Paris, August 7.--Fleld Marshal
Won Hindanburg and General Luden-
dorff, in order to stimulate the de-
pressed morale at home, intend to
strike a blow against the British
front in conjunction with the German
fleet, usually well informed sources
here insist. An order issued by the
new chief Of the German admiralty
staff, Admiral Scheer, is said to ex-
press the wish that the fleet attack
the British naval forces.
The Germans, it is believed, are
putting their heavy artillery in place
and digging themselves in between
the Vesle and the Aisne to defend
their positions as long as possible.
The allies are Obliged to bring up
their heavy guns before pressing the
offensive.

Czerninl Made Secret Visit
TO InfOrce Rumanian Peace

the arrival here OF the American
Red Cross mission to Rumania,
Count Czernin's visit was known
only in the highest Sofficial circles
and the fac, that 1t was made Is re-
vealed now for the first time through
correspondent Of the Associated
Press who accompanied the mission.
The reason for the visit was that the
Germans end Austrians had deter
mined to bring to a speedy conclu-
sion the negotiations with Rumania
and had decided that threat de-
llvered In person by the head of the
Austro- Hungarian foreign oftlce
would be more effective than reams
of documents.
So Count Czernin was sent on the
errand. lie arrived in Jassy about
February % and went straight TO lhe
king. His manner was stern, uh-
bending, ruthless. He told the KING
biuntly that Rumania must con,
clude peace on Germany's terms ana

no further delays and unless Ku-
mania consented to this program the
central powers purposed issuing a
ukase deposing the Rumanian royai

PARIS, April 2o.-The German
administrators in Belgium have suf-
fered another bitter disappointment
In their efforts to rid themselves OF
the secret Belgian newspaper Ia
Lbre Belgiquo. which has stung.
ridiculed and laughed at them ever
since they occupied the territory, of
the brave little kingdom. with every
evidence of pleasure the Germans
announced recently that they had al
rested three Belgian priests. Dales,
Denis and Martin, and three CIVILIANS
and that they had behind the bars
the editors, publishers, printers and
distributors OF the secret paper. One
OF the priests, Denis. was condem ned
TO death. according to information
received by the Belgian government
The others received prison sentences
aggregating many years.
Next morning brand new copy
OF La Libre Belgique was in II usual
place in the letter box OF Baron Won

Belgium. and the publication has ap-
peared irregularly since. The death

10 the holy see, but 1t did not repre-

Archbishop Harry added.
He continued:
"If they appeal to tho holy see 1t
ia not the irish bishops who will suf-
fer"
The Irish bishops had interfered In
the conscripton issue. he declared,
because conscription raised moral
and religious questions.

ENJOYED THEIR VISIT HERE

Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Blackman de-
parted Monday for Portland and ex-
pect to spend about month in that
city before going ON to San Francisco.
Mr.. and Mrs. Blaekman enjoyed a
very pleasant visit among their
friends and relatives in Heppner
during the past three weeks. and ex-
poet that they will return here at re-
gular Intervals In the future. The
one distressing feature of their So
jonrn in Heppner, was the witness
ing of the disastrous fire on the
Fonrth. Having been so long identi-
fed with the community, Mr.. and
Mrs. Blackman fee1 very keenly this
blow. and their sympathy goes out
to the sufferers, many of whom were
old time friends of theirs.
Mr.. B1acknan informs us that all
the interests they have in the world
outside OF their boys, are located at
Heppner. This place is home to them
and they have lot of faith in the fu-
ture of the city. This has been man
nestrsi oy the purchasing of an addi-
tional interest in the Henry Heppner
estate. While here, Mr.. Blackman
took over a number of shares in the
estate belonging to heirs living at q
distance and he stated to this paper
that ii was their intention purchase
more. 1t is gratifying to have people
who made their money in Heppner in
the years gone by. still show theil
faith in the town by keeping that
money at work here, and this is what
Mr.. Blackman is doing. Further
more. he is supporting our quotas In
the Red Cross, Liberty Loan, w. S. S
and other war activities. Mr.. Black
man states that SO long as he lives he
will call Heppner home.

SERVICE FLAG DEDICATED

A beautiful service was held at
the Christian church on Sunday even
ing last in honor Of the men in tho
Army and Navy, from the homes Of
the church, or who were members of
the congregation. The Service Flag,
prepared and presented to the church
by the ladies of the c. w. B. M. con-
tanned 26 stars, and the presentation
speech was made by Mrs. Gertrude
Parker. There was roll call by E.
r. Huston, to which responses were
made by the parents and relatives
and friends present, giving a brief
account of the men in the service,
where located and just what branch
of the service they were engaged In.
The flag contained one yellow star,
in memory of Harper Stewart, enlist
ed in the navy and who died of pneu-
monia at Mare Island, Calf, a short
9 time after his enlistment. The en-
tire program was very impressive and
was worthy of the attention of much
larger audience than was present.

lone REQ GRO IS HAD
| NICE 4TH CELEBRATION

The celebration at lone on the
Fourth passed off in a very pleasant
manner. 1t was carried out under
the direction of the lone Red Cross
chapter and no preparation had been
made for a spread-eagle affair. The
attendance was good, quite a number
gong down from Heppner, and. the
program featured many interesting
events. The address in the forenoon
BY j. W. Brewer of Portland, was
perhaps the leading feature. Mr..
Brewer delivered the address at the
celebration at lone a year ago, and
felt highly eomplimented in being
called to officate in this capacity
again this year. 1t was a speech full
OF patriotism and good sense; the
Stacker and pro-German got. his with
out any mincing of words, and we are
sure that all who heard Mr.. Brewer
could understand fully what he
meant. Dinner was served in the
basement of the Christian church by
the Red Cross, and supper also, and
when all events had been pulled off
and the results counted up, the Red
Cross was ahead almost $500. Hav-
ing to leave early in the afternoon,
our representative did not get de-
tailed report on the program, and the
receipts were perhaps cut a little
short by large numbers of the people
rushing up to Heppner when they
received word of the big fire. The
Red Cross ladies naturally feel proud
OF the results, however, and appreci-
ate the splendid crowd their efforts
broaght together

der New Fire Truck.

Being extremely agitated over the
matter of the recent fire losses in the
city, a meeting was called at the Star
Theater on Saturday evening last to
consider the matter of additional fire
protection for Heppner.
w. B. Barratt was chosen chair
man of the meeting and ]. ]. Nys Sec
retary.
A motion was made by w. P. Ma
honey that a committee of five be
appointed to examine into fire condi-
tions, the extension Of fire limits. and
the placing of new hydrantsr and to
make report thereon to the city coun-
Gil. This motion carried and M. D.
Clark, E. M. Shut, s. e. Notson, M.
L. Case and Chas. Thomson were ap-
pointed. BY motion of s. E. Notson,
Mike Curran was added to this COM
mittee.
Upon motion of w. A. Richardson
the committee was instructed to re-
port to the city council the advisable
ity of appointing a fire chief for the
city. Meeting then adjourned.
A special meeting of the city coun-
Gil was called on Wednesday even
ing to hear the report of the above
committee. This meeting was also
attended by Capt. Geo. w. Stokes,
deputy fire marshal, who presented
his report on conditions as he found
them upon his survey of the city two
weeks ago.
After hearing the reading of these
two reports and some discussion from
the committee and members of the
council, 1t was unanimouly agreed to
adopt the recommendation made
and to at once order an auto fire
truck and 400 feet Of new hose. The
truck will cost between $4,000 and
$500 and will be fully equipped to
co~~v hose. ladders, etc, as we'll Of
having two 40-gallon chemical tanks

recommended by Capt. Stokes who
has been a member of the Portland
fire department for the past thirteen
years.
From the report of the committee
1t was learned that Mike Curran had
been temporarily appointed fire chief
The cornell confirms his appointment
and 1t will be officially made at the
regular meeting of the council or
Monday eveing next and his salary
fixed Mr.. Curran is well qualified
for the position as he served many
years in this capacity In The Dalles

of the best volunteer fire departments
that city ever had. He is enthusias
tic in the work and promises thai
Heppner will not be long in having

The new fire fighting apparatu:
should be on the ground at Heppnel
