The widest possible search for just
this information is now under way by
New York authorities. Officials indi-
Gated today that the new government in
quisitorial powers conferred in the trad
ing with the enemy act might be turn
ed over for the president exclusively
toward running down the "leadso al
ready uncovered in the Deutsches bank.
ga thorough investigation of the
books and dealings of the Deutsches
bank and the activity of Hugo Schmidt
offers an unlimited field for the Unit
ed States authorities which has not
been exploited, said Attorney General
Lewis of New York today. Lewis has
been specifically entrusted with the
preliminary investigation by the state
and the government, as well as by the
French ambassador who is interested in
the matter because of the completely
of Bolo Pasha.
Investigation Searching
"We a1e leaving no stones unturn-
ed" Albert Becker, deputy attorney
general, told the United Press, "to un-
cover the whole matter and have found
many crossing trails. A report Of all
information we obtain regarding other
financial transactions Of suspicious
character is being made directly to
Washington. 1t was not definitely dis
closed today whether Attorney Gener-
al Lewis has been authorized to go fur
ther than investigate the Bolo Pasha
intriguing, which he formally disclos-
cd last night. This showed that Bern
storff, through financial transfers, clev-
erIy cloaked through the Deutsches
bank, had paid Bolo Pasha nearly 81
800 900 for influencing the French press
"The system Of German propaganda
needed a strong financial backing,
Perley Morse said. "The best way Of
tracing the whole scheme in my mind,
is through the money end. -
What makes the investigation OF inn
mediate and prime Importance as war
measure is the belief limited at by Off
Gals today that Bernstorff was only
one of active heads of the German es-
pionage and propaganda system.
Through full investigation, it is hoped
that other agents may be unearthed.
French Kept Informed
Attorney General Lewis is examining
many witnesses at his headuarters in
the Murray Hill hotel. Some of this
testimony is directly in line with the
Bolo Pasha case and is being transmit
ted to the French government for use
against the Levantine agent, now held
in strict custody at Paris. Other wit
nesses, it became known, are being cross
examined for the purpose of eliciting
information Of all the Deutsches bank
transactions. Among those of the latter
, class who were expected to be examin-
ed was Hugo Schmidt himself. Lewis
refused to say what Schmidt would be
questioned about. Other officials today
pointed out that the selection of q
banking institution as the fountain of
German gold from which streams were
to be diverted for propaganda was ex-
eeedingly clever, because behind the
screen of the banks heavy business the
trail would be lost.

British Troops Capture
All Objectives Today

London, Oct. 4.-British troops have
captured all cbjectives today on a front
of 10000 yards, reaching a maximum
depth of $500 yards, declared General
Maurice, director of operations this af
/ ternoon in disclosing what appeared to
be Field Marshal Haig's greatest Of
all drives.
"Broodseinde is among the villages
taken today.
'fIn the nine months ending Septem.
Der 30," General Maurice told the I'm.
tied Press, "the British on the west
front captured LABS men. 332 field
heavy guns and lost Is, 5,055 men and nc
guns.
Sin all theatres of war the British
captured 72,513 men and 470 guns and
lost 1906 men in prisoners and nc
guns.'
General Maurice's statement indi.
Gates today's drive is perhaps the
greatest of all the offensive blows yet
aimed at the German lines.
Sixteen thousand yards would mean
a battle front of more than nine miles
A penetration of $500 yards would
mean more than mile gain into the
German-held territory by the British
forces.
Broodseinde is about half mile be.
yond Zonnebeke, almost in the center
of the great Ypres sector. 1t lies slight
ly below the YpresRoulers railroad
along which Haig has by his three last
offensive blows been steadily advanc
ing toward the main German line OF
communications on the Belgian coast.
Presumably the nine mile front runs
almost along the line of where Haig
last struck, approximately from Lange
marck to the Confines canal around
Hollebeke.

University Functions.

What is the matter with our univer-
stiles is that all the students are
schoolboys, whereas it is of the very
essence of university education that
they should be men, writes George
Bernard Shaw. The function of uni
versity is not to teach things that can
now be taught as well or better by
university extension lecturers or by
private tutors or modern correspond
ence classes with gramophones. We
go to them to be socialized; to acquire
the hall mark of communal training
to become citizens of the world in
stead of inmates of the enlarged rab-
bit hutches we call homes to learn
manners and become interchangeable
ladies and gentlemen. The social pres
sure which effects these changes
should be that of persons who have
faced the full responsibilities of adults
as working members of the general
community, not that of barbarous rab-
BILE of half emancipated schoolboys and
unemancipatable pedants.

Growing a Character.

Character is what you are. Repu-
tation is what folks think you are.
Sometimes they are so well balanced
that you can't tell one from the 9TH
er, says Grit. But more often the one
is a libel on the other. Folks exalt
virtues that do not exist and condemn
follies that are purely subjective and
personal. Much depends on who re-
ports you. Friends are always chari-
table and interpret our lives to best ad-
vantage. Enemies can see no good in
us and report as they see. So repu-
tation may flatter or condemn. Not
so with character. This is something
beyond external observation. 1t is the
life itself as lived amidst its motives
and obstacles. Few people can know
its real value, for even you do not al
ways know just what you are capable
of being until the emergency demands
display your worth. What you are in
the face of severe testing is character.

CALLS BOYS TO THE COL0RS
President Wilson Asks All Between
Ages of Sixteen and Twenty-one
to Join Working Reserve.

Young men of the country between
the ages of sixteen and twenty-one, not
now employed, are called upon by
President Wilson to serve the nation
by joining the United States Boys
Working reserve. In letter made
public by Secretary Wilson of the la
Dor department, the president says 1t
is the patriotic duty of these young
men to use their spare time in produc-
tive work and help support the nation
in the present Crisis. The presidents
letter follows:
Permit me to express my great ap-
probation of the great work underta-
ken by the United States Boys Work
ing reserve of the employment service
of the department of labor. To give to
the young men between the ages of six
teen and twenty-one the privilege of
spending their spare time in productive
enterprises without interrupting their
studies at school, while their older
brothers are battling in the trenches
and on the seas, must greatly increase
the means of providing for the forces
at the front and the maintenance of
thOes whose services are needed here.
1t is a high privilege. no less than
patriotic duty, to help support the ma
ton by devoted and intelligent work in
this great crisis.
LET me express the hope that the
young men of the country not now per-
manently employed may eagerly enter
the Boys Working reserve to fit them
selves by training and study for good
citizenship and productive service. In
this way they can show themselves
worthy of patriotic fathers who have
fought for democracy in the past, sus-
tain their patriotic brothers who are
fighting for it today, and command the
affectionate pride of the brave mothers
who are silently bearing the burdens
at home"

German People Not Permitted to
Read Full Text of Presi-
dents Address.
EFFECT ON PUBLIC FEARED
Copy Issued by Committee on Public
Information Shows important
Passages That Were
Suppressed.

The German government did not
dare to communicate to the Ger
man people the full text of Presi-
dent Wilson's war message of
April 2, 1917. II feared the influ-
enoe which the unabridged text
Of this message might have upon
the opinion of the people. There
fore the official message of the
president of the United States
was presented to Germany in an
abridged and distorted form.
The committee on public infor-
nation of the United States gov
ernment has prepared a copy of
this message showing the pas
sages which were suppressed in
the report of the Wolff Telegraph
bureau when the message Of the
president was published to the
whole world. These passages are
shown in bold-faced type in the
following copy of the message.
The Wolff Telegraph bureau is not
only under censorship control of
the German government, but has
been consistently employed by the
government for the promulgation
of official opinions.

bombs and gunfire, in an air raid,
emerged from his hotel with his wife,
relates the London Chronicle. In the

able police constable If it was 'all

were eager sightseers, said, "Well. I'm

Bad Women
Leave Astoria

To protect the physical condition
of the Oregon Coast Artillery troops
now stationed at Fort Stevens, all
houses of i'll fame were closed in AS
toria last Monday. More than sixty
women of the underworld received
short notice from the police to pack
their belongings and leave the city
Immediately.
Under the impression that the trou-
BILE in Astoria would soon pass over,
the women left for Seaside, where
they intended to stay until things
quiet down in Astoria. Arriving in
Seaside, the women were given orders
by the authorities there to keep on
the move, and as result Portland
is now the home of number Of these
unfortunate women.
It is said on good authority that
the officials at Astoria were informed
by government men that the houses
of i'll fame would be compelled to
close and the use Of troops was
threatened should the Astoria au-
thorities be lax in taking action.

him any credit for it.
Some men demonstrate that they

The farmers can't raise enough
