seems safe to count upon the
Representations made with ref
erence to the subject.
Then will not this fact have
a vital bearing on the attitude
of Umatilla county toward the
bond issue? We have a 40
mile highway graded and ma
cadamized at heavy expense
tc the county. 1t has been an
improvement worth while but
the road must be surfaced or it
will disintegrate. If the road
is not hard surfaced by the
state from the highway fund it
will have to be surfaced at the
expense of the taxpayers of
Umatilla county.
With chance to secure this
work and much other valuable
work from the state, without
any increase whatever in tax
alton, will it not be well for
Umatilla county people to give
the bond issue close thought
with a view to supporting the
plan at the special election in
June.
The East Oregonian has been
study to the subject with
a view to discovering the weak
points as well as the merits of
the scheme. Unless defects
not noticeable at this time are
discovered this paper will be a
champion of the road bonds.

OUR HAGUE OBLIGATIONS

N F the United States con-
forms to its obligations
assumed at the Hague
convention in 1907 we will not
20 TO war with Germany with
out first giving an explicit de-
ClarstiOn upon the subject or
13y sending an ultimatum with
war contingent upon Ger
-manyss refusal to comply with
sur demands.
Aa1iele ] of the Hague con-
vention 20 which both Ger
many and the United States are
parties says: ''The contracting
powers recognize that hOstih-
ties between themselves must
NOT commence without previ-
Gus and explicit warning, in
the form Of a reasoned decla-
ration of war or of an ultima
GUrn with conditional declara-
@tion of war"
In this connection it may be
Hecited that Germany has not
been very scrupulous about OBJ
serving treaty requirements.
Germany was bound by treaty
not to bother Belgium, but the
fact did not deter the kaiser
from invading that neutral
country and laying il waste
when resistance was shown. II
may be also held that Herr
Zimnlerman's negotiations witn
Mexico for an invasion of our
southwestern states was far
from being an amiable pro-
ceeding on the part Of Ger
EnAny.
However, President Wilson
may deem il wise to scrupulous-
~ observe our obligations even
II Germany does not observe
her own. In that case we will
not enter this war without issu-
my a formal declaration or by
sending an ultimatum.

THE EFFICIENT WAY

WAR strength affords strong
largument against the policy OF
.relying entirely upon the vol
unteer system to secure soldiers
! for the nations purposes.
! If congress wishes to give us
real preparedness law will be
enacted providing for compul-
sorry training in some form. If
fthe country needs soldiers, it
/ will need soldiers and should
know they viii be available
without palaver or delay. War
fare calls for efficiency and it
IS not efficient to rely upon
sentiment or upon chance for
filling the ranks of an army
when the army is called to the
field. The energy and enthu-
siasm used in conducting re-
cruitng campaigns could be
used for other purposes with
good advantage.
Furthermore the compulsory
plan is the fair way. 1t places
the burden where it belongs,
upon the shoulders of all who
should bear it. 1t does not take
the willing ones to the front,
leaving the reluctant or the
fearful at home.
War is a horrible thing and
to be avoided if we can avoid
it with honor and safety to our
rights and principles. But If
Uncle Sam must play the game
let him do it right. This is
1917, not 1875 or 1861.
