Portland's epidemic of Spanish Influ enza took a bis; leap forward yester day, when 192 cases and six deaths officially wen reported. Because of this report, by far the largest in one day thus far. and Indications that the epidemic had not reached its height either in cltj or state, members of the State Board of Health decided against petitions of schools and churches for an early re-opening. Cases reported here now total 779 and deaths total lj. Estimate by those in touch with the situation run from 1000 to I'OOO cases. The Auditorium, completely fitted up as a modern hospital for the care of infiuenza patients, now has 79 cases and there was almost a constant stream of ambulances at its doors all yester day. Many have been turned away be cause of restrictions. - Only Portland patients and those without other place to be treated properly are admitted to the hospital so hastily outfitted. flax Expected Today, Two wings of the building' are filled with patients.

An educational campaign that will extend to every teacher in the state is being planned as a means of hastening the school opening day. State Supertn tendent Churchill was requested by Dr. A. C Seeley, who today succeeds Dr. Robert Holt as State Health Officer, to send out pamphleta aimed to prevent the spread of the disease. Ailing chil dren are to be sent home and all pupils carefully watched when the schools are opened. A committee of Christian Scientists protested to the state body against the order closing the churches. Y. M. C. A. night schools and various poolroom interests also asked for discontinuance of the closing order. All petitions were denied. President Campbell, of the State Cnl ersity. telephoned that he believed the epidemic well In hand at the Eu gene institution. Ton and the Pacific Northwest for em ployment at rough labor during the period of the war is taking shape through activities of what is termed the Western States Agricultural Devel optnent Committee. The committee is working for an enactment by Congress which will permit such introduction of Asiatic laborers under Government and federation of Labor supervision. J. H. Plunkett, representative of the committee, has asked and been granted the privilege of presenting the proposal today before the State Council of De fense, It is understood that Mayor Harley. of Astoria, also will appear as sponsor of the movement. Thus far the committee has confined its efforts chiefly to ascertaining senti ment on its proposal, through signa tures favoring the Idea, thus stated: "I am (for) (against) presenting to Congress a memorial requesting enact ment authorizing admission into the United States of a limited number of Chinese or other Asiatic laborers, to be retained for the duration of the war.

INFLUENZA GRIP TIGHTENS Members of the Millers' Association of Oregon and Washington, while somewhat discouraged over the present unfavorable prospect for shipping flour from the Pacific Northwest, still hope that the Government will realize what the situation means to the two states and remedy conditions by purchasing more flour In this district. Portland men. who attended the meeting of the Millers' Association in Seattle Wednesday, have returned and yesterday expressed their views on matters vitally interesting to the mill- men and dairymen of the Northwest. Heavier Purchases Required. J. W. Ganong, of the Portland Flour ing Mills, said: "We received assurance that the Gov- j ernment will buy some flour for Ko I vrmber shipment. That will keep the mills running 10 days or two weeks, but that will not be enough to supply the demand for millfeeds. We believe thero has been discrimination against these two states. "Oregon and Washington cannot compete with other states when the high rates of shipping have to be added to the price of wheat. We should be allowed to sell at a lower price for the wheat than is obtained even as far west as Idaho and Montana. I was in new York when the Grain Corporation men made the $2.20 price and I tried to tell them that it was a mistake. They didn't think so then, but they do now and all they can say Is they .are sorry; it was a mistake and they are sorry. But that doesn't help ship our wheat nor feed our dairy cows. I think the Orefron Dairy Council has done a splen did thing taking this matter up with the Governor and Mr. Hoover. But the Utters answer to Governor Withy- combe, was not satisfactory." That Oregon cannot move her wheat and flour and compete with other states was the statement of I. C. San ford, of the Northern Grain & Ware house, Co. Mr. San ford declared the dairy situation as serious in Washing ton as in Oregon. ST0 UT-LYOMi Announce the Opening of 3rd The Northern UG CO. Their tore P COXDITION'S IX ARMY CAMPS LESS FAVORABLE.

One death 'in the county from influenze Is all that has resulted so far. American governments as the provi sional government of the Czecho slovak state and nation, in complete ac cord with the declaration of the Czech deputies made in Prague on January 6. 1918, and realizing that federaliza tion and, still more, autonomy, mean nothing under a Hapsburg dynasty, do hereby make and declare this our dec laration of independence. Freedom Comes First. "We do thia because of our belief that no people should be forced to live under a sovereignty that they do not recognise and because of our knowledge and firm conviction that our nation cannot develop in a Hapsburg mock federation, which is only a new form of the denationalizing oppression on der which we have suffered for th last 300 years. "We consider freedom to be the first cereauisite for federalization and be lieve that the free nations of Central nd Eastern Europe may easily fed erata should they find it necessary. We make this declaration on the basis of our historic and natural right. We have been an Independent state since the seventh century: and in 1626 as an Independent state, consisting of Bohemia. Moravia and Silesia, we joined with Austria and Hungary in a defensive union against the Turkish danger. We have never voluntarily surrendered our rights as an independ ent state in this confederation. "The Hapsburgs broke their compact with our nation by illegally trans greasing our rights and violating the constitution of our state which they had pledged themselves to uphold, and we therefore refuse longer to remain a part of Austria-Hungary in any form. "We claim the right of Bohemia to be re-unlted with her Slovak brethren of Slovakia, once part of our national state, later torn from our national body and. 50 years ago incorporated in the Hungarian state of the Magyars, who. by their unspeakable violence and ruthless oppression of their sub Ject races, have lost all moral and human right to rule anybody but them selves. Brute Force Organised. "The world knows the history of our struggle against the Hapsburg op pression, intensified and systematized by the Austro-Hungarian dualistic com promise of 1S67. Thia dualism is only a shameless organization of brute forct and exploitation of the majority by the minority; it is a political conspiracy of the Germans and Magyars against our own, as well as the other Slav and the Latin nations of the monarchy. "The world knows the Justice of our claims, which the Hapsburgs them selves dared not deny. Francis Joseph, in the most solemn manner, repeatedly recognized the sovereign rights of our nation. "'The Germans and Magyars opposed this recognition and Austria-Hungary, bowing before the pan-Germans, be came a colony of Germany, and, as her vanguard to the east, provoked the last Balkan conflict, as well as the present world war, which was begun by the Hapsburgs alone without the consent of the representatives of the people. "We cannot and will not continue to live under the direct or Indirect rule of the violators of Belgium, France and Serbia, the would-be murderers of Rus sia and Rumania, the murderers of. tens of thousands of civilians and sol diers of our blood and the accomplices in numberless unspeakable crimes com mitted in this war against humanity by the two degenerate and lrresponsi- npi i i nil ra i acific Pharmacy Streets at i mm ana Morrison OLD NORTHERN PACIFIC TICKET OFFICE SATURDAY, 9 A.

"We will not remain a part of a state which has no justification for exist ence, and which, refusing to accept the fundamental principles of modern world organization, remains only an ar tificial and immoral political struc ture, hindering every movement toward democratic and social progress.
