PACIFISTS NO LONGER

IH competitor seems to think
IA it something strange
that DIR. Foster. presi-
dent of Reed College, who has
been rated as a pacifist is
among those giving enthusi-
astic backing to the president
and government now that war
has come.
1t is not strange at all Nine
tenths the people of the coun-
try were pacifists to some de-
gree. At least they did. not
want war so long as it could be
avoided with honor and safe
ty. But that does not convict
them of having been either un-
patriotic or cowardly.
The East Oregonian is not
surprised in the least to find
pacifists turning out generally
to be thoroughly loyal citizens.
This very development was to
be expected and it is being
realized. Henry Ford, a lead
ing pacifist, long ago promised
his great factory to the use Of
the government if it should be
needed. Mr.. Bryan, so much
abused for his peace views,
shows himself a true patriot by
volunteering his services as a
private, Offering to undertake
any class of work desired of
him by the government. Col.
Roosevelt on the other hand
seems very particular about
the class of service he shall |
render. He insists that he be
made a brigadier general at
once and be allowed to lead a
division post haste to France.
Is the Bryan or the Roosevelt |
behavior the more patriotic?
The East Oregonian Opines
that it is a splendid thing for |
the country that it does not |
have to rely for defense en-
tirely upon those who have
been vociferous in shouting for |
war. The real surprise of the |
present situation arises over ,
the delay some of those gentle
men experience in getting to
the recruiting offices.

have European news galore but
little news of the orient or of
South America. In an address
before the Pittsburg Press Club
recently, Roy w. Howard,
, president of the United Press
laid bare the secret.
The need of the hour is for Japan
to know America better and FOR Am
erica to know Japan better. The
handicap that must be met is a cable
press rate Of as cents between san
Francisco and Toxic.
News Is a commercial comuaOdlty.
The Japanese Journalist and the Ann
erican Journalist buy in the mark
where a dollar gold yields the biggest
return of interesting facts.
We are surfelted with news of Fu-
rope and starved for news of the
Orient not because only European
events are of interest but because of
n cent press rate to Europe. where
there is cable competition, and a.
cent press rate to Toxic, where there
Is no competition.
When the wireless service is
developed under government
management or regulation so
that messages may be sent at
reasonable rates we will learn
more about Japan and the Jap
anese will become better in
formed as to America and Am
erican principles.

DID GERMANY MISTREAT
FOREIGN LEGI0NARIESl

international News Service)
NEW YORK, Aug. 14-Discussion of
the question whether Germany in
certain cases carried out her threat
to execute summarily captured mem
bers of the famous French Foreign
Legion was revived here today by
the appearance of a new book, Kelly
of the Foreign Legion" (Mitchell
Kennerley. publisher.)
The volume is made up of letters
written home by Russell A. Kelly,
a young American, who vas reported
missing after taking part in an as
sault at Souchez, June 16, 1915. No
further word of his fate has been
received from any source and whether
he fell into the hands Of the foe and
was mistreated on the ground that he
was a franc tireur'' is a matter of
conjecture.
Kelly's father, James f. Kelly, a
prominent New York City lawyer
says in the introduction to the book
that the French Minister of Val has
informed him his sons name will be
carried on the list of missing until q
search can be made of the intern
ment camps of Germany. Mr.. Kelly
adds:
when it was learned in New Yorf
that he had enlisted, he was informed
that Germany had, prior to the war

In response to the appeal made last May by superintendent Hal
6. Blue that all pupils above the third grade enlist for summer in a
vocational army, an average of about eighty per cent. enrolled them
selves. The Board of Education appointed Mr.. Floyd Smutz and Miss
Mcmillan as club organizers and directors, and the following clubs
showing a total membership of 1911, came into active existence
Bread, IA members; Canning, 100; Sewing, 270; Corn, 26; Garden,

objected 10 the Foreign Legion as a
military body, and had stated that
L~egionaries who were not French
citizens would be considered as non
combantants and not entitled to the
rights Of the other soldiers of the
French army.
"He was accordingly advised that
in the event of his capture TO give
no information as to his citizenship,
but to communicate with Ambasss-
dor Gerard. He answered that he
would follow those Instructions"
Kelly was not required to take IN
oath of allegiance to France and
therefore was an American citizen at
the time of his death. His letters
