POUND PARTIES.

The boys and girls of the seventh
and eighth grades of the school have
put aside any worry as to winning
the war and have gone in heavy for
old fashion pound parties. One of
the p~leasantest parties given so far
was at Jack Bradley's Tuesday night
There were many bright lanterns on
the spacious lawn and games were
enjoyed until a late hour. Each boy
brought his sweetheart and a pound
of goodies, the eating of which

Terms of Training.-The term of
training varies from two to three
years, according to the requirements

more than three.

The Nurses Training Schools
There are 1879 nurses training
schools in this country. Their need
is, as great and imperative as that OF
the Army School of Nursing. Those
who enroll for these schools will be
assigned as vacancies occur.
The enrolment card will indicate
two classes of Observation-Disclosures

class will be those who are ready to
accept assignment to whatever hos
pital the Government directs them,
although they may state what train

Those who register in the Preferred
class will be assigned first, and all

Deferred class is composed of those

THE KAISER" BEAST OF BER-
LIN"

The will back of Germany's war
and the ruthlessness of German war
methods Will be brought home to
citizens of Pendleton as never before
when 'The Kaiser, Beast of Berlin
is shown at the Arcade theater in this
city on Tuesday and Wednesday
New York saw the film only two
weeks ago, and New York went wild
with excitement and patriotic enthu-
siasm, while the Defense Society
while the American Defense Society
endorsed it as the most powerful
piece of patriotic production that has
been brought out since America en-
tered the war.
The big Jewel production comes to
this city among the first sent to the
cities west of the Rocky mountains,
thanks to the promptness and enter
prise Of Manager Matlock in booking
it to his theater almost as soon as
possible after It reached the Portland
exchange.
In this seven reel super production
with Rupert Julian playing in the
role of the kaiser audiences will see
the private life and character of the
autocrat. with all his mad vanities
and ambitions and cruel selfishness'
laid mercilessly bare.
They will see in a terrific review
the massacre and sack of Louvain
and they will see German ruthlessness
at work in Belgium. even as it hopes
some day to be at work in America.
They will see the decoration of the
kaiser placed on Captain Won Neigle,
commander of the U-boat that sunk
the Lusitania, and will see how the
captain went mad with remorse over
the crime he was ordered to commit
by Europe's mad man with awith-
cred soul"
They will see the kaiser smashed
in the jaw by the captain OF his
guard whom he insulted.
They will see him swagger in gor-
geous uniforms and hear his boasts
and threats in the historic scene with
Ambassador Gerard.
They will see him fall, and will see
the prediction of the end of the war
and the end of the kaiser are histor-
ically accurate. and the words of the
kaiser in the play are correct quota
tions of his actual utterances.
In connection with the present big
drive in France, and the Liberty loan
work, the picture assumes a new in
terest, and gives one an especially
vivid glimpse of the actual forces
against which America is arrayed in
this war for freedom from the curse
of autocratic ambition.
