MDOIYEY Teuton Philosophy Opposed to American Civilization’s Spirituality. In contrasting the two types of civili zation “German Kultur” and “American Civilization,” each seeking control of the world in the great conflict in Europe. Dr, Carl G, Doney. president of Willamette University, in addressing the assembly yesterday morning, defined “Kultur” as rominantiy materialistic and civilization as spiritualistic. “German Kultur in a sentence.” said ! Dr. Doney, “is the belief that all that the German people have of religion, art, invention and production, all they have and are should be used for the purposes pf the state. Kultur ia national. Civiliza I tion is international. Only a German can hare Kultur. but any one can be civilized, no matter what his race if he possesses certain quali ties.” Dr. Doney returned from France last July, after spending six months doing work for the war council under the aus pii es of the Y. M. C. A. He spoke at 10€ huts and said that everywhere he found the war was the one theme absorbing the soldier day and night. That the war more than anything else was the one thing he wanted to hear about. Englishman Muddles Through. t ontrasting the school training of the Englishman, who muddles his way through but somehow finds a way to get I wants, with the efficient train ing of the German who always follows a path, Dr. Doney declared that when an American boy found a Hun up there in the front lines he displayed the effi ciency of the Hun and the muddling of the Englishman and in the combination Fritz found the surprise of his life. Dr. Doney told about an American boy of his acquaintance who went to West Point and came out a fine, clean, wholesome gentleman and who when questioned by him said that the West Pointer thinks the man inside the uni form of the United States of America ought to match it. Through the teachings of Bismarck and others long before him. it is believed by the Germans that it is only through the strong right arm, through prepara tion to function as a military power, that a nation can become a power.” said the speaker. “Germany has built herself up step by step,” said Dr. Doney, “in the belief that she is the chosen people and must perform the mission of spreading her Kultur throughout the world.” Dr. Doney ccited the writings of a German philosopher, who said that the German language alone is pure while the English, French, Italian and Spanish are mongrel languages, and that the English blood was mongrel blood, while the blood and mind of the German is pure and un adulterated and has been since God cre ated the German people. In concluding his address Dr. Doney said: “I hope the league of nations will go through in some form that will iDsurp the protection of the little people of the WOTld.” PATE OP JAMES FULLERTON TO BE KNOWN SOON (Continued from page one.) the high character of the witnesses for the state and the completeness of their testimony, and to the fact that the de fense had based nearly all the assertions complained of upon vague rumor, and hearsay statements which Fullerton had not even attempted to investigate at the time and had no witness to prove now. Furthermore, he showed that the de= fendant was unable to prove in court even that he had heard many of these ru mors and had not imagined them, because he had forgotten he said the names of the persons who had told him. Mr. Ray rose to considerable heights of eloquence in indignant protest against the only thing resembling or indicating immodesty Fullerton testified he had ever known about personally and not through rumor. This was a peeping Tom incident Fullerton swore yesterday he had greatly enjoyed, but which he offered no corroborative evidence to prove, say ing he had forgotten who was with him at the time who might have proved or disproved whether Fullerton was telling the truth or nqt. Prosecution Is Described. Mr. Ray described the case of the pros ecution bow not relying upon the law, which he said might place the burden of aroof on the defense to prove the truth if the statements published, the state had determined to voluntarily accept the burden and to show affirmatively hat moral conditions were good. It would jot be necessary for Fullerton to prov"e heir truth; the state would undertake o prove their falsity. For that purpose hey had gone over the whole University, lad testified as to conditions in everv 'ingle student, group, had brought to the stand every person connected with the lisciplinary system and had offered them o the defense for cross examination. He told of the theory on which the law if criminal libed is based: how it afms o furnish a legal form of punishment 'or the publishing of matter of a type vhich would otherwise result in violent •esentment or riots. “The best evi lence.” he declared, “of the genuine ontrol exercised over these students by ’resident Campbell and his faculty is the act that they have up to this time been irevented from acting upon their natural nanly resentment of the contemptible ies that the defendant has spread about heir sisters, their sweethearts and their rienda. “Now Is Time.” “I am district attorney, charged with 'nforcing the law. I tell you that if you icqtrit this defendant, and deny all these young people any chance to vindicate their reputations. I will not be responsi i ble for what may happen, for I shall have done my duty. , “I have been district attorney for all i the 22 months these pamphlets have been published. We have been very pat'ent He has asked for a libel suit He has j declared he desired a chance to testify . in court. He has published this re«pie*t I in his •Hornet.’ We have wnited all this j ^*e have waited and waited and j waited for this old gentleman to quit. And now his time has come and he has ; no evidence to support the outrageous charges he has made against nil these fine young people, these purs girls and ; there brave young men. “One Recourse Open.” i "H« has grouped them all together. He j has ra-.de a general charge. If he had named anybody, there could have been r.n ! action of a different kind, but he has' ' chosen to make all his accusations i broad, vague, besmirbhiug every member of the .nictation, blackening .he osiiies ! the purest women. There was <.nly one recourse, it was for the state to act.” ! The ou’v witness called today was J. j }l- Parker, caretaker at Headricks | ark. j He testified that he witched closely the i people wl.o nee the park, and that the | students who occasionally pi uic thee | .-.hvays a-led with entire propriety so i far ns his extensive knowledge went. In the course of the summing tip for 1 the defendant, Mr. Slattery drew a lurid j picture of the type of clothing that the state’s witnesses must have meant, he declared, when they testified the girls wore “evening dress” at parties. Down to the waist in back, slight ribbons over creamy shoulders and great expuns-'s »f bare skin. This was Slattery’s own con tribution. No such evidence had been !n troduced, even by Fullerton. Slatt^-v <1 I so said he personally believed Fullerton’s I charges. WIUSO OUfJcl VIoIVll U»9tTIUUU> The close supervision maintained over the life of every man and woman student in the University was brought out by | several witnesses Tuesday afternoon. The machinery used to assure this con trol and to afford full information of all their activities was described. District Attorney L. L. Kay and .T. L. Hainmersley, of Portland, representing the attorney-general, undertook to show how complete a check is kept on moral conditions. Dr. John Straub, head of the college of literature, science and the arts, who has been connected with the University since 1S78 testified that all that time “not one single University girl has gone to the bad.” “I cannot but be surprised,” said Dean Straub, ‘at the fewness of the cases of immorality that linve occurred in this time. Some few men have been dismissed for immorality, but never for a case which a University woman is involved. Dean Morton Praises Conditions Dean D. Walter Morton told the jury, before the court could head him off, that moral conditions here were better than at eight eastern and middle western in stitutions of which he has personal knowledge. The practice of the discipli nary committee, he said, was to investi gate every single rumor, no matter how vague. Miss Ehrmann described the elabor ate system of house mothers, head of houses, and chaperons, to which every girl not living with her parents is sub ject in one way or another. The defense made almost every witness admit under pressure that, things might happen and the witness not find out about it. Not so. Miss Ehrmann. She had confidence in her system and in the thoroughness and ac curacy with which it workR, as well ns the spirit of co-operation shown by the girls in aiding University discipline. Each house mother was led to describe the house rules, the construction of the houses, her means of supervision, the girls’ hours and their general conduct. The general argument was that no case could happen that Fullerton or anyone else could find out about but what would come to the knowledge of the University itself. Mrs. A. G. Barker spoke for the Alpha Phi house, Mrs. Edna Prescott Datson for the non-fraternity girls, Mrs. M. F. Chatfield for Delta Gamma, Mrs. L. F. Johnston for Kappa Alpha Theta. Miss Camille Dosrh for Kappa Kappa Gam ma, Mrs. 8. W. Benson for Pi Beta Phi. Mrs. Arthur Cox for Delta Delta Delta, Miss Inez Johnson for Chi Omega, Mrs. H. W. Weir for Gamma Phi, Miss Ger trude Talbot for Hendricks hall. Miss Dinsdale for the T. W, C. A. and girls’ working their way and Miss Ehrmann for the girls living at home. All these witnesses have no other duty but to look out for the girls. To it they devote their whole time. Each has only a small group, every girl in which she knows intimately, and between them they exorcisp jurisdic tion over every female student, and are required to know positively heT where about at every hour of the day and night. Clergymon Are Witnesses. Several clergymen were also called. Rev. A. M. Spangler testified he knew conditions thoroughly and sent his son and daughter to the University gladly. | Rev. C. E. Dunham also expressed con fidence In the University. The defense tried to make him say that University tracking tended to shake the students’ faith in the Christian religion, but he re fused to assent, admitting only that sometimes they changed from one denom ination to another. Rev. C. E. Sanderson, who is president of the Bible University ami lives next to the University of Ore gon. said he knew many students and was in a position to testify that condi tions were good. R. S. Bryson, county clerk, who has just finished a six-year term as city re corder. testified that the trouble given the city authorities by students was neg ligible. He conld only remember four in stances. The most serious one involved an officers’ training camp man and not a student. No University woman had been involved. Former Sheriff On Stand. Ex-Sheriff I). A. Elkins gave much j the same testimony. He was also asked if he had ever received complaints of conduct on the mill race and had inves tigated them. He said he had and no stu dents had been involved. Each complaint had turned out to refer to people not connected with the University. 1 Many men and women students were called in the afternoon. Men from each organization were asked in what regard University women were held. The ans wers were that they were most highly respected. It developed that all the houses had rules absolutely barring all conversation critical of women. In one case Harold Gray, representing Phi Gam ma Delta, wasn’t sure whether it was a house rule or a universa.v gentleman's rule. He said it was never violated: that it was an unwritten law that nil scrupu lously respected. Students Give Testimony. Among the men who testified were .Tack Dundore. Captain Miles MeKey, of Albany, a law student living at Friend ly hall who was hoping to send his two sisters to the University, Douglas Mul larky, of Redmond, rditor of tbe Emer ald, Harold Newton, in a sailor's uni form, just back from the Antipodes, Morris Morgan, of Portland and Don Belding, of Grants Pass, just back from France. The soldiers and the sailor were good witnesses, if they did put a little over-emphasis into their answers in which they said what they thought of the charges. Dr. TV. R. Neal testified be was sur geon for the S. A. T. 0. and had exam ined every man. There was no case of proved social disease in the whole unit of over 500 men. Col. W. H. C. Bowen testified along the same line. W. T{. Rutherford, city superintendent of schools, gnve the Uni versity a good name for morality. He said he advised his high school students to attend the University and intended to send his son. Among tho girls who testified were Miss Ella Dews, of Klamath Falls, vice president of the associated students, Miss Dorothy Flegel of Portland, whose father, Austin F. Flegal, is head of the Oregon Social Hygiene society. Mrs. Em ma Wootton lTnll, whose husband, Elmer Hall, is a lieutenant of marines in France, and Miss Essie Maguire, of Portland, head of Hendricks ball and president of the Y. W. C. A. Other witnesses were .T. R. Hills, of Oakridgo; C. O. Peterson of Eugene, and C. K. Hale, of Noti. President Campbell was on the stand for a brief time, giving testimony tending to show tbe cause of the malice which the state eharges is Fullerton’s actuat ing motive. He told about several at tempts of Fullerton to obtain employ ment from tho University ns a biological collector, and of the University’s refusal to accept the skeleton of a whale which Fullerton had laboriously brought to Eu gene in the hope that the University, af ter the smell had departed, would use the bones in the construction of a tea house on the campus.
