In an official note the government

government in Graganza, Lisbon and
other places has been overcome, in
still other districts the military and

LISBON. .Ian. 25. (By the Associated
Treys.) An official staterrent issued
tonight says ttiat the insurgents tried
in vain to induce the people of Viana,
Castello and Valenca to rise.
Rebels Arc Pursued.
"The insurgents of Lisbon has been

ment continues, "and are being pursued
by republican troops. Other republican
troops are co-operating in the pursuit
of the fugitives. The rest of the
country is calm,.
"General Pellen, commanding the
Lisbon garrison, has resigned because
he was unable to make certain units
leave their barracks. General Corteral,
commanding the entrenched camp, and
Lieutenant-Colonel Cuna, crief-of-staff,

replaced by General Silveiro, and Cap
tain Doria.
Insurgent" Morale Low.
"A sharp cannonade was resumed at

The movement has been completely
stamped out in Lisbon, where some in

the two forts of Monsanto Hill and
Duque and hoisted the Royalist flag
Wednesday.
These forces surrendered last night
after a prolonged bombardment by
government troops aided by marines
and battalions of civilian volunteers
who enthusiastically offered their
services for the defense of the republic.
This movement has had an excellent
effect in uniting all republicans to
the cause of putting aside divergences.

Illinois Professor Relies on Govern
ment Which Replaced Kaiser
to Keep Word.
URBANA. lit. Jan. 26. Professor
James W. Garner, head of the depart
ment of political science at the Univer
siity of Illinois, in an address here to
day expressed the opinion that Ger
many should be admitted to the league
of nations.
"If Germany is left out there will
gather around her a group of friendly
states and she will become the center
of intrique that will be a constant
source of danger," said Professor Gar
ner. "We will have the world divided
in two and as for those who say that
Germany's word does not mean any
thing, we must remember that the Ger
many of today is not the Germany of
1914, controlled by the Kaiser an -J
Crown Prince. There is every reason
to believe that democratic Germany
may be relied upon to keep her word. '
In answering the attack made by
Senator Knox on the league of nations.
Professor Garner said:
"The league of nations is not imprac
ticable. It is but a few years ago that
Senator Knox opposed the popular elec
tion of United States Senators; opposed
women suffrage and said National
prohibition was out of the question.
Whoever says that it is impracticable
docs not know, for no one knows until
it has been tried.
''When the question of establishing
civil society arose, the individuals who
hung back were forced and the same
rules should govern the Nation as gov
ern individuals.
"The time is propitious and all other
questions before the conference are of
secondary importance compared with
this fundamental question of safeguard
against future wars."

Published by Arrangement.)
PARIS, Jan. 26. (Special, by wire
less.) When the plenary session of the
peace conference adjourned yesterday
the great powers had proved two im
portant things and the small powers
one. The great nations had demon
strated the sincerity of the- promise
that the peace conference be an abso
lutely open session, and that their
counsels would be worthy by their wis
dom and breadth to prevail. The small
powers found common ground In their
eagerness to secure individual repre
sentation on the reparation committee,
thus proving the lively expectation to
all powers of a flood of German gold.
Even Greece, Portugal and Czecho
slovakia Indicated their certainty in
securing a vast war indemnity.
Minor Feature Interest.
While the sessions was featured by
the adoption of the principle of the
league of nations and in providing the
setting for remarkable speeches by
President Wilson, Premier Lloyd
George and Premier Clemenceau. the
minor features of the session furnished
the chief color and occupied most of
the time.
The conference was in no sense a eat
and dried affair, as had been expected.
The great powers' were obliged to argue

PARIS. Jan. 26. (By the Associated

Food Administrator and director-general
of the international relief organi

"The dominating food problem in the
United States at this moment is a very
much bigger problem than the Chi
cago packers. It is a problem of the
American farmer.
"If the packer's profit of 2 or 3 per
cent on his turnover is too high, it is
the duty of Congress to tax It out of
him. If the farmer's profits threaten
to fall below the level of a fair return.
It behooves the country to do some
quick, clear thinking.

"The perplexities arising out of In
ability to demobilize totally the food
situation of the world in the period
between the armistice and peace make
the farmer's position in the matter one
of much more immediate concern than
the future of the Chicago packers.
"Taking It broadly, before the Euro
pean war began we exported about
S. 000.000 tons of food a year. This year
we are prepared to export at the rate
of from 15,000.000 to 20.000.000 of tons.
The increase represents the patriotic
service of the American farmer. olus

American under the stimulation of the

"We are thus faced with a serious
problem with respect to our own great
supplies, patriotically accumulated. If
an early peace is signed and the mar

trade, there will be a greater demand
for food from the new mouths than
even this surplus could supply. But

Oregon Legislature Mak
ing Slow Start.
SOME CONTESTS FORESEEN
Lawmakers Have Little to
Show for Fortnight's Work.
ONE MEASURE DISPOSED OF
Soldier-' and Sailors" Relief Bin Is
Only One So Ear Put Throngh.
Much Legislation Pending.
STATE CAPITOL. Salem. Or.. Jan. 2.
(Special.) With two weeks of the
"0th Legislative assembly chalked oft
the board, the state's law-makers have,
but little to snow for the fortnight
spent in the halls of the Capitol. -
far but one measure has ruu the gant
let of both houses and received tho ap
proval of Governor Withycombe. This
is the emergency measure creating tho
soldiers' and sailors' relief commission
and appropriating J100.000 for emerg
ency relief work.
Although the. Howell bill, creating
the Oregon Volunteer Guard, passed
the Senate without a dissenting vote.
It is predicted it will aneet with strong
opposition in the lower branch. A
goodly number of Legislators see in
this measure an adroit attempt to
abolish the Oregon Slate Militia. If the
Home Guard units, under the official
title of Oregon Volunteer Guard, are
legilized as is proposed In the Howell
measure, its sponsors. it is asserted,
will make a fight to withhold all ap
propriations for the State Militia, on'
the ground that the Volunteer Guard
can take care of all emergencies, and
without cost to the state, which the
Militia might be called upon to settle.
Howell Mraanre ritlelsed.
The Howell measure, however, con
tains a clause stipulating that mem
bers of the Volunteer Guard cannot be
called to duty by the Governor unless
they volunteer for such work. This,
say those' who will oppose the bill in
the House this week, ties the hands of
the Governor completely in case a ser
ious emergency should arise requiring
the presence of a large body of troopa
In some section of the state. The of
ficers and men of the Volunteer Guard
are tinder the direct supervision of the
sheriffs of their respective counties.
Several other important measure
ar due to come up in the Senate thin
week for finsl passage before being;
sent over to the House for approval.
The committee on assessments and tax
ation Is expected to submit a report on
the Pierce bill providing for an incoma
tax. the funds to be devoted to roal
purposes. Mr. Pierce's other measure, a
referendum bill providing for an addi
tional levy of one mill for the state
highway fund, also is expected to pre
cipitate spirited debate.
Murh Lcaislatloa Started.
The House has made fairly good
progress in wading through Its bills,
now having 26 House and three Senate
bills on calendar for third reading atid
final passage for Monday. It also han
about 132 bills in committees which will
In the main be reported out early In
this week, and next week should seei
a mammoth grist of them disposed of.
Predictions arc made that the bills will
go wolf over the 400 mark by the con
clusion of next week, when the Legis
lature is expected to remain in session
Llhrough .Saturday morning, at least.
During the week just closed somx
further Important legislation appeared
before the House. The Highway Com
mission s programme for changes in
laws relating to the administration o
its affairs was pretty well covered In
a aeries of bills introduced the first;
or the week by Representative Shel
don. These in the main Interest tho
commission more than others, as they
smooth out kinks in the commission's
work programme for the next two
years.
Another move in the reconstruction,
game was made with the introduction
of Richardson's bill providing for a,
Land Settlement Commission, and this
bill Is now before the reconstruction
committee.
Labor ' nmmK,innrr Itnay.
Labor Commissioner Gram got before
the House some of his proposals. In
cluding one for a campaign for cduca-
I Hon to prevent accidents, ::nd also some
