MONDAV, APRIL 29,! 1018. CAN IT BE DONE? Tim kaiser Is a shrewd man. But so are you. Then let s see what you wiuilil do If you were the kaiser. perhaps we can figure out what his future actions will oe, anu nuu u way to checkmate them, says Lowell i CheBter, of the Vigilantes. . In the first place, It you were the kaiser, you would have to admit It as a certainty that if the United Statet completes the training ot her arm o a million and a halt men, getfc . them thoroughly equipped, and sendt them over to the trench line, then Germany will be decisively beaten. Your generals would tell you that, li you forced them to tell you the truth. And that truth would stana out ovpi and above all other considerations tfou wrfuld have to face It. Now. how would you deal with It? Yot would run over In your nilndi al. (possible ways or stopping Amerlca'i (preparations. From bitter experi ence you would know that Ainerlct can not be bluffed out; and youi . Btaffs of military, naval, anu secret service officers would assure you that every means of force and sub terfuge were already being tried to their utmoBt, and without any ap preciable effect in stopping the ir resistible embattlement of .Ameri can men and American millions against you. So finally you would be driven to admit that only by some sort of surrender could you save yourself, and Germany. "Sore sort of surrender." And than a great thought strikes you! A wonderful Idea doubtless sent to you in your hour ot peril by your side partner on high. Suppose you publish it broadcast to all the nations that you are ready for the sake of humanity, of course to 1 make peace iy giving soich conces sions as cannot be rofused by the allies. They -would be backed by guarantees, Iron-bound guarantees, oh yes! You would evacuate north ern Prance, "restore" Holglum, re habilitate Sorvla, and even code AlHnpft-l.nrriilnA. If nncflflfllLl'V. The Gorman people would welcome peace at that price, and the cuneruls and jnnkers-vwith a word of your big Idea In their oars would koep their mouths Bliut. And America? Aha! That is- the big idea itself! Of Icknirse the few intelligent Ameri can B would be susplclouB, but the mass of the American people fools and pigs! would boo In those sonor ous concessions a glorious victory for peace, nnd the chiuico to get tholr men back again out of the army. They woulu Jump at tlio bait and by their insistent and clamorous de mands force the govornmcnt to ac cept your terms. And that would mean the stopping of the American preparation and the disorganization of the army In France! Yos, It would necossltate the withdrawal of German troops from Franco nnd Uol- glum, and the ccsoion of Alsace-Lorraine on paper. But what ot that? ; If America does not Btop, renioin . ber, you would havo to do these things wllly-nllly. And It would not ue for long, anyway. With America safe back on lior own side of the At lantic, and a little tl mo to bully Rus sia Into restocking you with food and perhaps men, it would not take more than a year or two or to organ ize quietly a now and sudden raid whldh would oh, what wouldn't It do! Guarantees? Oh. well, you wouldn't tako thorn seriously, of course! if only tlio Amoilcan fools will tnhe the bait! Isn't that the wny you would work It, If you were the kalsor? And as 1 said, the knlsor Is a Bhrowd num. But so are you, thank Gnd! Everything to and from Europe except our troops and food and mu nitions can wait a few weeks.

R and Reno Relief Corps spent a very de lightful afternoon on Friday at their hall In the armory, It being . their regular monthly social meeting.

It being the 71st birth day of the lady, who Is hale and hearty for one who has passed the mile stone. A clollgntrui after noon was spent In conversation, knit ting and strolling around the well kent little garden spot of a noine. We will not forget the shower of wild flowers the three darling grand children brought to their venerable nandmothor, wishing her many re turns of this happy day.

RIDER KILLED BY HUNS PENDLETON, Or., April 21. Al bert (Dell) Blaucett, since 1911 one of the prominent figures among Pen dleton round-up contestants was killed! in action March 13, according to woi d received byjiis bankers here from the director of records or the Canadian government at Ottawa. He is the first Pendleton man to meet this fate, - Blancett was one of the men re sponsible for tlie formation of the Cowboy cavalry troop, whlcluleft here last summer as troop D. He was unablo to pass the physical ex aminations, and went to Canada, where he succeeded in enlisting in the cavalry. After reaching Eng land his troop wns made over into infantry, but Blancett, because of his superior horsemunship, was trans ferred to fill a vacancy in the famous Canadian cavalry the Lord Strath more Horse. As a frontier show -performer Blancett was known everywhere these shows were staged. He was an all-around cowboy, and often an event winner. His relay strings were winners, and with his own troupe Blancett himself staged a number of shows. Blancett's widow, Bertha Blancett, a famous cowgirl, Is now living In Independence, Or. His mother Is in Union, Calif.. AFTER LAW VIOLATERS City Marshal Dave Shambrook has been doing a wholesale business since he was lnltlatedl into the office of chief-of-pollce of this- city, his record showing that he has been "on the job", every minute, and. that with good result, from a financlnl stand point. Up to last Saturday he had made arrests for the violation of the city ordinances by automobile drlv- KSJI a. IUI liiu iuiwowhv iiivmiil uii.j. wnicn nas neiien ine cuy tne ueai sum of $51, nnd In "grabbing" dog licenses he has been . a veritable "go-get-'em." Heretofore the usual . . ; . .. . ... . number of owners of dogs who paid their dog tax amounted to only about 67 persons. Since he has been In ofnee he has increased this num her to 1 1 9 which gives a total cash revenue to the city of $207.00, ii'hich only goes to show that he has had his eye open to conserve the city's Interests as well as showing no fav ors to anyone playing a 60-50 game with everybody only asking that persons keening within the - law, Marshal Shambrook does not take snap jueilxment In performing his duties but when finding that a law Ib being violated always informs the pnrty ot the fact In order to avoid any trouble, then If things are not lighted an arrost follows. Of course, this docs not apply to auto drivers, for when a violation occurs with them It is usually takon for granted It Is a regular habit, unless of an extraordinary charactor. VAUDEVILLE PROGRAM.

"1 have seen so mucn that is fine In the way our navy is keeping the taith along the west toast ot France," said JitmcB Kerney, director of the Fi anco-Auierlcan committee of pub lic intoriuatlon, "tnat I think the folks at home would like to khow how admirably our troops and sup plies are being safeguarded.
