TEACHERS IN DEMAND
SEATTLE, Wash.. Dec. 1. While
Mayor Hiram Gill and John McCourt,
of Portland, special representative of
the War Department, were in confer
ence tonight, representatives of 18 civic
organizations were preparing' to ap
point a committee of 25 to present to
the City Council resolutions demanding'
the Mayor's impeachment.
The resolutions, adopted at a mass
meeting last night, held the Mayor re
sponsible for the order issued by Ma-jor-General
H. ' A. Greene, forbidding
Camp Lewis soldiers to visit this city,
on the ground that he had failed to
suppress a vice syndicate which Gen
eral Greene charged is operating- here.
It is not Known Just when the im
peachment resolutions will be submit
ted to the Council.
Secret Conference Held.
Neither Mr. McCourt nor Mayor Gill
would discuss the purpose of their con
ference tonight. After being closeted
with the Mayor, Mr. McCourt had an
other eecret conference with Chief of
Police Charles Becklngham, whom
Mayor Gill retained in office after Mr.
McCourt requested his removal recently.
Mayor Gill tonight said that if C.
J. France, chairman of the civic com
mittees would make directly, under his
own signature, the charges attributed
to common knowledge contained in the
resolutions, he would ask for Mr.
France's arrest on a charge of criminal
libel.
The Mayor asserted that personal po
litical enemies were responsible for the
holding of the mass meeting which
ratified the Impeachment resolutions.
Court May Decide.
"If Mr. France will charge, directly
over his signature, that I am guilty of
the offense of which he charges against
me by innuendo," declared the Mayor.
"I will give him a chance to try out
the truth of the charges in court, for
in that case I would at once obtain a
warrant for criminal libel. He Seeks to
evade the issue in the resolutions which
he prepared for adoption at his meet
ing by saying that certain things are
matters of common knowledge.
"I had intended to hold a meeting- of
my own if I found that what was said
and done at the Hippodrome meeting
Thursday night warranted me in going
to the people directly with the facts,
but I find now that it will not be
necessary."
It was learned tonight that at'i his
conference with the Mayor, Mr. Mc
Court approved the steps taken for the
internment and treatment of immoral
women found suffering from infectious
diseases.
Action la Approved.
"This idea of holding for treatment
all women arrested who are found to be
infected is an excellent one," said Mr.
McCourt, "and if it is carried out ener
getically, along with the other neces
sary steps in the vice crusade, it will
go a long way toward solving the ques
tion of a clean-up. The plan was .put
into effect more quickly in Seattle than
I was able to put it Into operation in
Portland."
Mr. McCourt said that he would go
to Tacoma Sunday morning.
"Conditions in Tacoma are worse than
they were a month ago, according to re
ports that I have received," he said,
"but I do not think a quarantine will be
necessary there as the authorities of
that city have shown a disposition to
co-operate effectively with the military
authorities. Many of the immoral wonv-
en that Seattle had harbored have gone
over there, but I still think that condi
tlons in that city are better than- they
are here."
NORMAL. SCHOOL RECORDS SHOW
HEAVY CALL ON STCDEJJTS.
President Ackerman to Attempt to In
duce More High School Boys to
Take Up Teaching.
OREGON NORMAL SCHOOL, Mon
mouth, Or., Dec. 1. 'Special.) Public
school teachers for Oregon are much in
demand.
Such was the assertion of President
Ackerman this week after an examina
tion of the school's records. With an
attendance which had been Increasing
for eix years, the present enrollment
represents a decline, and outside of the
fact that the sophomore class was
eliminated, he finds that the attraction
of underclassmen to the teaching field
has drawn heavily on the student body.
In many cases Juniors have responded
to the call and no arrangements have
been made to continue their normal
school training', since the needs for
their services are so urgent.
What President Ackerman hopes to
do is to prove to the high school stu
dents of the state that their opportun
ity to do their bit In the educational
programme of the country during the
war has come. It is feared that the
usual proportion of female graduates
of high schools will not prepare for
the teaching profession, although state
educators are emphasizing the new de
mands which the public school system
must meet during the war.
Salaries of city and country teachers
have gone higher; in certain instances
much higher, the president finds, be-
ause the supply of available material
is fehort.

EUGENE, Or., Dec 1. (Special.)
Plans for the organization of Oregon
boya between the ages of 16 and 21
years In the boys' working reserve as
aid to their Government in time of
war were made today at the 12th an
nual older boys' conference of the Y.
M. C. A. for the western district of the
state. . The working machinery of the
boys' section of the Y. M. C. A. will
virtually be turned over to the Federal
Government In the formation of the
boys' working reserve in this state. The
reserve is being organized throughout
the United States under Government
supervision. Its purpose is to enlist
all boys in some productive work next
Summer.
The importance of "keeping the home
fires burning" was made the central
theme in an address delivered by H.
R. Albee. formerly Mayor of Portland,
at a "Hoover" banquet tonight.
Professor F. S. Dunn, of the Univer
sity of Oregon, presided as toastmaster.
Other conference speakers today were
Rev. H. W. Davis, a religious director
at one of the Y. M. C. A. buildings at
Camp Lewis; J. A. Churchill. State Su

Boya of Today to Solve Questions.
Dr. E. H. Pence, formerly pastor of
the Westminster Presbyterian Church
in Portland, now engaged in Army Y.
M. C. A. work, in an address before the
conference last night on "The Chal
lenge of War," said that American boys
could not only play a prominent part
in winning the war, but that they must
look ahead to the part they must take
during the reconstruction period and
the adjustment of many problems that
will come with peace. '
"The boys will be the great Incubator
where the solutions of the problems of
the new age and the new world will be
hatched," he stated.
Dr. Pence indicated the view that
with the growth of democracy there
would be a greater tendency toward
Socialism and that an economic and
political revolution would bring to the
world big questions. The. American
boy must take a prominent part In ad
justing them, he said.
A conference service flag with 43
tars representing Oregon boys who at
tended the conference at Corvallls last
year and -who are now in their coun
try's service was presented to the con
ference yesterday by Dr. A. E. Caswell,

The People Are Now Face to Face With a
Crisis With Regard to the Clothes They
- Will Need for Future Wear
The advance in their cost for the year 1918 will be tremendous. The prices of woolen materials
have advanced more than 100. The cost of manufacture has increased from 30 to 50. The
price of trimmings has advanced 50 to 75. .
The above are facts plainly, stated. . Stocks on hand will soon be exhausted, and any honest mer
chant will tell you that there must be an advance of at least 50 on the garments you will buy next
year, which is in the near future. I, as a man interested in the general welfare, urge you to buy
your clothes for every member of your family now. If you do not buy them of me, buy them any
where you can get them right; but with our efficiency plan of profit sharing, neither man nor
woman can afford to buy a garment until they have investigated our selling policy, which will save
you many good American dollars on the clothes you will buy.
