Newspaper Page TextTHE 3IORXING OREGONIAN, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, .1917. .5 BERHANY LAUDED Hi SCHOOL 800K "lm Vaterland" Aims to Teach Knowledge and Love of Ger man Language and Art. WHOLE TONE UN AMERICAN Anomaly Exists of Teaching Port land Youngsters That Kaiser Is Greatest Living Man, While -Soldiers AVould Slay Him. If your son has gonn to war and you ere buying liberty bonds, paying war taxes, subscribing to Red Cross and other funds, and in between whiles spending: much time in systematically hating the Kaiser, if you found a book containing his picture with much lau datory material about him and his now d.pised country being used . in Tortland high schools so that your daughter and younger, sons might toroaden their love of things German, wouldn't it jar you? Yet this state of affairs does exist In this and other cities of the country. Third-year German students in Port land high schools are directed to use as one German text the book "Ira Va terland," by Paul Valentine Bacon, an American, published in 1910. The book was adopted as a textbook in 1913, recommended by committees of teach ers and ratified by the School Board. Books in use in Portland high schools contain pictures of Kaiser Wilhelm, with Princes and Generals, although "lm Vaterland. when purchased at lo cal book stores, has the Emperor's like ness deleted. Deletion Not Ordered. ' The deletion apparently is the work of patrons of the bookstore who wanted to "strafe" the (Kaiser and Germany. Executives at the book store said the pages were not torn out by the attaches of the store, and said also that-no request to eliminate those pages before selling the book had come from the School Board or anyone else. "It is undoubtedly the Work of book vandals," said an attache of the store. "The pages probably offended some one who was viewing the book and he Burreptitiously tore them out." It also contains much that In these days of stress produced by the war Americans are loath to subscribe to. "Deutschland t'ber Alles," the song that has been so much quoted during the war, is there, with other German tongs. Statements of Germany's great ness, in fact her avowed superiority in comparison with other countries, are in the book, and it is declared to be anti-American. Love of German Waya Object. The author says in his preface that It is the aim of the publication to broaden and deepen the American's knowledge and love of the German lan guage, music, poetry and people, and the book is accordingly a faithful pic ture of German life. After the manu script was completed, it was criticised by teachers in Prussia. Saxony and Bavaria. ' German thought and feeling. ( says the author, with the joy in life and the ardent patriotism which are marked characteristics of the true German, are presented. Paul E-.Schwabe, head of the Ger man department at Lincoln High School, who has taken"- out his first citizenship papers, said last night he HAIR COMING OUT? Dandruff causes a feverish Irritation ef the scalp, the hair roots shrink, loos en and then the hair comes out fast. To atop falling hair at once and rid the acalp of every particle of dandruff, get a. 26-cent bottle of Danderina at any drug store, pour a little in your hand rub it Into the scalp. After few applications the hair stops ccrr.ing out and J ou can't find any dandruii. YOUR SICK CHILD IS CONSTIPATED! LOOK AT TONGUE Hurry, Mother! Remove Poisons From Little Stomach, ; Liver Bowels. Give "California Syrup of Figs" if Cross, Bilious or Feverish. T thinks the book hardly a wise selec tion at this ttme.- However, he said, he knows of no one who has been of fended by its use as yet. and it was written and adopted for use before the war. "I would be glad to translate the book for the information of the School Board, should the members so desire," said Mr. Schwabe. "As for the picture of the Kaiser. I have rather made fun of that in my classes, and asked my students to pay no attention to that feature of it." Publisher 1 1 ax Contract. Professor T. T. ravis, principal of Lincoln High, fcaid he, personally, knew little German, but that he intends to investigate the book fully. As he re calls it. the book was adopted because German students and German people favored it. This was in 1913. The study of German has somewhat lost in popularity, believes Professor Davis, this year. Fewer students are taking it than formerly. Contracts with the publisher of text books in use locally are somewhat binding. They call for tho use of the books for four years, and attempts to break - these agreements are scowled uton. The Board has recently had some experience along this line with Muzzey's American history. It is ex pected, however, '"lm Vaterland" is in for a. close scrutiny by the school au thorities. Because the Kaiser is not available now they may banish his pic ture in lieu of him. Translations Are Given. The moot "Deutsehland Uber Alles" is somewhat disconcerting when found in a textbook in an American school in these days. A part or this song runs thus: "German, Germany, above all else. Above everything in the world. If in defense and offense she firmly holds together, From Maas to the Memel. From the Adige to fhe Baltic; Germany, Germany, above everything, Above everything in the world." Then there is Kuno Francke's "Amer ica's Greetings to Germany," from which the following are exceprts: "O, Germany, of all your children, none love you so dearly as w-e Ger mans, far from you across the sea! ."You are more to us than mother, you are the peace of our lives: you are our dreams and our laughter, you are a blessing to our work. "O, Germany, glory of all the lands under the wide heavens, accept, to the day of honor, greetings from the new world." Love for the Kaiser and laudation of Germany's militaristic policy are expressed in the book. The following are quotations along this line: "Kaiser Wilhelm's first wish is to serve the German nation. . "The militaristic Crown Prince Is greatly beloved by the German people. "Germany must have a great army because it is surrounded by enemies. "Germany is great because of the Bismarck "blood and iron' formula. "The Germans have proven on many battlefields that they fear no one. "King Wilhelm of Prussia, Bismarck and Von Moltke, Germany's 'blood and iron' wielders, were great men. "None o' Germany's children love her so much as the Germans who have come to America. "Germans who have left the Father land must never forget the German tongue, but must hold it as the dearest of all gifts, or woe be to them."

TAFT LEADS HOVE -TO UPHOLD WILSON Ex-President Opposes, Paci fist Resolution Offered at Unitarian Conference. PEACE DEPENDS ON PACTS 74 ARE TO GO OCTOBER 3 List of Clarke County's Third Con- . tlngent Not Completed. VANCOUVER, Wash., Sept. 26. (Spe ciaL) The third contingent of Clarke County's quota of soldiers for the United States Army, to leave Van couver October 3, will be 69, with five alternates. This leaves but 15 per cent, or 26, to complete the quota on the first call. A partial list of those who will go October 3 has already been received, but the full list is not yet here. An effort will be made to get it at the earliest moment so as to give those going as much time as possible. Speaker Asserts "League to En force Peace"' Impracticable as Long as Present Military Caste Rules Germany. MONTREAL, Sept. 26. The general conference of Unitarian and other Christian churches at its 27th annual session here today repudiated by an overwhelming vote a "pacifist" reso lution concerning the entrance of the United. States Into the war and fol lowed the leadership of ex-President William Howard Taft in adopting a resolution approving President Wil son's action and declaring that "the war must be carried out to a successful issue." Mr. Taft addressed the conference to night. "America and her allies cannot con cede peace until they conquer it," he said. "Peace now, even though it be made on the basis of the restoration of the status quo, would be a failure to achieve the great purpose for which the allies have made heartrending sacri fices. He who proposes peace now, therefore, either does not see the stake for which the allies are fighting, or wishes the German military autocracy still to control the destinies of all of us." Mr. Taft described the organization and purpose of the "League to Enforce Peace in the United States and of the League of Nations Society in England and added: Peace Depends on Treaties. "Whatever the detailed stipulations of such a league, however, its opera tion and success must depend upon the obligations of treaty stipulations. Un lets their binding effect is recognized by the nations as a sacred principle, the stipulations of the league will be 'writ in water." The revelations and disclosures of this war satisfy the members of the league that as long as the present military caste controls the German military and foreign policy the league is impracticable, and would not be worth the parchment on which its obligations would' be recorded. "Intrigue, dishonor, cruelty have characterized the entire military policy of Germany. And now her Emperor, her present military caste and her won derful but blinded people have the blood of the millions who have suffered in this world catastrophe on their hands." JuMt Peace Insisted Upon "President Wilson," the speaker con tinued, "says the allies are fighting to make the world safe for democracy. Their purpose is to end the military pol icy and foreign policy or Germany that looks to the maintenance of a military and naval machine with its hair-triggepq preparation for use against her neighbors. "When the war is won." said Mr. Taft in conclusion, "the United States will wish to be heard and will have the right to be heard as to the terms of peace. The United States willy Insist upon a just peace; not one of material conquest. It Is a moral victory the world should win. I think I do not mistake the current of public senti ment throughout the entire country in saying that our people will favor an international agreement by which the peace brought about through such bloodshed and suffering and destruc tion and enormous sacrifice shall be preserved by the joint power of the world TROOPS THAI FRIEND LUNCHES GIVEX THIRD OREGON BY WILLIAM RE IDT ENJOYED. Chaplain Gilbert Writes to Portland Man Inviting Him to Visit Boys at Charlotte, N. C. William Reidt. who has taken a great deal of interest in the welfare of the men of tho Third Oregon Infan try, which entrained at Clackamas last week for Camp Greene. Charlotte, N. C, yesterday received a letter from Chap lain Gilbert, which was written in Cali fornia. The letter in part follows: "All's well and we are skimming along toward the south. I want to thank you again for the fine lunches. I passed them out among the men and every car was well supplied, as people passed on lunch boxes at every sta tion. We are going to look for you. at Charlotte, and wa may take you with us to France." Mr. Reidt probably has done more to aid the Third Oregon than any other one man. When anything was needed at the Clackamas camp, all the boys needed to do was tell him and the thing most desired was forthcoming. He said last night in reply to the question whether or not he would go to Charlotte to see the soldiers before they left for France, "I think I will within the next month or so, but at the present time I am going to be mighty busy, for I am now interested in the campaign to raise $26,000 for the other soldiers who are fighting for their country. However, if my boys are still at Charlotte after I have done my share here I will go down and Bee them." Kekoma Timber Tract Bought. EUGENE. Or., Sept. 26. (Special.)

Fletcher's Castoria is nothing new. We are not asking you to try an experi ment. We just want to impress upon you the importance of buying Fletcher's. Your physician will tell you this, as he knows there are a number of imitations on the market, and he Js particularly interested in the welfare of your baby. Letters from Prominent Physicians addressed to Chas. H. Fletcher. Dr. B. Halstead, Scott, of Chicago, Ills., says: "I have prescribed yonr" Castoria often for infanta during ray practice, and find it very satisfactory. Dr. "William Belmont, of Cleveland, Ohio, says: "Your Castoria stands first In its class. In ay thirty years of practice I can say I never have found anything that so filled the place." Dr. J. H. Taft, of Brooklyn, N. Y., says: "I have used your Castoria and found it an excellent remedy In my household and private practice for many years. The formula Is excellent." Dr. R. J. Hamlen, of Detroit, Mich., Bays: "I prescribe your Castoria extensively, as I have never found anything to equal It for children's troubles. I am aware that there are Imitations In the field,, but I always see that my patients get Fletcher's."; Dr.Wm.J McCrann. of Omaha, Neb., says: "As the father of thirteen children I certainly know something about your great medicine, and aside from my own family experience I have In my years of practice found Cas toria a popular and efficient remedy In almost every home." Dr. J. R. Clausen, of Philadelphia, Pa., says: "The name that your Cas toria has made for Itself In the tens of thousands of homes blessed by the presence of children, scarcely needs to be supplemented by the endorse ment of the medical profession, but I, for one, most heartily endorse It and believe It an excellent remedy." Dr. R. M."v7ard, of Kansas City, Mo., says: "Physicians generally do not prescribe proprietary preparations, but In the case of Castoria my experi ence, like that of many other physicians, has taught mo to make an ex ception. I prescribe your Castoria in my practice because I have found it to be a thoroughly reliable remedy for children's complaints. Any physi cian who has raised .a family, as I have, will Join me in heartiest recom mendation of Castoria." GENU1HE CASTORSA ALWAYS JBears the Signature of mm . - .nT fl PFR GEM.
