Hearst and the Tribune.
bridgeport Times)

Hearst is a lucky man. The arrest
of DR.. Rumely, who acquired the
New York Mail with German money!,
has given him a distinct advantage int
respect of the disloyalty charges
made by the Tribune. The Tribunes
and the Mail have been about fifty
fifty, since the war began. Each Of
them warmly supported the war. but
warmly criticised the president and
those who we're carrying on war.
The Tribune says:
Herr DR.. Rumely was a byngier.
He touched the money. That Was IN
believably crude"
Ogden T.. Mills, director of the Trt-
bune, was bopdholder of the Mail.
during the ownership of DR.. Rum ely.
When the Germans put their nili!!ols
into the Mail, they did what they
could to make r. MiIPs bonds #ortfa
real money.
Hearst triumphantly asks the Tri%
bune to explain its lack OF knowledge
OF the German connection with th6
Mail, and suggests that the Tribune IS
more vexed with Rumelys awkward
ness than with his unpatriotic cons
duct.
The Tribune for partisan motivesS
constantly belittled the administration
at washington, though it supported
the war.
Partisanship and German cash pro-,
duced like consequences. The Iris

The Mail, by German money.

1t looks as though the first allied
counter offensive will be made by
Italy against the ragged, hungry, dis
pirited army of Austria. With ample
food and munitions and with the aid
of British, French and American ar
tillery and airmen, the Italians
should be able to drive back the
army of the Hapsburg unless the
Germans should reinforce them. Fail

fore Rheims suggests that they have
no troops to spare, and any weaken

be the signal for Foch to take the

Then streaming far out DER the sea

With a thrill Of just pride it un-
furled to full length
And breathed down a something that
imbueS all with strength
But suddenly dropping, it chung to it's

And this is the impulse that through
it's folds passed:
In justice, my claim to my title, SO
fair
In truth, as I wave, always should
share"
With these, brave and noble, who of
fer their all
That ne'er in a conflict my honor
should fall!
In the trench, or the open, the air, on
the sea,
They give up their lives to protect
and guard me!
AS Athene sprang forth from the gof~
head of old,
So now let g. flag to their homo un-
fold!
I'll give Of my stripes red erough for
the band,
Around enough white FIR center
,vr1ereon I SHAW sprinkle the stars of
deep blue,
To representatives, each boy, brave
and true.
And should one by chance on the
land, or the sea
The sacrifice great offer up there for
me,
That star of pure gold 'mongst the
others shall CLEAN
To show to the world that his gift
was supreme.
And all shall be tokens of gratitude
due
To those in the struggle who kept
Freedom true!
Their faults, or their errors, no
matter how grave,
Fore'er are wiped out by their serv
ice SO brave!
Their virtues are craven on mem ry' S

Till time is no more, growing bright

Humanity ever the world round shall
sing
Of glory, Our Boys to this banner
shall bring.
Tn many heart Is g. void, never filled,
And tears blind the eyes, yet the
senses are thrilled;
A feeling of pride with a balm heals
To know that they died for humani-
TVS gain!
Sony glory. I'll share with Our
Boys. far and near.
Without them to back me I'd soon
fall, I fear;
I'll fling to the breezes this banner, SO
new;
It's name shall be Service for me and
for you.
And where'er it's colors shine out

G. H. Whiteman died Tuesday morn

an illness covering period of several

Mr., Whiteman came to Umatila

west of Athena, where he resided until
few years ago, and since has been a
resident of Wala Walla. where he was
identified with municipal affairs. hav-
ing served four terms as city council

chased large ranch near LaCross,

son, Otis Whiteman.
The deceased was born in Keokuk

OPPOSED EMBARGO ON
UTAH COAL PRODUCTION

Fuel Administrator Holmes of Ore
gon is at Salt Lake City, where he at
tended the conference of western fuel
administrators yesterday. At the con-
ference ways and means of providing
the North Pacific section of the nation
with fuel and securing its distribution
at lowest possible cost was discussed.
In this connection, Holmes was de-
termined that the reported plan of
Washington states mine operators to
capture the Oregon market by secur-
ing an embargo on Utah and Wyoming
coal, should not 60 through. He took
the stand that Oregon. particularly
Eastern Oregon, is heavy consumer
of intermountain coal and that it would
be an imposition on them to force the
use of Washington coal which would
cost as much if not more, not including
the higher freight charges.
Moreover. Holmes declared that the
congested freight situation may not
get any better and he wants all the
fuel he can get to prevent any short
age this coming winter. Since the
government has virtually decided to
curtail the use of fuel oil in the North
west, it is expected that the demand
for coal will become very heavy this
summer and fall. Householders, for
this reason, are being urged to get in
their fuel supplies now, and take no
chances on heatless DAYS this winter.

chen.
Knock out the breadline at your
table.
1t has been said that the Revolu.
tionary War was won by men fed on
hasty pudding, in other words, corn
meal mush. Let it be written in his
tory that the winning of the present
war was made possible by the United
States eating potatoes.
The manner of eating, the time of
eating and even the kind of foodstuffs
eaten are largely matter of habit.
We do not desire to break ourselves
entirely of the habit OF eating or life
would not prove worth living, but 1t
can be made to prove better worth
living if we change some of the habits.
Suppose we cure ourselves of the
hand-eating habit and see II we do
not consume less bread. If you were
to put your bread and butter on your
plate and eat 1t with knife and fork
1t would reduce the amount Of bread
eaten at once. In some of the Oriental
countries men carry strings of bright
red wooden beads that are known as
Conversation beads" and they seem
unable to talk unless they have them
in their hands to play with and pass
from one hand to the other. We seem
to need something in our hands at
table or we feel the meal is incomplete
and that something is usually bread.
Forget this habit and save wheat. II
you must continue the hand.eating
habit, hold hot potato.
