pecially when the market

There are some things, how
ever, the East Oregonian has
not done lately. We did not
announce that the Standard

pealed when the reverse was
true. This paper never dis
cotiraged E. P. Dodd by claim

was not. We never trifled
with the public by announcing
that the normal measure had

Among the advantages

3-Certain adaptability to

'LTKE AN EGG

T Asst summer this newspa-
y per ventured the predic-
ton that when Germany
broke it would break like an
egg" 1t has done SO. The
country could stand for vic
tories; it could not stand de-
feat. Under the sledgeham-
mer blows of Foch on the west
ern front and the skillful di-
plomacy of Wilson, Germany
has gone to pieces all over, if
various. reports may be relied
upon. The country is ablaze
with revolution, ships, naval
and otherwise have been seized
and the red flag flies over Ham
burg. The German autocracy
is doomed and the kaiser will
be fortunate if he gets to St.
Helena.
