Daily the press chronicles the destruction of shipping and lives by the German submarines. Today comes the news of the sub marining of a Belgian relief ship, without warning, so it is al leged, with the killing of seventeen Danish sailors. Every day shows that the ruthless submarining policy is on in full blast. This will inevitably lead to war with the United States, unless either one of the powers recedes from its position. It is almost certain that if the United States goes to war with Germany other neutral nations will follow. In that event it will be Ger many, Austria, Turkey and outcome will not be' doubtful. prowess and German valor, it is the whole world. It may be that ous way to end the war. Let us ance of our diplomatic relations moral effect that it is intended I -.1 f uemn me suspension oi international law and mat we aiv le- termined that American lives shall not be wantonly sacrificed as the result of ruthless submarining. The United States has spoken to Germany m a solemn days delay may mean that Germany is considering relenting and thus avoid driving an old friend into the camp of her enemies. O THREE GOVERNORS ARE COMING. The officers of the Oregon Cattle and Horse Raisers' Associ ation are to be congratulated at securing the attendance! of Gov ernor Withycombe, Governor Lister of Washington, and Gover nor Alexander, of Idaho, at the convention to be held at La Grande April 24 and 25. This will do more than any other one thing to fix in the public mind the importance of the approaching con vention. 0 FARM U)AN ASSOCIATION ORGANIZED. The Grande Ronde National Farm Loan Association is now under way with officers duly elected, a board of directors, and a committee of appraisers, ('has. II. Reynolds, of La Grande, is secretary-treasurer. Farmers who wish to join the association should send in their applications to him. O AN EASTERN OREGON HIGHWAY. Iii Grande is much interested with' Pendleton, Baker and other eastern Oregon cities in securing a state highway through Eastern Oregon which will connect the Eastern Oregon empire with the Columbia River highway. This is our due. We have contributed largely to the state highway fund, and it is right that the money raised by taxation for state highways from Eastern Oregon should Ik expended in our country. This highway will be one of great scenic and commercial importance, and the whole state will be Itenefitted when travel is made possible through this district. O MERIT IS RECOGNIZED. Everyone in La Grande read with, approval the promotion of Dick Buckley to be assistant superintendent, of .1. F. Corbet t from "chief dispatcher to assistant superintendent, of C. F. Roberts from night chief dispatcher to chief dispatcher, and T. A. Mc.Kinstry from dispatcher to night chief dispatcher. This is proper recog nition of able, accommodating and efficient service.
