V TIIE OREGON STATES5IAIT: FRIDAY, MARCH PARIS IS SOBERED BY GREAT WAR PRESIDENT DONEY SAYS IN -LETTER 1 r This war is wholly different from gsj other; disease, vice, hunger, etc., almost eliminated, and the only danger is in the front lines," writes pr. Carl Gregg Doney, president of IfUlamette university, in a letter to Q,e students. Dr. Doney is in France to study the work of the Y. M. c. A., la the war ton. Speaking of life in Paris, Dr. Do ney says tfte Moulin Rouge, the Itat Hort, the Chat Noir and other no torious resorts are-closed, and that the city is different in many respects from the Paris of ante war dij. "It .would seem that the war Is luting' a. good "effect," writes Presi dent Doney. "Indeed, it la serving to sober a good many people who vere going wild." Dr. Doney writes: kit la a month since I 3al-m X- v - : - - 'Jth most of- the days have becn crowded with experiences both old tad new.

The War Work Council uses a very large building and has overflowed into other groups of of fices in other buildings. Thoy have several warehouses and stores which serve ' them exclusively, and the amount of their merchandise .busi ness is enormous. The war depart ment has all but taken over the Y, M. C. A. It has given It a military character and, when one dons the Red Triangle uniform, he become largely subject to military control. 3Lany Would Help. I was told that the War Work Council has 15,000 applications from men and women who wish to join their service. Utmost care is usedn selecting the workers and a remark ably efficient company is the resutc In the group of 140 of which I was a member, there wore professors from Harvard, Columbia, Princeton, Lawrence, Idaho, Lehigh and other colleges; noted ministers and lectur ers; authors, bankers, business men, several chauffeurs and twelve wom en. Most of them are donating their services and some even pay their ex penses. SailineJJelayctl.

Di plomas and degrees were bestowed on all Red Triangle people and sou;e unique honorary degrees were award ed certain loaders of the party. Thf president of te Ralston Food Cor poration was made a D. Sc., Doctor or Sawdust Concoctions, and a Princeton professor of Internationa! Law become a Doctor of Internation al Piffle.

As the ship approached the "dan ger zone" it was observed that the air in the cabins became foul and hot and, therefore, the only healthful place for sleeping was on deck. There one could see brave men stretched n steamer chairs with a life belt near at hand or one found them walking the promenade with the life preserve strapped around them They Inter viewed the captain about convoys and made calculations about their chances of safety. He was a poor creature who did not see a periscope, the wake of a torpedo or a floating mine. Here Is an opportunity for an interesting study in psychology. Found Friend In Paris. We landed nearly in the evening amid the cheers of French and Amer icans. I. Immediately met "Dusty' Rhodes and Mr. Elvin and by five minutes missed seeing Mr. Randall and Mr. Attebery. I am, however, to return to that city in three days and expect there to meet several of the Willamette boys. I was told that all of tbem are in excellent health and well maintaining the Willamette. spiilt. , French Capital Changed. I have been in Paris a week hoM ing conferences with the leaders and receiving instructions. Last night I gave an address at the Y. M. C4A. Club Hotel Pacilion to 300 American soldiers who are spending their rest period here. This hotel has been taken over by the Y. M. C. A. for the purpose of providing wnolesome ac commodations for army men in Paris and is truly a blessing to them. At this place one finds A'mericans from everywhere, men Just from'the front, men just going out, men who have just landed. It is one of the mort Interesting places In the world and there is no other like It. (irectingM to Willamette. To give my "Impressions of Tarts would require too much space and will be postponed. : And for the same reason I shall not speak of the Red Triangle work in detail. My own plans are to speak again here nex. Sunday then go to an American camp for three weeks, giving an address in a different hut each night. At the conclusion of that Itinerary, I am to' visit a French camp for three weeks to get Borne notion or the poilu's thoughts and ways and then I shall go to other American camps, speak Ing and trying to tell the boys some thing of what they may expect wh.n tbey mingle with the French poldler. There is a strong effort being made to have the Franco-American rar proachment Intelligent and vital, It cannot fall to give rise to some eyiU unless there is an element of eym pathetic understanding, andtl count myself fortunate in naving'a part In a work so essential. Fimfct Great Joy In the Work, My very best regards go to every professor, student and friend of "Old Willamette." I trust the student campaign is on and will so continu as to insure a record enrollment next fall. France is wonderfully heartened by the presence of the Americans and the Americans are delighted with the spirit of the French. Someone says that France, If at tack on western front, is ten times as strong to repulse It as she vas when Verdun was when assaulted two years ago. We count ourscIrs as fortunate to be fcere at this time. It is a time of decision, many think, and if we can have a helpful part in it we shall be glad. The whole op portunity and privilege seem to be opening to my mind in an amazing way. ;IIowever I am sure that I am still on the edga of things.- Thef ? is regret and joy, a confusion of feel ing. But it is wholesome and I think one cannot be here without experi encing a reaction which will larg-ly remake him. Change Am for the Ketter. Paris is different.in many respects.

Governor Frazier said: "If there ever was a time when waste should be eliminated that time is now. The government has insti tuted changes in onr system of dis tribution to eliminate waste. - The question is whether these .changes should be continued after the war. This is the time w.ien rou should organize to protect yourselves against big monopolists." President Townley said he had delivered his message "several thou sand times." and asserted he had been lied about by the press of the country, adding that "all that is nec essary to gain political contrpl of a state Is the truth, a small automo bile and $16." "At the convention here last Sep tember the farmers of the northwest pledged their loyalty to the govern ment," he continued. "The farmers did then and do now stand behind the administration. We now, call up on the steel trust and the beef trust and tht- flour trust and all those multr-millionafres who are reaping profits out of the war to stand be hind the president. Of course they are standing behind him but they are standing too far behind him." In x telegram to President Wilson, sent by the convention and signed by A. C. Townley. president, the representatives of the farmers- of Minnesota, affiliated with the Na tional Non-Partlsan league, endors ed the president's statement of war aims and unequivocally pledged united support nntil those aims were accomplished and a lasting and dem ocratic peace is assured. The tele gram concluded as follows: "Do not be misinformed by poli ticians.' The farmers of the north west cheerfully acquiesce In your decision, fixing the price of wheat on the basis of the 1917 crop only asking In return that congress enact legislation which will enable you to carry out yoiir price fixing program so that other commodities mar be dealt with upon a like basis and the people relieved of the extortlanate profiteering that still largely ct tributes to the burdensome cost of living.
