them and the ways of combating
them. The submarines, in addition to
sinking a number of steamers and at
lacking others, in some cases only a
few miles from the harbor of New
York, also destroyed a considerable
number of fishing vessels off New Eng
land. Several fights with these U-boats
were reported and it was believed that
at least one of them was sunk. What
was believed to be gas attack on
the coast guard station and lighthouse
on Smiths island, South Carolina, in
which several men were overcome, has
not yet been explained though the
theory that the poison gas came from
a submarine was discarded. Presum-
ably the fact that our naval vessels
are pretty busy on convoy duty accounts
for the comparative immunity of these
U-boats along the Atlantic coast.
The steady decline Of the German
submarine campaign is emphasized by
the official reports on sinkings and
shipbuilding for July The allied and
neutral shipping sunk during the month
amounted to 100000 tons, compared
with 53#S39 tons sunk in July, 1917.
During the month the allied nations
constructed a tonnage in excess Of
$4,000 to that destroyed by enemy op-
eratioDs.

The situation in Russia, including
Siberia, also is improving, for the
forces opposed to the bolsheviki and
the Germans are growing stronger and
amalgamating. The possibility of es-
tabliShing an eastern front that will
seriously worry the Huns is being con
sidered, especially since the supreme
government of the northern territory"
embracing half a dozen districts, has
declared itself opposed to the Germans
ANA ready to fight them. Possession
of the port OF Archangel and the Muir
man coast gives The allies an Inlet
for troops to help this movement. That
Germany recognizes the menace is evil

more soldiers from the west front to
Russia, and has ordered Finland to
prepare to make war on the people of
Murmansk and the allies there. Dis

umvirate composed of Lenine, Trotsky
and Zinoyier. Lenine also issued a
manifesto urging the pitiless annihilu-

FUNERAL OF MRS. MALE
WAS HELD YESTERDAY

The f,lreral Of Mrs Martha Male.
who passed away at her home, 1914
West Railroad street Saturday after
noon. was held yesterday afternoon
at the Brown chapel and interment
was made at the. city cemetery.
Mrs. Male, who was in her 18th
year. was a native of England. Ow.
ing to a mistake in filing out the
death certificate, the impression was
created that Mrs. Male was a coIored
woman and this led to the erroneous
item in the paper yesterday.
Mrs. Male had been a resident of
Oregon for Sc years and was a high
ly respected woman by all of her
many acquaintances in this county.
The home place is on Birch creek
but Mrs. Male had lived in Pendleton
for number Of years.
Besides her husband, she leaves to
mourn her death nine children: Sarah
~, Geinger of Pendleton. Robert
Male and John Male OF Pilot Rock.

I Eckles, Edna E. Male of Pendleton
and Tnna f. Hawke of Pilot Rock.
All but two of her children were with
her when she died.

RED CROSS ACTION
SETTLES DISPUTE
Peace RstOred When Appropriation
for Medical Research is With
drawn,

Differences of opinion that arose
between the American Red Cross and
Christian Scientists as a result of an
appropriation of 100000 by the Red
Cross for medical research, which it
was believed, might include vivisec-
tion. have been settled completely
as the result of a statement made in
Boston by Harvey d. Gibson. general
manager of the American Red Cross.
that no moneys from the Red Cross
funds should be appropriated and
that funds previously expended for
this purpose by the Red Cross would
be returned to the general fund by
member who had donated a sum espe-
cially for medical research work.
Mr.. Gibson makes It very plain that
the Red Cross does not take stand
for orr against vivisection, and that
such experimentation as army sur
geOns require viii still go on, but not
with Red Cross money.
Monitor Praises Action.
As a result Of Mr.. Gibson's state
ment. the Christian Science Monitor
says editoria1Iy:
THE Red Cross has done the right
thing, and has done Il frankly In
other words. they have arranged that
the money appropriated for medical
research and vivisection shall be re-
turned to the general fund 50 that
the stigma OF having used the funds
and the energy Of the greatest organ
Ization OF it's kind for the furtheranee
Of deeds of mercy in war shall be
blotted out
At the same time announcement
has just been made from New York
that the suit against the American
Red Cross to enjoin It from using any
OF it's funds for vivisection purposes
has been Withdrawn. This suit was
brought by ten Christian Scientists.
