DR. DRAKE ESCAPES
DR. BOYD'S QUERIES
Pastor Wants to Know of
Views of Aspirant for
School Director.
CAMPAIGN LETTER CITED
Stand Taken at Meeting at Which
Other Candidates Speak That
Broad-Mfnded Man, Able to
Rise Above Bias, Is Needed.
Three of the four candidates to suc
ceed M. G. Munly as school director at
next Saturday's school election dis
cussed their qualifications and views
of school administration at a meeting
of the Pastor's Hundred of the First
Presbyterian Church, in the auditorium
Of the church-house, last night.
The candidates who spoke were: E.
B. MacNaugb W Fred A. Ballini and
Mrs. S. M. 7 imauer. Dr. J. Francis
Drake was not present.
"I regret that Dr. Drake is not here,"
paid Rev. John H. Boyd, pastor of the
church, in the discussion following the
talks by the candidates. "I wanted to
ask him a question."
The minister held up an envelope,
from which he took a campaign cir
cular and an election card bearing the
Same and picture of Dr. Drake.
Letter Abount Catholics Cited.
"How many of you received this let
ter?" ho asked. "It is a letter calling
attention to the horrible machinations
cf the Roman Catholio Church, and
asking the recipient to vote for the
election as school director of Dr. J.
i'rancls Drake, an enemy of the Roman
Catholio Church.
"Here is Dr. Drake's card Inclosed In
the letter," and he held up the election
card to view.
"I wanted to ask Dr. Drake what he
knows about this and if he had any
thing to do with sending out the letter.
1 am very sorry fie Is not here to an
swer. I wish to call attention to the
tacts, however."
Rev. Mr. Boyd In a brief address ear
lier in the evening had declared his
hope that Portland would elect a School
Director "big enough to represent the
whole community in all Its diversity of
Interests, and one large enough to be
above all class feeling, prejudice and
favoritism.
"Here we have antls and pros," he
declared. "Here we've got a miserable
condition with class against class and
suspicion everywhere. Is it possible
for Portland to select a man large
enough to be apart from every party
and broad enough to represent every
Interest?
"If I didn't think so, I would not
want to stay in Portland."
E. B. MacNaughton was the first can
didate to speak. He said that he had
at first declined a request from many
business men and others that he be
come a candidate, but had later reconsidered.
"I did so." he said, "because I felt
It was a call of duty to carry out the
recommendations of the school survey.
In which I thoroughly believe.
"It is very distasteful for me to dis
cuss my own qualifications, but I be
lieve that both my educational and
business training have been such as to
enable me to serve the district."
He told of his work as one of the di
rectors of the educational department
of the Y. M. C. A. and of his business
experience in Portland and elsewhere.
He said that on pedagagic - matters he
did not profess to be an expert, but
that he did believe he knew enough
about it to be able to tell when things
Were not done right.
Children Seem to- Forget.
Fred A. Ballln discussed the differ
ence between the American educational
system and that of the old country. He
cald he had been educated In Germany,
but that his six children had been born
and educated In the United States.
"There always has seemed to me to
be something missing in our educa
tional system here," he said. "Let me
cite one point particularly that has
Etruck me as worthy of consideration.
It is this: things I learned 40 years ago
In the old country I retain now. But if
I ask my own children a question about
mathematics, about the Punic Wars,
about almost anything they have had
in school, the answer is usually that,
Oh. we studied that two years ago and
don't remember it now." "
Mrs. S. M. Blumauer arrived late
and spoke last. "They tell me," she
began, "that I am in the camp of my
enemies. But I shall not even pray to
be delivered from my enemies. They
tell me this is an organization that
believes a strong man should be elected.
I hope to show you that a strong
Jfoman may fill all the requirements.
Woman Relates Experience.
"One of the aualif ientions vnn Vinv
outlined for a school director is that
be should be educated. I do not think
all the education is with the men. So
far as business experience is concerned.
I believe the training of women of
late has been along business lines.
Eurely. a woman who has had teaching
experience nerseir should have some
Idea how the money raised for our
schools should be spent.
"I don't think it would ever be neces
eary, Mrs. Blumauer went on, "to
answer such a question as whether
candidate for director represents any
one class or religious denomination, in
a school election. Instead, I find It
moi-e than necessary.
"I have been kept busy answering ac
cusations that I am for or against any
certain religion.
"If I have to declare myself for or
against any man's religion I do not
want to be elected on that qualiflca
tlon."
Other speakers at the meeting in
cluded . w. Montague, who discussed
the school survey and some of its
recommendations, and R. L. Sabln. ex
Director, who told the many difficulties
that beset a member of the School
Board.

French.
PARIS. June 12. The official com
munication issued by the French War
Office tonight reads: ,
"On the right bank of the Meuse,
after powerful artillery preparation,
the Germans directed all day succes
sive attacks against our positions north
of tho Thlaumont fortifications. De
spite the importance of the effectives
and the violence of the assaults our
fire everywhere stopped the enemy,
whose losses were very serious.
"The bombardment extended besides
to the whole region west and south
of Fort Vaux and to our second lines
in the Souville Tavannes sector."
Monday's War, Moves
HEAVY fighting Is in progress over
virtually the entire eastern front
from the Gulf of Riga to Bukowlna, a
distance of between 600 and 700 miles.
From Riga to the Jasiolda River, north
west of the Prlpet marsh region, the
Germans have taken the offensive
against the Russians, probably In an
effort to divert the attention of the
Russians, who are in the second week
of their drive against the Austrians
and Germans from the Prlpet marshes
southward to Bukowlna.
On all sectors of the northern line
the Russians have successfully with
stood the Gefman onslaughts and driv
en back the attacking forces. They
have even gained ground against them
north of the Tirul marsh, southwest of
Riga, says Petrograd.
In southwest Russia. In the region of
Lutsk, fresh advances against the Aus
trians are reported by the Russian war
office, as also Is the case across the
border through East Galicia. In the
southern part of this region the Rus
sians are nearing Czernowltz, the capi
tal of the Austrian crownland of Bukowlna.
Although the Austrians at numerous
points are vigorously counter-attack
ing, the only place the Russians have
been forced to give ground was near
Bobulintze, north of Buczacz, In Galicia,
where the Austrians were reinforced by
German troops. The Russians captured
here, by the Teutons exceeded 1300.
The total of men taken prisoner by the
Russians since their offensive began
has grown to more than 114,000.
Northeast of Verdun the Germans
have thrown successive attacks against
the French positions north of Thlau
mont, but all the assaults were re
pulsed with serious losses. The heavy
bombardment by the Germans in this
region extended from Thlaumont east
ward to the west and south of Fort
Vaux and to the French second-line po
sitions of Fort Souville and Fort Ta
vannes. about three miles northeast of
Verdun.
On the remainder of the front In
France and Belgium there have been
only artillery duels and sapping opera
tions, except in Champagne, where Ber
lin reports the penetration of French
positions and the capture of more than
100 men and four machine guns.
South and southeast of Trent, the
Italians are continuing to drive back
the Austrians, according to Rome.
Gains have been made by the Italians
in the Arsa Valley and Pasublo sector
along the Posina-Astico line and south
west of Asiago. Farther north In the
Sugana Valley fresh progress . toward
the Maso torrent Is recorded for King
Victor Emanuel's men, who repelled
two counter attacks near Scurelle. In
the Lagarina Valley the Austrians are
heavily bombarding the Italians on
Conl Zugna.
A Russian cavalry force of 1000 men
operating between the Caucasus and
Mesopotamia fronts has been annihilat
ed by the Turks, who also captured a
large amount of war material, accord
ing to Constantinople. On the remain
der of the front In Asiatic Turkey there
is no change in the situation.
The masking of the important Bul
garian troop movements is believed to
be connected with the closing of the
Bulgar-Roumanian frontier to passen
ger and merchandise traffic, says an
unofficial dispatch from Bucharest.

Of on day and night, . w
HOOD RIVER, Or.. June 12. Spe
cial.) With the probable sale by thef
United States Forest Service this Hum
mer of a 7340-acre area of virgin Doug
las fir on the headwaters of the west
fork of Hood River, the lumber indus
try the coming year, with three other
large mills, the average daily cut of
each reaching approximately 90,000 feet.
and some half dozen lesser plants In
operation, bids fair to be stimulated to
a record mark in Hood River.
According to W. T. Andrews, logging
engineer, and Assistant District For
ester F. E. Ames, who were here today
from Portland, the total stumpage of
proposed fir sales reaches approximate
ly 360,000,000 feet. Application to have
the forest area opened and 'offered for
sale was made the past Winter by J.
"W. Palmer, a local West Side orchard-
lst, who formerly resided in Portland.
and who has had many years of experi
ence in the lumber business on the
Lower Columbia. Mr. Palmer Is a pros
pective bidder on the huge tract.
The mission of Messrs. Andrews and
Ames here today concerned a' letter
from the local Commercial Club. The
missive, written several weeks ago.
asking for information on the proposed
sale, expressed the fear that the de
nudation of so large an area might be
a menace to the irrigation system of
the valley and was considered by the
Forest Service as an indirect protest
against the sale.
Mr. Ames explained that the timber
would be cut after the usual manner or
logging in Douglas fir regions. It will
take probably from 10 to 12 years to
cut the entire acreage. Once or twice
each year the slashings will be burned
over, every precaution being taken
guard against damage to adjoining Na
tional forest acreage as well as patent
ed timber lands.
"We find," said Mr. Ames, "that re
forestation of fir takes place most read
lly after burning. We anticipate from
experience that we have had In other
similar locations that reseeding will be
ample and that within a short time the
acreage will not only be covered wltn
young firs, but also a dense under
growth that will tend to conserve rain
fall as well as the forest trees that
will be taken off. By the time the last
of the timber Is removed reforestation
of the first burned slashings will have
taken place."
Mr. Ames further showed that the
area embodied in the proposed sale
does not extend to the source of the
west fork of Hood River, which in fact
is fed by glaciers and would be affected
In no way by cutting of the timber.
The Government officials explained
that 25 per cent of the funds realized
from the proposed sale will be atpor
tioned among Hood River, Clackamas
and Wasco counties, proportionate to
the area of the National forest within
their bounds. Ten' per cent of the re
turns will be spent in building roads
or trails In the National foresee of the
state.
Following the explanation of the for
estry officials, the Commercial Club
members assembled at the specially
called meeting and voted unanimously
In an enthusiastic approval of the pro
posed timber sale.

A new Victor Record by Melba is a new chapter in the
musical history of the world.
"Sweet as the voice of Nellie Melba" is a musical proverb.
The capture of her matchlessly pure notes in a fresh flow of
beauty is an event of genuine importance to those who cherish
genius.
"Songs My Mother Taught Me," an exquisite gypsy lyric
by the Bohemian Dvof ak, is worthy a place among the "Melba
classics" to be found only on Victor Records.
In this cameo of a song Melba's art shines in all its crystal
purity and tenderness and freshness. It is a song which every
true appreciates of beauty w,ill surely wish to addto his library
of Victor Records.

Melba sings only for the Victor. She is one of a mighty
company. Practically every great artist and entertainer of this
generation has, like Melba, chosen the Victor as the only
instrument capable of reproducing his or her art with unswerv
ing fidelity.
Go to your nearest Victor dealer today, have him play for you the new Melba record or
any other Victor music you wish to hear. He will also gladly demonstrate to you the various
