There is j evidence, however, that some thing new in the way of allied j warfare is to happen soon, i What it will be is not disclosed but there are many who believe that the stroke, whatever it may be, will include the American forces. General Pershing has an army or a million men or i more readv for the foe. It is irvnlv n a fiiru 1 tn ontifinoto fViot this force will be made use of before the winter weather puts an end to fighting on a big scale. The biggest and most hilari ous war news ot the summer may soon be forthcoming. After we have had it people will be better able to judge how long the war may continue. THE FOURTH LIBERTY LOAN SOMETHING IS COMING Jf2 ANY are asking if he 3"Tl present fighting may not end the war before another year is over. .It is too HE campaign for' the Fourth Liberty Loan be gins September 28 and closes October 19. -While the amount has not yet been an nounced, it is generally con ceded it will be for a larger amount than any of the pre ceding loans. The American people, therefore are called up on to raise a larger sum of money in a shorter length of time than ever before. There is need, therefore, for prompt action prompt and efficient work and prompt and liberal subscriptions. We have a great inspiration for a great effort. The news from the battle front inspires every American heart, not only with pride and patriotism but with a great incentive to do his ingj no shifting of the individu or hv part. There is no shirk al burden, no selfishness by American soldiers in France; there should be none here A Berlin report says It !s rumored that the Germans are planning a great retreat to the line, of the Meuse in France and Belgium. It sounds too good to he true, but you ran't tell what Marshal Poch has up his sleeve. The shaded portion' of the map shows the va.it expanse of French and Belgian soil the Germans held west ot the Meuse before the la-st allied smash. Foch has already forced them b ack for a good start on this retreat retreat the thing the allies are flgh ting for. are both supporting the same .make a proper showing, country and the same cause I In Professor Breach the city our army in one way, ourselves j has a' director who if given in another.

GET A BAND Go ahead, professor, and town will do its part. the ENDLETON never needed JiJ a band more than at the present time and never before was so hard pressed for material. The absence of mu sic at the departure of the draft boys today took much of the pep out of the occasion. Yet no one can complain at the bandmen. They have turned out generolsly on many occasi ons this year, giving their ser vice free, and they stopped only because they were unable We to muster strength enough to W Isijf" Now in Pendleton We have secured the agency of the Chalmers Automobile for Umatilla County. The Chalmers appealed to us above all others because of its sturdy qualities. It gives the buy er the utmost in genuine economy. Chalmers performance is proven. On the Speedway, in traf fic, on the open road and in the hands of thousands of enthusiastic owners, the Chalmers has conclu sively demonstrated its dependability.

ECONOMY IN OIL, GAS AND WATER. This calls for a grind of 382 miles of boulevard, desert and mountain roads, and, making it more exacting, the elevations vary from near sea level to those of the passes in the high Sierra. The Standard Oil Bulletin, an impartial publication says: "The sec ond day's run, 119.6 miles, from Fresno to Camp Curry, Yosemite Nati onal Park, was the acid test of motor efficiency and economy, for only about 20 miles of the distance was over paved road. The remainder was rough country going and then climbing serpentine, chuck-hole dotted mountain grades. The hills and rarified atmosphere took toll of the gaso-. line supply, and when the machines were checked in at. the finish, some of whose glaringly fine scores announced at Fresno, had been punctured." "Considering the speed maintained, grades climbed and the heat of valley and desert, the miles per gallon column offers some amazing facts." , Stephens Six (winning car).. ..21.5 miles per gal.
