WASHINGTON. Juno 1 Proi.id.nl
Wilson and the German ambassador,
Von Bernstorff, held a conference of
thirty mlnutea at the White House
today. No statement was issued at
the conclusion of the conference.
It is believed the ambassador told
the president, substantially, that Ger

the Lusltanla the ambassador Is be
lieved to have told the president Ger
many has reason to believe in the
soundness ot her position regarding
the vessel's defiance of the rules of
International warfare and the viola
tion of an American statute as to
carrying explosives, but that this pre
sents no Insurmountable obstacle.
The most saneulne obmrvvn d!d
not expect Von Bernstorff to indicate

COMMERCIAL CLI 11 ENDORSES
I'ltOTOSAIz-TTV WILL BE
GAILY DECORATED.
To make Chautauqua week durlrg
this month a holiday week for town
and country people alike Is the pur
pose of a move started by A. J. Mc
Alllster, chairman of the Chautauqua
committee, and endorsed by the Com
mercial association last evening. Mr.
McAllister was empowered to select
a committee to tee that the city is
decorated for the occasion and that
other measures be taken to make the
week of entertainment a big one.
The Chautauqua this year will be
held from June 22 to June 28, Inclu
sive, thus closing on the Tuesday be
fore the Fourth of July. Mr. McAl
lister explained that the merchants
are all in favor of making the Chau
tauqua a big event and leaving the
celebrations of the Fourth for the
country towna.
So enthusiastic Is Mr. McAllister
over the Chautauqua and so firmly is
he convinced that It will develop In
to a great success here that he has
personally given the Ellison-White
people a pledge of enough tickets to
defray expenses and la giving a great
deal of his time toward attending to
the many preparatory details.
Wallace Struble of Lewlston and
Astoria was present at the meetlntf
last evening and teconded Mr. Mc
Allisters' remarks, declaring the Chau
tauqua without an equal as a feature
of entertainment. "In time the Pen
dleton Chautauqua will become such
a success that It will not only be self
sustaining but will net profit which
may be put Into other civic ventures."

The attention of the world la to-i
day focussed on five men. the "Big
Five" of Italy Premier Antonio Sal-
andra. General Conte Lulgl Cadorna,1
chief of staff of the army, Prince
Louis of Savoy, Duke of the Abruzzt, I
admiral of the battle fleet. Baron
Sidney Sonnlno, minister of foreign,
affairs, General Canevu, commander ,
of the army. .
To the Duke of the Abruzzl, well,
known to the American public be-!
cause of hia romance with Miss Kath
erlne Elkins, Italy looks to retrieve
the naval disaster on the Adriatic,
coast at Llssa In 1S86. Then Austria,
with Inferior numbers and an Ill
equipped squadron, struck Italy a
crushing blow which has left its mark
upon Italian naval prestige up to the
present day.
General Lulgl Cadorna, head of the
Italian land forces, comes of a fam
ily of soldiers. His father, General
Conte Raffaele Cadorna entered Rome
with an army in 1870 at the confisca
tion of the Papal state and the over
throws! of the temporal power of the
church. The present chief of staff
of the Italian army was then a lieu
tenant In his father's army. One
brother, Carlo, was once minister ot
war and a great advocate of the free
church. Another brother is a divi
sion general In the army today.
Conte Cadorna was born Sept 4,
1S50, at Pallanza, Lake Magglore, In
northern Italy. His mother was the
Countess Clementina Soppl, a noted
beauty of her day. At eighteen the
young Conte was a lieutenant and
later became colonel of the famous
tenth regiment of Bersaglierl Infan
try.

"Murdered" Is Verdict,
LONDON, June 2. "Murdered by
tome agent of th hostile force," was
the verdict of a coroner' Jury fol
lowing an Inquest Into the deaths ot
the two victim in the first Zeppelin
raid upon London.
The two bodies, were those of Hen
ry Good and hit wife, who died from
suffocation and burnt when an In
cendiary bomb dropped by a Zeppelin

Wireless Station Destroyed,
ROME, June 2. The Italian fleet
destroyed the Austrian wireless sta
tion on Llssa Island oft Dalmatla and
the semaphore ttatlon on the Island
of Curaolo, it was announced.
General Lulgl Cadrona is noted as
a great disciplinarian. He has writ-
ten many books on military subjects.
He wrote particularly of the Franco-
Prussian war of 1870.
Slgnor Antonio Salandra, premier
of Italy, was trained for the law
and 'has spent thirty years as an ac
tive participant In parliamentary af-
fairs. He was the leader of his par-
ty In the chamber of deputies for
many years and once served as mill-
later of finance. He was called to the
premiership In March, 1914, on the
resignation of the Giolittl cabinet.
Salandra is a great orator and
great leader. After his ascendence to
the premiership he was confronted
with many trying Internal problems.
He manoeuvered so cleverly as to sup
press the rising of socialists, and at
the same time, gain their support. He
settled the big railroad strike.
Baron Sidney Sonnino, the foreign
secretary, was once premier and Sal
andra was one of his most ardent sup
porters. Sonnino is a Jew by race, a
Protestant by faith and a native ot
Egypt Born on the banks of the
Nile of an English mother, he receiv
ed the greater part ot his education
In Great Britain. Baron Sonnlno's
paternal grandfather migrated from
the ghetto of Leghorn, Italy, to
Egypt, where he built up an enor
mous fortune as a banker.
The army will be under the direct
command of General Caneva, who fed
the Italian forces In the conquest of
Tripoli. General Caneva is the only
living "generale dell'esercito," a title
which la granted only In time of act
ual war. He won the honor by his
Tripoli campaign.

GLEN RUST FILES DIVORCE
SUIT AGAINST YOUNG WIFE
CHARGES IMMORAL CONDUCT-
ILL-FATED ROMANCE AGAIN
IN LIMELIGHT.
Another chapter In the ill-fated
romance of Glen and Cordelia Rust,
which began when they were married
on October 13, 1914, at Colfax, after
an acquaintance of a few days, was
started yesterday afternoon when the
husband filed in the circuit court a
suit for a divorce, charging his young
wife with Immoral and licentious con
duct. Toung Rust deserted his showgirl
wife a short time after their mar
riage because, It is said, ot parental
objections. She made charge of
non-support against him and, after
a sensational trial, he was convicted.
Sentence was suspended upon hi un
dertaking to provide for her. Some
months later he was cited to appear
for contempt of court, hia wife charg
ing that he was not providing for her
properly. Settlement was made by
stipulation, the husband promising to
contribute 135 per month to her.
In hit complaint he charges specif
ically that between April 1 and April
10 of this year, his wife went to
Echo and conducted herself so scan
dalously that the town marshal order
ed her to leave the town. Also he
charges that her conduct here In
Pendleton has been immoral.

Republic Cannot Longer be Tolerated.

Mexico's Population Says Note.
WASHINGTON, June 2. A demand
that the leaders of the warring fac
tions in Mexico act together and
promptly "for the relief and redemp
tion of their prostrate country," waa
made by the president today.
In an open review of the Mexican
situation the president declared the
present conditions cannot longer be
tolerated. Unless actios is taken by
the leaders, the president gave warn
ing the United States will "be con
strained to decide what means should
be employed in order to help Mexico
save herself and serve her people."
The president called attention to
the fact that more than two years of
revolutionary conditions have exist
ed in Mexico and that the country is
apparently no nearer to a solutioa of
her tragical troubles than when the
revolution was first kindled. He de
clared there Is no proper protection
for her own citizens or the citizens of
other nations and that Mexico is
starving and without a government
The president declared the citizens
of the United States wanted nothing
for themselves, but as friends and
neighbors, want to lend any aid they
properly can to bring about the estab
lishment ot a constitutional govern
ment
In conclusion the president's state
ment says: "Patriotic Mexicans are
sick at heart and cry out for peace
and for every self-sacrifice that may
be necessary to procure it. Their
East End Farmers
Favor Bonding The
County For Roads
CONNECTION SHOULD BE MADE
WITH WALLULA ROAD AT
TOUCIIET, SAYS HODGENS. j
Louis Hodgens, who is here today
from his farm near Freewater, ts a
supporter of the plan to bond the
county for good roads and says that
most of the farmers in his particular
neighborhood are favorable to the
plan. j
Howeve'r, according to Mr. Hod
gens, it will be necessary for the
bonding committee to treat the east
end of the county fairly in order to
insure the support of that section. He
says the farmers up there are awake
to the advantages to be had from a
road conencting with the Columbia
river. Mr. Hodgens' idea is that a
road should be built connecting at
Touchet with the highway from Wal
la Walla to Wallula. He believes that
by connecting at Touchet the greatest
number of people will be served. All
told he believes the east end of the
county should have 20 or 24 miles of
road.
