President Takes Up Gauntle
for League Plan.
EUROPE TO KNOW ISSUES
Associated Governments. Not to

Into Conference Without
Information.
BT JAMES M. TUOHT.

Ushed by arrangement.)
PARIS. Jan. (. (Special Cable.
The sincere determination with
hlch President " Wilson has taken
issue with Premier Clemenceau
upon the rival merits of the
proposed league of nations and
the old balance of power, while ap
parently causing some surprise in re
actlonary French circles. Is elsewhere
considered as rendering a vital service
to the deliberations of the peace con
ference, which, at last, may with rea
sonable safety be expected to commence
Its belated work about January lt
This untoward delay so pointedly
deprecated by the London Times has
been availed of. chiefly by the con
servatlve forces both here and in Eng
land, to attempt to undermine the bind-
ng character of the entente pledges in
support of the President s 14 points.
That is the plain fact about the sit
uation, and the President, with native
directness of courage, has taken up
the gauntlet for his league of nations
proposal on the first occasion when It
has been authoritatively thrown down.
There can now be no question of the
associated govemmenti going into the
conference in blinkers, which would
have been a catastrophe for Kurope and
for the world.
Publicity la Deahred.
Moreover, this incident, it Is consid
ered, enormously strengthens the de
mand that all reasonable publicity shall
be concurrently given to the delibera
tions of the conference, a question
which it Is also sought to throw Into
the background during these last few
weeks.
It should be mentioned, also, that the
comments of the Paris press on these
I cognate matters must be taken with the
knowledge that the number or reac
tionary journals is out of all propor
tion to their following and gives no
fair index to the bulk of popular feel
ing, which is thoroughly in accord
with the President's efforts to render
a recurrence of war impossible.
British feeling, in the main, is along
the same lines as that of the French
proletariat, and Lloyd George took the
first opportunity to reiterate in deci
sive language his unshaken loyalty to
those democratic principles in behalf
of which America entered the war.
It is confidently believed that the
fears expressed by Clemenceau for the
future security of France, In the face
of Uerraan proximity, can be effectually
dispelled by adoption by the conference
of more progressive measures than con
tinued militaristic precautions, in them
selves a perpetual provocation to fur
ther wars.
Expressloa Net Hsay.
The international socialistic congress
shortly will assemble at Lauzanne, and
the disturbing influence of the dele
gates' of the Left will be neutralized in
direct ratio to the extent to wbich the
peace conference demonstrates its re
solve to assist in the creation of that
new atmosphere described by President
Wilson as essential to the peace and
prosperity of the new world, which it
will be the tremendous task of the
conference to set going.
I Although the President's speech in
I Rome furnished the first clear-cut pub-
lie intimation of the difficulties ahead
I it should not be assumed in Informal
I conversations that difficulties have al-
I ready taken place, as there has not
I been any diplomatic haziness of ex-
I pression on either side.
S MONTHS SESSION LIKELY
a
Treaty Kx pooled to Be Ready for
Submission In March.
PARIS, Jan. 7. The preliminary
peace conference is likely to last three
months, according to Marcel Hutin, in
the Echo de Paris.
'At the end of the second month.
that is to say the beginning of March,"
he says, "after complete agreement be
tween the great entente powers, the
treaty will be ready for submission to
the enemy plenipotentiaries for their
signatures, neprereniaiivt-s ii &ji ine
enemy countries will be invited to come
to Paris to learn th allied conditions
and will have a reasonable time about
one month in which to refer it to their
governments.
"The preliminary treaty will contain.
first, a clause oy wnicn tne entente
accepts a league or nations; second, tne
amount of indemnity payable by Ger-
many and tne metnoos or payment: ano.
third, a definition of the new frontiers.
Tnese are tne principal cnapters.
The preliminary discussions promise to
te intricate ano it would not do aston-
isning if tne deuoerations are long.
because they will deal with the entire
map of Europe and will evolve
the
clauses of a definite peace treaty."
PARLEYS OPEN JANUARY 13
Government Heads Will Exchange
, Views in Paris
PARIS. Jan. 7. (Havas.) First par
leys of the peace conference are
planned to begin January 13 at the
French Foreign Office for exchange of
views between heads of the govern
ment and the Foreign Ministers of
France, England, the United States and
Italy. Theae preliminaries probably
avll be completed about January 18
when the representative of all the
powers that have severed relatione with
Ith central powers will meet with the
representatives of France. England, the
United States and Italy and decide def-
inltely on the composition of the dele
gatlons to the peace conference.

SUPREME COURT HOLDS LIQUOR
SELLER ONLY AT FAULT.
Decision Declares That Person Who
Buys of Bootlegger Is Not Accora
plice Ruling Is Important.
SALEM, Or., Jan. 7. (Special.) A
question which has been bothering Dis
trict Attorneys over the state ever since
the passage of the bone-dry law was
decided by the Supreme Court today
when Justice Johns held that a purchas
er of liquor is not an accomplice, and
as a result his testimony in prose
cutlon of the seller may be received
without corroboration. Consequently a
conviction may be maintained on the
bare evidence of the purchaser of the
liquor.
Attorney-General Brown today pro
nounced this the most important deci
sion that had been handed down since
the passage of the bone-dry law.' The
case came up on appeal from union
County, oh conviction of C. L. Busick
druggist, for the sale of "bitter i herb
tonic" which incidentally the court
held was Intoxicating liquor, it being
so determined by the Jury in the trial
court. Circuit Judge Knowles wasaf
firmed. By the affirmation it also was
held that purchase of liquor is not an
indictable offense.
Other opinions today were:
State of Oregon vs. A. Bertschlnger,
appellant; appeal from Multnomah;
motion to dismiss indictment charg
ing crime of manslaughter: opinion
by Justice Johns, circuit Judge Kavan-
augh affirmed.

Additional Argument Is Asked
by
Oregon Supreme Court in
Kellaher-Pcrklns Case.
Diversity of opinion of members of
the Oregon Supreme Court on one point
in the Kellaher-Perkins City Commis
sioner controversy, now pending before
that body, has led to a call for addi
tional argument by the attorneys in
volved in the suit, to be heard Thurs
day afternoon at Salem.
The point in issue is whether Com
missioner Kellaher"s term of office is
for the full term Commissioner Baker
would have served if he had not re
signed to become Mayor, or if the term
of office expired as quickly as the

Commissioner' Kellaher was ap
pointed by the City Council to fill the
office of Commissioner, held by Mayor
Baker before his elevation to chief
executive of tire city. This term of of
fice expired in June, 1919, but 30 days
before Commissioner -Kellaher had been
seated a constitutional amendment was
adopted by the voters requiring that
all appointive municipal offices be
filled by the voters at the first general
municipal election held after the ap
pointment. City Attorney L&Roche, prior to the
November election, advised the City
Council that a Commissioner must be
elected to fill the short term covering
the period from the date of the election
until June, 1919, when Commissioner
Baker's office expired, as well as the
long term.
City Commissioner Perkins was the
winner In the contest for the short
term, but following the election Com
missioner KellaJier refused to relin
quish his seait at the City Ha.ll, con
tending that his office did not expire
