Following the meeting of the cabi net Saturday the fact was allowed to become public that President Wilson had decided not to send troops into Mexico, but would depend on General Carranza to punish the murderers of the Americana killed at Santa Ysabel, Chihuahua, and to aid that Mexican leader in every proper way to establish peace and' order throughout the neigh boring country. This policy is by no means satisfac tory to the great majority of the mem bers of the senate and house. There is a rising sentiment for intervention, which the President is earnestly en deavoring to check. He is urging and pleading that he be permitted to con tinue to handle the situation in his own way, promising the results will be satisfactory to congress and the country. He is dwelling on the assurances he has received from General Carranza that the assassins are being actively pursued and when captured will re ceive condign punishment and that Btrong patrols have been established along the railway to guard against outrages similar to that which occur red at Santa Ysabel. Through members of his cabinet, Senator Stone, chairman of the senate foreign relations committee; Repre sentative Flood, chairman of the house foreign affairs committee, and others, he is applying pressure to senators and representatives for the purpose of in ducing them to refrain from putting through a resolution which would force him to put troops in Mexico. Thus far the President's efforts have not met with any noteworthy success, Doubtless, In the end, he will be tri umphant, but the feeling in both bod ies, particularly the senate, is ngly. The debate in the senate Saturday, for example, developed the moat insistent demand yet heard for immediate ac tion. Nobody seemed to give any weight to the Carranza assurances that the brigands would be captured and punished. Nobody paid any attention to the official report that Generals Al meida and Rodriguez had been arrest ed and shot at Madera. It was ap parently assumed that the men had not participated in the Santa Ysabel as sassination, and, even if they had done so, it is doubtful if the temper of the senate would have been sensibly modi fied. - - Germans to Take Reprisals on British as Retaliatory Measure Berlin, by wireless to Sayville The German government has transmitted to Great Britain, through the Ameri can embassy, a note which declared that, as a result of Great Britain's failure to fulfill Germany's demand for an explanation of the circumstances surrounding the sinking of a German submarine by the British patrol boat Baralong, Germany will adopt suitable measures of reprisal. Germany first made demands several weeks ago through the United States embassies at Berlin and London on the British government for punishment of the captain and crew of the patrol boat Baralong as murderers for the alleged killing of the commander and 10 mem bers of the crew of a German submar ine after the submarine had been sunk by the Baralong, which surprised the underwater craft while it was making an attack on the British mule steamer Nicoaian.

Allies Land Troops Near Capital of Greece to force Country's Hand Berlin Berlin newspapers, accord ing to the Overseas News agency, ex press the belief that the landing of allied troops at Phaleron, five miles southeast of Athens, is considered as supplying proof that the entente pow ers intend using extreme means to force the hand of Greece. I The news agency says that according to prevalent reports, the Greek gov ernment has transferred part of the state archives to LariBsa, in North western Greece, where, eventually, the Greek government likewise will be transferred. - Berlin newspapers, commenting on the latest news regarding Greece, unite in stating that the entente seems to have abandoned all regard for Greek neutrality and sovereignty. The land ing at Phaleron is regarded as proof that the entente is now going to use extreme means for forcing Greece into the war. Liquor Seized in Prohibition Raid on Fashionable Seattle Resort Seattle The Rainier club, the prin cipal club in Seattle, was raided late Tuesday by deputy sheriffs who confis cated 400 quarts of whiBky, cham pagne, gin and other intoxicants. The raid was made under direction of Sher iff Robert P. T. Hodge, who obtained a search warrant authorizing his dep uties to enter every room in the large clubhouse at Fourth avenue and Mar ion street. None of the liquor was found in the old barroom or in the club's storeroom in the basement. Most Of it was found in a trunk hidden in a locked linen closet on the fourth floor. The house manager said that he had no key to the closet and the officers forced open the door. Other seizures were made in mem bers' rooms, where more than the stat utory allowance of two quarts of spirituous or 12 quarts of malt liquor was found. The property of members having less than these amounts was not disturbed. Tireless. Man at rlnrtr-t'rl Ulra tn iaa tliA meter.

San Francisco Investigation of rates, service and labor conditions of the Pullman company in California waa dropped by the Railroad Commission of California, after Intermittent hear ings since April 26, 1914. The com pany, it was said, complied in part with the commission's views by in creasing porters' wages. Objections to the company's methods, advanced by the commission at several hearings, were held to spring from tipping. U-Boat Could Carry Milk. New York That it would be entire ly feasible to have submarine m chantmen carry milk to the babies in the central empires was the opinion given by Lieutenant Commander Craft, of the New York navy yard, to the cit izens committee for food shipments. "If the submarine were constructed for the purpose," said Lieutenant Craft, "there is no scientific reason why it could not make a voyage across the Atlantic with a cargo. The idea of a submarine for blockade-running is new but practical." NEW PLAN OF TESTING PUPILS TO BE TRIED IN EIGHRGRADE EXAMS. In this May and June Etghth'grade examinations new plan will, be tried in testing the pupils In thesubjects of U. S. History and. Civil .Government, according toa statement issued by State Superintendent of Public In struction J. A. Churchill. During' the examination the pupils will be allowed to refer to their text'books, but the questions will be so framed as'to test the ability of the pupil in expressing what he has learned in clear, concise language. The advantages of such a plan are, that it permits the teachers to emphasize the historical events which she considers most' important; it gives the trained teacher greater freedom, so that she can do a much higher quality of work than simply helping the pupils to "cram" for an examination; it frees the teacher and the pupils from so teaching and study ing as to make the examination the end; it tends to give the pupils power of expression and eliminates the mem orizing of unimportant dates and facts. "There is alwaya danger," said Su perintendent Churchill, "of the ex amination system developing a ques tion and answer method of teaching. Any plan whereby the examination be comes the end is unpedagogical, and the examination usually deteriorates into a memory test With this new plan, if the teacher will adopt it for the pupils' monthly tests, they will learn by the close of the year how to use the' text as merely a reference work in writing their final papers. The questions will be bo worded that it will be impossible for the pupil to copy any amonut from the text book, but he will find help by taming to it to refresh his memory on some point that has es caped him just for the moment. When writing an examinatoin a pupil often finds that he cannot recall the answer to a question. He is then liable to be come so nervous and frightened that he will fail in the entire examination. This is really the common-sense way to prepare a pupil for his work in the every day world, for if a man has to write an article or prepare a paper on any subject, he does not attempt to depend upon his memory for the proof which he wishes to use from various seources to substantiate his state ments; rather, he has on his table a number of reference works dealing with the subject upon which he is writing;. v The eighth grade examinations, to a very large exent, set the standard of teaching, and I am very confident that this new plan will strengthen the work in the eighth grade and give the pupil much more power and confidence than he gains from the memory tests. If his class standing has been high dur ing the year and his English class work has been below par, the open book will be of no help to him during the short hour of his examination." FARMERS' AND HOME-MAKERS' SHORT COURSE IN SESSION Corvallis Many pars of Oregon are represented in the gathering of farm ers and homemakers at the Agricultur al college for the annual short course work which beagn last week. Un like the work of Farmers' week the short oourse work ij carried on with the regular college work, and it ex tends over a period of four weeks, Much of the work is given'as class and personal Instruction through lectures, demonstrations and laboratory exer cises.

Tacoma FreBh 'halibut is reported scarce on the local market. ; Dealers, however, expect regualr shipments to begin and keep up after a week ' or so. Receipts are far below the demand and the fish is going at ' 9c to 11c a pound. What is being received is of excellent quality. The shortage is attributed directly to the fact that fishermen laid off work during the holi days and after that the weather was too stormy to permit them to make any reasonable catches. Salmon also is reported scarce, with not enough being obtained to accom modate the trade. Steelheads and Alaska kings are the only varieties received. The steelheads are- being caught in the Columbia and other Northwest rivers, in the Grays Harbor' and Puget Sound districts. The kings come from Alaska. Butter remains at the advanced prices and is very firm, say jobbers, at 14c a pound. No change either way is expected for some time. Prac tically no Oregon butter is being re ceived, but what little does come in is moving out at 32c a pound. Ranch eggs are a bit easier, dealers setting prices down at 8436c a dozen to encourage sales, they say. The local produce market shows no change.

Turning Meanness Into Joy. - One does not often envy millionaires -the galling of their golden chains too evident in their faces not one recent exception stands out Three days before Christmas the Pittsburgh Bank for Savings was closed by the state officials, and among its deposi tors were over 41,000 schooL children who had about four dollars apiece to their credit The bank had had an arrangement with the board of educa tion by which collectors visited the schools every week and got the chil dren's pennies. When the bank closed all the children had for their pains was the chance of a 60 per cent divi dend some two months later. But Henry C.

Where the Strong Are Weakest Tn view of the deadly Inroads of grippe and pneumonia and the warn ings In this connection Issued by the public health authorities, a word ad dressed especially to the strong and well may not be amiss. Though seem ingly remarkable, It Is a perfectly logi cal fact that both grippe and pneu monia find their greatest number of victims among persons who are in normal health. The latter disease, In fact seems rather partial to excep tionally robust persons, and. In every day parlance, the stouter they are the easier they fall. The reason for this simple. Frail persons are accus tomed to take extra care of them selves in the knowledge of their weak ness and liability to sickness, and thus escape some of the Ills that overtake the stronger ones. The robust ones, especially the man who "never had a sick day In his life," come to regard their health as being Immune from at tack and so expose themselves reck lessly. Also they are Inclined to In difference after having contracted a cold or even more serious affection, relying on their usually rugged health to pull them through. Pittsburg ua zette Times.
