Umatilla county's estimated wheat crop, twenty-five
per cent greater than last year .will return as much money,
experts 'say, as the record yield of two years ago. With
present indications that will be a tremendous thing for the
Pendleton country. Wallowa and Union counties also prom

RECKONING MAN LOSS IN WAR.
, Revised estimates of the losses in the World war as
given by a writer in Current History show that 8,471,59.")
men were killed, in that conflict. The wounded number 21,
099,035. put of. 64,683.810 engnged one out of eight was
killed aiidj one' oul of three wounded. On the basin of num
bers under amis Rumania sustained the heaviest deaiii
losses, nearly half of her forces being killed. The United
States suffered the least comparatively, our late entry into
the military operations contributing to that result.
The percentage basis of casualties does not state the
case quite fairly for the American forces. For the time
our soldiem were in combat service and for the mimbe.
thus engaged wo lost quite as heavily as some of the others,
though in the aggregate the loss is slight in comparison
with nations fighting for more than four years. In mim
)er killed Germany ranked first with 1,773,000, Trance lost
1.357,800, Austria Hungary 1,200,000, and Grent Britain
908,371. Our loss is placed at 50,380 killed and 206,690
wounded.
Rare figures do not convey much information. Thev
lire too abstract. If two out of every three persons in the
United States had been mobilized and placed under arms
the number would have equalled the forces engaged in Hi?
war. The killed approached the entire population of Penn
sylvania. The wounded were as numerous as the people
in New York, Pennsylvania and Oklahoma combined.
These are losses of man-power. If the other losses in
cidental to the war were included- the list would le extended
greatly. And not all would be of a material character.
There were losses sustained that cannot be reckoned in
Tiumliers of men nor in dollars and cents, yet are a part
( f the loss.

the women's Zionist orgiinl.ution

The Zionist convcnlion will d"-

ltrltish mandate In the Holy Land,
upon which American Zionist
leaders will nutke ti ib-termlncd
fight otjlhe world. Zionist con
gress which will be held In VI-
una beginning August IS.
In mlditlon to celebrating the
advances made in upbuilding Pal
estine during the past year, as
represented in Ihe opening of the
Hebrew university on Mount Sco
pus, and the big strides In immi
gration and colonization, the chi.-f
Interest in the convention centers
about the resolutions tn he s ih-
mitted to the world congress at
Vienna on the Jewish Agency and
Great Hrltntn' administration ur
t he eounlry under its league of
nations.
American Zionist leaders, head
ed by l.ouls l.ipsky, general chair
man of the Zionist Organization
of America, are strongly backing
r. Ch aim Welzinann, president
of the World Zionist. Organization.
Ill extending the Jewish Agency
to Include non-Zlonlsts as well as
Zionist s. The Pah-sl Ine mandate
of the league nf nat Ions provides
that the upbuilding of Palestine
as the Jewish homeland shall be
conducted In cooperation with the
Jewish Agency, which shall con
sist of the World Zionist Organi
zation until otherwise changed.
The World Zionist Organization is
ut present functioning as the Jew
ish Agency, hut as a resilt of
Or. Welzmunn's policy, in which
he has been backed by the lend
ers of the present American Zion
ist ndn.inlstru.tlon. the agency is
to be expanded to Include 5o p-;r
cent Zionists and 5u per non-Zionists,
despite Die strong opposition
of some Kuropeun Zionists.
On Dr. Welxmann's last trip to
Anierlcu. steps were taken to or
ganize the American branch of
the agency on this basis, undT
the .direction of a committee
headed by l.ouls Marshall, and
with the cooperation of lending
Zionists and non-Zionists. With
many Kuropenn Zionists expect
ing to fight this extension of -the
agency at the Vienna congress,
an opposition Is probable also
among American .'ionisls. who at
ihe Washington convention, will
attempt to defeat Or. Welamnnn's
diagram, known In Europe as the
"American rian." I
Another resolution which will
be closely watched will be with
regard to the British ndminlstr i-'
tlon of the ' Palestine mandate, as
many Zionists have expressed
themselves as being disappointed
with Great Urituin's policy in the
Holy I -und. i
In addition to being the larg-'
est convention in the htstbry of
the Zionist movement in America,
the 1!H!6 gathering will definitely
mark the closing of the breach
which has existed among the Zion
ists of this eounlry since their
Cleveland convention in 1021,
when Or. Stephen S. Wise, Jus
tice l.ouls I. Hrandels and Jud'e
Julian W. Mack led u group
which broke away from the or
