Congressman Tavenner Says Billions
Spent Yet Nation Unprepared
For Warfare.
GOVERNMENT WORK THE CUBE
Chaos Among Ammunition M alien at
This Tliuo Urged as Argument for
Government Operation of Factories
No supplies Would bo Shipped
Abroad.
WASHINGTON. July 23 A gov
ernment monopoly of the manufacture
of munitions Is advocated by Congress
man Clyde Tavenner If Illinois. He
declares that despite the fact a quar
ter of a billion dollars la being spent
annually upon the army and navy the
country Is not prepared for war. "The
strained relations with Germany and
the chaos among munition workers
would not exist if the government had
a monopoly of munition manufac
ture," suld Tavenner. "Primarily the
submarine warfare Is intended to pre
vent shipments of munitions from
reaching the allies. If the govern
ment had a monopoly there would be
no exportation."
Tavenner said that four firms dur
Ing the last seventeen years have re
ceived munition contracts for one
hundred and seventy five million, be
lng paid from twenty to sixty per cent
more than munitions could have been
manufactured for at government ar
senals.
AUTO TOURISTS PASSU
THROUGH PENDLETON DAILY
As predicted a year ago, the Panama-Pacific
exposition la adding ma
terially to the number of transient
visitors In Pendleton this summer. It
doesn't need the figures of local ita
rages to prove that there are many
more auto parties passing through the
city this year than last. Anyone who
is on the street at all can testify to
that fact.
The number of auto tourists Is
steadily Increasing as the eummet
lengthens. Some estimates have it
that an average of IS cars a day pass
through Pendleton en route to Sin
Francisco, whereas last year there
were only about six strange cars a
day through the city.
Pendleton hotelmen have had their
business Increased by this travel out
they expect the month of August to
bring a bigger Increase yet. The train
passing through the city are show
ing a greater travel, too, as the sum
mer grows older.

PETROGRAD, July 23. The great battle for possession of
Warsaw has entered a decisive stage. South of the Vistula the
Russians have withdrawn to strongly fortified positions extend
ing from Novo Georgievsk to Ivangorod, fifty miles to the south
west. Along this Jine the Slavs have checked the forward rush
of the enemy, inflicting heavy losses. To the north of Warsaw
the forces of Von Hindenburg are being held along the Narew
river. The roar of guns thirteen miles away is plainly heard in
Warsaw. The belief persists in Petrograd that Warsaw cannot
be captured.
Prayers for a victory in the conflict were said throughout
Russia yesterday. Despite their heavy bombardment the Ger
mans are unable to penetrate the outer defenses to the west
of Warsaw near Blonie. For two days shells have poured
against the redoubts perfected by the Slavs during the winter.
No serious damage was done by the bombardment, it is de
clared. At a minimum expenditure of lives the Russian infant
ry has been successful in repulsing every assault and with the
results of the past forty eight hours' fighting officials are con
fident the west approaches to the city cannot be taken by storm.
The Narew river line is being strongly held by the Russians.
Russians Are Hopeful.

TKItDAY PORTLAND MKX
TO III-XP WITH COIX.
Feeling that A .Phlmlster Proctor's
latest piece of sculpture, "The Buck
aroo,'1 Is an artistic embodiment ot
the spirit of the RounS-up, a number
of prominent Portland people are ea
ger to see this city take up a move
to have the figure cast In bronte and
set up on the O.-W. R. & N. lawn, ac
cording to W. L. Thompson, president
of the American National Bank, who
was In Portland yesterday and dis
cussed the matter with these people.
They stand ready to subscribe to any
fund started for this purpose, Mr.
Thompson states.
Mr. Thompson had luncheon with
C. S. Jackson, publisher of the Jour
nnl, J. Ci. Edwards, prominent stock
man, Mr. Proctor and other boosters
of the Round-up and these men mads
the suggestion to the sculptor. Cast
In bronze in heroic size, he told them
the piece would cost approximately
110,000, for materials and work. He
told them, further, that he did not
seek a profit for himself out of such
a sale because of his own love for
the Round-up.
Mr. Proctor conceived his "Buck
aroo" at the last Round-up, used a
Round-up buckaroo, "Bill' Ridings
as a model, studied many pictures ta
ken at the Round-up for their action
and wrought his model In this city,
the home of the Round-up. Mr.
Thompson and many others feel,
therefore, that the piece of stauary
belongs properly to Pendleton and
thut Pendleton should start a move
ment to purchase it. Not only will
Portland boosters of the Round-up
contribute to a general fund but It Is
thought the O.-W. R. & N. would
gladly assist.
