GERMANY'S REPLY A DISA1'.
The Imperial government "of Ger
many has replied to President Wll
'son s note regarding the Lusitania
- disaster, But the reply is a plain
disappointment. Instead of , goin;
straight to the point Germany brings
.up new questions and mentions the
original questions as having different
angles than the President asked.
It is different from what anyone
would have expected from the sturdy,
straight-forward German nation.
This country is now up to the point
of making itself plain to Germany.
If the first note was not understood,
: as the answer would indicate, then it
is the bounden duty of President Wil-

AXJENT .THE UNION CHURCH.
V La Grande, May 31. (To the Edi
tor) Refering to a recent communi
cation touching the burning of -t lie
Christian church at Union the state
ments are so distorted and so far
from the truth that in justice to my
self I feel an answer should be forth
coming. Your correspondent, only,
judging from the statements made,
must have been very ignorant of con
ditions or possessed of a vast reserve
supply of imagination.
First, there was no dissension. The
parties making trouble were not
members of the Christian church at
Union." Second, the pastor has not
been let out. The entire trouble
arose over the action of a few people
who illegally and without warrant
attempted to force from the church
membership without notice one of the
members, and made an effort to de
prive the church of the property. I
am adverse to rushing into print to
air church trouble but since the com
munication in a recent issue of the
Observer I f eel that nothing else can
be done. May I add there is a Chris
tian church in Union. It hold3 its
services in the Purcell building un
der a lease. Its pastor is the under
signed, J. J. MORSTON.
CARE OF BABIES.

A mother may shield her
from suffering and illness in
ways. Her wise and loving care is
never so invaluable as in the nrsi
year of the baby's life. In this coun-

be misunderstood. i
y No one wants war, no ;one wants
even strained relations with the great
empire, but America is plainly in a
position where the lives of her citi
zens are at stake and where her na
tional honor must be reckoned with.
President Wilson will meet the oc
casion in a manly fearless manner,
judging by his past experiences . in
this very trying time and what ' he
says and does will have the united
support of the American people re

No other thing a mother can do
for her baby means more to him then
to feed him at her own breast. Bab
ies who are fed entirely at the brea3t
usually do not have diarrhoea, un
less overfed, but bottle (fed Ibabies
are very likely to have this trouble
even if their milk is carefully pre
pared. This is true at all seasons

ant in summer when the heat nnd

The day dawned clouded, and the
clouded skies
Threw gloom o'er all the day when
the school bell
Sends echoes that ring out and slowly
dies
With accents of a last farewell,
(farewell.
We've struggled through the high
ways steep and rough,
Thought paths of learning for a
' higher prize, '
Unto the heights where wisdoms
fountain gushed,
And where mountains of knowledge
skyward rise.
Vet still the prize is far, so far away,

Loom nearer in our pathway day by
day,
The calling : Voice we once heard
now is whist.
The voice that called through fast-
the brighter
departing years,
And beckoned on into
way;
But some have doubted, held by un-
-t I K . seen fears.
v Before they sttp" into the future
day. H . " ,

stone mark,.

way,
Will -some of us leave cloven on the
bark, , " -
Our records of receding yester
days. Now ere the sunset slowly dies and
fades,
Into the queenly night with misty
haze;
A pleasant dream in dreaming's deep
er shades
(Will bring a vision of the past
school days.
Farewell, Farewell the day speeds on
the darkness
With folding wings will gather in
the day.
The hills with purple tops dim and un-
certain
Will evening shadows o'er the val
ley lay. .
The day will yield its breath unto
tne nigni, , , ,
And reign ;t down in guiet subdued i
ways
The stars peep out in scintillating)
And we say farewell to the past
school days.
