BY LEONE CASS BAER.
N IXTEXSELY dramatic and pie-
resquely limned portrayal of
the great world struggle in
which all humanity has participated
was given last evening at the Ma
sonic temple by Coningsby Dawson,
"Anglo-American" novelist, himself a
soldier and one of the all-too-few war
authors whose books were actually
written In the front line.
The lecture was arranged by Oregon
women who are promoting the bene
fit fund of the women's building at
the University of Oregon, and a ca
pacity attendance paid tribute to both
the speaker and the cause he spoke
for.
The subject of Mr. Dawson's lecture
was "Remaking the "World," a subject
on which he has first-hand knowl
edge, gained after a summer in the
occupied territories of Germany and
a lengthy after-war stay in France
and in England. By birth an English
man, he is by marriage and a ten
year residence here an adopted Amer
ican, and by military service an offi
cer in the Canadian field artillery.
One reviewer has said that "Mr.
Dawson sums up in person the warm-
. ni i i .. ,j ihon nnn I er Bri ti.sh-American friendship which
. ffic i the old ..ostoffice bui!d-ih:'s resulted from the past four years
ing, placing an executive secretary in
charge.
In his fixing of price Commissioner
Daly will have the backing of the fed
eral government, through the office
of the district attorney, and tne de-
partrr.ent of justice and wlil have the
use of srecial agents for investiga
tions in any section of Oregon, where
the need may exist.
Deputies to He Appointed.
Whether or not Mr. 1 aiy will work
with a committee of citizens as old
W. K. Jewell when he was fair pries
commissioner, or whether he wi!i exo
ruto the work by himse!?. assisted by
J'lsinet Attorney Humphreys as to
the legal roints and oy special agents
of the d-'partmcnt of justice as to in
vestigatiohs. Is a point which he has
rot yet decided, but will probabiy de
termine early next week.
Deputy fair price commissioners are
to be appointed in the small cities
ant! towns throughout the state, to
execute orders of the commissioncr
these being honoriry appointments, as
la that of Mr. laly.
"District Attorney Humphreys, from
the day he assumed the duties of his
office, has been gathering information
on conditions throughout the state
and has the subject very well in
hand," said Mr. Daly yesterday. "That
will enablo me to make much more
rapid progress than if I had to go
through ail of the details at the out
set. There is a vast mass of mate
rial awaiting my attention and, in
addition to what Is now available,
there will be mailed to merchants,
wholesale, commission and retail,
questionnaires furnished by the gov
ernment, as a guide to the fixing of
reasonable prices' on all of the neces
saries of iife.
Associate Ar Optional.
"My understanding of the law is
that I shall have nothing to do witb
manufacturers; that th'is feature is
cared for by another method, and that
my duties and powers are confined to
fixing- fair quotations on clothing,
food, fuel, etc.. after it leaves the
factory. It is my understanding that
prices, once fixed, are to be respected
by all concerned and that, should
there be violations, my office would
report these to the district attorney
and he, in turn, would lay the facts
before the federal grand jury."
Mr. Daly said that he has no Idea I
who wll be named to have charge of
his office in the federal building, but
that the appointment will have to be
confirmed from Washington. Whether
any otner than agents of the depart
ment of justice will be named to as
sist in the field of investigations he
was unable to say. Only these have
thus far been utilized in what work
has been done by District Attorney
jiumpnreys, tne latter said vesterdav
Whether or not Mr. Daly will have
a committee of associates or will
worn aione in regard to price-fixing
is optional with him. Attorney-General
1'almer has recommended to com
missioners in the various states the
appointment of advisors, but has not
made it obligatory. He will look to
tne commissioner for results, it Is
said, and allow him as much leeway
as possible in the conduct of affairs.
Information la Accumulated.
During the administration of W. K.
Xewell as fair-price commissioner a
committee of representative men and
women was named to advise witb
him. but there were frequent differ
ences of opinion on various subjects
coming before them and there were
charges that certain members were
"interested'' and therefore not in a po
sition to act freely.
That he has accumulated a consid
erable amount of information of a
valuable character relative to condi
tions throughout the state was ad
mitted by District Attorney Hum
phreys yesterday, but beyond that be
would not go into detail
Mr. Humphreys is just now engaged
on cases against two grocers who
were recently indicted for selling su
gar above the price fixed by Mr. New.
ell's committee. The outcome of these
cases is awaited with much interest
on all sides.
of catastrophe.
Mr. Dawson's Judgments have the
authority and brilliance resultant
from being based ou facts to which
few other writers had access. Mr.
Dawson's lecture was pre-eminently
not a war lecture, but a story of re
construction that is to come. He told
informatively of the commercial as
pect of the problem, the physical and
mental condition of nations and the
soul remaking of humanity.
Ho set forth the higher spiritual
values of the supreme drama as it was'
unfolded to the men in the trenches,
an influence, he said, that transfig
ured much of tile horror and carnage
into something supernaturally heroic
and beautiful. He brought a message
of the vision given to the men who
fought for the life of democracy. He
referred to the struggle as "the God-I vain."
i given chance of centuries to reunite
I the great Anglo-Saxon races of the
: world in a truer bond of kindship
I and kindness. If we pass by this op
portunity we are flinging in God's
face his splendid recompense for our
common heroism," said tne speaker.
He pleaded for a closer friendship
between what he referred to as "ray
two countries" and said that he hoped
whoever was America's next president
would be pro-British.
Mr. Dawson took each country by
turn and told of its needs for re
habilitation and the part all of us can
play in the great scheme of remaking
the world. "We shared during tne
war," he said, "and that is the reason
we won the war. We must now project
the ideal of sharing. We must be one
great human family and look forward
to the happiness of the ages. The
Hun is the profiteer. Huns in all
countries are still with us. The day
must come when the ideals of the
men in the trenches will rule the
world.
"Men who have endured the 'same
hell in a common sense are nearer in
spirit. Death is the universal teacher
of charity. In the Kden of national
destinies God is walking. Great Brit
ain, France and the United States,
the three great promise-keeping na
tions, are standing side by side. To
gether they can build an Impregnable
wall for peace about the world. Plun
derers who know that it is not Groat
Britain, nor France, nor America, but
all three countries as allies that he
must face, no matter how tempted be
is to prove that armed force means
big business, will be persuaded to ex
pand his commerce by more legitimate
methods. The accomplishment of this
dream will never be decided on the
battlefield, but in the hearts of civil
ians in the three countries. Soldiers
who have fought and suffered togeth
er can never be anything but friends.
Magnanimities of the Anglo-Saxon
races will rise to meet each other and
should be welcomed and made perma
nent. Only thus will we know that our
soldier idealists have not died in

to take nourishment, and then falls
asieep again.
His fiancee. Miss Mabel Baker, is a
daily visitor at the home. It is said
that she will try music to awaken
him. She is an expert pianist. Dur

approximately $100,0(10, it is shown
in the semi-annual financial state
ment just prepared by School Clerk
Thomas. - This deficit was balanced
by borrowing on notes' for an equal
amount. The district was $36,879 to
the good on the payment of delinquent
taxes and received $80,086 more than
anticipated from the county appor
tionment. Part of this excess, how
ever, was caused by $i0,705 which was
not paid in on a special levy.
Estimates on maintenance ran over
considerably on - account of equip
ment having been permitted to go
with a minimum amount of attention
during the war. Heavy disburse
ments for new additions and portables
were balanced by conservative expen
ditures in improvements and ground
purchases, streets, sewers and side
walks. The total figures of the excess in
expenditures, exclusive of the $100,

$3147.06. showing 'that the budget
for the six months ending December

Strike Designed to Sectire
Government Control.
ALBANY, N. T., Feb. 20. Counsel
for the assembly judiciary committee
trying the five suspended socialist
assemblymen on charges of disloyalty
today bombarded with questions Otto
Branstetter, national secretary of the
socialist party, in an unsuccessful at
tempt to obtain admission that the
party contempla'.ed use of the general
strike to captuve from the majority
control of the United State's govern
ment.
Branstetter admitted, however, that
a general strike tying up the coun
try and paralyzing industry might be
an "advantageous" weapon against
any capitalist minority seeking to
regain political power after it had
been acquired by the socialist party
through constitutional methods.
He was followed on the stand by
Julius Gerber, executive secretary of
the New York county socialist or
ganisation, and Seymour Stedman, a
defense attorney.
Gerber was called by the defense
to refute the qiiarge that socialists
nominated for public office were con
trolled by their party through resig
nations filed with county organiza
tion chairmen. He testified none of
the five socialists had signed such
resignations.
Mr. Stedman, attorney for both
Eugene V. Debs and Victor-L. Berger,
testified that these socialists were
convicted under the espionage act for
expressions of opinion and not for
any acts.

the beginning of serious sickness.

emics. Coughing weaaens tne sys
tem and brings on a condition that
