FACE TO FACE.


The United States and Germany
are face to face over the Lusitania
affair. The gravity of the issue can
not be disguised, The German reply,
though framed in concilliatory terms,
does not retreat an inch from Ger
many's assertion of its right to carry
on its deadly submarine warfare
against its enemies without any re-
gard to the rights or interests or lives
of neutrals. Ii America gets in be-
tween Germany and her enemies, so
much the worse for America.
President Wilson has notified Ger
many that the imperial government
will be held to strict accountable
ity." That is the language of war
though it does not necessarily mean
that we shall resort to war, except
as an ultimate necessity to protect
our rights, our citizens, our honor
and our sovereignty. 1t seems incred-
ible that we shall progress into war,
and, notwithstanding the unsatisfac-
tory, uncompromising and unpromis-
ing nature of Germany's note, 1t is
not likely that there will be warfare
We do not want it and we may trust
the President to assert the National
dignity without it, if there is way it
can be done. There might be sew
erence of diplomatic relations and
there might be confederation of
neutral nations to outlaw Germany
The result would indeed be a situa
ton approaching condition of war
which would be different from active
and destructive belligerency. 1t would
be different because in the circum
stances war would be difficult and
almost impossible, -1r both Germany
and the United States.
1t might be wished that Germany
had assumed a different position. 1t
appears desirous of keeping Amer
lea 5 friendship, but it is obviously
not willing to sacrifice anything to
keep it, 1t is true enough that Ger
many has an enormous weapon in her
submarines and has done incalcuable
harm to Great Britain. But no con-
sideration that Germany may or may
not through her submarine blockade
be making headWay against the allies
can compel us to concede her right
to destroy innocent American lives as
an incident to her strategy. The
United States cannot yield to Ger
many the power to alter or repeal the
accepted rules of warfare merely be-
cause it is to her present advantage
to do so. We have no such obliga-
tion to Germany; but we have a clear
and imperative duty to ourselves
The President has taken a firm
stand. and he has the country be-
hind him. 1t does not expect him tC
back down; but it does expect ant
desire Germany to acknowledge he
error, and to cease her attacks upor
American ships and her destruction
of American lives.-Oregonian

The annual school election will be

served the district as director for the
past six years, has announced that he
will not be a candidate again. Dur
ing his term of Office there has been
much Improvement in our school, and
Mr.. Clark has stood at all times for
progress, backing every move for the
betterment of the school and stand
ing behind every proposition to place
it in the front rank of the educa-
tional institutions of the state Not
the least part of his work has been
his strong support of improved build
ings and grounds, and he can retire
at the end of his term with the con-
sciousness of duty to the public we'll
done.
We are authorized to state that Mr..
L. E. Bisbee, a native son of Heppner
and a member of the firm of Gillian

rector to succeed Mr.. Clark, and it is

opposition.

heavy demand for oats and with the
price coming up from rs cents to 81
cents the demand is being met with
Local authorities say that
the s~oftness of a great deal OF the corn
which is preventing it's shipment, has
something to do with the favoritism
that is now being shown to oats ano
that the communicating tactics adopt
