Seattle Schools to
Eliminate German at
End of This Term

Seattle, Wash, April .0.-On motion
of Judge Richard Winsor, one time So
cialist candidate for mayor, the Seattle
school board last night voted to dis
continue teaching German at the end of
the present term.
Superintendent Frank B. Cooper, al
though he opposed elimination of Ger
man in a report made several months
ago, brought about last night s action
by presenting a report in which he re-
versed his opinion. Danger of using
class rooms to spread German propa-
ganda was admitted.
To. the students themselves is due in
large measure the credit for eliminating
German. Five hundred out of 800 pupils
stopped attending German classes. Most
Of them changed to French. Many stud
eats reported their disapproval of the
attitude of some of the German instruc-
tors, and at least one instructor had to
be warned 0 stop expressing opinion on
the war.

KEEP THE HOME FIRES BURNING
Words by Lena Guilbert Ford.)

They were summoned from the hillside
They were called in from the glen,
And the country found them ready
At the stirring call for men.
Let no tears add to their hardship,
AS the soldiers pass along,
And, although your heart is breaking,
Make it sing this CHEEKY song:
Chorus.
Keep the home fires burning
While your hearts are y%earning,
Though your lads are far away,
They dream of home;
a silver lining
Through the dark clouds shining,
Turn the dark clouds inside out
Till the boys come home.
Over seas there came a pleading,
"Help a nation in distressl"
And We gave our glorious ladies;
Honor made us do not less.
For no gallant son of Freedom
To a tyrant's yoke should bend,
And a noble heart must answer
To the sacred call of Friend

District Conference
Of Methodist Church

The Salem District Conference Of the
Methodist Episcopal church, held at
Oregon City, Oregon, from the 3rd to
the 9TH, inclusive, was in all respects
very successful.
The district includes a territory as
large as some of the European states,
with fifty-two ministerial appointments
and has sixty ordained Methodist min
listers inside its boundary.
The Rev. T. B. Ford, D. D., the able
and efficient district superintendent, is
worthy of a great deal of credit for the
success of the conference. The program
was one of the most elaborate present
ed at any district conference, and the
read and speeches made were of
nigh order.
This district conference has given a
new impetus 10 Methodism in this part
of the country, and all expect that this
year viii be one of the best for the
Methodist church in Oregon.

War Just
But Warns Against
Over Confidence

Spokane, Wash, April 9.-Declaring
the business of this war and in the
same breath uttering a stern warning
against over confidence, Will H. Hays,
national chairman of the republican
party, delivered a ringing address before
a non-partisan gathering here today.
This was Hays first appearance in
the Pacific northwest. The republican
party leader will travel swiftly down
the coast, speaking at Seattle, Portland,
San Francisco and Los Angeles and then
going eastward.
"Ihe world has become too small for
democracy and autocracy to exist to-
.gether," SHOUTED Hays, his slight frame
vibrating with energy.
"On the question Of the war there is
but one side. On that side, supporting
the country's cause, shall stand every
political party and every member of
every political party entitled to any
consideration whatsoever"

BOARD WOULD BUILD
CONCRETE VESSELS
Money to Build These
for Carrying Fuel Oil
COaStWiSt

Washington. April 8.-The United
States shipping board late today de-
.cided to- ask congress for an apprOpri-
alton of $50, 0O0,0 900 with which to
build concrete ships. The announce
ment was fade by Chairman Hurley af-
ter a conference with Senators Nc
Cumber and Simmons.
1t has been decided to build five
more government shipyards for exclu-
sive use in concrete construction. Two
of these yards will be ON the Pacific
coast and three on the Atlantic. Their
location, although practically determin-
ed. fay be changed when data is OBJ
tanned affecting transportation facil-
tiles. Chairman Hurley stated that the
yards would be located as near as pos
sible to the source of supplies.
Shipping board engineers have de-
signs ready and the building of ways
will start Immediately congress pro-
vides the money. Each year will con
tain six ways. They will be built for
ships of a dead weight tonnage of u
500. "
1t is the intention Of the shipping
board to begin the shipbuilding of con
crete tankers for use elm eOastwise
trade. This will eliminate further
shortage in fuel oil for the fleet which
the nation now has.
The rapidity with which concrete
ships can be built, together with the
low cost Of construction, is expected
by shipping board officials to win sup
port for the request, which will be made
by q Figures compiled show the
cost of a concrete ship to be about $40
per lightweight ton. The cost of wood
and steel vessels is about $40 and
$175 per lightweight ton, respectively.

"Oh, he probably offered because he

carelessly, just as our first guests were

Cuts Bread
Ration One Third

Washington, April 9.-France has cut
her bread ration one third so that Am
erlcais wheat may stretch farther, Food
Administrator Hoover announced today.
Daily bread allowances range from
3+2 Ounces allowed very small children
to IA ounces for manual laborers. Bread
constitutes over one half the French
diet, it was explained.
Hoover's wheatless diet is spreading
rapidly, according to reports received
By the food administration. Idaho is the
latest state to pledge itself not to eat
wheat in any form until harvest, if
necessary.
Colleges are going on the wheatless
basis approved by first class hotels.
Drew Theological Seminary, Madison,
N. j., is one of the first on record as
abandoning entirely consumption of
wheat.

The government report as to the condition of winter
wheat made yesterday shows it is more than 20 per cent
better than last year and slightly better than in 1916. In
bushels it indicates a yield of 100000 as against 49,,
O7O,OOO in 1917 an increase of 100000 bushels. With a
corresponding increase in the yield Of Spring grain there
would be a surplus over 1917 of more than 200, 100000
bushels. If this promise is made good Americans can
without any great sacrifice supply all the allies and neu-
trail countries dependent on them with a fair ration of
bread. However no matter how great the crop it must
not be overlooked that it requires ships and then more
ships to get this wheat across the pond.
