FEEL EFFICIENT

To conclude a peace that will not be
made at it's own cost, the central pow
ers feel that their armies must retain
their present proportionate strength and
efficiency; that their losses must not be
greater in proportion than those of the
entente forces. Before the British mil
lions had appeared on the scene there
was always the vague fear that things
might go wrong once they took their
place. But the Somme operations have
shown that while the British millions
have been of much help to the French,
their coming has not been decisive.

Central Powers Would We'll
come Peace on Certain
Terms and Conditions
ENTENTE RELENTLESS
TO CRUSH ENEMIES
Sentiment in Vienna and Berlin Is
Teutonic Combination Still Too
Strong to Make Concessions
to Bring About Quiet

/. Vienna, September H.-(Correspondenc
of the Associated Press.)-With a keen
longing for peace, has come persistent
speculation in the central states as to
the manner in which this blessing may
be secured.
In Berlin and Vienna politicians con-
tinue setting their teeth when the word
peace is mentioned, not because war is
wanted, but for the reason that up to
this moment the entente governments
have shown no inclination to entertain
meeting on this ground.
If the fear prevailed in the central
states that a peace with honor, and
possibly profit could not be secured,
owing to military and economic weak
ness, then thought might run in a diff
ferent channel. But that the entente has
not shown that it can ultimately realize
its own hopes is the universal view held
in Austria Hungary and Germany, and
their allied countries.
WANT PEACE ON TERMS
The offensive on the Somme, the Rus
sian attack in Bukowna and in East
Galicia the entry into the war of Ru-
mania and its immediate consequences,
the campaign of Sarrail from Saloniki
and the exertions of the Italians, have
all contributed toward the feeling in the
central group that the resistance met by
the entente may yet open the eyes OF
those who must first announce that they
will be satisfied with a peace whose
terms will not have been the dismem-
berment of central Europe as a basis.
The central governments, so much may
be said, are ready today for a peace
which would leave Europe very much as
before the war, with the exception that
Poland must be made an autonomous
state and that neither Belgium nor
Servia again trouble. innocently, or
purposely, the quiet of Europe.
There is here not the faintest indica-
ton that the entente is inclined to en-
ter Negotiations on ti.4t basis That
being the case, the end Of the war seems
as far off as ever. In Vienna and Ber-
lin, on the other hand, nobody can yet
see why the central group should make
concessions, since they claim to hold
trumps everywhere by the occupation of
enemy territory so large that few adj
vantages of this order gained by the en-
tente can hardly count.

.maniy of that sort is disaster
Gus to a school system.
There are many reasons why
Pendleton should have a first
class school system. The town
bis ambitious for such schools
and is willing to pay the price.
When results are considered it
is cheaper to have efficient in
.Struction. even if larger Salar-
les are necessary, than to have
"a mediocre administration
possibly swayed by petty fa-
vOritiSm and political expedi-
ency.
The school board is the foun-
daton of the school structure.
The schools will necessarily re-
fleet the calibre and the ideals
.of the directors. Therefore
the strongest men and women
in the city are the proper type
for membership on the board,

THE COMING SCHOOL
ELECTION

M ENDLETON'S next pub.
Is lie event will be the elec.
ton of a school director
to succeed ]. V. Tallman whc
is retiring from the board early
in June. The position is one OF
importance and it is time that
real thought was being given
the subject by the people. The
election should not be allowed
to go by default, as is general
IL the case.
The law requires that a di.
rector must have the qualifica-
tions of a voter at a school ell.
ection. That means he or she
must be a taxpayer within the
district, either directly or
through having an interest in
a firm, partnership or corpor-
alton paying taxes within the
district. The position is open
to both sexes.
Further desirable qualifica-
.tions for a director in town
with Pendleton's ambitions
consists in broad mindednesS
and a genuine desire to make
the schools what they should
be. A director should have no
personal interests to serve, po-
litical, commercial or other
wise. 1t is a mistake to have
too many politicians on the
board. Politicians. particular
ly when seeking office, are at
times impressed by influences
exerted for some purpose other
than the welfare of the schools.
This may be only human on
their part but too much hu-

GOOD SOLDERING

IT 7 is popular pastime on
the part of some journals
having a mistaken notion
about how to work for pre-
paredneSS to belittle the army
and the navy in every imagin-
able manner. The abuse is of
ten scurrilous and insulting to
our soldiers and sailors and
tends to keep down enlist
.mentS. So it is cheerful to hear
something on the other side of
the question.
The New York World says
that it is not considered good
form to speak well of the Uni
ted States army or navy" but
the American troopers in Mex
leo, since the beginning of the
hunt for Villa, have made a
record that silences criticism.
Among many instances of
achievement since the troops
entered Mexico one to the last

out among the rest, at the time
when 20S men of the Eleventh

THE AMERICAN IDEA

m F Europe wishes peace up
on a basis to insure perm
anency the warning natl
ems may look to the path point
ed out to them by President
Wilson. Addressing the League
to Enforce Peace Saturday
the president said that if it
should fall upon him to move
in the direction of peacemak-
ing his plan would be as fol-
lows:
"First-Such a settlement
with regard to their own inn
mediate interests as the bellig-
erents may agree upon. Our
interest is only in peace and its
future guarantees.
''Second-An universal as
sociation of the nations to main
tain the inviolate security of
the highway of the seas and to
prevent any war begun either
contrary to treaty covenants
or without warning and full
submission of the causes to the
world-a virtual guarantee of
territorial integrity and politi-
cal independence"
The second paragraph has
the unmistakable brand of Am
ericanism upon it. 1t sets forth
the basis upon which this ma
ton would like to work for en-
during peace. Only by such an
arrangement may continuous
peace be secured. There must
be a world wide authority able
to enforce its DEGREES.
