It was asserted that tho farm supple ment weighs six times as much aa an issue of the Tribune. The cold fucta as shown by the scales, are that the supplement weighs eleven to the pound and the Tribune nine to the pound. Thus their claim is Hhown to be In error. ' In order to be absolutely fulr and to show th exact truth as to the relative circulations through the mails the East Oregonian has ptepared a more detailed report In which deductions are made not only for the furm supplement, but for the comic supplement b-sued Saturday, for the semi-weekly issue and for the fact the East Ore gonian la a seven column paper and Its rival a aix column paper. The deductions are for the known weights as ahown by the portal records for December and are as follows For Friday's Issue of Semi-Weekly, Including farm sup plement (weights from P. O. report) MS pound For Saturday's comic supplement (P.. t). figures) 120 pounds Deduction of one aeventh from total weight of East Ore- gonians to equalize size of papers , 591 pounds Total '. 1562 pounds The total mall business of the East Oregonian for December amounted to 4168 pounds. Deducting the 1562 pounds therefrom leaves a weight of 2606 pounds whereas the postal figures show all other local papers entered at the. local office during December weigh ed 735 pounds. In other words reducing this paper to the s'.me size and frequency of Issue as its competitor and the facts still show an overwhelming superiority by the East Oregonian. To be exact the East Oregonlan's circulation through the mall Is Just 3.54 times that of Its competitor. In amount of business, on a wlght basis the East Oregonian lead Is approximately six to one, as shown previously. The Pendleton circulation, by carrier, is more than double that of anv competitor and In addition carrier routes are maintained In Athena. Pilot Hock. Echo, Stanfield and Hermlston and an agency et Uma t'lla all of these papers being shipped by express. Facts count In a circulation statement; rhetorical ravings are out of place.

A Japanese "for eign legion." being raised in Japan to aid the armies of the allies In Eu rope will be welcomed, French offi cials acknowledged. They admitted the ra'sing of a volunteer force of Japanese would aid France in aolv Ing many knotty problems confront ing hr. Official participation of the Japanese in the European campaigns might result In serious complications it was pointed out, and Japan would be In a position to claim much cred it for the victory should her soldiers officially aid the Caucaalona In crush ing Germany. With Japanese forcea organized unofficially aa a "foreign legion'' It waa declared, this diffi culty would be eliminated. It was reported that the men who make up the "foreign legion" are picked vet erans of the Russo-Japanese war. They will be perfectly equipped, and it Is rumored commanded by one of the greatest military geniuses of Ja pan. Not only would a "foreign legion" fight In Europe, but It was expected, should Its services be required, the Japanese government will enter the war as an active ally of Russia and England. It was reported here that there is a growing sentiment In Eng land In favor of asking Japan to un dertake the protection of Egypt and India, In order to release British reg iments on duty there for aervlce in the western war zone. Russia Is said to have suggested unofficially that she will welcome an alliance permit ting the Japanese to join the Russians on the firing line in east Prussia, Ga licia and Hungary- England and Russia could easily pay Japan for the work. Military experts agree that should the aid of Japanese arms clinch the allies' victory, the mikado will have to be awarded a share in I the territorial spoils ns compensation. Nominations Are Maie.

PARIS, Jan. 18. From the Ar gonne forest to upper Alsace, the arm. lea of Germany and the alliea are floundering in enormous snowdrifts which block attempts to carry on of fensive operations.
