PLAGIARISM HELD LIKELY BLIND PUPILS TO GO HOME .Only Other Possibility Is That Ad miral Was Informed toy "Telep athy," Says Secretary- . Teachers May Attend National Con vention at Detroit. VANCOUVER. - Wash.. May 18 (Special.) The "Washington state schools for the deaf and for the blind WASHINGTON. May 18.

Mr. "Daniels recalled that the sen ator, in a speech in the senate on August 24, 1918, declared that pro crastination on the part of the secre tary delayed the termination of the war at least three months, cost $15,- 000,000,000 and many lives. "The words used by Senator Penroi were almost identical with those used by Admiral Sims more than a year 1-, Aw I "i 1 r Plagiarism Held Possible. "Either Admiral Sims is a plagiarist and appropriated his views and charges from Senator Penrose or by the new science of mental telepathy the views of the senator were com municated to Admiral Sims," declared Mr. Daniels. "Penrose comes from Pennsylvania, and Sims was appointed to the naval academy from that state. "It is also worthy of note." he said. "that at the very time Penrose was making this speech Sims was writing to CaDtain Pratt threatening an in vestigation of the conduct of the war." Mr. Daniels said : he would not an swer the Penrose charges at length,' because his answer to Admiral Sims covered the matter fully. He devoted the rest of the day to a resume of the navy department's war construction activities, comprising approximately 1000 vessels, nearly three times as mnay as there were in the entire navy when the war started. British Honor Denied Sims. Secretary Daniels atd Admiral Sims' "highest and dearest ambition" was blasted when permission to ac cept an appointment as an honorary member of the British admiralty was refused him. The secretary added that the admiral expressed "deep re. gret and embarrassment" when the permission was denied, because the tender had come from the "king himself" Although the offer was without nrecerient. Mr. Daniels said it could not be accented because it was "un- American" and had not been made to representatives of the other allies.

HOUSER IS FOR WOOD GENEKAJL COUNTED STRONG EST AXTWOILVSOX FORCE. Problem Held Economic One, That of Establishing Harmonious Re lations With Nations. "If we regrret haviner taken part in the war with Germany, and now wish to renounce everything accomplished by the efforts and sacrifices of the nation, then we should support Sen ator Hiram W. Johnson in his oppo sition to the treaty and to the safe guarded league of nations." This statement was made by Max H. Houser, who yesterday announced himself as favorable to the candidacy of Leonard Wood, whom he considers the strongest force opposed to the "no-league" candidacy of Senator Johnson in the Oregon primaries. "There is very little of the per sonal element in my view." said Mr. Houser, "for personalities mean noth ing to me now. Our problem i3 an economic one tht of establishing harmonious relations with other na tions. "But our prospects for overseas trade would be very materially im paired if we should refuse to associ ate ourselves with other nations in any such common understanding as that contemplated by the treaty. American commerce, I feel, would be seriously affected. "Granted a smooth relationship with other world powers, there will be vast opportunities for America in the field of foreign commerce. Kspe cially important to the Pacific coast are the prospects for business in China, where development is only be ginning. After certain preliminaries have been carried out. there are other possibilities for trade in the orient. including Siberia. I believe that a great deal depends upon friendly re lations between the United States and 'the other nations that took part in the world war." In giving his views on the political situation in Oregon, Mr. Houser em phasized the need of individual think ing by all classes of voters.
