THE MORNING OREGONIAN. JUNE 7, 1915. PORTLAND'S PEACE MEMBERS OF AMERICAN DELEGATION TO PEACE CONFERENCE, PHOTOGRAPHED AT THE DIERENTUIN, THE HAGUE. YOUNG VOICES RISE Children's Day Observed in Portland Churches. Miss Degraff Says Attendance at The Hague Was Wonder ful Experience. PRETTY EXERCISES HELD 6 WOMAN BACK HUE 9 m ALL LOOK TO AMERICA Delegates From Warring Nations Are Pathetic in Their Hope of United States Kepresentatives Leading Them Right. ' BY EDITH KNIGHT- HOLMES. Portland's own original "Peacette" kas returned. Miss Grace De Graff, president of the Leag-ue of Teacher Associations, who attended The Hague conference held by the Women's Peace Party, is back in her own home town. The English christened the distinguished women co workers "peacettes." The women took the title good-naturedly, vowing they'd never tell In America what they had been called by Johnny Bull. But it was too good to keep. And the Secret is out. So insert the word in your dictionaries for future use. "It was a wonderful trip, a great ex perience and a responsibility to carry the message to all the women of this part of the country," said Miss Da Graff yesterday, a few hours after she had arrived from Europe. "The best part of all is to oe home once more. "So many of my freinds read in Tha Oregonian that I had spoken in Seattle and would be here today that the phone has been busy ever since I got in." While she was being Interviewed Miss De Graff was Interrupted by sev eral calls, while flowers and boxes of candy were sent in to the home-comer. Reporters Seek Sensation. "The English papers called us 'peac ettes and at firt we didn't like it very well," said Miss De Graff, "and some of the reporters and correspond ents tried to stir up something sensa tional about the conference in order to make a 'story,' but there was nothing sensational about that gathering. It was a meeting which proved the soli darity between women of all the world. ,It demonstrated that there is a bond between women more remarkable than anyone had ever before dreamed existed. There was In that conference dignity and an atmosphere of profound solemnity. Women were realizing what war really meant to women, to children, to the entire race. "It was pathetic to see the way In which women of all nationalities looked to American women for inspiration and help. "On all sides I heard the women ex pressing confidence in the Judgment of President Wilson. One of the strong est arguments for disarmament among the delegates seemed to be that long borderline between the United States and Canada which for so many years has been unfortified and yet between the countries it divides there is perfect Ffir of Spies la General. "When I landed in New York." paid Miss De Graff. "I seemed to feel a weight off my shoulders: I was free. Over there it was said constantly, 'Be careful, maybe there are spies near.' The tfar of spies seems to be general. It makes one feel like a scared child with ghosts and bogeymen hovering about." Great admiration for Miss Jane Ad dams was expressed by Miss De Graff. She said: "I think all her life has been a preparation for this great task. She has mingled with women of all nations and has seen their hearts, and she knew how to talk to them. Her life, too, has been a preparation for the starting of a great movement that will make for tt new consciousness among women of the whole world. "I feel sure that every woman who attended that great conference will never rest while she knows that other women are suffering, that homes are being made desolate and great burdens are falling on innocent shoulders, and all because of unnecessary war." Requests for Speeches Made. Miss De Graff will go back to her regular work today. She is principal of the Kenton School. Already she is being besieged with requests'" for speeches. She left Portland twc. months ago, going first to Chicago to join Miss Addams, who had invited her to he one of the party. She was Miss Addams' guest at Hull Kouse for a ehort time. In New York a party of 41 assembled anil took the Noordam for their desti nation. They were on the water 14 - -J mi . J iM V- tt lish Channel and had to wait four days. "We were anxious for news." said Miss De Graff in telling of her experi ences while held up in British waters. The captain had not received any wire less messages on account of the 'va riety of 'the nationalities of his passen gers and they waited with never a word from the outside world. At last some One brought a newspaper aboard. Lewis Lochner. the one man of the party, was delegated to read tnat paper and he began at the top of the first page and read every line." School Kept on Ship. On the way over the party kept school. Every morning there were lec tures on. peace. In the afternoon the resolution proposed by the Dutch wom en was considered. "First we voted to adopt it and the next day we recon sidered it," explained Miss De Graff. "We were anxious to be fair. We didn't want to attempt the impossible and yet we wanted to stand by the Dutch wom en In their plea for the calling of a truce. We had a peace library aboard apd we studied it diligently. "All the English women who started out to that conference didn't get over, but the two who went by way of Nor way were in attendance. Two delegates from each country were allowed on the platform. As the Belgian women were detained and were late. Miss Addams Invited all five delegates to the plat form the last day. Reports of this ac tion were, I believe, misunderstood." nf ie 14 YintinTinHtleu rnrosun f aA the women all seemed tremendously in earnest. They seemed to realize that women and children are the jrratest sufferers from war, and they Want It to be brought to a close. Germans Say Best Men Go. The German delegates said that the war is taking the best men of ability and brains and Marie Engelmann's lit tle verses entitled "Protest" created a profound impression. It was read in her native German. That the training of children in this and all countries has been wrong, is Miss De Graff's opinion. She says that men and events connected with war and military doings have been too .greatly emphasized and that children in the schools are not taught to think and to do, but rather have the old variety 'of military supervision in which they ai t watched all the time and are not made to reason. It i V Vi RAILWAY HEAD HOME D. W. Campbell Returns From Extended Stay in East. PROSPERITY SIGNS NOTED Great Attendance of Middle West ern Residents at I'air in Fall Predicted; Xo New Railroad Building Expected in 1915. D. W. Campbell! assistant general manasrer In charge of the northern district of the Southern Pacific, ith headquarters in Portland, returned here yesterday to get acquainted all over again with his home city. Represent ing the company at the conference be tween officials of 58 Western railroads and their employes, and later at the meetings of a board of arbitration, Mr. Campbell has been in Portland not quite two months in the last 16. He has remained actively in charge of his district Just the same, for he took a secretary to Chicago with him and handled by telegraph all matters requiring his attention. Regarded from every viewpoint, tho 13 months he put in at the conference and arbitra tion sessions were anything but a pleasant little vacation period. "I was in Chicago so lone, they wanted to make me pay taxes there," said Mr. Campbell grimly, after he and Mrs. Campbell, who has been In the Kast with him for the last six months, had got comfortably settled at home. Opinion Is Reserved. "There is little to say about, the. find ings of the arbitration board. They are seemingly satisfactory to both the railroads and the employes. No fore cast as to how they will work out can. be made until they have been tried for a few months, but we hope that, after careful consideration, they will be ac cepted permanently. By the agreement made before the board met, both rail roads and employes must abiae by these findings for one year, or until May 1, 1916." Mr. Campbell said that a more sub stantial feeling than there was a year ago is noticeable in the Middle West, and that there is general sentiment that business conditions are better. He said he found many persons who ex pected to come West In the Summer and especially next Fall, after the har vesting is completed. "Almost everybody who is figuring on taking a vacation expects to come out to see the San Francisco fair," he said; "and the fair is certainly worth seeing. Mrs. Campbell and I were in San Francisco a few days, and we found it beautiful and unique among expositions. I have seen a lot of ex positions, but none that I have liked so well. Nobody in the Northwest should fail to see It." Mr. Campbell said railroad construc tion generally will be in abeyance this year. Coast Line Due in December. "The railroads are well supplied with new lines." he explained. "What we need is better development of the lines already built. No new construction wall be undertaken by the Southern Pacific in pregon this year, for we feel that we have plenty of lines here now. Development of these lines, and of the country they tap is the Im portant thing at present. "Construction of the Willamette Pa cific to Marshfleld will be pushed for ward without cessation until it is finished. That probably will be about the latter part of December. As soon as I have time to attend to many pressing matters that have been awaiting my return here, I expect to make a trip over the Willamette Pa cific, inspecting not only the portion of the line already completed, but the new construction work. Only about 35 miles of the road remain to be put in shape for the laying of steel, but there is some very heavy construc tion on that end." Mr. Campbell hopes to remain in Portland until the end of the month at least. He left Portland to attend the wage conferences in Chicago on February 14, 1314, and dldn t get back to Portland until about the middle of October. On November X he went back to attend the arbitration hearings and was there continuously until May 1. JAPAN DREAWIS DOMINATION (Continued From First Page.) such avenues by creating demands at home that will absorb every possibility. The only remaining hope in sight for Japan .is .either reform., of. her own system, so that her revenues may be devoted to domestic civil development, or the absorption 'of China and control of the vast Chinese possibilities. The military party in Japan which is more firmly in the ascendancy than ever before, has come at last to realize that Japan can never be a truly great and independent military nation until she has achieved financial independ ence. . The militarists are ready, therefore, to exert the utmost effort, ai:d to fly in the lace or every diplomatic agree ment that might interfere with their plans, in order to bring about a situa tion .whence they hope to achieve this financial independence. Their case with regard to iron is It n . , - i j Upper, Delegates From United States! Lower, Mia a Grace DeGraff. even more desperate. There simply are no iron deposits in Japan proper which are capable of furnishing anything like a supply adequate to meet the national demand. For a nation of peaceful proclivities and intentions the situation would not be hopeless by any means. Such a na tion could always secure a sufficient supply of Iron from abroad. But that would never do for a nation that has unbridled military aspirations. Japan can never reconcile herself to depending on other countries for the iron that is absolutely essential to her military designs. It might be that she would become involved in a quarrel with the very nation from which she drew her supply, and at the first sign of trouble that supply would'be cut off. Ordaanee'Must Be Provided For. She might be able to endure the stop page of the iron supply for a time, so far as it affected . her commercial and Industrial interests. But the naval and ordnance supply must be assured be yond the possibility of question. - It Japan is really to prepare for the last great world war, that between the white and yellow races, she must be able to build her own ships complete, without question of securing the least article of supply from abroad. She must have iron and steel in whatever quantity she desires, and must have it available at all times. She must be able to make all her own guns and other ordnance supplies. and she must make them in quantities far beyond the wildest dreams of her present-day iron men. These are 'facts that the militarists recognize, and here In Pekln there is no question that it Is the necessity of securing independent supplies of money and iron that lies at the bottom of Japan's demands upon China, The necessity for iron is so com pelling that Japan has been willing even to invade the rights and the sphere of interest of her ally. Great Britain. China has Iron in plenty, and abund ance of coal in close proximity to the iron. But the chief deposits of each, and the chief establishment, where iron in quantity has been turned out for years, lie in the Yangtse Valley. This is the region which Japan has specifically recognised by agreement and by treaty with Great Britain as being the special British interest In China She is bound by every tie that diplo matic ingenuity can devise to preserve these Interests for Great Britain, even at the cost of war. But with a cynic ism not seen In diplomacy in many years unless the action of Germany regarding Belgium be a precedent Japan has sought deliberately to in vade this British sphere and to throw her treaty obligations to the winds for the sake of this iron. It is easy to see the necessity that drives the Japanese on in their ruth less disregard of their obligations regarding China and of their treaty and other agreements with Great Britain. Russia. France and the United States. It Is by no means so easy to see the outcome or the solution of the problem thus presented. Japan is not the only nation concerned for the preservation of her good faith, as represented by treaties and other international agree ments. The United States is directly concerned. So are Great Britain and especially Russia. Nations Solemnly Pledged. All three have given their assurance that the independence and the terri torial Integrity of China shall be pre served that the open door shall be maintained and the principle of equal opportunity for the commerce and industry of all nations kept Inviolate. All thre have made solemn pledges that the status quo shall be preserved. Great Britain is bound to maintain the status quo of 1902, Russia that of 1907 and the United States that of 190S. Great Britain is engaged in a des perate war- to demonstrate to the world that her treaty with Belgium was not a "scrap of paper." Is her obligation to China, as set forth in numerous such documents, of any less sanctity or value? Are the obligations of Russia, France, and the United States to be disregarded as lightly as Germany disregarded her treaty with Belgium? The matter has gone beyond a mere economic question. It Is no longer possible to consider it merely from the point of view of whether or not it is worth while as a matter of trade expansion and commercial possibilities to Interfere with the accomplishment of Japan's ambitious purpose in China. Two questions of much graver import await international answer. One is Shall all the agreements and treaties by which the great world powers have given assurance of the preservation of China from the hands of the spoiler become mere "scraps of paper," with out significance except of international shame? The other is. Shall the rest of the world stand idly by and see Japan proceed unhampered and unhindered in the preparation for the great struggle which she confidently expects to lead and direct when the yellow race shall contest with the white for world supremacy?

NOVEL FEATURES ADDED Nearly All Displays in last Year's Parade Are to Be Shown Again After Being Improved and New Ones Prepared. Pierre I. Traglio. the genius who evolves the float for the electrical pageant, had every one of them out of the den at Twenty-third ana wasmns ton streets yesterday morning for a final "going over," .and announced everything practically in readiness for the parade Friday night. Besides the floats that appeared in the parade last year, nearly everyone of which has been improved with new features, the Jovlans have prepared a vast amount of additional features, which will practically double the size and brilliancy of the pageant, and will present to the people of Portland many of the ' latest effects in electrical display that have delighted visitors to the Panama-Pacific Exposition. The old flaring torches for trfte bands are to be dispensed with, and the lighting of the entire prade will be electrical. Besides the Jovian floats that are to be added to the parade, there will be many stunt features which will add more life to the parada than, in pre vious years. A new float has been designed by Mr. Traglio and is waiting In the "den" to exemplify the slogan of the festival "The Whole World Knows the Portland Rose." Miss Lucille Traglio. as Miss Port land, will ride in . a rose boat borne by wlute swans, and behind her will rise colossal rosebuds, in each of which will appear a "human rosebud" daintily cos tumed and garlanded. The rosebuds will be little Misses Lois Winstock, Lois Traglio, Zelma Doty, Lucille Maxon and Marian Schiller. Lineup la Annonneed.

SUBSTITUTE FOR In Treatment of Bright's Disease The Pharmacopoeia has had nothing to act directly upon renal tissues and reduce albumenurla in Bright's Dis ease. . (Tyson on Bright's Disease p. 158.) - Hence. Basham'a Mixture, a mild diuretic tonic, has been given, often with results in first stages, but in chronic forms with universal failure! Note the new approach. Instead of stimulating the kidneys, results are now being had through a mild Infusion acting directly upon and opposing granulation in the kidneys and strengthening the secreting renal cells. As a. natural consequence albumen is commonly absorbed and casts decline, urinalysis having established the re sults in several thousand cases, many involving dropsy and some tapping. Analytical results cannot be questioned The presence of albumen is a PHYSI CAL FACT ami its disappearance is a FACT IN PHYSICS. The new agent, Fulton's Renal Com pound, is a vegetable infusion (see formula with bottle). The motive being-to oppose renal degeneration, the heart agents, eliminants. etc., given by physicians do not conflict, being con tinued if necessary. So mild that chil dren take it.

Ilttle Ones Take Part in Pro- grammes in Auditorium, Deco rated Tith Abundance of Flowers and Foliage. Happy children's voices rang out in songs and anthems yesterday in many Portland churches, for yesterday was Children's day. Wherever the day was observed the committees had" decorated the audito riums with especial care. Garlands of pink and white blossoms and feathery ferns were used to form a gala setting for the dainty little maids and the sturdy little lads who stood up before tho congregations to sing or recite or participate In some special exercises. In the First Methodist Episcopal Church the morning service Was turned over entirely to the boys and girls. And most beautiful was the service they presented. Mrs. H. T. Greene, wife of the assistant pastor, had drilled the lit tle people so well that they gave eiT programme in a finished fashion. Rose City Park Methodists enjoyed a treat in the service given by the pri mary department of the Sunday school. Mrs. F. E. Ingalls is superintendent ef the department. The cradle-roll exercises were led by Mrs. E. D. Steeby. Participating were several of the smaller babies of the school. Drills, songs .and recitations were followed by a short talk by the pastor. Dr. W. W. Young-son. In the First Christian, Highland Con gregational, Sunnyside Congregational and several other churches Droerrammea showing great interest on the part of teachers and talent on the part of the children were given. In Westminster Presbyterian Church Eleanor Phillips and Alice Morrow gave a dialogue: Ruth Clark sang "The Lanes of Childhood"; John Palnton gave a recitation: the primary class had graduating exercises; little Fran cis Bittner won all hearts with "My Wish and I." Among the others who contributed cleverly to the programme were: Rita Chamberlain. Jane Cochran, Helen Hyde.

Let the people vote this measure down to day and we will have 3-cent streetcar fares inside of six months.

Competi tion will bring that profit down to something reasonable if you will Jet the Jitneys run. but if you hurry to the rescue of the street railway, now that it has a competitor, you will destroy your chance to get streetcar service at a. reasonable price. The Jitney men asked the Council to submit every regulative feature of the pending bill to the people, leaving out its strangulative provisions. The Coun cil refused. Vote this ordinance down and the Council may pass all the regu lative features tomorrow and no Jitney man will object but they do object to the Washington-street" exblusion and the additional license which, would tend to put them out of business. Meter Ordinance Favored. The Installation of meters will bring down the price of water to every poor family in Portland, and will only re quire rich folks having automobiles to wash off and many bath tuba, to pay for what they get. If this ordinance shall be defeated it will be due to the fact that no publicity pamphlet was sent out to the voters so as to inform them as to Its merits, thereby render ing the unwary the easy prey of a con trolled press. I am opposed to the bill appropriat ing $75,000 for an additional garbage plant at this time. The people have had no chance to understand just how that money is to be spent.
