Count Cxernln. the Austro-Hnngarian Minister of Foreign Affairs. In an address to the Austrian delegation In the Relchrath. bad laid bare for the people of a nation war worn and desirous of peace, the stand of the dual monarchy toward the peace alms as stated by President Wilson and David Lloyd George, the British prime Minister. While oeclaring that the CoTernment was In rlrtual agreement with some of the peace aims of President Wilson and that the differences which still exist did not appear to be so great that a conversation regarding them would not lead to enlightenment and a rap- prochement which might bring togeth er all the allied states In peace nego tiations, the dominant note in the ad dress was his plea to the delegations for their support in the crisis and the making known of the fact that Austria Is In straits for food. Xatlea Keeda T4. The Foreign .Minister laid strees on the negotiations with Russia and par ticularly with the Ukraine. "I wish to use peace with these Rus sian states which possess foodstuffs available for export to assist our popu latlon." he said. If the erroneous Impression was cre ated among the enemies of the dual monarchy that It must absolutely con elude peace Immediately a peace at any price "then we shall not have a single bushel of wheat." the Minister concluded. The Count In the course of his ad dress said that Austria waa not seeking annexationa or Indemnities. "I declare once again that I demand pot a square meter or a kreutzer from Kussia and that If Russia, as seems the case, adopts the same point of view, peace ought to result. Thoe who wish peace at any price might be able to cast doubts upon my loyalty if I did not tell them to their fire, with the same categoric frank ness that I shall never agree to con rtude a peace exceeding the limits which I have Just Indicated. "Once more. It can be stated that there Is no reason to draw the peas! mis tic conclusion that the peace nego nations will fall, for the commissions which are conferring are agreed to the principle of peace without annexations or indemnities ani only new Instruc tions from various Russian govern meats and their disappearance could change this status. The Minister said the two most seri ous difficulties which are the cause of the negotiations not proceeding as quickly as everyone could wish, were: "That we are not dealing with one Interrogator. but hare to negotiate with various newly created Russian states with Russia, as represented by Petrocrad: with the Ukraine, with Fin land and with the Caucasus directly, and with others who. for the moment, are not represented at the Brest- Litovsk negotiations. .ta-reeaaeat Is Reached. "With the Ukraine we have already advanced far. We came to an agree ment on the basis of no annexation and no Indemnities, and we have already agreed to a great extent that commer cial relations should be resumed. "Regarding, the Poland frontier, which up to the present has not been exactly fixed, we do not desire any thing at all from this new state. The people of ''Poland must freely and without being Influenced. In any way. settle their own destiny. I see in the desire of Poland the only guarantee for lasting harmony. I am Irrevocably of the opinion that the Polish question ought not to delay peace for a day." Poland Called ladepeadeat. Count Czernln said he would willing ly have seen Poland participating In the peace negotiations, for in his view Po land waa an Independent state. "Another difficulty undoubtely Is the divergence of view between Germany and the Russian government on the in terpretation of the right of the Rus sian peoples to decide their own des tinies In the territories occupied by German troops. Germany has no In tention of making any territorial con quest by violence at the expense of Jtusrla. but the difference of opinion In of a two-fold character. Germany adopts the legitimate point of view that the numerous expressions of the will of the people for Independence and autonomy should be considered as the provisional basis of the opinion of the peoples, which subsequently could be ascertained by popular vote on ex tended bases. Russia Oppssea View. "The Russian government still op poses this point of view as regards iCoaclwdsd ea i.e. i Column S. Loss of Life Believed IIcstj Four- teen Bodies Already Recovered.

One Mexican, who was directing the fire from the Mexi can side of the river, was seen to top ple from his horse. According to the officer in command of the Infantry company on duty at the bridge, the firing started when sev eral groups of Mexicans supposed to have been smugglers attempted to cross the river.

OREGON SENDS APPROVAL Eastern Press Takes Deep Interest In Clash Over War Department, bnt Many Papers Refrain From Making Comment. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash lngton, Jan. 25. Because Colonel Roose velt has voiced hearty approval of Sen ator Chamberlain's efforts to inject ef ficiency Into the military administra tion and to purge the service of incom petents. Administration leaders have started out to make the War Depart ment row a partisan Issue. They are already resorting to camouflage in charging that the Oregon Senator and T. R. are in "cahoots." One Adminis tration spokesman says Senator Cham berlain's charges will be discounted be cause they are Indorsed by the Colonel, Frieada Admit Error. At the same time Democrats gener ally freely admit the President erred in personally impeaching Senator Cham berlain, for in so doing he forced the Senator to defend himself and to sub stantiate the charges made in his New York speech. Senator Chamberlain today received hundreds of telegrams congratulating him and thanking him for his speech of yesterday. Over 100 came from Ore gon; some came from nearly every state in the Union. The Senator's speech was liberally printed In Eastern papers, but. few of them have yet commented editorially. Truth Issue Again Raised. The New Tork World, still defending the President, says: 'In the opinion of Senator Chamber lain, smarting under the sting of per sonal rebuke from the White House, President Wilson does not know the truth. "Nothing could be more ridiculous than Senator Chamberlain's statement that President Wilson does not know the truth about the war. There Is no man in the world who knows more about it than President Wilson. There Is no evidence that the Cham berlain committee ever sought the broad facts about the conduct of the war. It was mainly engaged in muck raking the War Department, in listen- ng to the complaints of disappointed contractors and in finding minor short comings to criticise. If the Chamber lains were to have their way the pres ent war machinery of the United States would be wrecked." The New York Tribune, saying that Concluded on Pace 2, Column 4.)

WOMAN. IS EXPECTED TO DIE Confession of Marriage to Both Men Is Made. CLARENCE GUY ASSAILANT Mrs. Gladys Guy Deliberately Fired Upon for Refusal to Leave Sec ond Husband Warning Saves Latter From Similar Fate. Clarence Guy, 2G, shot and probably fatally wounded the woman he claims as his wife yesterday at 313 Stanton street, because, he says, the woman re fused to desert Ranslaer Morden, whom she claims as her husband. In a statement to Deputy District Attorney Hammersley at the Emanuel Hospital last night, the wounded woman admitted having married both men. She says she married Guy under her stepmother's name of Pensilen, but "considered the marriage illegal because she did not use her own name of Clark. Therefore, she says, she felt free to marry Morden. Wounded Woman la 10. The woman in the queer triangle of domestic life formerly was Miss Gladys Clark, of Eugene. She is 19 years old. She is wounded in the left side and in the back, and it is believed that she will die. The assassin fired at her three times. Guy declares the woman Is, his wife and says he married her in Vancou ver, Wash., November 15, 1917, Judge Black officiating:, and the files of The Oregonian show that a marriage li cense was Issued on that date to Clar ence Guy and Gladys Pensilen. Morden, on the other hand, is em phatic In the declaration that he is the lawful husband and says they were married in Vancouver by a Methodist minister at the home of a Presbyterian pastor, January 4, 1918, and the files of The Oregonian show that a license was issued upon that date to Ranslaer Morden and Emellne Clark, both of Portland. Morden Warned of Danger. After emptying three chambers of a 38-callber revolver In his attempt to murder the woman, Guy endeavored to reach the plant of the Columbia River Shipbuilding Corporation, where Mor den was employed, intending to kill him, but the police, under the personal direction of Chief Inspector Clark, "covered" that place and located the marked man in time to save his life. He was also warned by relatives. Be fore the would-be assassin could exe cute his plan the man who otherwise might have been his second victim was rushing to Emanuel Hospital, to which place the object ot Guy's wrath was hurried. . While the police scoured the city for him, Guy refilled his revolver and sped for his next Intended victim, but upon learning that he was watched, changed his plans and returned to his rooms at the Gem apartments. First and Harri son streets, where Inspector Goltz awaited him. Doctors Work Desperately. Meanwhile, desperate efforts were being made to save the woman's life, Dr. A. H. Cantrll performing a blood- transfusion operation, from Mord and Harvey Clark, her brother, whose home Is in Eugene. At police headquarters, Guy confessed the whole thing, declaring that he shot and attempted to kill the woman be cause she left him and ran away with Morden. He said he shot at her three times and thought two hit her. He aimed low, he said, because he did not wish to kill her instantly, desiring to see her suffer before being relieved by death. He was very bitter, attributing it all to her leaving him for the other man. Morten and his friends declare that she was never married to Guy, but that the latter wished her to go to San Francisco with him and enter the underworld; that he took out a license at Vancouver, giving an assumed name for her, so that, should they ever be orrested, her true name would not come to light. Guy Charges Desertion. Guy told the police and Deputy Dis trict Attorneys Collier and Ryan, who took his statement at headquarters, that the woman and Morden met at a dance in Arion Hall, at Second and Oak streets, a few weeks ago, and that she became infatuated with Morden and finally left Guy. Guy says he was born in Dallas, Or., and that the woman was from Salem. She. however, lived at 22 North Broad way, this city, up to a short time ago, under the name of Gladys Clark. Details of the shooting are graphi cally related by Mrs. O. R. Dlmick, of 557 Williams avenue, a sister of the woman, who was shot, who was pres- nt at the time. Gladys was nervous all afternoon," said Mrs. Dimick "She kept opening the door and looking, as if she were afraid of someone who was coming. When Clarence Guy showed up, a little after 3 o'clock, she went out in the hall to talk to him, and left mu In her room.
