8 THE OREGON DAILY JOURNAL, PORTLAND. THURSDAY, AUGUST 26, 1915. RAILROAD DIRECTOR SAYS MONEY EASY FOR SAFE PURPOSES Felix Warburg Sees Pros perous Times in Store for Urn ted States, FARMERS' CREDITS URGED Bankers Should be Xss Cautions is ' tending ruli, He Declares, Fol lowing the Xead of OortrasiMt. Strong in his belief that America is entering upon the premiership of the nations In finance and Industry, Felix Warburg, director of the Baltimore & Ohio railway, ia in Portland today. Mr. Warburg; i a brother of Paul Warburg;, member of the federal re serve board. In the federal reserve bank idea Mr. Warburg: says he sees an end of financial doubt. He sees in it an agency for the upbuilding of in dustry farming; a well aa manufac ture. Said he: "Secretary McAdoo's prompt step In offering; $20,000,000 to the cotton growers of the gouth so soon after the allies' declaration of cotton as contra band bad this effect: It gave confi dence to the ordinary banker that the government Is back of the cotton in dustry. With this conviction, the bankers will be willing- to do of them selves what the government is offering to do. Would Extend Credit Partner. "The same idea may well be carried out in the extension of credit to farm ing communities generally. It occurs to rae that what the banks should do Is to be more liberal in the extension of credits. It is natural that the bankers should hesitate because of their re sponsibility In guarding other people's money. But with the government Itself demonstrating' that it is as im portant to finance an agricultural in dustry as any other industry, they should not remain timid." Mr. Warburg declared business on the Baltimore & Ohio and all the rail roads of the east to be picking up. He fears no extensive depression be cause of the war abroad and believes American Industry has started on the up grade. Plenty of Money Available. "There is plenty of money for in vestment at easy rates," he said. "Al most any worthy project may now be financed. The only ones that are not so easy to finance are those develop ment schemes that involve a long wait before the returns are to come in. With British consols selling at such a premium it is but natural that invest ments that bring in smaller returns Should suffer. "I have seen the expositions of Cal- ' irornia, have seen the scenic wonders of the west and am. convinced more than ever that It is in the west that the true spirit of Americanism is to be found." ' Mr. Warburg' is accompanied by Mrs. Warburg and their two daugh ters. They will leave for the north tonight and expect to visit Glacier Na tional park. INTERESTING COUPLE VISITS PORTLAND ....

D. Sheldon, head of the educational department of the Uni versity of Oregon, and he outlined the plan of the new organization to the Clackamas county teachers assembled at the training school Wednesday. The principal change, he said, will be made in qualification for member ship. Heretofore any teacher who paid the annual fees was a voting member. The new plan allows each county one member of the association ' for every 100 teachers, and a delegate for eacn teachers' organization in the county. It Is also planned to consolidate the eastern and western divisions of the association. Dr. Sheldon spoke of the extension division of the university and the courses It had to offer. The teachers' training school is of great value, he believes, and some law should be passed compelling all the teachers to attend part of the time. "The standardization exhibit of the Oregon schools in the Oregon building is attracting more attention at the Panama-Pacific exposition than all the other educational exhibits," said Dr. Sheldon. "It is attracting some of the coun try's largest educators, and because of it, several states are contemplating adopting the same system as Oregon has." New Leader in Race for Queen Vancouver, Wash..

COMMERCE 1 CLUB WILL CONSIDER NEW '1ST POINT' PLAN Special Meeting Tonight Is Called for Discussion of Ways and Means to End, Vancouver, Wash., Aug. 26. A spe cial meeting of the Vancouver Com mercial club will be held this evening to consider the proposition of estab lishing a big military and aviation school in this city. A letter has been received from the East Side Business Men's club of Portland urging the local club to "get busy" in the matter. Numerous advantages for the loca tion of such a school at this place have been cited. The water in the Colum bia river is sufficient for aquatic ath letics and training, the mild air cur rents will permit aviation and the mountains and other higher altitudes afford landings. Including Mount Ta bor, Council Crest. Larch mountain and even Mount Hood. Should such a school be started here it would be termed the "West Point of the West" AH members of the club are urged to be present this evening to discuss the matter.

Sawyer, pastor of the First Chris tian church, who married Pietro Dastl and Llzsie Colacola here August 14, is maxing a strong fight to secure the release of the girl from the custody of me snenrr and to have her placed In the hands of friends. With her mother and her husband she was arrested in Portland yesterday on charges of per jury and was brought to Vancouver. Her mother was released yesterday that ehe might return to Portland to care for other members of the fam ily, but the girl was placed in a cell with another woman, of questionable character. Mr. Sawyer last evening made an attempt to have the girl taken from her- surroundings and placed In his home under guard. He offered to bear any expense which might be Incurred in placing a guard over her. Rev. Mr. Sawyer severely criticised the officials this morning In discuss ing the matter, stating that he could not see why, when the officials were so Interested in the moral welfare of the child, they should bring her to Vancouver and place her In a cell with such a woman. He will continue his efforts to have the girl released or at least taken from her present surroundings. The girl's husband, who is in Jail, Is making an attempt today to secure his release on bail.

Vocational Training In Schools Is Urged leading Speaker at Rational Educa tional Convention Present Strong Arguments for Specialised Training'. Oakland. Cal.. Aug. 26. (U. P.) Five imDortant meetings on vital edu cational subjects are ttelng held today by various branches and associations connected with the National Educa tional association. Chief among the meetings Is the congress on vocational training and education In the Audi torium theatre. Strong arguments for vocational training in the schools were made by leading educators, who ex plained the necessity of specialty edu cation to a large numoer oi leacnera. "Vocational education," declared Dean T. M. Balliet of New York uni versity, "fits pupils for their llfework. It means trade schools, commercial schools and professional schools. It is accepted as truth that no education can be effective which does not direct ly appeal to the interests of the stu dent." KAISER WILL MODIFY DIVER WARFARE PLAN (Continued From Page One) will be guided entirely by the rules of international warfare. Germany has modified hef subma rine warfare plans. Count von Ber&storff, the German ambassador, told Secretary of State Lansing so today. He also informed Lansing that the telegram he sent from New York, asking the United States to withhold action in regard to the sink ing of the Arabic pending receipt of the official report from Berlin, was done so upon receipt of orders to this effect from the German foreign office. Government officials say .Germany has changed her original plans of in discriminately sinking enemy vessels.

Von Bernstorff would have ex pressed "deep reeret" for the loss of American lives, but would have point ed out that citisens of the United States had been fully warned not to travel on the enemy's ships. Secretary Lansing- explained that, while the United States was withhold ing action at Germany's request. It could not maintain that position Indef initely. He suggested that, inasmuch as a week already had passed since the Arabic was sent to the bottom, Ger many's side of the affair should be re ceived not later than the end of this week. What XJ. S. Expects. Unless it is proven that a German submarine did not sink the Arabic, the United States must have an adequate disavowal of government responsibility, punishment of the commander of the submarine and reparation for the fam ilies of the victims, Secretary Lansing informed Von Bernstorff. Secretary Lansing made It plain that he had overwhelming proof that the Arabic was torpedoed without warning, despite Von Bernstorff s belief that the vessel was not torpedoed, and that Ger many would clear up the question soon. Hold Short Oonf ereaoe. Secretary Lansing and Count Von Bernstorff were in conference for 35 minutes, and. while the American offi cial would not go into details, it was believed that alt probability of a break In relations between the two nations had been dissipated. , Von Bernstorff Is said to have ex plained that recent developments in regard to the' Arabic disaster would show Germany blameless and fix re sponsibllty where it belonged. It is Understood that the German ambassa dor told a fellow diplomat that he ex pected the situation to clear up within the next two or three days. Slver Commanders Instructed, Secretary .Lansing said Von Bern storff would remain In Washington for the present and Indicated that an ex planation was en route from Berlin. Van Bernstorff Is reported to nave said that Teuton divers had been In structed to observe all rules Of Inter national warfare, and that he believed a note to this effect was en route to Washington from Berlin. No Information Available. Berlin, Aug. 26. (I. n. S.)

D Dealing Squarely With the Public What assurance have you after you hav purchased a piano on which a reduc tion of from fifty to one hundred and fifty dollars has been made that you have really bought at the bottom price? How are you to know that the next buyer who happens in will not get an additional twenty-five or fifty dollars reduction? Does it seem reasonable to you that a piano built to sell at three hundred dollars can be sold for one hundred and ninety and leave a legitimate and fair margin of profit for the dealer? Bear in mind this fact no merchant sells his goods at a loss, and the piano1 that is offered at a reduction of one-third to one-half off is a dangerous and unsafe investment at any price. It is built to deceive, sold by dealers whose policy is to charge all the traffic will bear and who do not hesitate to take advantage of the fact that the average buyer is unskilled in piano construction and the quality oi materials. On our floors may be seen pianos that are very low in price; as low, in fact, as good, dependable pianos can possibly be made and sold. They are the product of factories which have established their reputations by the merit and quality of their pianos, and the prices, save for the addition of Eastern freight, are identi cally the same as in New York, Boston or Chicago. No effort is made by our salesmen to convince the buyer that the low-priced piano equals In quality the best, but you will be told and it will be proven to you that, dollar for dollar, your money will buy more real piano quality here than at any other store in the West. . Because we respect the intelligence of the buying public and because we know no other method than to deal fairly, squarely and out - in - the - open, you may rest your case with us with the positive assurance that you will get the best piano pos sible at the price paid. - - .
