Buenos Aires, Aug. 2S.--The German
minister tonight handed the Argentine
government the following note:
The German imperial government
desires to maintain cordial relations
with Argentina" and, to prove with
1acts its friendly sentiment, has decid-
Ell after new investigation OF the
Ioro case to indemnify the Argentine
government.
The imperial German government
declares at the same time that the
freedom of the seas in which Argen-
tne shipping would share, forms one
of the objects of this war. AS Il con-
sequence of the Illegal acts -of its
enemies, the liberty of action of the
imperial German government is linn
tied, but 1t willingly acknowledges the
dictates of international law and will
lendeavor to observe them.
THE naval forces of the German
| empire have received orders and In
structions in agreement with this view
point and the imperial German gov
eminent is convinced that after these
declarations no incident will occur to
disturb the friendly relations between
Germany and Argentina"
Argcntina's statement.
The foreign office this evening is
sued the following official statement
concerning the negotiations with Ger
many:
After the delivery of the second
Argentine note to Berlin the German
minister held several conferences with
the Argentine foreign minister in an
attempt to solve the questions in dis
pute. These met with no success be-
cause. though the foreign minister was
willing to give explanations, Germany
insisted on the condition that Argen-
tina prevent her vessels from traVers-
ing the blockade. The foreign minis
ter explained this instance to the pres
ident who refused the condition as be-
ing absolutely incompatible with the
spirit of Argentina's demands, which
insisted upon q solution of the diff
Guilty in accordance with the sovereign
rights of the nation.
After the refusal of the president
further to consider a solution of the
situation based upon the German con-
ditlon the German minister requested
Berlin to eliminate the condition. Ar
gentina's claims have been satisfied
in all their terms and without re-
strictions."
Germany Comedies All.
La Epoca, the mouthpiece of the
presidential party, says concerning the
German note;
Germany accepts Argentina's
claims. She comedies ample satisfac-
ton and promises indemnity, and what
is more, guarantees the future invio-
la bility of Argentina's sovereignty on
the blockaded seas
This diplomatic triumph exceeds
the most optimistic hopes considering
that Germany enlisted the United
States among her enemies and caused
a rupture with Brazil by denying them
the same rights she now has conceded
Argentina in order to maintain the
principle which inspired her sub.
marine blockade"
La Epoca believes the note indicates
a modification OF Germany's foreign
policy.

word of honor 1t could pledge in a
treaty of settlement and accommo-
dation?
Great Wrongs Suffered.
Responsible statesmen must now
everywhere see, if they never saw be-
fore, that no peace can rest securely
upon political or economic restrictions
meant to benefit some nations and
cripple or embarrass others, upon
indicative action of any sort or any
kind of revenge or deliberate injury.
The American people have suffered
intolerable wrongs at the hands of the
imperial German government but
they desire no reprisal upon the Ger
man people who have themselves suf-
fered all things in this war, which
they did not choose. They believe that
peace should rest upon the rights of
peoples not the rights of govern
.ments-the rights of peoples great or
small, weak or powerful-their equal
right to freedom and security and
f-government and to a paiticipa-
ton upon fair terms in the economic
opportunities of the world--the Ger
man people of course included if they
will accept equality and not seek dom
ination.
Test of Peace Plans.
THE test therefore of every plan of
peace is this: Is it based upon the
faith of all the peoples involved or
merely upon the word of an ambitious
and intriguing government on the one
hand and group of free peoples on
the other? This is test which goes
to the root of the matter; and it is
the test which must be applied.
The purposes of the United States
in this war are known to the whole
world-to every people to whom the
truth has been permitted to come.
They do not need to be stated again.
We seek no material advantages of
any kind. We believe that the in
tolerable wrongs done in this war by
the furious and brutal power of the
imperial German government ought
to be repaired, but not at the expense
of the sovereignty of any people
rather a vindication of the sovereignty.
that are strong. Punitive damages
the dismemberment of empires, the
esta blishment of selfish and exclusive
economic leagues, we deem inexpedi
ent and in the end worse than futile
no proper basis for a peace of any
kind, least of all for an enduring
peace. That must be based upon JUS
tice and fairness and the common
rights or mankind.
Kaiscr's Word Bankrupt.
I'VE cannot take the word of the
present rulers of Germany as a guar
antee of anything that is to endure
unless explicitly supported by such
conclusive evidence of the will and
purpose of the German people them
selves as the other peoples of the
world would be justified in accepting
Without such guarantees, treaties OF
settlement, agreements for disarma-
ment, covenants to set up arbitra-
ton in the place of force, territorial
adjustments, reconstitutions of small
nations, If made with the German
government, no man, no nation could
now depend on. We must await som4
new evidence of the purposes of the
great peoples of the central powers
God grant it may be given soon and
in way to restore the confidence OF
all peoples everywhere in the faith OF
nations and the possibility of cove
ranted peace.

HEPPNER MEN INVEST.
GATE OUTSIDE PAVING

A party of Heppner business men
/ consisting of c. E. Woodson, W. w.
Smead, j. l.. Wilkins and w. G. Nc
Carly went to Pendleton and Walla
Walla last week to investigate va
rious kinds of street paving.
At both places they were accorded
royal welcome and all city officials
were glad to show them over the
streets and explain the pavings used
there and the cost of the same.
These men found bitulithic to be
form of street paving used there
almost entirely now, as it has proven
to be the best for this section of the
country and cheaper than concrete.
They will have a report to make to
the next mass meeting of citizens
which will probably be held in the
near future.

ACTORS All Want to be Farmers"
Says Robert EdesOn.

Actors all aspire to be farmers,
according to Robert Edeson, the star
of "The Light That Failed" pro-
duced as Pathe Gold Rooster Play
from Kiplings celebrated book and
to be shown at the Star Theatre on
Friday and Saturday.
1.-THE Massachusetts and Long Is
land coasts are dotted with actors
colonies" he said recently. Some of
these homes are pretentious, but
many more are of a humble, even
primitive description. All season
the owners look forward to the vaca-
ton spent there. Last summer two
members of prominent company
hurried from San Francisco to a
charming place on Long Island that
they might spend two weeks in their
home
Have you ever seen an actress
hotel apartment? One tray of her
trunk is invariably given up to trihes
with which she tries to make believe
and to lend a home touch to her tenn
porary quarters. One well-known
star carries her bed covering, sofa
cushions and favorite pictures with
her.
Men, of course, are content to
live in their trunks while on tour.
But none the less do many of them
often experience feeling of home
sickness and chant in their dressing
rooms that old refrain Its too many
miles from Broadway" To the skep-
tical and unthinking this is thought
to be literally Broadway with its all
night cafes and restaurants and its
nearby Lambs club. Those in the
know realize old Broadway may
spell a cozy fiat in Harlem or a two
by-four home on Long Island"
When Robert Edeson was on tour
as the star of Soldiers of Fortune"
he was interviewed many times.
When asked whether he would have
preferred that Soldiers of Fortune"
had remained little longer than
one hundred and fifty nights in New
York, he always said Yes. l wanted
to plant some more raspberry bushes
on my Long Island farm"

Kick BY Horse Breaks Leg.

Stewart Valentine, son of Chas.

the barn lot at the Valentine home
north of Heppner yesterday noon, the
result being a broken leg. While at
tending to the horse after coming in

at him, striking his left leg between
the knee and ankle, breaking the
bone square off. He was brought to
Heppner at once and received proper
surgical attention and is now doing
well under the care of his physician
at the Heppner Sanatorium.

about 100 yards, the big 200 horse
power engine roaring like six ma.
chine guns and the nine-foot-six pro.
pellor blowing hurricane. And then
suddenly the earth began to drop
away from us and we were flying.
One hundred miles an hour is some
speed and the ground directly under
us was simply blurred streak. AS
we climbed higher and higher we had
the sensation of losing speed, but
really were not. From $500 feet the
earth looked like big, beautiful,
colored map, trees appeared to be
tiny punches of grass and the river
looked like small silver thread ly-
Ing upon its surface. The scene was
made more beautiful by the shadows
of the swiftly moving clouds.
After a few steep banks made
by tipping the machine up on edge in
rounding curve, the captain made
couple of quick dips to try me out,
but that didn't bother me any so
turned my head and grinned, swear
that is all did, when quick as flash
the "old bird" stuck her nose
straight down and the earth came
tearing up to meet us. A machine
in nose dive" attains a speed of
13O miles an hour, so you see we
were going some"
Gee, | felt like l was in a hundred
high speed elevators all at once,
leaving the 49th story for the base
ment with no stops. l felt for a few
seconds like | had lost my stomach.
Its the sudden tipping forward and
the first 40 or SO foot drop that gets
you and then, you sort of ease up
inside and enjoy it. That sure was
thriller, but it was only a starter
compared with what followed.
When l looked around again the
captain was laughing at me; l guess
he thought he had got my goat, but
after this experience l believed that
| could stand anything l wanted to
loop the loop and so stuck out my
hand and described a circle in the
air. He nodded, the machine stuck
her nose almost straight up, turned
over on her back, but instead of COM
pleting the loop she slid over on her
right side, so that her left wing
pointed up and right down, and while
in that position dropped 60 feet or
more and then righted herself by
turning half over to the left. And |
say, | had some more funny feelings.
The odd thing about air riding is that
with every change of direction, eth
er sidewise, up or down or both, you
get different sensation so there is
MT much danger of your ride getting !
monotonous.
Again the machine went nearly
straight up, turned upside down and
then "pancaked," or settled straight
down while lying on her back, then
tipped over and sailed along as nice
as you please. The last stunt was a
perfect loop-the-loop, the motor was
then throttled and we glided down
to the field in big, easy circles.
I'm wild to go again and l hope
to become a pilot before the war is
over.
There are four other Heppner boys
here, Will Morgan, Mr.. Douglass,
Clyde Cox and Rolfe VanBibber and
believe that they are enjoying ar
my life as we'll as I am.

GRAIN Bin MADE HERE

Now that the bulk handling Of
grain in Morrow county is about to
be universally adopted, many types
of wagon bins and field bins have
been introduced into Heppner. A To-
cal man, Henry Ashbaugh, has in
vented a wagon bin that bids fair to
become popular with farmers here.
The bin is so constructed that a SIM
pie lift at the rear permits the grain
to be unloaded in an instant. The
bin is of good wood construction and
from all appearance quite durable.
Mr.. Ashbaugh makes field bin also.
A number of other local dealers
have taken the agency for grain bins.
Hugh c. Citizens represents the Stay
Round Perfect Grain Bin and has one
of these on exhibition at his lumber
yard. A feature of this bin, which is
made of wood, is the fact that no
nails, wire or screws, steel bands or
anything else of like nature are used
in its construction. A hammer and
block of wood will put the bin up.
The pieces are made to fit perfectly.
A silo is made in the same manner
which has already proven of great
worth and Mr.. Citizens says the COM
pany manufacturing them cannot
supply the demand at the present
time.
John w. Johnson, contractor, also
has grain bin, the Johnson grain
bin. 1t may be seen at the new grain
elevator which Mr.. johnson is now
putting up for the Farmers Union
Warehouse.
