J E. Snyder of the PI rot Prwbytoftan church Hev. Snyder WSJ once a cowboy himself and the Pendleton ahnW had a great appeal In him. Considering the nature of the entertainment and the TMtlim of the crowd ttathered here, he found the city remarkably free from roughness nnd rowdyism. He did. however. strongly condemn the saloon nnd altio certain dance halls, nnd, relative to the ranee halli which, he raid, are conducted here through the whole yenr In the same manner, he declared that If they did riot change aoon, he would "blow them To hell from the pulpit." Relative to the Hound-up, he said In pari "I have seen my first Round-up In I'endleton and 1 have aeen It all. 1 was at the Hound-up even day and nl Happy I'nnyon every night I con fess that I was carried back in my memory l" etflj boyhood when I was a cowboy on the prairies of Kansas. I have seen many wild west shows and nttended many a round-up but I never saw a better one than 1 saw in I'endleton. II was a great show from every angle It was great In Its Im mensity. Its bigness waa appalling. I doubt if it could be reproduced nil) w here else In the I'tilted States The spectacular Indian parade was the rnoel WOttdtrfUl thing I ever saw. It was distinctively local. The Indi ans were our Indians, the horses and cattle were ours. They belong to our plains and our hills It was great In Its genuineness. It was real. The rowings and cowgirls were real cow l s and cowgirls. They had their training on the plains and not In the arena of the circus, It was great In Its management. I want to say this In all sincerity that the management 01 the Hound-up are deserving of gnat credit I expected to see a rough town. I expected to see the cowboys riding Into the saloons and shooting up the town in the good old fashioned way. I expected to aee a lot of skin games anil street fakirs, tin horn gamblers and a great deal of rowdyism. All theae things were conspicuously ab sent There waa no attempt made to kim the people's money but everyone aecmed to be doing their best to make the other fellow have a good time. A prominent man from Chicago said to roe "1 epeced to aee a hold-up ns well as a Itound.up. but I was agree ably surprised to see the complete ab sence of the commercial spirit during the show."

A German submarine has sunk several French and Kngllsh steamers and a Russian vessel In the Mediterranean, accord ing to Spanish papers received here. From every standpoint the 191 f Hound-up was an unqualified suc cess. A larger crowd than saw the 1 f 1 4 show was here, the receipts were considerably more than the disburse ments, perfect weather prevailed and an exhibition as good a.s any Hound up ever held was put on. The visitors were not only satisfied. They were enthusiastically so. and will' become the best advertisement Pendleton and the Kound-up can have. The paid admissions this year were five thousand more than in 1914, ac cording to Vice-President It. W. Rit rer. An actual check has not yet been made but enough of a check has been made to fix the Increase conservatively at 5000. No financial statement can be made at this time as the bills have not all come In but. inasmuch as the attendance was lare er and every director used the utmost care and economy in superintending his department, the directors believe there will be a good balance with which to start on the building of the 111 show.

LONDON, Sept. 27. The tide of war was turned in favor of the allies on every front. The greatest artillery battle in his tory is blowing sections of the German trenches on the Franco Flanders front to bits. The Allies' drive is smashing toward the railways by means of which the Teutons hold BeJgium and northern France. The German losses since Saturday are be lieved to exceed 100,000. The Russians also have halted the Germans. Von Hinden burg has been repulsed at Dvinsk and Riga and along two thirds of the front the Russians are on the offensive. ITALY IS MAKING CAINS. Italy claims fresh successes against the Austrians. The Ser bians are holding up the Teuton advance in the Balkans. More significant, however, Bulgaria is hesitating to dash into the war, supposedly on the German side, according to Athens dispatch es, while the allies are gaining fresh victories. The battle from Arras to the sea and in the Champagne sec tion raged uninterruptedly. Thousands of dead and wounded are smothered in the burning ruins of Souchez. Other thous ands of dead lie on the slopes of hill 70 which has been cap tared by the British. The trenches the French have captured in the Argonne region are choked with bodies. Reinforce ments are being rushed by the Germans through Belguim to Lens. BRITISH ENTRENCH ON HILL 70 Bitter fighting for hill 70 is raging, for this position domi nates Lens, two miles away. Two days hammering marked the struggle before the British stormed the hill. In the face of a withering fire they are digging themselves into the summit, preparing to meet the Teutonic counter attacks. About Loos, where the Germans admitted a reverse, they are now dealing heavy counter attacks. The fields west of Utile, the brickyards west of La Basse and the rolling plains north of Arras are being swept by a fire of shrapnel, machine guns and rifles. It is believed the 15 mile advance in fhe Champagne region is a preliminary to a violent smash to force the German crown prince out of his positions before Verdun. Joffre is aiming at the Retancourt railway, behind the German lines. PAKIS. Sept. 27. The French for ces have occupied several more po sitions in a furious batde raging on the Champagne front.
