COMPLAINTS MADE
BY AUSTRIA FALSE
Czecho Sloyak Representative
Says Magyars Are Trying
To Stir Up Revolt.

Washington, Dee. 25.-Vienna com
plants that the Czecho-Slovaks have
refused to give Austria coal are char
acterized as utterly false by Charles
Pergier, Czccho-Slovak representative
here.
Pergler said he had been informed by
the Czecho Slovak foreign office that
the Magyars had been attempting to
stir up revolt of German miners in
Bohemia at the very time that the Pra-
que government was consigning stipu-
lated coal shipments to German Aus
tria.
"The accusation that we fail to fur
nish Vienna with coal is designed to
compromise us in the eyes Of the en-.
tente," said Pergler. cit is but a
manifestation of the now notorious
Mgyar propaganda of falsehoods. !"
A dispatch from Munich today stated
that on account of the coal shortage
all Bavarian factories have closed fol
period of ten days. The government
meanwhile will pay the employees full
wages.

Manual Training School
In Salem rs Years Ago
Established By Jason Lee For
Training Of Indians In
Ways OF White Man.

In Salem was established in 1912, un.
der the direction of Jason Lee the first
manual training school west of the Mis-
sissippi river. The building in which
the school was held was the old Oregon
Institute, erected at cost of 100000.
The Oregon Institute later became Will
lamette university.
This matter Of establishing manual
training school along with teaching do
nestle science is Of especial interest TO
the people Of Salem interested in the
city's school, from the fact that few
people have not agreed with the board
Of education in the matter of teaching
boys useful trades and girls how to
cook and keep house.
Yet, the fact is, that while few
are still opposed to teaching practical
affairs of life, giving the students the
training that will be of practical bene.
fit, it was just 76 years ago this fall
that Jason Lee and his Methodist mis-
sionaries were pioneering alonA tae
same line and IL was only due to the
fact that Jason Lee was relieved of
his duties in the missionary work that
the school was abandoned.
1t was on May 10, 1s41, that com.
mittee consisting mostly Of Methodists
was appointed to select IA new site for
the mission school. Jason Lee proposed

In addition to the special arrange

material for proper observance or the
holiday, the fact that their commander
IN chief, the president was addressing
them through their comrades at Langes
made the day the most notable in the
history Of the American expeditionary
force.
Until the last moment it was feared
the 100000 men in German territory
would not receive their Christmas
packages from home in time, but sew
eral carloads arrived in Coblenz un-

vaudeville shows.
Except for the patrol at the edge of

end many gifts were exchanged by
The two nationalities.
The men found particular delight
in giving presents to the German chill

Every company had its own Christ
mas tree, with some doughtoy or off
Ger playing the role of Santa s deputy.
The regular rations were supplemented
tr ducks, geese and chickens.
In the blloting areas the entertain
rnents end feasts naturally were more
elaborate than in the occupied terri
tories. owing to the fact that the
French villagers contributed largely
to the festivities.
The Red Cross gave special dinners
and dances to the Officers and men in
Paris.
