;. URGENT DEMAND FOR
PEACE.

~ I is harder to make peace
than to make war;" said
~ General Joffre, and we
are beginning to think that it is
even harder to get peace trea-
ty signed when made.
The senate talks and talks,
but decides nothing. And the
more it talks the more confused
it becomes. The dreary days of
dull debate have heightened in
TO wearisome weeks, and now
threaten to become monotonous
months of profitless discussion.
Public patience is rapidly
being exhausted. The Ameri-
can people appear to want the
treaty signed, but they are even
more anxious for a decision one
way or the other. They see no
useful purpose being served by
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1919-08-27
tions are the following:

tions are the following:
Minced celery and mayonnaise
dressing with one slice of white bread
and one slice of brown bread.
Dry broiled bacon and cooked chick
en- liver put through the meat chop
per and mixed with mayonnaise dress
ing.
Minced celery, canned salmon and
mayonnaise with shredded lettuce.
Raisins chopped and mixed with
mayonnaise dressing with or without
addition of chopped nuts.
For n heartier sandwich, chopped
chicken livers with bacon and mayon-
naise dressing and sliced tomatoes.
For reception or any occasion re-
freshments are taken standing; said
wiches are eaten without the aid of
a fork and often with the gloves on
And the fact that they are to be thus
eaten should be borne in mind when
making them. The filling should
never be put on so lavishly that il
soaks through the bread or comes out
at the edges, and the bread although
It should be cut very thin, should new
er break or crumble.

ceaseless wrangling, which
seems to aim at nothing more
than mere delay.
And delay is the one thing
above all others that we do
not want. There may be argu-
ment as to the merits and de-
merits of the treaty, but there
lis no argument in favor of de-
lay. Industry and commerce
are being held up, and there
cannot be the slightest doubt
that prices are maintained at a
high level and are even ad-
vancing because of the uncer-
tainty as to what the senate
will do and as to when it will
come to a decision.
Production is the biggest fac
tor in fixing prices and until the
peace treaty is signed or def
notely rejected production can
not go forward as maximum
pressure.
Here we are talking of cele-
brating the anniversary of the
signing of the armistice and
are faced with the prospect
that on that day, apd perhaps
for long after the senate will
still be debating instead of de-
Gliding.
The people want peace and
they want it now. The anx-
ously waiting mother wants
her soldier boy back home, and
she cannot get him while the
senate keeps on talking.-San
Francisco Bulletin.

ABOUT THE STARS


Leo tThe I1On.)
Leo is the next constellation of the
Zodiac and is found practically as we
now see it in all the ancient Zodiacs
The sun when it entered this sign
marked the fiercest head of Summer
and the lion. the king of beasts was
accordingly made to represent this
constellation, thus symbolizipg the
fact that the sun reigned supreme.
Owing to the change wrought by the
procession of the Esquinoxes the sun,
in ancient times entered this constei-
lation about a month earlier than now
and July instead of August was the
hottest month of the year. At this
season of the year the lions frequently
the shady banks of the Nile to escape
the intense heat which came with tho
annual overflow of that historic
river This may have been one cause
symbolizing the lion, whose figl-
was emblazoned upon all canal ga.es
and drinking fountains: in some coun-
tries the custom is still observed. The
ancient water clock always bore the
figure of.a lion. The symbol was wor-
shipped by the Babylonians, the Per-
slams. and ancient Egyptians. and also
by the Peruvians, the Mexicans and
the ancient Druids. The cluster has
nothing to denote the form of lion
but presents a fair representation OF
a sickle. with egulus a first magnitude
star at the end of the handle. 1t is
claimed that IL sends out a thousand
times as much light as our sun and is
the earth at the rate of
five and a half miles per second and
that it is 1s0 light years from us.
That is to say il will take 100 years
for the light of this great star TO reach |
US travelling at the enormous speed of
is6, 900 miles per second.

PATIENCE AND FAIRNESS
REQUIRED.

AZ RESIDENT WILSON in
M his statement to the rail-
road men spoke sanely
and with a courage that was
needed. In answer. to the de-
mands of the railroad shopmen
and the impending danger of a
strike he said:
'It is the duty OF every citizen of
the country TO insist upon a truce i'm
such contests until intelligent settle
Incnt can be made by peaceful and
effective counsel.
II appeal to my fellow citizens of
every employment 20 cooperate i'm in
sisting upon and maintaining such a
truce, and TO cooperate also i'm sus-
tanning the government lin what L
conceive TO be the only course which
conscientious public service can
pursue. Demands unwiseIy made and
passionateiy insisted upon at this time
menace the peace and prosperity of
this country as nothing else could,
and thus contribute to bring about the
very results which such demands are
intended 60 remedy
There is need of calmness
and patience until affairs can
be adjusted. Cooperation is
preferable to feverish conten-
ton. In the end justice will
prevail, as near as is humanity
possible, and the less interfer-
ence we have with production
and distribution the sooner
will prices be brought down to
a safer level.
On the part Of all there must
be consideration for others. |
When wage advances are made
the advance should be first to
those who are most underpaid
not to those who have al
ready been granted heavy ad-
vances. Fairness is good policy
for all injustice does not pay,
as Germany now realizes.
The interests of the nation
and of the people will be served
if those responsible for "de-
unwisely made and /;
passionately insisted upon" !
will take the president at his
word. 4
