HONOR'S CONFERRED
ON MAJOR EDWARDS
CANADIAN OFFICER FINDS TWO
g. DECORATIONS WAITING HIM
IN VICTORIA. b. c.

When Major Edwards of the Cana
dian army returned to Victoria. B. c.
after his months trip through ore
gon, explaining the needs of the war,
he found awaiting him two signal
honors. The first was his formal dec
Grafton with the Russian order of St.
Stanislaus, with crossed swords and
bow.
The second was his appointment
to be governor of Resthaven Military
Convalescent hospital at sidney, B.
c.. which takes care of wounded Ca
madam soldiers.
The inforation is contained in
letter to his friend, Major ]. Mel.
Wood of Portland. who was with the
Canadian party much during its stay
in Portland.
Major Edwards was in Oregon dur
ing the month of January In com
pany with Captain Cook, and their
meetings in Pendleton made a deep
impression.
While Major Edwards is too mod
est to say So" Major Wood said. the
decoration conferred upon him by the
car two years ago and only just now
formally presented, undoubtedly was
for bravery in action. and the good
friends he made in Portland congrat-
ulate this distinguished and deserving
soldier on the honor conferrRd."

BAKER TEAM TO
MEET PENDLETON
QUINTET TONIGHT

Everything is in readiness for the
big game with the Baker high school
boys basketball team at the local
high school gymnasium tonight. This
is the first time that Baker has ever
come to Pendletoh to play basketball.
The local boys defeated Baker when
they went over there, and that team
is expected to come here with the in
'tention of evening up scores. The
Pendleton boys know they will have
scrap on their hands and it is diff
cult to tell how the game will come
out.
Those who will probably play on
the local five according to Coach
Jones are: Beller, Casey, Strahorn,
Hudson, Fitzgerald and Tharp. The
team will be handicapped by the alb
sence of Ralph Kyle, forward, who
has left school.

"Whack The RumOr"
Will Be Campaign
Started This Week
FALSE STORIES CIRCULATED
ARE TRACED TO GERMAN
AGENTS.

BEGINNING today an effort is TO be
made to eliminate the "rumor' in the
war situation.
Since the boys began to go into the
training camps, oregon, as well as
other states, has been flooded with
stories concerning harsh and brutal
treatment meted out to the men. and
the government has definitely ascer-
talned that the origin of most Of these
stories has been in the German prop
uganda which is at work to under
mine the spirit of Americans
The month of March Is to be devot-
ed to educating the people Of this
state to disregard idle vaporings OF
that kind.
England and France had to put
over a similar campaign of education
before the people learned that Ger
man agents We're behind the stories.
A favorite story is the one concern
ing the private who was sentenced to
a term of five years in prison for re-
fusing to allow the army surgeons to
perform a minor surgical operation.
Newspapers have endeavored to con-
firm numerous stories of that kind.
and have registered failure each
time The goyernment says that
German agents start them.

Allied Cause Threatened
Jan. Is, Congressman De-
clares Defending Garfield
COMMUNICATION LINES
ENTIRELY DESTROYED
Clogged p.ortation
System Immediately Re-
medied by Fuelless
Order.

WASHINGTON, March Defend
ing Fuel Administrator Garfield, Con-
gresham Rainey declared that the
fuel situation was so serious that the
allied cause was threatened January
18th, when American lines of commu-
nication with France were absolute
Iy destroyed" owing to the clogged
transportation system not allowing
coal or steel to reach the steamships.
The sudden fuelless order was imper-
ative to coal $50 ships ready to sail.
He said the railroad tie-up lowered
projectile and steel shipment forty five
per cent. Since the fueIless order sup
plies have been moving regularly to
France. He says there was nothing
the matter with the coal but trans-
portation.
VIII Blush for Shame.
"Our lines of communication with
France were. about January 18th, abb
soIuteIy destroyed, not by submarines
but because our transportation sys-
TEN was clogged. The whole story
cannot be told. When it is there'1l be
members Of this house who'd be glad
to expunge their criticisms of the coal
order. Every ship in our harbor had
been bunkered and was ready to sail
within a week after the order. Since
then, it has been possible to load and
coal $50 ships carrying two million
tons of food and war supplies and the
supplies so necessary for winning the
war now are being distributed to our
armies and the armies of our allies.
undertake to save in the history of
America no man was ever subjected
TO more unreasonable or unjust cri-
ticism than Garfield. The task con-
fronting him is greater than that ever Z
