Four attacks were made in right hours, and the fourth

Six Registering Places Were

I
I WASHINGTON. June 5.
I General i'rowder declared today
I that the youngsters registering
today will probably be in training I
camps before October. j
A aurpriaing number of young men
who have become 21 aince the laat reg-
islratioa for the draft turned up in
Albany today. There were 40 regis
tered at 1 o'clock and it ia believed
that the number will go around 65 be
fore the rloae of the day.
There are aix registering placea in
the county, and if the Albany average
ia kept up, more than 200 young men
will have regiaU-rrd. The other placea
of registering are Brownaville, Har
riaburg, Lebanon, Mill City and Scio.
The large majority of those regis
tering in Albany were farmers, and
almost all of these were employed on
the farms. The townboys of the reg
istering age are apparently in the
army.
It ia not known how many names
the registration will add to class one.
It ia lielirved, however, that a large
numlK-r of the registrants will be
class' one men as but few have de
pendents, according to the registrars.
It was believed that the total num
ber to register today would be less
than 200 and aome estimates placed
the number as low as 100. On the
last draft Linn county had about 185
young men 21 years of age, and it
was thought that this number would
not be reached this year on account of
Ihe fact that many have enlisted.
MAYOR CURL WILL
TALK TONIGHT AT
SCIO GRADUATION
Mayor L. M. Curl will go to Scio
this evening to make the address at
the gradunting exercises to be held
there. Mr. Curl was the principal of
the Scio schools .10 years ago, and the
school authorities asked him to re
turn again for the commencement thia
evening.
When Mr. Curl was the principal of
the Scio school the population of the
city was larger thnn it is at present
At thnt time, according to the statis
tics, the city had a populaion of 500,
and since that time it has gradually
dwindled until it is now credited with
300 inhabitants.
Mr. Curl came to Albany from Scio.
and haa been in business here ever
since.
Doubted Tales
then heating their brains out, innocu-
lating them with tuberculosis and even
syphillia are some of their favorite
practices. I tell you honest, there has
been nothing said that is strong
enough to tell how lown down and
contemptible they are. I have seen
tminloads of refugees and the sight is
horrible. Their stories of the German
outrages almost unbelievable; nothing
too strong rnn lie said against the
Hun. Every man over here wants
Germany absolutely and finnlly whip
ped, that ia. just licked to a finish. Its
such a contrast to see how the Ger
mnn prisoners in France are treated;
comfortable quarters, good meals and
not a grent deal of work. The prisoner
officers are certainly treated like gen
tlemen. They don't work at all. You
bet If I was running it thoy would
work.
I hope that Mamma won't worrv
about mo, because I'm getting on fine.

driven back and must be fed from this

Troops must have bread carried to

j Mann Bequest May Be Used
as Nucleus for New
Building Fund
The annual meeting of the board of
trustees of the college was held Tues-
' day afternoon. The annual report of
Acting President Lee showed that the
hool year had been passed success
' fully. The faculty for next year will
j be about the same as last year with
one or two exceptions. It is probable
that the Bible chair will be filled with
a full time man. These details were
left to the faculty committee.
A resolution was adopted which pro
vides for giving an annual scholarshiD
to every person giving $100 in the
present canvass for the $15,000 emerg
ency fund being subscribed in Albany.
A committee was appointed to pre
pare an exhibit of the college's affairs
for the meeting of Oregon Synod ir
July. This committee was also en
trusted with working out a policy with
reference to building operations and
securing a new president. Acting Pres
ident Lee insisting on this being the
time for selecting a president for the
college.
Action was taken looking toward
ioint control of the college by the
Presbyterian and United Presbyterian
denominations. A communication
from the New York college board
brought the matter to the attention of
the local board,
The new attitude of the New York
college board was recognized as more
favorable than at any time since the
merger matter was proposed. Rev.
Dr. Russell, a member of that board
jwil, visit Albany in July and make
recommendations to tne ynou ana uie
board.
Hon. Frank J. Miller was reelected
president of the board of trustees and
Wm. Fortmillcr reelected secretary.
The following committee was announc
ed on future policy of the college: C,
E. Sox, Rev. W. P. White, C. C. Bry
ant. Dr. W. H. Lee and A. M. Wil
Hams.
A resolution adopted provides that
all teachers employed in the college
shall certify their evangelical faith in
such a wny that the college may be
made known as an Institution of dis
tinct Christian emphasis.
No action was taken with reference
to the Mann bequest of $15,000, fnas
much as the terms of the bequest have
not been definitely made known to the
hoard. There is a strong feeling In
the board that the fund should be us
ed as the nucleus for building opera
tions on the new campus.
