..THE SCHOOL BOARD'S
T STATEMENT
HE statement made by the
VL members of the school
board today is a flat re
pudiation of the interpretation
placed by the Tribune on the
board's attitude toward Mr.
Landers and the statement is
creditable to the board.
It would be raw indeed to
have it set up as a precedent
that a school superintendent or
a school teacher in Pendleton
could not follow his own con
science on a moral subject with
out sacrificing his position.
It is extremely unfortunate
the circumstances surrounding
Mr. Landers' resignation were
such as to give the general im
pression he was ousted because
of his prohibition stand. Mr.
Landers believes that was the
cause of his downfall. So do a
host of his friends. The East
Oregonian's local contempor
ary has done much to increase
that impression and spread it
broadcast.
Through this affair Pendle
ton has been placed in an un
enviable light before the world.
The statement made today by
the board helps clarify the sit
uation for it repudiates the no
tion that the board acted from
the motives ascribed by the
Tribune. In effect that state
ment sets up the principle that
a schoolman in Pendleton may
exercise his political rights as
he sees fit without placing his
neck in danger. It is a prin
ciple that should stand as
sacred.
1 EPORTS to The World
from the leading ship
yards of the country
show a tonnage under con
struction nearly three times as
large as a year ago. The more
important yards are employed
to full capacity and new con
tracts are coming forward in
promising volumes. These
yards are chiefly located on the
Atlantic coast. Those on the
Pacific coast and those which
build for lake and river traffic
are poorly employed.
j The great stimulus to Ameri
: can ship construction is thus to
i be found in the war which has
especially affected transatlan
tic tonnage. Large amounts
jhave been destroyed and are
I being destroyed. Still larger
! amounts have been forced into
j idleness by Germany's exclus
ion from the seas. Other large
j amounts have been turned
from mercantile to war uses
by the allied powers. Our ex
port traffic is heavy. Rates
are high. Profits must be al
luring. Europe first gained its as
cendancy in the American ocean-carrying
trade through the
destructive agencies of our
Civil War. Through agencies
similarly affecting European
shipping we should be able to
recover the old ascendency by
going out after it, and we can.
There was no trouble because
,of the high American, cost of
labor or material in the old
days of wooden ships. Why
should there be any more
trouble on the score of labor or
material in these days of steel
and in a country greater than
any other in labor efficiency
and abundance of material?.
The first steps in getting
back on the ocean are the hard
est, but the necessities of war
are forcing them. Like swim
ming, persistence and practice
w ill make the rest compara
tively easy to a nation that was
always at home on the ocean
vntil a short-sighted public
policy subsidized its capital
and enterprise to confine their
activities to landed industry.

THINK IT OVER
school or how well informed
she may be regarding school
affairs.
Since every married woman
is the legal partner of her hus
band and has a legal interest'
in the family property why !
should she not have the right;
to vote in school elections? j
Where is there any propriety,
any justice or any sense in de-j

CURRENT THINKING
eVERY woman whose hus
band is a property owner
has a dower interest in
his property. If he dies or if
there is a divorce .the law
awards her a portion of the es
tate or all of it. If during his
lifetime the husband gives a
deed his wife must sign it to
make it good.
But at school elections in dis

GAMCIA'S BATTI.EFIE1J).
fialicla's great battlefield along the
course of the river San is described
In today's Geographic Society: j
The broken banks of the river San
have taken their place among the
world's greatest battlefields of all
times through the determined Rus
sian investment and capture of Pntem-!
ysl, and more especially through the
recent continuous days of battle be-1
tween the Austro-German armies
headed toward Lemberg. and the Rus-!
sian armies bound for the open plains
of the dual monarchy beyond the
Carpathians. I
On the banks of the San hundreds
of thousands of men have been fight,
ing bitterly back and forth, and the
Utile stream of such slight peace Im
portance as to have escaped notice of
all leading works of English reference
henceforward will live In history's an
nals as long as the memory of the
names of the fields of Waterloo and
Gettysburg. I
The Sijn. a right-bank tributary of
the Vistula river. Is about 300 miles
long. It rises in the East Beskides, 1
flowing first through a very narrow
valley full of wildest mountain scene
ry. The. river becomes navigable at
Prtemysl. i
From the point of this famous Aus
trian stronghold shallow-draft boats
and pole scows carry forest and agri-:
cultural produce to the Vistula. Be-
hind Przemysl the river is a mountain!
stream and one of the most attractive
in northern Europe. 1
About 20 miles north of Przemysl
the San. at Jaroslau, reaches the open
plain. From this point the river
turns more northwest. Joining the Vis
tula on the borders of Galicla and
P.ussian Poland. Between Jaroslau
south, to Przemysl, where the heav
iest fighting of the past week has
been taking place, the country is
rough, often sharply broken at the
river and offering many opportunities
for military defense.
Beyond Przemysl, toward the river's
source, the San zigzags frpm a point
about 30 miles to the west, whence
It comes from the south and south
east. During the spring freshets arid
again during rainy autumn seasons
the lower valley of the San often suf-i
fers from severe floods. The San Is
Joined by a number of small moun
tain tributaries which add to the In
tricate markings of the great battlefield.

Two small boys were having a
somewhat rough struggle, and when
cne received an unexpectedly hard
blow he exclaimed.
"If you don't look out you'll end up
in a place that begins with H and
ends with L!"
A school teacher who was passing
on hearing the remark scolded the
boy severely for what he had said.
"Well." replied the boy, after a
pause, "I'm sure I don't know what
you're talking about. I am talking
about a 'hospital.' '
Count Zeppelin I 111.
BERLIN, June 1$. Count Zeppelin
is ill at his home at Stutgart. It wat
reported he is suffering from bron
chitis and Is confined to his bed.
We were threatened as early as In
the spring by the most highly ap
proved Parisian couturleres that full,
short skirts would nrevail and when
without protest. Were they not a
delightful change from the long, tight
skirt and Just the thing for tailleurs
and dance frocks? And then the Am.
erlcan matron hesitated as an even
ing frock for her debutante daughter,
well and good, but for the dignified
hostess, who demanded a trained re
ception gown never.
As a result, we have the gown Il
lustrated, designed and worn recently
by an American society woman. The
novelty is in the train. When she
desires, the wearer may appear In
training gown with all the dignity
that social etiquette demands, and
when the dance music starts, she
may gently lift the train and indulge
to her heart's content, with all the
comfort of the short but not too vol
uminous skirt.
The gown was of white goldenrod
satin with the skirt scantily gathered
at a slightly high waist line. The
skirt finished In a straight train,
which was looped under at about the
knees, and this gave the extra full
ness. An elaborate garniture of
crystal effect was also worked out on
the sleeves and In the hair and slip
per ornaments, and a handsome string
of pearls completed the attractive
costume.
