PARIS, Jan. 15. (Special Cable.)
Watting for peace in Paris in these
days is not an occupation one would
choose on account of its exhilarating at
tractions. Peace making has taken the
elusive qualities of the will-o'-the-wisp.
First, an ever receding date was fixed
by report for the opening of the real
work that brought President "Wilson
across the Atlantic. At first an op
timistic bunch of American jburnalists
eagerly accepted one after the other
of these pleasing predictions.
But as tomorrow regularly dashed
their unsophisticated hopes they sank
into a state of hardened distrust of
everything and everybody, until now it
js hard to place faith even in the offi
cially promised meeting on January 18.
"World Peace Held Far Off.
They are about convinced in their
hearts that the grand quest of world
peace is as far from realization as is
perpetual motion or the philosopher's
stone. Thus "hope deferred maketh the
heart sick."
Yet, waiting for the peace conference,
remote and hopeless as it appeared
must not be confused with waiting for
peace itself. That is quite a different
pair of sleeves. There is to be a. con
ference after all, but will it issue in
peace.
If you rely for your political pabulum
on the Paris boulevard press you may
feel inclined to conclude that not Presi
dent Wilson but Machiavelli would be
the appropriate presiding genius of this
conference. These French political
writers, brilliant, scholarly, highly in
formed, most ingenious of argument and
gifted of expression, seem to be entirely
devoid of the faintest illusion as to the
possibility of preventing humanity
from indulging to the end of time in
its periodical holocaust.
Memories of "War Dulled.
Not alone is the league-of-nations
plan impossible in their eyes, but it is
a foolish and undesirable one to boot.
- Men have carried on this way from the
beginning, and yet the world is a. fairly
Agreeable place to live in at Intervals
and men must continue to go on the
bame fashion, "per omnia saecula sae
culorum" (for all time).
During the days of searching agony,
when defeat impended, the horror and
unguish of war as well as its penalties
were sharply realized, and it was
solemnly vowed that never again
should humanity be menaced by such
abominations. But only a few weeks
after victory the terrible memories. of
war are being dulled in the minds of
those boulevard casuists, the old mili-
taristic creeds and shibboleths are in
full blast, and war, it seems almost
suggested, is not such a bad thine after
an.
JVo Middle Partr Preaent
Now that we have won. let the
others delude themselves hunting for
universal panacea. We are content
they seem to say, "to follow the old
paths, to readjust the old, fatal and re
peatedly busted balance of power and
retain our talth in the mystifying and
wholly discredited methods of the old
outworn diplomacy.
At the other end of the journalistic
scale, the cardinal vice of the press sit.
"uation is that there is no vocal middle
party here. No party corresponding to
jiDerausm, extreme socialist papers,
-wnose extremism is the natural out
come of the repressive and inexorable
weight of the party on top.
There are some shades of difference
in their politics but in the main nra.rh
n. class war hardly distinguishable from
Bolshevism in theory and into which it
wouia surely develop in practice.
Wilson' Points Criticised.
While the reactionary papers have
oeen studiously polite to President
v iison, alter tne French manner, a po
liteness distinctly chilling, his 14 points
have only appealed to them as a lav
figure on which to exercise their well
trained satiric pens. They have blown
the 14 points entirely to their own sat-
isiaction, to the winds like thitJ
down.
In this they have been erreatlv en
couraged and assisted by the contin
uous stream of partisan attacks upon
the President's policies cabled from
America and printed here with great
gusto. One is inclined to wonder if the
partisan anacKS or the French Social

making public what has actually been
going on in conference for the past
month. The American newspaper cor
respondents, of whom there are about
100 here to report the peace proceed
ings, have been received in daily audi
ence by the American commissioners
under the stipulated conditions - that
what was developed was solely for
their guidance and not to be reported
as bearing the stamp of authority or
coming from the mission.
Statement la Issued.
"Hitherto it has been the practice of
the governments taking part in the
preliminary peace conversations," says
a statement given out by the official
press bureau today, "to issue separate
communiques regarding the proceed
ings. "From today it has been decided to
issue a joint communique, of which the
following is the English text adopted
by the British and American delega
tions: "The President of the United States
and the Prime Ministers and Foreign
Ministers of the allied powers, assist
ed by the Japanese Ambassadors in
Paris and London, held two meetings
today. In the course of these meet
ings the examination of the rules of
the conference has been continued and
almost completed.
Representation Is Fixed.
"It was decided that the United
States, the British empire, France.
Italy and Japan should be represented
bv five delegates apiece. The British
dominions and India, besides, shall be
represented as follows:
"Two delegates respectively irom
Australia, Canada, South Africa and
India, including the native states and
one delegate from New Zealand.
Brazil will have three delegates,
Belgium, China. Greece, Poland, Por
tugal, the Czecho-Slovak republic, Rou
mania and Serbia will have two dele
gates apiece: Siam, Cuba, Guatemala,
Haiti.' Honduras, Liberia. Nicaragua
and Panama one delegate apiece.
Montenegro will have one delegate.
but the rules concerning the designa
tion of this elegate shall not be fixed
until the moment when the political
situation in this country shall have
been cleared up.
"The meeting adopted the following
two general principles:
'One Each delegation being a unit.
the number of delegates forming it
shall have no influence upon its status
at the conference.
Two In the selection of Its dele
gation each nation may avail itself of
the panel system. This will enable each
state at discretion to entrust its in-
erests to such persons as it may desig
nate.
Dominion to Be Represented.
'The adoption of the panel system
will in particular enable the British
Umpire to admit among its five dele
gates representatives of the dominions,
including New Foundland. which has
no separate representation and of
India."

WARSAW, Jan. 13. (By the As
sociated Press.) Bolshevik guerrilla
bands are carrying out many depreda
tions in Lithuania as they advance in
the direction of Warsaw. A land owner
named Mlchulsky, who lived In a vil
lage near Baranovichi, has arrived in
Warsaw and relates how he and his
wife were tortured by the Bol3hevikl.
One day his house was surrounded
by a band of 20 armed men. Only
Michulsky and his wife a French
woman were in the house. The
bandits tore the clothes from both
Michulsky and his wife. They beat
the land owner's wife with a whip and
pounded Michulsky with the butts of
their guns. Michulsky finally agreed
to give the men 15,000 rubles.
After accepting the money the band
rifled the house and stole all the clothes
of Michulsky and his wife. They told
Madame Michulsky that ehe belonged
to the dirty allies, adding:
"All your people will soon be like
us. There will not be any more prop
erty owners. We are going to Warsaw
and then we will overrun Europe."
Michulsky gave them la, 000 rubles
more, all the money he had. Then,
after stealing all the valuables in the
house and the horses on the farm, the
men demanded liquor. As there was
no liquor about, they gave the Mlchul
skys a final beating and then went to
a neighboring house.
They did not find any more money
there, Michulsky eaid, so they set fire
to the house and shot down the family
as they attempted to escape. A girl
of 18 almost made good her escape, but
was brought down with a second ehot
as ehe ran. The bandits then beat the
girl to death with the butts of their
guns.

Dispatches say not a single piece of
bread is to be found now in Petrograd
and that unground oats are being given

Gray Hair Remedy
Mrs. A. Dixon, a well-known Brook

statement regarding gray hair:
"Streaked, faded or gray hair can be
quickly turned black, brown or light
brown by the use of the following
remedy that you can make at home:
"Merely get a small box of Orlex
powder at any drug store. It costs
very little and no extras to buy. Dis
solve it in water and comb it through
the hair. Full directions for mixing
and use and a gold bond guarantee
come in each box. One box will last
you for months.
"It is perfectly safe, it does not rub
off, is not sticky or gummy, and leaves
the hair fluffy. It will make a gray

ROAD BOOSTERS TO MEET
Umatilla to Outline Plans for 1819

PENDLETON, Or. Jan. 15. (Special.)
With no policy of road building fo
the next few years adopted or outlined
the Umatilla County Court has calle
a meeting or representatives or every
community, commercial organisation
and farmers union. The meeting will
be held in the Courthouse Thursday.
The County Court has provided in its
budget for the county's share toward
improving the road between Pendleton
and Echo, but at the last meeting o
the State Highway Commission the
Commissioners refused to make an p
propriation unless the road w
routed along the river instead of ove
the hill as at present.
The river road would cost $150,000
more and the court has not provided
for this extra expense.
IRE STATION IS CRUSHED
BOSTON", Jan. 15. Nine persons are
nown to have been killed and about
50 injured by the explosion of a huge
tank of molasses on the waterfront
ff Commercial street, near Keany
Square, today. Eight bodies were re
moved from the wreckage and one man
led at the relief hospital. Most of
those injured suffered only from
ruises.
The cause of the explosion had not
been definitely determined. Walter L.
Wedger, explosives expert of the state
police, said that he was not prepared
to give a final opinion, but that it
eemed probable to him that it resulted
rom gas fumes generated by ferment-
ng molasses within the tank, which
was not full.
The molasses had been kept warm bv
the steam heat from a plant at some
istance from the tank.

tank was blown into the air. The cir-

mighty stream over the streets and

The tank was located a short dlst

this there were two women who were

WASHINGTON. Jan. 15. (Special.)
Unless the indorsement by the Repub
lican National Committee serves to con
vert a Republican Senator to National
Woman Suffrage before March 4. the
amendment will probably fall to pass
age by the Senate In the present Con
gress. . Only one more vote is needed
for adoption of the amendment.
The defeat in the New Hampshire
Senate of the resolution passed by the
lower house calling on Senator Moses
to vote for the Federal amendment has
dashed the hopes of suffragists con
siderably, for Senator Moses had, with
difficulty, been brought to promise his
vote for the amendment only if urged
to act by both houses of his State Leg
islature. The resolution was lost in
the New Hampshire Senate by the votes
of seven members, all of whom had
pledged themselves for it and then re
versed themselves.
In the United States Senate 22 Demo
crats and 12 Republicans voted against
the measure last October. One Demo
crat vote has been gained In the per
son of Senator Pollock, who has suc
ceeded Senator Benet. of South Caro
lina, but the ranks of the "wllfull" Re
publicans remain unbroken, suffrage
hopes having centered in vain on Sena
tor Moses who has succeeded Senator
Drew. Other Republicans lined up
against the amendment are: Brandegee
and McLean, Connecticut; Lodge and
Weeks, Massachusetts: Knox and Pen
rose. Pennsylvania; Borah. Idaho: Hale,
Maine; Baird. New Jersey; Wadsworth,
New York, and Dillingham. Vermont.
That anti-suffragists fear the effect
of the Republican National Committee's
renewed indorsement of the Federal
amendment, while relying with confi
dence on continued Democratic opposi
tion to the measure, is Indicated by the
fact that the women voters anti-suffrage
party of New York today pre
sented at National Republican head
quarters an open letter addressed to
Will H. Hays, warning him against
the "twin dangers of suffrage and So
cialism." and urging him not to "con
nive at the use of the Republican
party as a suffrage tool."
No similar letter has been addressed
to the Democratic National Committee,
who also indorsed the amendment, but
without alarming the anti's.

Opening of Service for Whole Length
of Africa Contemplated by
Royal Air Force.
BY JOSEPH W. GRIGO.
(Copyright. 1919. by the New York World.
Published by Arrancement.
LONDON. Jan. 7. Long-cherished
plans for a transportation route from
Cairo to the Cape seem likely to be
come effective by means of a regular
commercial air service, according to
Major-ueneral Sir . H. Sykes. chief
of air staff, in an address this afternoon
on 'Commercial Aviation in the Light
of War Experience."
He said the Royal Air Force hopes
to open an "all-red" route the length
of Africa. In his talk he told of the
achievement of a Zeppelin, which re
mained four days in the air without
landing, after carrying 12 tons of am
munition from Bulgaria to the relief
of the besieged force in German East
Africa; and which, on receiving word
by wireless that the German force had
surrendered, returned to the starting
point in safety.
It is believed among air authorities
here that Germany, in view of Zep
pelin experiences in the war. will
develop that means of transportation,
especially in future trade with Russia.
In the course of the war Zeppelin con
struction became expert and the men
who can make the best machines are
still available to build for peace trade.
it is expected that an express service
will be started to Moscow and Petro
grad as soon as peace conditions ar
rive. "It may be well." General Sykes said
in his address "that the airship will
be utilized for long distance service,
involving non-stop flights. There is
practically no limit to tho range of
such service.
"One drawback to airship con
struction has been the great expense
of constructing sheds large enough to
house rigid ships. Possibly this dif
ficulty may be surmounted by a method
or. mooring ships to masts or cables.
In that case airships would need to be
taken into sheds only for overhauling
and repairs."
It is intended as previously reported.
to use airplanes for carrying dispatches
to ana irom .t-aris at the time of the
peace conference, and the suggestion is
now heard that members of the British
peace delegation may be conveyed to
Paris and back at that time by the
same service.

PARIS. Jan. 15. President Wilson

suffered by France and Belgium during

reaches the stage of discussing indem
nities. A survey will probably be con

In the opinion of some observers, the

that the entente nations probably will
be most concerned with the ability of
the German people to foot the bill
President Wilson believes that dam
