For Vocational Education.

"The national congress has recent
ly enacted law known as the Smith
Hughes law for encouraging in the
various states the teaching of vOca-
tfOnal Subjects" said State Superin-
tendent Cary in an interview. "These
subjects include agriculture, home
economics and trade. The various
states of the Union must enter into an
obligation to match dollar for dollar,
the money offered by the federal gov
eminent, in order to get the benefit Of
this fund. There is to be q federal
board to administer the fund and there
must be some sort of state board to CO.
operate with the federal board. The
maximum amount that the state of
Wisconsin could get next year is $751;
$50 and in order to get this amount of
money the legislature would have to
appropriate an equal amount from the
state treasury. This amount increases
year by year until it amounts annually
for the state of Wisconsin to $176,0OO,
or for a period of ten years, it will
amount in the aggregate to over
81, 900. OOO.'

JOINT SESSION OF
LEGISLATURE HELD.
unprecedented Meeting of Both
Branches of the Assembly.
INDUSTRIAL EDUCATION UP
House Finally Passes the Evjue Liquor
Referendum Bill by a Vote of So
to 37-Now Goes to Senate
for Action.

Madison.-When both houses met in
the assembly chamber to hear argu-
ments about industrial education it
marked an event without precedent
since Wisconsin became q state.
First the assembly adopted resolu-
ton calling for a joint committee of
the whole. When 1t reached the senate
1T was discovered that there was no
such procedure in the rule book, and
the senate changed it to joint con-
ventiOn. 1t finally resulted that while
Lieutenant Governor Dithmar and
Speaker Whittet presided in dignifed
state, with the clerks at their posts, the
senators and assemblymen were alb.
sent, there being no rule to require.
their presence. Members Of the COM.
mfttees occupied front seats and WIS.,.
itors sat in the members seats.
The bills discussed embrace about all
the theories of industrial education.I
superintendent Cary opposed one IA
vOred by Dean Birge, representing
President Van Hise, which divorces the
industrial education work from the
work of the schools, and gives the
state board of industrial education the
control. It is the contention of those
in favor of the bill that capital and
labor know best how to conduct indus
trial and vocational educational insti-
educators should be in charge.

It Is a distressing and oppressive
duty, gentlemen of the congress,
which I have performed in this ad-
dressing you. There are, it may be.
many months of fiery trial and sac

But the right is more precious

Austria Hungary
Not Included in Talks.

ments allied with the imperial Ger
man government because they have
not made war upon us or challenged
us 70 defend our rights and our hon
or. The AustrO-Hungarian govern
ment has indeed aVowed its unquali-
fled endorsement and acceptance of
the reckless and lawless submarine
warfare adopted now without dis
guise by the imperial German gov
eminent and it has therefore not
been possible for this government TO
receive Count TarnOwski. the am
bassadOr recently accredited TO this

actually engaged in warfare against
citizens of the United states on the

present at least, of postponing a dis
cussion of our relations with the au-
thorities at Vienna We enter this
war only where we are clearly
forced into il because there are no
other means of defending our rights.
IL will be all the easier for us to
conduct ourselves as belligerents in
a high spirit Of right and fairness
because we act without animus, not
in enmity towards a people or with
the desire 10 bring any injury or dis
advantage upon them. but only in
armed opposition 10 an irrespOnSi-
bic government which has thrown
aside all considerations of humanity
and OF right and is running amuck
We are, let me say again the sin
cere friends of the German people,
and desire nothing so much as the
early establishment of intimate re-
latiOns of mutual advantage between
us-however hard it may be for
them, for the time being. to believe
that this is spoken from our hearts.
We have borne with their present
government through all these bitter
months because Of that friendship
exercising a patience and forbear-
ance which would otherwise have
been impossible. We shall happily.
still have an opportunity 10 prove
that friendship in our daily attitude
and actions towards the millions of
men and women of German birth
and native sympathy who live
amongst us and share our life. and
we shall be proud TO prove il to-
wards all who are in fact loyal 70
their neighbors and 10 the govern
ment in the hour of test. They are.

Americans as if they had never
known any other fealty or anegi-
ance. They viii be prompt to stand

New Policy Sweeps
All Restrictions Aside.

The new policy has swept every
restriction aside. Vessels Of every
kind whatever their flag. their char
acteT their cargo. their destination.
their errand. have been ruthlessly
sent to the bottom without warning
and without thought of help or
mercy for those on board the vessels
OF friendly neutrals along with those
OF belligerents. Even hospital ships
and ships carrying relief TO the be-
reaved and stricken people of Bel
ciuln, though the latter were prOvid-
ed with safe conduct through the
prescribed areas by the German gov
eminent itself, and were distinguish
ed by unmistakable marks of iden-
tity. have been sunk with the same
reckless lack of compassion OF OF
principle.
I was for a little while unable to
believe that such things would in
fact be done by any government
that had hitherto subscribed to the
humane practices Of civilized ma
lions. International law had its ORR
gin in the attempt TO set up some
law. which would be respected and
observed upon the seas. where no
nation had right of dominion and
where lay the free highways OF the
world. BY painful stage after stage
has that law been built up with
meagre enough results, indeed, aft
er all was accomplished that could
Zoe accomplished. but always with a
clear view. at least. of what the
heart and conscience OF mankind
demanded.
This minimum Of right the Ger
man government has swept aside
under the plea of retaliation and
necessity. and because il had no
weapons which il could use at sea
except these. which il is impossible
TO employ as il is employing them
without throwing 20 the winds all
scruples Of humanity or of respect
for the understandings that were
supposed TO underlie the intercourse
OF the world.

WASHINGTON. April 3.--The

Il have called the congress into

nor constitutionaly permissible that
] should assume the responsibility
OF making.
"On the third Of February last. 1
officially laid before you the extra
ordinary announcement Of the i'm
periai German government that on
and after the first day Of February
IL was its purpose 20 put aside all
restraints Of law, or Of humanity and
use it's submarines to sink every
vessel that sought 20 approach either
the ports Of Great Britain and Ire
land or the ives an coast Of Europe.
or any Of the b.fts controlled by
the enemies Of Germany within the
Mediterranean. That had seemed TO
be the object OF the German sub
marine warfare earlier in the war,
but since April Of last year the i'm
periaI government had somewhat
restrained the commanders of its
undersea craft in conformity with
its promise then given TO us mat
passenger boats should not be sunk.
and that due warning would be
given 10 all other vessels. which
submarines might seek % destroy,
when no resistance was offered or
escape attempted, and care taken
that their crews were given at least
q fair chance to save their lives in
their open boats. The precautions
taken were small and haphazard
enough, as was proved in distress
ing instance after instance i'm the
progress OF the cruel and unmanly
business but q certain degree of re-
straint was observed.

UNIVERSITY GIRLS TO
Do THEIR PART IN WAR
Sophomore Co.Eds Volunteer For
First Aid and Nursing-Men
Equipped For Special
Service.

University of Oregon. Eugene
March, 21.-Women of the Univer-
sity of Oregon are not behind the
men of the institution IN their desire
10 be of service to the country in case
OF war. This is indicated in res
ponses given by girls of the sopho-
more class to requests for data to be
supplied the war department.
Blanks for this information were
distributed among the various class
eS this week. 1t had not been in
tended to present them to the girls,
but number that happened to reach
the sophomore women were signed in
a way that indicated a real willing
ness to serve. Most of the igrls ex-
pressed preference for work in first
aid, nursing or cooking. Many of
them evinced willingness to begin
service at moments notice.
The collection of the data con-
corning students and alumni avail
able for service is being handled by
Ben. H. Williams, representing the
Intercollegiate Intelligence Bureau,
which is working under the direction
Of the war department. Mr.. Will
liams is assisted by joint faculty
and student committee, consisting of
DR.. Warren D. Smith, DR.. E. c. Rob-
bins, Don Belding. of Grants Pass,
and Lewis Beebe, of Eugene.
The responses made by the men of
the University indicate a considera-
BILE variety of talent available for
the service to the government. A
mong the special lines of work for
which Oregon men would volunteer
are aviation, motor driving, ambul-
ance work wireless operating, medi-
cine, dentistry, map-reading, and a
wide-range of scientific activities.
Information is being collected on the
age, physique, military or naval
training, hobbies, athletic activities
and qualifications for special of the
men of the University This infor-
nation has not yet been complied,
but enough has been learned to indi-
cate very general disposition to res
pond to any call made by the govern
ment. The replies appear to indi-
cate a wider knowledge of Spanish
than of any other foreign language,
but German seems to stand next.
