At that time I respect fully ask the privilege of personally appearing before the board to answer the charges that have been brought against me by the Kufcene Commercial Club. I deeply regret that the "board of regents Should have forced upon them this unpleas ant and unmerited responsibility. I tried to avoid It for the University by offering: to Jay before the Chamber of Commerce all h facts in the case that they might have an opportunity to modify or withdraw a de mand that was made without a knowledge of t he truth, but this offer was refused. Now that the University must take up the responsibility of this invest! gat ion I desire to do what T can to give' the board complete freedom for their action and to save the University from unjust agitation and pres sure. Chances Held I'alhe. . . As T see it there are only two big con siderations In the whote matter. One is the. welfare of the University ; the other is jus tice to me. I put the University first be cause 1 want it to be considered first, and because it is important to more people. Hat the clearing of my name of false charges is both important to the University and vital to me. Therefore I shall welcome the op portunity that 1 know will be granted me to place the whole truth before the regents, believing that truth and freedom will bring Justice. Nothing In this communication must be construed as an admission of any alleged facts that I have already denied; it Is an admission only of my confidence in the board of regents, whose anxiety to serve the University cannot bo greater than mine. I will appreciate an early meeting. Respect fully yours, ' AI.LEN EAJON. ouinniHiP mi i 10 uimnirn cnirmvu dill io nunniLu President Asks Action on Measure to Aid Coast Tra rric. WASHINGTON. Oct. 4.

Carpenter's Geographical Reader of Europe Declares War Is Made Only oil .Nation's Call and Kaiser Held Not Absolute. . EUGENE. Or., Oct. 4. (Special.) The discovery of a text book tn the Eu gene public schools that makes state- ents regarding Uermany wnlcn are directly at variance with the facts which the United States Government is seeking to' place before the American people caused a sensation here today. The book is "Carpenter's Geographical Header of Europe. . On page 216 a paragraph appears as follows: "The Germans are a very brave peo ple. They have had many wars in tho past and are always ready to fight for their rights. The people are fond of peace and they go to war only when the nation calls them. In this respect the German Emperor has not absolute command over the army or over his people. He can call out his soldiers at any time to defend the country .If it should be invaded, but to make an offensive war he must have the sup port of the people and the consent of the upper house of the German Parlia ment." On the following page a paragraph appears as follows: "This Congress (the German Im perial Congress) consists of two houses, the Bundesrat, which has 61 members, appointed by the govern ments of the states for each session and the Reichstag, which has 397" mem bers elected for terms of five years by all the people of Germany. In both houses there are more Prussian repre sentatives than any others, for Prussia has by far the most people and is the most powerful of "Ml the states." Franckle Is Shadowy. The untruthfulness of the statements is shown by the address of Mr. Gerard as printed in The Oregonian in part as follows: "And in Germany they don't even have the right to vote. They only have a shadow of a franchise. You read every day in the newspapers about the Reichstag. The Reichstag-is going to do this or do that, and it is for peace or against peace; but what the Reichstag does does not make any practical dif ference. The German Reichstag has no more power than a school debating so ciety. Over the Reichstag is the Sec ond Chamber. corresponding to our United States Senate, and the members of that are appointed by the 25 ruling Princes of Germany and represent them and vote as they are told by those rul ing Princes. "In Prussia the members have this sort of an arrangement: TJiey elect members, it is true, for the lower branch of the Prussian Bundesrat. Over that is the House of Lords, against which the lower chamber can do nothing, but even for the lower cham ber they are elected by a system of voting depending on wealth." Superintendent of Schools W. R. Rutherford stated tonight that Car penter's Geographical Reader of Europe is used in nearly all of the schools of the state. He said it had been recom mended by the State Department of Education. "I have not read that portion of the book dealing with Germany since the war began," he said. . "If there are statements that should come out we will apply the red ink." H. D. LANGILLE IS MAJOR Widely Known Portland Man With. Crack Foresters' Regiment. H. D.
