DOWNPOUR SCATTERS ACTORS, BALLY-HOS, CROWD TO SHELTER; FULL BLAST SHOW TONIGHT The heavy downpour of rain last evening brought a sudden end to the medley of entertainment at the open in( night of the llernhardl carnival, which Is here for a week under the auspices of the ' local companies of the Umatilla County Guard. In spite of the threatening skies and sprinkles of rain early In the evening a good many people followed the band boys to the carnival ground and for an hour there was plenty do lug on the midway. When the clouds opened bp. however, and emptied a veritable deluge actors, ball.v-ho men and the crowd alike hurried to shel ter and the festivities were brought to a sudden end. However, the taste of the enter talnment served last evening; will un doubtedly bring; out a largo crowd this evenlna and the show people promise to make up for lost time. The Hernhnrrtl carnival Is fully as 'large as the Wortham Shown which were here last yesr. The tents and booths of the various shows and eon ceFtlons occupy the larger pait of the block on East EHa street.

The proportion of boys taken In fe cent hauls indicates that practically all that class has teen sent to the front. Keliablc reports from Switzerland as sert that a recent conference at main headquarters between the Kaiser and Emperor was concerned chiefly with the manpower crisis resulting from the turn of affulrs nt the west front.

Germans emphasized that tho war will be won or lost on the "western front, with Austria benteh simultane ously with Germany If the latter is defeated. Austria's government news papers already are preparing the pub lic for the shock, complaining that closer military union with Germany is necessitated with the change. The National Zeitung warns the Emperor asainst allowing the kaiser to use the Austrian army, saying. "Woe unto Kari if he allows himself to be bullied Into sending Austrians into the shambles. It will chain his destiny to Ludendorff and seal the fate of him self and people forever." From Vienna it is reported that Karl is worried and doubtful whether people and army will submit tamely to German demands.

Vil lages, Woods and Commanding Heights Fall Into Allied Hands- (John De Gandt.) PARIS, Aug. 20. -General Mangin's army attacking on a wide front between the Oise and Aisne this morning is driving a big wedge deep into the most vital point on the west front. German positions on the southern edge of the Picardy front and wrestern edge of the Soissons Rheims front are in danger of being outflanked. The enemy is forced to withdraw his heavy artillery beyond Noyon says newspapers. German positions in the Noyon region are expected to fall today.

E. Gornall.) The local Methodist church will be the scene of the largest annual min isterial gathering in the -'Northwest from September 3-9. Pendleton is coming to be the con vention center of Eastern Oregon, but this convention is thus far its hie 1 Pest. Ppndtdnn snirit rniixt Tfrri! itself in entertaining these visitors, who hail from practically every city and hamlet In Northern Idaho, East ern Washington and Eastern and Cen tral Oregon. During the past two years the local church has expended upwards of $10, t0o in repairs and improvements. In so doing It has not solicited a penny from out A de sou rces. We are not only willing, but eager, to carry our every burden ourselves. In this convention, however, the obligation becomes a community one, and we urge that the homes of the city be opened. Thus far the commit tees have only secured one-half the i necessary tangible hospitality. All that is aked is bed and breakfast , for a class of men who are the easiest in the world to entertain. I1 hone to ; Fred E. Schmidt or the pastor that ! ou will assist. How many places of ! business will assume the obligation '. oi entertaining one or two of these men- Anticipatory thanks. The con fere tsce brings prominent Ieakers from New York City, Phila delphia. Chicago and Washington. D. - C. and Pendleton is assured of an informing upifiiug season during these sessions.
