CONCESSION IS OPPOSED Experience Held to Prove That Ad ' vantages Are Temporary "Pre-' cut Grouping of Powers Will V- 'ot Be Eternal." STOCKHOLM. Sweden. Jan. 24. via London. Jan. IS. Maintenance of Swed ish neutrality in conformity with the principles of international law was the keynote today of all the speeches be fore both houses of Parliament when lebate on the budget was opened. Lead ers of all parties dwelt on the virtual unanimity of the Swedish people in favoring firm and impartial neutrality. Premier Hammarskjoeld declared this to be the policy of the government, but be added: "We repudiate the idea that our Dolicv means we will not abandon neu trallty under any condition. It is our fervent desire to keep peace, and it Is our dulv to work for this end with all our might, but we must also reckon with eventualities In wnicn mainte nance of peace, in spite of all our ef forts, would no longer be profitable." COaeratl Is Caaataat Alas. Sweden, the Premier continued, has endeavored constantly to co-operate with other neutrals, particularly Den murk and Norway, to promote common aims. In these efTorts Sweden has been successful to a considerable degree, he said, adding: "Wo regret that these united efforts for the rights and welfare of neutral powers and for preservation, as men tioned ii the speech from the throne, of the Inheritance of international law should "depend on circumstances over which we have no control and to judge which we have no right. Rut it Is our conviction that the success of such efforts would.be to the advantage, materially and ideally, not of Sweden, but other neutral countries and of belligerents. "The present grouping of the powers , will not be eternal, in omor circum stances a belligerent, perhaps, will be sorry that it has for the sake of an nrt-n doubtful and temporary advan tage torn up treaties and provisions of international law. when it is too late to retsore them." Concessions Not Prontable. The Premier admitted that certain in ' conveniences, especially of a commer cial nature, might have been miti gated if the government had been less scrupulous in regard to absolute and impartial neutrality. "However, experience has shown us," he continued, "that in view of the per petual and rapid aggravation of the commercial war, one can depend for only a short time on the precarious en joyment of advantages procured by such arrangements. Other neutrals also have learned from experience that con cessions merely give rise to fresh de- man da. When once one enters on the road of concessions, it is easy to get farther and farther away from real ' neutrality." IDLE IN PARIS REDUCED Number Is Cut From 220,000 to 19,447 Since Yar. PARIS.

British Troops Going to Keller ol Beleaguered Expedition at Kut-cl-Amara Kepnlsed, Ac cording to Berlin. LONDON. Jan. 25. Four thousand Turks, including 50 officers, were cap tured by the Russians in the' recent battle in the neighborhood of Erierum. according to a dispatch from Petro prad to Reuter's Telegram Company. The Russians are also said to hav captured scores of machine guns and enormous Quantities of munitions. The Reuter dispatch says: The rout of the Turks in the battle which resulted in their being driven into Erzerum appears from later ac counts to have been even more de cisive than shown In the first reports. Apart from the Ottoman losses in act ual battle, the Russians captured dur ing the pursuit 50 officers and 4000 men They also took scores of machine guns and enormous quantities of munitions. The influx of 120.000 Turks in Eri erum is considered to reduce the de fensive power of the fortress.

Secretaries of Navy and War Depart ments Are Net Expected to Ap prove New Institutions. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington. Jan. 25. The agreement among military experts that there must be a material increase in the number of Army and Navy oflicera has produced a flood of bills authorizing the estab lishment of new "West Point" and "An napolis" academies. Most of the bills introduced call for the establishment of those institutions In the West, this Idea being in line with the suggestion made some montha ago by ex-President Taft. Secretary Garrison and Secretary Daniels, however, are not expected to approve any of these bills, as they have already recommended that Congress ln crease the number of cadets and mid shipmen at the two old academies In New York and Maryland, respectively. Both institutions can accommodate much larger numbers of students than are now provided for by law, and be fore any steps are- advocated by the Government looking to the establish ment of new academies it is deemed ad visable by the authorities to use the existing establishments to their full ca pacity. If the estimates of military and naval authorities are correct, neither West Point nor Annapolis can turn out the required number of Army and Navy of ficers unless they are materially en lar ared. Thus far bills have been introduced authorizing the establishment of mill tarv or naval academies, or both, in Washington, California, Wyoming and Utah.

TOUR HERE DISAPPOINTS Only $40,000 or $320,000 Raised in America Contributed by Puoj lie, IVlio, Pianist Says, Fall to Realize Conditions. CHICAGO, Jan. 25. Twelve million people in Poland face death from star vation if food fails to reach them in two or three weeks. This i the tragic situation of his native land announced by Ignace Jan Paderewski. The famous pianist passed through Chicago in his private car on his way East. "In all Poland." said Mr. Paderewski, "30,000,000 are in dire want, but 12,000 000 face death unless given food- Of these) T.500.000 are in Northern Poland and ' 4.500,000 in Southern Poland and Galicla. "I have raised $220,000 in the United States. Of thie sum $60,000 was con trlbuted by Poles in Eastern cities; $80,000 was taken in at my concerts and lectures, and I collected $4,000 among my personal American friends. The remainder $40,000 represents the Interest of the American public in Poland. "The American people have disap pointed me. The blight of war has tal' len more awfully on Poland than on any other country. The sufferings In Belgium was great, but that in Po land is a thousand times greater. I do not think the American people are .greatly interested now in war suf ferers. Belgium aroused tneir sympa thy because it was the war's first great horror. Poland's tragedy came too late. "Belgium was a nation. It had a King, Queen, little royal children. When war crushed ou the nation's life, the historic- tragedy stirred the imagina tion of the American people. "Poland is merely the name of a na tion, .that has passed the tragic mem ory of a state. To Americans it was onIya. region trampled by armies. Its fate had no appeal. "Belgium. a a nation, was repre sented in the United States by a Min ister, Consuls and commercial agents, Poland had no one to. represent It. The American people know Belgium almost as well as they know the remote parts of their own country. Poland is too far away. "There is now no meat in Poland. The cattle, sheep and swine have gone to the commissaries of the armies. The people live on carrot soup. Thousands walk for miles in the Winter cold with their feet wrapped in rags to beg a pannikin of this carrot soup. Rye flour, normally $3 a sack, is now $27. Peas, which once sold at $1.50 a bag. are held at $9. There is hardly a pound of lard or a side of bacon in all Po land. "Premier Asquith's answer to the ap peal of Chicago Poles is not unfavor able. I see in it a certain hope. He advises that a central relief organiza tion be established in Poland to see to distributions. This is a fine idea. "If we could establish such an organ ization which could operate with au thority. I think we could get supplies into the country. John F.

Secretary Lansing, in referring td the publication of certain facts connected with the proposal which now is under stood to have been rejected, declared today that the facts were "conjectures," and- that the published description of the informal communication was 'sup position uniustified by the facts." . It was indicated tonight that, while Teutonic diplomatic circles were disap pointed over the refusal of the United States to accept the proposal, a feeling of optimism regarding the outcome still prevailed. From sources usually well informed came the statement that Germany in the proposal had considered friendship for the United States to a greater ex tent than law In making such coftces sions as have been made. The Admin istration was represented as taking the position that law also should be brought into consideration. Germany, from the beginning of its submarine operations in the Jorth Sea, has refused to accede to the American viewpoint that law makes her liable for the lives of neutrals lost as were those aboard the Lusitania.
