presenting for its initial appearance in
Hood River the latest Paramount Pic
tograph, the last word in picture news
and items of vital interest to everyone
all of the way from how to carve
duck to the showing of American troops
on the Mexican border.
The beautiful Blanche Sweet, since
she has been with the Lasky Company.
has been seen in many unusual roles,
but as Vera Maroff. the school teacher
in small mining town, she is said to
portray role entirely different from
anything in which she has heretofore
appeared.
"The Black List" is daring indict-
ment Of the working conditions big
corporations as they exist in the many
states.
Vera is the daughter of mine work
er who is the head of Russian anarch-
lists, contemplating the overthrow of
the corporation. How the little school
teacher, after her people have been
shut down by the mine guards for re.
fusing to work under the terrible con-
ditions of the "bIack list" changes the
entire policy of the great corporation
and brings the president to her feet,
must naturally, be seen to be enjoyed.
This photo drama is said to deliver
lesson to the working classes in far
more graphic and vivid manner than
could be told from the pulpit or stage.

CAULT ON
WARPATH
RED HOT
Falls DOwn on State Cotton Report and
Some Federal Compiler is Likely
to Lose His Job
By United Press.

By United Press.
Oklahoma City, Dec. 1S.-President
Frank M. Gauit is on the war path,
and someone is going to lost his scalp.
Gault isn't saying who the victim or
victims will be- but suspicion points
its finger to federal officials who
have to do with collecting and compil-
ing figures for the cotton crop reports
in Oklahoma. 1t was all brought
about by the difference of 27s,S19
bales between the federal report for
cotton ginned in the state, and the
state report put out by Ganlt. On the
day the federal report was put out, the
cotton market suffered a fall Of s
points just because Of the difference.
Gault claims his figures are abso-
lutely correct. He makes his compila-
tion from the individual reports made
by the ginners of the state These
reports are made to the board of agri-
culture WIN peHdlly VI PAbV IL thSJ
are not sent in on time and sent in
correct. A vigorous investigation isl
now under way by agents Of the agri-
culture board to find out who was re-
sponsible for the alleged padding" of
tho federal report. 1T looks premed-
itated to me- declared Gault to the
United Press. what the producer
wants is an honest report, and that's
what gave out"
Gault took up the question with the
federal authorities as soon as the diff
ference was noted and he received a
reply stating that the matter had been
referred to the division of manufac-
turers, bureau of census, department
Of commerce, which collects cotton
statistics. THAT means it's been put
in the ice box" concluded Gault.
Gault today is trying to determine
upon what basis the federal represen-
tatives determine their figures.

Allies Terms of Peace in Reply to
TeutOn Proposals
GERMAN PEOPLE ARE
BECOMING FESTIVE
U. S. Government Attributes German In
iliaiiVe in Peace Move to Restless

By United Press.

py OullCu 4 AACco.
Washington, Dec. 18.-United States
officials are said to be convinced that
there can be no formal discussion of
peace until Germany avows her will
lingness to restore Belgium and Serbia
and until the nations involved in the
struggle are ready to disarm on large
scale.
In his forthcoming speech Premier
Lloyd-George of England is expected
to insist that such terms must be the
fundamental ground work of any par
leys and such action would pass the
buck" back to Germany. Moreover,
officials here believe the premier will
outline fully what the allies are fight
ing for but will not scorn the German
offers.
1t is understood that the United
States government today is convinced
concerning the following angles Of
the peace discussion: 1t is believed
that Germany offered peace because
her people are becoming restive. 1t
is believed that the people of all
countries, America included want
peace so long as there is no sacrifice
of the principles for which they are
fighting. No formal discussion of the
matter is thought possible unless the
Teutons avow their willingness to re-
store Serbia and Belgium. Lloyd
George tomorrow is expected to out
line the peace terms Of the allies.

London Times Says
 Trade Blacklist
 Is Misunderstood

London, Aug. 14-In discussing the American protest against the recent blacklist on American business firms, the Times asserts that both the United States and Great Britain have used similar methods in times of peace to suppress the opium traffic and that the United States followed a similar plan in the pacification of the Philip pines. The Times says:
 We are convinced that in the main the outcry is due to the same factor as has been at the bottom of more than one of our recent controversies with the United States, namely, mis- understanding.
 ''The blacklist is based upon the incontestible right of governments to tell their subjects with whom they may trade. It is a right sometimes invoked in times of peace. The United States, Great Britain and other coun- tries used it to suppress the opium traffic. During the pacification of the Philippines, the United States enforc- ed it against neutral traders in the Philippines who were suspected of dealing with the insurrection army.
 "In this war the American blacklist was promulgated after most careful consideration and appeared to have been formulated with all possible re- gard for the rights and .conveniences of neutrals. In telling our merchants with whom they may trade we are simply trying to contribute to the cause of civilization by bringing the war to a conclusion as quickly as possible"
