"WASHINGTON. Dec. 25. (Special.)
The recognition of the Jugo-Slav state,
which was seriously contemplated by
some of the allied governments, "has
until now been delayed by Italy's vio
lent opposition," declares a statement
obtained from the headquarters here
of the Jugo-Slav national council to
day. "But . through the union of the
Jugo-Slavs of former Austria-Hungary
with Serbia, the latter must be ex
cluded also fro mthe peace conference,
if recognition is not given there to
the Croats, Slovenes and Serbs of for
mer. Austria-Hungary," the statement
says. The full text follows:
. "The dissolution of the Austrian em
pire and the formation of new Inde
pendent states in Its stead, of which
Czecho-Slovakia and Jugo-Slavia have
already assumed definite lines, have to
a. great extent given prominence to the
question, "Who is to represent the for
mer empire at the peace conference?
Opportunity to Speak Sought.
"The two formerly dominent races
ef Austria-Hungary, the Germans and
th Magyars, have been abandoned by
all their subject races and have shrunk
to a. negligible minority. It is out
f the question to have them represent
ing all the different peoples formerly
under "their sway. There Is no doubt
that the Czecho-Slovaks. Jugo-Slavs,
I'oles and Roumanians must be given
an opportunity to bring their wishes
and claims directly and by themselves
before the peace conference.
"But there is some reluctance on fhe
part of the allies. These new states,
excepting Czecho-Slovakia, have not
been recognized as yet by the allies.
The recognition of Jugo-Slavia, whioh
was seriously contemplated, has until
now delayed by Italy's violent opposi
tion. But recently such momentous
events have taken place in the de
velopment of the new Jugo-Slav state
that the Jugo-Slav representation at
the peace conference may be consid
ered as assured.
Little Katlou TJnlte.
"From now on the Jugo-Slavs of
former Austria-Hungary do not appear
as a single political organization.
They have proclaimed and organized a
common state, with Serbia and Monte
negrotwo ofthe recognized allies
an dthe functions of this new state be
gan the moment when a common min
istry was formed. The Vice-Premier
and the Foreign Minister in this new
ministry are Jugo-Slavs from former
Austria-Hungary. Dr. .Trumbich, the
new Foreign Minister, does not repre
sent the Jugo-Slavs from Austria
Hungary only, but Serbia as well.
"To ban the Jugo-Slavs from the
peace conference would mean to ban
Serbia and Montenegro also. The uni
fication of all the Jugo-Slavs in one
eingle state means, of course, the ces
sation of a separate Serbian or Monte
negrin state, the new organiaztion
Adopting the name State of the Slo
venes, Croats and Kerbs.
"The delegation which will represent
the new state at the peace conference
certainly will include Dr. Trumbich, the
new Foreign Secretary, and this means
a very strong representation of the
Jugo-Slav cause. The delegation will
lay before the conference all Jugo-Slav
claims as a single demand of the for
mer Serbian and Montenegrin states
and of the redeemed Jugo-Slavs.
Claims Are Unified.
"Territorial questions in Macedonia
will be treated in the same spirit of
amity and indivisibility as the Adriatic
question. There is no preponderance of
Serbia in the new stato, all the parts
of Jugo-Slavia being put on an abso
lutely equal footing without anyone's
demand for an Aegis or whatever kind
of domination, and consequently there
are no more separate Serbian and sepa
rate Jugo-Slav claims.
"The first thing the delegation will
ask will be the full political and ter
ritorial recognition of the new state.
The territorial claims, based upon the
principle of justice and National self
determination, include in the new state
all these territories where Jugo-Slavs
live in compact masses and where they
have formed since time immemorial an
undisputed territorial continuity. Those
territories are: Serbia and Montenegro,
Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia and
Klavonia, Dalmatia, Carnlola, Istria and
Trieste, Gorizia. parts of Southern
Styria, parts of Carinthia, Bacska,
parts of the Banat and Megjumurje."

SCVIFT action, dramatic climaxes and
thrills galore are offered in "The
Midnight Patrol," the unusual
Thomas H. Ince screen melodrama
opening as a Christmas attraction yes
terday at the Liberty Theater. It's the
kind of a melodrama that holds au
diences tense at times and maintains
the Interest well throughout.
A sensational story of Chinese -underworld
life is unfolded In this tale of
the exploits of that every-day hero, the
American detective. The picture tells
the story of a desperate fight waged by
the police, against the Chinese opium
smugglers, in which Terrence Shannon,
sergeant of the raiding squad, 'wins
promotion to chieftainship and the love
of Patsy O'Connel, a pretty girl whom
Shannon rescues from the clutches of
the Chinese.
The play is reminiscent of the famous
old 10-20-30 melodramatic thrillers,
while the interesting cast makes the
story even more realistic. Among these
players are Thurston Hall, Rosemary
Theby, Charles French and Marjorle
Bennett.
"Perfectly Fiendish Flannlgran," a
two-reel comedy-satire, proves an ex
cellent foil to the melodrama and ex
tracts many a laugh.
Pictures Bold Over.
With the exception of the change at
the Liberty Theater, all other pro
grammes in the first-run motion pic
ture houses will be held over until to

"All Baba and the Forty Thieves" is

NEW ORDER IS PUZZLING
Shipping Board to Assign No Crews
Wooden Vessels.
SEATTLE, Wash., Dec 25. Wooden
shipbuilders and officials of the United
States Shipping Board's offices here
are puzzling over the meaning of sn
order, announced here today upon re
ceipt from Washington that the ghip-
ping Board would assign no more
crews for wooden ships.
Recently it was reported that & plan
to change at least some of the wooden
ships into barges for coast service was
afoot. Chartering or leasing of the
wooden vessels to private firms by the
Shipping Board, and even the sale of
the vessels outright, have also been
considered, it is said. -The latest or
der, however, was unexplained and
shipping men are wondering as to its
meaning.

ASTORIA. Or. Dec. 25. (Special.)
Wooden five-masted fore and aft
schooners are by far the best type of
vessel to be constructed for lumber
carriers, contends Captain William I.
Eyres, local inspector of hulls for the
Emergency Fleet Corporation. He
urges that Coast yards which are prac
tically idle as the result of the cancel
ation of Government contracts be util
ized for the construction of that class
of vessels.
Captain Eyres has followed the sea
for over 50 years and talks from actual
experience gained as a shipmaster and
shipowner. In speaking of the golden
opportunity- afforded the Pacific Coast
at the present time to build up a mer
chant marine and engage in a traffic
which is bound to bring excellent re
turns. Captain Eyres said:
"While it may be conceded that the
wooden steamer above 1500 or 2000 tons
registered is not as efficient for gen
eral cargo carrying as is the steel
craft, still for steam vessels of the
single deck type to be used as lumber
carriers, the wooden type is far su
perior in every respect to the steel
craft. All practical seafaring men are
aware of that fact. However, In dis
cussing the merits of wooden vessels
I shall confine my comments to the fore
and aft schooner, particularly the
single deck type of large carrying ca
pacity. The Pacific Northwest is the
sole region on the globe today, pos
sessing large quantities of standing
timber available for export to the mar
kets of the world. Ow ng to the urgent
need of this timber, especially in for
e1gn countries and the shortage of
tonnage to transport this product over
seas, both the producers and consumers
are engaged in trying to solve the
problem of this tonnage shortage. To
overcome this shortage, ships will have
to be built and plenty of them. The
leading question then is "which will be
the most efficient md economical'type
of vessel to be constructed for the im
mense trade that is soon to be devel
oped?" I will state without fear of
contradiction that for this traffic the
wooden (fir) fore and aft sailing
schooner, with single deck, five masts
and a carrying capacity of from 1,500.
OOOto 2.000.000 feet of lumber lias not
and never can have a rival or competi
tor, until such time as some motive
power is' devised that will be cheaper
than wind fro propelling ships. There
are several reasons for this.
"The wooden fore and aft schooner
can be sailed to any part of the world
with perfect safety and without carry
ing a pound of ballast, certainly an eco
nomical feature in her favor, and a
thing that steel vessels cannot do. The
square-rigged vessel is considered ob
solete as a lumber carrier, so the only
craft which might be termer a rival of
the wooden fore and aft schooner is the
steel vessel of a similar type."
The. wooden vessel can be built for
20 per cent less. Is a faster sailer and
more durable. All in all, there Is no
question but that the American fore
and aft schooner Is the one practical
craft for a dividend-paying lumber carrier."

Cattle Buying For
Swift &c Company
Swift & Company buys more than 9000 head of cattle
on an average, every market day.
Bach one of them is "sized up" by experts.
Both the packer's buyer and the commission salesman must
judge what amount of meat each animal will yield, and how fine it
will be. the grading of the hide, and the quantity and quality ofthe fat.
Both must know market conditions for live stock and meat
throughout the country. The buyer must know where the different
qualities, weights, and kinds of cattle can be best marketed as beef.
If the buyer pays more than the animal is worth, the packer Joses
money on it If he offers less, another packer, or a shipper or feeder,
gets it away from him
If the seller accepts too little, the live-stock raiser gets Jess than
he is entitled to. If he holds out for more than it is worth, he fails
to make a sale '
A variation of a few cents in the price per hundred pounds is a
matter of vital importance to the packer, because it means the
difference between profit and loss.
Swift & Company, U. S. A.
this led officials to believe that the
ultimate total will exceed 20.000.000.
