In point of attendance the annual
meeting of the Washington State Press
Association fell short of last year, but
in spite of that drawback there was mo
less interest manifest in the daily ses-
sions, beginning last Thursday morning
and ending at 100 p. m. Saturday. One
thing stood out prominently, and that
was that editors OF this state are alive
to the seriousness of the war in which
we are now engaged and the necessity
Of supporting The president in this
crisis. The program was very good
especially informing along lines in
which all newspaper men are interest
ed. The print paper situation receiv-
ed due attention and prospects are IA
vorable at least for a slight reduction
in price Nothing was left undone by
the citizens of Chehalis and the local
committee to make their guests well
come. Thursday evening was given
over 10 an informal social time in the
Citizens Club rooms; Friday afternoon
the visitors were shown through the
plant Of the Carnation Milk Products
Co., and then humber went on an
auto tour OF the valley to the south;
the ladies' present were taken by their
hostesses to the state industrial school
for girls, now located few miles
north of Centralia. In the evening a
concert was given by Chehalis' famous
band; then followed a banquet un-
der the auspices OF the ladies OF he
Presbyterian church, which sufficedfor
a time TO separate the newspaper man
from his troubles A number Of after
dinner speeches were made and the
usual "jollying" was INDUCED in; but
without doubt the address by Edgar b.
Piper. editor Of the Portland Oregoni-
an, in which he sought to arouse his
audience to the dangers confronting
this nation and the need of awakening
the people to the menace OF German
Frightfulness, was the GROWING event
Of the evenings program. Another
auto tour was given the visitors Satu-
day afternoon, the route covering the
fertile valley to the west. The enter
tainment was certainly fine, and re-
rebounds to the well-known hospitality
of the citizens Of the prosperous little
city OF Chehalis.

continuation Of street meetings and all
gatherings where sedition is preached.

nothing beyond full enforcement Of the
