WILL AID THE RURAL
SCHOOLS

.0S pointed out here yester.
~ day by Professor Ressler
of 0. A. c. the rural
school is the chief sufferer
when there is a lack of pro-
perly trained teachers.
The cities and towns usually
secure the better grade of
teachers and aside from this
the town schools have the
benefit of supervisory work
that is not to be had in the
country.
The country teacher has no
city superintendent or princi-
pal to aid her. She is practi-
cally upon her own resources
and if her training has been
meager as is generally the case
at present she is not equipped
to obtain the best results.
Hence the country districts
have most to gain by the estab-
fishing of more adequate nor
NAL training in Oregon. This is
the statement of man who for
seven years was president of
the Monmouth Normal school
and who knows whereof he
1t is a situation that
should strongly impress coun-
try people with the Importance
of the normal school measure
that will be on the ballot this
fall.

JAMES J. HILLS TESTI-
MONY
~ HE partisan critics of the
W Wilson administration

~ HE partisan critics of the
VI Wilson administration
have insisted that the
prosperity we enjoy has not
been due to any act Of the ad-
ministration, but to the war. 1t
is refreshing to read in an ar
ticle by the late James J. Hill,
discussing the merits and faults
of the Federal reserve act, the
following sentence:
Indeed, without the
freedom of action and the
certainty of abundant
credit when needed, which
the new law offered, our
financial and business af-
fairs would probably have
been plunged into disorder
at an early stage of the dis
turbances following the
outbreak of the war.
Mr.. Hill was an acknOwl.
edged authority in business and
finance. In his opinion disOr.
der in our financial and bust
ness affairs would have follow
ed the opening of the war if it
had not been for the freedom
IF action and the certainty Of
abundant credit" provided by
he banking and currency act
and the Federal Reserve Banks
which it established.
So the panic and loss which
would have been caused by the
war under the old banking and
currency system, was turned
nto stability and profit by the
new system which the Wilson
administration established. Our
prosperity was directly due to
an act Of the Wilson admins
in other words, while
he administration did not
cause the great demand for
American products which ac-
,ompanied the war, it adopted
avs and created conditions un-
Ter them which enabled us to
avoid panic and take profit
able advantage Of the demand.
Wise laws, creating stable.
Just conditions which enable
the people to utilize their in
dustry and resources, are the
greatest possible achievements
Of an administration. Govern
ment cannot do more than this
for all the people.-St. Louis

FRENCH AND GERMANS
 IN RANGE DUEL
Germans Seem to Be Preparing for Another Heavy Drive Against the French Positions Northwest of Verdun.

London, April 27.-The whole of Ireland is under martial law as a result of the attempted revolution in Dublin. The disaffection has spread to points in the west and south of the island, but here strong military activities are under way to put down the movement.
 The rebels in Dublin are still hold ing positions they captured in the city, but at last reports fighting was going on between the troops and the Sim Feiners.
 The sectors of Avocourt, Esnes and Cumieres, northwest of Verdun are still under the same heavy lombard ment that has been in progress for several days. No infantry attacks by the Germans have been attempted here, but an attempt at an advance is imminent. The Germans, northwest of Verdun on the front of Haudre- mont, and the Thiaumont farm and between Douaumont and Vaux es- saved attacks following lombard ments, but the French curtain of fire held them to the trenches.
 1 Artillery engagements have fea- tured the fighting on the other parts of the line, although the French air craft have carried out bombing oper- ations. The German guns are keep ing up their heavy fire on the Ikskull bridehead. Further south the Teu- tons lost an infantry attack near Baranovichi, but were repulsed by the Russians. Still further south the Russians have captured Chromiakoua along the Rovno-Kovel railway and put down a counter attack which sought to regain the village.
 With the return of good weather infantry attacks are again in pro- gress along the Italian line, but nc important changes have taken place A massed Austrian attack in the Carso-Selz zone was put down with heavy losses, according to Rome.
 In Asia Minor south of Bitlis the Russians have dislodged the Turks from all their positions in the noun tains.

SCOTT ON THE WAY
 TO MEET OBREGOa
Question is Undecided Whether to Make Meeting Point in Fl PasO or in Juarez, Latter Not Unfavorable to Americans.

San Antonio, April 27.-Major General Scott was on his way tonight to El Paso to discuss with General Obregon, Carranza minister of war, questions incident to the presence of American troops in Mexico. Accom- panied by Major General Funston, General Scott left here at $50 o'clock tonight. They should arrive at Fl Paso tomorrow at o'clock.
 Just what Generals Scott and Fun ston are to discuss and just what propositions they will make remained unknown here tonight, except to the two officers. It was assumed that General Obregon also has received special instructions to guide him in the conference, and little credence was given the official report that General Obregon was prepared to demand that definite time be set for the with drawal of the American troops.
 It was not anticipated that all would be adjusted after one brief talk with General Obregon. It was regarded as more likely the first conference would be merely one of series and the in- tervals might be long enough for both General Obregon and General Scott to communicate with their res pective governments regarding the various suggestions made
 General Scott has not pienary pow CTS and it is not believed that Obre> gon has authority to enter into an agreement without first submitting it to Carranza. It was believed here that the conferences probably would take place in Juarez, the Mexican town opposite Fl Paso.
 It is understood the government has no objection to Scott and Fun ston meeting Obregon on Mexican soil and it was realized General Obre- gon might not carry on the discus sions on American soil. General Funston is acquainted with General Obregon. but Scott has never seen him.
 Reports from General Pershing to- day were of routine character.

APPARENTLY TIED UP DISP0SITiON OF PAPERS
Government Authorized Release of Papers to VOn BernstOrff if
 He or Some One Responsible
 Will Identify Their Character

Washington, April 27.-The state department and the German embassy apparently are at a deadlock over the disposition of papers seized by fed eral agents when they raided the of- fees in New York of von Igle. The state department is willing to return the papers as demanded by the Ger man ambassador if he or some other responsible official will identify them as official. Count von Bernstorff in- sists on having all of the documents removed from the office, and refused positively to identify them unless in- structed to do so by his government.
 Both Count von Bernstorff and John B. Stanchfield, counsel for von lgle in the criminal proceedings against him, called on Councilloi' Polk today The ambassador dis cussed the case of von Igle informal ly, but did not ask for the papers. He said later his visit had not chang ed the situation in the slightest de- gree. Mir. Stanchfield also engaged in an informal discussion of the case.
 It was said at the department that Councillor Polk declined to enter in- to any negotiations with him, on the ground that he was not clothed with diplomatic authority. MT. Stanch- field returned to New York this af- ternoon accompanied by von Igle, who came to- Washington for the pur- pose of identifying as official the pa pers taken from him, should the state department agree to the proceedings.
 Regarding published reports that the state department had made pos sible the capture of Sir Roger Case ment by turning over information to the British government, Secretary Lansing said emphatically today that the department had no knowledge of the expedition until Sir Roger had been captured. In other quarters, it was said, there was nothing in the papers taken from von Igle which would have shown that such an expe- dition was on foot.

c,rsider Passage of Act Great inp Office State Fire Marshal Indiana Fire Marshal De-
 l;vered Interesting Address.

Little Rock, April 2S.-The annual ..0vention of insurance agents ad-
 ,urued this afternoon after a two
 svs session. Many matters of vital irnortance to the interests of the ,tate were considered. Chief among hese is the passage of an act creating be office of state fire marshal, which viu be submitted to the next session l d the Legislature.
 w. E. Longley, who is serving as be first fire marshal of Indiana, ad- messed the convention, and told of inc operation of the law in that state. He says that it is accomplishing much n the way of reducing fire hazards. The law was passed two years ago, After the insurance companies oper- ,ting in the state had agreed to pay the expenses They were assessed S5OOO for it, and pay it gladly be-
 suse it has the effect of greatly re-
 iucng the risks.
 There are three departments of the
 ire marshals office, said MT. Long, Hey One is that of inspection of haz- srds the regulation of moving pie
 lure shows, and the storage of gaso-
 lne Another is the legal depart Dnent, which looks after the investi- gston of suspicious fires and the
 prosecution of arson cases. Many stOnvctons have been secured, and
 several dangerous arson trusts have been broken up. The statistical and
 educatonal department is teaching
 Ae people cooperation in the insur- .iace of property, and the reduction Ri fire hazards.
 President Joe C. Meyers of Helena
 recommended the passage of state
 Ire marshal law, an agents qualifi-
 'ahon law, a desirable resident agents law, and the repeal of the valued policy law and the law allow ng penalties and damages. He also called attention to the fact dual agen- aes, overhead writing, etc, are still important questions, and must be handled in time to come.
