"The Germans are kill ing peaceful citizens In upper Silesia," Yorfantl asserted. "Travelers from that district told me 16 persons were executed at Gleiwitz In one day with out trial.

Yorfantl asserted seven workers were killed at Myslowltz while await ing their pay, that peaceful citizens also were murdered at Hales, being or dered to raise hands, then shot. He claimed a woman was shot in the back while searching for her hus band.

ASTOR1UA, Aug. 22. Announce ment that the Pacific fleet will be in the Columbia river on September 7, was highly pleasing to Astoria, as the date of the proposed visit as fixed Francisco, at which time the for the visit to the North Pacific ports will be definitely made. The latest Goedetic survey shows an unobstructed channel of 30 feet at tary Daniels to bring the entire, fleet to the Columbia river. Conclusive proof that this harbor will accommo date any fhips which can enter the Golden Gate, will be furnished both officials during their visit to San I new Women's biuldin sity. Harold J, Warner was chosen presi dent by those In attendance. R. S. Jerard was elected vice president. Miss Claire Haley secretary and Merle It. Chessman treasurer. Miss Mary Johns heads a committee which is di recting' arrangements. It is probable that the organization formed last evening will continue actively at work for the new building after the lecture has been, given. At present, however, it will lend all its energies toward making- the meeting a big success. ILieut.

Aug. 22. Reports that President Wilson has abandoned his plan to tour the country are denied at the White House. -although it is ad mitted the plan is still Indefinite. De velopments have not encouraged the belief the president will be able to get the treaty and league covenant ratified without an appeal direct to the peo ple, it Is pointed out by Wilson's sup porters. The White House conference apparently has changed no senator's attitude toward the treaty, although Jthe administration supporters still are plans l confident the result will h fn h treaty's benefit. j The senate foreign relations com mittee has decided to proceed with ; hearings that will delay the treaty, de spite Wilsons declaration the coun try cannot get hack to normal before the pact Is ratified. This argument that normal conditions and lower (prices await peace is rVgarded as the one the president is most likely to stress if ho makes the proposed tour. 22. Fires hrej are unchecked.

CHANGES MADE IN OF SELLING ARMY PLAN FOOD rofltmnflter Tweedy has just receiv ed a teleffrum from the postoffico de partment, stating that the war depart ment had changed Its plan of distrib utingr surplus food supplies for two days only, and has allowed the city of rendleton the following number of articles, which will he available until tho allowance is exhausted. The In structions also states that Ihft war de partment has agreed to pay all excess parcel post charges above one cent per pound from San Francisco to rendle ton. This was done in order that all sections of the country would be treated alike, malilnfr the prices ex actly the same all over the United States. This plan mokes food supplies In rendelton very low and orders will be filled in rotation as they are re ceived. Order blanks can be had it the postoffico, whirh will be filled in by the purchaser, who will deposit the money to cover the order at the time it Is given to the postmaster. The war department will not ship iess than one case of ench article, and It Is better for several neighbors to place their orders together so that full cases can be ordered, which makes the articles cheaper. While, a person is not purohibited from ordering less than a case of goods, his order Is held nt the postoffico intil enough other orders have been received to make up tho full case before the order can be Bent to tho supply depot. It will be much faster and more satisfactory to the postofflce if two or more families will split a case of goods between them, using one order blank for the shipment. Pendleton has been allotted the fol lowing articles at the new prices quot ed: 607 12 pound cans of bacon, 6 to case, $4.34 can, $26.01 case. 1678 No 1 cans corned beef, 4 8 to case, 31c can, $14.64 case. 1S9B No. 2 cans corned beef, 24 to case. 68c can, $1,1.92 case. 204 6 lb. cans corned beef, 12 to case, $1.83 can, $21.93 case. 124 2 No. 1 cans roast beef, 4S to case, 30c can, $14.11 case. 1380 No. 2 cans roast beef, 24 to case, 67c can, $15.88 case. 120 6 Ib. cans roast beef, 12 to case, $1.98 can, $23.7.1 case. 924 l ib. cans hash cornbeef, 4 8 to case. 24c can, $11.23 case. 9122 lb. cans hash cornbeef, 24 to case, 40c can. $9.66 cae. 1092 No. 1 cans baked beans, 48 to case. 6c can, $2.59 case. 12 No. 2 cans baked beans, 24 to case, 10c can, $2.19 case. 1752, No. 3 cans baked beans, 24 to case, 1,1c can, $2.91 case. 246 No. 2 cans string beans, 24 to case. 12c can, $2.71 case. , 2268 No. 2 cans sweet corn case, 12c can, $2.77 case. 1700 100 bags dry beans, bag. 84 Small cans cherries, 24 to case, 24c can, $5.72 case. 11.12100 lb. bans flour.
