Miss Moran ia.ot night declined to make any statement. Some time iko the School Board or dered that all teachers be. required to take the oath. Calla went out and the olh wrre taken In the office of School 'I'-rk Thomas as the teachers reported. Mis Moran announced that she would taka no oath of allegiance, and she has maintained this position even though In Interviews with members of the School Hoard aha has been told sua either must taka tha oath or resign.

Mlis Moran related her belief In tha outcome of the war being predestined and therefore Belnir beyond her power to maka any difference In any way. h said she Is In the army of Christ and for that reason cannot take sidea in a controversy In which he plays no part. "Personally." said Dr. Drake yester day. I told Mlsa Moran that the beat thine for her to do was to resign. I Intend to cut to the line In sucb mat ters. I would bundle up all such people and send them back. There Is no com promise with me on any such proposi tion as this. Tha school la no place for disloyalty or unloyalty." O. M.

Aa far as I am concerned, she will have to step aside. I shall vote to put the question of her discharge up to the committee having the final word In such actions. Dr. K. A. Simmer, of the board, said he wanta to know all the facts In the rase before acting. "1 will say. how ever." he aald yesterday, "that If there la any disloyal person In our school sys tern he or she will be canned, and canned hard, as far as I am concerned." Dr. Alan Welch Smith, of the board, said Miss Moran will awear allegiance to the flag or resign. "There is no half-way buslnesa about it." he said. Personally. I feel that the teachers In our schools should be above reproach In the matter of loyalty. When she Inter viewed me a few days ago and ex plained her position I told her to think war her position, for to adhere to It meant to lose her position." The discharge of a teacher by the School Board Is followed by a hearing, usually before the teachers committee of appeals. Thla coromlttea comprises S. H. Corliss. Mrs. Agnes Benson Beach and J.

If there li "any truth" Americans Invariably put It that way In reports that the birth rate in Germany la being increased by gov ernment orders, carried out with en tire disregard of conventional morality. stories to tnat ei feet have been widely circulated here. I find. Many Americana believe them. Many more half believe them. In Germany heard similar stories about France. They were Ilea or. more precisely, legends and so. In my opin ion, are the stories about Germany. rour yeara and half I lived there. quilting German soil only In Janu ary, 1IS. Neither in the papers nor In conversation with Germans of all classes did I run upon anything cal culated to support the leiends. As a considerable proportion of the Germans I was in contact with defeated the Ger man Imperial government and delight ed to bring all manner of accusations against it, I feel that silence on this point was very significant. No such official onslaught on morals could be accomplished without the knowledge of uermana in general. Knowing- that fact, if fact It were, they would be In a mood to proclaim it far and wide. -ersaaa Stage Net ( haaged. Then, too, I hear that Americans read a German tirade against the "shame lesa nudities" permitted on the stage in wartime and stories that Germany encourages lax morality by allowing RALPH WILLIAMS FAVORED Oliver M. lilt key Tells Why He Withdrew 1'roin Republican Race. Oliver M. Hkker. who recently an rcunced that he would be a candidate for Krnubllcan National Committeeman, yrstrrday Issued the following state ment In explanation of his failure to enter the contest: "In fairness to m v friends; to whom 1 had announced that I intended to become a candidate for the Republican n mmatton for National Committeeman. I to elate why I decided to forego filing my declaration of candidacy (or that office. In the flrt place, my In tention to become a candidate for this office waa eased on the 1.1-a that the ltoelt following In the reunited party should have a representative for thi office in the coming primary.

IVrkina and oth.r national leaders close to Colonel Koosevelt are strongly In favor of Mr. Williams' re-election." women to call themaelves Frau instead of Frauleln whenever such trickery would save them from disgrace. As for the "shameless nudities." I think the tirade must have proceeded from some German prude, for the German stage of wartime is not different in this respect from ths German stage of peacetime. But the measures taken to legitimise tha children of Irregular unions are real. While I am not certain that the German government has actually sanc tioned the substitution of Krau for Frauleln In such Instances, there was talk of it. Some Germans approved the plan as a way of benefiting the chil dren. That tha evil had somewhat In creased during the war was admitted. But no one looked upon it as a device for encouraging lax relations. They were deplored by public sentiment as heartily as before the war. Meanwhile the government has been taking steps to make marriage a great deal easier than It was. Couples who formerly allowed red tape to stand be tween them and an official recognition of their union aee the red tape greatly cut down. They can now marry. And in caaes where class distinctions for-1 merly prevented marriages, the war has put a new face on the situation. An army officer, say. has for years been the head of an unsanctioned fam ily, the mother of his children belong ing to a class Inferior to his own. Be fore the war, marriage would have en tailed his social ruin. Today he can risk it- Aware that be may be killed, he desires to bestow his name upon his children, and social consequences no longer weigh with him as they did. "Lying, (heatlag, Stealiag." Nobody pretends that, looked at in the large, morality In Germany has been benefited by the war. German wives are not necessarily more circum spect because their husbands have gone to the front. Hunger is not neces sarily a preventive of evil-doing for hire. But I failed to observe In war ring Germany the outward proof that vice had Increased, nor did I hear that It had. What shocked ma was not that particular type of moral decline It may have been there, and pretty seri ous, too, without my knowing it but rather a grave and very general de cline in German honesty the lying, the cheating, the stealing. In their lasting effect on character these things will perhaps turn out to be the most serious calamity brought upon the Germans by this war. It is pos sible to check vice by mending the con ditions that breed vice. It is possible to abolish hate. The hate that now em bitters Germany has been instilled by the German government. It Is artificial, forced. The German soldiers are al ready getting over It. One said to me: "When you face those poor devils In the oppoelte trench and know they are suffering just aa you are, you quit hating them." When soldiers tell of the monstrous things they have been required to do to their enemies they are in no gloating mood. French Wears Made to Work. An officer said: "I waa required to collect French women for our munition factories the most cruel thing I ever heard of. Yet I should have been shot for refusing, and then somebody else would have taken my place at the Job." Tat while vice la not Inevitably beyond such measure of cure, and while hate Is not Inevitably long lived, dis- I honesty strikes deep and lasts, and. in stead of getting better as time pusses, bids fair to get worse. Germans lie to the food admlnlstra Hon about food, to the fuel admlnis tratlon about fuel, to the clothes ministration about clothes. They said to me: "Isn't it awful the way we are forced to He?" and it was clear tha they were learning a new art. Som have made remarkable progress. hardly stimulates truthfulness when, 1 order to be sure that you are not niak Ing butter, the police lock your churn On the other hand. It hardly stimulate honesty to know that when the food administration demands all your milk at milking time you can sneak out an milk your cows at noon. According to law, a farmer must sur render the whole product of his farm and get back only a dab. Is It sur prising If he hides a part and says he has aui rendered all? DEAF? People Hate Gormncit Such behavior on the part of for merly law-abiding Germans the lying, the cheating, the thieving is no merely gone about because the Ger mans think they have to He and cheat and steal. They do so think, but un derneath It all lies another and far more revolutionary idea. These peo pie bate the government, and take secret pleasure in outwitting It. They hate the rich and delight to rob them. Never before was the rancor of the masses against the classes so savage. When war brings semi-starvation it brings a great nervousness, a great ir ritability, a great inclination toward Jealousy and hate. The German masses know that the rich eat goose. They see fortunes quickly made in suu stltutes" that are another name for swindles. They se prosperity strut and swagger while they themselves en dure incredible hardship. Masses Lack Leaders. I think back, sometimes, to the Ger many I knew before the war a Ger many thriving in the main and a Ger many In the main contented. Not free. to be sure, but not longing for free dom; gassing about Socialism now and then, but by no means burning to over throw the Hohenxollerns. All in all a cheerful, genial, honest Germany, very strange to recall in this the ter rible fourth year of war. What changes have come since then! What changes may yet come! For the lying and cheating and thieving mean a lot more than a mere obedience to grim but oassing necessity. There is malice in them. Sooner or later later, probably the malice will have Its way. Lnder clr cumstances far less provocative Ger mans rose up against their masters in 1S48. They failed to win freedom. But they had not been trained as yet in the philosophy of revolution. They are get- ling their training now. JSvery jie every Bwindle, every theft serves as Dractice in rebellion, and. while the German masses lack leaders thus far, they do not lack the impulse toward liberty. And who knows now long tnry will continue to lack leaders? The next revolution not to be reckoned with during this war. I believe will be no half-hearted repetition of 14$.

'Con'lnued From First Psee.) desperate work which has been going forward since April 9. All last night the opposing forces struggled at close quarters at numerous points and when daylight came the Germans launched two more tremendous drives, one eouth of Ballleul and Metern and tha other against the blood-stained sons about Neuve Egllse. "We are holding." was the cheering Import of the news received by the cor respondent of the Associated Press about noon concerning the sector In volved. The fighting about Neuve Uliltse yesterday and last night was continuous and sanguinary. Three Attacks Stepped. During the day the enemy launched three separate attacka against this place and each time was burled back without making any gains. Last evening at 4.30 the Germans again surged forward, but they came under such punishment from machine guns and rifles that they were forced to fall back. This was only an Intro duction to the night's work. Through out the long, dark hours the battle con tinued and when daylight came it pro ceeded with added fury as the enemy rushed up fresh troops and flung them against the grimly holding British. It la hard to conceive how the com paratively weak forces of the British have been able to withstand the heavy shocks, especially in view of the fact that the Germans continually kept bringing new troops Into action against the long-suffering defenders. But they have held and the record or the de fense In the Merville-Bailleul sector will form one of the most graphic chap ters In the history of the war. Ffgatlasr Renewed at Dm. The flchtlng below Ballleul has dif fered little from that at other points. The Germans made a heavy push here last Bight and about Merria, but could make little progress. The British gave a tiny bit of ground below Moole nacker. but the situation was virtually unaltered. This morning the enemy again began his vicious strokes here. Southwest of Vleux Berquin yester day the Germans made four big attacks, accompanied by an Intense bombard ment. The onslaught was a terrific one and there was at that time only one British brigade facing several divisions of Germans. How the British held prob ably they themselves could not tell to day, but they did hold, although their line bent a little In places. The Ger man casualties in this sector yester day were appalling. A heavy concentration of Germans about Neuve Berquin, who were about to be employed in an assault against a long-suffering British brigade, were caught In an artillery barrage and literally ripped to pieces. Veritable Slaogkler Iteaalts. For two hours the British shells plowed through the enemy ranks and veritable slaughter resulted. The same sort of thing has been going on for days. Prisoners verify statements that the British harasslngs are frightful. For two nights before the Germans began their present drive west of Armentleres the British artil lery worked havoc. Prisoners say that when the advance started they had to walk over bodies and the wreckage of munition and supply wagons. Another Instance occurred on the 11th Instant northeast of Estaires, where British riflemen killed so many of the enemy that the advancing troops were piling the bodies and using them as protection against the fire. The first wave of the attacking troops thus far In the fighting almost Invariably has been broken, and often the second wave has been smashed. This is expected by the enemy, who depends upon subse quent waves for success. Work of Alraaea Marvelous. British airmen continue to do mar velous work in flchtlng the enemy at close quarters. Not only are they doing great execution In bombing roads and congesting traffic, but they have been sweeping down into the mouths of ma chine guna and engaging infantry with their rapid firers. Bait lea In the air are numerous and thus far the British have maintained vast superiority In this method of war fare. OTTAWA. ,Ont.. April 14. "A bitter east wind it raging In Flanders and visibility Is very low." says Reuters correspondent at British headquarters In France, in a dispatch received here tonight. "The situation Is unchanged.

This morning found the Brit ish holding firmly in the critical Ball leul Merville sector after a night of the most intense fighting, during which numerous . heavy enemy attacks were repulsed and the Invaders were driven from Robecque by a counter stroke. Ilasebrouck Still Secure. The Germans today were continuing to drive forward In masses against the defending positions which block their way to Haxebrouck with its railway lines, but at the latest reports the Brit ish lines had not wavered in the face of the terrific onslaughts by superior numbers. While no one could predict the out come of the fierce battle now raging. the British position this morning seemed more firm and settled than at any period flince the Germans began their onslaughts west of Armentieres.

FISHERMEN ARE VEXED SALMON PRICE HELD TOO LOW BY HOG IK RIVER l.MO.V. Secretary Saya Fishermen Will Refuse to Hrgia Operations Vntll De mands Are Granted. Fishermen of the Rogue River dis trict will refuse to start fishing for Chinook salmon today because they consider the price of 7 cents a pound fixed by the Food Administration to be too low. Information to this effect was made public yesterday by R. W. Hill, secretary of Rogue River Local No. 19, of the United Fishermen of the Pacific "The fishermen of Rogue River," says Mr. Hill, "refuse to accept the ruling of the Food Administration of Oregon of a maximum price of 7 cents a pound for chinook salmon for 1918. A strike will not be called, but fishermen will not start fishing at that price, and thousands of pounds of fish will be wasted at a time when food fish Is needed." When told of this attitude on the part of the fishermen. Food Adminis trator Ayer expressed surprise. "Mr. Hill was in my office, and in the pres ence of myself and Professor Hastings of Reed College, told me he considered the price of 7 cents a pound a reason able one. The price has not been offi cially fixed at 7 cents, but I told Mr. Hill that I would recommend that a price in excess of 7 cents would be un reasonable. "Last year the fishermen received $1.25 a fish of an average weight of 25 pounds. At 7 cents a pound the price per fish of 55 pounds weight would be better than 11.75, or an increase of 60 cents." How extensively the fishermen on the Columbia and tributary waters will take the same attitude as the Rogue River fishermen is a question.
