Mount Crest Abbey.

With members of the Oregon Agrieul-
tural College cadets standing at gusrd,
the body of Governor James Witty
combe lay in state today at the First
Methodist church from nvcn rnill 2
o'clock. Before the beginning of the
funeral services the casket was closed.
DR.. R. N. Avison, pastor of the church
who delivered the funeral sermon, chose
as his text, Joshua, first chapter, see
ond verse: Moses my servant is dead.
Now therefore arise.n DR., Avison said
in part:
"This scripture is a statement of the
fact of death to us all and also call
to duty to all. Time gathers itself
into a great life, and when that life
closes, it would seem as if great
chasm was left.
But let us remember that God al
lows 10 gaps in his Providence. He
can bury the best and the greatest of
us and history moves on as if nothing
had occurred.
"The great thing to know of any one
is their character, as character is immor-
tai, and this is where this man appears
to the greatest advantage.
"Howevcr we might differ with him,
no one could ever call into question his
honesty and integrity and patriotism.
IT is these things the people have reeog-
nized in him and have made possible
his election to the highest office in the
state.
fsNow therefore arise, is the call Of
this hour. The call to make effective
that for which the name Of James
Withycombe stands for. 1t is a call

tried to work out in the 25 years Of
his public life. 1t is call to make eff
foctive In the nation the patriotism
which was one of Governor Witty
eombe's strongest characteristics,
Every great life must be measured
by three fundamental institutions
home, the state and the church. They
are equally of divine origin and man
works out his destiny measured by these
standards. The life of James Witty
combe, from these standpoints, appesas
to the best possible advantage"

Many CzECHO-SLOVAKS
MARTYRS IN BIG war
Refuse To Fight For Austrians
In Cause They Did Not
Believe.
By Frank ]. Taylor.

(Unitcd Press Staff Correspondent.)
Prague, Czeeho- -Slovakia, Feb. 5. (By
Mail. )-the passive resistance as
the war time opposition Of the Czecho-
Sloyak people to the old Austrian Hun
garian government was called, was an
exceedingly effective means Of fight
ing the Hapsburgs, as after the war re-
violations have shown.
Though the Czecho Slovaks were sus-
pected and suppressed too completely
to revolt with force until toward the
end TO the war, they refused to fight
for Austria. Thousands escaped and
joined Russian, Italian and French arm
les, and against these countrymen the
eonscripted Czecho Slovaks refused to
fight.
They were drafted into the army,
and in many cases sent to the front.
At the first opportunity they surrend-
cred in groups. From Prague an or
ganized system Of arranging surrender
was conducted. Representatives were
sent out to show soldiers at the front
how to surrender in groups without be,
ing killed.

In military way the passive re-
sistancev Of the Czecho Slovaks was

Casualties have been extremely light.
Refused to Strike.
Employees of many factories refused
to join the gerenal strike, which was
to have been the signal for nation
wide revolution. The telephone system
was working us usual tonight and rail-
way service had not been seriously im-
paired. The bourgeoisie we RIO

general opinion seemed to be that the
radicals were over confident and that
they "went off half cocked.n = Some
of their leaders, including Hugo Hasse

Not Yet Endangered.
The government SO far has not been
seriously endangered. The cabinet was
planning to hurry specialization of eer-
tain ndustries--though its program was
far short of the demands of the radi-
Gals. All governmental work was to be
directed from Weimar until order was
completely restored in Berlin.
Meanwhile u.wonfirmed reports were
received that number Of heavily arm
ed bands were advancing on Weimar
for the purpose Of looting the town.
These bands, SO far as could be learned,
apparently had no political affiliations.

Germany is much more serious than

Untrue.

\ Coblenz, Feb. 10. l(Bv MsH.)-MaRy
Frenchmen and Americans are said to
be worrying over rumors that the Am
orleans are fraternizing with the Ger
mans; that many Of the boys from
the states speak German just as some
of the Rhinelanders speak English;
that the Germans give the Americans
warm rooms, comfortable beds, black
their boots, and see that they get del
icies.

termination, but they are rumors on

The only exception is in the case of
children. There is an inherent love
of little folk in the hearts of the Am
erican soldiers, and all the regulations
in the world will not prevent them
from playing with the kids"
The general was asked if the Ger
mans were short OF food in the Am
erican sector.
"They seem to have plenty of it, "
he answered Vegetables are com
mon and cheap, the only shortage be-
ing in fats and milks."
In one or two towns there was a
complaint from the Germans that
they had no livestock Of fowl, but we
noticed a lot Of chickens. Someone
asked the Germans why they did not
eat the chickens. He caught one and
showed number on its leg. The sys-
tematic German authorities had made
the owner of the chicken responsible
for three eggs week.
There is plenty of game in the
forests, wild boar being good table
diet, also breeding rapidly. The
American soldiers were potting this
game when We issued orders prohibit
ing them from shooting It,"

General Dickman has not had the
