ARM RAINS HAV BEN CUT IN GERMANY IP w London. May 10. (1. X. S.) The ranish newspaper Hlbestlits Tldende claims to have dincovereil ly a month'j lrvestiKatlon that the belief prevails in Germany that it is impossible to continue the war to the end of 1011. Manv In (lerrnany believe t hat It cannot maintained throuRh th suniiner, the paper asserts, and con tinues: t . "The rations of the German soldiers j were cut ix weeks ago. Meat is be- i conilns' rare, bread is limited to 12 j ounces dally and food parcels from j the soldiers' homes are now forbidden ' lest the civilians themselves suffer. ' Socialism Spreading. "Desertions are numerous and 'they include officers. Socialism is spread ing ftmazingly among the troops. Blackness of discipline Is evident, re sulting from tho extren.e.'y harsn treatment. The shortage of horses necessitated the reducing of gun teams; "Ammunition and arms, however, continue to be produced in incrediable quantities." While' numerous Herman papers, copies of which have just reached here, are narplnn upon the food troubles, the K.elnlsihe Zeitung of May 7, asserts that "Germany is able to continue the war indefinitely not withstanding the inconveniences." Wew Stsal Process round. incidentally the paper announces the discovery of a process of making a certain quality of steel for muni tions, for which wolfram, imported at Jjieat cost, heretofore has been neces sary. The paper nays: "No means at the disposal of our enemies can prevent the unexampled elasticity of German organization Iron) being applied to every demand tine war imposes. "A neWproof of thla is presented In the fact that two Rhenish-West-phallan firms have succeeded in pro ducing steel of the highest efficiency for the so-called 'rapid process work' without wolfram. What this means for the munitions industry will be recognized abroad. Oarmana qan Outdo All. "There la no conceivable profligacy of shells which German industry Is not capable of meeting with a still greater output. America can neither with her money nor with her supplies tear open the doors of a German fortress. "Our human, mechanical. and financial resources for attack can stand even a stronger drain, because as 21 months have proved, they are constanly produced afresh. We have nwly organised our capacity for confronting- the emergencies and are adapting ourselves to the circum stances. All this will last until our toes have adapted their attitude to the fact that their game is lost and .will remain lost." n Sitting, left to right Dr. Henry V.

Spriggs, STYLE OF DRESS HELD AT FAULT FOR MORAL STAIN UPON YOUTH (Continued From P Orr) youth of moving pictures, uncensored vaudeville, suggestive advertising, lack of proper sex education and over-fa-mlllarlty 'between the sexes. Sr. Boyd Propounds Question. But it va through a question, pro pounded by Dr. John H. Boyd, pastor of the First Presbyterian church, that the first real stir In the session came. Harry 11. Moore of the Oregon So cial Hygiene society had delivered an address in which he particularly emphasized the harm resulting from perverted, rather than wholesome sex education. particularly received through moving pictures. This was followed by an explana tion of censorship in Portland by Rev. W. G. Eliot Jr., who asserted that while pictures are censored In the city there Is no censorship through out the state and that pictures offi cially refused exhibition in Portland may be sent to any other Oregon town. Then President W. T. Foster of Reed college, chairman of the meeting, said that while there is censorship of mov ing pictures in Portland, and while moving picture managers give evi dence of desire to cooperate in elevation of the pictures, there is no censorship of vaudeville and little de sire to cooperate to be found in vaude ville managers, while vaudeville is much lower in moral tone in Portland than moving pictures. Creations In Gowns Attacked. At this Juncture Or. Boyd inter posed his question. "What effect liiis the modern place of woman to tlu problem of the moral strain upon youth?" he addressed II. H. Moore, lie proceeded : "To my mind modern feminine dress Is far more significant than the mov ing picture show. And not so many people attend vaudeville. But we have woman in a new place. Her natural condition is negative and receptive. She has become aggressive and trained in knowledge of her powers. I his shortening of the dress, this lowering, this exposure, isn't there a meaning In this. Why. it has not been so long since that a dance participated in by the sons and daughters of our friends and neighbors had to be dismissed be fore the hcur for dismissal because those young folks refused to be con trolled. What have we here in this form of feminism. Should we not have an agitation in the home and a sincere and definite cooperation on the part of parents to correct these wrongs?" Another Question Is Added. Rev. J. D. Springston added to the question this: "Do you not thinx that the advertising of the motion picture is more suggestive and harmful than the picture itself?" Moore answered indefinitely but to the general -effect that the conditions described are not so serious a factor as had been Indicated in the lives of young people. Both questioners Intimated person ally that Moore did not answer the question adequately because nc fears to do so. While the main thought of tins morning's sesfiion was that vigorous correctives must be used by educa tors, religious ami social woraers 10 keep youth from harmful, modern in fluences. Dr. W. K. Conklin, professor of psychology in the University of Oregon, struck a contrary note. "The necessity of preaching politi cal and economical sermons," he com plained, "demanding a wide study of the non-spiritual, and the constant demand to be a good mixer, a social reformer and an institutionalizer of his church work, makes it Impossible for the clergyman to cultivate the spiritual qualities of life. To be sure he may be more spiritual than the average man of the world hut he is not enough so to make a very deep Impression. Draws Conclusion From Literature. "In fad. it is getting so Ui.u one can scarcely tell a clergyman from any otfier man. Women to wncm we naturally look next, are, I am airaid, losing something of their spirituality, although here perhaps I am not a capable Judge. Still, the literature of the last few years would indicate that it certainly Is- not improved. And the decline of home life gives them by so much the smaller opportunity to make their spirituality felt. The teaching profession, which had a spiritual an cestry, is now mechanized by method. The saints to be found In the schools are so In spite of, not because of, the machine. "There was a time when we could look to the cloistered life of the college professor for spirituality. But the cloister wall has fallen and the unpro tected professor has surrendered to the demands of the world. The man whi once lived a quiet life of study and meditation and profound Influence must now be practical and up-to-the-minute. The extension idea drags htm from his study and meditation to stump the country with the popular izations of hla science." Preliminary to the arrival of Dr. Foster the morning session was called to order by Rev. W. G. iillot Jr., chairman of the program committee. The devotional exercises were conduct ed by Rev. C. W. Hayes, a Presby terian minister. The program for afternoon, evening and tomorrow s sessions is announced as follows: Tills Afternoon's Session. Public library:, room H. third floor Theme.

Cantine Will Get His Pay for April Stat Engineer Says Only Beason He Didn't Sign Voucher Is Because Dep uty Did Hot Report to Him. Salem, Or., May 10.
