FRENCH HEADQUARTERS. Oct.
s.-German headquarters see the me-
cessity of economizing In human ma
terial, according to orders found on
German prisoners. signed by Quarter
master General Ludendorff. SThe or
ders declare the Germans are using
more mortal howitzer shells than pro-
cuced- The orders criticize COM
manders for allowing:
Too severe fighting for unimport-
ant positions; hasty counter attacks
without information from artillery
too dense occupation in first lines
and large reserves kept too close
when an attack is not planned: too
much artillery fire against empty
trenches at night when it is impos-
sible to locate the enemy.
The orders follow in part. ''The
consumption of shells for mortars and
heavy field howitzers is much greater
than the production. This Is serious.
However. the superior direction OF
the army cannot issue a new general
order for further restriction in the
consumption of munitions because
our losses on all fighting fronts con-
tinue to be very high. and could be-
come even higher II further general
restrictions were made. Economy in
men is even more important than
economy in munitions.

Of This Amount Two PendIeton Banks and Customers

Umatilla county's quota of the sec

$50, 900 and of this amount it is ex-
pected that 100000 must be sub

that every citizen must prove his pa

To date only about 100000 has
been subscribed through the local
banks which means that the people
have not yet begun to respond the
way they must if the county's quota
is reached.

the new four per cent bonds are tax
