DRAFT ILLITERACY
FIGURES DEPLORED
'ershing Advises Physical
and Civic Training in
Nation's Schools
WASHINGTON, Nov. 16. tin
der leadership of the War Depart
ment representatives ot American
schools, colleges and organizations
dealing with the mental nd phy
sical betterment ot the race, v.-exit
Into conference here today In the
hope that a systematic method of
developing young Americans to
better citizenship could be evolv
ed. As a basis: from -which to
proceed the conference was told
by Secretary Weeks that the war
time draft system showed 50 per
cent ot the men called to be phy
sically sub-normal and disclosed
deplorable percentage of Illit
eracy. .
Fttnees Advocated
Mr. Weeks and General Persh-
ng and Brigadier General Wil
liam Lasslter, addressing the con
ference,- laid stress on the fact
that war experience had demon
strated that a great proportion of
the physical defects disclosed
could be corrected by proper sys
terns of physical training and de
velopment beginning In schools
Mr. Weeks pointed out that good
physical condition among the
children would materially aid in
their mental development and of
such Ideals of citizenship as would
go far to offset waves of popular
unrest and the work of un-Amer
ican agitators.
Draft Figures Startling
Air information gained by the
war department f ronu several
years of study ot draft statistics
in t:onnection with t actual war
experience was laid at the dispos
al of the conference which divid
ed itself into, sub-committees that
will. report at a general session of
the conference Saturday.
Gerferal Lasslter declared that
the-draft had shown that Only one
third of the men who claimed o
be Bkilled in their trades actually
possessed a degree of skill to
warrant a rating ot Journeymen.
To meet the army's need for
technical skill of this character,
he said it was necessary during
the war to give training to ap
proximately 1,250,000 men.
"Our industrial firms are be
coming aware of . the necessity of
definite preparation ot young men
to be skilled workers and some of
them are establishing their own
school .for providing such, train
ing," General Lasslter sair.
Nation Handicapped ;
"It does not appear that there
are any generally accepted speci
fications, aptitude tests or tests
of efficiency to guide schools in
training young men according to
their aptitudes. The lack of such
definite means for the adjustment
of the youth to his task in life, to
the lack of equally well defined
terminology for classifying men
with respect to physique, skill and
knowledge, are among the most
serious causes of delay in mobil
Ixlng for the world war. sx
Suggestions Wanted
General Pershing told the con
ference he believed' the hope of
all think In a- men is that "out of
this conference may come some
suggestion or plads or systems
which can be applied throughout
our public schools, whereby the
lessons ot patriotism and the ob
ligation to the country and those
things that go to make up good
citizenship may be taught effect
ively and which may be adopted
as a general procedure through
out the country."

GOOD HOME
IS OFFERED
TO INDIANS
Mrs. C. S. Fox Offers to Come
to Assistance of Youths
at Chemawa School
Following the appeal in the
Statesman yesterday morning for
tome way to keep some of the Sa
lem Indian school boys in school.
Mrs. C. S. Fox, of route 8, came
with a practical, heldful ' sugges
tion. . ,
Under the general Indian de
partment orders, the boys of 17
years or ever whs have not passed
the seventh grade in school are
to be Sent home usually to where
there are no schools. Superinten
dent Harwood Hall hoped that
some of the good homes of the
Willamette valley might be opened
to some of the boys, where they
could, work for their board and go
to school enough to pass the sev
enth grade, when they could re
turn to the Indian school and re
main until they are 21 years old.
Mrs. Fox, genuinely interested
in helping these lads to a better
citizenship, says that she has lots
of good house room, and that if
dome means can be found of part
ly financing thje living cost, the
Foxes will give the boys a home
and do everything possible to help
them through this year, up to he
seventh grade in school, after
which they are safe.
If some of the civic clubs, or
helping-hand organizations of any
kind, could find room in their
hearts and purses for some ot
these ambitious but out-of-luck
Indian lads who want to learn Am
erican citizenship, they would find
good field tor their endeavors
right here at home.
Hut they'll hare to do it now,
or some of the boys have already
started heart-brokenly for their
homes, and the others will be go
ing very soon.

AFFIRMS STRENGTH
TO ENFORCE LAWS
Socialists and Communists,
Usually Violent and
Noisy, Now Silent
ROME, Nov. 16. (By The As
sociated Press) Benito Musso
lini, In a dramatic first appearance
before parliament as premier to
day announced his foreign and in
ternal policy and warned nls ad
versaries that the Fascist! govern
ment had come to stay. He af
firmed its strength to enforce law
and order against one and all,
even against an illegal coup by
his own followers, and demanded
full powers and full responsibili
ties.
The Fasclstl leader proclaimed
a Dolicy of action, not words He
himself set an example, for he
spoke for only half an hour, and
was frequently applauded and
cheered.
Op posers Silent
. The Socialists and Communists,
numbering 118 who have greeted
every succeeding government with
violent and noisy demonstrations
of opposition, sat in the chamber
today silent and subdued.
; fhe .only ' attempt at ' interrup
tion was made 'by Deputy Modig-
liani. Socialist, . who when Musso
lini threatened dissolution, shout
ed somewhat timidly:
"Long live the parliament!"
The leader Of the fasclstl merely
glared at' him,' while the right and
center sections cheered.
There are many who think that
the premier will force the chamber
to a vote as soon as the minister
of the treasury, Professor Tan-
gorra has developed the details of
the fiscal and bureautic reforms on
the fascist! program.
Premier Cheered
The premier's entrance to the
crowded chamber was hailed with
cheers. The points of his speech
meeting with special approval were
his declaration that he did not
need a majority in parliament, his
tribute to the king, his reference
to the army and insistence upon
order and tranquility in the coun
try.
The premier then went to the
senate and delivered the same
spech, being greeted with no less
nthusiasm-

Personal Appeal for Financ

The money keeps coming In
or rather it keeps on being drag

until at the meeting of the execu
tive board yesterday the members
were able to announce that they
lack only $6000 of enough to com
plete the first unrt.
Work has been carried on inside
the building until the plumbing
and heating and the elevator are
practically finished. The elevator
needs only the installation of the
motor and cage to, make It ready
for service, and the radiator set

of the heating plant. -
Some Faith Necessary
With the money already on
hand, or pledged, the board is
starting in to make the hospital
ready for use. In the expectation
that the small remainder will be
subscribed before It is actually
needed. The board 1b ready to re
ceive the actual cash due on the
subscriptions that are now due.
The money will be needed to pay
the bills as they come along.
Checks for either new or old
subscriptions may be made pay
able to The Salem Hospital, care
Box 344, Salem. Henry W. Meyers,
president, will receipt for the
money.
Final Dollanr is Hope
The urgent need fr such a pub
lie enterprise as this big, modern,
fireproof hospital, where the res
toration of the sick -to health can
be made under conditions that
lessen the risk end shorten the
time of recovery, is believed to be
sufficient ground for a personal
appeal. The hospital board hopes
to see the last dollar of the fund
raised, the" hospital paid for and
set to work, and the city given
adequate hospital accommodations
for every posible emergency.
Appeal Made "Personal
They urge it this way: If it
Were your chljd. or wife, or friend,
that was the over-plus above the
present hospital accommodations
and you had to spend a lot of
money to take the patient to a hos
pital, say. In Portland, and the pa
tient died on -the way when he
would have been saved with a
good hospital right at hand for im
mediate treatment, then it would
be a personal matter. Well, they
say. make it a personal matter
now, and for a little money save
the heavier expense and the an
guish of the I-didif t-know repen

scribed as a landslide as the con
servatives at the same time ot
the dissolution of, , parliament
numbered about 380, it : amounts
almost to-the same thing consid
ering the? peculiar circumstances
of the time and the high hopes
held by the labor and liberal par
ties of the return of. the country
to progressive. views, and It may
be supposed that the conservatives
themselves hardly expected such
favorable results . . ,
George's Friends Many
The downfall of Lloyd George'
Is the outstanding feature ot the
election. The-Coalition Liberals
at the dissolution numbered 129.
They are represented in the new
parliament by only 44 members.
There will be many regrets among
the former premier's admirers -that
he failed to take the advice
o'f his well-wishers and retire
temporarily altogether from the
political stage. ' .
' The ''AsQultataa: Liberals lately
improved their ' position, rtstnc
from 34 Iff the old parliament to -
da'aa ti thv mmf1.: On
the ether hand,' Labor, although
It failed' to fulfill the high hopes
the party entertained at the disso
lution, has done exceedingly well, ,
rising from 76 to 136 seat. It
lei 'vmaroilw KaMavAfl a , T Va
would hare done tar, better but '
for the tactical mistake In the
advocacy of a capital levy.
Labor Second Strongest
While the. strength of conser
vatism in the country ls.a matter '
of surprise, perhaps the keynote
of the elections is the decline of
liberalism and the growth of the
labor party. This seems to show
that henceforth the struggle will
be between the conservatives
and thn lahnr nurtv.
The position is that labor is
the second strongest party In the
house and In what; looks as the.
improbable event of the present
government suffering defeat, la,
parliament. It would be o . the .
labor party that the king would
naturally turn for a new premier.
Women Voter Many
Another striking feature of the
elections is that the women voters;
have taken an unexpectedly strong
interest in the struggle, their par
ticipation probably accounting'
more than anything else for the
exceedingly " heavy polling. . But.
however, keen their Interest la po
litical life, thy do not appear to be
in the mood to elect women to
parliament, only Lady Astor and
Mrs. Wlntrlngham, already In the
house, being returned. There have
been many noteworthy casualties
mong all the parties, the most
striking perhaps being the defeat
of Arthur Henderson, labor leader
and Winston Churchill, former co
lonial secretary and the overthrow
of five members of the new admin
istration for whom safe seats will
somehow have to be found.
The defeats of '.'.Mr. Churchill, :
Sir Hamer .Greenwood, former'
chief secretary for Ireland 'and
Frederick O. Kellaway, former
postmaster general, were severe
blows to Mr. Lloyd Gorge whom
however, had the satisfaction of
seeing his son returned by a big
majority. "while both his secretar
ies, Sir Edward M. Grigg and O.
H. Shakes jeare, were elected.
Mr. Lloyd George said tonlht
that he was "quite satisfied," with
the results, but declined to be In
terviewed, Mr. Ssquith declined to
express any oplnioa on the results
now. . ;0
Labor Satlstled
The labor party Issued a mani
festo stating that they rind "abun
dant reasons for satisfaction" In
these successes and their gains at
the expense of both liberalism
and conservatism,-. and . declared
that their party will constitute the
most vigorous and efficient oppo
sition that the bouse ot commons
