WASHINGTON CONFIDENT
Capital Believes British and French Will Administer Hard Blows When Proper Moment Arrives.

Will Administer Hard Blows When
 Proper Moment Arrives.
 Washington, March 26.-Full con- fidence in the ability of the Entente forces to hold their own in the great battle and that at the proper mom- ent, after having fallen back to their previously prepared lines, strong counter -offensives will be lauched, is felt in Washington.
 The air of confidence in military and official circles was notable today. It was felt around the White House and the War Department and was evident at the British and French mbassies. At both these Embas- sies confidential information was re- ceived which was declared to be ground for the belief that the British line had merely yielded under terrific pressure and that the line would hold. This confidence was reflected in the message which President Wilson sent to Field Marshal Haig, express ing admiration of the splendid stead fastness and valor with which the British troops had withstood "the German onslaught and the "perfect confidence all Americans feels that you will win a secure and final vic- tory It. was evident in the testi- mony which Major Gen. Leonard Wood gave before the Senate Military Affairs Committee, in which he ex- pressed the belief that the British line would hold and that at the proper time the Entente would strike back hard and effectively at the enemy It was also reflected in a brief oral statement by Major Gen. March, the Acting Chief of Staff, last night that there was nothing in the situation over which the American people should be alarmed.

SACRIFICE The THING
Word Is True Definition of Patri-
otiSm
Assertion of Sergeant Davis, Speaker
In Ninth District Fourth Lib
erty Bond Campaign.

Sergeant Leslie W. Davis, who halls
from Kentucky, and Is a veteran of the
philippines and Cuba and Of the
trenches in France and who is a
speaker on the war exhibit trains
touring the Ninth Federal District, is
q reticeGt mar in private life but once
he starts talking war he brings the
Liberty Loan money out Of hiding
places in a golden stream.
Davis answered the call to the
Colors in August, 1917, and went to
France in December with Co. Il, 81
Engineers and saw active service all
along the line, but gas and s~hell-shock
temporarily wound up his fighting ca
ieer and he was shipped home to
talk for Liberty Loans.
When he landed in Ninth District
headquarters, Minneapolis, he did not
act like a speaker for he simply gave
his name and credentials and said he
was ready FOR service. An effort was
made to get him to talk but nobody
could get a rise out Of him. Finally
he was asked point blank:
Davis, what do you say to a man
who could afford to buy a Liberty
bond and doesn't?"
The fire leaped to his y his hair
seemed to bristle, he bounded out of
his chair and launched into an extern
poraneous grafton which trilled every.
n in district headquarters. When
Davis was through the tears were
running down his checks, he was shak-
Ing like a leaf, and it was necessary
to lead him to a chair. No one re-
members all he said but they all
remember his last sentence:

IN CONGRESS
AT the Present Time This Organ
ixation. Being Directed as It
Now Is Exclusively by a Small
Group Of Socialists, is a Distinct
Menace to Our Nation" Says
Congressman Miller.

A heated attack on the Non-par-
tisan league, which has gained a foot
hold In Iowa, South Dakota and
Nebraska, was made In a speech Sat-
urday by Congressman C. E. Miller.
OF Minnesota.
THE whole institution" Congress
man Miner sage Of the league, has
come to be q sinister influence in our
national life-a menace to all our
war work.
Many men have Joined this league
not knowing It's ssditfous character"
Congressman Miller continued
Many have Joined 1t who themselves
have not been exactly lacking in pa
triotism. They have. however. at
once found themselves among evil in
huences and many Of them have been
led sadly astray. The rush to its
membership comes from those of pro.
German sympathies."
The Non-partisan league was or
ganized In North Dakota two or three
years ago and at first was concern
cd with purely local and economic
questions In which farmers were In
terestsd. Mr.. Miller explained.
Requires Attention Of Nation.
But" he said, "since this country
entered the war II has taken a new
direction. extending its activities over
several states and by reason OF the
character Of its doctrines requires
the Immediate attention Of the au-
thoritiss Of the nation.

Mr.. Miller charged that the league
has organized all the pro-German ele-
ments in Minnesota in is member
ship in an effort to elect former
Congressman Charles A. L~indbergh
as governor. He quotes from a book
by Lindbergh filed with anti-war
propaganda ard says ii is incredible
that any persons allowed to be at
large in the United States could en-
terrain or express such views"
Congressman Miller gives a long
list Of officers and organizers of the
Non~partisan league who have been
arrested or indicted for seditious ut
terances or for obstructing military
policies. He said that A. c. Town
lev, national head Of the league,
claims to have forces operating in
eleven states and threatens to control
these states with the unlimited money
at the leagues command.
Warns American Farmers.
LET no farmer be begulied into
reason of honeyed talk about an
economic program" Congressman
Miller pleaded in closing his speech.
"The nation is at war. Every
thought should be devoted to the war,
every act to the successful prosecu-
ton Of the war. United we will
win. United we must be. Economic
problems can we'll afford to be side
tracked until working together we
have won the war, At the present
time this organization, being directed
as 1t now Is exclusively by a small
group of socialists, Is a distinct men
ace to our nation. Let every American
citizen take notice and govern him
self accordingly."-Gregory County

CLEAN UP,

Heppner got in the habit a few
years ago of observing a cleanup
day at least once year, usually in
the spring. During the stress of war
activities and a multitude of other
work, we have fairly lost sight of the
value of keeping clean. "Clean up
and paint up" like that old pre-war
slogan swat the fly" are tried and
true mottos that need rejuvenating.
Many are the dirty back yards that
need to feel the weight of the rake
and shovel. We ought to stop for
minute in our mad rush to win the
war and take that time in making
things clean and sanitary. 1t might
be that we are overlooking some of
the vital things so necessary to our
peace and prosperity.

BE PREPARED FOR GRAIN FIRES.

The state fire marshal is sending
out number of fire warnings to the
Oregon public as the dry season of
the year approaches, and every effort
will be made to reduce the yearly loss
from this source.
The fire marshal says the most eff
fective means of subduing grain field
fire is thorough cooperative organi-
zation between the farmers and the
zones which would embrace an agri-
scheme is to organize community fire
zones which would embace an agri-
cultural area within a radius of ten
miles in all directions from the near
tst town or settlement Once organ
ized by mass meeting of citizens
and farmers, the rest is easy Fire
fighting equipment is the first thing
to assemble, says the fire marshal. 1t
could consist of water-tight barrels,
buckets, old sacks. blankets, quilts
or cast-off clothing, shovels and
spades, these all collected and placed
at a central point would be of quick
and easy access to the fire fighters
and the organization once perfected
would be great insurance against
destructive fires.
Eternal vigilance around ware
houses, a handy ladder always near
in order that the walls of the build
ing may be quickly scaled to extin-
guish a fire on the roof, caused from
flying sparks, are admonitions of the

monishes the employer to be careful
