luton upholding President Wilson's
action in breaking off diplomatic re-
lations with Germany, passage by the
houSe of a memorial to congress urg-
ing universal compulsory military
training. and passage also by the
house of the ''bone dry law with
only IS opposing votes. and the forest
fire bill compelling all timber own
ers to Join in fire protection. are the
outstanding features of the current
week in the Legislature.
Considered of almost equal import
ance was the public hearing Thurs
day evening on first aid legislation,
attended by representatives Of en-
ployers and employees from all parts
Of the state. Likewise the action Of
the house Thursday in sustaining. on
second reading, the bill ordering COM
pulsory military training in the high
schools of the state against all at
tack, was considered Of prime I'm
portance a. indicating that the meas
ure would probably be adopted ON
final passage.
The house memorial to congress
relative to compulsory military train
ing. in which It is declared that the
volunteer system has beeh failure.
is pending in the senate, no action
having been taken on 1t there. Like
wise the "bone-dry" bill. which went
through the house with considerable
hurrah, is pending in the senate. but
the general expectation is that it will
pass that body by q substantial ma
jority.
Report Of the joint committee "a
voring the first aid bill is expected in
time to permit action upon It in the
house the fore part Of next week.
With It disposed Of and the educa-
tional fight out Of the way, the chief
issue Of the session remaining is the
amount Of the biennial appropria-
tions. Agreement has been reached
on the millage tax for the state edu-
cational institutions, a half q mill
higher than in the past, and an
agreement has been virtually reached
on the military tax.
The fire protection bill passed by
the house Thursday is copy Of the
Oregon law, recommended by State
Forester Fred e. Pape, and requires
timber owners to join in the work of
preventing forest fires.

urged caution, being determined that
there should be no word or deed to
merit a reproach, even from Germany
herself. He directed that nothing be
done which is not fully justified by
the laws of nations and humanity;
nothing be done for expediency;
nothing be done which is not legal
and Just.
With a hope for peace and a readi-
ness to meet war II 1t must be, the
president made it clear to all his Off
cials that the course of the United
States, difficult as it is, must be en-
tirely beyond criticism.
To that end, German rights and
property in the United States have
full protection OF law and the presi-
dent wishes every American citizen
to forbear from any thought or act
which might lead this country nearer
to war.
Meanwhile the work of co-ordinat-
ing the nations resources has been
going seadily forward each day.
Likewise state after state has pledged
support and is making preparations
in line with war department sugges-
tions.
Tho president has suggested to all
the other neutrals that they break

doorstep of Germany, threatened by

take such a step. The effect of the
suggestion in other countries is being
eagerly awaited.
The Washington state legislature
Monday adopted a resolution pledging
the states resources to the president.
Governor Lister also issued the fol-
lowing statement on behalf of his ad-
ministration and the state:
"The great problem now presented
in connection with the European sit
uation is in the hands of the presi-
dent. The people Of the State Of
Washington have confidence in him,
and believe him able to adequately
cope with It. It IL the duty Of every
American to stand squarely with the
president in this crisis"
One of the striking events of the
week was the senate's endorsement
of the presidents action in severing
relations with Germany, by
a vote Of 78 to s after five hours of
debate. The senators who opposed

 Young Rector. Then he met Jimmy Paul in an exhibition bout which went six rounds without a knockout. Leonard's next fight was against Phil Bloom, whom he knocked out. He followed with knockouts over Leo
 Johnson, Eddie Dorsey and Vic Mor- an which was followed by his ten
 round,' no decision bout with Jack Britton.

 gond for six rounds, but failed to stop him. On the succeeding nigh. Leonard met Young Erne of Buffalo, 1 and lambasted him for six rounds. l with the loser keeping his feet till i the last gong.

 scoreless-Both Teams Pass Up
 Splendid Opportunities to Score
 Touchdowns.
 New York, Nov. 7.-Opportunity knocked often for both New York University and Trinity College in their eridiron battle on Ohio Field yester- day, but 1t knocked in vain. When the final whistle sounded it found both as far from a score as at the start, and the ancient gridiron rivals had to be content with fighting to a scorelesS tie.
 Twice in the third period Trinity hammered the Violet back into the shadow of it's goal posts. One roseate Trinity chance of scoring went glim- mering when Nordstrom failed in a field goal attempt from the 30 yard line. Another prospective Trinity tally faded away when the Connecti- cut Trinity pushing collegians, push ing the Bronxonians back to the Vio- let's 15 yard line. lost the ball on . tumble by Ramsey.
 The third quarter ended with tho Violet in possession of the ball on Trinity's IS yard line. The stage was set for the Violet to score in the fourth period, but the New York Uni- versity rooters were doomed to disap- pointment. Twice Capt. Sokolower's s eleven was on the threshold of vic- tory, but each time something hap pened and Violet hopes dropped lower than the dropping plumes of tie Vio- let belles.
