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."

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

but the full list is not yet here. An
effort will be made to get it at the

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."

Physicians Recommend Castoria
10U know the real human doctors right around in your neighborhood:
the doctors made of flesh and blood just like you: the doctors with souls and
hearts: those men who are responding to your call in the dead of night as readily
as in the broad daylight; they are ready to tell you the good that Fletcher's
Castoria has done, is doing and will do, from their experience and their love
for children.
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."
