We are indomitable in our power of independent action, and can, in no circumstances, concent to live in a world governed by intrigue and force. Having set our hand to the taek of achieving it (a new interna tional order), we shall not turn back. The power of the United States is a menace to no nation or peo ple. It will never be used in aggression or for the aggrandizement of any selfish interest of our own. It springs out of freedom and is for the service of freedom. Our resources are in part mobilized now, and we shall not pause until they are mobilized in their entirety. Our whole war strength will be put into this war of emancipa tionemancipation from the threat and attempted mastery of selfish groups of autocratic rulerswhatever the difficulties and present partial delays. We cannot have general peace for the asking, or by the mere ar rangements of a peace conference. , All the parties to this war must join in the settlement of every issue anywhere involved in it because wbat we are seeking is a peace that we can all unite to guarantee and maintain, and every item of it must be submitted Lo the common judgment, whether it be right and fair, an act of justice rather than a bargain between sovereigns.. The United States haa no desire to interfea,in European affairs, or to act as arbiter in European territorial disputes. But she (America) entered this war because she was made a partner, whether she would or not, in the sufferings and indignities inflicted by the military maftrs of Germany; against the peace and security of mankind; and the conditions of peace will tquch her as nearly as they will touch any other nation to which is entrusted a leading part in the maintenance of civilization. Count von Hertling'a reply is, I must say, very vague and very confusing. Count Czernin seems to see the fundamental elements of peace with clear eyes and does not seek to obscure them. He probably would have gone much farther had it not been for the embarrassments of A Iria's alliances and of her dependency on Germany.

Phe cannot ree her way to peace nntll the catisea of thia war are removed. Ita renewal rendered aa nearly as may be Impossible. Klsbla et Sssall atlwa IMaregarded. " Tbe war bad its roots In the disre gard of tbe rights of small nation and of nation. itlea which lacked tne union and tne force to make good heir riulm to determine their own allegiance and their own tortus ol political life. Cotenanle must now be entered Into which will ree!er such things Im possible for the futune: and these covenanta must ba backed by the united force of ail the nations that lot Justtc and are willing lo main tain It at any coat. If territorial et tlement ard the political relation of great population which have not the organised power to resist ere to b determined by the contract of the powerful government which consider themselves raoxt directly affected, a Count von Hertllng propose, why may not economic question also? It tic and th right of peoples affert the whole field of Internationa) deal ing, a much as access to raw mate rials and fair and equal condition of trade. ' -rount von Hertllng want the. es se ntlal bai of commercial sn Industrial lit to bo safeguarded by common agreement and guarantee, but be cannut expect that to ba con ceded him If tha other .matters to be determined by the article of peace are not handled in the same way an items in the final accounting. He cannot aak the benefit of common agreement In the- one field without according it In the other. I take It for granted that he see that separate and selfish compact with regard to trade and the essential materials of manufacture would afford no foundation for peace; r.aither. he may rent asxureri. will separate and selfish compacts with re gnd to provlnre and people. 'X'ount Czernin seem to see the fundamental element of peace with clear eye and does not neek to ob scure them. He sees that Inde pendent Poland, made up of all the Indisputably Polish people who lie contiguous to one another, la a matter of Kuropean concern, and must, of course, be conceded: that Ttelgfum must be evacuated and restored, no matter what sacrifice and concession that may Involve, and that national aspira Hon must be eaiisfiexl. even within his own empire. In the common Interest of Europe and mankind. If he is silent about question which touch the In tereat and purpose of hla allies more nearly than they touch those of Austria only. It must, of course, be because he feels constrained. I auppose. to defer to Germany and Turkey in the circum stance, teeing and conceding, as he doe, the essential prl iciple involved and th necessity of candidly applying them, he naturally feels that Austria can respond to the purpose of peace as expressed by the United States with lea embarrassment than could Ger many. He probably would have gone much farther had It not been for the embarrassment of Austria's alliance and of her dependency on Germuny. "After all. th test of whether it is possible for any government to go any further In thia comparison of views is simple and obvious. The principle to be applied are these: Urst. that each part of the final set tlement must be based upon the essen tial Justice of that particular cause and upon such adjustment a are moat likely to bring a peace that will be permanent; "Second, that peoplea and provinces are not to be bartered about from sov ereignty to sovereignty as If they were mere chattels and pawns in a game, even the great game, now forever dis credited, of the balance of power; but that. Third, every territorial settlement involved in this war must bo made in the Interest and for. the benefit of the populations concerned, and not as a part of any mere adjustment or com promise of claims amongst rival states; and "Fourth, that all well-defined Na tional aspirations shall be accorded the utmost satisfaction that can be ac corded them without Introducing new or perpetuating old element of discord and antagonism that would be likely in time to break the peace of Europe and consequently of tbe world. Asserlea .Mast .et Pause. "A general peace erected on such foundations can be discussed. Until such 'a peace can b secured, we have no choice but to go on. So far as we can Judge, these principle that we regard as fundamental are already everywhere accepted as imperative ex cepr among tbe spokesmen of the mili tary and annexationist party In Ger many. If they have anywhere else been rejected, the objector .have not been sufficiently numerous or Influential to make their voices audible. The tragical circumstance is that this one party in Germany Is apparently willing and able to send million of men to their death to prevent what all tha world now eeee to be-Just. I would not be a true spokesman of the people of the United State if I did not say once more that we entered this war upon no small occasion, and that we never can turn back from a course chosen upon principle. Our re sources are in part mobilized now. and we shall not pause until they are mo bilized In their entirety. Our armies are rapidly going to the fighting front, and will go more and mora rapidly. Our whole strength will be put Into this war of emancipation emancipa tion from the threat and attempted mastery of selfish group of autocratic rulerswhatever the difficulties and present partial delays. We ara indomiiani in our power oi independent action, and cad In no cir cumstance consent to live in a world governed by Intrigue and force, we be lieve that our own desire for a new International order under which reason and justice and th common Interest of mankind ahall, prevail is the de-ire f anllahtened man everywhere. With out that new order, the world will be without peace and human life will lack tolerable condition of existence and development. Having et our hand to tha task of achieving It, wa snail not turn back. I hope that It is not nec essary for me to add that no word of what I have said 1 Intended aa a threat. That ia not the temper of our people. I have spoken them only that the whole world may know that our passion for Justice and for elf-government is no mere passion of words, but a passion which, once set in action, must be sat isfied. The power of the United States ia a menace to no nation or people, it will never be ued In aggression or for the aggrandisement of any selfish In terest of our own. It springs out of freedom and is for the service of freedom.' UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, Eugene. Or., Feb. 11. (Special.) That the or ganisation of a department of educa tion, with Its appointed secretary a member of the Cabinet. Is being ser iously considered in official circles in Washington and that the plan lias the support of all of the educational or ganizations of the country. Is the word brought by President Campbell, who returned last night from the National capital, wbere he has been as a dele gate from the National Association of State- Universities at the informal meeting of representatives of eight of the leading educatiunal associations of the country. President Campbell said that a bill providing for the organization of th new department has been prepared and is now before Congress and that it ful fills In every respect the resotution passed at the last regular meeting of the State Education Association of Ore ton. asking that such a department be established. Co-operatloa Educators Aim. The. gathering of college represen tatives which hgs kept President Campbell in the East for more than six weeks waa called for the purpose of outlining some definite programme of co-operation of the college and unl versitiea of the country with the Ad ministration In the prosecution of the war. The meeting waa Informal In every respect, according to President Campbell, but it resulted in the pernia nent organization of an Emergency Educational Council embracing; all of the educational associations of the country,' which will remain in exist ence during the period of the war. As soon aa the organization can be rati fied and a delegate to the council appointed by each of the associations included, the council will be called to gether. for the election of an executive committee of five members, at leant three of whom will establish perma ncnt headquarters in Washington. The purpose of the committee will be to co-ordinate the activities and re sources of the colleges and universities ot the country with the War Depart ment. Coaarll la War Department. By reason of the authorization of a War Educational Council within the War Department, President Campbell Is of the opinion that the organization provided for by the educational asso ciation will be especially effective In tne work planned. The council to be created within the War Department was authorized while President Camp bell was in Washington, and provides for a body of eight men, three of whom will be Army officers and five civil ians. The council is designed to handle the problems arising in the prosecution of the war that affect tbe Institutions of higher learning In the country. President Campbell says they have a good appropriation at their disposal and are in a position to do effective work. President Campbell went East with the intention of taking up the mat ter of a reserve officers' training camp at the university with the War De partment, and also to present a plan whereby college men called by the draft could continue their studies fur col lege credit in the cantonment. His sug gestion was that the colleges be al lowed to send instructors to the can tonments and conduct classes accord ing to schedules arranged by the War Department. Not only was the sug gestion very favorably received, but was referred to the Educational Bu reau of the department for further con sideration and investigation as to the most feasible method of carrying it Into execution. 0 '. fJw ' '1 111 -i Rl - LSI - lirf i i: m Hi Pocket Knives fromyAmerica'a best factories.

MARSHFIELD. Or, Feb. 11. (Spe cial.) The experience of Justina Heup erman. the 13-year-old girl who ran away from home, intending to seek her fortune in San Francisco, was brought to an end Sunday, when she was found at the home of John Frame, in an iso lated and little-traveled section of the forest, five miles west of Marshfield. Leaving home Friday, after school. the girl traveled through unfrequented highways toward Bandon and walked 11 miles before she found a habitation. Peeking in at the window at the Seng stacken ranch on South Inlet, Miss Heupermaa watched, a man reading a newspaper, and. believing he waa alone, gave up her intention of applying for shelter. It was lute at night and the child turned about and started back toward Marshfield. Mls Heuperman became exhausted and spent the night In the shelter of a log, where she remained until daylight-Saturday morning she applied for breakfast at the home of John Frame and then started toward Bandon again.
