VETS CLING TO HOPE
OF CONGRESS ACTION

WASHINGTON, April s.-Only
congressional action can keep the
country from going dry under war
time prohibition July 1, 1t is believed
today in official circles. There is no
likelihood, 1t is officially stated, that
President Wilson will rescind his
proclamation putting prohibition into
effect July / as the law on this point
provides that the nation shall be dry
until demobilization is completed.
The only hope of the vets therefore
Is to have the special session of con-
gress pass Legislation declaring the
war emergency over and authorizing
the recall of the proclamation. 1t is
doubtful If there will be sufficient
majority in congress IN view of there
cent ratification of the constitutional
amendment to pass the legislation.

WANTS SCHOOL HELP
IN ANT|-FLY WORK

Cooperation of the high school
science department was today enlist
ed by Miss Lorene Parker, county
demonstration agent, in furthering
the swat-the-fly campaign which she
is carrying on in the county and city.
Analysis of milk exposed to bac-
terra carrying flies, will be made by
the high school department and steri-
lized plates will also be examined
after a fly has walked across their
surface. Slides or drawings. showing
the bacteria deposited, will be made
and shown to the school children
here.
Attempts to darken local school
rooms for the showing of stereoptican
slides having proved not feasible, Miss
Parker will now attempt to obtain the
auditorium of the county library for
illustrated lectures. There she will
show slides to various grade school
children and the lectures will be i'm
pressed upon the youngsters by con-
test, in which all above the fifth
grade will write essays on the fly.
F. p. Austen, superintendent of
city schools, favors taking one or two'
classes to the auditorium at time
for these lectures and having the es-
say contests follow. The suggestion
of the campaigners is that the best
article from each local school be Sc
lected for publication in the local pa
pers an an added stimulus.
Miss Parker was obliged to return
slides she had here last week but will
obtain them from the headquarters in
Portland and from the University of
Oregon as soon as the meetings are
assured.

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
PARIS, April S.--This is der tag
on which the future of Germany may
be decided. Advices from German
and neutral sources indicate that the
question of whether Germany is to
continue its present form of govern
ment or embrace bolshevism hangs
largely on the action of the soviet
congress which opens in Berlin to-
day.
The Schedemann ministery has
granted further concessions to the
radicals but is represented as deter
mined to resist with all force at its
disposal any further political en-
croachment on it's powers. Spartacan
leaders according to the best available
information hope through the influ-
ence of their agents at today's meet
ing to inflame the workers and weld
all factions into a single campaign
for the overthrow of President Ebert
and Chancellor Scheidemann.
