Out of IDS men, who took their physical examinations In llend last week, 93 were found still eligible for Class I. This Is a relatively larger number than when the first draft was made. At that time only 4 0 per cent were available, while aflur Iho sec ond set of examinations GO per cent wera not disqualified on account of physical defects. This is probably duo to tho relaxation of tho require ments. Although orders were received Sunday for tha local board to coaao examinations until revised blanks could bo sent here, tho work had al ready been completed, only strag glers from out of the county being examined yesterday. Of these six or savon still remain. Doschules county had 263 men In Class 1 when tho questionnaires had been turned In. Of these 108 wore transferred to other places for ex amination.

"I am convinced that the and of tha war Is not yet In sight and that we will travel a long hard road beforo reaching our goal. I feel certain that the strain will In crease In severity us tho months ulupse. "America must expand. She must send more troops, more ships and mora food, In short, I am convinced that we are only on the threshold of a tremendous enterprise. I am not satisfied that we have tho kind of organization or the machinery that can stand tho strain." Scoring the War Department, he said thut the lack of preparedness in America at tho opening of tho war was puthetlc and thai since then the "war machine . has been stumbling and groping at the existing tremend ous strength without knowing always what It Is doing or where It Is go ing." ' Tho shipping and transportation fa cilities, ha averred, are hopelessly Jammed and suid also that those con ditions are "the glaring results of a lack of centralized authority."

BEND SUGGESTED A3 SCHOOL SITE .'4.MMKIU'IAL ( Ll'll INVITKH IN i HI'WTION OK THIS TKRRITORY HY OKKICKR HKKKl.VO HITCA ' TION FOR AVIATION GROUNDS. '; llend as tho site for an aviation school was suggested by tho Commer cial club In a telegram sent yester day afternoop to Colonel George H. Crabtrce, of , the V. 8. Aviation Corps at Spokane, Washington. Colonel Crubtree was In Portlund last week on an official Inspection trip. A sunny place Is toeing looked for In the northwest In which an aviation school can be Installed, but Portland was found too cloudy and foggy. The officer In speaking of the prospects of Multnomah county getting the schools, said, "It Is evident that Port laud and contiguous territory cannot compete for flying schools owing to fogs and rain and a minimum of clear days. In aviation Instruction safety is tho prime requisite and Portland Is handicapped." That Bend could fill the bill is thought probable and the following telegram was sent by H. J. Overturf, through which It is hoped to Invite Inspection of .this territory: "Col. George H. Crabtree, V. S. Aviation Corps, Spokane, Washing ton: Note by recent press reports that you are seeking location of sites for training grounds and schools for United States Government Aviation Corps. Respectfully call attention to superior advantages of Sunny Bend for location of such Institutions. Cli matic conditions are ideal, having over three hundred days of sunshine per year, mild winters and practically no winds. Our facilities tare yours. Please command us. THE BEND COMMERCIAL CLUB." INSPECTOR ADVISED " CITY MAIL DELIVERY In a letter received this morning from Postal Inspector C. W. Llne baugh, he expressed his regret that the city delivery had not met the ap proval of the postal authorities. He said, "I am certainly disappointed to learn that the department has taken unfavorable action In the free deliv ery case. I had been expecting to near 'from It regarding the action which was to be taken, but had not learned anything until your letter was received. The establishment of city delivery service. In my opinion, was warranted nnd needed in order to relieve conditions In the office, in addition to providing this service for which tho patrons have striven so hard and as you are aware, its estab lishment had the most unreserved support on my part. While I knew that the one delivery day was an ob Jectlonablo feature, I did not believe that this would be sufficient to cause Iho department to act unfavorably In tho case." P.KI) CROSS TO MKKT. A regular meeting of tho execuHvo board of the Bend Red Cross will bo hold Thursday night nt 8 o'clock in Iho counly court room. A'.l officers arn urged to be present.

TAXtBLANKS TO BE FILLED OUT PKNALTV IMPOSKD FOR FA I LURK TO COMPLY WITH INSTRUC TIONS REGARDING WAR RKV K.ME FROM INCOMES. Somebody Is going to tell on you If you do not pay. your income tax. Congress has fixed It so that some body must tell, whether he wants to or not. One section of the War Income Tax Law, exhaustively comprehensive in scope, requires every person, without exception, and every corporation, partnership, association, and insur ance company. In whatever capacity acting, who paid $800 or more to an other person, corporation, partner ship, association, or Insurance com pany, as Interest, rent, salaries, wag es, premiums, annuities, compensa tion, remuneration, emoluments, or other fixed or determinable gains, profits, and income, to report the name and address of the person, cor poration, etc., Jo whom( the payment was made, together with the amount of the payment, to the Commissioner of Internal Revenue at Washington, using a form prescribed for the pur pose. Form 1099, now to be had from all collectors' offices. The form must 1e filled out and returned on or be fore March 1, 1918, accompanied by Form 1096, which Is a letter of trans mittal and affidavit certifying the ac curacy of Form 1099. Inspector Coming. To consult and advise with the cit izens of Bend and Deschutes county regarding the tax, which will soon become due and which will directly affect a large number of the resi dents of this district. Inspector James S. Hogg, of Portland, will arrive here Friday. The fact is emphasized in this con nection, that the government is pro viding this service for the conven ience of the citizens, and that it is up to all who fall under the advertised schedules to make their reports in proper shape before the time limit expires. Fine Is Penalty. Xo effort- will be made by the gov ernment to see that this work is done until after the payments fall delin quent. The fines and penalties there after attached are so substantial thut It Is very advisable to look after It on time. Single men whose Incomes are $1000 a year or more, and married men with Incomes of $2000 aro ex pected to file reports. In case of married with children there is a cer tain allowance made from each child of tho family, those with one child being exempted up to an Income of $2200, and those with two children $2400, and son on, but those are ex pected to file reports, however.

TO HOLE ALLOWED SUBSTITUTE PROVISION IN QUESTION. l-uck of Other Than White Floor la Rend Causes Change of Order Wheat Product Mny Be Purchased Straight. Unable to find a sufficient quantity of flour substitutes in Central Oregon to make It feasible to carry out the food administration program. Rev. H. C. Hartranft, chairman of this dis trict appealed for some relaxation of the rules so far as Bend and the sur rounding country Is concerned, with, the result that a modification has been made. In a communication re ceived yesterday from headquarters it is stated that where substitute cannot be bad the county adminis trator will Issue permits for the sale of flour straight, but this cannot he done without such permit. Last week igrocers were Instructed not to sell flour unless 17 pounds of substitute were purchased with ev ery 50 pounds of the wheat product. On Tuesday, January 29, there were less than 500 pounds of the former in this city. Many of the foods rec ommended by the government were not even to be found. The substi tutes included barley flour, buck wheat flour, corn flour, potato floor, rice flour, corn meat, corn starch, corn grits, hominy, oatmeal, rolled oats and rice. There is on hand a small quantity of oatmeal and a still smaller stock of buckwheat and none oi tne otners .mentioned in tne list. Potato flour, which comes in pound packages much the same as corn starch, is so high priced that it ia Im practicable to purchase it. Hard to Get Substitutes. . Rev. Hartranft experimented with, potatoes and their use mixed with, flour, finding they made a very sat isfactory substitute. When he sug gested their abundance in this conn- . .. . u n t a i !..:. . m vi j lu mo iuuu auiuiuisuuiur tur irrw- gon and asked -that they be included in the substitute list, he was met with a flat refusal. "This is hard to un derstand," said the local chairman," as the tubers are cheap and plentiful. "We face another peculiar prob lem," he went on. "The grocers here will find It hard to get substitutes, as even W. K. Newell, assistant admin istrator for Oregon intimates in a letter that the wholesale houses in Portland have no stocks sufficient to supply the great demand." Flour May Bo Shipped. To add to the confusion of the sit uation, word has been received hers (Continued on Page 3.) IVE ATTACKS AIMFJ) AT YANKKK FRONT FAIL GERMANS SEKM WILLING TO MAKE BIG SACRI FICES, TO GAIN INFORMATION". By J. W. Peglor, (United Press Stair Correspondent.) WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY. Feb. 4. (Delayed.) Crushing bar rage fire by the American artillery defeated repeated efforts to reach the American front. The Teutons seem willlnig to pay heavily in men and material for information regarding tho width and strength of the front hold by the United States troops. Repeated attempts to do this have convinced the officers that the Ger mans are apprehensive. Six attempts to rush the American poBts collapsed beforo tho Boehos wero over tholr own top. If n goneral attack was planned the Yankee gunners killed It. Periodical machine gun and gre nade encounters continue. T,he Amer ican gunners, sitting In dugouts, are now able to rush out and open a bar rago within 30 seconds after Blgnals flash. EXCEPTION H THOUGHT APPkEHENS
