TEN A. {. F. SOLDIERS
EXECUTED DURING WAR

PARIS. Sept. 5.-Nine soldiers of
the American expeditionary forces
were hanged and one was shot for
criminal offenses during the war. 1t
was revealed today at an investiga-
tion of A II. +. courtsmartial by the
congressional committee inquiring in
to war expenditures. Two of the
hangings were for murder, and seven
for rape, of whom six were negroes.
one execution was for desertion.
Murder trials totaled 10 and re-
suited in 81 convictions. one fifth of
all the general courtsmartial were of
ficers and the rest enlisted men and
welfare workers. Most of the Off
GERS were charged with drunkenness
and disorderly conduct The investi-
cation failed to establish evidence
that officers received more lenient
treatment than did enlisted men.
Convictions resulted in 81 per cent
of the officers cases which went on
trial. seventy-seven per cent of the
men tried were found guilty. Only
one conscientious objector was tried.

WILSON IS DENOUNCED
IN SHERMAN'S ATTACK

WASHINGTON, Sept. 5.--President
Wilson's first days tour of speeches
drew fire from opponents of the leagu
of nations I'm the senate today when
Senator Sherman opened an attack in
a brief speech, denouncing the presi-
dent as "A demagogue and accusing
him of "contemptuous disregard of
the government. He referred to the
presidents declaration that the inter-
national labor conference provided for
by the treaty will be held in WASH
ington whether or not the senate rati-
flies the treaty.
Have the American people quit
electing presidents and begun to elect
kings?' he asked. Public officials
have been impeached for less flag
rant violation of the laws of their
country than this"
This paragraph of the presidents
address is 100 per cent, demagogical,"
said sherman. "It is an appeal to the
Iawless and covert invitation to the
ever-present restless and dissatisfied
element to demand what they will
The president has already played with
ftrebrands sufficiently to know the
danger" said Sherman.

70 INCHES OF RAIN
HELP TO FIGHT SMUT

The 20 inches of rain which fell

This years crop suffered from smut
The rain was general and heavier ir
some sections than in PendIeton. The
fall was extremely heavy in the But
ter creek region and farmers were
glad to see it. The rain will also
help the Weston potato crop and
benefit to this crop. 1t is estimated
that the crop will he short this year
however, because of the long dry sea.
son and also because of the decreased
acreage.
The Umatilla forest received a good
share of the rain, which. according to
w w. Cryder, Umatilla forest SUI
pervisor. relieves the danger from
forest fires. All the fires on the
Umatilla forest are now eNtinguish-
ed while fire fighters in the Whit
man and wenaha forests are also be-
ing released as the rain has aided
much in the fighting of the flames.
Today's weather is cloudy with oc-
casional showers and indications are
that the wet weather will continue.

Purchase of Triangular Area
West of BIuett Harvester
Plant, Said to Have Been
Arranged for by Oil Co.
TRACT CONTEMPLATED is
APART FROM DWELLINGS
Previous Application Announc-
ed a $4,000 Plant, Four
Tanks, Offices, as Central
Distributing Station.

The Union oil Co, which made ef-
forts to locate IA plant In the east end
OF town three months ago. will likely
build In the west end. on the triangu-
lar area west of the Blewett Harvester
Co, plant, II was learned today. The
oil company Is said to have arranged
for the purchase Of this plot of land
and will have survey made at once,
preparatory to beginning construction.
When application was made for
permit to build in the east end oppo-
site the St Joseph's academy. the
company announced n $4,000 plant
with fcur tanks and offices. Their
plan Is to make Pendleton a central
distributing plant for Umatilla, Nor
row. Union and possibly Baker coun-
ties and will be purely wholesale de-
pot.
Rumor more than month ago said
that the Union company held an OPP
tlon on lot across the street from
the present Standard Oil station here.
The location in the west end. however.
would provide better facilities for the
station aud probably overcome any
objection from residents because OF
It's great distance from any dwellings. 4
The report that the Union Oil CO.. I
VIII have surveys made at once Is an |
indication that II intends tn go ahead /
and buld without further interrup-
tion. As far as known. there are no
representatives OF the company in the
city NJ this time. but IL is presumed /
that all arrangements have been made
since the first attempt at a location.
Should the plant be erected here. It
would give employment to five men
at the very outset. The company an
nounced that II would build only the
most up-to-date, fireproot type of
plant and would also erect dwelling
house for the superintendent. The
Union Company has been endeavoring
for several months 10 get n foothold
in this territory and II is believed
that arrangements are now complet-
ed SO that the work may begin and go
through to completion.
