LOCAL PHONE PLANT
WILL Be ENLARGED

To keep pace with the steady growth
of the telephone business in Pendle-
ton, the Pacific Telephone & Tele-
graph Co. has authorized the installa-
tion OF two additional sectional switch
boards and work has already started.
About so DAYS will be required to COM
plete the improvements.
One additional toll board and one ad-
ditional subscribers board will be in
stalled, making ten sections in all The
additions will take care of 10 addition
al toll lines and 100 additional sub
scribers' lines. Three more girls will
be employed to operate the new boards
and the load will be distributed so that
each operator will be less heavily
worked.
At the present time Pendleton has
1915 telephones and qualities probably
as the leading telephone city of its size
in the west. Baker, with n larger
population. has less than 1000 tele-
phones Each report of the company
shows the increase in the Pendleton
business greater than any other town
in its class on the coast, and the COM
pany is trying to keep pace with this
growth by adding new facilities and
equipment.
The normal number of calls receiv-
ed at the Pendleton office during "a
hour period is between 5000 and i0.-

AMSTERDAM, April 30.-Of-

being arrested and several killed.
The feeling against Germans is
becoming increasingly bitter.
Tho Austrian food scarcity may
cause the populace to sympathize
with any outbreak.
Italian cables indicated that
Germany is Tightening her grip
on Austria, keeping King Charles
enthroned to stave off a war-wear-

newspapers say Trentino lands
have been confiscated TO be dis
tFibuted among German settlers,

FLAGS OF ALL ALLIES
SHOULD Be Utilized

Because ii wounds the feelings of
native Italians, Belgians and others
born in some of the allied Countries
to see only the British and French
flags displayed with the American
flag on public occasions. the executive
committee of the Umatilla County Pa,
triotic Service League yesterday aft
ernoon adopted a resolution urging
that all committees on arrangements
for celebrations and public gatherings
use only the American flag or. il the
colors of any of our allies are used,
that the flags Of all of the allied ma
tions, so far as obtainable, be used.
The same resolution REQUESTS local
dealers to carry the flags Of an the al
lied nations, some II in number.
At a number Of local celebrations,
the American flag, flanked by the
British and French has been used. The
British and French flags are easily
obtainable whereas the flags of most
of the other allied nations are diff
cult to secure. IT was this fact rath-
er than any intentional slight that is
responsible for the absence of the
Italian, Belgian, Japanese and other
allied colors.
Some of the Italian residents in
particular have expressed themselves
as being hurt because of the oversight
inasmuch as their country, refusing
to fight with Germany and Austria
though bound to them by treaty. join
ed in the battle against kaiserism ana
has suffered much.

mot REAL SCARED BUT DID
NOT FEEL AT HOME" SAYS TOM

How would you like to be driving q
truck toward the first line trenches
and be forced by obedience to orders
to keep on going forward though you
met men and horses in mad retreat
This was the experience of former
Pendleton boy, Tom Murphy. His
first experience OF the war" he calls
it in letter 10 his younger sister, Ed
ma. incidentally he got his first taste
of gas and his first sensations of be-
ing under fire.
Here is the way he describes his ex-
peflance:
1--WE had been ready TO move for
several hours, our packs We're rolled
and our trucks loaded We finally
got orders and started. We were
about seven miles from the front and
on our way TO the place we were 60
ing, We had TO take road that ran
parallel with the trenches and about
four miles distant from the battle
front. Harve drives the first truck
and drive tlfe third one. Wei. we
were hurrying ~along the road when
we saw several Frenchmen running
in the opposite direction. And then
some teams came along on the run.
And then two wagons came down the
road on dead run. The driver of the
first wagon was whipping his horses
fer all that was in them. Then tht
next wagon came along. The driver
was bleeding heavily from the hea6
and hollering at the top of his voice
But we went on. Then came an Am
erican ambulance and. as he wei
past me he said something about the
Bosche but didn't get what he said
so we went on. Then there was

GERMAN SETBACK SHOWS
FOE FEARS EXHAUSTION

the past five weeks Hindenburg's fears
OF exhaustion OF offensive powers.
The Germans were halted In their
tracks. General won Arnim's failure
to capture Ypres must have an imme-
diate effect upon the morale OF the
German people and the army. The
people have been rejoicing, expecting
the capture OF the coast cities. Hin
denburE's $ popularity Is threatened BY
ever-increasing criticism OF bolder
Germans because OF his slaughterfest.
