4 THE MORXING VRFf?OVTA?T. MONDAY. APRIL J 9, 1915. BELGIUM MUST BE HELD. SAYS GERMAN Dr. Dernburg Pleads for Na tion's Right to Outlet for Trade on Ocean. FREE SEA IS DEMANDED IBritaln Meld to Have Slaintained Little Kingdom to Prevent Ger mans From Enjoying: Ad vantages or Foreland. PORTLAND, Me., April 18 A letter from Dr. Bernhard Dernburg, former Colonial Secretary of tne German Em pire, was read at a mass meeting: here tonight at which the German side of the European war was set forth. Dr. Dernburg: laid stress on the German fight for an open sea and asserted that the advantages accruing to Germany from permanently retaining the land which it has taken in Europe could be disregarded if all the other German de mands, especially a guaranteed free sea, were fully complied with In making peace and the "natural commercial re lations to Germany were considered In a just and workable form." Dr. Dernburg's letter in part follows: "I can with full authority disclaim any ambition for my country for world dominion. She is too modest on the one hand, too experienced on the other, not to know that such a state will never be tolerated by the rest. Free Sea Germany's Aim. "The aim of Germany is to have the seas as well as the narrows kept per manently open for the free use of all nations in times of war as well as In times of peace. I personally would even go as far as to neutralize all the seas and narrows permanently by a common and effective agreement guar anteed by all the powers. "A free sea is useless except com bined with freedom of rabies and mall communication. 1 should like to see all the cables jointly owned and a world mail system over sea established by common consent. "The only alternative to an open sea and free intercourse policy would be a Chinese wall around each country. If there Is no free intercourse every country must become self-sufficient. Germany has proved that it can be done. But this policy would mean high cuntoms barriers, discrimination, un bounded egotism and a world bristling lu arras. Territorial Conquest Disclaimed. "Germany does not strive for terri torial aggrandizement in Europe; she does not believe in conquering; and subjugating- unwilling nations. Belgium commands the main outlet of Western German trade, is the natural foreland of the empire and has been conquered with untold sacrifice of blood and treas ure. It offers to German trade the only outlet to an open sea, and has been practically established, maintained and defended by England in order to keep these natural advantages from Ger many. The love for small peoples that England heralds now will never stand investigation, as shown by destruction of the small Koer republics. "So Belgium cannot be given up. However, these considerations could be disregarded if all the other German de mands, especially a guaranteed free sea, are fully complied with and the natural commercial relations of Belgium to Ger many were considered In a just and workable form. In this case Germany will not fail, when the time comes, to help rebuild the countries; in fact, she is doing so now." In concluding Dr. Dernburg wrote: "A permanent peace will mean that German activity must get a wide scope, without infringement upon the rights of others." DR. MCCLELLAND ON VISIT President of Knox College Leaves After Day With Alumni. Dr. Thomas McClelland, president of Knox College at Galeeburg, 111., and one of the leading educators of the country, visited Portland yesterday. He arrived from San Francisco Fri day and went to Forest Grove, where he was president of Pacific University from 1831 to 1900. He left last night for Seattle and will start tomorrow Xor Galesburg. Dr. McClelland passed yesterday visit ing alumni of Knox College and Pa cific University in Portland. As presi dent of Knox University he has made an enviable reputation, building up one of the strongest colleges of its district. "While not a large institution, com pared with the leading universities, it js widely known for its high scholar chip and excellent equipment. Dr. McClelland is a personal friend of Andrew Carnegie and has been a trus tee of the Carnegie Foundation from the time of its founding. AID IS GIVEN TO Y. M. C. A. fctatc Committee Joins Plans to Bring International Convention. The state committee of the Young Men's Christian Association Saturday lent Its aid to the plans of the Port land Association to bring the interna tional convention to Portland in March, 1908, the BOth birthday of the Port land Young Men's Christian Associa tion. The meeting was the regular quar terly session of the committee. All committee officers were re-eletced: A. C. Schmidt. Albany, president; E. B. fcNaughton. Portland, vice-president; Judge A. S. rletrlch, Boise, yice-presi. dent for Idaho; A. L. Veazle. Portland, recording secretary, and B. Lee Paget, Portland, treasurer. Growth of the boys work through the state has led the committee to believe that a state boys' secretary will be necessary at least next year. A working agreement also probably will be made with the state associa tion of Washington under which the "Washington student secretary will bandle the college association work of Idaho and Oregon. WHECK OF ASA5LA BELITTLED Japanese, With Extra Crews, De clared Prepared for Long Stay. LOS ANGELES. April 17. The Japanese cruiser Asama Is only rammed on a mudbank In Turtle Bay, Lower California, and if the vessel Is ns badlv damaged as is generally sup- Posed, it would have been wrecked by the sea long before this, according to a sworn statement here today by Hubert M. Kittle, who says he was honorably discharged in 1909 from the United States navy with the rating of chief machinist's mate. Albert Nathan, a newspaper man who visited Turtle Bay with Kittle, recently. said Captain Whitelaw, of the Amer lean wrecking steamer Greenwood, told him the Japanese officers declined his aid when he steamed Into Turtle Bay to help salvage the stranded Asama, on the ground that It was not needed, although the Greenwood carried power ful cranes. No effort was made while he was there to pull the Asama off the mudbank, the newspaper man said. Kittle de clared all the tents in the sailors' camps on shore were banked on the outside and boarded on the inside, as though for long . occupancy. No American warships have been in Turtle Bay or any place near it for more than two months. Nathan said Lieutenant Tomosada, of the Japanese squadron, told him. All the Japanese oincers were getting war news almost as readily as if they received news papers daily. Indicating they got wire less reports from somewhere, evidently by relays, the correspondent declares. In his opinion, the number of men walking about the decks of warships made It plain that everyone carried more than a double crew, while all the colliers, including a couple of English ships, had Japanese sailors in uniform on their decks, all the time. The ammunition from the Asama was being taken ashore by a string of steam cutters and barges and carried back to a camp half a mile inland, accord ing to the correspondent. When he and his companion attempted to spy out the camp, Nathan said they were arrested. PRINCIPAL IS INDORSED WOODLAWN RESIDENTS PROTEST AT PROPOSED REMOVAL. Mass Meeting; Gives Vote of Confidence la Charles M. Stafford, School Head Petitions Being Circulated. Emphatic protests against the removal of Charles M. Stafford, principal of Woodlawn School, were registered Sat urday night at a mass meeting of people of that district of the city at the school- house. It has been announced that Professor Stafford would not be re tained oy the board for another year and persons In that section of the city say they are at loss to understand his proposed removal, as he has given entire satisfaction. A rising vote of confidence In Prin cipal Stafford last night disclosed but one dissenter In yie crowd of about 100 persons present. It was moved and carried unanimously that a committee of seven attend the next meeting of the School Board, armed with petitions now being circulated, and urge the directors to retain the principal. It was stated that the petitions, now be ing numerously signed, show the over whelming desire of the people of Wood lawn to retain Principal Stafford. Of the 17 teachers in Woodlawn school, all but one signed the petition. V. T. Vaughn was chosen chairman of last night's meeting and E. A. Meyers secretary. The committee to call on the School Board is as follows: W. T. Vaughn, chairman; Mr. and Mrs. O. F. Hendrickson, E. A. Meyers, A. E. McGillivray, Mrs. J. M. Benson and W. A. Lyle. It was planned that many others should accompany the committee to present the petitions to the direc tors. It was reported to the meeting that reasons alleged why the principal will not be retained for another year are that he lacks leadership and profes sional interest. It was stated that evi dently the real reasons for the action proposed had been concealed, and Chairman Vaughn said in his opinion there is a "nigger in the woodpile." Judge W. N. Gatens spoke in favor of the retention of the teacher. He said he regarded him as a friend and had never heard a thing against him. His work in advancing manual training, he said, should be commended highly, as it was effort in the right direction and was such constructive effort as would eventually put an end to Juvenile Courts and other reformative Institu tions by doing away with the need for them. Mrs. W. W. Williams, president of the Woodlawn Mothers' Club, who is understood to oppose Principal Staf ford, was not present at last night's meeting. Members of this club who were present, however, said that their president did not represent their feel ing in the matter and they were strongly in ravor oi tneir scnool principal. Professor Stafford has been in the Portland school service for seven years. He was promoted from the Glencoe school last year to the head of the Woodlawn school. Those at last night's meeting insisted that his work there has been entirely efficient and that pupils have progressed satisfac torily. Teachers at Woodlawn school. with one exception, are said to be work ing in full harmony with him. CHILDREN SAVE COUPLE CONFESSED PETTY THIEF" COM PLETELY BREAKS DOWN. Judge Stevenson Relents for Sake of Offspring rod Advises Family to Seek Other Climes. With copious tears. Carl S. Barnum. confessed petty thief, bewailed the day that he had come to Portland, during his trial before Municipal Judge Stev enson Saturday, while Mrs. Barnum. admitted shop-lifter, sat dry-eyed and composed. "We always had money until we came here, said Barnum, "but I couldn't find work and couldn't see my wife and baby starve." His body shook and he was on the verge of hysteria. It was a complete breakdown. The theft of two pairs of shoes, a hat and- dress in Portland was admitted but other articles found by the detec tives in Mr. and Mrs. Barnum's rooms 16 pairs of new socks, several bolts of ribbon, an unused fishing rod and some dress goods were not identified and the couple declared that they had pur chased them, though their assertions were hesitating and contradictory. Barnum had been a co-worker when ho first came to Portland with Barnum the hypnotist, and worked about six weeks this Winter in the Willamette Steel & Iron Works. Advising them to leave the city and start life anew 'where they were not known. Municipal Judge Stevenson continued the sentence, in spite of their plea of guilty, the reason for his leniency being the future of the two children of the couple. FAMILY NOT RECOGNIZED Engineer Who Spent Six Months In Panama Remembers Nothing. SAN FRANCISCO. April 18. Benja min Harris, who went into the unset tled mining district of the Republic of Panama 10 months ago on a prospect ing trip, returned today on the steamer Peru, unable to recognize his wife and son, who met him at the pier. Harris was found with his mind un balanced by a searching: party sent at the request or his wire. He had been in the interior of Panama more than six months. He remembers nothing of the trip. After Mrs. Harris had talked to her husband for a time he accepted her statements of their relationship and gradually, he said, he remembered her. ' - LESS WASTE URGED J. J. Fitzgerald Sees Need of Public Economy. SPENDING IS HIS JOB Visitor From Brooklyn, X. Y., Is Bead of House Appropriations Committee and Is Study ing Reclamation Needs. "Government money ought to be spent just the same as private money is spent and with consideration for nothing excepting the return that is to be had from the expenditure," said J. J. Fitzgerald, of Brooklyn. N. Y chairman of the appropriations com mittee of the lower house of Congress, who was in Portland Saturday. "There is a growing tendency in Congress," he continued, "to place all appropriations on this kind of basis. Each item should be considered on its own merits. Then there would be less waste of public money and. not so much justifiable complaint against 'pork barrel' methods." As chairman of the appropriations committee, Mr. Fitzgerald and his col leagues have the pleasant, or unpleas ant, duty of spenoing somewhere in the neighborhood of $400,000,000 every year. Amount Does Net Go Around. "And then there Isn't enough to go around," he said. "We can't satisfy all claimants and we generally hear a lot of complaint." This year his committee has been giving particular attention to reclama tion appropriations, and that is one reason for Mr. Fitzgerald's trip to the West. He in on a vacation trip with his wife. They came through the Panama Canal on the steamer North ern Pacific and visited the San Fran cisco Fair, then came on the same vessel to Flavel and to Portland. But this trip is merely preliminary to an official visit of inspection in June. Mr. Fitzgerald and all the members of his committee will be here then. They plan to visit all the reclamation proj ects in the arid states. Other members of this committee are: Swager Sherley, of Kentucky; Charles L. Bartlett, of Kentucky: Joseph T. Johnson, of South Carolina; Robert N. Page, of North Carolina: George W. Rauch, of Indiana; Joseph W. Byrns, of Tennessee; Thomas M. Sisson, of Mississippi; Eugene F. Kinkead, of New Jersey; William P. Borland, of Missouri; George White, of Ohio; James McAndrews, of Illinois; Bryan F. Mahan, of Connecticut; Wooda N. Carr, of Pennsylvania; Frederick H. Gillett. of Massachusetts; James W. Good, of Iowa; Frank W. Mondell. of Wyoming; Charles R. Davis, of Minnesota: Will iam M. Calder. of New York; William S. Vare, of Pennsylvania, and William H. Hinebaugh, of Illinois. Some Not Re-Elected. Several of these members were not re-elected last Fall and it is Improbable that they will be with the party, which is scheduled to arrive in Portland about June 22. Until the last Congress the appro priations for the reclamation depart ment were on a continuing or a per manent basis. The expenditures wereJ fixed in the same amount every year. But the last Congress repealed that law and enabled tho appropriations committee to designate the funds for each project. "Thus," explained Mr. Fitzgerald, "each project must come up on its own merits. We require a report from tne reclamation department every year and try to find out just what is needed. "Under the old system the great evil was that the money was apportioned out among the several localities in an effort to satisfy everybody and some times, I am afraid, for political effect. The new way is to disregard local claims and state Influences in making appropriations. "Money Spread Out Too Much." "In the future I hope that Congress will confine Its appropriations to exist ing projects and not-try to keep too many of them going at the same time. The trouble in the past has been that the money has been spread out too much." Contrary to the popular Western be lief regarding the average Eastern member of Congress. Mr. Fitzgerald dis plays an intimate knowledge or west ern affairs and the needs of the West. He says that the typical Eastern mem ber of Congress is not as provincial as people In the West think he Is. Mr. Fitzgerald nas served m years In Congress and has just been re-elect ed to his ninth term. Yet he is not an old man. only 43. He was elected to Congress the first time when only 26 years old. He is a Democrat and a growing unit of strength in the ranks of his party. He was much disappointed yes terday to And that Representative Mc Arthur, of Portland, was out of the city. He held a conference, however, with D. A. Norton, Mr. McArthur's sec- retay. During the afternoon S. Ben son conducted Mr. and Mrs. Fitzgerald on a sight-seeing trip over the Co lumbia River Highway.

BASE OF PEAK REACHED CAR IS DRIVE TO GOVERNMENT CAMP IN RECORD TIME. JenTery Chesterfield Six First Make Trip This Year Does In 3 Hours. 54 Minutes. It Breaking all records for speed com bined with priority of arrival. E. C. Clark and II. R. Roberts, of the Frank C. Riggs Company; H. E. Dove, of the Jeffery factory, and Chester Moores, of The Oregonian, drove a Jeffery Ches terfield six automobile from Portland to Government Camp at the base of Mount Hood Saturday in three hours and 54 minutes. The car was the first to arrive at Government Camp this year, according to L. F. Pridemore, keeper of the camp. The remarkable part of the trip was the ease with which the car negotiated the 66 miles from Portland. The roads for the entire distance are in ideal condition. At several places snowdrifts were encountered. Chains were not required until the car was within a mile of Government Camp. None of the roads Js muddy and some are even dusty. The return trip was made in the remarkable time of two hours and 40 minutes from Government Camp to the middle of the Hawthorne bridge. The 47 miles from Rhododendron Inn were covered in two hours and 10 minutes, while a few stretches of the road the other side of the inn permitted travel at a speed of 40 miles an hour. The car which made the trip is the second to establish the record in the month of April. Last year a Mitchell, carrying H. W. Mitchell, Walter Gif fard, of The Oregonian, and others, broke all records by arriving at the camp April 9, after spending six full days on the road from Portland. The first car this year arrived eight days later in the month, but it made the trip pleasantly in less than half a day. The car was piloted by "Jimmie" Clark.

You perhaps know that to every cigar maker is given each week a certain number of cigars by the factory which employs him. I chanced to pass by, on one of those balmy Florida evenings, the home of a cigarmaker. He 6tood in the open door . way conversing with a friend from another factory. I will translate from the Spanish what passed between them. "Do you have a cigar about you, Jose? asked one. I have three Van Dyck Cigars," was the answer.

Van Dyck cigar makers frequently secure two of another make for one of their precious Van Dycks which costs you or me no more than the other cigar.
