ACKNOWLEDGMENT
WORKERS IN THE WAR WORK
CAMPAIGN OUT TODAY

You bet, As much of my money
as the boys need they can have"
This was The response made by
one man. when the solicitors for the
United War Work campaign called
on him this morning. Many others
were just as enthusiastic. The gen
eral opinion among those approached
by the solicitors was that now that
tie army has so successfully accomp-
lished the task assigned it, they are
entitled to the best of everything un
ill they get back home. 1t seems TO
be generally admitted that ii will
take from one to two years to return
all the American forces now in
Europe.
The workers in the city were out
in force this morning. One or two
teams whose members are down with
influenza were unable to start this
morning. but their work will be taken
up by others. and the campaign will
be crowded to a successful conclu-
sion.
The influenza epidemic and a late
start are two handicaps that w, III,
Detamore is laboring hard to over :
come In his handling of the "Victory
Boys" campaign, Supplies have
been sent out through the county. and
he hopes to accomplish substantial
results. in spite of the handieaps,
The Y, NJ, g, A. and the six other
organizations are already laying
plans for their work during the period
OF rehabilitation, All agree that
the burden placed upon these agen i,
eies II greater than ever, and that
the need for funds In such that a
quarter of a billion dollars viii be
none too much,

SAVE BASEBALL STUFF FIRST
Such Was Decision of Yanks Caught
In Tight Corner and Ordered
to Retreat.

Paris.-Next to rifle, ammunition
and canteen, American soldiers seem
to rank baseball supplies among the
list of the necessities of life in the
front lines. At least such was the de-
clsion Of Yankee unit operating
with the French forces lately. It hap
pened that this unit got into avery hot
corner and the order came to retreat.
The necessity for haste made 1t i'm
possible for the men to carry much
with them in the way of personal be-
longIngs, but when they arrived at a
station out Of immediate danger it
was found that the baseball parapher-
MALTA had been saved, while many
kinds Of personal belongings had been
sacrificed. =
The balls and gloves had been fur
nished by the Y. M. @. A. and the men
took 1t upon themselves to carry them
In preference to their own little lux
urles.
As soon as the unit had reached a
quiet place the supplies were turned
over to the Y. M. G. A. secretary, who
was Immediately called on to reissue
them for game. The tide Of war
ebbs and flows apparently, but base
ball goes on forever. Z 4

THEO|LCOMPAN|ES
ARE ENOTJUST|F|ED.

Some time ago the Standard OH
company refused to deliver gasoline to
Zerba Bros. at the Athena Garage.
for the reason that the proprietHrs did
not see fit to observe rules laid down
by the company, not to sell gasoline or
distillate from 8 p. m. to 9 a. nj and
on Sundays.
Thee company shut the sale Of gas
oline completely off and the proprietors
after the company decided to let them
have gasoline and distillate again.
gave their orders to the Union oil
company at Walla Walla, and continued
to receive the Union product until,they
leased the garage to Mr.. Lininger.
Since Mr.. Lininger took possession of
the garage, the Standard people have
resumed supplying their product.
That oil companies were not justified
in their recent action Of refusing to
sell gasoline and dstillate to garages
unless the dealer agreed not to sell
from 9 p. m. to a. M, and on Sundays,
claiming authority from the Fuel Ad-4
ministration for so doing, is the deci-,
sion rendered by the oil division Of the
United States Fuel Administration at
Washington, to which Fuel Adminis-l
traitor Fred j. Holmes submitted the,
matter. 3
N. B. Beecher, council for the oil
division, said in a letter to Mr.. Holiness,
dated November 81: VA Il

HUN SHELLS ARE BAL
From so to 10 Per Cent Fail to
Explode. B
During Marine Retreat the Germans
Used Old Stuff to Keep Up
a A; Morale. \

With the American Army in Frances
American artillery officers estimated
recently that at certain stages Of the
German retreat north of the Marne
from so to 70 per cent of the shells
fred by the enemy failed to explode,
One night, after the Germans crossed
the Vesle the enemy fired 72 shells
Of large caliber into a wooded tract
where American troops were supposed
to be quartered and artillery experts
of one of the divisions engaged re-
ported that only four of these shells
had exploded.
None of the American officers sug-
gested that the German shells were de-
teriorating. There had been day after
day Of rain during the retreat, and 1t
was believed possible that in the with
drawal the Germans had not been able
to take the usual precautions against
dampness, the result being that many
projectiles from some of the big guns
failed to do anything more than strike
the earth with a thud.
One officer suggested that possibly
the Germans had been firing old shells
rather than no shells at all, the off,
GERS realizing that only few of them
were exploding, but preferring to keep
the big guns pounding away merely In
an effort to keep up the morale of the
men putting up the rear-guard fight.
The average number of faulty shells
is generally from to 6 per cent.

OFFICERS IN RAID
GET LIQUOR STOCK.

Armed with search and seizure war
rants, Sheriff T. D. Taylor. Deputy
Marin and Federal Officer Oftedal. en-
tered the home of Homer I. Watts
Wednesday evening and seized over
400 quarts of liquor.
The. seizure was made on warrants
issued from the Office of Justice of the
Peace Parkes. of Pendleton, on COM
plant based on charges of maintaining
a common nuisance. 1t is reported that
other premises were searched but no
liquor was found. The liquor was TAX
en- by the officers to Pendleton where
it will be held until some disposition is
made by the court. s4
Watts refused to comment on the
liquor seizure. but it appears to be a
general opinion here that he purchased
it before the prohibition law went into
effect. This belief. in a measure. is
substantiated by the fact that about
the time the law went into effect, it
became known that he had liquor in
his possession when one night his cell
lar was raided and case of whiskey
was stolen. The man who took it was
apprehended and portion of the liq-
uor recovered.

to carry daily reports from camp to

Along his route were civilian rnechan-

always seemed to be getting ready to
work, usually measuring a piece Of
pipe or looking at 1t.
One day the soldier stopped and
looked on. The workman noticed him,
and after laying the piece Of pipe care
