pArELEss, SUMMARY OF THE

DATELEss, SUMMARY OF THE ASSOCIATED PRESS, Aug. t7. = While the indications are that the German plans contemplate the with drawa of their troops from the re- maining positions within the angle which, at the beginning of the pres ent Allied offensive, lay between AL bert and Soissons with the auex ex- tending South of Montdidier, the AL lies will not permit them to go in peace. They continue their attacks necessarily and both British and French are making consistent gains. The German retreat would probably be much faster if it were not fer the constant pressure.
 During the last 48 hours the fight ina has been characterized by severe artillery fire at many points along the battle front, successful Allied attacks and captures, and the re- pulse of several strong German at- tacks.
 The Allies have added many im- portant points to their gains, and the capture of Rove seems to be likely to occur at any moment.

LA GRANDE SEEKING
CONSTABULARY UNIT

LA GRANDE, ore, March %
At meeting held in the city hall
yesterday La Grande business men
wired Governor Withycombe. the
state Council of Defense and Mayor
Baker of Portland, asking that the
Eastern Oregon unit of the state con-
stabulary, which apparently is to be
inaugurated, be placed in La Grande.
The argument contained in the
telegram for its location here was that
a year ago, when /. w. w. troubles
were springing up in Eastern Oregon
Adjutant-General George White sta
toned two companies of soldiers here
to protect the Eastern Oregon country
1t is admitted without the troops
here there would have been serious
trouble probably, and therefore the
impression prevails that La Grande is
an I. w. W. stopping place.
With saw mills here and in the
surrounding countries and the wheat
fields of the Grande Ronde and Una
tilla county close by it is argued that
this is the logical point to place a
company Of mounted police. such as
the state constabulary will naturally
provide.
A committee of La Grande people
will visit Portland tonight in the in
terest of the movement.

HE DOES HIS BIT
BY GETTING SICK
Rejected as Fighter, Leopold Strauss
Submits TO Trench Fever
InoculatiOn.

NEW YORK. March 26.-Aftcr be-
ing turned down three times by the
army and navy, Leopold Strauss, son
of Benjamin Strauss of No. 5S West
112th street, went to France with the
Presbyterian hospital unit, and there
according to a letter recently received
from him, he at last got a chance to
do his bit. He did it by offering him
self, with two others. as IA subject for
incubation with trench fever germs,
so that the American medical men
might seek a cure.
The incubation consisted in taking
from soldier patients "cooties" or
chats" as young Strauss calls them,
and placing them on the arms of
Strauss. Twice day for twenty min
utes each, during a period of four
weeks, these trench vermin were thus
permitted to feed" Then came the
observation period to see whether the
subject had contracted the fever.

THE FRUITS OF A FILL
BUSTER

T HOUGH the United States
VI has over a million and a
half soldiers under arms
and trained for service only
about one third the number is
in France. The lack of ships
has prevented getting the other
men across. A constant stream
of transports is kept moving
and with the single exception
of the Tuscania there have
been no losses. Nevertheless
the shipping facilities have
been inadequate to the occa-
sion. The shipping situation is
plainly responsible for the fact
we have not as many men in
Europe as we would like to
have now.
The biggest blunder this
country has committed in con-
nection with the war was com
mitted when a little coterie of
standpatters in the senate
blocked the administrations
shipping bill three years ago.
That filibuster delayed our
preparations materi-
ally. If President Wilson had
been properly supported at
that time the story of our pres
ent ship shortage might read |
very differently from what it |
does. We might have a milli-
on men in France now.
1t happens that some of the
men most vociferous in criti-
Using the President at this

IN THE ZONE OF PREVARI,
CATION

n r our senators and con-
U gressmen would direct cri-
ticism to the inadeuuacv
of our methods in dealing with
spies and to the lack of suffi-
cient energy on the part of our
government and our allies in
spreading allied propaganda
abroad much good might be ac-
complished.
Our spy handling methods
are too tame. We deport men
who should be locked up or
shot. As to propaganda abroad
we seem to allow the Germans
to have monopoly of lie
spreading among the Russians
and Italians and they make use
of their privileges to the limit.
Their influence should be off
set and thus the morale of
those countries improved from
the standpoint of the allies. We
have a good cause why not ex-
plot it more, thereby mailing
the kaiser's falsehoods.
The East Oregonian is under
the impression that in ship
building, munition making and
air craft production we are do
ing wonderful work, consider
ing difficulties that could not
have been avoided. 1t may be
we can do better and if so the
motto should be full speed
ahead and retirement for those
who do not make good.
But how about allied work in
the direction of moral offensive.
Are we not overlooking a
chance there?

AMERICA HAS AWAKENED

~ ERMANY believes that
VI she has the right to domi-
nate the world. Her
militaristic autocracy believes
that this war is a step toward
such world domination, but
that German demands for the
present may rest satisfied with
substantial gains in Europe.
For years German political
writing has been full of the
terms of peace" after a war,
and today those terms remain
unaltered. The Russian nego-
tiations have served to prove
that what has for long time
been public opinion, is now of
ficial opinion. The quotations
will show this.
First, the more general pur-
poses: '1f we come victorious
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1918-03-28
SUBSCRIPTION RATEs

out of this war, we shall be the
first people on the earth, a rich
stream of gold will pour over
our land" Expansion of our
power both East and West, if
possible also over seas; politi-
cal and military domination
combined, indissoIubly con-
nected with economical expan-
sion, this is our war aim. 1.-The
territory open to future Ger
man expansion must extend
from the North Sea and the
Baltic to the Persian Gulf, abb
sorbing the Netherlands and
Luxembourg, Switzerland, the
whole basin of the Danube, the
Balkan Peninsula and Asia
Minor"
Against that German ideal
we are fighting. But we are
also fighting to save the Amer
icas from the 'next step" in
German Imperialism. In the
first year of the war, the one
great fear expressed by Ger
man officers was that a long
war in Europe would "cause
America to wake up" Wake
up to what? Not to the need
of American participation in
the war. The German officers
thought America negligible for
this war. But they did, and do,
fear that America would
awake to the danger to herself,
her ideals, her institutions, her
interests, and that being awak-
ened, Germany's next step in
world domination would be
harder than the present one.
