OREGON Play were prepafed by priests and monkt from the Ettal monastery and repeated revisions haver been made by the clergy In the past 300 years to adapt the produc tion to changed conditions and Improve Its literary character. Fa ther Josep Alois Datsenberger Is chiefly responsible for the text which has been used now for many decades, and which the re cently deceased priest, Father Schroeder, protected against ef forts of many scholars who Bought to interweave it with modern ideas which appealed neither to the Oberamniergau- actors nor their devoted priest. Much Competition Commercial producers in sev eral other German cities are of fering religious plays which they advertise in such a way as to give the. impression that they really are the Oberammergau Passion Play. One production which la being given this year openly an nounces that It uses an old Ober ammergau text. Motion p'ctur-? theaters are also offering to-called Oberammergau films. These productions are extreme, ly distasteful to the Oberammer gau peasants, who have never produced th Passion Play outside of their own village and have never allowed their productions to be filmed. Public Is Warned William Rutz, the burgomas ter of Oberammergau, haa just issued a statement warning the public agalnFt imitations of the play' which ths Oberammergau peasants have given every to years for three centuries in fui filing of their ancestral vow to do so in expression of their grati tude to -God for deliverance or the village from the plague. GERMANY SIGNS THE TREATY OF PEACE (Continued from page 1.) Turkey, Bulgaria, or Shantung, or to' the establishment of an inter national labor organization. Advantages Preserved In a state department statement issued to announce the signature FALL They could not give Shoes Don't Fail to Attend The Special Demonstration of S tylish Sveltline Corsets Now Going on in Our CORSET DEPARTMENT Have the Expert; Mrs. Alice Hoops, Fit You to One of These Very Excellent Corsets. It Will Effect a Pleasing Slenderization of Your Form Lines Regardless of Your Size or Weight Saturday is the last day of this demonstration of the treaty, special mention was made of the reaffirmation of this government's share in the re nounced German overseas posses-' sions, the statement declaring that . this provision "confirms the rights j of the United States with respect to Yap and other former German overseas possessions upon an equality with the other powers." The department's statement re viewed the treaty in detail, em phasizing that any advantage which might have been gained by ratification of the treaty of Ver sailles is fully preserved under the present instrument. Diplomatic Relations Soon Regarding such further settle ments as may be necessary be tween the two nations, the state ment said: tl is understood that diplomatic relations will be resumed upon the exchange of ratifications of the treaty and then negotiations can be undertaken with respect to commerce and other . matters through the ordinary diplomatic channels." United State Independent Administration officials are un derstood to feel, however, that commercial questions between the United States and German are as fully covered as seems necessary for the present by the reaffirma tion of the financial and economic clauses of the Versailles treaty. In that connection there is a pro vision in the treaty reaffirming the present attitude of this gov ernment toward the reparation commisison; by declaring that the United States reserved the right to participate in the commission's deliberations, but would not be ! bound to any such participation except by its own decision. Signing Without Pomp BERLIN. Aug. 2 r. Pomp and oratory played no part in today's signing of the peace treaty. Sim plicity surrounded the ceremony, which consumed less than 15 min utes. Mr. Dresel was accompan ied by three aides. Counsellor Wil son and Secretaries Pennoyer and Amory, while Under Forein Sec retary Haniei von Haimhausen and three foreign office depart ment chiefs made up Herr Rosen 3 ret'nue. American newspaper men who were In the corridor were not per mitted to witness the signing. Af terwards Mr. Dresel said: "The Germans wanted the trea ty consummated with as little pomp and ceremony as possible and this waj perfectly agreeable to us." Two Copies Prepared When the plenipotentiaries had signed the document they ex changed a tew chosen phrases of obvious import and the American commissioner and his aides bow ed their way out of the foreign minister's office. There were two copies of the treaty, one in Eng lish and the other in German. An official communication is sued this evening says the pren ent treaty is the result of negotia tions begun at the initiative of the United States commencing in Ju ly, and that in the course of ne gotiations the American eovern mnt was wholly bound to the congressional peace resolution. i Dresel Soon to Return ; The American commirs! ner permitted th9 inference that he got along comfortably with the of ficials in Wllbelmstrasse. Ke wag frank to say he was glad the lob was over and t&at the supplemen tary commercial treaty and the dispositfon of complex economic issues awaiting adjustment were to be' left to the Washington gov ernment and the new German ambassador to the United States. The American commission, such, is not entitled to fly the Stars and Stripes from its office, despite the peace treaty, as it has not yet been converted into an embassy. ' Mr. Dresel expects to return to the United State as soon as he is relieved by a regular diplomat. STORM BREAKS IN TELEPHONE HEARING (Continued from page 1.) place when girl telephone oper ators from Portland were testify ing about two weeks ago. At that time Major Babcock brought into the rehearing room a black board and was about to ask one of the girls to make certain dem onstrations applicable to switch boards, his purpose 'being to bring out testimony to show that the company's equipment is obso lete when' objection was made Stout System Satisfaction Guaranteed Or Your Money Back Phone 877 SETS FACE FOR WOMEN IN HER DA r, i i t t ... . j. . i j x . ... .s. iar?i -vy.TT;!-", rs : I - - . i , -.

She has been termed the aerial "tomboy" and the "most daring girl in the world." that such a demonstration could not be made without the actual equipment. The commission promised that such a demonstra tion would be witnessed in some of the Portland exchanges, and on that promise Major Babcock and Attorney Tomlinson agreed to drop the proposed demonstra tion with the blackboard. Authority Limited. When the commission's ruling was made yesterday Commission er Cory said he did not interpret the utility act as giving the com piission power to designate any certain kind of equipment apd that authority was limited to the rate question and the demanding of adequate service. Attorneys Tomlinson said he interpreted the act as giving the commission au thority to judge whether equii ment is economical or expensive. E. M. Cousin requested the commission, when it visits the Portland exchanges, also to view conditions at Linnton, Oswego and Milwaukie. He 6ald transporta tion would be furnished. " Personalities Indulged Im i ; Other pyrotechnics took place earlier in the afternoon that re solved themselves Into acrid per sonalities. This started when Tomlinson presented an exhibit, the purpose of which was to com bat 'the showing of various ser vices which it la claimed the Am erican Telephone & Telegraph company extends to the Paeltn company in return lor a tribute payment of 4 y per cent. Tom linson said he had written the American company for informa tion of this character and had received aa evasive reply. Some of it, however, he said was usable, and he began to enumerate per tain items. One of these, he said. was a direct charge lor a voice amplifier installed at the Port land Rose festival last June. False. Declares Slunv. "At the time," said Tomlin son. it was understooa through out the state that no charge was being made for this device.", Attorney Shaw of the telephone company accused Tomlinson of falsifying, "lie has resorted' to hot air blast tactics," declared Shaw. Tomlinson made a similar charge relative to the services of the company at the Democratic national convention at San Fran cisco. "The Oregon plan; of the Pa cific company did not pay a red cent to bring the amplifier to Portland or for arranging for the public address system at San Francisco. and you know it." shouted Shaw. "This is too raw for me to stand for and you can not get away with it. You have misrepresented the exhibit al! through your line of talk and it seems to me you should have some regard for the truth " MoXary Makes Objection. Attorney McXary objected fur ther to Tomlinson's pointing out Ihe several items, declaring that the volume would stand for it fcelf. In response to an admonition from Chairman Williams to be brief. Mr. Tomlinson cnt his re marks short and the book was received in evidence. E. C. Willard, Portland engi neer, was called by Tomlinson in rebuttal and he analyzed several exhibits relating to comparative prices of telephone equipment de manded by the Western Electric company and independent com panies. Because of the power ful purchasing ability of the Am erican Telephone & Telegraph company, Willard contended that it could buy more cheaply from the independent companies than from the Western Electric com pany. More Words Flnng. While Willard was commenting on certain exhibits dealing with wage conditions, Mr. Shaw then asked: ( ''Was not this exhibit introrti.' ed to Ftrcngthen Mr. Tomlinson's intimation that it might be ne cessary to reduce the Wages of tho telephone operators to bring about lower rates?" Tomlinson cut fff Wi'lard's rg- record and become informed of the truth. "Mr .Tomlinson, you stand be fore the people of Oregon accused of trying lo reduce wages," re torted Shaw. To Willard he re marked that "your exhibit is an engineering absurdity." Whether the r-acific Telephone & Telegraph company had askel the iublic. service commission for a .rate big enough to yield a rea sonable return at Astoria not only at the present, time but on a fu ture rate base" of $289,250 was the question to which City Attor ney James Mott of Astoria en deavored tc make C. . Kleager, plant engineer of the telephone company, admit an affirmative answer yesterday forenoon. Flea ger and Mott see-sawed cn the issue over a long period of time and Mott finally contended that Fleager had made an affirmative answer. It was thought Fleager would btj on the stand only a few mth utes yestreday. At the conclu sion of Mott's' cross-examination, however, E M. Cousin asked the privilege of putting one more question to theh witness and shot several at him before he was halt ed by an objection of Attorney McNary, who contended that the same matter had been gone over previously. "He asked tho privilege of ask ing one further question," said McaNry, "and now he has launch ed into a whole new cross-examination that will consume much time." "We adjourned at a quarter to five Tuesday evening because you said you' were through." Chair man Williams said to "Cousin. Then Mr. Mott asked for half an hour additional yesterday. We gave it to him. but he didn't fin ish and he has taken up r3 min utes in addition today. We are starting to run relays again." Cousin agreed to stop. Later he asked the commission to rule that the remainder of the hearing be directed to the order of the com mission that increased the tele phone rate last March. "You should have made that very effort five weeks ago," said Commissioner Cory. "I did that at the very outset." replied Cousin. AMERICANIZATION IS COMMITTEE'S PURPOSE (Continued from page J.) that Oregon was the only state in ihe union that required all of its hish school graduates to have had one year of -American history and Civics. The "state board of educa tion is now notifying the princi pals of the various high schools throughout the state that hence forth riiics will take the place of English history in the third year of the nigh school and that Amer ican history will extend through out the entire fourth year. This means, that hereafter no boy or girl may be graduated from standard four-year high school who has not had in his course two vears of American history and civics. "It is believed that a committee such as I am selecting may have a state-wide influence for much good in the direction of the devel opment of our citizenship. At least I trust so and at an early meeting which I expect to call we hope to outline nlans for future organiza tion and for carrying on the work."
