has seen him, with utter disre- gard of the sanctity of life and the fortune of his empire, rush with mad fury into a conflict that astounds, shocks and fair fly staggers civilization.
 Is the emperor crazy?
 It would be easy to set him down, were it not for the fact that the great people, whose ov- erlord he is, are as frenzied in this matter as he.
 Within week he has arrayed himself practically against the world.
 And this, not at a time when England and France and Russia and Belgium and the others are unprepared for war, but at a time when they are in the high est state of military prepared ness, presumably. With his, mighty legions at his back, he has defied them all.
 And at what a cost!
 Aside from the hundreds upon hundreds of thousands of hu- man lives that must be sacrific- ed upon. the incarnadined fields of Europe, aside from from the suffering that must come to all, the possibilities of mathematics will be strained to total the cost in money. Billions upon bill ions of wealth will go irrevocably ito utter waste, and all the arts and trades must decay, while human beings are thus defying God and slaughtering one an- |other.
 Think of iti This is not the |age of barbarism, and the par |ticipating peoples are not of the type that followed Aloric and Attila and murdered in the name of war because they were ignorant and loved blood. The nations are all enlightened and the spires of their churches point to a Christ who left upon earth command to peace. The refining influences obtain, and prosperity, which should be home protective and quarrel de- flying, abounds in them all.
 Yet here they are, all ready to utilize every resource that educated human ingenuity has devised and can devise to de- stroy to extermination.
 Not one will emerge except in a condition of desolation and des- titution, impoverished in wealth, in morals and almost in hope.-- Memphis News Scimitar.

The German Emperor.


 The German Emperor.
 Twenty-six years ago a young man, he ascended the dais of kingIy power.
 There were giants in those days.
 The great William, first en1- peror of the consolidated fed- eration, had only a few months before passed away.
 Bismarck, the constructive ge- nius of affairs, and Won Moltke, who had led the Teuton hosts into Paris and there dictated terms of peace to a people who had known the glories of Napo- leonic successes, were still a. live.
 From that day to this the fierce light that beats upon thrones has kept him before the world.
 It was feared that his first act would be to enbroil Europe in war. A militarist by nature, instinct and education, a believ- CT in the divine right to his su- zerainty, fiery and domineering, war seemed to be the element that he would choose upon which to build a career.
 He early served notice by the summary dismissal of Bismarck that he would share power with no one; that he, and he alone, would be Germany's master.
 Then he began to construct the greatest war machine the world has ever seen. His empire has been an arm- ed camp, and it's soil a field for the most gigantic military man. euvers.
 In these latter years he has
 
 supplemented this tremendous destructive force with a navy second only to that of his in- sular rivals across the North channel.
 Yet throughout these years to the present time he had never fired a gun save in peace, nor burned pound of powder save in display.
 All the while, too, he has de- veloped and shown strength and greatness along other and wor- thler lines.
 He has advanced education a. mong his people until in enlight- enment they rank with the fore most of civilization.
 He has encouraged commerce and the arts. and in every direc- tion builded for his empires greater prosperity.
 He has been a patron of let ters and music, and in the field of diplomacy and statecraft has won the respect of the world.
 On more than a few occasions he has used his strength foi peace among the nations. Wear ing all the panoply of a war lort and uttering sounding sentence to his hosts from the Olympu of his Martian autocracy, he ha done more probably than ar other potentate of his age prevent war. The plume to h helmet has been a twig fro the olive tree.

NATURE HELPS KAISER.
Marshes and Thickets Check Rus
sian Army Advances

LONDON, Aug. 29.-The st. Pc
tersburg correspondent of the Post, in
describing the operations in East
Prussia. tells of the difficulties which
nature has placed in the way of the
Russian advance and says the Ger
mans enormously multiplied these
difficulties by modern adaptation Of
age-old methods.
Thickets and marshes were sown
with rifle pits and wherever practi-
cable, redoubts of felled timber were
placed. Everywhere there were for
midable wire entanglements
I'VE have no exact information of
how many army corps Germany has
left to oppose the Russian advance" ("
he says. Perhaps there were seven
and possibly only five. Whatever
their number three are retreating un-
der cover of the fortress of Koenigs-
berg and one is in full flight on os-
terode.
"All four in retreat flung away
their food.
THE Russian amies by forced
marches have driven a wedge be-
tween the German forces. So demor-
alizing was the Russian commanders
strateby that the German forces
abandoned their interenched position
on the Angerapp without a fight"

Bank Conference Called

WASHINGTON, Aug 29.-A con-
ference between bankers of the IL
reserve cities and other business CEN
ters and the federal reserve board,
which may result in an immediate
announcement Of the time for the
opening Of the new banking system,

ber 4.

of the board is that the conference
will lead to a thorough understand
ing between the bankers and the
goernment and result in cooperation
in the taking Of the remaining steps
before the new system can be launch
ed. The board will try to be in a po-
sition to lay before the bankers a def
mite program Of what, If any, minor
changes it expects to see made In the
new currency act. and how soon II
has decided the new system should be
opened for business.

NEWS OF FARM AND RANGE
BLUESTEM SELLS
HERE At PRICE
OF S1.04 PER BU

With bluestem selling as high as
$1.04 in the local market and other
sales at 81 and better the Pendleton
wheat pit has come to the front under
full speed today. The top price of
S1.04 was paid by the Pendleton
Roller Mills to John Blancett for
1900 sacks of bluestem to be deliv-
cred at Pilot Rock and Yoakum.
Last evening and today Will Moore,
representative of the Pacific Coast
Elevator. Co, purchased $500 sacks of
bluestem at price Of 81. One of
those selling to Mr. Moore was VIC
tor Roumagoux, who farms south Of
Pendleton.
All the bluestem sold here is for
milling purposes. The price shows in
striking manner the wide spread
between bluestem and club, due to
the now well known fact there is a
great scarcity of bluestem.
In the local market there has been
no activity in club today and 81
cents is the highest price paid, ac-
cording TO the best information OBJ
tainable. This was paid by one OF the
local mills. A report was current to-
day that a mill here was paying IS
cents for club but the report is Wig
orously denied. Most of the buying
representatives are quoting So cents
as tojay's price. Yesterday promi-
nent Holdman farmer was offered S5
cents for club in Walla Walla but as
the Washington prices are (. o. b.
that quotation Is but equal to a price
of SO l-2 cents in this county.
