En- Route With President Wilson
to San Diego, Calf, Sept 90
Crowds are always difficult to ana
lyze; their applause is not always
conclusive, their demonstrations are
not always spontaneous and the ele-
ment Of contagion and suggestion en-
ters into the psychology OF the mo-
ment, but more distinctive than any
other audience on the whole journey
have been the three which President
Wilson addressed at San Francisco.
Their respective responses were diff
ferent, their demeanor also different
Fully 10000 people were packed in
every conceivable space aisles, raft
ers. stairways and balconies. more
uncomfortable mass OF humanity
have never seen People could
neither get in or out, they were fas-
tened as il in wise. They gave Mr.
Wilson a thunderous welcome And
the demonstration lasted fully fifteen
minutes during which time even the
president seemed to enjoy the waving
of flags and the expressions Of enthus-
ia&m, but as the great majority who
had come to listen, needed the up
raised hand Of the mayor, a minority
who had come to disturb, kept up
perpetual clamor. AT first ii seemed
as il it was mere discomfort and
anxiety to get nearer the front. but
gradually She presidents face hard
cncd as he saw that Il small group
had placed itself in the hall presum-
ably to interfere with the making Of
the speech itself
People on the platform, many Of
thcm Republicans, plainly showed
their embarrassment as they did not
want Il few people to give the imprcs-
sion that San Francisco had so far
forgotten its democracy as to refuse
TO hear both sides Of any public ques-
ton. Again and again, the organ
played in order to secure quiet and
finally the president started speaking
amidst an audible turbulence on the
outskirts Of the crowd. His audience
didn't respond to frequently made
points. Some started to applaud, but
evidently feared it would give the dis
turbcrs the opportunity they sought
TO prevent Mr.. Wilson from making
an extended speech, but something in
the hostility Of the atmosphere
aroused Mr.. Wilson and he did what
he had hitherto never done-he start
ed to fight the noise. Usually, In big
audit0riums, he had not strained his
voice or attempted to do more than
extend his greetings, but. on this oc-
casiOn, he struck forth in his argu-
ment and handled the Shantung and
Irish questions, and the matter OF
Great Britain's six votes with clari
ty that quickly restored quiet and re-
spect BY the time he had finished he
may not have converted those who
came with preconceived hostility, but
he tanned the disturbers and Mr.. Will

Standard Houses
 Are To Be Built
 For English People

London, Aug. P Correspondence of the Associated Press.)-Specifica- tions of the new standard houses, complete from the composition of mortar and cement and cement and the thickness of walls to such details as niches for bedroom dressers and hooks for garden clothes lines, have been issued by the Ministry of Health. The standard houses, with alterations where necessary to meet local conditions, will be constructed in all government-aided housing prof. ects.
 The prospective resident, with a set of these specifications, may fol- low the construction of his home from the excavation stage through the bricklaying and fitting and paint ing.
 Standard drain pipes, sinks, cis- terms, bathroom and laundry appli- ances, cupboards, cloak rails, doors and windows are specified. Indi- eating the substantial character of the houses it is proposed to build un- der these specifications, no outer wall is to be less than nine inches thick. Each house is to have it's own hot water supply system.

Move Begins in Germany Against
 Semitic Press

Berlin, Sept. IA Correspondence O.
 The Associated Press.) )-Ihe Hansi
 Bund of Hamburg, mercantile asso
 citation of the great port, has request
 ed the publishers of the German Offl , cers' Gazette, to publish demand up
 on the public, not to read JeWlsl newspapers. The demand mentions as some of the more prominent Ger man papers owned by Jews the Der lin Tageblatt, the Ullstein papers Vossiscne Zeitung, Berlinger Zeltunfl Am Mittag, Morgenpost and the Ma tional Zeitung.
 This is the latest, and most direct move in the anti-semitic campaign that is growing in Germany. 1t .s another result of the revolution, which is removing the old censorship, re- moved with it every vestige of control over everything.
 The Pan-German papers of course are behind the anti-semitic campaign, becoming bolder and bolder week by week until some virtually plead for pogroms while others content them selves with earnest hopes that all the Jews will leave Germany go to Pales- tine-or anywhere else in the world than Germany.
 The agitation began, as The Asso- ciated Press correspondent had ample opportunity to see, in Bavaria short ly after the armistice and the revolu- tion. It was at first inspired by op- ponents of Kurt Eisner and the other Jews who constituted a part of the government the first republic in Bavaria. It was furthered chiefly by the officer caste, which found thous- ands of sympathizers among the real Bavarians who joined the movement in dislike if not hatred of the for eign element that had invaded Bavar- ia during the war.
 Thence it spread with ever-increas- ing rapidity, and blazed out Ill Northern Germany, where 1t had al- ways existed but had been more or less dormant because of government tai restrictions. It has achieved greater headway because some mem- bers of the present government are Jews.
 Minister of Defense Noske recent ly took steps to prevent threatened pogrom which evoked a letter from a Pan- German who complimented him on his attitude toward pogroms.
 Officers of troops in the east re- peatedly accused of deliberately fur thering an oppression of their Jewish soldiers. All in all, the life of the Hebrew is one of the most uncomfort- able in Germany.
 Berlin is flooded with anti-semitic literature. The west end of the city is the particular stamping ground of those who distribute it. The antagon- ism of Jews extends to almost every stratum of the German population. Magazines, weeklies and monthlies devote columns to the subject.

Seek Instructor
 at U. of A. for
 Red Cross Work

Fayetteville, Oct. 9.-Despite the strenuous efforts of the southwlZ- ern division of the American ned Cross 10 obtain a man to teach cours- es in applied sociology and to con. duct Red Cross institutes at the Uni. versity of Arkansas, none could be secured for the first or fall term of the university. It is almost certain, however, that an instructor will have been secured by the opening of the second term to take charge of the new courses.
 The attractiveness of the proposed course is clearly shown by the large number of students who enrolled for the classes in practical sociology, so- cial survey and community organi- zation work, in hopes that teacher would be obtained.
 The Red Cross was to furnish the instructor, who would not only teach the courses in the University relating to social work, but would conduct >.s-wcek institutes for persons in the state recommended by Red Cross chapters. This was to be done in CO., operation with the university. The institutes are for the purpose Of pre-

Large Estates in England Sold When
 Taxes Become High

London, Sept. 17.-(Correspon- England is changing hands because taxes are so high landed proprietors cannot afford to own and maintain their estates, according to accumulat- ing evidence of the past few days.
 "The crushing taxation, which has resulted from the war;" said the mo- tice sent by the Duke of Rutland to his tenants, coupled with the great rise in the price of all commodities and labor, have placed such burdens on my property as to compel me to largely diminish the size of my es- tate." The Duke of Rutland sold his Harby estates in the vale of Bel voir, much to the regret of his ten- ants.
 Brigadier General William Strong, of Thorpe Hill, Peterborough, in an- other landed proprietor who is part ing with his property. He explain. ed to the villagers that he regretted to do so, but as one-third of his in- come now went in taxation, it was impossible for him to maintain the hall and the estate.
 Property of this class is being bought by the newly-rich who made their fortunes during the war, but in almost every instance each estate is sold to a number of persons rather than being taken by one.

Wood Pulp Industry
 Booming in Maine

Bangor, Mo-, Oct. 4.-What a tre-
 mendous boost has been given to
 Maine timber land values by the com
 ing of the wood pulp industry is shown by a comparison of today's prices with those realized at an auc- tion sale held in Bangor City hall in
 September, 1878. On that occasion about 350.0O0 acres of timber lands in the counties of Aoostook, Penob- scot, Somerset and Piscataquis, own ed by the estate of E. D. Jewett & Co.,. were sold at prices ranging from 25 cents to $1.02 an acre. In the period between 1875 and 1890 spruce stump age in Maine sold at $1.25 to $2 per thousand feet.
 When the pulp industry began to develop in Maine, the big concerns be- gan to buy lands at wholesale, and at first were able to get what they wanted at a moderate advance over the old prices, but very soon prices went up by jumps to $3, S4 and $5 an acre, then to an average of about of about $7 for we'll wooded tracts on good driving waters, which latter
 Today the choicest of Maine spruce lands are worth not less than $2O an acre, while many holdings are quoted at a dollar or two more, with no one anxious to sell. Even with spruce lumber selling at $60 per thousand feet there is little disposition to turn logs to the sawmills in preference to the digesters.
