WAR INSTRUCTOR
FOR THE UNIVERSITY
Willamette Practically Assur-
red of Selection as Mill
tary Training School

Willamette University is practically
assured of an instructor from the war
department for the coming school year.
Yesterday DR.. Carl Gregg Doney re-
eeived the following telegram from
Congressman W. G. Hawley.
Just conferred with the adiutant
generals S office. They think there is
no question but Willamette will be
selected and that you will be notified
probably in two or three days. They
say they will proceed with the work
as rapidly as possible. "
DIR. Doney was also advised by wire
by Senator McNary that as the Uni
versity has an enrolment of 100 male
students that its status was satisfaet-
ory to the war department and met
the requirements by which it was en-
titled to a military instructor.
According the present plans, with the
appointment of military instructor,
the high school students of Salem will
form part of the company organized at
Willamette University and drill with
them on the University grounds. Tho
school year of both the University and
the high school opens on the same day,
Monday, September 80.
Already nineteen students, who. have
registered for the fall term of the
University, are attending the students
army training corps at the Preside;
This course in military training ex-
tends over six weeks, beginning July
Is. Prof. W. A. Darden, teacher of
English in the University, is among the
men taking the training. The others,
appointed by the University for this
preliminary work -are as follows:

In addition to these nine main do
partments, it is proposed to have a
civil service commission Of three mem.
bers and superintendent of state po-
lice.
All elective officers in the state, ex-
cept those of governor, secretary of
state and state treasurer, are to be
abolished, and all appointments are to
be made by the governor.
The commission does not state what
salaries are to be paid to the depart
ment heads and other positions being
created. The inquisitive minded person
might ask how the commission can
know the amount that will be "saved "
until it knows what salaries are to be
paid to these officials, but little
thing like that does not worry the
commission. SO why worry the tax
payerl
The commission was appointed by
Governor Withycombe. 1t will meet
again in Portland this afternoon. Pro-
fessor J. NJ. Matthews, the consolida-
tion expert, will then return to his
home in Illinois and from there draft
his final report for the commission.

FLANK|NC MOVE BY
FOCH ALONG THE
OISE RIVER FRONT
Germans Try To Change From
Open Warfare Into Old
Time Trench Style.
By j. W. T. Mason
lCnited Press wan expertl

NOhlteu ffeSS war ezpertJ
New York, Aug. 14.-Marshal Foch
is developing a new thanking movement
along the Olse river, to the southeast
of the present fighting front, as his ans
wer to the stabilization of the German
line west of the Somme.
This movement is for the purpose of
avoiding the heavy casualties Of direct
attacks. Like Marshal Foch s other tac.
teal operations, beginning with the al
lied advance northwest from the Marne,
it is also an effort to substitute opera
tions Of maneuver above ground, for tbs
old strategy of trench fighting. Both
the Marine and the Picardy campaigns
show that German leadership is inferior
to that of the allies. This fact is destin
ed to have highly important bearing
upon the future conduct of the war In
many quarters, it had been believed that
the long years of exclusive study of mil
itary science by the Germans had made
them the tactical superiors of all othe,
commanders.
With the gradual development Of opsn
fighting, the Germans high command
felt confident it would have technical
advantage in efficiency that would in
sure victory. This belief is now an ex-
plodcd myth. In the Marne and Picardy
battles, the forces on both sides were
Approximately equal. Furthermore, foi
the first time since he became csief Of
staff, Won Hindenburg was compelled in
both combats to abandon his policy Of
ruthlessly slaughtering his own men for
spectacular territory gains. The sudden
realization at German headquarters Of
the splendid fighting qualities Of Am
erica s fast growing armies in France
compelled Won Hindenburg TO begin
saving his men and to rely in his vo.
ciferously proclaimed tactical and strato
gical skill fol victory.
The tests at the Marine and in picar-
ry, therefore, have been tests Of brain
power. These results have shown that
as tacticians in open fighting the Ger
mans are inferior to the allies. Demucra
cy need have no uneasiness over tho
gradual disappearance Of the trenches.
1t was the Germans who first dared The
allies to come out and it is the Ger
mans who are now trying to bmrow
back into the trenches again. German
military science is at its maximum eff.
cheney when it is recklessly slaughter
ing its own men, The time, however
has now come when this policy can no
longer DO followed. Technical skill In
open warfare has begun to claim its due
and the allies have taken the first VIC
tories.

PROF MATTHEWS
OF CONSOLIDATION
IS MADE PUBLIC
Provides For Practically New
Plan Of State Admins
tratiOn.

At the close of its secret meeting
yesterday, the state consolidation COM
mission announced its general plan for
recognizing the state government by
making the governor an autocrat. II
also issued statement showing that
adoption of its recommendations will
result in a saving to the state of
1885, 500.
This statement is considered one of
the biggest jokes the commission has
yet pulled, as it seems to DE based on
the assumption that the taxpayer is
forever gullible.
The statement shows tfat $4,000 is
TO be saved in two years on the salaries
of district attorneys by having the
counties pay one-half of these salaries.
Wonderful everyone will say. The
same taxpayer who pays the state taxes,
from which the district attorneys are
now paid, pays the county taxes. But
this "saving is listed to show the
beneficial work being done by the com
mission.
To make other savings" the com
mission shows a reduction in the ap-
preparations of the public service com
mission of $4,000, the Northwest
Tourist association of $22500, the
bureau Of mines and geology of 10000,
the social hygiene society of $4,000,
the Oregon Historical society Of $500.
Some people think that appropriations
for some Of these activities should be
cut out entirely, so in the report why
not cut them all out, as it would show
a bigger saving, and the legisla-
ture will make such appropriations as
it sees fit anyway.
The commission also is going to
"save" $1,000 by employing a state
architect instead of having the work
dene by private architects on a fee
basis. The state used to have an ar
chitect and he was abolished in order
to "save." But how did the commits
sion arrive at the amount it is going
to "save'' by employing state
architect9 How does it know how
many new buildings the legislature is

A slaughter of dogs at Kodiak has been in progress for some time past. according to a communication from Deputy Marshal Karl Armstrong of that place. who states that he has all ready killed twenty-five of the canine population. The animals appear to have been seized with an epidemic of some sort. which in instances appears to be hydrophobia. with a frothing of the mouth. running wildly and snap ping at everything. while in other cases the animals are attacked with a stupor, accompanied by convulsions as though they had been poisoned

NEW CHAIRMAN TO BE
 CHOSEN BY REPyBLICANS

ST LOUIS: Plans. politics, and per Sonalities aroHnd which the Republi- :an party will wage it's fight next fall to win control of the house of repre- sentatives were threshed out at ral- ly meeting of the Republican nation al committee here last night
 The resignation of Chairman Will COX, to accept post on Director Gen eral McAdoo's new wage board, has precipitated hot fight for the com mittee chairmanship. The candidates are: A. T. Hert of Kentucky. J. T. King of Connecticut, committee mem bers; John T. Adams. vice chairman. and w. H. Hays, state chairman for Indiana.
 Liberals frankly said that unless the party adopted more modern istic" stand it's political future was dim. World conditions, they pointed out, pointed surely to greater liberal ism.
 The conservatives, at the same time, saw great popular support in what they termed more "safe and sane" policy-with less disruption of the business status quo.
 A treasurer also Is to be chosen by the committee.
 Just what part. if any. Roosevelt was likely to play in the discussions appeared problematic. That policies adopted for the fall campaign will be framed with broad view to the 1920 presidential campaign was assured.
 Harmony of the closest character will be sought. Conservatives and pro- gressives. initial skirmishes over. were expected to bury all differences in a common purpose.
 One momentus question up for de- cision was just how far the Repub- licans can go in open criticism of the war administration.

WAR STAMPS GIVEN

FL PASO: War stamps instead of change are being used here for tip ping walters. bell boys and servants. The idea originated with A. P. Coles, general chairman of the war stamp campaign committee Instead of leav- ing a tip at his plate after he finished his meal in a public restaurant or hotel, Mr. Coles started the custom of affixing a 25 cent thrift stamp to a thrift card and leaving 1t beside his plate The plan has been taken up here and many of the servants, wait CTS and waitresses in the local hotels and restaurants have filled the thrift cardsa nd have started war savings certificates with their stamp tips.
