DER TAG

m INSPIRING news comes
from the front. Der Tag
is surely coming to Ger
many, but in ways the reverse
of what were expected. The
enemy is not only unable to
withstand the allied onslaught,
but is seemingly breaking down
within. Internal dissatisfac-
ton and disappointment are
rapidly rising among the Ger
man people, who are gradu-
ally awakening to the fact that
they have been cruelty deceiv-
ed by their own rulers and that
they have made lasting enemies
of the entire civilized world.
They are not only awakening
in this respect, but are realiz-
ing the terrible consequences
of the worldwide Ostracism
and economic boycott which
they have brought down upon
themselves. Germany's fall is
self inflicted, and there is dra-
matte Justice in the fact, that
the policies which she aimed to
impose upon others are likely
to fall upon the German peo-.
pie themselves with crushing
force. AS despair grows in
Germany. hope strengthens
daily with the allies, and con-
fidence in victory was never
more vivid nor better founded.
Overconfidence may be dan
gerous, but peace on allied
terms is practically assured
and cannot be far distant. II

KEEP THE RESERVOIRS
FILLED

ptN ENDLETON'S best meth
- cd of defense against fire
consists in keeping the
reservoirs filled at all times,
summer and winter. The res
ervoirs have such a capacity
that if filled they afford enough
water to combat a fire almost
indefinitely. The heaviest
fire we have had in years low
cred the reservoirs only six
inches. With full reservoirs
Pendleton is a good fire risk. A
pumping plant as a auxiliary
will be of slight benefit and
might prove a drawback. That
the insurance men do not re-
gard a pump as of much use is
attested by the fact they figure
it means only a difference of
six per cent in insurance rates.
If through having a pump plant
as an auxiliary our officials in
the future grow Indifferent as
to the reservoirs the pump plant
will be worse than a needless
expense. 1t will prove a me-
mace rather than a protection.

men will be home workers by both

every class known to the country
will be represented. Many of the

Is famed will be carried on under

matters had to be borne in mind
Those not engaged in home indus|
tries will find ready employment In
the factories of Pisa.
This village, however, is only one
of the many measures employed by
the American Red Cross to assist
refugees and families of soldiers In
Italy. In practically every village
on mainland and islands Red Cross
relief is operative. The families of
over 100000 italian soldiers have
been visited and their immediate
needs supplied. In cooperation
with Italian Governmental and 9TH
er agencies, workshops. day nurs+
cries, schools, soup kitchens, cloth
ing centers, dry food shops, sewing
rooms, factories for the manufac-
ture of shoes and furniture and oth+
er needed supplies. orphan asylumss
summer camps for children, hospi
tails and dispensarles have beer
opened In many places.
Italian relief organizations have
been assisted financially to carry on
and extend their work to cope with
the refugee problem. Everywhere
behind the line these activities are
aiding in upholding the italian
fighters victory spirit. Just as surely
as are the Red Cross canteens and
rest houses for soldiers on the front
line and in the railway depots.

those of an up-to-date American

The ground for this village, which
was requisitioned by the Governor
of the province when the American
Red Cross agreed to defray the cost
of the structures to house the refu-
gees, was formally broken on May
by Major Chester Aldrich, repre-
senting the Red Cross. Italian
architects and workmen, under
American leadership, ever since
have been breaking all local con-
struction records. Many of the
houses now are ready for occupan-
