"American genius will meet the test,"
he said. .
He told "how the great Liberty air
plane motor had been builded in Wash
ington after French and English and
Italian airplane experts had said that
the task of designing and' building H
standardized motor in parts, so com
pact as to weigh not more than two
pounds per horsepower and so standard
ized that any part could be replaced by
another part from another motor of
the same type, was impossible or would
take at least one year.
"One year! And we hadn't a year!
We put the two best motor experts In
the United States into a room In the
Willard Hotel, told them .w hat we
wanted, and those men in one week had
drafted the plans for the Liberty
motor,"' . said Secrotary Lace.
? 'Motor Built In SO Days.. -""Those
plans were sent broadcast to
plants through the country, the parts
were drawn together as manufactured,
and within 30 days that motor was put
up and tested in the Bureau of Stand
ards at Washington.
"When you are asked to buy a lib
erty bond if you have a boy in France,
or one who is going to l'rance think
of the aeroplane.
"When yo hear of the capture of a
recovered town or village, or of the
taking of another Vimy Ridge, think
to yourself: 'I bought a 5$00 bond
its Trained in my drawing room,' and
go before that bond and say, 'I helped
to carry Vimy Ridge."
"There is no man whose boy goes to
the front who does not think it Is his
part to help that boy. to help win bat
tles, to help win the war. And it's the
dollar now. right now, thatis vital.
Dollars. Will Make Enemy Yield.
"You cannot tell how soon the war
wll lbe won," he emphasized, "for you
do not know the strength or weakness
of internal Germany.
"The Germans know that we ht4 a
determined people of 100,000.000 popu
lation: they know that with our re
sources of men, minerals, wool, lumber,
wheat, iron, copper, mechanics, inven
tions and manhood they know that
they must yield to us some time.
"Make that time as soon as possible.
That's why we are floating liberty
bonds." .
He spoke of the German government
and .its ideal of empire, and of the
German people, and of the difference
in so many ways between the govern
ment and the people.
System Being Fought.
"We want to say to that government
of Germany," said he, "that has brought
this curse on the world, that this thing
must end, that the system that has
brought this thing to pass must end.
"For we are fighting no man. We're
fighting a system a system that in its
nature is antagonistic-, to the system
we represent: a system that is based
on individual ambition and force, on
the ideal of empire, and the imposition
of the wills of a few on the many; a
system that is incompatible with the
ideal of democracy, that makes against
the peace of the world we are against
That system, we must put down that
eysteni, and that is why we are in this
war. .
All Germans Not Condemned.
"I know Germans, individual Ger
mans by the hundred," went on the
f- Secretary. "I know their many good
qualities, - their warmness of heart,
their sincere friendship, and I cannot
bring myself to feel hostility against
these men.
"There ie a Germany that I know,
and you know, that is a lovable Ger
many. A Germany that has given the
world poetry, and music, and science,
lessons in municipal government; that
lias given the world lessons in indus
trial efficiency but that is not the
Germany we are fighting.
"I want that better internal Ger
many to come out and show itself. I
want It to have the chance to assert it
self, and to say 'the day of Napoleons
and Caesars has past; we wish to live
in peace and harmony with the world
and with our brothers.'
"When the spirit of this Germany
comes to that point, then the United
- States will extend its hand and say:
'This is the Germany that we love.' "
Secretary Lane spoke briefly abc.it
the underlying causes of the war. the
intrigues, the terrorism of Germany,
which he declared were a constant
menace to the free and democratic
countries of the world.
Effect on Neighbor Noted.
"We cannot have a neighbor country
written notes like the Zimmerman note
to Mexico." he said.
"Wc cannot have neutral nations to
the south dealt with as Germany dealt
. w'-ith Argentine. There was no country
V rnore willing to remain neutral than
Argentine Republic. Tet German's
Minister asks the Swedish Minister to
convey messages to Germany which
outline a policy of ruthlessness upon
the sea against the republic, that of

"Can you conceive life for an Amer

and intrigues like that? Can you con
ceive a state of mind in the 20th cen
tury that can think in terms of that
kind?
"These men who run Germany are
living in the past. They do not know
that the- day of arbitrary might has
gone by.'- They do not know that the

"We are going to fight this fight

unthinkable that this country should fall
with Itn second - loan six months after the
declaration of war; and
whereas. Failure to provide the necessary
money would mean failure properly to pro
vision and equip our troops. An army Insuf

Whereas. Oregon's share of the fund re

sum too large to be raised without the co
operation of the whole people. Kvery Ore-
Ronian with an income should consider it a
duty and a privilege to purchase one or more
bonds, in proportion to nls means. The gov

world than a loan to the United States: s
Now. therefore, by virtue of the authority

we cannot fail to have the co-operation
which will spell success.
In testimony whereof. I have hereunto set
my hand and caused the seal of the State
of Oregon to be hereunto affixed this tenth

CAR SHORTAGE IMMINENT
Railroad Official Points Out Danger
to Farmers Holding Grain.
SPOKANE, Wash.. Oct. 10. (Special.)
Wheat growers who refuse to sell
their grain now are running the risk
of a car shortage, which will make it
impossible for them to market their
product later.
This was the statement made today
by Waldo G. Paine, vice-president of
the Inland Empire Railroad, who is in
close touch with the grain and trans
portation situation in the Northwest.
There Is an abundance of cars available
now to move all of the wheat, if farm
ers take advantage of it immediately,
he said, but how long this supply will
last Isp roblematical, in face of the tre
mendous demands upon the roads be
ing made by the Government.
As usual, the bulk of the grain will
move to Portla-nd.

Progress of the War..
AS is customary after the attainment
of the objectives of his drives.
Field Marshal Haig on Wednesday per
mitted the British troops in Flanders
to have a breathing spell while consol
idating their gains of Tuesday along
the Ypreg front. Likewise the French
rorces on the British flank were busily
engaged in organizing their newly-won
positions.
A heavy rain fell during the day and
no attempts at strong attacks were
made by either side, although at va
rious points there were small forays in
the nature of. line straightening opera

weak attempts at counter-offensive bh
the part of the Germans. These latter
maneuvers ail were repulsed- and the
allies held the ground they won in
Tuesday's offensive.
Along th right bank of the Meilse
in the Verdun sector the Hermans north
of the Bois Le Chaume, following a vio
lent bombardment, attacked the French
line and penetrated it at several points
but were kept from proceeding further
by the fire of General retain s artillery.
In the Austro-Italian theater the
Austrians attempted to gain ground
against the Italians on the Carso pla
teau, but In the furious fighting they
were wwrsted, suffering heovy casual
ties. Along the Bainsiz7.a plateau live
ly artillery duels again are in progress.
Considerable activity both by the ar
tilery and the infantry continues on
the Riga front in the North Russia
fighting lone. Southeast of the Spitali
farm the Germans have violently bom
barded Russian positions. ,ln the mid
dle sector of this front the duels have
reached considerable proportions to the
north of Lake Mladziol.
Peace Is impossible, according , to a
statement of . the Imperial German
Chancellor, so long as Germany's an
tagonists demand German soil or try to
separate the people from their Em
peror. The news has leaked out that re
cently there was a mutiny on four bat
tleships of the German fleet at Wil
helmshaven. the capt&in of one of
which was thrown overboard and
drowned. The sailors later surren
dered and a number of them are said
to have been shot while others were
sentenced to long terms of imprison
ment. GERMAN CLASS DWINDLES
Fewer TJniversity Students Taking
' German Than Ever Before.
UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, Eugene,
Oct. 10. (Special.) While, tne univer
sity authorities hold that teaching of
German in colleges at this time should
be encouraged instead of discouraged,
on the ground that the problems of
reconstruction following this war are
to' fall largely to college trained young
men, to whom a knowledge of that
language will bo essential, the enroll
ment in the German department here
shows a big decrease this year.
There are only 169 students regis
tered in the beginning and advanced
German classes, as against 318 last
year.

his trip through France had disclosed

fCondnurd From First Pane.)
Integrity of the territory handed down
to us- a. glorious inheritance by our
forefathers can never be the object of
negotiations or concessions."
In the course of his speech, the for
eign secretary said:
"Gentlemen, a comparatively short
time has elapsed since the foreign pol
icy of the empire was discussed in de
tail In the budget committee. I need
therefore make only a kind of epilogue
to the statements already made by the
Imperial Chancellor and myself. The
efforts of the Holy See to bring about
an exchange of views between the bell
igerents have so far as we are in
formed, not yet resulted In any con
siderable step forward since the reply
by the central powers.
No New Spirit Appears.
"Although the foreign minister of
the Austro-Hungarian monarchy, in a
speech at - Budapest, pointed out that
tbe centrals were prepared in the sense
indicated by the papal note to col
laborate, not only In the termination
of the present conflict, but -in the re
construction of a Europe. nearly
ruined, there are no signs of a 'new
spirit' among our opponents, who are
clinging to the time-worn formula of
the annihilation of German militarism.
The great question prolonging the
struggle is not the future of Belgium,
but of Alsace-Lorraine.
"Great Britain, according to our in
formation, has pledged herself to
France that she will continue the fight
for the conquest of Alsace-Lorraine,
both politically and with her arms, so
long as France desires to adhere to the
programme of regaining those prov
inces. This being the actual situation,
I think it proper to give a clear and
firm statement of our attitude since,
curiously enough, there still seems to
be a misconception in this respect
among our enemies and even among
our neutral frien-is."
x Further Sacrifice Unnecessary.
When it seemed expedient to France
to accept the formula "without annexa
tions,' " continued the Secretary, "the
French resorted to the transparent
trick of bashfully covering up with the
word 'dlsannexatlon' what is in reality
a bare-faced and forceful conquest. The
trick is really too clumsy to be worthy
of repute. Now. except for France's
demand for Alsace-Lorraine, there is
absolutely no impediment to peace, no
question which could not be solved by
negotiations of a settlement in such a
way as to render superfluous the fur
ther sacrifice of blood.
"Our enemies heretofore have been
careful not to reveal their real war
alms. What they have told the world
Is a maximum programme which can
only be realized after the complete mil
itary defeat of tbe central powers.
"Our answer to our opponents' asser
tions that they cannot obtain a clear
conception of our intentions is our
reply to the Pope and the Parlimentary
discussion in connection with this. They
leave no doubt in the mids of anyone
who wishes to understand the essential
principles of our peace programme."
Wild Scene In Reichstag.
LONDON. Oct. 10. A dispatch to the
Central News from Amsterdam, says
that at the conclusion of Admiral von
Capelle's statement in the Reichstag on
the mutiny in the German navy there
were scenes of a most disorderly char
acter, the shouts from the other depu
ties. being heard loud above the furious
interruption of the Socialists.
The Centrist member, Herr Trimborn,
declared that if three deputies named
by Admiral von Capelle had trans
gressed the law it would be a question
of high treason.
The Conservative member, Herr
Krelch. said If the three men were
guilty their- parliamentary immunity
must be rescinded and that they must
be prosecuted.
"If .tbe chargeL- are true," thl mem
ber continued, "the German language
contains no word strong enough to
brand such action."
Charge Ifheld tncronndrd.
Herr Kbert. Socialist leader, said the
government ought to have considered
the effect of such grave charges on do
mestic and foreign policies. The ma
terial Admiral von Capelle had pro
duced, he added, did not Justify the
charge against the independent Social
ist, and the Chancellor had set one
party outside the pale at a moment
when a difficult situation necessitated,
the utmost unity.
"We believe It our duty to fight with
all our strength a government which
Indulges in such a policy," Herr Kbert
concluded.
Gustav Streesmann, National Lib
eral, urged the necessity of the fullest
investigation of the charges against
Deputies Haase, Vogtherr and Dltt
man, which, he said, had aroused great
suspicion as to the action of the inde
pendent Socialists.
Socialists Are Artlvr.
COPENHAGEN. Oct. 10. An un
censored report of Monday's debate in
the Reichstag shows that the Socialist
speakers produced a whole series of
instructions from the higher military
authorities concerning the "enlighten
ment campaign," which were in direct
variance to the principle of no politics
in the Army and with the general
regulations which Lieutcnant-General
Von Stein, Prussian war minister, said
governed the campaign. It was as
serted by the Socialists that the war
minister was unable to controvert this
testimony.
The Socialists also directed attention
to the fact that the general order for
enlightenment against peace was is
sued immediately after the adoption of
the Kelchstage peace resolution July
19, showing that the campaign was
directed against the Kelchstag ma
jority. They brought out also the fact
that a conference was called by the
war ministry In the middle of August
to discuss preventive measures against
strikes and that the strike movement
of the radical Socialists against the
war and food and labor conditions was
still a menace.
Members of the conference, it was
stated, advocated the suspension of the
right of assembly under certain circum
stances and the putting of the leaders
of the workmen into the army in order
to cope with strikes.
Soldier Anxious for Peace.
Heinrich Dove, radical Socllalst, who
has returned from the front, reported
to the members of the Reich6tag that
the soldiers everywhere had expressed
the desire that the war spedily be
ended.
A dispatch from Berlin says a motion
made by the Independent Socialists in
the Reichstag censuring the govern
ment and expressing the view that the
treatment of the party's Interpellation
concerning propaganda, in the army
did not meet with the views of the
Reichstag met with defeat, the social
democratic parties alone voting for it.
