Ht. For Battle
TIRES, like men, have to be "stripped for
, action" if they're going into battle. J ,
Under the terrific battering of American roads,
"extra features" ore a burden, guarantees are
useless. Only clean-cut, well-built tires can stand
the punishment . I
f We're glad to tell you that Diamonds are rolling up :
thousands of, miles for our customers, with "come
i backs" so few and far between that they don't count.
Diamonds are "fit for battle," ready to jump from
our complete stock to your car on short notice. ;
DiamondTubea keep their life for years. We
consider them the best tube on the market.

both business and 'residence streets
to witness the pageant. , ,
, Probably the1, Oregon sun never

Three generations of soldiers were
represented in that mile-long parade
t the heroic past, the Indignant and
"outraged present and the determined
; future: the bowed and' faltering vet
' eran of the Civil war, the stalwart
soldier of San Juan and Santiago,
and the stripling recruit who will
eventually help to beat down the
Hun In Europe. Three of the great
races and a doten of 'the great na
tionalities were combined In the
ranks ad joined In the jargon of
sounds a mighty protect from de
mocracy against the wrongs of au
tocracy. t . . v ' - . i ,
In the line of march were city,
county and state officials,' represent
atives of the Red Cross, Oregon
militia, civic sooletles, O: A. II., Boy
Scouts, high school cadets, 4he Cber
rians and other organizations. Prob
ably In. the neighborhood tf 2000
people were participating in the dem
onstration, there being several hun
dred school children, armed with
cow-bells, rattles and other nolse
roaking Instruments. Not less than
a hundred automobiles and trucks
joined In the parade, most of them
bearing the national colors. Owing
to the brief time given to prepara
tion, there were but a few floats,
but these attracted a good deal of at
tention. One of them, bearing a
group of women in costume and car
rying, the title "Yeomen," elicited
applause all along the line.

A wry suggestive feature of one
display was a huge rake of Ice in
which was imbedded a portrait of
the kaiser, and over it the legend.
"Krose In.' Another detail worthy
of mention was, the big service flag
of the hlahwav commission, borne
by a group of marchers.
The Cherrlans made a conspicuous
unit In the parade with their Jersey
crentn uniforms, and at one point a
retrain person was beard to remark,
"That's he best lvVnr bunch of
men I ever saw In Salem."
The various units of the pageant

FRANCE, April 6. The artillery
alone made war during the night
and early this morning, but made it
with great vigor, chiefly in the vi
cinity of the Junction of the French

concentrations are visible. The In

seemingly marklrg time, while tak
ing a rest, perhaps for another great
push here or elsewhere.
The present fighting la progress
ing over a rather broken country,
and the Germane are meeting with
the fiercest resistance on every Incn
of it, and they are open to counter
attacks that are perilous for thera.
