Many DEFICIENCIES
ARE AUTHORIZED
BY STATE BOARD
Money Not Yet Collected To
The Sum Of $5ll.95 Will
Be Expended.

Deficiency appropriations totaliag
Sl64,450 were authorized by the state
emergency board at its meeting yester-
day afternoon. Since the last legislature
adjourned the emergency board has
now authorized deficiencies whicn ag-
gregate SSH $50.
The board did not allow all the re-
quests presented. 1t turned down en-
tirely a request from the state lime
board for an additional $1,000, this
board having been given $4,000 few
months ago, and it cut the penitentiary
appropriation from $40. 900 TO $4,000,
and took under advisement the request
of the Oregon Agricultural college for
funds to meet the emergency arising
from the great enrolment of student
soldiers until the opinion of the attor-
ney general can be obtained as to the
legality of allowing this request,
The request for funds for the o. A.
@. was presented by President W. j.
Kerr and J. X. WeatherfoId, president
of the board of regents. President Kerr
asked for a total of $43,43S to aid in
the construction of barracks, remodel
ing buildings and other improvements
and providing additional equipment
and teachers.
When members of the emergency
board objected to an item of $4,000 in
eluded in the total for aid in construct
ing barracks for the soldiers, President
Kerr volunteered to withdraw it from
his request and make arrangements
with friends of the college to finance
this construction work until the leg
islature can make appropriation fol-
it. This left q sum Of approximately
$37, 900 which President Kerr said the
college absolutely must have if it is
to perform the duties asked of it by
the war department and take care of
the students who are now on the cam.
pus.
Members of the board. with the ex-
ception of Senator Moser, expressed
their willingness to authorize the de-
ficiency if the board has legal author
ity to do so, but they were unanimous.
ly in favor of putting the matter up
to the, attorney general before any act
ion was taken. Secretary of State Oh
colt told them that he would issue no
certificates of indebtedness until after
the attorney general has passed on the
question. If the attorney general 8
opinion is favorable, the board will be
called into session again probably next
Wednesday.
This request was considered to be
different from the others allowed for
the reason that the last legislature had
made no appropriation at all for the
purposes for which the deficiency is
now desired.

MARSHAL FOCH STRIKES.
TO BRING WATERLOO
TOCERNAN NILITARISE
Planning For Blow That VIII
Destroy Germanys Last
Vistage Of Hope.

Washington, Oct. lO.-Foch is strik-
ing to bring upon Germany a semb-
lance of Waterloo to emphasize allied
determination for unqualified peace.
The spectacular victory on the west
front will carry to Germany more than
anything else to date the futility of
her dreams of conquest.
Napoleon, after two great disasters,
rose again and was not vanquished un-
til his Waterloo. Germany must not be
given even the opportunity to rise
again in her military might, army men
declare.
Already the smashing has reached
the German people. According to re-
ports to this government, public Opin-
ion, which was counting on a stop at
the Hindenburg line, "is seriously af-
leeted." There is feverish recruiting
every where ia Germany.
All exempted are taken. Workmen
are replaced by prisoners, by Russians
and Poles-veritable slaves-and by
Belgian and French evaquees. 1t is re-
ported that the allied bombardments
have maddened the people,
But ali available adyiees Of an sau-
thoritative kind indicate that elimina-
tion Of the evil genius, mihtarism, can
only be attained by absolute defeat
and Germany viii only confess she is
vanquished when her people see close
at hand, on their own soil, the horrors
of war.
Military men are delighted over
the developments of the western battle
line.
Some military men here believe that
Germany will answer President Will
son S inquiry with an offer to with
draw from invaded territory. They say
that the German peace offer was the
result of the desperate situation in
which the boehe found himself on the
west front and that he would like
nothing better than the chance to get
out with an armistice. However mtre
acceptance of the armistice idea will
be insufficient for the present, for the
president left another stumbling block
in the path by his indirect notice that
he could not bargain with the Hohen'
zollerns.

PEACE TALK WITH
SPANISH INFLUENZA
INJURIES BOND SALE
Many Liberty Loan Meetings
Cancelled Because OF
Epidemic.

Washington, Oct. 10. = Peace talk
and the ravages Of influenza combined
today to throw the fourth liberty loan
further behind its schedule
There was absolutely no reason for
encouragement in early reports from
the federal reserve banks, treasury Of
ficials declared
in some of the districts the war ex-
hibit trains have been compelled to
cancel stops by order of health authori-
ties. Units of the Great Lakes naval
band which have been distributed thru
the west have been idle becasse Of pa
rades being under the ban.
In the Cleveland district alone six
ty towns have cancelled arrangements
for loan meetings because Of the in
fluenza epidemic.
Because of the handicap on cam
paign plans, resulting from influenza,
half dozen sections report "insidi-
Gus propaganda" under way among the
ustro-Hungarians. Reports have been
spread that if they buy bonds they will
be imprisoned whenever they return to
their native land.
Treasury officials said the propagan-
da appears to be spreading rapidly and
threatens now to include other foreign
born peoples as well.

following statement:

tended the patriotic Germans in America, and said that we are not to hate the Germans, but we must hate the German idea. Other statements of facts were made by Mrs. Hale relative to the almost unbelievable position that the Huns have taken in the prosecution of the war.
 She pictured very vividly the awful conditions in Belgium, France and the other war stricken countries, and their dire need of food which through the lack of male labor, is curtailing the production to great extent all though the women are doing mems work in the fields. The lack of fer tilizer and farming implements also is aiding in the curtailment of food production, and she spoke at length on the congested condition of some of the smaller nations who are fighting with the allies and without sufficient food to barely exist on. She asked her audience to pass the word on to others not to use so much white flour, or in other words about a third of what has been used in the past; wheat and flour she said could be shipped across with less expense than corn or meal. Pork also is a product that should be used lightly by the people at home, as the grease from pork is put to many valuable uses by the soldiers in the trenches. She encour- aged the raising of more chickens, eggs, etc, and use more products of the home which will help solve the transportation problem She asks that the candy making habit be cut out as we'll as other sweet things that are not a necessity.

 Mrs Forbes Robertson Hale was ..rt to Prescott by the federal food .dministration, she being one of tbree speakers who are touring the country in interest of the conserving If food She was introduced by Judge C. R. Haynie.
 Mrs. Hale opened her address by stating that the information she gave mt and the statements she made rela- five to conditions in the war zone, are absolute facts backed by the United States government. She referred to letter that was received by Won Bernstorff while he was ambassador to this country from Berlin, the sub stance of which was that the kaiser wanted the Americans kept in the enutral class until Germany had whipped Europe sufficiently so that she could land an occupation army on our shores, both the Atlantic and Pacific, and being unprepared as we were then, it was her intention to capture the most important towns and hold them until more troops could be landed and the final outcome would have been that the American people would have paid the expense q the eonquering hordes. The Through German Order" as it was termed by Mrs. Hale, is a book of iron clad orders carried by each Teuton soldier in his breat pocket and which

 on women and children especially, which make a German a thing of terror to all of them and they are afraid to resist when approached by one of the inhuman fiends. This,
 Mrs, Hale said, is just what the kaiser wants and is getting, as we have all ready seen by the reports, all of which are not only true but do not make the frightfulness practiced by ne German soldiers strong enough. sne also read extracts from the Brit kn book of similar kind, save that ne British soldiers are forbidden to ake advantage in any way of a
