Rogers, in Portland. NEED OF MONARCHY SHOWN Professor W. MacVerle Dixon, of Glasgow University, Asserts Eng land Only Wants Assurance That Food May Be Had. F.er. R. TV. Rorer. who ha held Ira- p-Ttmnt patorl in and around San Krancltco. Is passing a few days In Portland and Is tn receipt of an Inter- etin(r letter from Professor W. Mao neila Dlnon. of Glasgow Unirerstty. who Is one of Lloyd Georce's rlrht-hand men. In regard to Great Britain's atti tude toward toe Internationalization of ' the seas and the sia-nlf lcanca of har . monarchy. - Dr. Rog-era wrote- Professor Dixon personally In rea-ard to these wtdery dlscnssed subjects and received the following- reply, which was mailed No vember 14. but did not reach him until . the first of this weak here at Portland: Jr Dear Sir: I should ery ld!y write ' at Irncth to yon ea the Interestlne; points yom rmiee. but that we are practical;? la the soae ef war aad r prl tor time that U le difficult te do er think of any. . thin but ear Immediate taaka. Am to Uie Irterutlonaltsatloa ef the eeaa, as we aeretand It- they are absolutely Internation alised er free to all nations la tlmee ef . peace, aad as history clearly shows, largely ewlac to Britain's e'forte In the past. She has always contended for that freedom. In ttooe of war ebe claim, of course, to es erctee her power there, as Oermaay claims to eierdee hers ea land, bet only la tlmee mt war and acalast her enemies or those assisting them. It Is ebvleal that, to a country which . lleea by tae sea aad la absolutely depeadeat oa tt for food as well as raw material, a strong navy for the protection of commerce and shipping Is essential. Without It Brit ain's national life would be Impossible; she would long since have ceased to exist. As to any control of the seas la time of peace. It la never dreamed of. and Indeed the question never arises. The eeas were as free to Germany before the war as to Britain If machinery to enforce peace could be pro vided by any lea me of nations no country could be more wining or eager than Britain for Ita establishment. All her Interesta are bound op with Ita permanent maintenance. Ton spoke of the monarchy. It Is a purely titular affair. Britain may be de scribed as a crowned republic, and her soverelsw has vastly less personal power than your trealdent. The title of King has Its usee because In such places as India and Evypt personal rule alone la understood, and the republican Idea as yet totally uafa- mlllar. We are here confident that the present strusgle Is a critical one for the whole world, and that unless the free peoples exhibit ths firmest determination to see the matter through, the future la dark In deed. We shall have might enthroned over light and the Ideals which humanity has so painfully attained thrust beneath the feet or a military oeepousm. With kind greetlncs. sincerely yours. W. MACNEILB DIXON. Mr. Ropers points out that this let ter If It expresses the opinion of Eng lish thought that la In the leadership, ta there Is every reason to believe that It does Indicates that President Wil ton's advocacy of free seas will be ac ceptable to England provided a league of nations or a loose federation Is formed. -And." he continued, "with the gradual famlliarlilna; of the peoples of Egypt and India with republican Ideas and the development of a league of na tion Into a close federation, the day will come when there will be no more kings. For the American Ideal, which Is essentially the Ideal of liberal Eng land and France, Is more and more be ing recognized aa a world Ideal, which can establish International order and assure a lasting peace. "Never In the history of the world have armies contended for a cause so sacred as the allies are now fighting. It Is. la the true sense of the word, a holy war. And It must be won be cause of the opportunity of democratlo reconstruction that will follow the vic tory of the allies' arms. And It will be won sooner or later because the right la sure to prevail. MYSTIC ACT IS CLEVER "WinELESS GIRL" BIG FEATURE OF I1IPPODROMK BILL New fork hotels, under the Hoover Ised system of food conservation, are saving 20 barrels of flour and more than 100 tons of meat every week. Acrobatic, Comedy aad Blaslcal Soj be re Help te Make Show One at Beat for the Season. If yon are a follower of the mystic and an Investigator of psych lo phenom ena, go to the Hippodrome this week and enjoy Jean Dawn's act. Jean will mystify you and your investlgalng will go for sought, for how on earth sheH receives the thought messages sent out by the audience and verified in each Individual Instance Is beyond con jecture. Jean Is called the "wireless girl." but she is more clever than the wire less, for It has a sending and recelv. ing station and Jean uses only her clever head and no apparatus whatso ever. She completely bamboosles the know-it-alls In the audience, and when the curtain falls the applause Is deaf ening. Her partner la a keen chap named Jack Allen, who is billed aa "the op erator." He plays the piano by wire less, again mystifying the folk out In front, by playing requested numbers, sent him by thought transmission. Adanao Trio, which transferred backwards spell Canada, but have nothing to do with 'the nativity of the trio. Is a clean-cut, interesting, musi cal novelty. Their featured number is a medley of airs, patriotic!, popular and classical, played on the saxophone, and merging finally Into a beautiful rendi tion of the sextette from "Lucia." This trio also features the French horn, the cello and the pleasing little ocarina, and In all their offerings mel ody predominates. A pair of dusky chaps, Kelly and Davis, offer a capital act In which they are billed as "Assassinators of the Blues." If they won their title be cause they are first-class murderers of blue.devlls and can put sadness and gloom clear off the map, they are sure ly entitled to the name, for they are certainly gloom chaser with their comedy patter exchange and eccentrio stepping. A pleasing number is that of the Aleva Duo, a girl with a big coon ehoutlng voice and a man who under stands melody, too. They specialize In a stirring war song set to comedy, and together they amble delightfully along harmony lane. Opening the bill is an acrobatic num ber of unusual merit presented by Beatrice Sweenie and Jessie Benton, billed as ""Dainty Divers of Gymnas tics Beautiful." Their act is artistic. as well as exceedingly Interesting as a study In physical culture. Another act of physical prowess, and one that is sensational in its developments. Is the athletic surprises offered by the Lavlne Trio. Edna Goodrich, Nat Good win's third wife. Is featured in the fascinating and dramatic photoplay, called "Reputation." FIVE SLEEPERS PROVIDE FOR PAS SENGERS ON NIGHT IllN. FOOD SURVEYS NEGLECTED Attention Called to Time Limit of January 10 for Replies.

Among some of the Interesting figure in County Agent Keyea' report for the first alx months, the following show the need and work of a county agent for the farming community: Nine hundred letters were written, 154 farm visits were made. 94 calls at the office were made by persons looking for in formation and the agent co-operated In 41 meetings of 1647 farming people. Service Not L'p to Standard on Ac count of Trouble From Storm, Bnt Improvement Promised. Ths demand for a night service be tween Portland and Puget Sound was met last night by the railroads In adding five Pullmans to the express train leaving- Portland at 10:30 P. M. The O.-W. R. et N. Co.. the Great North ern Railway and the Northern Pacific Railway co-operaced in establishing the service and each line has a share of the reservations for disposal. These are the only Pullman cars now in service between Portland and Puget Sound cities, flood conditions and water, trouble along the line making it inadvisable to add to the weight of trains when possible to avoid it. Four of the sleepers are run to Seattle and one to Tacoma. The Pullman equipment was added to the run as the result of the conference the past two days at Seattle, where of ficials of the Northwest lines studied the situation. When the three trains a day to Puget Sound replaced nine dally trams, no provision was made for night trains, and Pullman cars were eliminat ed from the run, due chiefly to the soft tracks. The night train was an express train, only, carrying mail, parcel post and ex press and the passenger cars are added to it. Schedules now being made are far from satisfactory, however, as the night train, southbound, which left Se attle at 10:30 Wednesday night and was due In Portland at 7 o'clock yes terday morning, did not arrive until 12:15 P. M. yesterday. Northbound, the trains are making just about as slow time, but It is ex pected that when track conditions re turn to normal, there will be much im proved schedules and that the service generally will meet with public demands.
