LABOR OFFICIAL S BONDS 9(1,000,000 'EXPENDITURE WILL NEVER REACH CENTRAL ORE GON, OSCAR W. HORNE TELLS UNION MEN. Speaking on the proposed $6,000, 000 state road bond Issue which will be voted on June 4 at special elec tion, Oscar W. Home, state union organizer, came . out flat-footed against the measure in an address given last night In an open meeting of the Bend Trades, Labor and Farmers' council, at the Labor Tem ple. The bond Issue was the chief subject for discussion, and Secretary Harry Plerson, of the council, was authorized to secure a speaker to ap pear against State Highway Commis sioner Adams when he speaks here on May 6 in favor of the bond issue. In attacking tbe road bond issue, Mr. Home declared that the Colum bia River Highway would absorb imost of the $6,000,000 if the meas ure carried, that it any funds should happen to be left they would go for work on the Portland to Ashland road, and that Central Oregon would I be left entirely out of It. He assert !ed that $90,000,000 of the people's money would be spent, and that 40 years would elapse before the ma cadamized road system includes Bend. In substantiation of his con tention, he gave figures estimating 600 miles of road as the result of the expenditure of $6,000,000, and j 37,000 as the state's road mileage. WAR DECLARATION DELAYED BY JAPAN China's Participation With Allies Against Germany Cannot Be Halt ed for Long, Is Belief. By Ralph H. Turner, (United Pre Staff Correspondent) TOKYO, May 12. Actual partic ipation by China with the Allies In the war against Germany Is being delayed by Japan's attitude towards three proposals made by China to the Allies. This statement may be made on the authority of members ot the Constitutional opposition to the Te rauchl ministry and is based upon admissions by high Japanese of ficials. Chinese diplomats. In pressing the three proposals, are showing them selves more astute than in Bome ot their former diplomatic dealings. In that they make a declaration of war contingent upon the acceptance of these proposals. But the date ' is not far distant when the Peking government actual ly will join hands with the Entente powers and the United States In an actual state of warfare against the Teutons. Allied diplomats In Peking who have been urging China to enter the war would prefer to consider her three requests apart from the main issue of joining them in the con flict. ' China's three conditions are: A revision ot China's customs rev enues, with a general Increase, Postponement of paymont of the Boxer indemnities. Cancellation of the rule which pro hibits Chinese soldiers entering for eign concession at Tlontsln. Crowd Htands Almost Hilont as Port ing Comes Mothers and Hwoet heartM Weep Kisses (Jen erously Given. Three thousand of the people of Bend turned out last night to honor nearly 50 Central Oregon lads, most of them from this city, who left to take service In the army and navy. A parade of marchers In close forma tion, led by the Odd Fellows and the Bend band, was followed by an auto section, the whole stretching over seven blocks. At least two thirds of those who gathered at the stations, however, were not in the line of march, arriving at the train before the paraders. The Bend Rifles marched from their drill grounds to tbe tracks shortly after the main pa rade broke up. BUence Marks Parting. So dense was the crowd packed about the depot that many were un able to say goodbye to more than a very few of the boys, and it was after scheduled time when the Ore gon Trunk train, with the special army and navy car, finally pulled out. It was not a boisterous, nor a demonstrative crowd. There were too many mothers and fathers and sweethearts who were making their supreme sacrifice, to make noisy .patriotism in keeping with tbe oc casion. A few women and girls broke down utterly under the strain, and sobbed as the last farewell was said. Others came through the or deal dry-eyed, but it was a solemn throng which returned to the city. In the last quarter ot an hour be fore the train left, girls clustered about the rear platform of the sta- tion, some with tears, some with smiles, and many with kisses for the j boys who were leaving. Three of the recruits were kissed in, rapid-tire or 'fler by one young woman, who ap I parently' wished nobody to be slighted. Many Take Train. A list of the boys who made the' trip last night is as follows: Navy W. E. Henderson, M. J. Pacoell, D. A. Ames, L. J. Clements, R. W. Harvey, J. D. Stevens, R. W. jLukens, H. McKenzie, M. L.
