Pledging to devote every effort
possible to aiding this country In the
war by giving patriotic: support and
following plans outlined for food con
servation, tho Joint teachers' insti
tute completed lis work yesterday
afternoon by adopting a set of eight
resolutions. One of the biggest
thlii'gs accomplished this year was
tha bringing before the Instructors
practical methods by which they can
assist in carrying on their share of
the war. Kncouraging the produc
tion of food products through the
organization of Industrial clubs and
teaching food and clothing conserva
tion are two of the main ways rec
ommended. Wunt TeucliiTu' Pension".
Another thing advocated was the
pensioning of teachers. Changes In
the free school book law were also
suggested. It is desired that the
cost should be greatly reduced from
tho present unrestricted terms.
Slate Superintendent of Education
J. A. Churchill gave one of the clos
ing addresses at the Institute. He
spoke on the Importance of the stu
dents aiding In the war and the op
portunity given the teachers for In
stilling patriotism into their charges.
Link KluillcM With War.
"Practically every subject in the
school course could be correlated with
tho war," he said. "History and
civics could be linked with it, and
food conservation may be 'brought
Into the study of arithmetic. Agri
culture clubs will work in with bot
any." The speaker spoke briefly and to
the point; every statement he made
was a convincing one. "At one time
wo saw fit to offer students who left
school and enlisted their full credits
for the year," he went on. "Now it
looks as though they can serve their
country better by staying in school.
The wroikg ones in many
cases took advantage of our
ruling last spring and left school
to evade poor grades. If they remain
In their classes they can give much
assistance with gardening and raising
pigs, sheep and animals of food value.

Premier Says They Mast Decide Upoa
Own Rulers Only Way Out of
War to IK-atroy German Mil
itary Power For All Time.
(By United PreM to The Bend Bulletin.)
LONDON, Dec. 20. England'
war aims rest primarily on the neces
sity that the allies bare security from
Germany for world peace in the fu
ture. This is what Lloyd George told
the House of Commons this afternoon
in his long-expected statement of the
objects of that country's participa
tion in the present strife.
The only way in which this may ba
obtained, according to the premier,
is through the destruction of Ger
many's military power and by the
democratization of the enemy's conn
try. Must Consider Colonies.
"The wishes, desires and interests
of the German colonies must be dom
inant factors in the settlement ot
their future means ot government.
This question regarding the handling
of the colonies is one which should
be decided only at an International
peace conference," he said.
"Mesapotamia and Armenia should
never be returned to Teutonic or
Turkish rule. Future trustees of tha
colonies must consider whether tho
colonists desire to return to their
former masters."
To Call More Men.
Restoration and compensation for
territories taken must be demanded,
he advised. Lloyd George said that
the British losses have not equalled
one-fourth of those Germany has suf
fered. He also stated It would be
necessary now to call many men for
service in the army, who have been
exempted up to the present.
Throughout the speech the pre
mier's sentiments coincided with
those ot President Wilson, expressed
In his famous address before Con
gress. Imports Increase.
He told the Commons that the
submarine sinkings axe increasing
yet, although British tonnage has
been reduced 20 per cent in 1917.
this year's imports surpass those ot
the previous season.
The Palestine successes he also
mentioned, saying that they would
have a great effect on the history ot
the world. The entry ot America la
