GERARD EXPLAINS
POSITION ON CENSORS
Correspondents We're Stirring
Trouble Between the Two
Countries
By Carl w. Ackerman.

Omitted Press staff correspondent.)
Berling, Aug. 1S.-The fight on Am
bassador Gerard launched by several
German newspapers because of his al
legged utterances regarding the German
censorship, appeared to be subsiding to-
day.
The Moargenpost alone of the newspa-
pers that joined in the attack yesterday
renewed its criticism today. The Nor
genpost s editor, however, contented
himself largely with reiterating the
hope that the German government
would investigate Gerard's alleged at
titude.
Gerard made frank statement of his
position in talk with the American
correspondents. He explained his reas-
ons for not giving his approval of the
complaints regarding the British censor
ship sent to Washington by certain cor
respondents here. He explained that by
their action these correspondents were
inviting trouble between the United
States and Germany.

THIRD OREGON MAY
HAVE HIGH. SCHOOL
Chaplain Gilbert Suggests
This As Means Of Giving
ihe Boys a Chance

High school classes may be establish
ed in the Third regiment Oregon infan'
try now in camp at Palm city, Cali
fornia.
1t is thought that the regiment will
not return to Oregon before Christmas,
and possibly will not return before
spring.
These points are brought out in a let
ter just received by State Superinten-
dent of Public Instruction Churchill
from Chaplain Gilbert of the Third reg
iment. In view of the likelihood that
the regiment is to remain on the bordei
for number of months yet, Chaplain
Gilbert suggests that high school class
es be organized for the benefit of the
numerous high school students in the
regiment who do not wish to leave the
regiment and yet are anxious to get
their credits toward graduation.
Chaplain Gilbert is former high
school instructor, and is perfectly will
ing to assume the supervision of the
work if the plan meets with the com
mendation Of the state superintendent.
There are in the regiment a sufficient
number of high school instructors to
meet all the requirements of the plan.
The suggestion has met with the
hearty approval of the state superinten'
dent, who has sent letter to Chaplain
Gilbert stating that he will make ar
rangements with the various high
school principals and city superinten-
dents throughout the state to give cred.
its towards graduation to the pupils in
thase rppimpntaI classes In this let
ter Superintendent Churchill takes oc-
casion to say that he is very proud of
every high school boy who has made a
great sacrifice by putting behind him
the opportunity to complete his educa-
tion and giving himself to the service of
his country. 1t is the opinion of the su'
perintendeht that Chaplain Gilbert has
started something.

|NFANT|[E PARALYSIS
INCREASES IN CHICAGO
Eighty Cases This Month and
Disease Spreading---Many
Adults Attacked

Chicago, Aug. lS.-Infantile paraly-
sis is increasing in Chicago to an
charming extent. Eighty known cases
have been reported this month, it was
admitted today by health department
officials and spread of the disease is
continuing. They deny, however, that
the malady is epidemic.
At the county hospital it was ad-
mitted today there are sixty one cases
quarantined and emergency prepare
tions are being made to receive a mucl
greater number.
An average of three patients day
is being received and the procession
is increasing rather than diminishing.
Three of the victims at the county hos
pital are adults.
That the mysterious plague is spread
ing is indicated by the fact that with
very few exceptions, none of the eases
come from the same locality. DIR. Hen.
ry b. Thomas, an infantile paralysis
specialist declared that "wbile the sit
uation should cause no great alarm, It
is the gravest we have had in years
:. Three new cases were discovered to-
day bringing the total number discover
ed thus far at 80.

out of the Virginia capes on the night

Gus sea serpent and the more recent

San Francisco, Aug. lS.-A rousing
welcome was extended to Presidential
Candidate Charles Evans Hughes this
afternoon when he and his party ar
rived at the ferry at 1850 to begin a
two day visit to the bay cities.
Mayor ROlph of San Francisco, and
a large number Of republican notables
met the republican nominee at the fer
ry building and presented him with the
formal greetings Of San Francisco and
Oakland.
Little time was lost in formalities,
however, for the candidate had to hur-
ry to "make connections" with the va
rious affairs in which he was scheduled
to participate during the afternoon.
After he had been escorted to his
headquarters at the Palace hotel, Hughes
was permitted to take snort rest be-
fore going to the Union League club,
where, at 2:45, he stood in the reception
line and demonstrated his ability as
handshaker. He was scheduled to re-
main at the Union League club only half
an hour, as one of the most important
addresses of his whole trip was set for
$3.50 when he will speak to the women
of San Francisco. 1t was expected that,
in this address. he would reiterate his
announcement in favor of federal en-
abling act, permitting the states to vote
on constitutional amendment extend
ing suffrage to women.
The mass meeting at the Civic Au-
ditorium will be one of the largest
Hughes has addressed on his present
trip. William II. Crocker, republican
national committeeman, will preside and
most of the republican celebrities OF
California will be seated on the plat
form.

Mrs. Hughes Speech.

Benecia, Cal, Aug. 1S.-Mrs. Charles
Evans Hughes made her first campaign
speech today. 1t wasn't very long
one and she didn't attempt to argue any
of tho questions of the day-but her
husband, the presidential candidate
himself. would have been proud to have
evoked the applause she did. Hughes
spoke briefly to the crowd from the rear
end of his private car and in conclusion,
turned to Mrs. Hughes and the crowd
and introduced her.
"This is Mrs. Hughes" he said.
"She is not going to make q speech,
but she does much better than that. "
Mrs. Hughes smiled greeting and in
a clear voice responded to the intro
duction thus:
"Mrs. Hughes is making her first po-
litical campaign"
"May it not be her last, " came from
some one in the crowd.
