HIGH SCHOOLS HOLD
YEARLY EXERCISES
Students of Six Institutions
Receive Diplomas.
ORATORS URGE PATRIOTISM
Lojallj to Country and Duty Dur
ing Reconstruction. Topics
of Addresses.
From platforms in six of the city's
secondary schools last night six dif
ferent speakers impressed upon mem
bers of the graduating classes the im
portance of the part they are to play
in the country's reconstruction work.
Commencement exercises at Benson
Polytechnic school and Lincoln high
school tonight will conclude the pro
grammes attendant upon the closing of
the year's work.
Among scholarship awards announced
was one of $150 which was given Kd
ward Myers at Washington and another
of 25U to Mildred Fennimore of the
same school.
Kx-Alayor H. R. Albee, in honor of
whose son the Jefferson scholarship
was established, delivered the address
to the class, pointing out the value of
an education. He advised the seniors
to place upon the shelves of their minds
the things that would be of value to
them in the future, things that would
automatically corner to them in time of
need. He illustrated his point by quot
ing from letters from soldiers in
'.France.
Will Power Roles.
"Will power," he said, "can accom
plish whatever you would make it, if
you are willing to pay the price."
Taking an example from a chapter in
"Alaska Days With John Muir," by S.
Hall Young, he drew a picture carrying
out the idea and showing the value
of t'ruth, self control, obedience and
character building. -
The programme featured the class
song music for which was written by
Raymond Johns and the words by
Kmily Terry. both seniors. Helen
Naples gave a piano solo; Jim Allen
Skulton, a trombone solo; Hildur Nel
son a. violin solo, and Mildren Jewell
a reading. The girls double quartette
and the school orchastra furnished
numbers. Cecilia Rosser also gave a
piano solo. The exercises were closed
by the singing of the American hymn
by the class and the recessional.
Of the US graduates, the largest
number from any school this year, 30
wore honorary students, three com
pleted their work in three years and
2M in three and ane-half years. Already
110 have declared their intention of at
tending institutions of higher learning.
While attending Jefferson, the boys
earned a total of $25,625 and the girls
512,226. A large proportion of the lat
ter made their own graduation gowns.
Franklin Class lumbers 27.
The Franklin high class of 27 stu
dents chose as their speaker Dr. E. H.
Pence, pastor of the Westminster Pres
byterian church.
"It may not fall to you to lead the
masses." the speaker told his audience.
"That falls to but few: but you may
build up your following, and through
confidence inspired in others, many or
few you can multiply yourself.
"The air is full of radicalism; we
need a conservatism which has both
the courage of its convictions and the
liberality of its doubts. This gradu
ation of yours multiplies your poten
tials of possible force in a service to
society. It is for you to determine how
much and to what purpose; remember
ing always that you do your best and
greatest work with what you are or
your worst," he concluded.
Other numbers on the programme
were two vocal solos by Walter J.
Stevenson, songs by the glee club, a
violin solo by Helen M. Harber, accom
panied by her sister, Jean Harber, and
selections by the school orchestra. The
stage was decorated in vine maple.
evergreens and flags and the girls of
the class carried Ophelia roses.
The 1920 class boasts the highest
scholarship average yet attained at
Kranklin.
Washington Graduates 103.
This was Washington High's 23d
graduating class and numbered out of
its 103 members 25 honorary students.
;irls held the majorit ythis year, for
there were 76 as compared with 27 boys.
Dr. Wallace Youngson, district super
intendent for the Methodist church, de
livered the principal address. He was
followed by H. H. Herdman. principal
of the school, who presented the diplo
mas. The latter mentioned some of the
achievements of the class.
"The pupils." he enumerated, "worked
their way entirely throughout the four
years, and most of the others contrib
uted to their own support in part
Seventy-six have indicated their in
tention of attending higher institutions
of learning. Of these 24 of the 27 boys
in the class are included. Thirty-five
srudents have never been tardy since
entering the primary grades."
Mr. Herdman's remarks were an ex
pression of gratification at the com
pletion of the high school work and
encouragement to go on acquiring
equipment enabling the graduates to
fulfill their duty to themselves and so
ciety. Musical numbers on the programme
consisted of selections by the girls'
chorus and school orchestra, a vocal
solo by Frank Jue. a Chinese student,
and songs by a quartet made up of
Lorraine Lee. Mildred Fenimore, Walter
Lurson and Elmer Goudy.
Dr. "Waldo Commerce Speaker.
Dr. William A. Waldo of the White
temple spoke at the High School of
Commerce, where 39 received diplomas,
using for his subject, "The American
Youth in Days of Reconstruction."
During the course of his address he de
clared. "There is no word that sounds
so sweet in the ears of the American
youth as that of 'peace.' We have
heard the word 'war' again and again.
It has sounded in hamlet and palace
throughout the world. But now
peace' is the sweet word. The soldier's
hour is over he has completed his
task. The sailor's duty is performed.
The nurse's care is over, so far as the
war is concerned. Their mission now
is a grander one of bringing peace and
joy to humanity. The map of the world
is changed boundaries are displaced
and the old tyrannies of governments
have been dispelled and we are now in
a great age. America is the leader of
the world's democracy, the champion
of small nations, the promoter of civil
and religious liberty.
The speaker characterized the Ameri
can youth as possessing love of knowl
edge, of horn, of society and concluded
by saying that he would also possess a
love of country. The boy, he said, is a
patriotic youth in three ways, first as
an educated citizen, second as a law
abiding citizen and third as a God
fearing citizen.
During the course of his talk he drew
many illustrations from the lives of
Abraham Lincoln and Woodrow Wilson.
The girls glee club and school orches
tra furnished the greater part of the
music for the exercises. Goldie Barr
nppeared in a vocal solo and Rev. A. R.
ilaclain save the invocation. The audi-
toriumat the school was prettily deco
rated in ferns and cedar.
Profenor Coleman Speak.
At the James Johns high school Pro
fessor Norman F. Coleman of Reed col
lege told of the changes the war had
brought about, in industries, thus giv
ing freer opportunities and more va
riety for men. Throughout he illus
trated his points with his observationsr
while engaged in Y. M. C. A. war work
both at home and overseas, drawing
largely from his own experiences.
Particularly did he emphasize tne
responsibilities to be assumed in this
age and urged the younger boys to
get up and work as did their older
brothers during the war.
Principal W. T. Fletcher presented
the diplomas to 37 graduates and the
high school orchestra, senior girls' cho
rus and a double quartet supplied mu
sic. Blue lupine formed the principal
decorations for the hall.
The programme at Lincoln high to
night will include an address by Rabbi
John B. Wise, a violin selection by Jane
O'Rielly and a piano number by Gordon
Soule. One hundred and seven students
are to be given diplomas.
Dr. D. V. Poling of Oregon Agricul
tural college is to speak at Benson
Polytechnic. Others taking part will be

Salvaging of Shipping Board Vessel,
Rammed by Italian Steamer,
Held Impossible.
NEW YORK, June 12. Tugs sent to
the assistance of . the steamships
Yankee and Graf Waldersee, run down
by other craft in a heavy fog off Fire
island late last night, arrived here this
afternoon bringing some of the crew
of the Yankee and 10 army officers
taken off the Graf Waldersee, a naval
transport.
No hope is entertained by naval of
ficers of salvaging the Yankee, op
erated by the United States shipping
board. The vessel sank in deep water
soon after she had been rammed by the
Italian steamer Argentina.
There is some hope of saving the
Graf Waldersee, however. The trans
port, formerly a flagship in the Hamburg-American
line, is now resting in
40 feet of water, two miles off Long
Beach, where she was towed by the
U. S. S. Patricia after the steamer
Redondo had torn a great hole in her
side.
Only a few of the transport's crew
of 400 had been removed tonight, as
the craft was considered in no danger
so long as a storm did not arise.
ALLIES AGREE ON REPLY

that his government must be given an
opportunity for full concurrence if full
adherence is expected. His entry into
the council meeting today necessitated
rearranging the entire reply, article by
article.
The conditions for the admission of
Germany to the league of nations, em
bodied in the report of Lord Cecil and
E. M. House, are:
First Establishment of a stable gov
ernment. Second Signing of the treaty of
peace.
Third Loyal execution of the peace
treaty.
A proposed fourth condition, relative
to Germany's abolishing compulsory
military service, was finally omitted on
Premier Clemenceau's suggestion. It
was considered that the treaty suffi
ciently provided for Germany's dis
armament. Marshal Foch and General Weygand
had two conferences yesterday with
Premier Clemenceau at which they dis
cussed the question of an immediate
resumption of hostilities and a con
certed advance by the allies, says Mar
cel Hutin in the Echo de Paris.
"ew Ministry Expected.
The general opinion is, the writer
adds, that Count von Brockdoff-
Rantzau has committed himself too far
to be able to sign the treaty. It also
is believed that the Scheidemann minis
try will be swept away to make
room for a ministry of modern inde
pendent socialists which will be joined
by Mathias Erzberger. chairman of the
German armistice commission. This
ministry, it is declared, would be dis
posed to accept the allied conditions,
which it probably would do about

The Turkish peace delegation, which
reached Toulon yesterday, arrived at
the Lyons station here at S:45 o'clock
this morning. The party was ac
companied by a French naval lieu
tenant and a captain from the staff
of General Franchet d'Esprey, allied
commander in the near east.
There was no official reception. The
party remained in its car, which was
sent to Vaucresson. in the suburbs.
Austrian Send Note.
Dr. Karl Renner. head of the Aus
trian peace delegation, has sent a sec
ond note to the peace conference sec
retariat. The note deals with the re
patriation of Austrian diplomatic of
ficials now in South America without
resources.
Information reached peace conference
circles today that the Italian officers
serving with the Czecho-Slovak army
have been replaced by Frenchmen.

HAD SUFFERED
FORTY YEARS
Mrs. Brown Lost Hope of Ever
. Being Well Again Tanlac
Restores Her.
Mrs. Olive M. Brown, a highly
esteemed resident of Calistoga. Cali
fornia, called at an Owl Drug Store in
Los Angeles, recently, and made the
statement that Tanlac had completely
relieved her of a case of stomach trou
ble from which she had suffered for
forty years.
Mrs. Brown's statement, while indeed
remarkable, is by no means unusual as
many thousands of well-known people
all over the country have testified to
having used the medicine with the
same wonderful results.
"For the first time in years." said
Mrs. Brown, "I am able to eat what I
want without any bad after effects,
and I must say Tanlac is a perfectly
grand medicine. I suffered with indi
gestion and constipation all the time,
often had severe pains in my stomach
and was seldom free from headache. I
had suffered so long that my nerves
were all shattered and I had lost about
all my strength.
"I have tried every kind of medicine
and have been under treatment many
times, but get relief for a little while
at a time, and then feel worse than
ever. In fact the older I got the worse
I suffered and I had long eince lost
hope of ever getting relief. Finally a
lady friend of mine who had taken
Tanlac. persuaded me to try it, and
as I said, for the first time in all these
years I can eat what I want and. never
suffer any whatever from gas and
pains in my stomach. My headaches
are gone, too, and my general health
is better than for years. I have also
gained several pounds in weight. I am
only too glad to recommend Tanlac for
I firmly believe it is the best medi
cine ever made."
Tanlac is sold in Portland by the
Owi Drug Co. Adv.
IDAHO MINERS OPTIMISTIC
Strike in t'oeur d'AIcne Dwtrlr-t
Counted Unlikely.
SPOKANE. June 12. No plans are
being made for a strike of miners in
the Coeur d'Alene district of Idaho, E.
W. Muir, organizer for the Internation
ai Union of Mine. Mill and Smelter
Workers, declared over the long-distance
telephone from Wallace, Idaho,
today, and none is expected.
Ke said the miners were confident
that the operators would grant their
request for & conference before a strike
became necessary. Organization meet
ings are being held daily in various
parts of the district, he declared. The
mine owners have made no new state
ment concerning the men's request for
union recognition, increased wages and
an eight-hour day.

MARSH FIELD. Or.. June 12. (Spe
cial.) Marshfield, North Bend, East
Side, Coquille and Myrtle Point face a
condition which may result in suspen

intention of the receivers of the C. A.
Smith property to withdraw permission
to the Oregon Power company to op

Marshfield mill is allowed to be car

The probable solution is being con
sidered here by the Oregon Power com
pany and the public In general. All the
motors for generating electricity are
centered at the Smith mill, which has
been closed for several months. The
Oregon Power company was permitted
to operate the engines and boilers and
the electric dynamos in order to supply
current.
The situation has attracted the state

A Practical Suggestion
Many of my patrons have found
it both convenient and time-saving
to have an extra pair of glasses on
hand in case they break the ones
they are wearing. The extra pair
enables you to continue with your
work or pleasure without the loss
of time, or the discomfort of poor
or painful vision while waiting
for repairs.
Especially while away on your
vacation will your enjoyment be
more keen if you have the feeling
of security an extra pair of glasses
will give you.
