England, May 7. (AP). -.-Former Crown Prince Carol of Rumania who Is on a visit here is ready to take -V-tile political burdens of his lountry. He confirmed tortav the ssuance of bis manifesto which be declared is a complete outline of his policy for the future gov ernment of Rumania and 'repeat ed that he would return to assume the throne and put bis ideas into force at the first call of his peo- pie. The disturbed state of affairs in Rumania, the march of the peas ants of Albajulia, Bucharest and other cities, has stirred the son of the late King Ferdinand into ac tivity. Talking with the Associat ed ?ress correspondent he admit ted that copies of his manifesto had been sent to America some time ago to await word for distri bution which was given Saturday. Friends Here Claimed "I have had no financial assist ance from America1 said Carol, "but I have strong support; there. It is possible that. if my plans fail I shall Tisir America." Ojfhe general question of his position, he went oa to explain; : MMT renunciation: 'Jiw'trpwn . . and-ilr-fofHttr country- were forced upon rae during duress of ' domestic afflictions.

The (Oontinoed on ptfe ) ACTIVITY PERIOD Air HIGH TALKED OBJECTIONS NARROWED DOWN TO ONE AT MEETING Benefit to be Expected Will Prob ably Outweigh, Principal Thinks Objections to the proposed ac tlvity period were aired and thor oughly discussed at the meeting of the senior high school teachers Monday, afternoon, and although no decision was reached it was dis- SI i .V covered that at present there seems to be but one valid objec tion to the change, reports Prin cipal J. C. Nelson. Introduction of the activity -period would mean that all assem blies, class meetings and other meetings which are now scattered throughout the day would be held at a Siren tfTridd each day. set aside for those purposes. When not needed for activities, it would become simply a study period. As now worked out, it would involve tbe following changes: Classes would be called at 8:40 each morning. 20 minutes earlier than at present. Three 60-mlnute ?tTi:r!0Td0wm.t'Tm" ute activity period rorty minutes, msieaa oi met present hour, would be allowed for I ing for three SO-minute periods. Dismissal for the day would be at 3 o'clock, three-quarters ; of an ur earlier than now. This would allow all student nlayJractlces, song work, debate r'r''Jwork-outs and other work which is tf Casually done In the evening to be carried on at the school house in the afternoon. Tbe most serious criticism, the meeting yesterday developed, is ,f that shortening the class period -from an hour to 50 minutes would allow insufficient time to cover " the work in biology. This objec tion does not extend to the physics and chemmry laboratories as a period and a half are allowed for these fifties. . While' Principal Nelson does not think this objection la strong enough to hold the change back, farther investigation of the activ ity period ; program will be made Were the matter is submitted to thT board for action. r - Mr.i Kelson and R.

(Tuesday). (AP) The London Mail today says that the British government has decided to ask Prince Carol of Rumania to leave England. The prince had beeu visiting at a coun try estate in Surrey for the past week. Carol yesterday admitted re sponsibility for a manifesto print ed in London which declared that he awaited only a call from "Ru mania to assume its throne in place of his young son, , King Michael. In an earlier edition the news paper bad said that the British government had warned Carol that he must abstain from intri gue while in this country. Late editions of other London morning newspapers, also said that the British government had decid ed to request Carol to leave the The Mail sava that this decision was reached after a conference be tween officials of the foreign of fice and home office. A Scotland Yard officer was sent to God stone, where the prince was visit ing, but found Carol was attend ing a moving picture performance in London Later, the newspaper says, the assistant commissioner of the metropolitan police, and two other high police officers motored to Godetone. The prince returned at midnight and saw the officers. The Mail quotes the prince as saying afterward that he was sur prised that the government had disapproved of his activities here. The action upon which the Bri tish government has decided, ac cording to the newspapers, would be in accordance with tne usual procedure when a foreigner has used Saglish territory as the cen ter of. intrigues against a friendly government. This is what Carol and hio advisers are accused of do ing by their manifesto.

Lyman Steed, superintendent of the school, with a group of pupils on exhibition to show the various stages of their education. This is a slow process, it was shown, as the children are able to learn only about 150 words the first year, and that is a very limited vocabulary. Yet they show ed remarkable advancement, the first year pupils using short sim ple sentences and the older ones more Involved speech. The artic ulation of some of them was al most perfect.

Declaration CLEVELAND, May 7. ( AP) While wars and rumors of wars make It expedient not to discour age all preparation for national defense, the trend of thought Hamong the nations, particularly those of Europe, is in the direc tion of permanent peace, Sir Esme Howard. British ambassador to the United States, declared to night before the World conference on International justice. Addressing the delegates of the American Peace society under whose auspices the conference is being held this week. Sir Esme ex pressed the opinion that as the powers become more accustomed to the idea that wars belong to a past and barbarous age they will undoubtedly be able to discard their naval and military arma ments entirely. But this will be accomplished little by little, he said. Newspapers Criticized -The British ambassador criti cized the journalists who trv to keep alive interest in the drama of human nature," by constantly predicting wars.

This is thenar am? convinced, one of the principal obstacles In the war of educating men in the ways . of peace." The attitude of the dally press, so far as news values are con cerned inevitably means "flaming headlines" to announce even the remote possibility of a conflict of some kind, whereas if the cause of the trouble Is removed by nego tiations this hardly receives any notice in the back pages, said the speaker. But he hastened to lay the blame for this, not on the press but on some "inherent kink in the brain of humanity." Optimism Voiced "In spite of the journalists who are always predicting wars. he. said, "every year that passes sees an improvement In the European situation. Nowhere In Europe to day is there more Impressive evi dence of a desire for peace than in Germany. But it is well so long as wars and rumors of wars hare not died away, not to discourage all preparation for defense. Can we not hope that as years pass without the recurrence of war between the great powers of Eu rope that inhabitants of that greatly stricken continent may drop thinking all together about war as a means of settling dis putes.

The plane had been engaged in bombing the foreign settlement, the dispatches said. This was the first report of ac tive hostilities between the Jap anese in Shantung, and the north erners, and followed by only three days an offer by the Peking war lord, Chang Tso-lin, to aid' the Japanese in their fighting at Tsin an The offer, summarily refused was received with more or less rigorous protests by the Peking ese, against continued Japanese occupation of Shantung provinces Tsinan itself was said id such reports as penetrated to the but side world, to be comparatively quiet with only desultory kJbting.

ROAD SAID NOT NEEDED S. P. Opposes O. E. Proposed Con struction to Lebanon Construction of a railroad from Albany to Lebanon By the Oregon Electric company would be a waste of funds in that the Southern Pa cific company already has a line connecting the two cities.

The railroad from Albany to Le banon and thence east was pro posed by the Linn County Log ging and Lumber Railway com pany. The Oregon Electric com pany later was substituted for the logging concern. The Southern Pacific company alleged that Its service between Albany and Lebrfon Is adequate to handle all shipments between those two points, and that the con struction of the proposed new rail-roadwouldmeanunwarraneddup-road would mean unwarranted du plication.

This is the most Important is sue now facing the city of Salem, apparently, for it was the one giv en most of the time and attention of the city council last night. The answer to date is that be shall not at least not yet. De spite the fact that Mr. Maxwell had Introduced a petition with signatures verified as representing over SI per cent of the property affected by the proposed sone change, the council saw fit to re fer the matter back to the zoning commission, which had recom mended the change. The reason for this action, it was stated, was that -a remon strance had been filed with the council ' against the change, and that ir was said to contain the names of some of the persons who had signed the petition. That the obstacles now being thrown In the way of opening the barbecue establishment, already constructed, are inspired by raee prejudice, was charged by Coun cilmen Hal Patton and W. W.

Salem suddenly roke into front page prominence .11 over the United States, all be cause of the activties of a partic ilarly lively sophomore class at Willamette university. These boys and girls, as they were at that time, couldn't see why juniors and seniors were en titled to a "flunk day," but soph omores were not. And they pro ceeded to hold one or at least, part of them partly succeeded. Upperclassmen, incensed at the infringement on one of their tra ditional perquisites, immediately took steps to defend their rights. and in a measure they were suc cessful. By the time the faculty got in its work, the sophomores had lit tle but the glory of achievement to comfort them, for in addition to losing certain quality hours for "insubordination," they were pro hibited from holding a flunk day the next year. The battle that raged between the sophomore and upperclassmen on that day was so heated that it broke into print all over the na tion, aided somewhat by the fact that certain newspaper correspon dents did not pepnit the story to lose anything in The telling. The people of Salem who do not keep close track of events at Wil lamette, may not realize it, but those insubordinate sophomores of yesteryear are about to don caps and gowns and march out of chap el to the strains of Paul Irvine's closely guarded song, "Farewell Willamette." And today this is what this story is all about, for thoe who have read it down to this pjint the aforesaid famous class that broke the flunk day tradition, is enjoying its second, and only euthorized, flunk day.
