LOCAL MAN HELPS
STOP PROPAGANDA
I), (iilhert Ieads Move to
Correct Article on
Germany
SCHOOL (.EOCRAI'HIES
WILL CARRY NOTE
Statewide Movement Is Start
ed hy Council of
. Defense
Following the auggestiun of P. I).
Gilbert, chairman uf tne Linn counlv
council of defense, the school geogra
phies will carry a critical nute on
oermany explaining away the refer
ences in the geography which are be
lieved to nave been inspired by the
aalionwide propaganda of tha Ger
mana. This move is taring made bv
the state council of defense and is
backed by the state achool authonties.
1 he critical note was prepared bv
Profeaaod Joseph Shaefer of the Uni
versity of Oregon, and copies are to
be inserted in the geographies of all
the school children. Mr. Gilbert found
that several statements made in tha
school geographies were inaccurate,
and suggested that the German article
m the book be cut out. Thia includ
ed a picture of the Kaiser. After
bringing hia viewa on the question De
fore the state superintendent, it was
derided that if this was good for Linn
county, it was good for the state.
The matter contained in the note
should be taught by the teachers be
fore the end of the term, whether the
class haa studied Germany or not. Mr.
Churchill in his statement declares
that no excuse can be accepted from
any teacher who neglects to carry out
thia-order at once. Following is a por
tion of the criticism which is to be
added.
Instead of the 'many near neigh
bors' causing much trouble to Ger
many, which is true only of the period
pnor to the unmcauon oi uermanv
in 1870-71. Germanv has caused in
finite trouble to her neighbors. While
her boundaries nre largely nrtificial.
the result of war. as the authors say.
they are not nearly ao artificial aa the
Amencan-untisn Dounaary aiong me
4'Jth uarallel. where no fortifications
of any sort exist and about which nei
.i . U.....L- Ik. l ' n
States has manifested particular anx
ii.iv lost tiecnuse these states have a
desire to live peacefully as neighbors
instead of preying muilaniy upon
each other. , ,
"After Germany had cru -inert
France in the war of 1870-71 the Ger
man government not only imposed a
tremendously heavy war indemnity
(Sl.fMKt.OOO.OOOl, but also cut awav
from the French national territory the
French provinces of Alsace-t-orraine.
"When Germanv took Alsace-Lor
raine in 1871 she consciously, deliber
ately and ruthlessly vivisected France
and leu ner. laceraxeu anu uiwuihk
It was impossible for any people to
forget and forgive such an act. Ger
many must have known in advance
that this act would make the French
their enemies and there is reason fo'
believing that this ia what she desired.
"Now that the world has had a reve
lation of Germany's plans of conquest
in the treaties she has forced upon
Russia and Roumania, which show
that the designs of the Pan-Germanic
I-eague (an association for spreading
the idea of world-empire for Germany
whose activities cover many years)
were reollv the designs of the German
government, u is nne vw tii ui
many as a nation forced into militar
ism "for defensive purposes. Ger -ninny's
militarism had an offensive
purpose, not a defensive purpose."

LIBERTY LOAN
CAMPAIGN MUST
BE KEPT GOING
The local Liberty Loan committee
received by wire from Washington
today the following statement by Sec
retary McAdoo, which ia self -explanatory
:
1 learn with deep regret that there
is a disposition on the part of the Lib
erty Loan organizations in various
parts of the country to discontinue
their efforts after they have reached
their quota or have oversubscribed
their quota to some extent. I re
quested $3,000,000,000 as the mini
mum that the government ought to
have, with the hope and expectation
that it would be largely over-subscrib
ed and that every Liberty Loan com
mittee would exert itself to secure the
largest possible over-subscription. 1
hope the Liberty Loan committee will
energetically continue the campaign
until its close in order to secure not
only the success of the loan as a
whole and the largest possible over
subscription, but also the greatest
possizle number of individual buyers.
