The present day world-wide war, in which Mrs.

Werling reminds us that all of her family who can be in the service are in it, is the fourth major war tor this country in the span of her life, not to mention Indian wars and other skirmishes between. She has a staunch faith in humanity, however, and believes that the greatest difficulty with people is that they do not have enough discipline. "Young people are no worse today than they used to be except they have too much freedom!" she declared, expressing the view that in home life there questioning to get much comment I I because Mrs. Werling is determined not to be "publicized." To be 100 years old, however, i is quite distinction and deservT ing of more than a little mention. As one talks to Mrs.

Werling, all sorts of thoughts start racing through the mind regarding all that has happened since the day she was born, Oct. 10, 1843. The place where she today resides no doubt was just space along an Indian trail 100 years ago (this also is the Oregon Trail's centennial); Elijah Bristow, who built the first home in Lane county at Pleasant Hill in 1846, and Eugene Skinner, who founded the city of Eugene, and their party were not food conditions have delayed marketing of the birds.

C4 Much of the fault which Senator Lodge Mass.) found with the war news sent to troops overseas probably lies right at the source: where it Mrs.

Werling has resided In Eugene since 1910. Her husband, the late Joseph Werling, a retired railroad man, died in 1926. They came west from Minneapolis. Proud of Family Besides the two daughters here, Mrs. Werling has three other daughters, Mrs.

He said here that he is talking with government agencies to find the reason.

This wai the kind of thing he said was happening: Troops who have suffered heavy casualties with friends shot down and the battle in bitter progress are told their losses were light while the enemy's were heavy arid that the enemy is being mopped up. Particularly he recalled that this was so in news sent to troops of New Georgia island in the south Pacific although he said "ride with any flier 15 minutes and you'll hear the same thing." He mentioned that troops on New Georgia get their news in two ways: by short-wave radio from San Francisco and on mimeographed sheets prepared on the island. The army special service division's information branch sends out by wire 2000 words of news daily to the south Pacific stations where It is mimeographed by the army for the troops; also it broadcasts to the south Pacific five minutes of r.ews six times a day from San Very little news of action abroad Is given out by the army or navy in Washington, both branches of the service leaving that up to the theater commanders.
