ROUND-UP NEVER TO
LEAVE PENDLETON IS
OFFEK TO HAVE EVENT HEI'llO
JH'CED AT PANAMA FAIR
IS REFISEW,
Not only will the Hound-up not b
vtnged at the San Francisco expo
sition In October but It will never be
stngt d any place but Pendleton a
long as the present board of directors
Is In control. This was the unanl
twous decision reached yesterday
evening at a special meeting of the
directorate.
A telegram waa sent to the expo
altlon official courteously declining
the flattering offer made to repro
duce the frontier exhibition there
and expressing appreciation of the
tribute paid the Round-up by the of
fer. The Impossibility of transplanting
the spirit of the Round-up, the gi
gantic task nn attempt to put on the
Ehow In San Francisco would Impose
upon the directors, an Inherent
Jealousy of the Pendleton show and
a desire to keep It free from the con
tamination of commercialism conf
bined to form an Insurmountable ob
jection to accepting the generous of
fer of the exposition people.
It was also felt that an acceptance
of the San Francisco offer would be
an injustice to Portland In view of
the fact that the Oregon metropolis
has siaveral times In the past sug
gested the Idea of duplicating the
show there. If any attempt Is to be
made to stage the show In any other
city than that of the Round-up's na
tivity. Portland Is entitled to the pre
ference because of her loyalty to and
patronage of the show, In the opinion
, of the directors.
. "The Round-up for Pendleton and
Pendleton for the Round-up," sums
up In a slognnly way the attitude o!
the directors.

LONDON, Sept. 2. Political au

Germany's yielding to the demands
of the United States submarine con

fect upon the negotiations respecting
the British order-in-councll. No
comment came from the foreign of
fice or other government depart

that if Great Britain makes conces
sions It will be because the foreign
office recognizes the merits of the
American arguments regarding In
terference with neutral commerce,
rather than because Germany has
modified her submarine warfare. The
British press took the view that

able rights to Jews of all nations.
It was with the obiect of nnonlno-
the way and iecuring the cooperation
of the United States toward peace
that Germany has acceded to Ameri
ca's interpretation of International
law and accepted the terms laid down
by the president under which the
kaiser's submarine warfare should
be conducted. Thin statement of
Germany's attitude and the primary
f.Dject of tne memorandum presented
d; Ambassador von Bernstorff Yes
terday was made to the United
Press today. The statement, em
anating from the German rmhuiiv.
came from an authoritative, though
unofficial, source. Germanv believes
she has a common cause with tha
United States In the strucclA for
freedom of the seas. Six months ago
peace might have been obtained by
the allies granting- to Germany this
single right for which the imperial
government maintains it is fighting.
Sim then, however, Poland has
been conquered, and wtth the Rus
sians driven from the ancient king
dom, the provisions of Polish free
dom is added to Germany's terms of
peace.
Continuing, the informant of the
United Press said the allies must an
swer to civilization not only for th
inception of the war but for each
hour's continuance of the conflict. A
year from now peace may be possible
only through greater concessions
from the allied powers, as Germany's
victories will have mounted, the In
formant declared. It was reiterated
that Germany never wasted war, and
that the imperial government Is, and
has been, willing at any hour since
August last to make advances toward
nn honorable peace.
The settlement of the principle at
issue between Germany and the
United States In the submarine ques
tion is regarded as of secondary Im
portance In the presentation of the
note to the state department yester
day it was stated.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 2. Cardinal
Gibbons discussed the question of
! Peace with the president at the white
I house today. The cardinal declined
! to give out details, but admitted ha
had received a message from the
Pope. Following the interview with
th president he said the object of
his visit was a disculon of peace.
The cardinal expressed to the presi
dent his gratification over the peace
ful and satisfactory rnnolusion of the
