the method was Immediately effective.

by the following testimony gathered
by the committee on public infor

against the German troops by any per

Germany, who nlgned the conventions
of the necoud peace conference nt The
Hague, 1WI7, pledged themaelvvN to the
following:
"Article I.. No general pennlty, pc
cunliiry or otherwlne, nhall be Inlllcted
upon the population on account of the
ucta of ImllvldunlN for which they enn-
'" regarded iin Jointly uud neverul
ly responsible
"Article MI. Hequlnltlons In kind
and services shall not be demanded
from municipalities or Inhabitants ex
cept for the needs of the army of oc
cupation. They shall be In proportion
to the resources of the country, and of
such a nature as not to Involve the In
habitants In the obligation of taking
part In military operations against
their own country."
The German authorities have violat
ed these articles from the very begin
ning. As soon us they Invaded Kcl
glum, heavy Hues were laid upon Indi
vidual communities as reprisals for
some act against the Gorman army or
Its regulations which was committed
within their boundaries. In "An Ap
peal to Truth" Cardinal Mercler cites
tiie following cases:
"Mnllnes, a working-class town,
without resources, has had n fine uf
10,000 marts Inflicted on It because
the burgomnster did not Inform the
mllltnry authority of a Journey which
the curdlnal, deprlvei of the use of bis
motorcar, hml been obliged to make
on foot. In fuel, ujMin the lllmslest
pretexts heavy Hues are Inlllcted on
communes. The commune of Puers
was subjected to a tine of 11,000 marks
because u telegraph wire wus broken,
although the Inquiry showed that It
hud given wuy through wear."
Merclleaa Exactions.
In addition to such arbitrary,
aNirnlk' exactions, In December, 1014,
the Germans dcmuudcU -10,000,000
francs $S.OO0,00O), a mouth to bo
paid by the llelglan provinces Jointly.
Concerning this enormous Imposition
Cardinal Mercler says, In thu "Appeal
to Truth :"
"Now, In December, 1011, llelglum
was devastated. Contributions of war
lniMistl ou the towns and Innumerable
requisitions In kind had exhausted her.
Thu greater part of the factories were
Idle, and In those which were still at
work, raw materials were, contrary to
all law, being freely comiuundeered.
"It was on this Impoverished llel
glum, living ou foreign charity, that u
contribution of nearly fiOO.OOO.OOO
francs was lmssed.''
The German mllltnry rules have also
made the families responsible for acts
committed by or charged against mem
bers as Is shown In the following ex
amples, which are quoted from tho
"Appeal to Truth, cited above:
"The llelglan government have sent
orders to rejoin tho army to the mi
litiamen of several el iim. ex. . . . All
those who receive these orders are
strictly forbidden to act upon them.
, . , In case of disobedience the
family of the militiaman will be held
equally responsible,"
Punishment "Without Mercy."
The commander In chief of thu Ger
man army In llelglum posted a procla
mation declaring:
"Tho villages where acts of hostility
f.hall be committed by the Inhabitants
against our troops will be burned.
"For all destruction of roads, rail
ways, bridges, etc., the villages In thu
neighborhood of the destruction will
be held responsible
"Tho punishments' announced nbovu
will be carried out severely ami with
out mercy. The whole cotumumty
will be held responsible. Hostages
will bo taken In largo numbers. The
heaviest war tuxes will bo levied."
At tho end of tho "Appeal to Truth"
Cardinal Mercler says:
"Hut wo cannot say all here, nor
quoto all,
"If, however, our readers wish for
tho proof of tho accusations , . ,
wo shall bo glad to furnish them.
Thero Is not In our letter, nor In tho

achool teacher In Oregon Is asked by
the Kovcrnment to volunteer Immoil! -
atoly for urgent and Important work
In tho execution of tho selective ser-
' vice law In this state.
Tho same call Is being made of
teachors In evory state. 80 urgent Is
the need of their assistance that Pres
ident Wilson himself has addressed
a letter to all teachers asking them
,to give their Borvlcca for tho very
Important work required. This work
1 Is to help local draft boards compile
' Immediately a complete card index
.showing tho special qualifications of
jOvory man they have classified under
tho draft law. This Information must
bo had by tho government at once,
because calls for men specially qual
ified for certain duties aro received
from tho army every day. Local!
boards aro too busy making classifi
cations to do the work.
Teachers Hcst Killed.
Tho persons best fitted of all oth
ers to perform this patriotic task aro
tho school teachers, and they are now
asked to volunteer their services to
their respective local boards. Tho
work will not bo hard or exacting.
No teacher will bo asked to give more
than a few hours for a few days. Hut
speed and accuracy nro required. The
questionnaire of every man who has I
boen classified must be examined and
information as to his qualifications
for special duties transcribed on a
prepared card.

can bo called out by consultation of
tho Index.
Evory teacher In Oregon who will
volunteer to help In this work should
present himself or herself Immedi
ately to his or her local board.
Makes Pcrxonal Request.
The President's letter reads as fol
lows: To all teachers: The success of
tho selective service system has been
largely duo to tho rellanco that has
been placed on tho cooperation of all
citizens In Its execution. In the reg
istration, tho election ottlcors ot the
several states were called upon to
perform a specific task, and they per
formed It unanimously and efficient
ly. Latterly. I have had occasion to
call tho lawyers and tho physicians
of tho country to specific duties and
they have responded In a solid rank.
Tho tlmo has now como when tho I
teachers of tho country can perform !
u very necessary wsk aim i nave no
doubt that they will respond in the
samo manner.
The process of classification of all
men within the field ot selection Is
proceeding rapidly. It becomes neces
sary to carry forward with this pro
cess, tho making of a vory complete
index which shall accurately locate
any specially qualified man among
tho ten millions on our enrollment
lists. Tho local boards aro so over
burdened with tho work of classifica
tion that this task cannot be put upon
them, and yet tho necessities ot the
nation rcqulro that It bo performed
with tho greatest possible dispatch
and accuracy. This duty can bo per
formed best by tho teachers of tho
various communities. Under author
ity conferred upon mo by tho selec
tive sorvico law I thoreforo call upon
nil teachers to present themselves to
to tho local boards having Jurisdic
tion ovor tho areas in which they
rosldo, for tho purposo of examining
tho questionnaires and filling out tho
Indox cards In accordance with more
specific instructions to bo issuod by
