In Thurt v to remove her from her

and othr school officials yesterday
expressed themselves as brlnr strongly
asralnst any such attitude aa has been
taken by Miss Moran.
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

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.

It Is reported that Ml Moran is

and aa such has religious scruples

one way or another. To !r. J. Francis
irake. a member of tha School Board.
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

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. Flummer, another member of
the board, aald be la not familiar with
the facta la the case and therefore has
no comment to make. I hare soma
pretty definite Ideaa on the question of
disloyalty," he said, "but I know noth
ing about the facts In this particular
case."
Sehaal Directors ladlaaaat.
X. G. Pike, of the board, said yester
day that he also had an interview with
Mlsa Moran. I heard her explanation
of her creed and Ideals. Khe stands
in the position of belnir willing; to en
joy things that she will not defend.
Mich a person has no place In our
schools, where our children should first
of all be taurht loyalty. 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

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

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.

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

swindles. They se prosperity strut

dure incredible hardship.

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$.

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

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.

WASHINGTON, April 14. Another
draft call for 49,843 registrants has
been sent to Governors of states by
Provost Marshal - General Crowder.
Mobilization of the men Is ordered for
May 1 and 10. the War Department an
nounced tonight, and they will be sent
to 11 forts and recruiting barracks.
probably for training with regular
Army units there.
This call increases to more than
500,000 the number of select men or
dered to camp Bince late- in March.
Further announcements are expected
to follow the return of Secretary Baker
from the battle fronts. Troops now
are moving tp Europe at a rapid rate.
Although every state ana tne uistrtcc
of Columbia are called upon to fur
nish men upon General Crowder's lat
est order, nearly half of the 49,843
men will come from seven states. Illi
nois will supply by far the largest
number, its quota being 8047. These
states follow in the order named:.
Pennsylvania, 3776; New York, 3542;
Michigan, 2593: Missouri, 2163; Wiscon
sin, 2133, and Ohio, 2060.
Nevada has the lowest quota, 4!);
Delaware is next lowest with 87. Wyo
ming w-ith 92 is the only other state to
furnish less than 100 men.
Tho quotas of other states include:
Oregon, 251; California, 1187; Colorado,
696; Idaho, 165; Utah, 168; Washing
ton, 434.
The Army posts to which the men
will go Include: Fort McDowell, Cal. ;
Fort Logan, Colo.; Fort Sam Houston,
Tex., and Vancouver Barracks, Wash.
The number of select men ordered to
camp since late in March is far in ex
cess of the monthly average that would
have been mobilized under the original
plan to call 800,000 men this year over a
nine months period.
Future calls at the same rate would
complete the programme before mid-Summer.
Under President Wilson's determina
tion to hasten the dispatch of Ameri
can troops to France to reinforce the
British and French armies bearing the
brunt of the great German drives in
Flanders and Plcardy, the whole pro
gramme of the Army is speeding up.
Only a week ago General Crowder or
dered mobilization of 150,000 select men
for April 26 and their movement to
the National Army cantonments during
the Ave days' period following.
