UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, Eugene,
Or., Oct. 4. (Special.) Allen H. Eaton,
the university professor whose at
tendance at the meeting: of the Peoples
Council for Democracy and Peace
t louscht charges of un patriotism and
demands for his removal from the fac
ulty of the University of Oregon, to-r.ig-ht
tendered his resignation to Presi
dent Campbe'I, ' but will continue his
tt:tie at the university until the board

In the absence of Judffe Robert Bean,

fornia, Vice-President A. O. Lixcn to
day called a meeting: of the recrents for
October 20. 10 days notice being: neces
sary. Mr. Eaton's letter of resignation,
Addressed to President Campbell, is as
follows:
Hearing In Requested.
I herewith hand you my resignation as a
Tnmber of the faculty of the University of
OrfRon, with the request that it be placed
before the board of resents for their con
sideration a soon as they shall be able to
meet in full board session. 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.

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."
