an is glad that the Eng
lish, rather than the
French, were compelled to
bear the heavy part of the re-
cent fighting at Pichrdy and in
Flanders. This because the
French have in the past been
punished more severely than
the British. France has not
only had to fight for existence
but has been confronted with
an immense refugee problem
such as has not burdened Eng
land. Figures are not avail
able on the total war losses of
the French and British but it
may be set down that all In all
the French have suffered more.
Therefore the shifting of the
burden elsewhere is welcomed
from an allied standpoint. 1t
has not been pleasant for the
British to endure the strain of
the spring offensive and at
times a slight tone of complaint
has been evident in some off
cial statements. However, the
British are good sportsmen
and they will not finch at do
ing their duty as it arises. In
this case there will be consola-
ton for their suffering in the
fact it is better for the allied
cause that they rather than the
French be under the gun.

Many makes of trucks are produced in units of
larger rated capacity than the DUPLEX 31a-ton
Truck But we will waive this advantage, too, and
enter against any truck up to and including tons

The bore and stroke of the DUPLEX are only
All by 51@ inches, but we will allow our original
capacity irrespective Of size of motor, so long as
the vehicle is a standard stock model
We are not basing our estimates of the DU-

on its ability to go through Pass Creek Canyon
under its own power and its showing on county
road work in dragging scarifiers.

We BELIEVE that the DUPLEX is the best
truck built. THINKING doesn't cost cent, but
BELIEVING is apt to run into real money.
This is the reason we have decided to donate
$3.50 to any war cause charity designated by any
Pendleton Truck Dealer whose stock equipment
will carry and trail load of similar weight, over
the same route Travelled by a DUPLEX TRUCK,
providing that they agree to contribute like ann

We do not ask that they pull more or go where
the DUPLEX cannot, but only to equal the DU-
PLEX performance.

ceptance of our offer.

Fridie Takes Stand-Battle to
clear Charles II. Fridie of man
slaughter charge, resulting from
the accident at Pleasant and Brady
streets on March 81 last, opened
in criminal court yesterday morn
ing, when the defendant took the
witness stand and sought to eX-
plain in detail just what occurred
and how his auto came to strike
the boy and his aunt, killing the
child and injuring the woman. IN
the man Fridie told a straightfor-
ward story on direct examination
He explained that the machine
was new; the spark plugs and ig-
milton system were not working
properly, and that jog where
Pleasant street intersects Brady
confused him as to just where the
street car intended to stop and
caused him to misjudge the dis
lance by at least 100 feet. To sum
up Fridie's defense the accident
would not have occurred had not
Fridie's foot slipped off the brake
pedal as he approached the car,
allowing the auto TO move forward
sufficiently to strike the woman
and child.
