TITE 3IORXIXG OREGONIATT, TUESDAY, APRIL J. 7, 1917. UNIVERSITY STARTS COMPULSORY DRILL Military Courses Also Added at Eugene and Credits Will Be Allowed.. TWO BATTALIONS FORMED Army of Captain Organizes Regiment Infantry Need for Men Mentally ' Equipped to Be Officers Is Emphasized. UNIVERSITY" OF OREGON, Eugene. April 16. (Special.) Compulsory mili tary drill for every male student of the university for the rest of the school year was decided upon by the faculty, sitting in special session this after noon. At the close of the meeting 30 of the faculty lined up with the 400 men stu dents on Kincaid Field and were or ganized into an infantry regiment of two battalllons by Caprain Willis Bhippam, of the United States Army, assigned commandant of the univer sity. Previous to the formation or com panies the men gathered in the bleach pearlng as an old darky barber in a Southern village. The story is one of Nemesis over taking a wrongdoer, and is appealing and intensely dramatic E. E. Pollock, as an octoroon, is an excellent artist; Lewis Wood as a sheriff, and Frank Howard as an undertaker fit into roles apparently written for them. The sketch is worthy a headline place. Featured on the bill are two heavy weights, Vic and Helen elephants which do a marvelous piece of team work. They dance and cut capers and perform amazing tricks at the com mand of their pretty trainer, Dolly Castle. Ned Norworth almost stops the show with his nonsenslcalities. He Is ably assisted by Billie Well.' a pretty girl, and Chick Moore. All three sing, and Ned plays the piano with comedy punc tuations. Anna Hadeen sings a patriotic song or so. Two comedy purveyors are Bil lie Bernard and Charlotte Myers, who garner in a harvest of applause. ARCANUM IS AROUSED JUSTIFICATION FOR RECEIVER SHIP IS DENIED BY OFFICIALS. Supreme Treasurer Declares Financial Standing: Is Sound Petition to Vacate la Lost. Action is being taken to vacate the receivership appointed for the Royal Arcanum by a Boston court Saturday, according to advices received by wire from Samuel N.

It is the urgent de sire of the War Department that all university students be kept at school. Princeton, Harvard and Yale, with their military camps, have set an example we are following. The experience of England Is not to be overlooked. "When the war broke and England entered the arena, her college men rushed into the ranks and were among those first killed, and England found herself handicapped with all her scien tific men, mentally equipped for of ficering, killed." There will be seven full companies of cadets and one company of faculty members. They will be drilled every day. Ben H. Williams, a veteran of the Spanish war, is captain of the faculty company. President Drills as Private. It was an Inspiration to the univer sity students to see in the ranks of the faculty company President Camp bell and Dean John Straub marching and maneuvering as privates. "We must enter into this whole heartedly," said President Campbell, end he set the example. Dean Straub is the dean of men and has been a faculty member for 30 odd years. For under classmen, the newly re quired drill will be substituted for gymnasium work. In addition they will receive an extra credit. Upper classmen are to substitute the drill course for any two-hour course. General Course Authorized. The faculty also authorized a general course In military information, four hours a week, to take which a student is . authorized to drop four hours of other university work. This course will consist of lectures, assignments and examinations by Army officers, phy sicians and scientists on subjects nec essary to the good health, discipline end success of a military force. Mili tary tactics and military law will be Included In the course, as well as sani tation, first aid. Army administration and organization, regulations and field service.

Mr. Robinson, who was supreme re gent in 1903 and 1904 and has been e member of the executive committee of the order since that time, said last night that there were no grounds for the appointment of a receiver for the order. In that the Royal Arcanum had paid every proven claim promptly since Its organization 40 years ago, paying out in that time about $190,000,000 in death benefits. He said that the order had about $6,000,000 lent to members. $4,000,000 in the emergency fund and about $1,500,000 In banks at present. The grand council session nere will open at 10 o'clock this morning at the Masonic Temple and will continue all day. There will be reports of the year's work and plans will be taken up for the coming year. Officers will be elected. BOSTON. April 18.

In the examination of the Jury, he delved into the past that many of the men themselves had forgotten. He knew some of the Jurors by their Christian names, had known them since they were boys. Mr. McGinn represents Mrs. Mary Doherty, widow of the unfortunate streetsweeper, who is seeking to re cover damages of $7500 from the Hazelwood Company, its auto driver J. W. Shearer, and an employe, E. J. Cashin, who was riding with Mr. fchearer at the time of the accident.

PAHS BILL IS GOOD THB SMART SHOP" FEATURES DOZEN PRETTV GIRLS. DEMURRAGE FIGHT IS LOST Changes In Regulations Are Denied by Commission. SALEM, Or., April 16. (Special.) Petition of the Willamette Valley Lum bermen's Association for changes in the regulations on demurrage and re ciprocal demurrage that became effect ive January 1, this year, was denied by the Public Service Commission today. In issuing its order denying the peti tion, the Commission says, in part: "We are aware the present demur rage code requires the exercise of con siderable diligence to escape the pay ment of demurrage, but such was its purpose. It was the direct outgrowth of one of the most distressing car shortages the State of Oregon has ever experienced, and was promulgated only after a most exhaustive hearing and thorough Investigation. Its primary purpose was to expedite the loading and unloading of equipment, and unless it Is shown to be unduly burdensome, until conditions have so changed as to make such action desirable, the Com mission must refuse to alter its origi nal findings.

(Special.) State Treasurer Kay today issued a statement-in which he accused ex- Gov ernor West of "playing politics" in his letter to Attorney-General Brown, in which the ex-Governor says that private funds will be forthcoming to prosecute the Pacific Land & Livestock Company cases if no state funds are found available. "The letter was written to embarrass Governor Withycombe," said Mr. Kay. "Mr. West said, when he was Gover nor, that he virtually felt the cases should be dismissed." Attitude of Guatemala Thought to Re Deciding Factor With Other Governments Moral Support, Not Soldiers, Is Desired. WASHINGTON. April 16. Prompt In dorsements from South. America of the action of the United States in taking up Germany's challenge to war are the source of great gratification to offi cials of the Administration. There re mained today only three countries Ecuador, Venezuela and Colombia which had not defined their positions, and it was believed that before the end of the week they, too, would respond. With the exception of Costa Rica, none of the Central American group had declared its attitude, but no con cern over where their sympathy will be placed has been felt at the State Department. So far Cuba is the only war spot In Latin America, but the positions as sumed by Panama and Costa, Rica place them practically in the list of warring nut Inn. 811 d almost no doubt remains that Brazil will be at war within e. few days. The only governments that have not been frank in their indorsements of the step taken by the United States are Chile and Peru, the former confin ing itself to a formal declaration of neutrality and tho latter to "deploring' the fact that the United States had heen unable to adjust her difficulty with liermanv without recourse to war. Following is the way tne otner Latin American nations, whose positions are defined, were lined up today: Cuba. Declared war against Ger many. Panama Declared her readiness to assist in any way possible in the pro tection of the Panama Canal. Costa Rica Offered her ports and other territorial waters to the United States for war needs of the American Navy. Brazil Relations broken with Ger many. Bolivia Relations broken with Ger many. Uruguay Indorsed the action of the United States and characterized Ger many's submarine warfare as an "In sult to humanity." .Paraguay Expressed sympathy with the Government of the United States "forced into war to rehabilitate the rights of neutrals." Argentina, Indorsed the action of the United States as just and right. MexlcoNeutral. State Department officials believe It possible that the Government of Ecua dor may consider itself bound to adopt a somewhat equivocal attitude because of a suggestion made several weeks ago that a conference of neutrals be held at Montevideo to study means for bringing the war to an end. Guatemala's proclamatoin pf martial la,w was still regarded here, as a pre cautionary step taken by President Ca brera preliminary to a break with Ger many. It was believed that Honduras, Salvador and Nicaragua, the remaining uncommitted nations of Central Amer ica, are awaiting action by Guatemala and that they will announce their po sitions Immediately after Guatemala speaks. The United States has looked to Latin America for moral support more than for material assistance, but there has been no disposition to underrate the material assistance that might be rendered if it became necessary. The total peace strength of Latin America's armies is only 334,000 men, but the potential power is several times that. and reports from the South, American republics have indicated that no time will be lost in raising fighting: forces to tneir run war strength.

The proposed new county road code is attacked In a referendum petition filed with secretary of State Olcott today tor approval as to form. The county road code is contained in House bill 509 of the last session. The petition comes f rom ' the . urn. visional committee of a meeting re cently held in Clackamas County, but is forwarded by E. E. Brodie, of Oregon City, as printer. The road code provides for the man ner of surveying and laying out county roaas: provides for the office of County Koadmaster and does away with road supervisors, making it optional in counties where it is so desired to have deputy roadmasters who perform the duties prescribed for county road su pervisors.
