Campaigners in
Hospital Drive
Fail to Respond
Seventyifive per cent of the com
mittees who ardently agreed prior to
the campaign to aid in the movement
for $100,000 to construct a Salem Gen-'
eral Hospital have failed to take any
part in the drive at all, with the result
that today failure confronted the pro
ject. This was the substance of the
report made at campaign headquarters
In the Commercial club, as to the pro
gress of the drive. Out of 100 solici
tors who declared they would aid In
the campaign but about 20 have thus
far taken any part.
This caused Campaign Manager Mc
Gilchrist today to declare that assist

Previous to this announcement tor-
ces of extreme radicalism asserted
themselves In various German centers.
There were increasing Spartacan dis
orders and growing talk among the
radicals of the possibility of utilizing
the present disturbed conditions to es
tablish soviet rule.
The list of killed reported from nu
merous German towns and cities in
clashes between demonstrators and
troops mounted Into the hundreds.
There has been no direct confirma
tion of last night's reports of 400 kill

ElK'rt Stands Firm.
Copenhagen, Mar. 16. President
Ebert, head of the German govern
ment driven from Berlin last Satur
day, stands firm in his determination
not to have any relations with the new-
regime at the capital, says a short tele
gram received here from Stuttgart
The telegram says that in the course
of an Interview, President Ebert de
clared:
"I am in complete accord with the
imperial government. We have not so
far deviated from the declarations we
made Friday nlght.as to reply to the
Insurgents' ultimatum. There can be
no question of an understanding with
the perjured enemies of the Germtfh
constitution.
"I replied to a telegram from Gen
to Salem, and further clearly deoiet
ing the fact that outside districts wel
come a greater hospital here, a letter,
with a check for $50, was received at
headquarters today from a widow at
Gen-aii. She wrote that she hoped the
campaign would succeed, and regret
ted that she was unable to make a
greater donation.
A meeting of the hospital board was
scheduled for three o'clock this after-
noon. Matters pertaining to the cam
paign were to be discussed.

Double Killing In
Chicago Revives
Old Labor Fight
By Will Carve
Romance! Mrs. Southworth, E. P.
Roe, Zane Grey and a thousand other
fiction spinners, have trailed much
Ink over valuable paper In efforts to
place romance upon the rickety throne
of second-handed realism. Wa, ysu
and I, and most of us, wait upon their
efforts in breathless suspense and then
rush to the nearest book store or li
brary and spend two or more dollars'
worth of our cash and about thirty
dollars' worth of oW time finding that
we have been handed the same old
pill in p slightly different (haded cap
sule. , ,
And, all the while. Right next
door to us, back of the sealed lips of
that quiet couple, or that elderly
bachelor or that respected (but often
ridiculed) old maid, there may lurk a
story that would serve as a pattern for
some clever weaver such as a DaMau
pausant, a Tolstoi or an O Henry.
So, although devoid of the ultra-sen
sational or over drawn fantasy we
have glimpses at the meeting and the
traditional happy outcome of romance
in the lite ot Hoover and the helpmate,
who has stood by him and worked with
him during a quarter of a century.
, The story will be better told by some
ot the best writers of this country,
Who have spent months in searching
out authentic material for the food ad
ministrator's biography. However, In
this short space can be outlined the
story of the bashful young lad who
arrived at Stanford from Salem.
Bert his Salem friends say, has al
ways like any other normal healthy
lad been attracted to girls. He liked
to be in their company, There are
instances of his being snubbed by tome
of the nice little Salem girls when he
was a youngster here. Because the
lad was not able to wear the "up to
date" clothes of the time, some of the
more clever of the younger set' termed
him a "sissy."
But through all young Hoover's so
called sissyness and slowness there can
be traced the reswve and high regard
tor womanhood that may be well at
tributed to a Quaker training.
When Hoover arrived at Stanford
university, he , brought his "sissifled
and non-sportive" airs along as excess
baggage and during the years devoted
to pursuit of his engineering course
ana to earning Ms own way, these
served him well. For young Hoover
was known as the "chap who goes
alone," although many of his comrades
read mm better by calling him a "one
gin man and prophesying- that
when cupid gets Bert it will be
uooa-oye bachelor days!' "
And so it proved, for toward the end
of his Stanford term he realized that
oupia had gotten Bert" and once d
elded, he took and followed a straight
"l rl
in the case" was a senior of nxcniiant
social standing and of means.
Bert's first step was to ask for the
pleasure of being her escort to one of
tne university city's social functions.
nu perhaps, the lady's rebuff was
Hoovers first stepping stone to suc
cess! for, her reply Is said to have been
"No Indeed! Do you think that I would
5-0 out with a shabby old thing like
you 7 Why the Idea!" or such similar
emphasis as only the gentler (7) set
can employ in expressing a resolute
negative. Just whether Bert attended
that social function. Is not told by the
narrator of this Incident, but It is told
that the couple became comrades and
good friends before Hoover graduate.
Then the graduated engineer went
out and within two years, he had ac
quired the reputation of being one of
ugnem paia young men In the pro
fession, drawing a salary of $lg,0eo'u
year. Then he is said to have asked
his erstwhile friend to be his wife, and
to have received another negative re
ply with the admonition of "Get out
and make real money and acquire a
name for yourself." How Hoover went
to Australia and while employed as a
mining engineer with a large enter
prise he acoiilwhtly discovered a gold
mine is only the genuine prelude to
the sequel "and they lived happy ever
after." That the Australian gold mine
was only a "lead vein" chapter to the
better treasure is proven by the re
malned of the volume. Of how Mrs.
Hoover has continued to work with
her husband In all of his successes; of
her Journeys with him to all pom-, ot
the globe, where'ever his nrofesnlnn
called; of how she endured hardship
