' DRAFTS E E OF CRIPPLED CHILDREN Governor-Elect Withycombe Has Promised Support of Bill of the Club Women. GOVERNOR WEST FAVORS Physicians' Have Volunteered to Do- Sat Medical Services for .the Cause. - (Special to The Journal. Eugene, Or., Dec. 13.- Following a conference In Eucene today with Dr. James Withycombe, governor-elect, and with members of the Eugene rortnignt flub,, which organization is sponsor. for the movement, Mrs. Millie . Trumouu of Portland, chairman of the legisla tive committee of the Oregon Federa tion of Women's clubs announced that a bill has-been prepared to provide hos pital care for crippled children oi tne state, and the legislature will be asked to pass It at Its coming session. The bill has the promised indorsement of Governor-elect Withycombe who told the club women that he will support it in his message, and it has the sup port of Governor West. The physi cians of the state have also Indorsed the movement, says Mrs. Trumbull. 4 They have agreed to donate medical services, and the appropriation to be asked from the state will be used only for the payment of the cost of keeping the crippled children in the hospital long enough to effect a cure. Portland club women have volun teered to provide for educational fea tures, says Mrs. Trumbull, by which the children undergoing treatment may receive vocational training, and may come out not only cured but taught to. use their hands and brain. The bill places the administration of the fund in the hands of the medical department Of the University of Ore gon in Portland. The bill is modeled after the Minnesota law in operation for many years. Another bill being prepared by the Woman's clubt says Mrs. Trumbull, Is for an amendment to the widows' pen sion law. Under the amended form no woman with any property other than her home will be eligible to a pension. BATTLE IN POLAND .REACHES NEW CRISIS; BOTH CLAIM VICTORY (Continued From Page One.) firms the statements, that the Rus stans evacuated Lodz. It was first not observed, but was merely the out come of the previous three days' flght- lnsr. 'The Russian trenches were round literally filled with dead. Though It was our forces which were making the attacks oucloss was far below that of tha Russians. "In the famous dash through the Russian lines our Twenty-fifth reserve corps lost only 150 men. v "We are able to estimate tne bus sian losses rather accurately in the battles In Poland to date. Inoludlng 60.000 prisoners, the Russians have lost 160,000. The city of Loda suffered very lit. tie from sun fire in the last battle for its. possession." Vrxasurss Is Capture a.. The most important factor in the latest reports from the eastern theatre is that of the taking ox rasasnyss. Although this, in itself. Is not import- ant. it shows that the Germans north of the Vistula have begun an active offensive. Przasnyss lies in the direct line of communication between Wittenberg and Warsaw, showing that the Ger man advance is directed against the fortifed line along the Narew river. If this line is .broken the Germans would be in the rear of Warsaw and able to exercise a deciding influence on the Polish campaign. News from south Poland and Galicia, despite certain successes for the Ger mans and Austrlans, leaves no doubt that severe resistance is being en countered everywhere. Evidently the Austrians In the Carpathians are too email to clear Hungarian , territory of the enemy at once, but must attack and repulse one column after another. The Austrians report tnai iv.uvv Russions have been captured, but fall to say within what period, making their report meaningless. The operations in Servia are also meeting with dogged resistance at some points, but they are proceeding southward of Belgrade. WEST BANK OF YSER CLEARED OF ENEMY BY TROOPS OF ALLIES Paris, Dec. 12. So numerous have been the reinforcements that General Joffre has thrown behind the line at Ypres to support the thinned British ranks and behind the the chain of allies positions along the Ypres canal northward to the sea, that during the past two days, . even with the German attacks the most violent of any since those of the early days of the battle of Flanders, the allies have been able to clear the west bank of the Yyser of the Invaders. The official statement issued at Paris today declares that from the point opposite the ferryman's house between Dixmude and Ypres, for pos' session : of which there was such a desperate struggle, to the furtherst north of the allies' lines, the enemy has been -forced completely to evacuate the west bank of the canal, the allies advancine their trenches to the wa ter's edge, where they now command a sweeo of the east bank. That the allies have been able to make good the advantage thus gained is indicated by the official statement issued at midnight- which says there is no new Incident to report, permit ting the assumption that the allies were able to dig themselves in at their advanced positions and thoroughly strengthen their hold. Nine distinct artillery engagements i-were fought at widely separated points of the battle line, in all or wnicn tne French guns proved victorious. In fcur of the engagements the German batterleB opposing the French were destroyed completely or silenced. In the region of Arras the French guns maintained the advantage during a sharp exchange. . - Near .Nampoel French shells put the German guns out of action.

' (Special to The Journal.) University of Oregon, Eugene. Or., Dec. 12. More consideration for the privately-owned public utility was the undercurrent in the final sessions of the special session of the Common wealth Conference here today. Both morning and afternoon sessions were devoted to the discussion of hydro electric development in Oregon. . H. B. Miller of Portland was chairman of the Sessions. W. D. B. Dodson of Portland, secretary of the Oregon Hydro-Electric commission, was sec retary. The discussion centered about a bill which the commission submitted to the conference as the proposed out lines for legislative action next month. The bill was concerned with these three propositions: The creation of Dublin utilitv dis- triots for distribution of electric energy. The regulation of publicly owned utilities by the state railroad commis sion, as at persent in the case of privately owned . utilities. The adoption Of the indeterminate franchise as typified in the Wiscon sin publio utilities act. Market Zs Weeded, Distribution of electrical enertrv. the finding of "a market for the elec tricity, rather than the generation of more current, was recognised by all the speakers at the session. On this both the opponents and proponents of the scheme of dividing the state into utility districts, agreed. b. 15. Huston of Portland urtred careful consideration of the proposed measure, on the grounds that genera tion of electric power by water power is not cheaper than by steam, that steam is more steady in pressure, that the current is less liable to in terruption when steam is used rather than water, and on the possibility of an arbitrary secretary of the interior taking supervision of the power ren- srated. if the current, generated on private property, passed over "10 feet of government land." Until conrran make nuin llh.rol laws in regard to hydro-electric de velopment. It Is my opinion." said Mr. Huston, "that these proposed' districts would not be a financial success." "Now therefore be It resolved." be gins a resolution read by Charles E. Warner of Portland, "that it is the sense of the Commonwealth Confer ence assembled at Eugene this 12th day of December, 1914, that the an nual appropriation for topographic surveys should be continued, and hot disturbed or decreased by the coming session of the legislature; and fur' ther, that part of the funds appro priated under chapter 87, Laws 1913, should be expended In the irrigation possibilities of this Willamette val ley, and the officers in charge of the expenditure of this fund be so ad vised, and requested to also give their attention to the study of un derground and surface waters of all This Solves the CMstmas GiffcProM The Greatest Distribution of Pianos and Player Pianos Ever Witnessed Must Come to a Close Now When dozens of instruments are sold by Eilers Music House daily, when instruments to the value of tens of thousands of dollars are being taken each week, what does it mean? Doesn't it mean that hundreds of shrewd and far sighted business men and women of this city and state are recognizing the great opportunity which most un usual conditions have made possible? , Doesn't it mean that these people are going out of the way now to get a piano because so much of actual intrinsic worth is now obtainable for so little money ? Would all these people and there are hundreds upon hundreds, of them, as you can readily verify- would all these people, we say, buy pianos now if they did not find instruments obtainable for less than ever heretofore, and undoubtedly, for less than ever here after? That's it in a nutshell. The low prices on the na tion's finest makes, coupled : with the most extraordi nary easy terms of payment, - make this great piano selling.

Huston was also appointed by Chairman Miller to urge upon the Oregon senators In Washington the necessity of some amendment to the Ferris bill, now before the senate, 1n regard to western protection in hydro electric regulation. Among other speakers on this af ternoon's program were: Porter J. Neff of Medford, William H. P. Hill, sales manager of the Northwestern Electric company of Portland, and J. L. White of Albany.
