NEW YORK, Jan. 3.-Germany's

tionnist plans on the part Of the cen
trail powers and are unacceptable to
Russia in their present form, the Boil
sheviki delegates reported to the sol
diers' and workmens council on their
return from Brest-Litovsk to Petrograd
Previous reports that the negotia-
lions had been broken off appear err
roneous in view of the context of this
statement, which takes a resumption
of the parleying for granted.
1t is declared, however, that is case
the German delegates insist upon their
terms Russia will not make peace
with the German imperalists." Her
peace will be made with representa-
tives OF the people, the German social
lists" the spokesman for the Russian
delegates insisted, with evident refer
ence to the Often-eXpressed hope of the
Bolsheviki for social revolution in
Germany.
From other reports it appears that
the Bolsheviki detected anneXationist
purposes on the part Of the Germans in
the proposition by the latter that the
central powers troops should not be
withdrawn from Poland, Lithuania and
Courland, the Russians holding that it
was impossible for those provinces
freely to choose their own political
destiny til every German soldier hadd
left their territory

VIII Ask 100000 for
Project Improvements
(East oregonlan speelal.l :

HERMISTON. Dec. Il.--A verS
important meeting of the directors OF
the umatdlla Water Users Association
was held at Hermiston Tuesday
evening, Several matters of great
Importance were considered. The
chief one is that of an enlargement
and Improvement by concrete lining
OF the main distrihutary OF the Uma-
tilla project. Because of the great
development strides being taken by
the project and the consequent need
of ample water during the long grow
ing season greater canal capacity is
very desirable. Canal losses from
seepage and the growth of moss add
to the need of enlargement and linz
ing. 1t is estimated that such im-
provements will cost approximately
100000 and the securing of this ap-
preparation from the government
constitutes the first step in the as
sociation's effort. Another important
matter to be acted upon is the change
from n rental basis to a water right
basis of the lands on the North Hin
commonly known as the Sandy Area.
These lands have had a trial of five
years of renting water at a very low
rate. The disposition of the rest Ca
the project seems to be that these
lands should now take out water
rights and assume a larger share in
the burdens of the project. 1t is un-
derstood, however. that the directors
of the association favor an operation
and maintenance charge for these
lands much more favorable than that
borne by the rest of the project.
Whatever recommendation is made by
the directors will probably determine.

Camp Meade, Maryland,
November 20, 1918.
Dear Friends:
received your interesting letter a
short ime ago and will answer it this
evening. This is the day after
Thanksgiving and am feeling fine
after our big Thanksgiving dinner,
which 1 will tell you about first. We
certainly opened our eyes when we
saw what we had for dinner and it
was one of he grandest meals a man
ever sat down to. And this is what
we had: Turkey and dressing, sweet
potatoes. corn, turnips, peas, lettuce,
bread and butter, mince pie, cocoa
nut pie (and a quarter to each), cake
in great big pieces, sweet pickles, ap-
pies, grapes and nuts, coffee and ci-
der. cigars and cigarettes and oranges
and bananas. Don't you think this
was some feed?
managed to get away with hind
leg and a Hopper of turkey and
everything else in proportion. We
ate until we could eat no more and
then lounged or slept the rest of the
day. We have been having some
chilly weather with a north wind, but
today is some better.
The boys are all feeling fine, and
wondering when we will be sent home.
But we don't expect to b eturned
loose before spring, If then, as we are
in the Laffatte division.
We had football game yesterday
Thanksgiving and the westerners
sure put it over the others. to 21. 1t
was certainly an interesting game.
I Will not be able to bring you the
promised souvenir as the war has
closed, before we got to go across.
We would sure have been over there
if it had not been for the flu, caus-
ing us to be in quarantine so long.
But we are thankful everything is
over and ended so well. Sorry to hear
that Joe Despair was wounded at the
last but hope it was not serious. I am
glad that good luck was with him
through it all. He will have some
thing to tell the people when he gets
back.
You may think everything is high
there, but not near as high there as
here. We regret to hear of Lou Cas-
teers death. He will always be re-
membered by those who knew him. |
