PENDLETON ROUNDUP

to word received from the sons and
daughters of the range and plain who
will compete here September 81, %

Ray Bell, last years champion,
who first rode in the big show whei
he was mere stripping of IA, will

throwing rope and riding bronchos,
will be entered in the contests.
Pendleton is making extensive
preparations for the show. The
grounds and grandstands are being

being placed in readiness. The
Roundup is strictly a community

other words, il team is late get
ting on the field the opposing team
can choose to force the other team
15yard line.
Still another change is that a play
err once taken out of a game cannot
be returned in the same half but a
player taken out in the first half can
be returned at any time in the sec
ond half rather than only at the start
of quarter as was the rule last
year.
When time out is taken. after the
three allotted time out periods have
been used up the offending team is
penalized the usual two yards, but
the sticks remain unchanged, making
it necessary for the team to gain
that much more yardage in the same
number Of downs. Last year the
ball and the sticks were both moved
back two yards.
Clipping from behind is done away
with, this feature having caused many
injuries in past years.
One more interesting change is
that when team has won the toss
and chosen to defend certain goal
the other. team has the option of
either kicking or receiving while con-
ditions are just changed in the Sec
ond half, the losing team in the first
half having the full option.

Harding Feels
INDICATED By
Genoa Conflict
Sec'y Hughes Prediction
OF Political Br0iI
FULFILLED.

The stormy career of the Genoa
economic conference Is regarded by
the Harding administration as vim
dication of its declining the invita-
tion for the United States to par
ticipate.
Secretary OF State Hughes. in de-
clining the invitation. said the con-
ference evidently was to be more
politisal than economic in charac-
ter and that the American people
desired to keep clear of entapgle-
ment in the political problems of
Europe.
President Harding, Secretary
Hughes and other high administra-
tion officials are refraining from
comment on developments at Genoa.
but 1t can be stated that these de-
velopments are generally regarded
as a fulhllment of Mr.. Hughes
prophecy.
Whatever may be the outcome of
the situation presented by the
agreement entered into by Germany
and Russia. it is readily to be seen
that the United States has no proper
place in the Genoa conference" says
the Republican Publicity Associa-
ton. Undoubtedly the problems
Of Europe need solution. There can
be no great progress and recon-
struction in Europe until there has
been reached a basis of under
standing which will insure each ma
tion against aggression and permit
them to disband their military or
ganizations and concentrate their
resources upon restoration OF the
industries of peace.
This international assurance Is
primarily a political problem that
must be worked out by the spokes-
men OF the different governments
directly concerned. Only in a very
remote degree is the United States
interested in the political relation
ships OF Europe"
Whether the Federal reserve sys-
tenn would be represented at an in
ternational conference Of banks of
issue, as proposed by the Genoa
economic conference, remains to be
decided, Treasury officials indicated
yesterday.

BONUS TO PRECEDE
TARIFF In SENATE,
M'CUMBER SAYS
Early Passage, With Ger
tificate Amendment,
Predicted.

Prompt action to hasten enact
ment of the soldiers bonus was
promised yesterday by Senator Nc
Cumber. North Dakota. chairman Of
the Senate Finance Committee.
The Senator announced that he
would call the committee together
to begin consideration Of the bonus
bill early next week, probably Mon
day. He predicted that the COM
mittee would make its report speed
lily in favor OF the measure and
that the Senate would give IL the
right of way over the pending tar
if bill.
The opposition is preparing to
wage a bitter fight against the
measure. both in the Finance Com
mittee and in the Senate. but indi-
cations are that they will be so
inferior in numerical strength that
they will not be able to maintain a
prolonged contest against the bonus
To Confer with President.
In a final effort to smooth out
differences between ConEress and
the administration over the bonus.
senator McCumber is planning to
confer with President Harding soon.
Then he will endeavor to ascertain
exactly what Mr.. Harding will ac-
Cept in the way OF adjusted compen-
sation legislation.
The movement to amend the bill
and substitute Treasury certificates
of Indebtedness to pay the bonus in
lieu of the House plan gained cen
siderable headway yesterday Al
though the administration is on rec
ord against this proposal, many
Senators expressed the belief that
it would meet the view OF President
Harding ard Secretary Mellon that
the bonus bill must carry the means
for financing II. They are counting
on the payment Of interest on for
eiEn loans to assist in meeting the
certificates OF Indebtedness when
they come due.
Payment from Loans Impossible.
The interest on foreign loans will
not be available in time to defray the
expenses OF the bonus in the officisl
opinion expressed yesterday at the
Treasury. Despite the organization
Of the new debt commission for
funding the war loans and the prob
ability that negotiations with Great
Britain will begin within the next
few weeks. Secretary Mellon says
that interest payments coming due
in November could not be expected
TO meet such an expense.
The State Department has in
formed the foreign nations whose
demand notes are held by this gov
ernment, il was said at the Treas
ury. that the United States is now
prepared to conduct negotiations
looking toward the transfer OF the
evidences OF the debt into longtime
obligations. 1t was indicated that
further steps by the commission
which organized on Monday. woulO
await replies from the foreign gov
ernments.

Prices of Coal
Higher Despite
Ample Supply
Government to Check
PrOfteers-Business
Fast Gaining.

The third week OF the coal strike
has brought definite evidence that
soft coal prices are stiffening in
spite of an ample supply, small de-
mand and government warnings.
The balance sheet of the industry
reveals. according to government
surveys: ..
l. That stocks on hand total
50,0e0. 900 tons of soft coal, enoucI,
for at least a month without any
mining activity.
2. That the output as OF April Is
approximates $500. 600 tons per
week, about one-third Of normal.
.. That $4,000 full cars of coal are
on sidings at the mines without
anyone to buy them.
In the face OF this balance sheet,
which government officials charac-
terize as ''unalarming," prices have
advanced on an average of 10 cents
a ton at the mines.
Attorney General Daugherty's re.
tail price investigators are on the
alert for any substantial price
boost, and upon their findings, 1t Is
understood, Mr.. Daugherty will take
steps to protect the public.
Despite the coal strike. general
production is said. to have reached
a point within IS to 80 per cent
OF normal. Two outstanding fea-
lures in this recovery. according TO
the, Department OF Commerce. are
the marked increases in iron and
steel activity and the building In
dustry.
In the production of pig iron and
steel ingots an advance of Nom %
to 80 per cent in March, compared
with February, marks by fa- tho
largest increase for any single month
since last July.
Building contracts awarded in
twenty-seven Northern States dur
ing March were valued at s293, ,637.-
900, compared with $177,472.000 in
February and s164, ,0s2,0O0 in March,
1921.
According to the Department OF
Labor the average increase of per-
sons employed for March. 1922. as
compared with March. 1921. is about
25 Pc cent.

Sees Russo-German Pact
Plunging Europe Into Wars
Simonds Pictures Armed France With Little
Entente Taking Advantage of Present
Strength to Forestall Ruinous At
tack as Genoa Fades.

GUM, also menaced by fresh Ger
man attack.
1t would be a mistake, therefore,
for the French to withdraw PEE
cipitately. Every day is adding to
strength of the French position
since it tends at one time to dis
close the extent of the German
strategy and the magnitude cf the
perils which this strategy has for
other nations. You may have fur
the postponement of the collapse
of the Genoa conference, although
Il is clear that in Paris the Who'll"
French public opinion is clamorins
for a drastic action, but what is
now practically out of the question
is any restoration of the economic
reality of the Genoa conference.
Russia Ruins Lloyd George.
The Germans and the Russians
only at home but as a political
leader in Europe. He alone might
have brought some semblance Of
concord between all the rival ma
tiOns and at least have made Genoa
a place of meeting, of conference,
the point of departure for later CO.
operation. But the Germans have
supplied the confirmation for every
thing the French have asserted,
both as to German and Russian pur-
pose.
In estimating the present crisis
in Europe, as that of 1914, the all
important thing is not the detail,
but the state of mind. What made
the 1914 situation hopeless was the
state of mind existing in the sew
epal great countries. What makes
fhe situation almost equally critical
today Is the same spirit, a spirit
which makes European cooperation
impossible.
For thee years the one dominat-
ing question has been whether Eu-
rope could find a common policy
and a basis of common agreement
II this had been possible, recovery
from the war would have been pos
sible and perhaps relatively prompt.
But it has proven impossible to find
such a basis and now the situation
has escaped all leadership. Politics
have t-iumphed over economics and
perhaps over civilization. That is
the present fact.
French Invasion Near.
Unless every sign fails we shall
have tremendous developments with
in a brief period of time. of which
French invasion of Germany will
be only one of the more consider
able. Genoa may continue for a
few days more, because no one is
quite ready at the moment to as
sumo the responsibility for promot-
ing the open break. But the real
break has taken place. Today the
events in London and in Paris are
moving rapidly, toward two domes-
tic political crises. toward the elm,
