FRENCH YELLOW BOOK
BLAMES THE TEUToNS

PARIS. Dec. 2.-The French for
eign office gave out a yellow Book"
which recites the French viewpoint
OF events which led up 10 the present
war.
This book reviews at length the Dip
lomatic exchanges before the declar-
alton OF war. An abstract given out
by the foreign office lays emphasis
upon the responsibilities OF Austria as
primal cause of the conflict and says
that Germany persistently avoided
every opportunity to adopt measures
OF Cancellation and reach a settle
ment
In its presentation of the case the
French foreign office places the re-
sponsibility fully upon Austria and
Germany and relates that Great Bri-
tain, Russia and France were ready
to adopt means OF settlement. but
that the Teutonic allies would not
consent.
Germany's ultimatum to Russia is
said to have precipitated the rupture.
France, according to the book. ex-
haused every possible avenue of con-
ciliation before she decided to draw
the sword to defend her very life.

should one be secured by Umatilla

state leader in this extension work.
who is here today for the purpose Of
consulting with the county court up
on the subject. According to Mr..
French the subject OF the percentage
of gluten in wheat Is becoming
more and more of importance and It
is recognized there is less gluten in
eastern Oregon wheat than formerly.
The government has established q
station in Portland for the purpose OF
testing wheat for its contents and
the time is coming when the price OF
wheat will be based on the percent
age of gluten. Therefore II is we'll
for farmers TO give attention TO the
subject and in the view OF Mr..
French a county expert will be able
to assist wheat men along this line
as we'll as upon other points.
The chief demand for a county ex-
pert. however, appears to come from
the east end OF the county and from
the Stanfield section. though some
local requests have been made. In
the east end OF the county the farm
ers' union men are urging that the
county secure an expert and II Is in
response TO number Of letters he
has received that Prof. French Is
here today
At this time there are 10 Oregon
counties using farm experts. They
are Union, Malheur, Harvey. Crook.
klamath. Jackson. Marion, Lane,
Coos and Tillamook. Lake and Multi
nomah have appropriated money for
such experts and several other coun- /
ties are considering the subject. All
the men now in the field are said to
be rendering valuable work and are
successful about securing the cooper
alton of farmers in improved meth
ods.

CHARLES PETERSON SHOOTS
AND KILLS STRANGER
CONTINUED from page u

of it at the time, he said. but as the
man came to the house and asked for
! a drink he asked him II anything
was the matter. The man stated that
he had got the harness on wrong. At
the time Mrs. Peterson was milking
some cows a short distance from
where the man had stopped the team.
When the man had put away the
team he came to the house and en-
tered the kitchen, Mr.. Peterson
states, and Mrs. Peterson was at the
time engaged in mopping the floor.
did you tell him what I was doing
cut there?" the man demanded OF
her. Mrs. Peterson answered chat
she hadn't noticed what he was do
ing. well, it's none Of your damn
ed business what was doing" he re-
torted and 1t was these words that
Mr.. Peterson. sitting In an adjoin
ing room, heard.
He stepped to the kitchen door
and asked what the trouble was.
The man he says. thereupon turned
upon him and began cursing him. Mr..
Peterson ordered him 10 leave the
house but the man, instead OF going.
reached into his pocket and advanced
toward Mr.. Peterson. The latter
caught the flash of knife and i'm
mediately drew out .32 caliber re-
volver which he says. had been in
his pocket since Thanksgiving day
when he had been shooting magpies.
As he drew the gun he again ordered
the man to leave but the other kept
advancing, whereupon Mrs Peterson,
without further hesitation. opened
fire. He thinks he shot four times
but declares the bullets seemingly
had no effect upon the man. He
kept advancing and having emptied
his gun, Mr.. Peterson retreated into
the other room to reload. AS he did
SO he heard the man go out the door
and soon afterwards heard him fall
to the floor OF the porch. Having
determined that he was dead, he es-
cortNd his wife to the Madison place
and sent Mr.. Madison to Pendleton.
When the sheriff and coroner
reached the Peterson place they
found that the man had fallen against
one Of the porch posts and that his
head was leaning against It. The
fall. had bruised and cut one ear and
the side Of his face. Undertaken
Haws Judd went out after the body
and brought 1t in to the morgue where
photos were taken of II this morning.
Hardly anything Is known OF the
man. Mr.. Peterson states that he
had mentioned his name once but ne
has forgotten It, He also states that
the man told him that ne was born
near Richmond, virginia, that he had
served two years in the army and
that he had drifted about all over
the United States. He was n tall man
Of probably S5 or 40 years light
with a small moustache,
He wore patched khaki trousers and
a corduroy coat. Nothing was found
In his effects to indicate his name or
home.
What the man had been doing in
the field that he did not want his
employer to know IS a mystery to Mr..
Peterson, and his motive for starting
4 quarrel and drawing a knife is
likewise unknown. He thinks the
man may have had mania to kill
FOR he states that his face was dis
-orted with violent passion when he
drew the knife and advanced upon
him. The knife was a large pocket
knife with a spring blade.
