OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, March 11. Doee Secretary Ba
ker intend to snub Senator Chamber
lain, was the question asked In Wash
ington today when it was disclosed
that the secretary of war had invited
the house military affairs committee
to accompany him on his forthcoming
trip to Europe to inspect the army of
occupation.
It was announced that Secretary Ba
ker and members of the houee military
committee will sail on the George Wash
ington from New York April 1. No
other reason for inviting the hduse
committee and ignoring the senate
committee can be surmised except that
Senator Chamberlain is chairman of
the senate committee.
It appears that Secretary Baker's an
tipathy for Senator Chamberlain
reached the unforgiving stage when in
the last few days of the late congress
the Oregon senator read into the Con
gressional Record what is known as
the Baker secret orders, which re
vealed the secretary in a two-faced
role In the conduct of some affairs.
WASHINGTON, March 11. Several
members of the house military com
mittee will accompany Secretary Baker
tc Europe at his invitation to inspect
the American army of occupation and
American camps. They expect to sail
from New York on the George Wash
ington soon after April 1.
Representatives Dent of Alabama;
Fields, Kentucky; Olney,- Massachu
setts; Nicholls, South Carolina; Harri
son, Virginia; Anthony, Kansas, and
Hull, Iowa, have accepted the invita
tion. Representatives Quin, Mississ
ippi; Caldwell. New York; Wise, Geor
gia; Greene, Vermont, and Morin and
Crago. Pennsylvania, who are absent
from Washington also will be asked to
make the trip. Representative Kahn,
California, who' will become chairman
in the next congress, is already on his

Allied Peace Organization Regarded
as Establishing "Anglo-Amcr- .
' lean World Domination."
WASHINGTON". March 11. General
opposition to the proposed league of
nations is reflected in recent German
newspaper comment received by the
state department and made public to
day." Two of them declare the league
as proposed would establish "Anglo
American world domination," while an
other characterizes it as "a league of
arms against Germany."
The Vorwaerts asserts that the league
"is a league of victors without charac
ter or trust, despi' the welcome estab
lishment of the principle of arbitra
tion, and the treaty is pervaded 'with a
capitalistic spirit."
The Taeglische Rundschau says that
the "league simply establishes an Anglo-American
world domination, France,
Japan and Italy being permitted to
assist neutrals."
The Germans, according to the Tage
blatt, now learn that In the league of
nations statutes "established at Paris
without consultation, no attention ap
pears to have been paid to Germany,
evidently considered a second or third
rate power. The league Is a draft not
of a league of nations, but a league of
arms against Germany."
" The Leipzig Tageblatt says: "It is
our misfortune we are in a disadvan
tageous position regarding power, but
that should not deter us from approv
ing the erection of a league, for the
cause is of too great importance for us.
Our existence as a national and eco
nomic body is at stake, and this is bet
ter safeguarded within than without
the league. It does not follow that
we must swallow the treaty In its
present form."
The Vosslsche Zeitung terms the
treaty "a great disappointment; merely
an Instrument to maintain the suprem
acy of England and America."

The all-important step contemplated
was admittedly the formation of a
public traffic bureau, which recently
was determined on by the Tort of Port

Commerce. The expense of such a de

will be borne jointly by the two com
missions. At the head of the bureau
will be the ablest transportation man
available, one who has knowledge of
both railroad and water traffic mat

direction will have to do with public

The record of the old Third Oregon.
rom the time it boarded the troop ship

rom overseas, is griven by Colonel John
May, commander, who arrived in Port
land on Monday, with four companies
of the unit.
It is an unusual record, broad In Its
arlety of service and brisht with an
unsurpassed record of efficiency in all
details asxisned to it. whether cleaning
up a trench port or mopping up a Ger
man trench. As Colonel Mat tells It.
his voice Is happy with a very proper
pride.
Infantry la Sent Overseas.
"The 16'a infantry was filled up to
maximum war strength Qf 3700 enlisted
men and 103 commissioned officers on
December 1917." said Colonel May.
'Some of them were draft men of the
first contingent from Camp Levis. On
December 11 the first and second bat-

Colonel Abrams, went aboard transport.

"The first battalion, headquarters

boarded the transport Susquehanna on
December 1J, 1M7. and sailed for St.
Naxaire. On arriving in Liverpool,
companies K and CJ were put on duty
at a rest camp neitr that base. Com
pany K and H and the entire 5d bat
talion, were sent to France, arriving
t Brest about January 4. The 16Id
Infantry relieved the 5th and 6th reri
mente of marine, and took over their
duties at Him, St. Nagalre. Lapallice
and Bordeaux.
Men Are Widely Scattered.
"Colonel Abrams was appointed com
mander of the base at Havre. Com
pany H was detached for duty at that
base. Company K was sent to Chau
tnont as guard at General beadquartera
of the A. K. F.. which at that time was
moved from Paris to Chaumont. The
3d battalion, with Major McCatherin
in command, was stationed at Neveraj.

"The oth and Slh marine regiments,

their men who broke the German
thrust at Chateau-Thierry. Jn conjuue
tion with the 9th and :3d infantry.
"I was appointed commander of camp
nd chief landing officer at Bordeaux.
Of course I had command of all of the
American camps at that base, which had
room for Uo.OOO troops. At the time
we took over these different bases, con
struction work bad just begun, and the
officers and men of the 163d had to as
sist in the organisation as well as in
the policing and guard of the bases.
"Selection for such service is bafed.
primarily, on the fact that troops are
trained in this work, and the assign

regiment.

"While the 163d infantry was on duty
at Bordeaux with the co-operation ot
the French authorities, the port bad
the reputation of being the cleanest of
all ports In France. There were
courtesans in plenty they are licensed
over there but we put them off the
street?, raided their resorts, and re
duced the evil to a minimum.
"It was odd the way they approached
this matter. The mayor or Bordeaux
cou'dn't understand our attitude, but
rendered his hearty co-operation. We
dug up an ancient law relative to
courtesans, dating back to the reign of
Napoleon. It had not been enforced
for many years, but we made it a very
lively statute in our port.

one remaining on duty at Havre. Com
