MEETING BECOMES A SOCIAL : EVENTAS WELL AS BUSINESS All Work of the Chapter, Reviewed I Different Branches Tell of Condi tions Locally Work Has Been Heavy but Is Accomplishing Home as Well as Foreign Work. Discussing future work of the or 1 gnnization and reviewing many of the ' things that have been done the past ' few months, the board of directors l: and the executive committee of La Grande Red Cross chapter, which in cludes all of Union and Wallowa coup , ty branches, met last evening at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Bruce Dennis, corner of Second and Spring streets. ,, The out of the city members present were Mr. and Mis. L. Denham of El "gin, Mr. and Mrs. F. W. Gaulke of Jo - seph, Mrs. Keltner of Enterprise, Mrs B. B. Williamson of Lostine, Mrs Charles Mays of North Powder, Misa Anna Brooks of Imbler and Ed E. Kid dle of Island City. Different depart ments of the Red Cross in La Grande were represented by the following la- , dies and gentlemen: Mrs. DeLile : Green, Mrs. E. Rosenbaum, Mrs.. Geo. . Stoddard, Mrs. E. P. Mossman, Mrs. M. II. Talbot and Messrs. C. E. Short, A. C. Hampton and T. J. Scroggin. The meeting developed into an old ;; fashioned experience meeting - and ) each present told of Red Cross work i in his or her individual community in terest in which undertaking has been i keen and lasting. Mrs. Mays reviewed the North Pow der situation, dwelling upon the re turn of old neighborhood days during the recent epidemic when men volun teered to do chores for neighbors and women went to each other's hpme to do the cooking. Her story made one yearn for the days ngone when people lived before tho dollar-chasing age came upon us. And around all of this community work was the Red Cross band of fellowship. Representatives from other sections had similar stories to relate of the work being done, con vincing the most skeptical that the 'day of Red Cross work is here to stay, both in war time and peace time. The many things done by the La Grande branch during the epidemic in this city i were called to attention, not for praise "or laudation,' but to familiarize all present with the volume of work that has been before the organization. Mrs. W. H. Talbott, the chapter sec retary, answered- all questions that ' were asked by those present, for there were a number of things not under stood, clue to the fact that no meeting had been held since the new adminis tration took office. That a compMe. understanding on every detail was en joyed before Iat evening's' meeting ndjourned is a tribute to the- manner in which records have been kept. ; trof. Hampton of the juvenile i bianch of Red Cross work, told of the activity nmong school children and " assured everyone present that the Red ' Cross was here to stay because th? coming generations would be so edu .caled in the work that never would there be a time when it would be ne? lected.' C. E. Short, chairman of tho mili tary relief committee, reviewed t'.-.e wcrk dene in the work rooms, ai'o the work of th'c branches snd paid n high tribute to every woman who wields a needle for the Red Cross in both counties. It is Mr. Short's opin ion that Red Cross wrk will contiru? indefinitely, for there is plenty to do. Mrs. L. "Denham spoke of the Tce! lcnt condition of affairs in the t.'.g r branch. They pa el out the work in Elgin during these times iff f muA illness, but never is there a shipment thw'suffets delay. The rood, womer othat part of the county see that the one:? able handl the work receive it and the goods come !' to.head t.-irtcgi strictly fflon time and well ide. This condition is ajf o true of Rnbler, where Mi's dnna BrorOs is one of the jpyiin ijifors in the work. She told of converting the Red Cross room in Imbler into a community center and rceivedthe waOicet commendation for the movement from all present .last evening. Mr Williamson .$9Lo9nrhad a good live story of the work iruthat Expect Early Settlement of the Colonies Question PARIS, Jan. 30. Clarifying pro gress on the question of the German colonies was. ma do today by the su preme war council and assurance was given that the matter would be Bet tied by Saturday. The details of tho problem which caused the first split among the del egates of tho "Bis Five" will be worked out. American degates enter with a firm determination .not to consent to explotatlon of the German colonies. It Is presumed that anoth er victory for the president is being scored. Australia and New Zealand are bending their efforts to secure reversal of the British war cabinet's Indorsement of President Wilson's in ternatlonallzntion plan. Wilson conferred- with the United States dele gates last night and again today. Wilson and the United States del egates were absolutely against the claims of Japan for control of tho islands In the Northern Pacific and the Shantung province. The action of the British war cabinet tn tho face of opposition la particularly gratifying to the United States. Ja-1 pan and Italy were the bitterest opo nents of the Internationalization plan in spite of the President's address at Rome. Australia and New Zealand repre sentatives declared that they drove the Germans out with a heavy loss of BRITAIN FACES LABOR CRISIS IIUNDl;l!D FREIGHTERS IDLE WHEN CREWS QUIT I.abor, Employers, jintl Government Declared by Gcddes Working at Cross Purposes LONDON, Jan. 30. The labor crisis In Great Britain Is the most vital problem of today. It is the opinion of labor leaders tnat it will require the greatest finesse on the part of the government and on the part of industrial captains to reach a solution and rescue the country from the chaos now threatening. Re ports came in today that 100 freight ships are lying idle In the Tyne rlvor through the strike of ship workers. Great Britain over one-half mil lion persons are unemployed, ac cording to Sir Eric Geddes, former director of demobilization and first Lord of the Admiralty. Tho unem ployment Is increasing, Sir Eric de clares. If this were the sole menace there might be some optimism to the situation, but labor and employ ers and the government are working at cross purposes. There is a mutual distrust and a lack of knowledge ou each side for the other.- If this Is not settled soon the country will be In just a chaos as was Russia and this Is certainly to be avoided.

Ob to '60C0 rO.." o 'QairQ, 1 Hiram Johnson Denounces Peace Program in Senate Washington; Jan, so. charg ing that the United States has no pol icy in Russia; that its armies were sent into Russia to no purpose; that it has sacrificed the blood of its sol diers in vain, and that it has succeed ed only in bringing sorrow and misery to the innocent, Senator Johnson of California in the senate voiced a ringing demand for the immediate withdrawal of all American troops from Russia and the adoption of his resolution to this end. Senator Johnson denounced the peace program of the leaders of his party in the senate, particularly that part of it that spoke for the continua tion of American occupation of Rus sian and German territory. He listed the sixteen nations Senator Lodge would have set up in Europe to be "supported by American bayonets." ''1 will not subscribe to this doc trine," he shouted. "I will not for one instnnt concede that it is the duty of the republic to maintain order in a Jugo-Slav or Czecho-Slav state, in Al bania or Montenegro, in Rumania or Armenia, in Syria, Palestine, Poland, Finland, Esthonia, Lavonia, Courlnnd, Lithuania or Ukrainia. "I am opposed to Americaifboys po licing Europe and quelling riots in every European nation's back yard." Johnson turned his guns on Chair man Hitchcock of the foreign relations committee, who scoffed at the idea that the United States wns at war with Russia, "I take it that he means that it is just a little war, and becnuso it is such a little war, it ought to be dis regarded," - die said: "It is a little war. It in volves the lives of something over 5000 American boys only. It touches the hearts of perhaps three times that number of anxious relatives in the United States. Such a little wardt in volves only a few hundred lives, a few hundred maimed, a few hundred Amer ican graves on Russian soil, but to me one of those lives is more precious than 11 of the pretense of diplomury or tho protection of any government from tho just wrath of a righteous public opinion. Johnson referred to the policy of in- CARL WILLOOCK STRUCK BY CAR An automobile travailing up Fourth streot at an unnocssarily high rate of speed this afternoon ran ovor llttlo Carl Wlllcock, the slx- yoar-old son of Chas.

Most of tho cattle on the market were of a medium grade and brought corresponding prices. By afternoon there was very little left in tho yards, a good indication that tl.e butchers and packers will soon again be buying in their old-time form: The only feature of tho cnttle market the pint two days has been the ligh; run of rfreipts and the activity and Inler cs. jn what the market had to offer.

The board of city commissioner got ' ' through their regular weey session last night without anything occurring to upset tho equanimity of the mem bers, the improvements in the hAnlth conditions in the city having removed any cnuse for ructions. There were a couplo of items of business standing over from last meeting, which, with some matters of routine, kept the city rulers .in session until close to 10 o'clock.

' Tho question of tho cltv's water supply was discussed at some length, with regard to increasing the of water available for storage in the city reservoir, it was proposed to take measurements pf tho flow in lit tle Beaver and Beaver creeks, and the ' practicability of running a now pipe mo to. aunit-mo. waters of, little Beav- , or into tho reservoir was also dis cussed. The commission agreed that they should have expert advice on this proposition und the water question will likely bo'gone into with thorough ness in the near future. A communication was read from the Palmer Lumber company, which at present is pumping the water for m city from tho Grnnde Ronde river. The icttor stated that while the firm was ready and willing to pump as long as it was ablo to do so and while It was convenient, the firm would not make any contract with tho city. Tho price tho city pays for this work Is 80 cents per hour during tho eight hours of the day when tho lumber company is operating the pumps for its own use, and $1.20 an hour for night or over time work. Sheriff Warnlik was present at tha meeting to ask for co-operation on tha part of the city police In opprehonding motorists who are operating tholr car without proper license tags displayed.
