BIG INDEMNITY DEMANDED
Round Table Discussion Sow Would
Be Useless, Says Man Who As- i
eerts He Is Voicing , What
Entente Nations Feel.
NEW YORK, Dee. 18. (Special.)
Peace terms of the allies were made
known here today by Stephana Lau
zanne, editor of Lo Matin, who ' Is In
the. country 'on a mission for the
French government. These terms were
set forth In an interview as follows:
Transylvania to Roumanla.
Trentlno to Italy. '
Alsace-Lorraine to France.
Constantinople to Russia, with Tur
key out of Europe.
Restoration and Indemnification of
Belgium and Serbia.
Limitation on armaments of all
countries,, with Germany's armament
to be decreased first.
An Indemnity of J20.000.000.000. part
of which will be collected in heavy
duties on. all German goods imported
Into allied countries.
Proof of Germany's pledge to bow
to and abide by international law.
Editor Is Army Sergeant.
M. Lausanne is in very close touch
with French Ambassador Jusserand in
Washington. He is a sergeant in the
French army, sent here on furlough on
official business. He is editor-in
chief of Le Matin, which is known as
Premier Briand's "organ" in Paris.
He described these as the peace terms
and conditions on which the allies will
etop fighting.
He predicted the nature and sub
stance of Lloyds-George's address before
the House of Commons tomorrow, in
which the head of the new British gov
ernment will define what the entente
governments mean by "reparation for
the past and guarantees for the future."
M. Lauzanne declaned with the utmost
confidence that Lloyd-George would
declare that the allied governments are
ready to go on fighting until these
aims are accomplished.
"These things." said the publicist,
"are what we mean by reparation for
the past and guarantees for the future.
I know what my fellow-citizens think,
and what my government thinks. We
shall probably have to fight at least
another year. We expect peace then,
with Germany ready to come around
the table to discuss the terms we pro
pose. Discussion R'ow TTseless.
"It would be no use to get around
the table with Germany now. Germany
does not understand yet for what prin
ciple and what ideal we are fighting.
The German Ambassador in Washing
ton may promise the moon. We know
Just what that means. Similar propo
sals have come from Germany twice
before for the nations of Europe to get
around the table and talk - with her,
promising that she would be very con
ciliatory. The treaty that resulted
from the Berlin conference, was finally
"treated by Austria as a scrap of paper.
"When the nations met at Algeciras.
France having reluctantly accepted
Germany's invitation on the strength
of conciliatory promises, Germany
wanted everything. At times in that
conference all the nations were against
her. even her ally. f
"Lloyd George, before tile Commons
tomorrow, will make it clear that the
allies cannot now get around the table
with Germany and her allies. He will
be speaking for the benefit of the peo
ple of the ententa powers and for neu
trals. He will not speak so much for
the benefit of Germany, because it is
' clear that Germany does not yet un
derstand for what we are fighting..
, Serbia Not to Suffer. -
, "The proposals that have come from
Germany, whether in hints from Ger
man officials or German newspapers,
as well as those from Von Bernstorff,
show that if we got around the confer
ence table with Germany she would
offer to give one parcel of a small na
tion to one and another parcel to an
other. "We want none of that. Serbia shall
not be divided up. The rightful terri
tory of the various nations shall be re
stored to them. That is why Transyl
vania must go to Roumania, the Tren
tino to Italy and Alsace-Lorraine,
which belonged to France more than
two centuries before 1871, must go to
France.
"Germany has proposed that refer
endum -determine whether Alsace-Lorraine
be restored to France. But
France ""will not accept a referendum
on the question, because it would be
determined by a vote of German immi
grants into Alsace-Lorraine and not by
Xhe real inhabitants of the territory."
DEFICIT MAKES WORRY
'j ,
TRESIDEXT IS OPPOSED TO BOND
ISSUES, HE SAYS.
Question of Raising Revenues to Meet
Threatened Situation May Be
Question of Address.
WASHINGTON. Dec 18. President
Wilson and the Cabinet already have
begun consideration of ways and meana
to raise revenues to meet the threatened
deficit on June 30, 1918. The President
let it be known today that he had
reached no conclusion, but, in general,
was opposed to bond issues except to
meet expenditures of a temporary na
ture. He probably will address Con
gress on the subject later.
In this connection the possibility, of
the continuance of the patrol on the
Mexican border into the next fiscal
year is being taken into consideration.
: To keep the expenses of the Govern
ment as low as possible, the President
carefully will scrutinize all appropria
tion bills.
, In a conference with Chairman Spark
man, of the House rivers and harbors
committee, today, he urged that the
rivers and harbors bill now being
drawn provide only for urgently neces
sary expenditures. Another confer
ence will be held before the bill is in
troduced. Many new projects have been
favorably passed upon but will not be

ITXOOKS4fke the specialty stores are coming; into their

civic "spirit. The small dealer who handles one line
deserves your support and,, realizing this, I know you will
support him. A grocer for groceries, a jeweler for jewelry,
a druggist for drugs, a clothier for clothes and so on down
the line, helping a hundred men to earn a modest competence
instead -of helping to make

dent of this club in building up its
membership and making it a strong
organization."
The club gave Colonel Miller a rous
ing vote of thanks.
The election, which followed Colonel
Miller's remarks,was one of the most
peaceable affairs "imaginable. . Every
body was elected by unanimous vote.
and most of the time some member
was on the floor politely declining n
honor, and begging that it be bestowed
on another more worthy.
r Election In Sharp Contrast.
It was in sharp contrast to the-election
at. this time last year, when Colo
nel Miller was chosen to succeed him
self only after a regular cat and dog
fight between the assembled Demo
crats. -. - , . .
Far different last nlght.- Senator
Milton A Miller not the Colonel

T. T. Geer up before it some night to
wrestle in argument with Senator
Miller.
Mrs. Helen I. Tomlinson was nomi
nated for first vice-president. Her vote
was unanimous, too. For second vice
president. Miss Leona Larrabee was
likewise unanimously elected, after
two or three others had declined.
Judge A. S. Bennett, of The Dalles,
who wasn't present and so could not
be heard, was unanimously wished into
the third vice-presidency after Gus
Leadbetter, C. P. Houston and W. T.
Vaughn had each politely declined the
honor.
W. Rickman Is Scretary.
"W. L. Rickman was elected secretary
by unanimous - vote and A. H. Harms
was unanimously 're-elected secretary.
W. T. Vaughn, Paul Turner, G. W. Al
len, Mrs. June Nissen, Miss Myrtle
Smithson and Mrs. B. M. Richards were
unanimously elected members of the
executive committee.

RABBIT FUR OFFER MADE
MR. SISKOTT BELIEVES HE HAS A
READY ' MARKET FOR PELTS.
St. Lou in Wrm 'Learna, Through The
Oregon Ian, of Supply, and Would
Pay 15 to 18 Cents a Pound.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, Dec. 18. While Eastern hatters
are waiting for samples of Oregon jack-
rabbit fur to test its suitability for hat
manufacture. Representative Sinnott
believes he has found a ready market
for rabbit pelts in large quantities at
fairly good prices. . .
In today's mail Mr. Sinnott received a
letter from Funeton Brothers & Com
pany, of St. Louis, in which they say,
"We have noticed by articles in the
Portland Oregonian that you are en
deavoring to find a market for rabbit
skins. We beg to advise you that we
are the -largest handlers Of fur in the
world, and are much interested in mar
keting rabbit . sknns. Our trouble has
been to induce the people to collect the
skins in sufficient quantities to supply
me demand.
"We have sent communications to the
dealers in the various cities and are
trying to gefthera Interested in the
collection of skins. We are working
with the Department of Agriculture to
find means of getting these skins in
quantities. We believe We could find
a market or outlet for all the rabbit
skins produced in the United States at
the rate of from 15 to 18 cents a pound,
delivered in St. Louis. If you can offer
any suggestions so we may get in touch
with the producers of these ekins we
shall appreciate it."
Mr. Sinnott promptly wrote the St.
Louis firm stating that if they will
offer prices of 15 to 18 cents a pound
for Jackrabbit skins, he thinks they will
have no difficulty in getting a million
pounds. He has inquired definitely as
to the terms they will pay and the con
ditions on which they will enter into
contracts. -

Paraffine Oil
Lubrication Bowel Action
These Three Are Basis of
New Treatment for
Constipation.
Take paraffine oil Inwardly and
lubricate the intestinal channels if you
are troubled with constipation. Such
is the advice of th many who have
been benefited by this method.
To lubricate the inside of the bowels
with hiKhly refined petroleum is the
basic principle of a treatment for con
stipation now being used in North
America and Europe with remarkable
success.
The value of petroleum for such a
purpose was first allocated by Wm.
Arbuthnot Lane. M. an eminent
English physician. .
The new remedy, which Is being sold
by The Owl Drug Co. under the name
of Ameroll. is not a medicine in the
ordinary sense of the word: it con
tains no drug, alcohol or poison. It is
a colorlesa. tasteless and odorless
liquid paraffine which, when taken,
passes throuph the bowels, oiling the
passage as it goes and softening the
hardened masses which have caused
the constipation. The resulting move
ment is absolutely natural, easy and
agreeable.
Ameroil does not absorb Into the
system. It causes no pain or griping,
and is not in the least weakening in
its effects. It is sold in pint bottles
at 50c per bottle.
