There yet remain a number of po

to those that have contributed all
these should be Interviewed and

Twenty Five Per Cent of Re

Tuesday begins 'Joy week' In Pen

the ftrt of the circus parade the sec
ond day of the vjpek, It will be play
time In the city '
There will be something- doing; ev
ery afternoon and evening and on
Tuesday there will be penty doing; all
day.
Arrangements have been completed
by the Pendleton company, of th
Umatilla County Ouard lo tiring; here,
for an entire week, the carnival com
pany which played for four days In
the city last year for the benefit of,
the Honor Ouard Girls.
The purpose to which, the funds ac
quired by the giard company will be
devoted Is the purchase of uniforms
for its 70 members. In nearly every
other county In the state the local
military organizations - have been
equipped with uniforms and outfit
ted at the'eipense of the city, county
or state.
Xtrt so with the Pendleton men.
Already the company has acquired
and Is paying for It own quarter,
and has offered their use to the pla
toon of state police which may be
quartered here this summer. It has
leen furnished guns without expense
to the city or the county and now !t
proposes to earn the money with
which it may be able to purchase uni
forms with which it oan make a cred
itable showing; beside any military or.
ganlxation in the country outside the
regular forces.'' -'- --
It will be possible to do this under
the arrangements which have been
made with the carnival compatry with
the support of the people of the city.
The government is permitting; a cer
tain number of carnivals and circuses
to operate even during; the war. un
doubtedly in the belief that all work
and no play Is not a good thing for
any people. This is the reason the
company has been able to secure the
appearance of the carnival compan
here. I'nder the agreement which ha
been made, the company will have 25
per cnt of the gross receipts of the
business In Pendleton. This t is be
lieved, will pay a laree part of the
expense which the purchase of unl
formswill entail.
The company played here a year
ago to good business. It has had a
cuccessful season this year so far.
There will be all sorts of amusements
something alike for young and old.
'or man, women and children.
We're out for fun. Just to make a

ITDIXBURG, May 24. 'The next

Oeorge declared in a speech her to
day.
"The Germans are straining every
muscle to reach their goal before

This is no time to organize cam
paign to harrass men In charge of
the destinies of nation. . There
should be a truce in such campaign.
at least until the offensive la over.
I can honestly say the British gov
ernment has neglected no poeaioe
mean of ascertaining whether there
is any honorable outlet from . war.
We are dealing with ruthless Prus
sian despotism which 1 out for plunJ
der and pillage. Their latest treaties
restrain Germany as little today as
when they invaded Belgium. Tho
submarine still 1 a menace but I no .
longer a peril. It cannot determine
the war's result-" .
The premier said the allies are
building ships faster than submarines
can sink them, while allied navies
are sinking submarines faster than
Germany is rebuilding them. He
said the admiralty report showed s
record of destruction of submarines
established In April, while In the
same month the shipping output ex
ceeded the loases for the first tims
since tmresfrtrtwl " etitaOEHnlns; : was
begun. 1
Llbyd-Qeorge declared the allied
sailors have pursued submarines re
lentlessly day and night until the
"pest has been conquered." Also
they have harried the submarine
r.ests until two. Ostend and Zee-
burgge. are blocked.
"The Germans recognize the fail
ure of submarine warfare and there
fore are conducting the offeniv on
the western front. They were driv
en Into It as a last resort for victory.
The premier said America' en
trance has not yet equalised Russia's
collapse. America's Intervention has
given the allies only about a fifth of
the number of men Germany was able
to add to their western lines through
withdrawals from the eastern front.
"But on the eve of a great Ger
man attack those best acquainted
with the prospects are the most con
fident of the results. General Foch
Is one of the most brilliant strategists
of the age. He is a man of dynamlo
energy and profound knowledge and
experience, commanding respect, ad
miration, confidence and affection of
all allied soldiers-
"We tried repeatedly to achieve
this command unity. It 1 really In
credible we were compelled to fight

this unity which has added mightily "
to our fighting strength.
