SLAUGHTER HELD USELESS Speaker at University Club Dinner Declares Opponents of Defense - Are Gamblers With Lives. "otes Deemed Worthless. Declaring- himself for preparedness but saying- hat he spoke aa a pacifist. President John Grier Hibben. of Prince ton University, addressed a large din ner party in his honor last night at the University Club. "I appear before you tonight as a pacifist." he said, "for a pacifist. I take It. Is one who believes in peace, and who believes In preparedness, not for war but for protection against war. It Is the one who believes in preparedness who is making for peace in this coun try. I confess mine Is not the order of pacifist of Mr. Bryan or Mr. Ford or the others who are for peace at any price.

R. Alderman, superintendent of Portland schools. President Hibben was greeted by a Princeton cheer when he waa in troduced, and si the conclusion of his address "Old IJassau" and other col lege soars we.-e sung. As an argument for preparedness the speaker said the best youth of Eng land were taken out and slaughtered like cattle because Great Britain was unprepared, and he declared It a use less sacrifice. Ths Civil War. he said, might have been won In one year if the country had been prepared. He declared that pacifists opposed to preparedness are gamblers, willing to risk human Uvea "Wa insure our houses, our factories and manufacturing plants against loss by fire." ha said. "Why not insure our country against loss by war? You do not wait until the house starts to burn before you guard against fire, for you can't Insure It then. Nor should wa wait until a foe has landed upon our shores before we begin to prepare for defense. "We send forth notes to foreign powers, but these foreign powers know our notes are not worth the paper they are written on because we are not prepared to enforca them. "There is a song being sung in our schools and elsewhere throughout this country that voices a miserable senti ment How does a mother know what she is raising her boy for? We should raise our boys so that when they hear the sacred call of duty, here or abroad, they must answer, they dare not turn a deaf ear to it. "1 believe we should always keep our doors open to the men of foreign birth -who can come to this country and find here a refuge. But wa have a right to demand that if he chooses this country, there shall be no backward glance across the sea. This country, to him and to his children, shall be his fatherland. The hyphenated citizen cannot be the American citizen. Mrs. W. D. Wheelrig-ht entertained Mrs. Hibben at dinner while President Hibben spoke at the University Club.

He urged fidelity and faithfulness to every-day tasks as the grounding for future success, declaring that "after all it is the spirit in which the work is done that tells." He was delighted with Reed College. AFRICA GETS OREGON HOPS Consignment From Independence Is Routed by Way of Portland. SALEM, Or Jan. II. (Special.) What is said to be the first shipment of Oregon hops to South Africa left Independence today for Portland, where it will be sent by steamer to its desti nation. The shipment was made by Purbln & Cornoyer. buyers of this city, and consisted of ITS bales. Of the total number of bales In the order, RS are destined for Johannesburg; ;i for Al goa: 68 for Natal: 14 for Cape Town: 12 for Bloomfontein and 13 for Pretoria. The hops were grown by Madison Bros., of Independence. has become an issue that is causing!! worry to state officials interested In the elimination of predatory animals. Mad coyotes must be done away with, is the opinion of these officials. The more domestic animals are In danger of passing the disease on to the human family, it Is believed. Boise and Twin Falls have ordered all dogs muzzled Many have been killed. Tests made by the State Bacteriologist show that most of the coyotes killed suffered from rabies. This Is also true of dogs or stock bitten by them. The present contagion is somewhat of a puzzle to the authorities here. So far as la known there is not a case of a person bitten either by a dog supposed to be mad or by a coyote who has suffered from hydrophobia. The Pasteur treatment is being admin istered daily by State Bacteriologist Laubaugh. He has also sent the treat ment to various parts or the state. Coyotes have Invaded many farms. The wounds made on the stock Imme diately showed symptoms of poison and soon afterwards every symptom of rabies appeared and they had to be killed There were 14,380 coyotes killed In Idaho in 1916. for which the state paid 135.704.
