As I have been visiting, in London 'aince the beginning of the war, I have been hearing the question asked on II aides; I have never heard any sat iKfartorv answer. No one seems to Herbert "r. Carson ; in the mrirjin Metal Market. Wkv are the American factories not running night and day? Why arc the railroads not tpemng up new territories and getting ready for the millions of Immigrants who have al ready made up their. minds to lttVC Xarose as soon as the war is over Whv are there not 60 American drummers in London right now, try 4 a soil (200.000.000 worth of 'American goods in place of the goods that were' bought last year in Gur . many and Austria? , Why have advertisers become quit-! ters, just a the time when' their ad ' vertisements ' were most needed and most effective in cheering on the business forceB of the United States? From the European point of view, the United States is a haven of peace nd security and prosperity. It has no troubles that it dare notjnention Belgium or Austria or France or Ger many or Servia or Great Britain or - Russia. Evey . tenth Briton has enlisted. Every tenth Frenchman . is at the front Every tenth Belgian is dead. What does the United States know of trouble? If I could afford it, I would char ter the Mauretania and the Lusltaniu, and carry -a-party of 6,000 American advertisers to Europe for a trip of duration. I would firive them a weeki tn London, a week in Paris, and a week in Antwerp. I would let them look at .the United States from the scene of war. I would give them a look at real trouble. I would let them see trains, 16 at a time, five minutes apart, packed with the maimed and dying. I would let them hear, from frag mentary visitors, the incredible sto ry of battlefields 150 miles wide, and armies that are greater than the en tire -population of Texas. I would let them Bee graves 100 yards long and full, and Belgium, the country that was, -nothing but 12,000 square miles of wreckage. , : ' -: Then 'when 'they begin to under" etand, to some light extent, the mag nitude and awfulness of this war, I would say to them: 1 ' .,; : ? ; "Now , go back and appreciate th United States. Realize your 'oppor tunities. Don't start digging trenches when no one is firing at you. Don't fall down when you have not been hit. Don't be blind to' the most glorious chance you ever had in your life. , "Go back and advertise. Get ready m mm V S ,r'-f"ntJ.

Pendleton; Jan. 25.- Dick, Auams, prominent McKay farmer, came down this morning with the head of a coy ote which literally ran a mad carusr before a bullet from tne rme oi uick Bush laid it low after it had all but bitten him. The head was sent to Dr. Calvin White, state .health -oil i-. cer, for an examination to aeiermine whether or not the animal had the rabies. Arenrdinir to Mr. Adams, the coy- nfo Hou hpfnr vpsterdav boldly camt- down to the Bush place near McKay postoffice and attacKea tnree oi hltinir all of them. When Bush appeared, the rabid animal turn ed from the dogs to the man. Bus!: fled for the house out, looKing over his shoulder to see how close his pur nnr was. he stumbled and. fell pres. trate. The animal was ' just in the nut of hitino him when one. of his own dogs seized the coyote from be- . . . . . n l. hind and saved nis master. nusn ran into the. house, seized his rifle and quickly sent two bullets into the coy- cte and ending nis worK wim a ciuu. The head was detached and : the body buried. Mr. Bush is watching his dogs and will probably have h kill them, though he values' them highly. ' : V i ' This is only one incident of. rabid coyotes on McKay creek, declares Mr. Adams. About a month ago, a coypt appeared at. the farm house of Rob ert Hanna, attacking 'the, 'dogs- and chasing Mr. Hanna in the housei .'On the same day it appeared at the ranch of Joe Holmes. A little more than p week ago one of the dogs on the Charles Wright place went mad . and a hog on the Dave Horn place, with his tail bitten off, became so crazed that it had to be shut up. - j. 4- RECITAL THIS EV0BN1NG. -fr 4 Musical circles of La Grande 4 are to gather tonight in numb- J era to hear Miss Maude Good- 4 4 win, of Oakland, California, in 4- her : recital for the benefit of the Y.
