Normal School Letter

To the Home Makers of Madison and Lake County:
The Normal School located in your midst was
organized and is maintained primarily to prepare
young people for teaching, but in connection with
this function, rather as a feature in this activity, the
institution maintains departments of instruction
having laboratory facilities and scientific apparatus.
The teacher sin charge of these departments can
often help the public in scientific service without
in the least impairing their other work, that of
class instruction, to resident students. Our Agri-
cultural department has for several years given
proof of this fact and is doing considerable to help
those engaged in agriculture to improve farm meth
DDS and processes.
Our Department of Chemistry now comes for
ward with an offer to give courses of lectures dur
ing the current summer term on Chemistry of
Foods and Conservation of the same with special
reference to the needs of the hosekeeper. These
lectures will be an elementary presentation of APP
piled Chemistry to household arts. They should
prove invaluable at this critical time to every house
keeper in the county. Our plan is to offer two of
these lectures per week, on Tuesdays and on Thurs
day, at either 10 a. m. or 3 p. m, as may be most
convenient for those interested. We shall be
obliged to charge a small fee to those who enroll,
but not more than $1oo for the term. No other
charge will be made. Those interested may apply
at the Executive Office for enrolment cards and
work will begin next Tuesday if there is is any
demand for this service which justifies CARRYING out
the program herein outlined.

Washington, Nov. G.-America and
Japan have entered a formal agree
ment, reaffirming the open door poll
cy in China and recognizing Japan s
special interests, in that country.
The momentous pact, confirmed by
an exchange of notes between Secre-
tary Lansing and Viscount Ishii Of the
japanese mission, November 2, will go
down in history as one of the great de-
velopments of the world war.
In announcing the agreement today
Secretary Lansing plainly indicated it
would entirely remove an increasgly
critical situation developing between
the two countries
The pact recognizes Japan S special
interests in China, avows that China s
sovereignty shall not be impaired; pro-
Vides that there shall be no discrimin-
alton against the trade of other ma
tions. denies any intention to infringe
on China 's' territorial integrity. reaf-

1t may be stated semi-officially that
the pact is designed as blow to Ger
many efforts to ALLEVIATE Japan and
the United States.
In addition to the agreement on
China, Secretary Lansing announced
that a complete understanding has
been reached between the United
States and Japan regarding co-opera-
tion in the war, and that the question
of joint naval operations in the Pa
cific has been satisfactorily settled.
Secretary Lansing said the agree
ment docs not represent the establish
ment of "Monroe doctrine" in the
far east. 1t is much less selfish, he
said, than the Monroe doctrine which

Wet or DRY Man Issue.

His Mother Collapsed.

Evansville, Ind, Nov, 6.-When the
news of the death of james B. Gresham
in action IN France was broken to his
mother, Mrs Alice Dodd, here today, she
collapsed. The mother was shaken so by
.he news of the death of her son that
she was placed under a physician IS care.
Before the mother was told Of her
son IS death, she talked freely of him.
He enlisted four years ago, she
said. "He wasn't old enough, but L
signed the papers. He wrote every week
and recently sent me little silk hand

"Mrs. Dvdd, you know this is a war

glad to have her son give his life, even,

f'Yes,'f she answered. Then the light
died out of her eyes.

The mother seemed crazed for a lit

Note from Lansing
The text of Lansing's communities
ton follows:
Excellency: I have the honor TO
communicate herein my understanding
of the agreement reached by us in our
recent conversations touching on the
questions cf mutual interest to our
governments relating to the republic of
China.
"In order to silence mischievous rep
reservations, it is believed by us that
q public announcement once more of
the desires and intentions shared by
our two governments with regard to
China is advisable.
"The governments of the United
States and Japan recognize that terri
torial propinquity creates special rela-
tions between the countries and conse'
quently the government of the United
States recognizes that Japan has spe-
cial interests in China, particularly in
the part to which her possessions are
contiguous.
"The territorial sovereignty Of Chi
ma, nevertheless, remains unimpaired
and the government of the United
States has every confidence in the re-
peated assurances of the imperial Jap
anese government that while geograph-
ical position gives Japan such special
interests they have no desire to dis
criminate against the trade of other
nations, or to disregard the commercial
rights heretofore granted by China in
treaties with other powers.

Evening Was Last Pre-
paratOry Meeting
The big drive for 100000 hospital

The big drive for 100000 hospital
started this morning at 9 o'cloek.
Complete instructions were issued to
the colonels of the two divisions and
their captains at the banquet served
at the Marion hotel last evening.
Colonel Walter H. Denton and his
five captains and Col. o. L. Ferris with
his five chief supporters carefully went
over the work of today arranging in
detail the calls to be made by each in
order not to Duplicate the work.
At the banquet last evening, the
speakers were introduced by l. l.. Pat
terson, chairman of the executive COM
mittee. F. G. Deckebach, general cam
paign manager declared that for the
next three days he hoped that Salem
would not be a city of peace, but that
every man interested in the welfare of
Salem should be on the fighting line,
to secure that 100000 subscription. He
called attention to the fact that Salem
was a laggard when it come to hospital
facilities, compared to other cities in its
class in the state.
Having been operated on in almost
every hospital in the state, the Rev.
Robert S. Gill, acknowledged that he
knew something about hospitals and
that he felt he was good authority on
the subject. He called attention to the
many invalids that will undoubtedly re-
turn from the war and that as other
cities would have their own to care
for, there would be no place to send
them if Salem was not prepared. He also
noted that hospitals are always filled,
regardless of how many are built.
Short talks were made by II. e. Wit
ham, who is in charge Of the campaign.
Col. Walter A. Denton and Col. 0. L.
Ferris. Albert Egan sang and E. Cooke
Patton entertained the guests with his
slight of hand performance.
In order that the work might not be
duplicated, the leaders of the two divls-
ions were furnished with list of pros
poets that should be interested in new
hospital. The list included $50 Of the
prominent men and women Of the city.
The workers today put in their time
in general solicitations and the same
methods of working will carry them
over into Wednesday. Capital and labor
day is also for Wednesday. City en-
ployes and offices and business houses
viii be called on to contribute. Thursday
the last daT Of the campaign will be
devoted to going over the work again
in detail and rounding up those VINO
should have enough civic PRIDE to ald

After each days work, the colonels
of the two divisions and their workers
will meet to discuss work and arrange
plans for the next day.
The workers will meet and go out on
their soliciting at $3.50 each morning,

SENAT CHAMBERLN
DISCUSSED WAR TOPICS
BEFORE GREATCROWE

Senator Chamberlain spoke at the ar
mory last night to an audience that fill
cd that spacious building. As he enter
ed the hall with Senator McNary there
was burst of applause that must have
warmed the hearts of both. Senator Nc
Nary introduced the senator, if such
word can be used as applicable to one
SO well known as Senator Chamberlain,
who after few words of greeting to
his almost home-folks, and a foreeful
appeal in behalf of the hospital move
ment now on, gave some of the inside
history of affairs that led up to the
war.
He was on She big steamer Finland,
as the Lusitania sailed out of New York
harbor and as the great crowds on the
docks and on the shipping, waved good
bges, more than one remarked it was
ga last farewell for many of them. -
1t was told in New York that the ship
was to be torpedoed and this before
she left the barber. ADVERTISEMENTS were
inserted in some of the newspapers, it
developed later at the dictation of the
German authorities, warning Americans
especially women and children not to
take passage on the vessel. This shows
that the sinking of these innocent neu-
trails was premeditated, and premeditat-
ed murder of American CITIZENS at that,
and this when the countries were at
peace.
War Forced On Us.
President Wilson even after this still
hoped TO avoid war, but as promises
were broken and Americans killed on
the high seas, even he was forced to
realize that war was the only solution.
He had gone as far as honor and duty
would permit in trying to avoid a con-
fict with the German empire, and ask
ing congress to declare war he has
thrown all his great mind into the task
of carrying it to successful conclusion.
That conclusion is what we must all
assist in reaching. We must show our
patriotism by every sacrifice necessary,
no matter how great it may be. The red
bloojed young Americans who rushed in
response to their country s call must be
