Hauck, principal of Fullerton Union high school, today sounded the keynote of the sixth annual convention of the Calitornia High School Teachers' Association, which opened a five-day session this morning at the University of California.

In his address as presiding officer of the conference, Dr. Hauck called upon high school teacher of the state give of his all in helping to win the war. "The war itself has demonstrated that the schools of the past have not been a failure," declared Dr. Hauck. "The rapid mobilization and efficient equipment of the colossal armies of today are made possible only through the ability gained through organized systematic information.

school, however, must work a greater degree than ever before to become a vital controlling force In the lives of individuals and in the government of the nation. It must practically and genuinely minister to the needs of the people. It must be the great democratizing influence in the world. It must be ready to fight the economic, industrial and social evils of the world as it is now fighting political autocracy. "There must be to seek the truth as cities are razed and as thousands give up their lives.

There must be a faith that looks beyond the dominance of wrong. There must beta clearness of vision and hearing which makes it possible to comprehend the voice of a great multitude and the voice of many waters and the voice of mighty thunderings saying Alleluja, for the Lord God omnipotent More than 500 teachers from all parts of the state gathered this afternoon for the opening session of the convention in room 300 Chemistry building. President Benjamin Ide Wheeler welcomed the teachers irl behalf of the university, while Dr. K. F.

William. G. McAdoo, director general of railroads, said this mornIng. that the use of the Southern Pacific mole as a common passenger terminal for the Santa Fe, Southern Pacific and Western Pacific, was his "diagnosis" and not" a and that nothing had been definitely decided or would be until the completion of the conference with the State Railroad Commission and railroad heads which beging "We are doing averything that can be done under Federal control," McAdoo said, "to enhance efficiency. Using a common terminal for Western Pacific, Santa Fe and Southern Pacific at the Southern Pacific Oakland pier was suggasted to me.

Nothing definite has been done, but if it is found that it will speed up with perfect safety and at less cost for handling it will probably be made effective." The handling of east-bound freight exclusively over tha WestPacific tracks from San Franbay territory is another tentative plan which will be consideration by Director McAdoo at his conferences with the railroad commission and associate regional directors. "This changa has been prepared," McAdoo continued, "in view of the one per cent grade of the Western Pacific as compared with that of a two per cent grade on the Southern Pacific line. The idea is a economy, and if economy can be effected this plan will probably be. adopted. In the coming conferences we will make a diagnosis of the railroad situation here.

The prescription will come when wa have completed it. Railroads are operating all' over the country abnormally as compared with pre-war conditions. "On February 11 we had 162,000 freight cars tied up. This congestion has been absolutely wiped out. Everything that is legitimately a war project is, being given preference in handling," In connection with this the Oakland pler will handle its usual electric train traffic, the result to be that the terminal, now considered' the busiest ih the world for its size, will bear the burden of a heavy increase in extra traffic.

The plan will mean the elimination of two heavy items of expense in the piers and boats to be discontinued by the Federal order, according to the Railroad Administration. The conferences, which will last three days, are being attended by the following: Central Western Regional Director Hale Holden, Northwest Regional Director R. H. Aishton, Traffic Director Edward Chambers, Federal Manager W. B.

Storey of the Santa Fe; Northwest District Director L. C. Gilman, Pacific Coast District Director William Sproule, Federal Manager E. E. Galvin of the Union Scott of the Southern Pacific Pacific and Federal Manager Wali Western Pacific.

ASKS SUGGESTIONS McAdoo has asked the Oakland and San Chambers on of Com- merce to submit their suggestions for traffic improvements to him, and outlined the work in an official state; ment, which follows: At noon today the rallroad admin1stration's officials held a conference with the State Railroad Commission. McAdoo said the recent rate increases were only temporary. "The entire aim of the railroad administration 18 to operate the roads at the least but with the greatest possible benefit those who require he said. "Temporarily we had to raise rates, but when this unification begins to work out the economies effected will be reflected in lower rates. The government '1s not operating the roads for profit." "There la no reason why all roads should not use the Oakland mole," said MeAdoo.

"Here you have the Western Pacific using a pier that is not convenient to the public and the Santa Fe discharging its passengers at Richmond. The raflroads, while they are a cohesive and unified system under government operation should be run with the greatest econonmy and the same time with the greatest of efficiency in public service. railroad men can convince me th It is impracticable, the three big roads will accept and discharge their passengers at Oakland pier within a short time. We are following this practice of consolidating facilities wherever it is in the Interests 01 economy, efficiency and public convenience. A recent example is the railway administration's order sending the Baltimore Ohio trains into the Pennsylvania depot in' Washington.

It has worked out splendidly. "There was no other way to operate the roads for war purposes than under government operation and with the carriers separated from corporate control. The public, however, has not grasped the full significance of the move. It is used to considering the roads with a distinct corporate identity, where, as. a matter of fact, while Uncle Sam is running them they are as much a part of the government as the treasury OT the postoffice department.

Only as a unified system could we obtain the results we are getting during this war period. We never could have met coal and food problems unless the transportation systems were made one. would have had to take over all of these roads under the original act if we took any. So we decided to drop them all on July 1. The President, however, has the authorIty to take over the roads as they are found necessary.

So we were saved the tremendous task of making an individual investigation by July 1 of each road to determine whether It was essential to war or not, and now are given the time to investigate them at our leisure, at the same time having an opportunity to pay the proper attention to the big and grave problems affecting transportation that are arising daily, Already we have taken over a great many of the short lines and as sity for doing so arises we will take over others." NEW BRIDGE MUST WAIT FIVE YEARS It was made apparent today that the Alameda county supervisors do not anticipate a completion of the new estuary bridge before five years. The board adopted the plans and specifications prepared by County Engineer P. A. Haviland for the 1m- mediate repair of the old bridge, on a basis of making it serve that length of time. The specifications call for an expenditure of $47,000.

The bridge is to be thoroughly overhauled, 'new piling being placed, the steel work thoroughly repaired and strengthened, the protection against collision by vessels renewed, the surface replanked and the whole structure cleaned up and. painted. Bids will be called for August 12 and the work must be completed in ninety days. Supervisors Murphy and Hamilton, in discussing the subject, declared today that the matter is urgent, and that without the repairs being promptly made the old bridge is very apt to become a source of danger and greater expense. PHYSICIAN'S HOME.

PREPARES BOOK. In order to provide what he describes as an urgent need, Ben Blow, manager good roads bureau of the California State Automobile Association, according to a letter recelved today by the supervisors of Alameda county, is preparing a book under the title "California Highways," which he says will describe the roads of the state as built by the counties and the Highway Commission. The book, he says, will be in popuJar form, profusely illustrated, and the supervisors are asked to spend $200 for a full writeup of the roads of Alameda county therein. The expense of the book is figured at $4000 and the countles are asked to share it prorata. Reciting a number of benefits resulting from its activities, the Callfornia Traffic Officers' Association today asked the county supervisors for a contribution of $50 to aid in carrying on the work.

The letter says that the association will hold a convention in Oakland from September 22 to 28, this year. The benefits enumerated include a system of interchange of warrants which has resulted in a "speedy apprehension of the standardization of traffic laws resulting in making motoring easy for strangers; developed A hearty cooperation between the motorists and the traffic officers for the benefit of all concerned, and established a uniform interpretation of headlight laws.

The natal day of the French, republic was celebrated in the churches with appropriate exercises and with band concerts. The United States Marine band gave a concert during the forenoon at the T. D.

theater for the beneft of the Defenders' Club, the program including the national airs of France, Belgium and the United States. The new marches by Souza and Caruso were played for the first time in Oakland and stirred the people to enthusiasm with their martial strains. WAR PICTURES SHOWN. War pictures were shown at the theater after the concert. At the churches silent prayers were said for the victory of the allied arms.

Four -minute speakers delivered appeals for victory for France and resolutions were adopted expressing the deep feelPing of sympathy the people have for the affliction of the French nation. The resolution was as follows: "Resolved, That the Fourteenth of July message is the sentiment of America's millions, that it delivered through Four- Minute Men Compre mittee on Public Information to the French ambassador for transmission to the people of France and this audience or congregation thousands that, of others this day or evening salute and honor our noble ally, the republic of France." The four -minute men delivered message from the government at the theaters and churches. The message said: "Liberty has two birthdays. One In the new world and one in the old. One 1s the anniversary of our Declaration of Independence on July 4.

It is the birthday of a nation in the new western world dedicated to the proposition that all men are created free and equal. That nation now fights for the preservation of its life that governments of the people, for the people and by the people shall not perish.
