VETERANS OF SPANISH

TO SUPPRESS I. W, W.
'Governor Galls General White
to Salem for Conference on
Situation in Oregon,
Spanish - American war veterans,
armed with rifles and uniformed, prob
ably will form the backbone of Ore-
- gon's defense to safeguard the state
against depredation of the I. W. W.
Adjutant General George A, White,
who haa just returned from Salem,
where he conferred with Governor
.Withycombe, declared today that the
state soon would be able to put Into
the field a mobile force of trained sol.
dUrs who would be competent to copu
With any emergency.
SitmUf flrapvlylag mads
That the I. W. "W. menace is nation
wide and that the agent of certain
foreign powers are really behind the
plan to foment trouble In the indus
trial ranks of the United States, is
admitted by Governor Withycombe.
-That the leaders of the movement
are supplied with money with which to
carry on their campaign of crippling
Industries is presumed.
' The critical time In the present
economical situation will come after
. the national guardsmen have left
- Oregon to gather at the concentration
camps in accordance with the military
program of the government, it Is said.
In the meantime Governor Withy
combe has anticipated any activities
on the part of the agitators and has
set in motion a systematic plan for
the defense of the state's Industries.
Civil Authorities Cooperate
This plan involves the cooperation
of every sheriff of tbe state. In
structions Issued to those officials
from th governor's office require that
special deputies be sworn In to form
the new basis of the home protection
unit
Reviewing the I. W. W. situation,
Adjutant General White said:
"Oregon will not be found napping
should the agitators attempt to de
stroy property or cripple any of the
Industries of the state. We are now
preparing to meet the Issues which
are expected to arise after the troops
have departed. This defense will rest
mainly upon the shoulders of tho
sheriffs of the several counties, aug
mented by such forces of trained men
as may be required. Plans have al
ready been set in motion for the for
mation of this defensive force.
Government Kay Take Sand
"Realizing the possible seriousness
Of the situation and actuated by the
somewhat alarming reports which have
come from other parts of the country.
Governor Withycombe called me Into
conference at the state capital Thurs
day. In company of a member of my
staff we made the trip from Portland
to Etalem in dke hour and 45 minutes.
Governor Withycombe went into th
case thoroughly and outlined th gen
eral plan of proceedure.
"It Is the purposo of the state gov
ernment to let the local authorities
cope with the problem so far as they
are , able ' to do so. EThould they be
unable to meet the Issues th new
guard Of trained, efficient military
men, will be called into action. In
the vent that the state shall prove
unable to handle the question the fed
eral government will step in.
Close Watch Maintained
"At present w aro merely getting
-la readiness for any eventualities and
keeping close watch on developments.

Theee French soldiers have a peculiar duty. They go Into the captured trenches and "clean them out"
by the simple process of asphyxiating or shooting with a revolver every lagging German who fails
to surrender immediately or who offers any resistance to capture. Not exactly a pleasant duty, but
a necessary one.
It is apparent from past demonstra
tions outside of the state of Oregon
that the plan of the agitators Is to do
all In their power to cripple the indus
trial arm of the nation. The destruc
tion of factories and the devastation
of grain fields and granaries will
likely claim the chief attention of
those linked in the common scheme of
embarrassing th nation.
"Any steps forclblyto detain any of
the agitators must be taken by the
federal government. If there are "bull
pens' to be established In Oregon they
Will be established by the United
States government. Agents of th
government are keeping close tab on
all activities of the agitajtors and will
be prepared to take immediate action
in case of necessity."

Petrograd. July 13. (U. P.) Oer.
many is desperately pouring a new
flood of propaganda into Russia in t
superlative effort to dampen the popu
lar war ardor. The directing point r1""
seems to be Stockholm.
Some of the evidences of this tide
of arguments as gathered today were
German arguments against further
Russian advances on the ground that
the German , minority Socialists had
agreed to every point of th Russian
peace aims, even including Alsace
Lorraine. Agitators, whose previous
activities have given Indication . of
their connection with the German
propaganda system, are spreading
these arguments.
Ken Are Impatient to Tight
Another rumor, apparently trace
able to the same source, was that Ger
many was preparing for peace.
Petrograd continues Jubilant at the
fresh successes achieved in the great
offensive. Troops in other sections of
the front, who have not yet had their
ordera to go forward, are beginning to
exhibit impatience to get atthe enemy.
The Ninety-seventh regiment has
unanimously adopted a resolution t
which 6000 votes were subscribed,
refusing to cultivate the fields, and
concluding:
Telegraph. Speedlag TTp TJrred
'Ve will die in the trenches from
disease waiting for pacifists and rad
ical dreamers in Petrograd .to de
cide whether we advance. We want
to avance Immediately. Let the rifle
te used on those who try to hold us
back. The life of the republic Is at
stake. The only way to save It Is to
advance."
Minister of Posts and Telegraphs
Tseretelli Issued a formal letter to
all telegraph employes today warning
them to "speed np.
"The efficiency of the Russian tele
graph has' fallen down 60 per cent,"
he said. "This is not due entirely
to old apparatus Employes must
remember they have duties as well
as rights. They owe It to Russia to
do all possible, not as little work as
possible."
4t Among th men famous in
history besides Rameses, Shak

Durand W. Springer. According
to written testimony, th pop-
ular secretary of the National

That Engllh is to be the universal
language, and Is now in fact to a
greater extent than any other. Is th
assertion of Harvej a. Wheeler, who
Is her for th N. E. A. convention.
Mr. Wheeler Is Just home from seven
years In Japan, where he went under
the auspices Of the Y. M. C A., and
later spent several years in the mis
sion schools there. When asked If his
work of mastering their language was
not a stupendous undertaking he said
that It was not as difficult as it would
seem, since every school child ia
Japan has taken up the study of Eng
lish, six to eight Hours each week
being given to it, although th Japa
nese have thre alphabets of their
own and also us th Chinese char
actors. Speaking of the war. Mr. Wheeler
said that the chief evidence ot it on
noticed was the presence of S000 Ocr
man prisoners captured at the fall of
Kiaou Chow. These men. he said, were
treated very kindly by the "little
brown men," and made no attempt to
escape, apparently feeling safer in the
"hands of the enemy" than In their
own fighting trenches. Mr. Wheeler's
home is at Eugene.

School Health Is
Subject of a Talk
Horace Kills, state superintendent of
public instruction of Indianapolis, Ind.,
speaking on the subject. "A State Pro
gram for School Health." at th N.
B. A. convention, said:
"First and foremost in any rational
program of reformation, must be a
campaign of education. The popular
mind must be urged to activity, fof
voluntary action Is rarely possible.
In a state program for school health,
this campaign of education must be
insistent, scientific never - ending.
"Then follows the campaign of ac
tion when all the forces of good must
rally for concerted action. The schools,
th civic clubs, the municipal officiary.
the state authorities, must do team
work.
"The third campaign is a campaign
of appreciation. This naturally will
supplement th effort of those mak
ing the campaign of education. By
comparison and by experience, those
who have achieved " are encouraged
by the "well done" of those who have
wrought. Longevity, efficiency, hap
piness. Inevitably follow in the wake
of such a program."
According to a French scientist per

of tiling and more than four times that

Holland Gets Confirmations
"Washington, July IS. (L N. S.)
Holland does not minimis th present
Oerman Internal situation. Advices
reaching th state department today
show that th Oerman censorship Is
still being rigidly enforced. The
meager advices reaching th Dutci
papers, however, confirm th reports
that Chancellor von Bethmann-Holl-weg
has resigned, together with th
members of, his cabinet, but that the
resignation still Is in th hands of
th emperor. Tho lattrs action In
advocating equal suffrage for Prus
sia also is confirmed by the advices,
which add that the kaiser, in a mes
sage to th president of the Prussian
diet, advocates that the suffrage re
forms do Hastened so that an early
lection under them be held.
The state department advices make
it plain that the participation In th
conferences of th crown prince is
very significant. It is viewed to
mean that he has deserted the war
Party. v
