"WAR CABINET " WILL GATHER
Wilson Decides to Hold Meetings in
Paris for Present.
PARIS. Jan. 22. (By the Associated
Press.) President Wilson has decided
to resume the sessions of his war cab
inet, or his "Wednesday cabinet." so
called because this is the regular meet
ing day at the White House of the
heads of the war boards, military ad
visers and members of the cabinet.
The purpose of the meetings in Paris
is for the discussion of economic prob
lems involved in the armistice and the
peace negotiations; they will be at
tended by Bernard M. Baruch, Her
bert C. Hoover, Vance irlcCormick and
Kdward X. Hurley, all of whom have
been summoned to Paris by the Presi
dent, and such other of his diplomatic,
political, economic and military ad
visers as "the President designate to
attend.
Blockade, shipping food relief for
Europe and the provision of raw ma
terials for the restoration of the devas
tated regions are among the problems
which will come before the meetings,
and the cabinet will probably also give
attention to the Russian question.
The American peace commission is
depending upon its specialists in in
ternational law for the preparation of
the American view of important ques
tions raised in the Agenda adopted by
the peace conference Saturday. These
are, first, responsibility for the war.
and, second, the framing of a policy
for international co-operation in legis
lation directed toward the interests of
labor.
Wide differences exist at present re
garding the first question, particularly
as to the responsibility of individuals
rather than of governments for the war
and likewise violation of the rules of
war by the central powers.
It is believed to be by no means cer
tain that the American delegates are
willing to accept the views of the
I-rench legal authorities quoted by Pre
mier Clemenceau respecting the per
sonal responsibility of the former Ger
man Emperor and his Generals in the
absence of precedents and until there
is a clearer understanding or the limi
tations within which such a doctrine
can be exercised.
There is a possibility that recommen
dations upon labor will be withheld un
til opportunity is afforded to study the
development of the Berne labor con
gress. General Pershing, who is on a 10
days' tour of encampments at the front,
has been summoned to Paris and will
reach here tomorrow morning.
It is understood that General Persh
ing's presence is required in the solu
tion of the Russian and Pr.liVi -k
lems in line with the action taken to
day by the supreme council.
CHINA WOULD GAIN FREEDOM
Peace Conference Representatives
Outline What Country Wishes.
PARIS. Jan. 22. Discussing the po
sition of China with regard to the
peace conference, O. T. Wang, member
of the Chinese delegation, who has been
prominent in the South China govern
ment, said to the Associated Press cor
respondent today that the two portions
of China were thoroughly united on the
question of foreign policy. The delega
lion now in Paris, he declared, repre
sents China as an allied nation, inde
pendent of other nations, seeking full
restoration of its sovereignty and ask
ing -the conference to free its treaties
and agreements, which prevent eco
nomic dvelopment.
"China's greatest handicap," said
Wang, "is the present system of mak
ing loans and letting railway con
cessions. Under the bane of the 'influ
ence' system forced upon China by out
side powers, it is impossible for China
to get money for railway or other ex
tensive developments.
"Existing contracts and agreements
make it possible for the various powers
to prevent China from entering the
world's market for the money required
Consequently the great nation is lying"
dormant through lack of transporta
tion. "There are abundant opportunities for
-all nations to make investments in
China if the peace conference will re
move the barrier in the form of foreign
agreements.
"China also confidently expects to
haye the rights of extra territoriality
removed. The delegates realize that the
present courts of law in China are not
sufficiently modernized to satisfy the
demands of such advanced nations as
Great Britain and the United States,
but they can be improved gradually
just as the Japanese courts were."
.Mr. Wang said that China weUd
seek the right to regulate her own cus
toms service and would ask the resto
ration of all territory in China for
merly held by Gewnany.
The Chinese delegation is hopeful
that the peace treaty will result in the
opening of all China to foreign citi
zens and equal commercial opportuni
ties for all foreign citizens.

SIDELIGHTS AT LEGISLATURE
STATE CAPITOL, Salem. Or.. Jan. 22.
(Special.) A little nale of face
and somewhat shaky of legs due to a
long seige with influenza Jim Stew
art, Representative from Gilliam
County, breezed into the Capitol this
morning, a week late for the session.
"I'm mighty glad to see you, Jim,
but you've sure disappointed me," was
the greeting he received from Senator
Huston, of Multnomah.
"What's the big idea?" queried Jim
with a smile.
"Well, yousee, I had a splendid little
set of resolutions all prepared to in
troduce the day the undertaker got
you, and I am disappointed to know
that I'll have to tear them up," re
plied the Multnomah solon.
a a
Senator Farrell. of Multnomah
County, will get away with the title
of the "Senate watchdog," unless some
body stops him. A resolution intro
duced by him today forbids the promis
cous mailing of all Senate bills to the
"dear constituents" throughout the
state.
"It will effect a saving of $21 a day,"
he told his fellow Senators today after
they had adopted his resolution with
out a dissenting vote.
m m m
They had almost forgotten about the
"flu" until Dr. Wood. Senator' from
Washington t'ounty? advised the upper
branch Monday that a resolution calling
for an investigation of influenza con
ditions hereabouts had been almost for
gotten. On his motion President Vin
ton named a committee to make the
investigation and recommend the adop
tion of health regulations about the
Capitol. Senator Wood heads the com
mittee. Other members are Senators
J. C. Smith and Nickelsen.
Walter L. Tooze, reading clerk in
the Senate, put on display Monday a
camouflaged German helmet which his
on. Lieutenant Leslie O. Tooze, picked
up on the French battle front. Mr.
Tooze is the only person in the Senate
who lost a son in the war, and also is
the only person in the upper branch
who had all his sons in the Army. All
were commissioned officers. Lieuten
ant Lamar Tooze was killed in the
Argonne forest.
An interesting letter from Harry B.
Critchlow, former newspaper reporter
who "covered" the Senate two years
ago for a Portland newspaper, was re
ceived by President Vinton and read
to the members of the Senate. Critchlow
is now in France.
Ned Kehoe, who has been employed
at the Multnomah County Courthouse
for more than 20 years, will be retired
shortly on a pension if a bill intro
duced Monday by Senator Orton meets
with the approval of the assembly. Mr.
Kehoe has for years been superintend
ent of the Courthouse, and the bill to
retire him on half pay is said to meet
with the unanimous approval of the
Multnomah delegation.
Colonel D. M. Dunne. ICd Stack and
Mrs. George McMath arrived in SalemJ
Monday to attend the meeting of the
State Board of Vocational Training, of
which they are members. The board
will ask for $42,000 appropriation o
match the Smith-Hughes bill of Con
gress. Representative MacFarland will of
fer this week a boxing bill, which will
permit of 10-round goes. The bill will
provide that the money earned by the
exhibitions will go to the soldiers and
sailors' fund. It is the intention to
eliminate the promoters of boxing.
Thomas McCusker, of the Employers'
Assotiation, is on the scene and says
he isn't interested in anything particu
larly, unless it be the antl-Bolsheviki
bill or legislation affecting the Com
pensation act.
Walter G. Lynn, of the legislative
committee of the Oregon State Federa
tion of Labor, has made his appear
ance. The various bills which organized
labor wishes enacted have not yet been
drawn, although both Representatives
Home and Smith are waiting to re
ceive them so that they can be intro
duced. Jay Upton, president of the Oregon
Irrigation Congress, arrived simulta
neously with the introduction of some
irrigation measures.
Senator Thomas, who is trying to
make campaign material for his pros
pective candidacy for Congress, ap
pears to be making a bunch of enemies
for himself among his colleagues.
It isn't like the old days. The place
to find members of the Legislature
now is at the cafeteria and not the
cafe.

per cent of all the deaths reported. In
1917. it was 20 per cent. This de
crease is attributed to the child wel
fare work carried on by a local com
mittee and inspired by the Children's
Bureau. Department of Labor. The es
tablishment of health clinics for sick
children and of municipal "keep well"
centers where healthy children are
taken for observation and for advice
concerning methods of retaining health
have brought good results. The pre
natal clinics for mothers, where intel
ligent hygiene for motherhood is
taught, also have been found of value
in helping to reduce the number of
babies who die in the first month of
existence on accounto f lack of proper
prenatal care of the mothers.
WAR INCOME IS LACKING
Idaho Profits Little as Result of
World Conflict.
BOISE, Idaho. Idaho was benefited
only to a slight extent by special war
industries. There were no factories in
the state which turned out war sup
plies, and total of war purchases made
in this state amounted to less than $60.
000 when the regular output of the
fields, forests and mines is eliminated.
The drop in the prices of lead and
of wool is having an embarrassing ef
fect upon the mining and sheep-raising
industries. The great lead mines in
the northern part of the state which
are still operating on a war basis, so
far as costs are concerned, are threat
ened with an early shutdown. The
sheep men of the state also claim that
they face enormous losses on this
year's clip unless the Government price
of last year is to be upheld. They point
out in substantiation of this claim that
shearing will be gegun in less than six
weeks, and that the cost of this year's
clip so far as labor, feed and produc
tion costs are concerned, has been en
tirely on a war basis.
A few of the larger lumber com
panies were producing Idaho pine for
airplane use, but this was on such a
small scale that the cancellation of
airplane stock contracts has had prac
tically no effect on the lumber situa
tion in this state.

EUGENICS TEST IS URGED
Judge Victor Arnold Would Prnioi
.Marriage Contract.
CHICAGO. "Why did you marry that
man ?"
"Because I wanted to "
"Why did you let him beat you?"
"That's none o' your business."
Judge Victor Arnold, of the Juvenile
Court, who had figured as the ques
tioning Judge, in this scene, described
it as "a typical example of the way
parents talk to you when you are try
ing to ascertain the causes of why
their children and they themselves,
more in particular, are brought into
your court." The judge spoke before
a United Charities meeting at 1418
North l,a Salle street on "Marriage
Laws."
"I believe that the majority of the
children brought before me for mis
copduct, or because their parents are
unable to support themr. belong to
parents who are either mentally un
sound or should never have married."
he continued.
"Until the Legislature enacts some
wise measure to do away with whole
sale marriages there will be criminals
because of the constant Intermingling
of unfits. I have always regarded
marriage as a solemn obligation, but
the only qualification necessary thes
days is $1.30. A medical, mental and
physical examination should be ad
ministered to all parties desiring to
marry."
SWINDLERS UNDER

I'aso Police Try to Protect Mex-
e
, lean Laborers.
BL PASO. Tex. Police and detectives
have started a crusade here against
swindlers who impose on Mexican la
borers returning home after working
on railroads and in mines in the Cnited
States. The worst offenders, the police
say. are the pawnbrokers who operate
in the Mexican quarter.
They swindle the ignorant Mexican
laborers of most of the money earned
during a Summer of hard work in the
United States. This is done by means
of fictitious pawn tickets, alleged bar
gains In unclaimed pawns and the sale
of cheap, brass watches for gold ones.
The Mexican consulate here has com
plained repeatedly because of these
systematic swindling schemes conducted
by-local pawnbrokers operating in con
Junction with Mexican .runners who
bring the victims to the pawnshops.

Joe Loranger. riveter, stood at ease
on a narrow plank 100 feet in the air.
The plank rested on two girders of a
bridge being built at the South Boston
Army Supply Base, in his hands he held
the "machine." an Improved dolly bar.
Villi this bar a gang can drive ten
more rivets a day than with the old
fashioned Iron bar.
From behind and abovT him came the
rat-tat-tat of the air guns. On loose
plunk platforms beside him stood two
men at coke furnaces. Every minute
one of them plucleed with tongs a
white-hot bolt from the coals and
hurled It with an easy swing of the
arm to one of the gangs above. It was
caught in a rough metal cone, picked
out again and inserted In a hole, ready
for the blows of the air hammer.
Joe Loranger did not seem to notice
the racket. He was too busy Irving to
tell how his dolly bar worked. The old
bar. he said, was only a solid Iron bar.
weighing 30 to 40 pounds. It wasTiela
against the head of the rivet while the
other end was being headed over. The
air gun strikes from" 70 to K0 blows a
minute. The whole shock of these heavy
blows came on the man holding the bar.
So great was the strain that no one
could btand It but the strongest and
best workmen.
Iranger's substitute is a hollow bar
fitted with springs and plungers.
These receive the shock of tho ham
mering. The new bar weighs only 2S
pounds. It can he lutndled by a man
of ordinary strength and skill.
The solid bar was easily Jarred from
place, especially when the man holding
It was tired. When this happened the
rivet was spoiled and had tu be cut out.
This wasted a lot of time.
The new bar is seldom Jarred aside.
Its .-prin irs make It easy to hold it
steady. They also give a back kick at
every blow. This makes the heading

said a foreman, "that two gangs hail a
regular fight this morning to get the

Yet Loranger has turned it over to
the Government. Such is the spirit of
America's workmen.
Is it any wonder we won the war?
Can anyone worry about the future?
