TIIE 3IORXTXG OREGOXIAN', MONDAY, APRIX 16, 1917. 13 v ;i - '71 "1 J i 3 GUARD MAY DROP ALL MARRIED MEN Genera! White Authorized Also to Discharge Others Who Have Dependents. PLACES WILL BE FILLED Wires Must Certify They Hare Other Means of Support If Their Husbands Desire to Stay in Military Service. IIORJEME.H AND FIGHTERS ARE WANTED FOR ORE GON CAVALRY TROOPS. Troop A and Troop B, of the Oregon National Guard, want. Im mediately, 60 experienced horse men for service In those organi sations. Applicants will be examined, beginning this morning, at 108 Fourth street. Men must be unmarried, with no dependent families, physically sound and a general knowledge of the care of horses. Experienced horsemen are pre ferred. Both these troops are apt to be called Into service Immediately so recruits have a. good chance to see Borne action. All married men may be discharged from the Oregon NatTonal Guard and their places filled with unmarried men. Authorization for such action came yesterday to Adjutant-General George A. White, who promptly communicated It to the commanders of the several Guard units. It Is understood that the order leaves It optional with the men themselves to accept discharge or remain In the serv ice. The Government, however. Is anx ious to relieve all the married men, as well as all other men with dependent families. The Information to the Adjutant-General's office yesterday merely "author izes" the discharge of these men. It does not "direct" their discharge. But every man with dependent rela tives is to be given Immediate opportu nity of accepting an honorable dis charge. Married men who elect to re main in the service must, however, pre sent written statements by their wives that they have other means of support. All Commanders Notified. As soon as he received the advice from Washington yesterday, Adjutant General White notified the commanders of the Coast Artillery units by tele Kraph. He also communicated the in formation to Colonel John L. May, com mander of the Third Oregon, which al ready has been called into the Federal service, and to the commanders of the cavalry and artillery units which now are preparing for Federal calls. The records do not show the number of married men in the service but it is believed to be comparatively small. Most of them are among the non-commissioned officers who receive 6lightly higrher pay than the privates. The Third Oregon now is enlisted up to full war strength and "It is Improba ble that the places of the men dis charged will be filled immediately, as the War Department now requires only the full peace strength. But the Coast Artillery, the Field Ar tillery and cavalry units will enlist eingle men to replace every married man discharged. Bo it is to be an army of unmarried lads that is to fight this country's bat tles unless the war drags along far enough so that the benedicts will be needed to give the Kaiser a good trimming. Several Reasons Advanced It is understood that the War De partment has several very good rea sons for not wanting married men iu the ranks. First, a married man "with the responsibilities of supporting a family is apt to worry more or less about them; second, the Government would feel morally obliged to support these dependent persons, which would require heavy additional expenditures; third, the, possibility of future heav pension claims are reduced to a mini mum in an army of single men. Members of the two cavalry troops are eager to recruit ,up to full war strength, as they are hoping for an early call into active service. They will open their recruiting station at 106 Fourth street this morning, and want to enlist 60 men today. Applicants must be sound in body, unmarried and must know something about horses. Experienced riders are preferred. The Coast Artillery corps has been on the alert for the last two days in constant expectation of an immediate call. All officers and men are ready and anxious to go. Unofficial reports emanating from Washington in the last few days indicate that the Coast Artillery will be the next unit called Into service. The Oregon Coast Artillery consists or 12 companies, well trained and finely officered. Most companies are . recruited to near the limit. All would be filled on short notice at the pros pect of early service. KAISER HELD DOOMED DR. BOYD SAYS WORLD CANNOT ALLOW AtTOCRACY LONGER. Ttto Germanya Are Compared and Cause of Militarism Is Found to Run Back to Medieval Times. Rev. John H. Boyd, of the First Presbyterian Church, moved an audi ence of more than 1600 to applause and tears during an address on "The Two Germanys, the One We Should Admire and Revere, and the One We Should Oppose." Dr Boyd compared the present world situation with that of this country at the time of the Civil War, when Abra ham Lincoln declared that "No nation can exist half free and .half slave." Dr. Boyd inferred the same impossi bility of existence for civilization if the world should be half democratic and half under the domination of the Hohenzollern autocracy. He took as his text Isaiah, 3:10, "For they shall eat of the fruits of their own doings." Dr. Boyd eulogized the old Germany; spoke of her as the cradle of many movements for the enlightenment of civilization, as the main force in the overthrow of the detestable Roman em pire, and of the ambitions of Napoleon, as well as being the birthplace of the Renaissance and the Reformation. He spoke of wide scope of German genius that embraced within its mighty grasp all fields or art, science and phll- osophy. Including the ability in the higher sence to make a practical appli cation of these ideas. Starting with William Frederick, ac cording to Dr. Boyd, a dangerous ele ment began to creep into the German character. Germany became "Prussian ized." Her ideals were molded by her great leaders, William Frederick in po litical economy, Frederick the Great in militarism, and Bismarck in an ambi tion for extension. The chief characteristics of "Prus sia n i s m " are a "consuming egotism" and a belief in a divine mission, that Is racial In Its scope. This belief that Germany was to realize within herself the salvation of the world and then to bring- the world under her dominion, combined with the philosophy of . egotism, led Germany into the fold of an iron doctrine of militarism. The German people were not led Into the war by any group of militarists, according to Dr. Boyd, but they have been so Imbued with the principles of imperial dominion and national soli darity that they entered into and have persisted through the conflict as an inseparable unit. In conclusion, he said that Americans should not hate Germany but should strike for Germany and bring her out from under her cloud of Prusslanlsm into a new kultur and regard for hu manity. v DEAF HIKER SEEKS CURE G. E. PINTO, OK BOSTON, COVERS 80OO MILES ON WALK, Hearing- Lost While Play-true Fiaao Once Recovered for Short Tim y Durlnx Storm. G. E.

INDEMNITY JS HOPE YET German Conservative Hints at Final Aim of War. AMSTERDAM, via London, April IB. Count Frederick von TV estarp, con UNIVERSITY BE ARMED servatlve leader in the German Reich-1 ation at the Wurtemburg Conservative party congress in Stuttgart, said the conservatives never had taken the American danger lightly, but there had been no ground for pessimism. The submarine warfare, he said, so far had Justified every sane expectation. The increase in snbmarine construction In the last few months had exceeded the losses many times, and this would con tinue. Continuing, the Count said: "Speaking with circumspection, 1 may say that the submarine wariare as carried on now is a weapon with which we will assuredly, in the not tistant future, force England to con clude the peace we want." What sort of a peace that would Da Count von Westarp, according to the Deutsche Tages Zeltung report of the meeting, did not explain, but he con fined himserr to emphasizing' that without a large war indemnity we must look to the future with the gravest apprehension." Count von Wes tarp "added: "This Is a war of a Joint trust of Anglo-American capitalism against the German nation of workers. Therefore, It is most Important that the financial foundations of the German empire laid by peace be sound and promising for the future. Chairman- von Kraut declared that regarding the electoral reforms the conservatives would not hold aloof from ameliorating legislation, but at the same time they would adhere unshak- ablv to the firm basis of the Constitu tion and a strong. Independent mon archy standing above all parties. DEPUTIES HELD READY WASHINGTON SHERIFFS PREPARE TO QCELL ANY DISORDERS. Few Thousand Men Thronghoot State An Sworn la jo Aid Government! Serving; Without Pay. VANCOUVER, Wash., April 15. (Spe cial.) Throughout the state of Wash ington there are a few thousand Deputy Sheriffs recently appointed by tho va rious Sheriffs in the state, as a result of action taaen by Sheriff E. S. Bie secker, president of the Washington State Sheriffs' Association. These Dep uty Sheriffs are sworn in to quell mobs, riots, prevent the destruction of prop erty which in war time might be of value to the Government and to see' that the United States flag is not in sulted or defamed. In Vancouver alone there are 60 Dep uty Sheriffs, all prepared in case of emergency. The names of these men are known only to the Sheriff and to each .other, as they were sworn in as a body. Sheriff Biesecker communicated with D. E. Nicholson, secretary of the Sher iffs' Association, at Walla Walla, and Instructed him to write to the Sheriffs of all counties in the state and re quest that as many Deputy Sheriffs as it Is deemed necessary be appointed as a war measure. In the larger cities this number runs into the hundreds. Should trouble start anywhere one or more Deputy Sheriffs would probably be on the scene at once. They serve without pay, but they are serving their country, and it behooves those who may not be patriotically Inclined to curb their speech and actions.

SHARP DEBATE EXPECTED Espionage Legislation Likely to Come In for Argument Dis cussion of Draft Bill to Be Taken X7p Today. WASHINGTON, April 15. Rapid progress on tho ever mounting pro gramme of war legislation is planned by Congress during the coming week. The $7,000,000,000 revenue authoriza tion bill passed by the House unani mously yesterday, is tho first and im mediate consideration. It will be sub mitted tomorrow to the Senate: will be reported favorably almost immediately by the finance committee and will be passed not later than Tuesday, accord ing to leaders' expectations. Approval virtually without opposition is regard ed certain Following the bond authorisation will come in both houses war taxations. Navy and Army espionage, financial and industrial mobilization bills and other wartime measures. The esplonw age measure, which is expected to pro voke considerable debate, will be pressed for prompt passage by Ad ministration leaders. The conference report on the general deficiency bill. Including a J100.000.000 emergency fund appropriation for President Wilson to use at his dis cretion in prosecuting the war, prob ably will be adopted in both houses to morrow.

RIVER STILL DROPPING FLOOD NOT EXPECTED TO REACH LOWER DOCKS OR FRONT STREET. Rain or Chinook Wind Would Hasten Melting; or Snow and Higher State. In spite of heavy rains which fell practically all day, the Willamette River continued to go down at Port land yesterday, and last night at 6:3QJ the reading, according to the Govern ment gauge at Morrison bridge, was exactly 10 feet above normal A drop of .2 of a foot was observed for tho 24-hour period ending at 7 o'clock yesterday morning, and there was an additional drop of .3 of a toot by 6:30. . In the opinion of old-timers along the waterfront the water will not get high enough, unless unforeseen condi tions arise, to flood lower docks and basements along Front street. It would be necessary for the river to rise sev eral feet more for such a condition, and this is not considered likely. With the coming of warm weather and the consequent melting of snow in the mountains, a flooded condition of the river at Portland is expected to be brought about which may prove to be greater than at present. A stage of water, which will cause any material damage along the waterfront, is not anticipated this year, however, owing to the lack of snow In the mountains. This- is due greatly to the fact that the precipitation during the past Win ter was not as heavy as usual. It Is admitted that a warm rain or AMUSEMENTS.
