Owing lo tbe fart that many people were unable to rHt the school during the day Principal Gninbcc annoum"! this afternoon that the high school will ho kept open from 7:30 until II thla evening and that all tlie evIiiWr and demonstrations of the various de partments will be open to visitors. All are Invited to attend, then- being no charges Imposed. For those not closely familiar with Pendleton high school work there have been genuine revelations today In the form of the exhlbiis and dem onstrations at the school. Instead of having the exhibit down town as was done during the past few years the high school has been made use of so as to depict the work more fully. In the manual training department there Is well built furniture of the highest grade that will defy the clos est Inspection. In addition to the woodwork which has always been ex ceedingly creditable to the school and to Mr. t'hloupek, head of the depart ment, forge work Is to be seen this year and there are many products of the forge work testifying to the skill of the students In that line of effort. A fact many people are unaware ol Is that the manual training course More American Cavalry Crosses CAVihXV UtIE GOING Thla picture shows part of a four mile line of U. 8. cavalry wending its the conferences between General Scott and General Obregon at El Paso. Russians Troops Landing at Marseilles AT SCHOOL REVELATION TO VISITORS also includes much besides woodwork and forging.

The girls ure allowed to make such garments us the; desire for their own use and hence the department will give in atr UOtlon that fills a very practical need In many cases. In the agricultural department Mr. (ianibee today has been carrying on milk tests using the Bnbcock test which determines the percentage of butter fat In milk and constitutes the basis on which cream Is sold to INTO MSXICQ, ! creameries. The tests have been very , interesting to visitor?. I There is a pure food exhibit in the ! chemistry room thu" pauses astonish ment to many.

Protest Will Not be Made in Case ot liner Cymric AMERICA, HOWEVER, WILL CON SIDER UNWARNED ATTACKS AS ILLEGAL. WASHINGTON, May 10. It was strongly indicated today that America will not take action In the Cymric case. Lansing's policy heretofore has been not to protest in cases where Americans were not jeopardized. It was stated on high authority that there was no change in the situation et u was explained however, that the administration will continue to consider unwarned submarine at tacks as Illegal, according to the gov ernment's interpretation of the law. Such attacks will be considered in the cumulative evidence on the Ger man attitude toward its submarine acthrtty. Germany Will Admit Guilt in Sussex Case; Note is Now on Way to Wilson Says Gerard WASHINGTON. May 10.

If the coming mes sage does not give assurances of a LARGE FORCE ON BORDER TO HAVE DESIRED EFFECT Administration is Not Inclined to Take Any More Chances With the Attitude of Carranza. SITUATION GROWING 6RAVE Hemforcements Expected lo Stop Further Raids and May Inflmsnee Obregon to Withdraw IBs) Tlaae Limtt Demands; Washington la Not Inclined to Temporise. WASHINGTON. May 10 - The ad ministration will not cake any chance with Carranza. This is the Inner sig nificance of the move in rushing' mi litia and additional Infantry to tbe border Although officials assume that Carranza is acting in good faitb they admit that his attitude is surprising in view of his making a demand for a time limit after Wilson had inform ally approved the Sc0tt-Obregon agreement several days ago. It is believed that Carranza 'a tactics have made the situation more grave The administration had supposed that the agreement was practically effec tive. Reinforcing the border troops la ex pected to prevent further raids and to persuade Obregon to abandon the time limit demands and stop plotting on the American side of the line. Of ficials discounted the possibility of this move inflaming the Mexicans. The administration believes that the reinforcements will tend to prevent intervention. It was evident that the administration had reached a point where it is not inclined to temporise much further, but la still optimistic regarding the future. EL PASO, May It. Scott sent to Washington today the suggestion ot Obregon that Americans and Mex icans cooperate In patrolling the bor der, each remaining on their own aMie of the line. Scott and Funstoa optimistic and expect a peaceful Ing of the conference Scott held the wnlp hand la the Mexican situation today. For the first time the American troop are numerically superior to tbe Mexicans. Scott remains obdurate against fixing a time limit to the expedition. MEXICO CITT. May 10. Strong optimism toward a satisfactory out come of the Seott-ODregon confer ences was manifest today despite the indications of friction. It Is under stood that a final agreement will pro vide for the withdrawal of the Am erican troops and a Joint patrol of the International boundary. Carranza will insist that Mexican troops receive the reciprocal privilege of crossing the border in pursuit of bandits raiding Mexico from the American side.
