BRYAN's FIRST VISIT
To ENGLAND

when W. J. Bryan made his first
trip to Europe. he was not 80 sure
OF the kind OF reception he would re-
celve. He thought that perhaps his
fame as the opponent Of the Gold
Standard would precede him and that
European public sentiment might not
be willing to accord him as high n
place as he had gained at home. But
he soon found that he was known as
an American leader and wonder
fully gifted speaker
His own attitude toward European
was sometimes a matter OF doubt.
His patience was sorely tried at one
time while attending big banquet
In London. As the guest Of honor, he
was asked to lead the way to the din
Ing room with a we'll known Duchess
on his arm. This elderly lady, wish
ing to make conversation said, "Mr.
Bryan, do you not find English ladies'
far more attractive than American
ladlesg" Mr.. Bryan knew that her
eldest son had found II necessary to
20 to America to find a bride that
suited his taste and hot retort was
on his lips, but with his usual kindli-
ness, he overlooked the bad taste Of
| his dinner partner and replied, that
he had always found the women
everywhere, good enough for the
men
Having heard OF the density Of the
English minds regarding American
Jokes, he decided to try one on his
nrst audience. He said that CUES
ton was once asked by public
speaker II anyone had ever heard OF
perfect person. After long pause.
a demurc little woman arose and
answered that she had never heard OF
any. save her husbands first wife.
Mr. Bryan is authority for the
statement that the Joke is appreciated
wherever the marriage relationship
exists.
Although his lectures are always
inspired by some great central mo-
tive that Is far from the humorous,
Mr. Bryan always manages 10 weave
In enough OF the humorous side TO
keep his hearers Interested and In
good humor. lie does this without
appearing to drag It in, as so many
public speakers do and II is only an
Indication Of his real Amoricanism
that the sense Of humor seems al
ways to be on tap In his own mind
aud therefore finds instant rc"oonso
with his audiences.

muqua committee, hls subject, THE

(Carl Ackerman.)

BERLIN. Nov l6.--Hindenburg is
forcing the British to pay a toll o:
lives entirely disproportionate TO
their Somme gains. He terrlficaily
shelled the lines today. inflicting
enormous casualties.
All reports say the British disre-
garded the sacrifice of human life,
while the Germans bitterly defended
the line. despite the almost complete
destruction OF their positions. Front
advices say all officers admit the en-.
emy is able to win a few trenches and
villages by concentrating enormous
artillerying on a small front and
launching a gigantic attack The
assaults are so costly they couldn't
be frequently repeated, Berlin
frankly admits the loss of fortified
positions. She says the British at
tacks are uncomfortable but not dan
gerOus.
Berlin believes the Italian restless
ness, and growing London anxiety
over food prices has forced the Brit.
ish to make another gigantic effort
after over four months Of limited sue
cesses on the Somme. The Vossische
zeitung said Rome newspaper ad-
mltted the Italians think Britain Is
prOlonging the war to crush Germany
and also the allies, by forcing the
allies to purchase all supplies in Lon
don and Liverpool. The Lokal Anzie-
ger said submrines had caused the
British food shortage.

ENDLESS CHAIN IS
PROVEN BIG FRAUD

A good many Pendleton people
who have been receiving copies of a

that there are indications that It's

1T is suggested that the chain he
continued in a series up to so, that
five persons answer each number in
the serial with their 10 cent contri-
hutton. A Seattle recipient of one of
the chain letters has figured out that
if everybody has responded up to date

be still going. A local recipient has
figured ii out the same way
