FOR PURE AMERICANISM
VICE PRESIDENT PLEADS
Would Abolish the Hyphen
and I each But One Language
In Schools
At the dinner given last evening at
tne Marion .holel in honor of Vice
President and Mrs. Marshall, the vice
j'rePHienr, romurKed tnat he was once
"gain glad to visit the city, especially
ew at this visit he was the only vice
president in captivity.
As to giving the Oregonians advice,
ho felt he was hardly qualified to do
as he understood that the voters of
Oregon had tried about everything- new
under the sun in the new laws and h
didn't see whore they were especially
in need of any suggestions.
. Fifty-five representative citizens sat
down at the informal dinner giveu last
evening. Postmaster Huckestein pre
sided, and a short address was made by
Senator McNnry. Besides the short
talks, the program included selections
liy the Hunt orchestra, violin solas- by
Viola Vercler Hflman and vocal solos
by Mrs. A. Rahn and O. B. Gingrich.
Great Crowd Gathers.
Following the banquet the vice pres
ident was scheduled for a lyceum lec
ture, and a great crowd surrounded the
entrance before 8 o'clock. Finally an
nouncement was mado that the house
was full and that no more tickots
wbuld be sold, but many in the, crowd
remained ciowding.. around the win
dows during the address, seeking to
see and hear. But very few tickets
were sold for the balcony, as the man
agement yesterday afternoon learned
that it was not safe until needed re
pairs can be made, which will be at
once.
Before the introduction of Senator
McNary by Mr. McCaddam, of the
lyceum bureau, Prof. John Todd gave
one of his fine baritone solos, accom
panied on the piano by Mrs. Alfred
Schramm, which was heartily ap
plauded. Senator Mo-Nary and August Hucke
atein occupied the platform with the
vice president, the former introducing
the speaker in a few well chosen
sentences.
Mr. Marshall was warmly received
and frequent and hearty applause
punctuated his address.
Address at tne Armory
Mr. Marshall's address, "Yesterday,
Today and Tomorrow, " dealt with the
one important topic of the day, the
great war. Speaking from the' point
f view of one who has followed at
close ran go the events that led to the
present crisis the vice .president gave
a stirring patriotic . review of Amel
ia's participation in the wcrld war.
He spoke not as a democrat but as an
American, "for," he said, "to me
there are no parties now but those who
love tho United States and these wLS
do not."
"The time has now eome when a
man who will not melt into a lovai
.American should be taken out cf tho
melting pot and sent home," said Mr.
Marshall. "When a naturalized citi
zen is. found making seditious utter
ances against the president and this
country his naturalization papers
phouhl be canceled and his properly
confiscated to the United States go
emment. The supreme court of the
United States has said this can be
douoj and unless ttmidbody innulgur
atcs such a course of treatment of dis
loyal naturalized 'citizens 1 shall do it
myself.
"1 am not prejudiced against the
foreigner. The foreigner who conies to
this country with the intention of be"
coming a good citizeii some'times makes
an even better American citizen than
1 am. I believe that 95 per cent of the
Gorman people in the United fltattt
today would be good and patriotic cit
izens if we would enly let them."
Self seeking politicians and avari
cious business interests are in a meas
ure responsible for the war, charged
Mr. Marshall. The people cannot blame
the politicians, however, continued the
speaker, for the people are themselves
responsible for the politicians. As a
Tesult of the war, the speaker said, he
sees the abolition of the hyphenated
vote in the future.
"It will put an end to the hyphe
nated American of every kind and we
"will have instead a plain, unadulter
ated American citizen from now on,"
he said. "We will have a new light on
one another. Some of tne brainiest and
most successful business men in the
country are volunteering .their services

S. A. PARK TELLS
HOW HOSPITAL ONLY
SERVES SALEM PUBLIC
Institution Is Not Operated
For Profit Member of
Board Declares
Threo points with regard to the pro
ject for a "new Salem hospital are
brought out in an interview with Chas.
A. Park, member of the hospital board,
which is published for the information
of the public.
''The first is that the hospital cor
poration merely acts for tho citizens of
Salem. The second is that a hospital is
operated ideally for service and not for
profits.-And tne third is that the hos
pital project at this time, is not merely
a desirable thing for tho city but an ab
solute necessity.
Ono enre ot tho Hospital Board has
always been that onr expenditures
should be less than our income. That we
should always have money enough to
meet our bills when due. Our thought
has been that we would relieve the pub
lic or 'any responsibility tor their own
hospital, and we have pursued this pol
icy for 17 years. Perhaps it would havo
been better if we had been constantly
bof ore the people for gifts and dona
tions. Then they might have understood
that it was an institution toward which
everybody had an obligation, and in
which every one : was interested.
As the matter stands, the public has
forgotten that it owns a hospital. They
have drifted into thinking that the hos
pital was the private property "Of the
board. And somenow, in spite of repeat
ed assertions to the contrary, that the
board was actually deriving dividends
therefrom. The hospital is incorporated
under a definite state law for non-profit
sharing corporations, so that it is im
possible that there should be any pro-
tits. Any surplus there has been has
gone into betterments for the institu
tion. And to suppose that any member
of the board has derived profit, or even
salary, is to charge these citizens with
breach of trust.
We have been able so to administer
the affairs of the hospital, in Bpite of
the fact that we have handled many
county cases at less than actual cost, so
that the hospital could increase its size
and its equipment., . It has paid its
paving assessment. It has had funds
to purchase property, and to provide
the execavation for the new building.
All this without asking the public for
a penny. Ve feel therefore that our
consciences are quite clear in now ask
ing the public to put up money for the
erection of its own hospital.
The board is nothing more or less
than a holding body for tho people. The
Articles of Incorporation of the hos
pital provide that nine members shall
constitute the Board, also provides for
the manner of electing the members and
length of the terms of office. For some
time, the Board has felt that its mem
bership should be enlarged so that a
greater number of the citizens of Sol
em would be represented thereon. The
proposed re-organization will make the
Board more directly responsible to all
the people.
If we attempted to erect this new
hospital and tried to make it pay for
itself from the surplus of the business,
it could be done only by greatly cur
tailing the service, or else by exorbi
tant rates. - Neither method is even
thinkable. When it is a matter of life
and death, parsimony of service could
not even be considered. Nor could we
fix rates so high as to make them
prohibitive, and the hospital thus be
come merely a rich man's institution.
It is not for the rich. It is for all. A
hospital is not comparable to an ordin
ary business, which is run primarily
with the idea of profits. Profit is en
tirely secondary in the hospital to
service.
As matters stand today, the hospital
building is on land owned by the state,
so that the hospital owned by the citi
zens exists merely on sufferance. The
last legislature was about to order the
property vacated. If we should be fin
ally compelled to vacate before a new
hospital is erected, It -will mean cut
tins down Salem's hospital facilities
to less than one-half their present mark.
When it is understood that the present
total facilities are inadequate, it will
be known how serious would be their
further curtailment. It is not a ques-
'tion as to whether Salem shall build
hospital now, or at some future time.
i We have to build.it now or not have
any. . .

RUSSIA IS BACK
TO-If I1TIAL STATU S
OF CIEATUPIEAVAL
Civil War Seems Only Pos
sible Outcome of Existing
State of Anarchy
By Ed L. Keen,
(United Press Staff Correspondent)
London, Nov. 9. Russia is back
again where she was last March.
Bolsheviki fanatics, extreme radicals
who burn "at onco ,to mako the world
a brotherhood, who aro set against all
wars, who believe in uttermost demo
cracy, today seemed to control all
Petrograd, tho capital.
Premier Kerensky and what remains
of the machinery of i,he provisional
government apparently still has the
support of the remainder of Bussia.
lhe situation was regarded here as
precisely parallel to the first few days
following the revolution by which the
czar was upset. Thon it was Lvoff,
Mihukolf and other liberals who first
seized the outward symbols of govern
ment in Petrograd, whilo the old regime
still clung to the power in the other
parts of Russia.
Tho danger, as London saw it today,
was that Lenine, Trotsky and his fol-low-fanatics
of the Bolsheviki, would
be able to extend their control beyond
Petrograd and sway Russia's great
peasant population, ignorant of the
Utopian idealism of the Bolsoviki, to
their side.
Kerensky was reported to have
escaped the rebels in Petrograd.. He
was reported seen en route to Moscow.
It was believed here that he would
name that city the capital and there
endeavor to consolidate all Russia
against the usurping group at Petro
grad. The Bolsaeviki - controlled cable
agency announced that the foreign
minister, Tereschenko, Minister of Com
merce Konovaloff, Minister of Public
Relief Kiskin, Minister of Justice Mal
antovitch and Minister of the Interior
Nikitin, had U been arrested by the
new revolutionary governing council at
Petrograd. Other provisional govern
ment' officials wore detained.
Nicholai Linine, whoso energies have
always been regarded here as directed
from Berlin, is firmly seated in power
in Petrograd by the new revolution.
Leon Trotsky, his now partner in the
coop by which the Bolsheviki over
threw control in the capital, has like
wise come under (previous suspicion
as dominated by the Germans.
Because of this, the fear is felt here
that in pursuance of their crazy scheme
of restoring peace to the whole world
or, possibly, in purusance or plans
of the German officials who hold Len
ine, Trotsky and others in their powCT
the Bolsheviki would open tne way
to Petrograd to a German fleet and
German reinforcements to their forces.
In London it was regarded as prac
tically certain that Trotsky and Len-

MEDIATE PEACE
Wm f ROSS
European Expert, However.
Thinks His May Not Mean
Separate Peace
By J. W. T. Mason
(Written for the United States)
New York, Nov. 9. There is no con
clusive reason for believing that the
Russian Maximalists want a separate
peace when they demand an immediate
pace. Nor is it necessary to assume
that the Maximalists desire for an im
mediate peace means a peace with the
present imperialistic governments of the
central powers.
Indications are not tacking that the
kind of a peace the Maximalists want
may be a peace with democratized Ger
many, and if a democracy does not
arise in Germany to respond to an im
mediate Russian' peace proposal,' the
Maximalists will be compelled to contin
ue in the war. At the present stage of
the eounter revolution in Busaia, it is
unwise to assume that the Maximalist
leaders are pro-Germans, bent on stren
gthening the kaiser's militaristic posi
tion in Europe.
If the Maximalists are resolved on a
separate peace they will find the nego
tiations far more difficult than has been
IEDICAL EXAMINATION
RIGID AT CAMP LEWIS
Men Will Be Picked From
Ranks for Special
Examination
Tacoma, Wasli., Nov. 9. The most
rigid medical examination ever given
an army is that to which the 91st div
ision at Camp Lewis will be subjected
within the next ten days, according to
medical officers here today. While all
the men have been thoroughly examin
ed already, they will again be brought
before te examining commissions, in
companies, and physicians will pick
from the ranks those who they think
should have special examinations. Tu
berculosis, or predisposition to tuber
culosis, nervous affections and the con
dition of the soldiers' feet particular
ly will engage the attention of the med
ical men.
Even the disposition of the individual
will be taken into account. If any sol
dier is found to be harbouring a pro
tracted or unreasonable grouch, if he is
subject to fits of temper or is more
than normally stupid, ho will be sent
to the psychiatric department for ob
servation. The tuberculosis commission will in
spect every man, including officers, in
camp, and any Intent cases that may
be discovered will be isolated.
In short, no American soldier may go
to France for active duty in the war
unless he is mentally and physically
sound in every particular.
VANCOTJVEB AVIATION SCHOOL.
Vancouver, Wash., Nov. 9. An army
aviation school, with 2200 student fliers
will be established here in quarters soon
to be vacated by tho 14th and 44th in
fantry regiments, it became known to
day. The two infantry regiments will
go to Camp Lewis.
imagined. The difficulties exist not only
for the Maximalists, but also for the
kaiser. Tho kaiser wants annexationist
peace. The only fruitful field for Teu
tonic annexations is in Russia. As at
present suggested, Austria-Hungary de
sires Poland and Germany the Baltic
provinces.
If the Maximalists agree to peace on
such a basis as this, it is impossible to
believe the Russian army would con
sent. The Maximalists probably would
be driven quickly from power. On the
ether hand, if Gormany accepts a sep
arate peaee from Russia on the basis
of a pre-war frontier, the kaiser must
confess that militarism has failed and
that Germany can hope for nothing
from the war. Under this condition, lhe
spirit of the Bussion revolution might
well spread to Germany, perhaps even
overwhelming the Hoenzollerns.
The Dresent situation, therefore. Is
not as black as in some quarters, as it,
is being painted. The formula or a sep-;
arate peace is very complex, tnis is
probablv the reason why the semi-of
ficial Cologne Gazette is warning the
German people not to build high nopes
on te Maxliralist snccess in Petrograd.

BTJMOB OF ARREST.
Stockholm, Nov. 9. Arrest of
Premier Kerensky of Russia was
reported in messages received
here today. No details were
given of how the Bolseviki suc
ceeded in approhending the head
of the provisional government.
Petrograd, Nov. 9. Petrograd is al
most normal today with the new revo
lutionary government in full control and
maintaining practically complete order.
The change from Kerensky provision
government to the now Bolsheviki
regime has been accomplished without
bloodshed.
The WToman's battalion of death,
charged by the old government with
defense of the winter palace, held out
to the last and only surrendered when
overwhelmed by the Bolsheviki troops,
and menaced by enough guns to blow
up the whole palace. For four hours
the women, assisted by a few other
troops loyal to Kerensky, bitterly
fought off all advances. Then the cruis
er Aurora was brought up the Neva and
her great guns trained on the defenders.
They were - forced to give up the un
equal struggle.
Kerensky 's escape from the Maximal

WM. SHEPHERD HOME
TELLS OF RUSSIA AND
THE NEW REVOLT
By William G. Shepherd
(United Press staff correspondent, who
arrived today lrom Kussia;
New York. Nov. 9 If Kerensky suc
ceeded in getting away from Petrograd
and establishes a government at Mos
cow, I firmly believe he will be able
to carry enough of the army with him
to keep up a semblance of war and
that is the best wo can ask of Russia
at this time.
There will be no civil war in Rus
sia. Aside, perhaps, from somo street
fighting in Petrograd.
There are two kindB of soldiers in
Russia those who want to fight and
those who don't and it is just as hard
to get the latter to fight the former
as it is to. get them to fight Germans.
Tho czar mobilized too many men.
He put twenty million men iu uniform.
The great problem facing Kerensky in
October was how to get some of these
men back to their homes. Kvery time
there is a change in socialistic govern1
mcnt in Petrograd, the geographical
area over which tho incoming govern
ment has control is reduced until now
the new alleged government of Russia,
which has replaced Kerensky is gov
erning only Potrograd alone.
In Russia there are vast forces at
work, quietly and often in an under
ground way. But they are bringing
Russia together. As far as tho Bolshe
viki are concerned, we may as well
look the facts squarely in the face.
The averago Russian soldier, who
docs not want to fight is a Bolsheviki
not bocause of theories of socialism,
but because the uolsheviki are against
the war.
If this Bolsheviki happens to be a
peasant then he is a double Bolshe
viki and he not only is unwilling to
fight but unwilling to remain at the
front. He wants to return home and
get bis piece of laud.
Behind Lenine and Trotsky there are
