Greece in
invading Bulgaria.
Blood will tell, but there are other
and better ways of telling.—Street
Journal.
The Germans will be lucky if they
are driven out of Russia before win

Germany has lost all of her for
eign possessions with the exception

and Chicago.—Houston Post.

War Office had fill the gaps that
are left at home—New York World.
