WILSON'S CRITICS GET SHARP
REBUKE
(Continued from Page 1)
mind, ready to receive suggestions
from any quarter.
The outline of the League of Na
tions, after formulation by the com
missions of delegates, Senator Walsh
said, will be submitted to the confer
ence for consideration to emerge as
a completed work in much the Eame
way that the federal constitution
came from the Constitutional Con
vention.
Senator Hitchcock declared that
some of the President's critics were
thinking in terms of conditions as
they were before the war, when a
proposal to prevent international con
flicts might have been doomed to
failure.
"When this war began, of all the
great conquering empires that the
world had known, with their might
and their dream of conquest, only
three remained. Great Britain had
become a democracy, practically;
France had become a republic, on
the plan of our own great republic;
Italy had become a constitutional
monarchy. The neutral nations were
of similar character. Of all the
great nations of history dreaming of
conquest, three only remained Rus
sia, with her autocrat and her plan
of conquest to the Pacific ocean and
down toward the south ; Austria-Hungary,
which in our own day had swal
lowed up Bosnia and Herzegovinia,
and which was still pressing to the
East with her dream of conquest;
Germany, which in our own day had
seized Schleswig-Holstcm from Den
mark and Alsace - Lorraine from
France, absorbed for more than a
quarter of a century with the dream
of conquering the world those three
great empires were all that remain'
ed of the historic conquering nations
of the world. . They he in
the dust, dead forever, gone. With
their disappearance from the world
has disappeared the last lingering
obstacle to international peace per
petuated by an international agree
ment. So I say to the Senator from
Idaho (Borah), what could not have
been done by an international agree
ment before this war has become pos
siblo now.
"To me it is an inspiring sight
that battle that is going on in France
It is an inspiring sight because I see
a mighty conflict between the old
that is passing away and the new
that is coming. I see a mighty con
test between the sordid materialism
represented by the statesmen of the
past and the ideal represented by the
statesmen of the past and the ideal
represented by the statesmen of the
future. It seems to me appropriate
that the United States, which is a
nation of ideals, a nation of altruism,
a nation which has already become a
world benefactor, should take the
lead. We helped to create the Cub
an Republic. We aro even now gen
erously giving a new civilization to
the millions of people in the Philip
pine Archipelago, in the very shadow
of Asia. It seems to me that this
nation of ideals, this nation of an
altruistic record, that first proclaim
ed 140 years ago the Declaration of
Independence, is the one to lead."
DRAFT BOARD QUITS ON LAST
OF MARCH
(Continued from Page 1)
May was made chief clerk of the
board under Secretary Harrington,
and worked continuously until Jan
uary 1st this year, when Miss Har
rington, retiring county clerk, took
up the duties herself. An endless
amount of reports and government
red tape has been looked after by the
local board in a manner that has won
highest commendation from th e
state war department.
While the office work was all
handled by Miss Harrington and her
assistant, Miss May, Sheriff Wilson's
work came in largely in the investi
gation of questionnaire reports and
the executive duties attendant to
getting the hundreds of local men
safely off to mobilization camps.
The medical members of the board
confined their duties only to phys
ical examination, and were assisted
throughout by Dr. r.oy Pradden as
the vision examiner.
During the year 1019 alone, over
800 men were called to the colors
through the local board. This num
ber is exclusive of voluntary enlist
ments and inductions, all of which,
however, received final 0. K. through
the records of the local board. In
addition the tremendous task of
handling questionnaires for the 18 to
21, and the 31 to 45 classes, classi
fying and filing the same, was taken
care of efficiently.
Miss Harrington expects to retire
to private life following the cloning
Of course the quality of
material and good work
manship have much to do
with a satisfactory truss
but the most essential
5
of the board, leaving a fine record of
service to county and government.
The state at large has some 500
deserters who failed to return their
questionnaires and -who consequent
ly are listed as such. Clackamas
county has very few of this gentry.
In the orders received by Miss Har
rington, however, these men are to
be handled by the federal govern
ment, and a complete list will be
compiled and forwarded to Washing
ton. Government property of the
various boards is to be sold and the
extensive office records are to be
packed up securely and shipped to
the archives at Washington for ref
erence in future years when occas
ion may demand.
The assembling of the Oregon rec
ords for final shipment will probably
take place at state headquarters, ac
cording to Captain Cullison, of the
adjutant-general's office, although
that matter is put up to the region
al directors of the railroad adminis
tration, who may designate any
point they may see fit for assembling
the records. It is estimated that two
freight cars will be required to hold
the documents on their way to the
Washington archives.
Attorneys who served on legal
advisory boards and physicians on
the medical advisory boards are re
ceiving bronze buttons in recognition
of their work and it is expected that
draft board members will receive
some kind of a certificate upon the
final termination of their positions.

"Somewhere
I in France"
with
Arthur Guy Empey
I Author of "OVER THE TOP" I
(Continued from Last Week)
- "I, like a fool," listened fo her, and
gave an unwilling assent. The men
looked their gratitude. Jean, the man
servant, led them out to the barn,
where an abuudnnce of hay had been
spread for their beds. I was following,
when a whisper In my ear made my
head swim :
'"Don't go yet, my sergeant, stay
with me.'
"I stayed, worse luck.
"We sat on a settee, talking, and her
arm stole around my waist. I wasn't
slow, either, and as you know, Yank, I
have a pretty good reach. Once, she
spoke to me In French, but I shook my
head in bewilderment. In a few min
utes the servant returned, and Adrl
enne she told me her name called
him to her, and said :
" 'Jean, go down in the wine cellar
and get some of that old port nnd give
It to the soldiers of England. I'oor
boys, it will warm them.' She added
something In French I could not under
stand. Then she added:
" 'Leave a bottle here for the ser
geant and me.'
"I protested against more wine for
the boys. Her pleading overruled my
good Judgment, and I consented. The
servant left to do her mission, and I
proposed. Her answer was a kiss. I
was the happiest man In France.
"Presently Jean returned and silent
ly placing a bottle and two glasses on
the table withdrew. We were alone.
She took the bottle and, pouring out a
glass of wlno, touched it to her Hps
and handed it to me with this toast :
" 'Drink, my sergeant. Drink to our
betrothal. Drink to the honor of
France. Drink to the honor of Eng
land. Drink to the confusion of our
enemies.'
"I drank with my fool heart pound
ing against my ribs. Then blackness.
"When I awoke, I was lying on the
settee, my head bursting with pain.
The gruy dawn was filtering through
the curtained windows, und there, in
the middle of the room, with my Adri
enne In his arms, .stood a captain, of
Uhlans. I was a prisoner. I saw it all
In a flash. She had betrayed me. Now
I knew why she had wanted no guard
posted. That wine we pledged our
trotb In was drugged. What an ass I'
had been !
"I closed my eyes and pretended to
be asleep. They were tulklng In Ger
man. " Pretty soon the captain came
over and roughly shook me. I only
grunted. With nn exclamation of dis
gust, ho culled out In German. Two
troopers came In and, lifting nie by the
shoulders and feet, carried me out into
the air. I slightly opened my eyes and
"You Poor English Fool I Make Love
to Me, Will You7"
saw that I was being carried out to the
gate, where two horses were standing
wllh llielr reins thrown over a hitching
post. By the equipment I knew one of
the horses belonged to the captain,
M lille the other was the orderly's. The
two troopers dumped me down on the
road, one giving me a kick with his
boot. 1 was lying on my left side, and
by a certain hard pressure on in'y rlhs
I knew they had neglected to search
me. That pressure was my automatic
pistol. A feeling of exultation rushed
over me. 1 would euchre them yet.
"Fate worked Into my hand:). A linll
in German came from the stables, and
one of the troopers left to answer It.
The odds were even, one against one.
1 slowly turned over on my face, as If
In sleep, and my fingers grasped the
butt of the automatic, but just then 1
heard steps on the gravel walk. The
captain and Adrlenne were coming to
ward mo.
"She stopped beside me nnd said In
English:
'"You poor English fool! Make
love to mo, will you? Good-by, my
foolish sergeant. While you are rot
ting In prison think of your Adrlenne,
buhl'
"My hnnd gave the butt of my auto
matic just the slightest squeeze. 1
was thinking of her hand on my
shoulder. Well, two could play that
game.
"The captain said something to the
orderly, who left In the direction of
the house. Now was my chance.
Springing to my feet and leveling the
pistol at the captain, I grabbed tho
reins of his horse from the post and
mounted. The orderly came running
toward mo, yelling out In German, and
I could see soldiers emerging from the
stable. I had to act quickly.
"When I mounted, tho captain
reached for his revolver. I. covered
hlin with mlno and, with a shriek of
terror, Adrlenne threw herself In
front of the Uhlnn captain to protect
him. I saw her too late. My bullet
Jllll
pierced fier fert urease, nuu
smudge ' showed on her white silk
blouse as she sank to the ground. I
shot the orderly's horse to prevent im
mediate pursuit and then away on a
mod gallop down the road. It was a
long chase, but I escaped them.
"The rest of my men were captured.
At our headquurters I had to lie like
a trooper. Told them we had been
ambushed and wiped out It was the
only way to save my skin. There
were no witnesses against me, so I
got off with reduction to the ranks and
a transfer to another regiment. They
smelled a rat. all right, but had .no
proof.
"So that Is my story, Yank. Just
forget that I ever told It to you.
Enough to make a fellow get the blues
occasionally, Isn't it? Just pass me a
fag, and take that look off your face."
I gave him the cigarette and, with
out a word, went out of the dugout
and left him alone. I was tmniung or
Adrlenne.
Upon reaching the trench I paused
In wonder and fright. The sky was
alight with a red glare. The din was
terrific. A constant swishing and
rushing through the air, Intermingled
with a sighing moan, gave tes
timony that our batteries were
sweating blood. The trench seemed
to be rolling like a ship. I stood in
awe. This bombardment of ours was
something indescribable, and a shud
der passed through me as I thought
of the havoc and destruction caused
in the German lines. At that moment
I really pitied the Germans, but not
for long, because suddenly hell seemed
to burst loose from the German lines
ns their artillery opened up. I could
hear their "five-nines" screeching
through the air and bursting in the
artillery lines In our rear. Occasion
ally a far-off rura-hum-rump-rump,
Crash ! Bru-u-nn-u-gg I could be heard
ns one of their high-calibered shells
came over and burst in our reserve.
I crouched against the parados, hardly
able to breathe. While in this position,
right overhead, every instant getting
louder, came a German shell hlz-z-z I
bang-g-g ! I was blinded by the flash.
Down I went, into the mud. Strug
gling to my feet In the red glare of the
bombardment.
I saw that the traverse on my left
had entirely disappeared. Covered
with mud, weak and trembling. 1 could
hear what sounded like far-distant
voices coming from the direction of
the bashed-In traverse.
"Blime me, get 'Is bloomln' napper
outa th' mud; "e's chokin' to death.
Pass me a bondage tyke 'is b'yonet
fer a splint. BUme me, 'Is leg Is
smashed, not arf h'lt h'alnt. Th' rest
o' you blokes 'op it fer a stretcher.
'Ello, 'e's got another one quick, a
tourniquet, the poor bloke's a'bleedln'
to death. Quick, h'up against the par
apet, 'ere comes another."
Whlz-z-z! Bang-g-g!
Another flare, and once again I was
thrown Into the mud. I opened my
eyes. Bending over me, shnking me
by the shoulder was Atwell. His voice
sounded faint and far away. Then I
came to with a rush.
"Blime me, Yank, that was a close
one. Did it get you?"
He helped me to my feet and I felt
myself all over. Seeing 1 was all
right, he yelled In my ear:
"We've got to leg It out of ere.
Fritz is sure sendln' over 'whiz-bangs'
and 'mlnnies.' Number 0 platoon in
the next fire bay sure clicked It. About
eighteen of them have gone West.
Come on, we'll see If we can do any
thing for the poor blokes."
We plowed through the mud and
came Into the next fire bay. In the
light of tho bursting shells an awful
sight met our eyes. The traverses were
baslied In, the fire step was gone, and
In the parados was n hole that looked
like a subway entrance. There was
mud nnd blood.
Every now and then, ducking as a
"whiz-bang" or "mlnnle" came over,
we managed to get four of the wound
ed on the stretchers, and Atwell and
I carried one to the rear to the first
aid dressing station. We passed the
dugout which I had left but a few
minutes before, or at least, what used
to be tho dugout, but now all that
could he seen was a caved-ln mass JE
dirt ; huge square-cut timbers sticking
out of the ground and silhouetted
against the light from bursting shell-:,
looking like huge giants. A shudder
passed through me ns I realized that
If we had stayed In the dugout we
would have now been lying fifteen to
twenty feet down, covered by that
caved-ln earth and wreckage.
Atwell jerked his head in the direc
tion of tho smashed-in dugout, and, as
wits his wOnt, remarked :
"How about that fancy report you
were writing out a few minutes ago?
Didn't I tell you that it never paid to
make out reports In the front line?
It's best to wait until you grt to head
quarters, because what's the use of
wasting all that bally time when
you're liable to be burled In a
dugout?"
Turning my head to listen to Atwell, I
ran plump Into a turn In the trench.
A shout came from the form on the
stretcher:
"Why in the bloody 'ell don't you
blokes look where you're goln'? You'd
think this was a bloomln' Picadllly
buss, and I was out with my best girl
on a joy-ride."
I mumbled my apologies and the
form relapsed Into silence. Then the
muddy Tommy on the stretcher began
to mumble. Atwell asked him If he
wanted anything. With a howl of rage
he answered:
"Of all tho bloody nerve do I want
anything only a bloody pair o'
crutches, a dish of 'fish and chips'
and a glawss of stout."
When we came to the first nld dress
ing station we turned our eharge over
to some R. A. M. C. men, and ducking
and running through the communica
tion trench, we at last reached one of
the roomy and safe "elephant dug
outs." At Inst we were safe. Stum
bling over the feet of men we came to
nn unoccupied corner and sat down In
the straw. Several candles were burn
ing. Grouped around these candles
were a lot of Tommies, their faces pale
and n frightened look In their eyes
Strange to sny, the conversation had
nothing to do with themselves. They
wore sympathizing with the poor fel
lows In the front line who were click-
WIFE DENIES ALLEGATIONS
IN HUSBAND'S COMPLAINT
Lena Delia Drape filed affidavits
in the circuit court here charging
that her husband, Leon T. Draper,
has made false statements against
her m his divorce complaint now on
record.
Draper, after arriving from over
seas from the service, filed divorce
proceedings against his wife charg
ing her with improper conduct while
he was in the army. Mrs. Draper, in
her counter affidavit filed Saturday,
claims that the charges are ' false
and without foundation. She alleges
that Draper enlisted in the army
with her consent, and that she was
forced to- go to work afterward to
support herself and baby.
She further claims that she left
her three-months-old baby with J. W.
Draper, in Portland, father of the
husband, and that she paid him $10
per month for its keep. She further
alleges in her affidavit that the whole
case has been fostered by her father-in-law,
J. W. Draper, and that he
has withheld letters from her hus
band from overseas. She claims that
the father-in-law took her child and
went to Camp Lewis to meet her
husband, telling her nothing of his
arrival in this country. Through her
attorney, Hume, of Portland, she ask;
ed $100 suit money, and $50 for her
support while the case is pending in
court. Tho court allowed her $20
suit money and $50 attorney's fees,
while the case is "being tried in
court.
MYERS, OF OSWEGO, ARREST
ED ON CHARGE OF CRUELTY
Having two head of his stock kill
ed because the animals were hardly
able to stand for lack of food, and
being arrested on the charge of
cruelty to animals, was the fate of
E. H. Myers, of Oswego, Monday.
Humane Officer L. D. Norris, of
Portland, made the arrest, and E. G.
Caufield of this city, swore out the
complaint against Myers. The offic
ers went to the home of Myers Wed
nesday to investigate tho condition
of his stock, after having their at
tention called to the matter. They
found the stock ill-fed, with no shel
ter, and the animals in bad condition.
Myers was arrested and brought to
this city to the district attorney's of
fice. As the circuit court is now in
session, District Attorney Hedges
was unable to hear the' case Wednes
day, but Myers will have a prelim
inary hearing on March 22.
INCOME TAX ON "BAD
DEBTS" NOW DEDUCTED
"Numerous inquiries have been re
ceived concerning the allowance for
'bad debts' in the filing of an income
tax return," said Collector of Inter
nal Revenue, Milton A. Miller.
"Bad debts recognized as such
prior to the taxable year 1918 are
not deductible. Only such debts ag
have been charged off as worthless
within the year may be claimed.
Where all surrounding circumstances
indicate that a debt is uneollectible
and that legal action to enforce pay
ment, in all probability, would be use
less, a showing of these facts is suf
ficient evidence of the worthlessness
of the debt for the purpose of de
duction." Bankruptcy may or may not be an
indication of the worthlessness of a
debt. Actual determination of such
worthlessness in such cases is pos
sible only when settlement in bank
ruptcy is made. Only the difference
between the amount received in dis
tribution and the amount of the claim
may be considered as a bad debt.
The difference between the amount
received by a creditor in distribution
of a decedent's estate and the amount
of the creditor's claim may be con
sidered a worthless debt."
SCHOLARS VOTE 40 TO 2
IN FAVOR OF UNION HIGH
Last Friday, Professor Romig, of
the Willamette 'school, asked the
scholars to take a straw vote on the
proposed Union high school, which
will include West Linn, Bolton and
Willamette. The professor requested
tho scholars to vote the same way
as their parents would, and the vote
resulted 40 for the Union school and
two against. The people of the
Willamette vicinity are very anxious
to have the proposed measure go
through, and are working toward that
end.
ALLDREDGE RESTING EASILY

became entangled in a drive shaft,
which lifted him bodily from the
floor, breaking several ribs, his
ankle,, and giving him a blow unon
