French Soldiers Here. For the first time during the war, the students of James John have had the opportunity of listening to French soldiers who have actually seen service at the front. On Wednesday morn ing, Captain J. C. Champion and Sergeant Mirat, of Camp Lewis, where they have been aiding in the military training, visited the school and spoke to the student body. While Cap tain Champion suoke. Sorereant Mirat drew cartoons illustrat ing the talk. The hearty ap piause attested the appreciatio lrom the students lor both. un Tuesday an assembly was called during the seventh per lod at which Police Sergeant Frank Irvine spoke on "Safety First" precautions in the street tratlic. I he lecture was illus tratcd by stcrcoptican slides Sergeant Irvine impressed th students by the earnestness in which he snoke of his work nni by the plans he is using to makt- the roads "sale" for both th autoists and pedestrians. The sixth term girls were kept in suspense during the last week by many meetings ano mysterious notices plactd on the board by the boys of the c ass but the mystery was solved 01 Wednesday after school whei an invitation was given then to a class nicnic. The bnvs lor the way to the slough w.iere thej lound boats awaiting lor them After rowing about, games fol lowed on the beach. A bitr bon fire was built nominally for the purpose of roasting wienies. Wcnins in all shades of brown and black, marshmcllows and bananas, not to mention sand wichos by the dozen, were rav cnously devoured. Just at dusk the boat came and the crowc was compelled, much agains their wilta, to go home, as tin noxt day was a school day uvcry one agreed mat it wa the most successful good tinu yet planned by the Junior class On Thursday after schoo about twenty members of tin Philathcnacum Club were dc lightfully entertained by tin Zetngntheans, of Jcircrson High This was a meeting of all tin girls' debating societies of tin various High Schools. After i short program, a danco was en joyed and delightful refresh mcnts were served. Friday evening a concert wu given by John Claire Montcith. assisted by Mrs. Mae Van Dykt Hardwick. Mr. Monticth hue visited tho high school before, and much to tho delight of tin students, ho repeated somo of tho songs he had sung before Numbers wo-o given also b tho Roys' and Girls' Glee Clubs.

Tho school as a whole sincere ly rejoice at the return of nli tho Socios from Salem, thougl somo relate narrow escapes from somo of tho institutions ol tho capital city. The Senior Class were most happily, even tho of necessity, were briefly entertained on Wednesday. April 23. The Do. Sc.class Borved n toothsomo troy luncheon for their delectation at tho noon hour with place cards and flowers complete. After luncheon the class went to the Domestic Science room where thoy told their fortunes by flup. ping flapjacks. It would seem that their "fates" vary from tall, dark and handsome to piquant, blonde and handsome. Ono unfortunate, however, by turning his flapjack to the floor proved his case to be "hope less." The Senior Class members are all proudly wearing their class pins and rings. The seal design is especially pleasing and has been adopted us standard for at least four years. The presi dent of the class, Oscar Ander son, took accasion at the lunch eon to present Mr, Fletcher a class pin as a gift from the class of June, '18, in apprecin tion of his close association with them.

La us, each one, take to the work In hand with our hearts confident of but ono ultimata result VICTORY. Let us keep constantly In mind that a prompt and overwhelming sub scrlption to tho Third Liberty Loan Honda Is exacted of us.

Hut tho Germans not only stopped merchant vossols, they sank them. Sank them without warning, without trace tho most devilish thing war has seen since tho savages scalped our ancestors and threw screaming babies Into tho (lames ot burning cabins. Tho German plan ot sinking men chnut vessels without trace Is linked on tho murderer's maxim that "dead men tell no tales." It was exe cuted by tho massacre ot men, wom en and children, who, hnvlng com mitted themselves to small boats In tho opvii soa after (heir ships were torpedoed, were mercilessly raked with gunllro, and exterminated to the last unprotected, unpltled soul! These aro tho murders that stain the handu of tho Kaiser, his advisers and min ions. The no outrages were porpetrnted on neutral vessels when nil that civ ilized wurfaro gavn tho Germans a right to do oven with tho merchant vessel undor a hostllo Hag, was to atop it at sea and mako It a prizo of war. ' To kill tho civilians on board, oven under u hostllo flag, was nothing but unmitigated murder. And these tnur ders woro committed In order that we might be enslaved! Having the right to take tho seu with his tlet. i but being afraid to do so for fear he might loso It, and being unable by fair means to stop tho selling of our products to his enemies, tho Kaiser declared that ho would do It by the foulest mothods over resorted to In war. Ho declared thu sen closed. and that hu would keep It closed, not by war, but by murder. To havo submitted would havo cost We sliouitl nave allowed inis now horror to become a part of alt f ituro wnrs, and have been responsible for Its Incorporation Into international law.

Wo migtit navo srrepteii lint sev enty centH for wheat and the six cents for cotton, but we otdJ nut havo done it merely because we wers commanded to do It. Ily so doing wo should havo ncepted degrada tion. Wo should have begun, after winning our freedom In our own revolution and establishing a union on the foumlNtlon of liberty In tho blood and tears of our wur between the states, to knuckle under to autoc racy! Wo should have baxely yielded up our birthright as American. Such n thought is Intolerable. Pence at such u price would not be pence, but only n preparation for a futur revolt against subjugation. Hotter any sort of war; better war foiover, that that.
