SOCIETY
Treatment of Oerrd
i Complete astonishment was eipreas
t in official eirles, coupled with in-
dignations over Germany's withholding
of passport. It waa admitted at the
J state department that yesterday the
,had received a message indicating tie
I rard ' detention, but officials insisted
;that subsequent cables apparently clear
'ed up that difficulty, indicating Gerard
would leave "soon."
Officials saiil the California sinking
might be the "overt act" necessary to
'convince the president that the imper
; ial government is, indeed, bent on car
irying out to the letter the "wilful
I prosecution of the ruthless naval pro
!grarn," announcement of which caused
j Wilson to sever relations.
I The fact that no Americans perish
ed was simply a case of "pure luck."
officials admitted. The spirit and in
tent of Germany, they declare was
opeuly displayed, regardless of the per
sonael of the passenger list. Had a ma
jority of the travelers been American
women and children, instead of for
eigners, the attack would have occur
red just the Bamc, they believe.
On the other hand, those who know
the president's mind and purpose in
the present crisis declare emphatically
there must be no vestige of doubt, no
question whatever as to the case being
a clear cut violation of American rights
before actual warfare will result.
Should the president adopt a course
of war he mUBt be able, they hold, to
depend on the backing of a united
country. It ig pointed out that the dan
ger of loss of American life 011 the
high seas is daily diminishing.
As was anticipated, the president's
action in breaking wita Germany has
accomplished tho same result as an
open warning to travelers and American
ship owners to remain in port.

Professor Dob Speaks
Here Tomorrow Evening J
Professor F. ft. Dunn of the extension
department of the I'ni versify of Oregon
will deliver a lecture Friday evening
at the First Presbyterian church, tak
ing for his subject, "Hrlencc as an aid
to teaehers of Bible history."
Prof. Dunn will show that the eveuts
in the Bible are not a series of nymphs,
but actual historical events, proven
from the records which have been in
recent years taken from the ruins of the
civilizations of ancient Babylon and
Egypt. He will note the fact that the
extensive investigations carried on in
these countries in recent years have
thrown a flood of light upon these ques
tions. Cylinders and day tablets bear
ing historical records have been un
earthed which confirm in detail the oid
Testament accounts of Ennacherib's
army, the celebrated battle of the Kings
and the crossing of the Ked sea. A
mummy found in Egypt has been iden
tified as that of the great Rameses, the
Pharaoh of oppression. He will show
how the result of these investigations
should benefit teachers of the Bible
history.

definitely postponing the sailing of
their vessels indicates they take this
view.
No American Ships Sail
With the seas cleared of American
ships and American travelers refusing
to tako passage on belligerent vessels,
there was small liklihood of an Ameri
can life being endangered, it was de
clared. Should American ships decide to arm
defensively, as the government has rul
ed they may, more serious develop
ments may come very soon.
Questions involving the sailings and
convoying of American ships arc ad
mittedly trying. It. was significantly
indicated by officials today that ow
ing to indications that Germany would
very soon commit an overt act, such as
would mean war, it might be best to
conserve this country's naval resources
by keeping the navy intact.
Firm belief is held that the next few
days will determine whether or not
there is to be peace or war.
In this connection some officials to
day expressed the belief that perhaps
Germany would be careful not to com
mit any over acts until Bernstorff and
his party have reached Germany and
Gerard and his party are well on their
way to America.

The American embassy and American
consulates throughout Germany are
flooded with American citizens seeking
information and advice- Great numbers
find themselves with insufficient funds
with which to pay passage home, or to
neutral nations outside of Germany and
this has added to the burdens of Gerard
and his staff. Every effort is being
made to extend financial relief to these
stranded Americans, under the special
appropriation available for such a contingency.
i PRINGLE AND SUNNY SI0E NEWS
Expect to Arrange Matters.
Washington, Feb. 8. The state de
partment today declared that, while
official messages have brought infor
mation telling of Ambassador Gerard's
virtual detention in Berlin, it expects
matters undoubtedly will be adjusted at
once. Information reaching the depart
ment also told of other Americans being
delayed.
Safe conduct from the entente allies
for Ambassador Bernstorff and his staff
is expected before night. This, officials
said, would end all delay in Berlin.
Official messages showed that the
safe conduct for Bernstorff, plus excite
ment over placing of guards on German
ships in American harbors, constituted
the basis for delaying passports of Ger
ard, his staff, newspaper men and oth
er Americans.
The department has word from Am
bassador Willard today explaining that
his message of yesterday, saying he had
heard from Gerard in Berne, Switzer
land, was erroneous, Willard saying to
day that his message came from Ber
lin via Berne.
State department officials said "it is
only a matter of a little time until the
whole situation will be straightened
out."
The following registered as deciding
to remain in Germany:
Kdward E. Mueeke, Aurora, Oregon.
Helen C. Crane, Searsdale, X. Y.
Fern Andra, Hammond, Ind.
Mrs. Flora John, Milwaukee, Wis.
Mrs. Baiehel Loevwnsen, Chicago.
Magdalen Albergfelden, Minneapolis.
The following listed themselves as

MaUins Goldtrec, New York.

Ferdinand Mayer and wife, New

transferred to the Swiss legation and
several dozen photographs necessary
adjuncts to issuance of passports have
been taken.
Each member of the two hundred or
more Germans who sail on the Frederik
VIII must have four photographs tak
en, as in the case with all applicants
for passports. The Frederik, by stop
ping at Halifax for inspection, probably
will not have to stop after that before
arriving at her Scandinavian destina
tion. Her route as now planned, is the
Northern lane outside the north of
Scotland. Thus sho will avoid practical
ly all the British mine fields and the
German submarine zone.

FOR COMPULSORY SERVICE
Olympia, Wash., Feb. S. By a vote
of 78 to 13, the house- of representa
tives is now on record for compulsory
military service. A memorial to that
effect wis addressed to congress.
It declares: ''This system is pre
I eminently democratic, inasmuch as it
places tho burden of this highest duty
of citizenship upon all, rather than
upon a few, as a professional class. ' '
FRIENDS OF IRELAND PROTEST
Seattle, aWsh., Feb..S. Members of
the Friends of Irish Freedom organ
ization hire have wired Chairman
Stone, nf the senate foreign relations
committed that "no conditions exist
(justifyinj the intervention of this na
tiou in the prevailing European war."
(Continued from page one.)
"The conservative Kreuz Zcitung
says: 'The note addressed by our ene
mies to President Wilson proves that
their war aims arc against our national
and political existence. We light for
our women and children, in irons and
blockaded. When even this measure, in
spite of two years; of the most brutal
execution failed to bring Germany to
death by hunger, England on January
20, 1017, once more declared a part ot
the North sea a war zone. Thus Kng
laud has twice declared parts of the
high seas as barred and twice declared
that everybody who ventured into the
barred zone incurs danger and not only
danger for the ships but for the lives of
all human .beings on board.
"Without regard for the rights of
neutrals and the rights of peaceful
trade, England, therefore, created the
idea of a war zone, of which the char
acteristic element is: announcement of
a (learly defined danger zone, by
threatening unnamed dangers for ships
and tho lives of their crews.
," I'll restricted warfare against sea
traffic within that district.
"Germany has now followed the Eng
lish example. The German declaration
of a barred zone only differs from the
English declaration of a war zone by
the fact that neutral coasts are not in
cluded. "Exactly as the English declaration
of a war zone is not a declaration of a
blockade and does not want to be such,
just as little has the German declara
tion in common with the declaration of
a blockade, The German barred zone
is a district which cannot be passed
without exposing the ship and crew to
danger of destruction. In this district
the war is carried on without restric
tion against all sea traffic to and from
hostile countries and for this district
it must be said that whosoever wiilful
lr enters into danger mav perish bv
it."
SUCCESSFUL FRENCH RAIDS
Paris, Feb. 8. Successful truck re
connaissance raids in Alsace, in which
German lines were penetrated at three
points and their dugouts destroyed,
without loss to the raiders, was announc
cd in yesterday's official statement.
On tbe right bank of the Meuse the
statement said two enemy raids around
Louvemont and Eparges were repulsed.
Elsewhere it was calm.
