UMATILLA CHAPTERS
WORK FOUND Perfect
Mrs. Cox Brings Back
Splendid Report From
Seattle Institute.

Red Cross work sent to the North
west headquarters from the Umatilla
chapter has always been found so per-
feet in every detafI, that hereafter
cases sent from this chapter will not
be held for inspection at Seattle but
will go from there directly to the
hospitals wheresoever needed, in
France and elsewhere This fact was
brought out In a report read to the
executive committee yesterday by
Mrs. A. II. Cox. chairman of the hos
pital garments section. who has just
returned from the divisional institute
at Seattle.
Mrs. Cox's report follows I'm full:
'Tt was my pleasure to attend the
Divisional School, held in Seattle,
Washington, May GIL, 1918.
while there was nothing partlcu-
larly new offered, yet the Inspiration
OF the large number of earnest work
ers assembled together in this great
cause. was one long to be remem-
bered.
II found that our. work as hereto
fore sent in was of such quality and
so perfect in cut, making and finish
as well as count, bundling,. packing
casing and marking, that as conse-
quence, we are to be issued green
cards" to be attached on the outside
OF the cases shipped from here I'm the
future. These cases will then go di-
rect from our workrooms to the hos
pitals wheresoever needed. via Seattle,
1t be TO France or elsewhere
This is a compliment to Umatilla
County Chapter that / am proud 20
bring home. And this compliment is
shared by all the various departments
OF our work.
IAN told the visit Of our represen-
tatives to the Divisional school Will
prove OF untold value to the work Of
the Red Cross OF this county.
There is one matter desire TO
and that is of the folding of

new instructions about this. and will
forward them at once to all the aux
liaries. BY this method the garments |
nj the cases perfectly. There are
different measurements of folding for |
each style of garment, which must
be followed faithfully, to keep our
record for perfect work. But know

the present Red Cross drive is that
the ratings made by the league are
great deal lower than in the drive
Of a year ago.
This has been made possible on the
theory that everybody viii gladly give
what they are requested. II is i'm.
portant that there shall be no slack
ers In the contributions.
In some parts OF the county pre-
cinct chairmen have started the drive
believing in getting an early start.
and by the time set for the official
opening viii find their work pretty
well finished Ralph Reser, chair
man for Cottonwood precinct. is sta
toned at the polls today, and each
voter Is given an opportunity to con-
tribute his mite for the cause or
humanity through the Red cross. be-
fore he IS handed ballot.

dians and reports that he Is meeting

VOTING IS LIGHT AT !.
PRIMARY ELECTION

But for the occasional notice post
ed about the city calling for the pri-
mary election to be held today a per-
son on the streets Of Pendleton today
would hardly know that this is the all
important time for a large number
OF aspirants for office.
An indication that few even know
1t is election day Is reflected In the
small number voting. Unless there
Is a larger turnout OF voters during
the afternoon 1t is safe to say the vote
in the city IL not throughout the coun.
ty will be less than SO per cent Of the
registration. In one OF the west
Pendleton precincts the polls were
open for more than an hour before
vote was cast At the court house az
noon there had been a total OF 33
votes cast. This number out OF q
registration for the precinct OF 2s0.
At the city hall when the polls were
closed at 1 o'clock for the board 20
go to dinner there had been 2s votes
cast. At IL o'clock az Lincoln school,
precinct a.. there had been only IL
votes polled.
This seems TO be the condition az
all voting places in the city. There
are so many other things demanding
the attention -of people that there
seems 10 be a tendency among voters
10 let candidates settle election mat
,ers among themselves. At least cam
iidates seem to be the only ones with

BRING GREATEST FIGHT OF WAR

GLASGOW. May 17.-As a climax
of four years of cumulative effort the
Germans are about to deliver the
wars greatest blow, says General
Smut.
The Boer war hero declared 'the
enemy is determined to split the
French and British armies and seize
the channel ports. realizing the war
is over If the British army can be
beaten.
The enemy has a new incentive in
driving toward Calais and Dunkirk
because their bases at Zeebrugge and
Ostend have beer rendered useless by
British raids. The offensive has
brought unity of the allies command
for which Britain is indebted to
Lloyd George. He is a real, live man.
and rose to the crisis. We do not
abolish Germany for indemnity but
for liberty and the safeguarding of
all nations rights. and lasting peace
U-boats can not get American trans
ports although the submarine policy
was undertaken on the theory that n
the U-hoats forced America into the
war they would prevent her troops
reaching Europe.
But the Americans are coming by
thousands. by tens OF thousands
might say BY hundreds Of thousands
every month; therefore there Is no
doubt about the result" said smut
