 WASHINGTON, Feb. B. The last word received by the govern men. from Ambassador Gerard was dated Berlin. February al 2 p. m.--he is now allowed to communicate here only indirectly through Copenhagen and without code-and Gndenied reports that that he has been detained are causing much uneasiness here. The reports say both he and Am erican consuls in Germany are being detained because of fears on the part of Germany for Am bassador Bsrnstorffs safety, al- though assurances already have been given Germany.

WASHINGTON. Feb. S.-The Am erican government still is without evi- dence of an overt act by Germany considered necessary to justify Presi- dent Wilson in going before congress to get authority to protect American seamen and property.
 Sinking in Full Swing
 There no longer is any doubt that the ruthless submarine campaign is in full swing in defiance of the warn ing of the United States. Every where it is believed that if TO Ameri- can ship has been destroyed it Is be- cause American ships are lying idle in their harbOrs instead of plying their usual trade; if no American life has been lost il is entirely due to chance
 Our Technical Right
 It also is generally conceded that on the basis of preliminary reports. the torpedoing without warning of the messenger liner California with an American on board makes a clear cut case of technical violation of the rights of the United States.
 Much be Clear Cut Case
 President Wilson. however. is re- ported as determined not to plunge the country into war on a technicali- ty. When he moves it will be on com plete evidence of an outrage about which there can be no question Then he expects to have the American peo- pie and congress behind him.
 Another American Lost

FOIL PARIS COCHERS
United States Soldiers Prove MOI
to Be Easy Marks.
victImized at First, They Study Reou-
Iations and Now Pay Only
Legal Rates.

Paris.-Paris cabmen have not yet
decided whether the American SOL
diers will prove a welcome 'or ans In
welcome addition to their patrons.
When the men from across the sea first
arrived they were all hailed by the
cabmen as m%illionaires and the tips
they received were in keeping with the
reputation thus bestowed upon them.
But trust the Paris cocher to kill the
goose that lays a golden egg.
He practiced his old game of taking
the most indirect route to reach his
destination and never had any change
when rendered payment. At night if
no policeman was in sight he always
baked at taking an American uniform
without first extorting a promise to
pay a fixed price for the course,
which was at least twice his legal fare.
The Americans stood this imposition
for a time but finally got tired of being
continually bled. Now they give no
more than the French as a tip and as
they become better acquainted with
the city check the willy cabman when
he attempts to take them by round
about routes. They have solved the
night holdup by climbing into the cab
despite the protest&Jions of the cab
men. If it is not later than the hour
fixed for him to quit work he must
take them at the regular fare where
they wish to go or drive to a police
station and justify his refusal.
AS the average cocher wants as little
to do with the police as possible, he
rarely if ever appeals to them.
At n of the ports used by the
Americans for landing troops the cab
charged the soldiers such exor-
bitant prices that the men went to the
police, obtained copies of the regula-
tons governing the cochers and there
paid only regular fares, giving
tips. The cochers retaliated by re-
fusing to take American soldiers as
passengers, and if the men got into a
cab anyhow they stopped dead where
they were and refused to move. 1t
was some days before a compromise
was reached.

READ FEWER BOOKS;
AND KNIT MORE SOCKS

EUGENE-War knitting has sup
planted reading to a considerable ex-
tent among the University OF oregon
girls, Mrs. NJ. F. McClain, head OF
the library loan desk said today.
Requests for books from women are
now much less than from men, Mrs.
McCIain points out, owing to the de-
crease in the women's calls for vol
umes.
1T takes a skilled knitter to read
Galesworthy and make a sock at the
same time," she declared. For that
reason, the girls are reading period

swers passing between the girl and a
trance medium, whom she never saw
and who was supposed to live at 2O16

One Of these communications from

Dale asked her to run away with him.

basic qualities Of soldier.
Loyalty.
A soldiers loyalty governs, first OF
all, his feelings and actions toward his
country, his government and his flag
There can be no such thing as hallway

But a soldiers loyalty doe, not stop

the officers under whom he serves II
absolutely forbids disobedienoe among
both officers and enlisted men. or dis
respect toward those in authority.
Going a step farther, loyalty governs
also the soldiers feelings and actions
toward his own regiment. his own com
pany and his own squad. Without thi,
form OF loyalty there can be no real
comradeship, without IT you will never
feel that personal pride and satisfaction
in the service which shonld mean so
much in your army life
Obedience.
The second. OF the soldiers basic
qualities is obedience. based on dis
cipline. Without obedience and dis
cipline an army can not long continue
to exist; it will quickly degenerate in
