German War Lords Planned
Conflict of Conquest, says
Local Professor.

Sunday afternoon DR.. X. r. Stolz
delivered Il patriotic address at the
dedication of the service flag at Oak
Vile. He said in part:
When the war began in 1914 /,
like many others, believed that the
German people had taken up arms in
self-defense. l was mistaken. l was
wrong. A val of aggression and con-
quest had been precipitated by the
beyond the shadow of a doubt that
the German val lords wanted war,
planned the war, could have prevent
ed the war, and started the war. The
invasion of Belgium was an outrage
for which there is not a shred of JUS
titication. and she must be evacuated.
Unidentified and restored by Germany
to the full measure of human posi-
bility.
The sinking of the Lusitania was an
inhuman act, and the awarding Of
medals for it vas the climax of
shamelessness. In the course of the
wal German troops have been guilty
of Il series of atrocities which have
most justly aroused the wrath and in
dignation of the nations against them.
The Russian situation is a mirror
which reflects the entire policy of
duplicity and conquest pursued by the
German military authorities. Their
treatment of Russia is a complete
vindication of the leadership of Presi-
dent Wilson.
with reference to the world-con-
dition there is only one position pos
sible for every American citizen. re-
CARELESS of blood or race-an uncom-
promising loyalty to the United States
and our allies. A passive patriotism
is not enough. our cause is just, and
demands the positive, definite and &C.
tive support of every citizen. With
out reservation or equivocation I am
committed to the Stars and Stripes
and all they symbolic, and to the de-
struction of Prussianism and the
overthrow Of the Kaiser and his gang.

ALL MEN PLACED IN
ONE OF FOUR CLASSES

Reclassification according to phys
ical condition of the men called in
the next army draft is provided in
revised instructions for medical ad-
visory boards which are being sent to
the local boards throughout the
country. The new regulations, made
public Thursday, require that every
man summoned before the coard
shall be placed in one of the follow
ing four classes:
(A) Acceptable for general mill
tary service.
OBJ Acceptable for general mill
tary service after being cured of rem
edial defects.
(C) Acceptable for special or
limited military service in a specified
capacity or occupation.
CD Rejected and exempted from
any military service.
1t is the intention of the provost
marshal-general to provide later for
the further investigation and classifi-
cation of the men acceptable for lin
tied or special service so that record
may be made for the sort of work
each of the men may be assigned to
do without endangering his health.
Under the new regulations, many
ailments and defects which gained
exemption of drafted men in the past
now will result only in their being
listed in Group B. Such men, if they
choose, will be given the privilege of
securing the services of their family
physicians in the effort to remove the
defect but if they have not availed
themselves of this privilege within a
specified time they will be called into
military service and ordered to can
tonment base hospital, or to a civic
hospital as may be designated by the
urgeon-general.

All the nurses of Base Hospital No.

Benevolent and Protective Order of
Elks unit will be called into iRme-
diate duty. Twenty-four of them are

This was indicated when Miss
Grace Phelps, chief nurse of the unit,
received from Miss Clara D. Noyes,
director of the bureau of nurses,
American Red Cross, a telegram d.
recting her to forward complete list
of her nurses to Surgeon General
Gorgas.
That these nurses are to be used
for temporary service all over the
United States, peIfling mobilization
of the base hospital, which is now
expected momentarily, was indicated
in the message, which urged that the
names of the nurses be sent in groups
of ten, one to be the spokesman for

Sneak Thief Enters
House in Daylight

The home of ]. R. Casey on North
Pioneer avenue was entered Sunday
morning by a sneak thief, who car
ried off pair of Mn Casey's trou-
sers with about $4 in money, his keys
and all his personal belongings.
When Miss Helene Casey entered the
kitchen at about 1880 o'clock she
surprised man in the act of crawl
ing out of window. An investiga-
tion found that the intruder had en-
tered Mr.. Casey's bedroom and pur-
loined a pair of new trousers hang
ing there. The description of the
man answered that of a tramp who
had visited the houses several days
ago.

each group, and transportation to be
sent direct to the squad leader.
That the army and navy nurses
corps intends to call all Red Cross
nurses into virtually immediate serv-
ice in this country is undoubted. ~
Reading between the lines" said
Miss Phelps, would seem to indicate
that it is the intention of the govern
ment to utilize these nurses at east
crn and middle western cantonments,
so that they will be available for in
slant mobilization of the base hos
pital at an eastern point. Tempo
rary mobilization Of officers and men
probably will be effected in Port
land, nurses and office staff mobiliz-
ing in the east, just before the unit
boards the transport"
There are now fifty base hospital
units, either in process of mobiliza-
tion, about to mobilize or in France.
Each of these was organized by the
Red Cross That makes 5000 nurses
available for the purposes of the gov
ornment. That 1t is intended to call
virtually all these nurses available in
this country for immediate canton
ment duty seems undoubted and in
dicates that health conditions at the
cantonments will be benefited imme-
diately thereby.

sum today.

however, should not deter Oregoni.

When you buy one of the U. S. gov

make the kind of investment capital
lists are anxious to get.
There's not a doubt but that mon
eyed men would soon take all the
issue of war savings stamps if they
could. With the payment of the in
terest and principal guaranteed by
the honor and resources Of this ma
tion, and an interest rate of per
cent compounded four times a year,
no other investment offer is quite so
attractive as this.
But the government wants it's war
savings certificates to be owned by
the millions of Americans. That's
why the stamps are in small denomi-

You can buy a war savings stamp
in March for $4.14, in April for
$4.15, and 90 on until December of
this year, when the price will be
$4.23. You can buy government
thrift stamps for 25 cents each. They
will help people save many e quarter

the interest-bearing war savings
