PENDLETON. Or.. June IS. (Spe
cial.) Pendleton took the boys of old
"troop D to her arm this evening; with
even more of a demonstration than she
sent them away two long- years ago.
Bronzed and rigorous, the 38 members
of the troop who are with the 148th
Field Artjllery landed here shortly
after f o'clock this evening-. It seemed
that the entire county was at the train
to meet them. Hardly had the train
stopped moving- till the boys were out
and In the arras of their sweetheart
and mot her.
It was "Hello Dan. hello Bill." all
the -way down the line as the boy
leaned from the ear windows to greet
their acquaintances at the station plat
form.
Here, this Is no time to cry,
warned Sergeant Gill as tears started
to flow during the greeting. "Let";
laugh. The weeping time's past."
Mfi la Gao4 Shape.
"Don't look like I had trained down
much, "eh." said Jack Coleman. "No,
well, maybe it's been a mighty fatten
ing since four or five months ago.
"its sure warm In this Pendleton
o n." was the comment of Lieutenant
Walters, Pilot Rock man, who is In
charge of this dstachment of the 145th,
but It's nothing compared with Utah,
or with some of the things we've been
through. Coming back? Well, rather,
and so are all old troop D boys, so
far as I can learn. Of course, we'rt
not all back quite et, but with a little
session at Camp Lewis. I guess we'll be
Lraatilla county citizens again."
Quite a demonstration had been pre
pared for the. boys, but the troop D
men dldn t share in It to any extent.
Tbey took their places in the line and
marched down Main street through the
cheering crowds.
Peadletoa Mea L! Heme.
But as the line of march changed to
go toward the natatorium, where the
boys were to freshen up before din
ner, there was a mutiny, incited and
inspired by the home folk. This was
no time to take a swim, there was
plenty ct good hot water right at
home, and John and Bill could visit
while they had dinner.
Since that was pretty good logic,
slid there wasn't much else to do. the
order was given that troop D men
could have the time till midnight, when
the train leaves for Portland: and that
was the end of the parade. Neverthe
less, out of the some 500 men who were
en the train, there were more than
enough to fill the natatorium to
overflowing. Too many. In fact, for
the limited supply of bathing suits.
Mayor Vaughan solved the problem by
banishing the women folk from the
premises, and turning the boys loose
without suits. It was some time.
I; Baaaaef Is Kajoye.
Then, after the swim, the members of
the canteen committee of the Red Cross
had prepared In the Elks club rooms a
regular, banquet and there the men
gathered later in the evening and pro
cceded to lay in a week's supply of
eatables.
In the evening, after the dinner had
ceased to be troublesome. Happy Can
yon was turned over to the soldiers for
a dance. The great pavilion during the
first training days of the troop was in
barracks. It was there thst the troop
was mustered into the federal service
nd It was there that the final fare
well was given two years ago.
Tomorrow morning another detach
ment of old troop D mill reach Pendle
ton on the train carrying the members
of the I46th field artillery. The men
'were about divided between these two
brgantzations. The exact time of ar
rival of this train has not yet been

time around o'clock.

Constitutional Prohibition Leglsla-
. tion Separated to Assure Action
Before End of the Month.
WASHINGTON, June 25. A straight.
clear-cut bill for enforcement of war
time prohibition will be reported out
tomorrow by the house Judiciary com
mittee.
Decision to separate the wartime
from the constitutional prohibition en.
forcement measure, said to be the most
drastic liquor bill ever presented to
congress, was reported after an all-
day session. A proposal that two dis
tinct bills be drafted was rejected yes
terday, but it was brought up again
today by Representative Walsh, repub
llcan of Massachusetts, and was pend
ing when, a motion to adjourn abruptly
ended the discussion.
Bill to Be Reported Oat Today.
There was no indication as to how
the committee would have voted, but
several of the leading prohibition mem
bers agreed tonight that in view of
the manifest differences between the
two Issues and the possibility that the
sale of beer and light wines might be
permitted until January by presidential
proclamation the wisest thing to do
was to report out the wartime bill the
first thing tomorrow and the consti
tutional bill later in the day. In this
way there Is every assurance, they said,
that the wartime bill would be passed
probably by both houses before the
end of the month, at which time the
dry" act becomes effective. '

Steel, democrat, of Pennsylvania,

provisions of the enforcement act, ex
cept as they relate to interstate aid
foreign commerce, should not be ef
fective in any state until ratified by
the people. It was said tonight that
ne or two members voted for the
amendment as a "Joke."

ALARM PROTECTS VAULT
Ashland Cracksman Frightened by
Electrical Device
ASHLAND, Or., June 25.-(SpeciaL)
A little terrier belonging to people
in apartments over the 'Citizen's bank
of Ashland started barking furiously
about 10:30 last night. He was hardly
quieted when the clanging of the bank's
electrical burglar alarm drew a large
crowd..
Investigation brought to light an
open window at the rear and numerous
footprints and fingermarks. Apparent
ly an amateur cracksman had sought
to break into the bank vault, but had
escaped when he ran afoul of the elec
trical protective device.
The device was set to go oft at S
o'clock had the bank employes left
the door out of adjustment, and the
bank officials are positive that the in-i
stallation of the alarm system two
weeks ago saved their vault.

Ships Under Admiral Rodman to
Visit San Diego, Los Angeles and

WASHINGTON, June 25. The re
cently created Pacific fleet, now
being organized from vessels hereto
fore forming a part of the Atlantic
forces, will sail from Hampton Roads
for the west coasc between July 15
and 20, Secretary Daniels announced
today. Mr.' Daniels probably Will be a
passenger on one of the warships.
The superdreadnought New Mexico
WW fly Admiral Hugh Rodman's flag
as flagship of the Pacific fleet and the
Pennsylvania will remain the flagship
of the Atlantic fleet. The composition
of the two fleets. Secretary Daniels
announced, will be made public within
a few days.
Coast Ports to Be Tiaited.
The Pacific fleet upon reaching the
western coast will visit San Diego, Los
Angeles, San Francisco and probably
will make the last stop at Puget sound.
Secretary Daniels, if able to make the
trip, will visit the Pacific coast naval
yards and establishments with a view
to making recommendations to con
gress next December for necessary
changes.
In announcing the date of departure
of the Pacific fleet from Hampton
Roads, which is about a month earlier
than previously contemplated, ' Secre
tary Daniels said he had planned on
visiting the Pacific coast in August
and that he, therefore, would make
every effort to go with the fleet in
order to study the scope of contem.
plated improvements of naval ' facili
ties at the Panama canal.
Canal Changes Necessary.
It was learned at the navy depart
ment that extensive changes would be
necessary in the naval establishment
at the canal zone, especially on the
Pacific side, to take care of the greatly
augmented Pacific fleet.
When it was first decided to make
the Atlantic and Pacific fleets of equal
size and strength, the plan was to
send all of the oil-burning ships to
the west coast and to keep the coal
burning vessels in the Atlantic, due to
the geographical disposition of the na
tion's fuel resources. This plan has
been abandoned, it was announced to-

American Denial Made That Presi
dent Favored Internment In
stead of Surrender. ,
PARIS, June 25. The council of
thrce.i composed ' of Premier Clemen-
ceau and Lloyd George and President
Wilson, at its meeting today, dis
cussed the scuttling of the German
fleet at Scapa Flow, according to the
Paris office of Reuter's, Limited. The
council examined fully the facts rela
tive to what took place with regard
to the ships at the time the armistice
was signed.
The following statement, the news
agency Bays, may be regarded as an
official explanation:
"At the time of the signing -of the
armistice the - British admiralty and
the British government strongly urged
that the German ships should be sur
rendered.' The French military author
ities, however, -put forward the view
that for the purpose of the armistice
the surrender of the German ships was
not absolutely essential. They were
most anxious that the armistice should
be concluded, having regard for the
very serious loss of life daily on the
western front. Insistence upon sur
render of the fleet, they felt, might
delay the signing for which, despite
rumors to the contrary. Marshal Foch
was as desirous as anyone.
"The French, therefore, suggested
that the German ships be interned in
neutral ports. This view was support
ed by Admiral Benson, American naval
representative in Paris. Ultimately a
compromise was reached providing for
the internment of the ships in a Brit
ish port."
An authorized denial was made in a
high' American source today that there
was any truth in an intimation made
in the British house ft commons -yes
terday by Horatio Bottomley, independ
ent member from South Hackney, re
specting the disposition of the German
war fleet. Mr. Bottomley's intimation
was that President Wilson had over.
ruled the plea of Premier Lloyd George
that the German shjps should be sur
rendered instead of. interned.

Coxey of Massillon.' O., who, in 1S94,

"Or, failing in this peaceful and de
sirable mode, then revolution. Think
it over: is there anything else left for

GERMANS BALK AT "HONOR"
None Can Be Found Willing to Ac
cept Berth as Envoy to Admit
Nation's Helplessness.
(Byr the ylsioclated Press.
Another day has passed, with the
delegates of the allied and associated
powers in Paris awaiting in vain def
inite word from the Germans as to
when they will be ready to sign the
peace treaty. Unofficial opinion in the
French capital is that the momentou
event will not take place before Sat
urday, and possibly not until Monday.
The council of four was Informed
that during Wednesday the German
government was busily engaged In try
ing to arrange the -personnel of its .
delegation in Versailles.
The Germans thus far have given
no intimation as to what men are to
be the choice of the Bauer govern
ment. Unofficial advices indicate that
the cabinet is experiencing great dif
ficulty In finding men who are willing
to take upon their shoulders the duty
of acknowledging, In a document which
will become world history, Germany's
utter defeat in the war and her un
qualified acquiescence to the terms of
the victors.
Leaders Sidestep Taak.
Reports are that Herman Mueller,
foreign secretary in the Bauer cabinet,
like Or. Haniel von Halmhauscn, de
clined to accept the onus for signing
a treaty admittedly obnoxious to the
Germans.
Even a visit Wednesday to Versailles,
where the members of the original
German delegation still are, by the
general secretary of the peace confer
ence, failed to bring forth any knowl
edge of what was being done in Ger
many toward the selection of pleni "
potentiaries.
Paris dispatches assert that owing
to the uncertainty of the situation tht
heads of the allied and associated pow
ers are contemplating- the issue of an
ultimatum setting a day and a time
satisfactory to them for the appearance
of the Germans before the peace con
gress to sign the treaty.
Officers Threaten Move.
Dispatches from Berlin indicate that
feeling over the peace situation still
is running high in German military
circles, officers speaking of "defending
the honor of the German arhiy and its
leaders" by adopting "specikl meas
ures. '
Formal approval has been given by
the supreme council of the conference
to the plan of giving Belgium priority
in reparations to the extent of about
jaoo.ooo.ooo.
PARIS, June 25.The peace confer
ence of five met this afternoon to dis
cuss the political status of Galicia. It
was understood that the council also
planned to examine into the general
question of colonization in Africa.
Dinner to Envoys Set. '
Up to 4:45 o'clock this afternoon no
official word had been received here
regarding Germany's plans with re
gard to the formal signing of the peace
treaty. The peace conference leaders
were undisguiscdly perplexed over the
situation.
It was announced today tha. Presi
dent Poincare's official dinner to the
peace plenipotentiaries will take place
Thursday night. It was originally
planned to hold the dinner on the night
of. the signing of the treaty, but the
uncertainty as to the date for the cere
mony has caused Thursday to be named
definitely for the dinner irrespective of
the time of the event at Versailles.
WILHELM REPORTED SHOCKED
Former Kaiser Hears of His Aban
donment by German Leaders.
AMERONGEN, Tuesday, June 24.
(By te Associated Press.) News of
Germany's decision to accept the poace
terms, including the clause providing
for the delivery of the former German
emperor to the allies, reached the castle
late yesterday evening. Exactly how
the former emperor was affected by
the tidings cannot be ascertained, but
the attitude of members of his party'
gives rise to the belief that the news
was a shock.
When the Associated Press talked
with attendants they made - the most
scathing criticism of the German na
tional assembly for' Its action. Evi
dently they had held to the hope that
some way would be found for the for
mer emperor to return to Germany.
Now, however. It apparently is realls
that he is exiled forever.
The former monarch resumed his
customary log-sawing at the usual
hour.
