The crates of the Panama Pacific Interna tional exposition today stand open, to the world. With a simple . ceremony that s epi tomized San Francisco's pride and ex ultation in Its great achievement, a ceremony devoid of pomp and display And-characterized "by a feeling of rev erence and gladness the exposition Vina declared completed and open at noon today. la the early morning IE.0,000 citizens of Ban Francisco, men, women and children from every stratum of the community, marched in a joyful pro Cession through the streets and poured into the grounds. It was fitting that the people should have had the stage first in the final act of the tplendid drama of aspiration and achievement. The people of San Francisco and fall those who came from far and near to share their triumph had invaded the exposition hours before the beginning of the opening ceremonies. It was their exposition; the spirit that the people of San Francisco have made famous to the ends of th- earth conceived it and wrought it from a splendid dream Into a still more splendid reality. 300,000 Eater Gates. So it was the people who Drought it into being that opened the exposi tion. They came to it as child: en, al! radiant with gladness and athrlll with pride. They came thousand upon thou sand all through the early hours of the morning until long before the pro grammed declaration of the opening had been announced they surged about the gorgeous palaces of their dreams more than a quarter of a million ttrong. And still through the long crowded day they came until their total reached the amazing figure of a full 300,000 souls. Chicago, St. Louis, no exposition in the world's history drew to its open ing much , more than ' one-half of that enormous atd unlooked for number. The great open spaces of ' the ex position weref literally ' carpeted with its own people When the two-hour ser vice of song and oratory that led up rtb the formal: opening, commenced. " This ceremony was the acme of dignity and simplicity. At 9 o'clock the oflcials of the -exposition,- the men charged" by San Francisco with, the high responsibility. of building therj.ex posi tlon, gathered at the California building. There Franklin K. Lane, secretary; of the interior and the per sonal representative chosen by Presi dent Wilson to open the exposition in i. the name of the nation in his stead, met the exposition officials. Son Sfclaas on Scene. 1 Almost on the stroke of 9 President C. C. Moore and' Secretary Lane led forth from the California building the official procession. A few minutes before a magic brush had swept clear a threatening sky, leaving it blue and cloudless and the sun rising upward in the east, drenched all the exposition and made it glow. This meteorological miracle amazed ' even those San Franciscans whose faith in the faith of the conduct of the weather is proverbial. The night had been half - full with storm blown rain. The city had gone to bed al most in despair. Not till just a little before dawn did the storm spend It self. The first light of the morning revealed a sky of blue and crystal clarity after the storm. The breeze still sweeping strongly from the ocean, dried the -sodden streets in the first hour of the morning. Hope swelled up buoyantly .while the crowds flocked to the streets only to be dashed again by a vicious little hall storm that launched itself, like a jest, upon the gathering throngs. From then until the hour set for the start of the ofr vftvlal procession threatening qlouds scudded from horizon to horizon. The change from foreboding to the blaze and glory of a perfect day came with iramatie suddenness five minutes be , fore President Moore and Secretary Lane led the procession of officials out Into 'Administration avenue and com- UN AND CROWD OPENING Oom.-luded on Page Two, Column One).

Quaint and effective was the greeting or Oregon to the hosts of visitors thronging the impressive pavilion on the bay shore today. At the main entrance, just within the huge fir :og portals, was posted a placard announcing: "We apologize, but come again." In spite of the not altogether fin ished interior, for which the apology was made, the Oregon building, one of the most distinctive on the grounds, was thronged throughout the day, and many resolves to "Come again" were expressed. Portland was officially represented at the opening of the exposition by 6igSlchel, who was sent down by Mayor Albee to bring the best wishes of that city. - "With Sichel were a host -of lioyal Rosarians and other boosters. After a tour of the grounds they went to the Oregon building to congratulate O. JV1. Clark, . chairman of the Oregon commission, and R. A. Booth, commis sioner. The register of Oregon visitors In the city for the exposition was more than 1.400 when the books were clos ed last night. - - STATE WILL PARTICIPATE Salem, Ov., Feb. 20. -The house to night adopted the senate resolution authorizing formal participation oy the state In the ceremonies of open ing the Celilo canal at Big Eddy May 5.

ICnttrd Press f.smd Wtre. Washington, Feb. 20. So gravelv was the international situation con sidered tonight that officials tools more than ordinary precautions to guard their actions from the puplia. Two things in the present view were manifest, however, namely, that this nation does not intend to recede from its posltioti that its ships have the right, to traverse Germany's "death zone'' unharmed; and that, in enforc ing these views the government wants. Insofar as it can with honor, to avoid Involving itself in serious in ternational complications. Answers to Germany's and England's statement of position were understood to be in the making. ' Germany's answer, if it is more than a mere acknowledgment, will re iterate America's idea, that Germany cannot rightfully and must not, de stroy American shipping nor lives in the war zone. Armed neutrality Suggested. In some quarters armed neutrality was suggested as a means to show both England and Germany that this nation is firm in its stand. Officials solemnly averred that the navy In ! "tranquil; others inclined to be critical called It somnolent. Cabinet officers were extremely cautious in their comments and par ticularly insistent on urging news papermen not to become jingoistic, or to alarm the public. But most of them,, including Secretary, of State Bryan, declined positively to take the press Into their confidence, either with official announcement or general in formation lor their guidance. Practically the only admission they would make was tiiat the situation is extremely grave and delicate. Germany Denies Responsibility. .Germany's position of refusing to accept responsibility for any "blow up in the war zone," was emphasized at the state department tody by Am bassador Bernstorff who reiterated that Germany will not shoulder the blame. ' lie denied that his government had given the United States any secret as surance, that American ships. would ba given every protection In the "death zoneV' Neutral countries watched the state department's course with deep inter est. Destruction of Scandinavian ves sels lent to the situation a serious as pect, but ministers of these countries declined to voice their government's feelings-or to comment on what infor mation the state department has given them. .

The pope has sent a delegation to- Paris and London to request the French and English Cath olic clergy "not to abuse enemy na tions in divine service," according to an announcement made today by the semi-official news bureau. The holy father, it is stated, will take action against recalcitrants who fall ' to heed this request. The papal delegates, it is further announced, have been in structed to point out to the French and English clergy the exemplary con duct of the German clergy in this respect.

Kit . ? x ae t . m Equal Pag for Equal Service k at e it at at at at at Printing Fight Is Near End 1 j BY OSWALD WEST Salem, Or., Feb. 20. AVhilc no radical changes have been made in the school laws at this session a number of important measures have been passed and a number of which are of a constructive nature. .Probably one of the most needed and equitable passed at this session was the one provid ing that there should be hereafter no discrimination between men and wom en teachers. .In other words equal pay will be granted for equal service. It is to be regretted that there are those among us who are too narrow to admit the justice of this contention and who have prevented an earlier re moval of existing unjust discriminations. With a view of raising the stand ards for county school superintendents a law has been passed which.pro vides that to be eligible for such a. person one shall have taught school for at least 27 months, 12 of which must have beert in. Oregon, and must hold a state certificate based upon his graduation from a standard normal school, a standard college or university, or hold a life certificate based upon ex amination. An attempt to repeal the existing 'supervisory law resulted in a com promise amendment to the law which makes its application to a county optional with the voters therein. . .. ' - An attempt was made to secure favorable action on-a bill to provide for the county unit in the administration of the affairs of the schools. Owing to the fact that the bill was not thoroughly understood the passage of a resolution was secured which provides for the appointment of a com mittee of five to thoroughly investigate and report on the propriety of adopting the system in this state. . With a view of encouraging teachers to strive for higher grade certi ficates a reduction of fees charged for the issuance of such certificates has been provided for. High Schools Scope Broadened. Provision has also been made for a high school tuition fund which makes it possible. for every boy and girl in the state to secure a high school (Concluded on Page ALLIED FLEETS SHELL DARDANELLES FORTS; MANY ARE SILENCED British Admiralty Denies Turkish Claims That Any British Vessels Were Hurt.

(Saleni Bureau of The Journal,) Salem. Or.. Feb. 20. The house passed the Moser bill making all ap pointive officials subject to removal at the pleasure of the appointive pow er tonight. This means the deatliocK over the Schuebel workmen's compen sation bill Is broken and the ScAuebel bill will now be passed by the senate as It came from the house. The bill was passed with the house holding its nose, but the members real ized that this was the ransom exacted by the powers that rule the senate on pain of leaving the workmen's compen sation law a grotesque and battered travesty. The Moser bill', under which ippoint- ive officials in the state are sub jected to removal' by the appointing power from which they received their positions, is already the subject of speculation. . - It - is admittedly a restoration of the qpoils system in state government. Under any reasonable construction there Is no definite and fixed term for any appointive ontctai. Every employe continues In office subject to the whim or fancy of the appointing head. ; It. is claimed that under the' bill, boards of regents of state educational institutions, heretofore fixed in a def inite term of office, are subject at any time to removal by the' governor, who could by use of such power absolutely control the policy and. conduct of all such institutions. Being the law most recently adopted with, reference to terms, of office, it supercedes laws hitherto passed fixing the terms of of ficials. Including regents of -aucb in stitutions. " ; The measure was forced through the house by the senate as a compromise in securing the passage by. the senate of the workmen's compensation amend ments as they originally passed the house In the Schuebel bill. Miss Marian B. Towne, who onee before roused such a storm of pro- test at an Inroad upon the rights of the people that the house hurled back the Olson primary bill to the com mittee that recommended it, once more sought to rouse the same spirit of rebellion. She failed. . because the representatives knew the compensa tion bill was the price of their vote. Miss Town 'Protests, i "The senate has sent this Iniqui tous bill to force down our throats, thinking they have bound us hand and foot.
