"The Chancellor tries to stimulate
and encourage his people by doping
them with illusions, and Germany will
find that her hopes are Just as much
illusions as others which have been
dispelled. Owing to submarine attacks
we cannot last much longer, according
to the German Chancellor. I am sorry
to disillusion him at the outset of his
career, but truth compels me to do it."

Turning to the Chancellor's state
ment regarding the U-boat war, Mr
Lloyd George said that April was the
height of the German piratical tri
umph. The Germans could look back
to that month as a month of glory.
"Since then," he continued, "we have
gradually decreased our losses.

Conservation of Food, Home Eco
nomics and Industrial Arts Fea
tured Prominent Lec
turers Are Heard.
OREGON AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE,
Corvallis, July 21. (Special.) With
the end of the annual Summer school
session yesterday, the work of resident
instruction came to a close for the col
lege year. The keynote of the Summer
term was conservation of food, clothing
and human power, with a view to Na
tional service In the war crisis. Pro
fessor E. D. Ressler directed the school.
The total registration was 367, In
cluding 36 in the boys' and girls' club
course. Of these, 73 represent other
states and foreign countries, including
27 from California. 23 from Washing
ton, 8 from Idaho, and 3 from North
Dakota. Other states represented are:
Montana, Nevada. Iowa. Missouri, Okla
homa, Michigan, Illinois, Indiana. Mas
sachusetts and Vermont. Canada and
India contributed three.
Orelfn Well Represented.
Twenty-eight Oregon counties sent
students, Benton leading with 106 and
Multnomah following with 40. Lane
and Marion each sent 14, Wasco 11,
Linn 11, Polk 10, Washington 9. Other
counties having from 1 to 7 are: Clack
amas, Clatsop, Columbia, Coos, Douglas,
Gilliam, Hood River, Jackson. Jeffer
son, Josephine, Klamath Lincoln. Mal
heur, Sherman, Tillamook, Umatilla,
Union, Wheeler, Yamhill.
The strong course In home economics
and Industrial arts appealed especially
to the out-of-state students, all of
whom registered in the one or the oth
er. The National prestige of the spe
cial lecturers. Miss Alice Ravenhill and
Mrs. Woolman in home economics, and
G. F. Buxton in industrial arts, who
conducted daily classes for the entire
six weeks, and the strength of courses
offered by the local staff, attracted
widespread attention throughout the
country.
Commerce Coarse Attracts.
More than 80 courses were given In
all departments, commerce running a
close third to home economics and in
dustrial arts. Natural sciences drew
many students, but, because field work
is so pressing, the classes in agricul
ture were seldom below normal. The
grain-grading course, established this
year for the first time in the entire
country, gave training to 20 persons
among the state's most substntial citizens.
It was & matter of gratification that
when President Kerr received Herbert
C. Hoover's request for special classes
in food economy a picked class of col
lege graduates was already engaged in
a special intensive course, and every
class in cooking was doing work in
food preservation. All women in
school were given an opportunity to
attend special lectures and demonstrations.
