(Copyright by the New Tork World. Pub lished by Arrangement.) The circumstances surrounding this Interview are exceptional. The man speaking-, probably the best observer living, had completed a world tour the day before. I went over to his hotel at Cap d'Ail, near Monte Carlo, and said: '"We have all been read lng your messages, sir, but they, are not enough. What I want is a com plete and deliberate estimate, vow that you. are back, of the things which you have learned since I saw you off from New York- last July. I handed the temporary Invalid a list of. 20 questions which he pro ceeded to digest a short while. Then he began dictating slowly, with pauses here and there. The dictation was spread over two days and lasted four hours. My purpose in stating the above is to stress the fact that what follows is the lesson learned by the first man -of such unique ability and situation aver to travel the world, a man of vision who can see away and beyond. no lesr than actuality itself, and one who, having seen, cares but for the one solitary thing his conception of the truth. ' Lord Northcliffe said other things unrecorded below, they being about other matters, but which I have his permission to quote, such as: "The mutual Ignorance and indif- ference displayed by one part of the world toward the other is at the root of much of our trouble." A. very wonderful success was achieved at Washington because they had a strong chairman. We have suf fered from the lack of such a chair man at our numberless and needless European conierences. "France will pull through despite what you tell me may have happened in my absence. France is a great country." "I heard a lot about Ireland when away, but as to the suggestion that the right of secession may be brought up by the Irish free state at the, next imperial conference why anybody mentioning secession in Australia or New Zealand would get very short Ehrift." "How those bearing the white man's burden bless Mr. Wilson for his self determination phrase!" x "Give Germany back some colonies? I heard little of Germans or of Ger many in my particular way round the world.'! There was humor too in the inter view as when I sought to bring this purveyor of news for the million up to date as to what had occurred in Europe since last summer. With stacks of his own newspapers piled high around the room he was trying to read up events it seemed almost as if he were vexed at their having occurred without him but of Cannes he knew little, of Genoa naught. "The most striking thing I have learned from these papers is the num ber of people whose lives have touched mine who have gone in seven short months. One hundred and fifty at least. But I had traveled always and know men in all lands." Of Cannes he said: "Lloyd George Concluded on Page 14. Column 1.) ; - - I ; . ' , " .... - ; i V . . . ' . .......

A revolution took place yesterday when the student council abolished all of the old rules for university women, and set up a new code, consisting of nine simple rules. The effect ot the new code is to place. leBs restriction and more re sponsibility for personal conduct on the students. The new rules . are: There may be no dancing parties within two weeks preceding final term examinations; Quiet hours shall be maintained during the week after 7:30 P.. M. Calling hours shall close at 10:30 P. M. except nights preceding school holidays, when the hours shall be 12 P. M. ; - Evening dances shall be scheduled with the dean of women one week before the dance is to be given. Girls shall be in their residences not later than 10:30 after picnics and canoeing parties. All picnics must be adequately chaperoned by persons approved by the house chaperones or the dean of women. . . Students are forbidden to shoot the rapids at the head of the mill race, Students . are not to participate in hazing In any manner. Offenders against the good order and discipline and especially offend ers against the university and stu dent honor are likely to be consid ered unsuitable for membership in the university body and as such are subject to summons before the stu dent council. These rules practically govern the conduct of the university women and were passed entirely by the students themselves.

PESSIMISM IS RELATED Future In Columbia and Clatsop Counties Is Declared to Be Serious Slatter. BY JOHN W. KELLY. ASTORIA, Or, March 18. (Spe cial.) Many farms in Columbia and Clatsop counties do not yield, in rent enough to pay the taxes. Log ged-off lands' in Columbia county, for which there is absolutely no market, are assessed from $5 to 830 an acre. Some people have stopped paying taxes in Astoria and , have submitted to city, county, and state taking their real estate. Such were some of the statements made to the state tax investigation commission today. Pressure of taxes, particularly in Astoria and Clatsop county, is such that in this section the people are as pessimistic as they are in Mal heur, as shown at the La Grande hearing earlier in the week. As in eastern Oregon counties, the demand for a reduction in taxes is insistent and many of the suggestions here tofore made to the commission have been repeated. Income Tax Is Favored. Particularly do taxpayers favor a state income tax as a method oi equalizing the burden and lightening the load n real property. Also there are advocates of a poll tax and there "is an insistence for the aboli tion of various commissions and the elimination of everything that is not a prime necessity, Not only is the present situation uncomfortable, but the future is far from alluring. In fact, the future is a serious matter. About half of -the taxes of Columbia ' and Clatsop counties, the commission . was in formed, comes from timber. The forests of these counties are being steadily wiped out and it is only , a matter of years when scarred and jagged stumps are left and instead of timber there will -be nothing but cut-over lands of small value. What will these counties do then? The question was propounded to the commission by taxpayers wno sup plied the answer themselves, an in come tax. Timber Taxes Are High. Timber owners came to Astoria two years ago and protested against an increase in the valuation of 40 per . h aHuxori accnrriincr tn A osborn. local banker, who added that any taxpayer who asks for econ omy is belittled. Taxes on timber are now so high that owners cannot hold The 40 per cent increase in valuation was brought about by the port of Astoria, so that more money, could be raised to complete its municipal terminals, a magnificent plant, com plete and strictly modern, but which is now paying. The tax rate in Astoria is higher than that which Germans must pay to liquidate the indemnity imposed by the allies was the startling declara tion of Judge J. H. Smith, "and," he added, "authorities have said that Germany can never pay the bill. Where do we get off?" " ! Recommendations Are Made. The Astoria chamber of commerce presented the following list of rec ommedations through a committee consisting of A. W. . Norblad, J. & Dellinger, J. C. Fulton.

With a dramatic plea which held both court officials and police court loungers spellbound by its eloquence. Gregory Royes, a native Filipino youth, won his way to freedom yes terday after he had been arrested as a suspected thief and vagrant. P.oyes was arrested with Clarence Strand, a drunk, after Strand had com plained to Patrolman Huntington that he had been robbed of a small amount of money. Royes was with Strand at the time and the police suspected he had "touched" the inebriated logger. "May it please your honor, - I beg that you do not pass judgment upon me because of the rags which I am forced to wear before rou today " pleaded . the Filipino youth, as he squared his shoulders and faced Judge Rossman. "I want you to believe me when I say that I am not what I ap pear to be. "I came to America from my island home in search of a broad education which would help me among my peo ple. I have graduated from one . of your high schools and last year I at tended the University of Washington.

SERVICE TO BE REGULAR Hundreds of Receiving Stations In Oregon and Washington Are to Be Served. The Oregonian yesterday completed installation ot a powerful station for radio telephone broadcasting. It is the first newspaper enterprise of the kind in Oregon and has been taken up because of the phenomenal prog ress of interest in the radio phone. The Oregonian's station is built to give a regular and permanent serv ice to the hundreds of receiving sta tions in Oregon and Washington. First tests of the station will be made today or tomorrow and it is expected that within a week concerts, weather forecasts, occasional news bulletins and intelligence of general interest will be sent out daily. The station has been installed in a room Just under the big clock in The Ore gonian tower and aerials have been sp.-ead into the air fbr a distance of 70 feet to the top of a 60-foot steel mast erected on the roof. The sta tion is the result of plans made two months ago. . All Oregon to Be Covered. The Oregonian's station will cover all Oregon with ease and its broad casting will reach throughout the northwest and, undoubtedly, to all parts of the Pacific coast, to Mexico and Alaska.' Under all conditions, it is expected to project' the human voice 600 miles, while under favorable circumstances many times , that dis tance will be bridged. When set up in a New York labora tory for testing. The Oregonian's ap paratus flung the human voice, both in music and the spoken word, from Halifax to Georgia and as far west as Chicago. Receiving stations re ported in those tests that the mes sages were received "QrfA," the radio expression for "strong and loud." . The new steel tower on The Ore gonian root tnat leaus tne lour an tennae wires from the sending sta tion up into the air are 1H2 feet above the street. The antennae are them selves 70 feet long and have a coun terpoise directly underneath and stretched a few feet above the roof that is used as an additional ground. This, according to radio engineers, gives greater radiation, than the ordi nary ground used alone, as it . is said to rfiduce the antennae resistance to a minimum. ? Speech Amplifier Cued. The apparatus for The Oregonian tation was assembled by the Ship owners Kadio service, inc., or rew York, from parts made by the Gen eral Electric company. J. B. Weed, manager of the local branch of the radio service, said the transmitting apparatus consists of three 50-watt power vacuum tubes, one of which used as a speech amplifier, the second as the modulator and the third as oscillator. The Heising circuit is used in the modulation and the Col petts circuit as the oscillating unit. Various transformers and condens ers have been placed throughout the several circuits .nd used as is nec essary to the generation of electrical oscillations and for the modulation of the voice and music.
