WASHINGTON. Jan. Rear Ad-

that the torpedoing of the transport
Antilles was due to navy negligence.
The news leaked out today. F'Ietch-

1t is understood he did not believe
he had sufficient convoy at his dis

F. A. SCHIFFLER TO
Be A TAILOR AGAIN

After having been out of the tall
cring business for six years, f. A.
Schiller has gone back to his old love
and will open up i'm business again in
Tendleton. He has secured half of
the front portion of the +. l.. Power
harness store on Main street and
workmen are already engaged in fit
ting up his room for business.
Mr.. Schiller was one o. the pioneer
tailors of Pendleton. havuS conduct
ed a tailoring business Tor % years
on Court street before retiring. When
he quit. he intended spending the rest
of his life having a good time. After
three years of 1t he discovered the ola
secret that the only happy man is a
busy one and he purchased the Bos-
ton store which he recently closed
out.

Outlines Initial Steps Neces-
sary to Success of Nc
AdOO's Administration in
Addressing Joint Session
NO APPROPRIATION
ASKED AT THIS TIME
Seeks to Quiet Possible I'm
rest Likely From Govt's
Sweeping Action.

WASHINGTON. Jan. president
Wilson, addressing the joint session
OF congress today asked it to give him
tull and unrestricted powers to con-
duct the federal operation of rail
roads. He outlined the initial steps
necessary TO the success of McAdoo' =
administration. He said the action
already taken was necessary to Sc
cure "A complete mobilization of the
hole resources of America by the
rapid. most effective means possible,
Irlvate interests must for the present
give way to public necessity He
asked for the necessary means of pro-
tectlng the interests of railroad stock
holders; measures to protect travel
crs and private shippers compensa-
tion for railroads based on the aver
age rate of operating Income for the
past three years.
Asks No Appropriation.
1T is probably too much to expect
that even under unified railway ad-
ministration. sufficient economies can
be effected to make it possible to add
Ia their equipment. and extend the
operative facilities as much as the
present extraordinary demands rem
der desirable without Tesorting to the
nationl treasury for funds ne said,
but he did not ask an, appropriation,
stating that McAdoo would confer
With proper committees regarding
this point. 1t was IA plain business
message which he was fifteen minutes
IN delivering.
Seeks to Quiet Unrest.
Wilson obviously sought TO quiet
the possible unrest likely to result
from the governments sweeping ac-
tion. ITS OF the utmost importance
to the government itself that all the
great financial organizations be sta
hilized and coordinated with the gov
ernment's financial operations. No
borrowing should run athwart the
borrowings of the federal treasury,
no fundamental industrial values
should anywhere be unnecessarily i'm
paired. The ten or eleven billions
invested for securities by many thou .
sands of small investors as well as fl
nancial institutions OF all kinds must
constitute the vital part of the struc.

ditions Is classed as a tribute to the

More Houses Needed.
Inability of employees to secuA
houses in which to live has been big
source Of trouble, it was reported by
Mr.. Blewett. 1t was pointed out thar
not a house is available and that eA-
tCrtionate rates are being charged for
small apartments The need of erect
ing more houses for use of the men
and their families was pointed out as
imperative if the plant is retained
here.
Farmers Want Service.
A feature Of the meeting last even
ing was the enthusiasm shown by
number Of prominent local farmers
who have been using Blewett harvest
ers and pronounce it a success. They
declared that under actual working
tests it has shown superiority over all
other machines of similar size and
they expressed resentment at any plan
totake the factory away from Pen
dleton. This because the farmers may
secure better service from Pendles
ton plant than they could should the
plant be located in Portland. During /
the past harvest the plant was kept I

many cases proved a great conven-

GERMAN SOLDIERS
Eager TOQU|T Job
Prisoners Taken by Ameri-
cans Tire Of Marching and
Sleeping in Mud.
DYING MANS STATEMENT
BY HERBERT CoREY.

WITH THE AMERICANS. August Is.
Three hundred-odd German prisoners
marched down the shaded road which
leads from the Bots de Belleau toward
town on the Marine. They we're caught
by the famous fighting unit which
cleaned the wood Of Germans. The CEN
sor no longer permits me to use this
organizations name.
Hello. America several called az
they passed.
Others laughed. Others called unfn-
telligle things in German and still 9TH
ers laughed. It was the cheeriest, most
jorial. jolliest bunch Of prisoners one
could imagine: They looked as prison
ers always do in their wrinkled suits of
faded gray-green and their shapeless
fatigue caps, but they were happy. They
smiled and nodded as they passed along.
Perhaps half of them BOXED back at
US, and perhaps half Of that half grin
ned.
What's the answer?
The answer is that the German SOL
der is thoroughly sick Of the war. He
is tired to his very soul. He wants to
quit fighting and sleeping in mud and
going hungry and being shot at by an
enemy that refuses to quit. Ahead of
these men marched the living symbol
Of the force that keeps their comrades
in line and fighting. He. was a big
Prussian officer, broad shouldered and
arrogant. Two men guarded him, while
half dozen were sufficient to herd the
300 along the road.
He will not walk with his men," said
one of his guards. He says they smell
