MIS PAPER REPRESENTED FOR FOREIGN ADVERTISING BY THE GENERAL OFriCES NEW YORK AND CHICAGO BLANCHES IN ALL THE PRINCIPAL CITIES lOOK SPOUTS ' j The seventh annual track meet j for central Oregon schools was hold ! Saturday in Prineville for the first t time, and was a marked success. j Tiiere were two outstanding fea-j tures of the event, noticeable to those who have attended the meets' in the p:,st. One was the fact that , Bend and Redmond both for thej first time failed to have teams In the events, and the other was the lack of "squabbles" over the do-' cision of the judges. j Whether the one was responsible , for the other we do not even wish to infer, but the truth is that the event was noticeable for those ; reasons. Jefferson county was present with good teams and also was Terrebonne 1 which enabled the events to fill, and j every man in the contests proved j himself a true sportsman. It is indeed regretable that the i Bend and ' Redmond men were not I encouraged or permitted to enter by their instftictors or leaders, and many of them were present and ex pressed themselves as very much disappointed that they were not In the meet. The excuses for lack of entry into the meet were on the ground that the war demands the time of the men at work other than athletics, in the face of the fact that the gov ernment is urging these things more than ever before. These were but excuses however, : and were never considered as any thing else by the men in charge of the track meet, or the people in the j towns mentioned above, who were j ersed on the circumstances. j The plans for the meet this year were made in the usual manner, I - were agreed to by officials of all the schools in the district and it was npt until after the medals had been ordered and the advertising matter provided for that the Redmond and Bend schools started to back down from their own propositions, and dhe damning evidence is to be had In letters written to Madras in a frantic effort to make the affair a total failure, for some reason that is best known to officials in the dis senting towns. Madras of course would not be a party to such tactics, and the suc cessful meeting resulted. The students, and most, if not all, of the people of Redmond and Bend saw the mistake after it was too late to make a change in the plans, and both Redmond and Bend papers were outspoken against the baby tactics of their officials, the Bend per J iT a . Bulletin of May 15. saying editorial ly as follows: "It is to be regretted that the Ilend high school Is not to a more prominent part In the the track and field meet to be held in Princville on Saturday. It is un fortunate, in the first place, th.it the Bend students are taking o little interest In athletics that they have no team to enter the meet. Physical training never meant more than it docs now and should be encouraged In every possible way. It is equally unfortunate that no team will go to Priueville because of the lack of re- ; ..ini-.i.-.-ition that will be suggested i I'rinevile sent a good team here last , 'year and Is going to consider-1 I able expense to hold the meet this) - . .i i- ..,i..t,t i vear. surety our wuooia i ! have met them half way. It is to be hoped that the men who are responsible for this blunder will bo eliminated before anollier event, or at least superseded, and when the 1919 meet is held in Jef ferson county, as it no doubt will be, that all will bo back In the game. In conclusion, it is only fair to the Prineville men in charge of the 1918 meet to say that this little editorial was not inspired by them. w. a. a. 1?RAVAIH AM) THK WAR Robert (irant's Timely Word of Cau tion service of (Written for the war the Vigilantes.) Recently during an intermission at the uiovi. s a performer came out and sang with gusto a song, which pleased the audience, about "Persh ing crossing the Rhine." Kvcry few days one reads headlines in the newspapers proclaiming that nine Americans have repulsed or van quished 33 Germans. This is bale ful talk. Our delay in the produc tion of ships and aeroplanes and guns may have been unavoidable, seeing that some people are thank ing God that the United States entered the war unprepared, but we should at least refrain from brava do, stop boasting of what, we are! going to do and recognize the grav- j Ity ot our undertaking. I heard an American officer high in command , say not long ago: "If our troops ever reach Berlin, when they come j to a certain building the quarters of the German military staff, let ! them lift their hats." He spoke ; from the point of view of military ! prowess.

Biographers agree that Mar-. us cease to hug the delusion that ius, the poor student of Les Miser our troops are "over there" to show : ables". is no other than himself at the others how to fight and that all that time. I will soon be over but the shouting. let us open our 1111 mi a iu mc biu (. truth that this war which we have pledged ourselves to win is likely to be a supreme test of American energy, endurance and self-sacrifice and to cost thousands of American lives. We are all of the belief that no man is braver than an American, ; but it is indispensable that ws ap- i preciate the quality of the foe! against whom we are pitted; thatj he is the arch fiend of military competency and power, the ruthless, unwearying embodiment of masterly force and resistance,, a monster of resourcefulness such as the world has never seen. The prophecy that Pershing will; cross the Rhine had benter be post-! poned until he arrives in sight of it, ' and the confidence that two of Uncle Sam's soldiers can handle i three of the enemy be put In cold storage until a later stage of the conflict. w. s. s.
