German radical leaders have declared that a programme has been prepared with the aid of prominent Russian com- rt a revyiKLiuii m dictatorship 01 me more than during the same period last year. Thus the trade balance In favor of the United States for the first ID months of this year is JJ. 112,000.000, compared with a balance for the same period the year before of 3.400,000,000. Imports of gold during October were the largest in three years, amounting to $117,000,000 as com pared with $39,000,000 in September and J5.0O0.000 in October last year. For the 10-months period, gold im ports amounted to $316,000,000 against $61,000,000 in the same period of 1919. Gold exports in October were $26,000,000 against $44,000,000 in Oc tober last year and for the 10 months ended with October exports of gold amounted to $285,000,000 against $270,000,000 for the same period last year. Trade in silver remains relatively small, the statement said. Imports for the 10 months ended with Octo ber were $78,000,000 against $73,000, 000 last year, and exports were $104.- 000.000, as compared with $189,000. 000 for the corresponding period last year.

The radicals promised that the out break would come soon, probably late in the winter or early next spring. They were of divided opinions as to whether they could overturn the ex isting government, some of them say ing the attempt probably would fail, others believing they would succeed, but all apparently were unanimous in the belief the effort should te made. A number of leaders of the moder ate wing of the independent social ists, who split with the left win over the question of co-operaUn,, with the third internationale at Mos cow to bring about the revolution, also expressed the opinion, that there would be a serious attempt to oust the present government.

Radicals Wildly Entliunlnstic. Through these arguments the light wing socialists sat silent except when some statement greatly angered them; hut the radicals exhibited the wildest enthusiasm. The galleries supported them with applause and "The Interna tionale" frequently was s-:n hy chnnN nf hundreds who stoou si at tention until the martial music ceased .Among the delegates on tne conven tion floor and in the crowded gal leries were many women and girls. These appeared to be about equally divided in their allegiance, but the supporters of the Moscow adherents were more demonstrative. The speeches of the delegates often were interrupted by thin-voiced protests of girls wearing the red button of the revolutionaries, and women and girls always joined in the singing of the proletariat's anthem. The dull gray iiiiii'orms of ex-privates in the army were conspicuous in the galleries and those who wore them all seemed to know the words of "The Internation ale." The more influential leaders of the extreme radicals are gray-haired, vet eran socialists who have been closely identified with government circles since the first Jirman revolution. Others are young and eloquent dis trict labor leaders, who have been brought into prominence since the war by st rikes and industrial dis turbances. Terror Regime I'roposfd, "We are willing to subscribe un conditionally to the red programme and to establish the dictatorship of the proletariat," a young radical said to a correspondent. "We don't want to be moderate. We won't be. There will be enough killings in the next revolution to spread a wholesome terror among the bourgeoisie A rev olution cannot be accomplished in a kindly, soft-mannered fashion. Blood must flow and we are willing to shed our share of it. W$ are fighting a system that has hundreds of years of organization back of it and we cannot treat with it. It is life or death for the. proletariat and the is sue here has been drawn." Asked when he expected the revolution to begin, he answered : "1 could give you dates and figures, but of course I won't. However, you may expect it soon.' The plan of the radical leaders as near as could be learned was to form organizations in the several districts and have them prepared to co-operate when the call goes out. They said that if their first on slaught gives show of success 5,000, 000 Germans would quickly rally to their support. Independent socialists opposed to Vue Moscow programme began plan ning to correspond with radicals of all nations who are opposed to ruth I ess u ess and agree upon a plan of act ion if possible. The headquarters of both factions are in Berlin. Steps Taken to Meet increasing Number ot Those lu State Who Attend College. UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, Eugene, Nov. 27. (Special.) The University of Oregon is not at all unwilling to co-operate with tne students in the establishment of the nonor system when the students are prepared and wiiitnsz- to accent it. according to President Campbell, who has returned from an extended eastern trip. President Campbell spent some time investigating tne woiKings oi the honor - system at the University of Virginia, where it has been in op eration since 1842. The honor system places the student entirely upon his own responsibility in regard to mat ters involving truth and nonesty. i ne administration does not have a polic- g svstem over the students under t h i n 1 a. n . At the University or v lrginia. me faculty and students are entirely sat isfied with the honor system. it apiweciated and approved by them. Matters of conduct not mvoivm truth or honesty are reserved for faculty jurisdiction. Steps were taken at the annual meeting of the State university asso ciation to meet the increasing pres sure of excessive number of students attending colleges. President Camp bell attended this meeting. The idea of increasing the number of years the student spends in high school and junior high school was considered as a solution to the increased attend ance problem. This question i srrowinss more Dressing every day ii Oregon and it is only a matter of time until this state will have to take steps along this line. The idea of granting fellowships to famous artists and literary men to encourage them to live at the uni versities and by their productive work to inspire the students was given en couragement by the State University association. The University of Ore gon at the present time has some of the best artists, but they are required to teach rather than spending their time in productive endeavor, stated President Campbell. An investigation of medical schools and hospitals of the east was made with the idea of extending and en larging the University oi Oregon medical school in Portland. kxti IMS viLa Every Cut-Silk Tie in the House Selling Up to Today at $2.50, $3 and $4 REDUCED TO These are all fresh, new ties ; no "seconds" ; no "sub-standards."
