SNARLLNG AND BITING

adjournment OF the Arms Con
ference without definite action.
We also limited the possibility OF
bitter wrangling and stern dis
pute. The first marked note OF
discordance was sounded by Lord
Curzon in his London speech OF
Thursday. While not sounded
ON the Conference floor, it still
has the same effect. as it IS the
official British reply to French
BRANDS official Washington
speech.
If you will look at the dedlca-
ton page ofeyour English Bible,
you will find that King James
still called himself the king OF
France Ii you will read your
histories ofEngland and France
you will also find that for sew
eral hundred years the royal faml-
lies of:hotfl countries were 50 III
termarriedls and intermingled
that theGkiings :of either country
y often claimed sovereignty over
the other IN truth, Norman Will
liam. the tanners grandson,
fought the battle OF Hastings IN
1866, claiming he had better right
to the English throne than Saxon
Harold. And almost from
Caesars time the English and
the French were at war one year
or the next, down into the 18th
century.
so it is not surprising that
they should find matter to snarE
about in the 10th century but
mark YOU the difference! This
Conference at Washington IS not
a conference Of kings; it is not a
second Holy Alliance! 1t is a
conference Of Democracies; and
the first that has thus tar taken
place in this world. at that! There
is bound to be sharpest ragged
edges Of difference i'll OPINION.
The snarling has begun; the Dit
ing may follow. But back OF 1t
all is the unmiStakable mandate
of a war-torn and war-Weary
world. The peoples do not want
to fight each other. That is the
alpha and omega-the sum and
substance of the whole thing!
If it had been left to the states
men-to Foreign Minister this
and Prime Minister that, with
Ambassadors and Under-Secre-
taries thrown III for boot-prob-
ably this Conference had not been
held. In our own country were

let themtget down to business over
there on the Hill!' And if the
United States had not issued the
calf. no other nation would have
done it-or, if they had. nobody
would have paid any attention
to it.
AS we said Yesterday, there
are two roads to peace: one
through the Conference. and one
through such an inferno OF war
and destruction as.the world has
not vet seen. We further re-
marked that the world was at
the. crossroads. If the Confer
ence dissolves with no definite
and decisive action taken, then

UMATILLA ROADS AND
HIGHWAYS RECEIVE
ATTENTION OF COURT

Cmatilla roads and highways occn-
pied the attention of the county court
almost the entire time during the past
week. During the forepart of the week
the court met with the state highway
commission at Portland and received
assurances from that body that work
would be undertaken in this part by
the state. AS resalt of the meeting
the county court feels reasonably sure
Of sufficient money to complete the
highway between Pilot Rock and the
Morrow county line. The highway
commission will personally inspect the
oregon Washington highway in this
county during the next two weeks ac-
cording to the court and will also look
over the Cold Springs roads routs in an
effort to make some decision.
During the latter part of last week
the court spent considerable time in
the Freewater district with state engi-
reer Percy Cupper They attended
several road conferences and have
reached a decision to extend the walla
Walla road from the Forbes school to
the power plant. Farmers Of that sec
tien will contribute their services on
the grading of the road and the Pacific
Power & Light company will con
tribute the power The extension will
be about one mile and a half long.
This morning the court considered
work on the Pendleton-Athena road.
