This enunciation of purpose by the

precipitate a fight in Congress. A
number of the Republican leaders
who have learned of II are preparing
to block any resolution which in any
way ties the hands of this Govern
ment.
They characterize the Wilson plan
of pacifcation and withdrawal as
visionary. and assert that even
though It may be inaugurated on that
plan by a Democratic Administration,
1t Is apt to be concluded otherwise
by a Republican President.
1t Is probable that the fght to pre-
vent the tacking onto the war reso-
ing clauses which might later prove
embarra ssing to Justice Hughes,
should he be elected, will be lead by
Senator Harding of Ohio, chairman
of the Republican national conven-
tion, and a man who is rapidly loom
ers of the conservative element In
the Senate.
II is expected that number of
Southern Democrats do not share the
Presidents so-called idealistic views on
Latin-American affairs and will also
oppose the Administration plans II a
war resolution becomes necessary.
In event of an actual break with
Mexico IL is not expected that the mill
tia organization will see service south
of the border for several months. II is
figured at the War Department that
the situation will call for a heavy border
guard and that while functoning in
this fashion the militiamen will become
acclimated and be ready for real cam
paigninS by fall. In the meantime the
regulars and the fleet will be conduct

ment plans make necessary.

CALLS ON COLLEGES
FOR ARMY OFFICERS

The War Department issued orders to-
day paving the way for the appointment
OF honor graduates Of a numbar of coll
leges as second lieutenants in the army.
Orders previously issued provided that
graduates of certain designated colleges
which had courses in military science
and tactics were eligible for appoint
ment during the year OF their gradua-
ton. The restriction as to time was
removed by today's order. so that grad
yates of earlier years are made eligible.

from the organization of fourteen new

MOTHERHOOD IS NOT
FOR CULTURED WOMEN
St. Paul Woman Wants WO-
men Of Lower Class, to
Bear the Children

Seattle, Wash, May 6,-Motherhood
should be restricted to women of the
lower classes, who can bear children
with less sacrifice, is the statement
here today of Mrs. Robert Liggett, Of
St. Paul, "twilight sleep" lecturer,
here to discuss childbirth dangers with
club women.
Educated, cultured women should
not be allowed to be mothers" she de-
dared. "Science admits that their
heritage of nerves, temperament and
physical development makes propoga-
tion of life for them more dangerous
than to the members of the lower
classes"
Other startling statements by Mrs.
Liggett were:
"The old fashioned notion about the
sacredness Of motherhood is all bosh. "
"There can be no sacredness about a
thing in which there is so much which
its mother went through to give it
life.O
"Giving of life should be confined
to women of a lower type, who are not
so capable of suffering. They should
be selected for breeding, and kept from
all things intellectual. "
"There can be no sacredness about a
thing in which there is so much physical
suffering"
Mrs. Liggett declared that the prob
lem will be national issue before wo-
men in the near future.

mittee, went ON record favoring plans
to defeat the efforts Of the liquor in
terests in the state to modify he pres.

especially opposed to any change in the
present laws that would permit the sell
ing of liquor in hotels or restaurants.
They also took q stand on taxation,
opposing the present system of tax leg
islatiOn through the state legislature
and county administration. The domi.
nation of the Legislature by the Port
land members was opposed as being un-
desirable for the state, and in order
that committees may not be named by
the speaker, the convention favored the
election cf members Of al committees
by the Legislature by open vote.

the main points TO be discussed is that

EVERY ONE SHOULD
KNOW HOW TO SWIM

The coming of the summer swimming
season in Salem will bring with it a
desire on the part of the great mass
of people of the city for refreshment
through the medium Of bathing resorts,
rivers, swimming pools and watering
places of all descriptions. 1t seems ap-
propriate therefore, at this time that
a little space be given to the discus
sion of the necessity of learning how
to swim. In fact we shOuId say the
duty" of learning how to swim rath-
er than the necessity.
Oscar B. Gingrich, physical director
Y. NJ. C. A. says, relative to the "ne-
eessity of learning how to swim"
According to the United States cen
sus statistics, over seven thousand per-
sons lost their lives through drowning,
during the year 1913. 1t is estimated
that at least twenty-five per cent of all
young men and boys in the United
States over twelve years of age do not
know how to swim and when applied
to both sexes and all ages the percent
age is of course much larger.
DIR. Geo. j. Fisher, secretary of phys
ical education for the international
committee of Young Men S Christian
Associations gives the following as the
essential reasons for knowing how to
