AIM Of SOCIETY IS
TO HELP FATHERLESS
Education Of French Orphans
Is Noble Purpose of Branch
Formed Here.

There has been organized In this city
a branch known gs the Fathcrlcss
Children OF France. over 100 OF tho
cities In the United States have be-
come affiliated with this splendidly
constructive movement. II is estimated
that fully 10000 fathers OF France
have given thoIr lives for their coun-
try and civilization In this titanic
struggle. They were called suddenly
and unexpec adly into the service with
no opportunity TO make provision for
their families. As consequence, the
need of mlnIstering TO these fatherless
children has been increasing, rs the
weeks and months have gone by.
The following taken from one OF the
leaflets OF the society embodies tae
appeal and explains tho methods OF the
society:
The manhood Of France Is dying to
defeat militarism. On the battlefield

young sons II tho old France, forced

ounce OF energy and manhood In the

No greater work can be done for
France than to give these children the
chance of which the,r fathers death
has deprived. Their plight is an emer-
Eency which must be met Immediately,

SUBSCRIBERS DOUBLE
THE NUMBER OF End
LIBERTY LOAN DRIVE
Committee Work Proves Eff
fective; Figures May Be
Available This Evening.

There is little doubt that both PEN
dleton and the county as a whole are
over the top in the Liberty loan drive.
The figures at present are not obtain
able but will probably be ready this
evening.
1t is estimated that one Of the big
results OF the committee work during
this campaign will be that the number
OF subscribers to this loan win be
double the number OF those holding
bonds Of the second issue.
Some yellow cards are coming In
but these win be carefully checked to
guard against any error on the part Of
the soliciting committee. before they
are finally reported to the Patriotic
league. Nearly everyone, able in any
way to take a share in the loan Is do
ing so with the greatest satisfaction.
Most of the Pendleton committees
have completed their work but strag-
glars are stiIl coming into the banks.
No further reports on the towns out
side have been received by w. L.

turned this morning from Portland.

WASHINGTON, April s.-Colonel
Edgar of the signal corps has made ar
rangements for the board of officers
on the Pacific coast to examine the
availability of Herniston and Medford
as aviation sites. colonel Edgar warns
that his should not lead to the con-
clusion that projects are authorised
which "are not yet contemplated"
According to word from Washington,
D. c., a board Of officers has been
named by the signal corps to inspect
the site offered at Hermiston for an
aviation training camp. The inspec-
tion will be made at an early date, and,
at the same time. the board will make
an examination of proposed site at
Medford.
The members Of the board Of officers
are stationed OF this coast, so the In
spection may be expected to be made

ed by an officer from the headquarters
of the Pacific division at San Francisco
and a report made as to its desirability
for an infantry or artillery camp. All
the members OF the Oregon delegation
who have inspected the site have prom
ised support for the proposed camp.
