great achievement made by President
Wilson in the league of nations is the
fact that it does not involve limitations

In referring: to the socialistic condi
tions existing in the leading nations of
the world previous to the great war, he
said: "The appeal to patriotism of each
man in the countries that have been at
war was, too great to be overcome by
socialists. We thought that socialism
would prevent the successful carrying
on of the war in some nations, but
this was disproved."
At the stare of his address he told of
meeting President Wilson a number of
years ago when he was president of
Princeton university at a junction ponit
not far rfom the university. He said
that the president seemed to be in deep

"he told me that he was trying to frame

FOCH'S FORESIGHT HI
OFFENSIVE PRAISED
Great Decision Won War, Says
Correspondent.
VISIT MADE TO AMERICA
LOXDOX. (Correspondence of The
Associated Press.) One of the most
successful devices invented by British
naval experts in the wartime was
known as a "blister," and served to
protect 6hips against torpedoes. It is
an outer steel casing fitted to the
eides of ships. All of its technical de
tails of construction have not been re
vealed, but naval experts assert that
ships equipped with blisters run no
greater risk from undersea attacks
than from surface fighting dangers. In
the war the Germans torpedoed several
blister ships, but in every case, it is
asserted, the vessels were able to reach
port and he repaired.
Kir E. H. T. D'Eyncourt, director of
naval construction, invented the blister,
which was first attached to four old
cruisers. Patiently the navy waited for
a test for two years; then, in June, 1917,
the cruiser Grafton while steaming at
ten knots was struck amidships by a
torpedo fired from a German subma
rine only 30 yards distant. The blister,
which stuck out from the cruiser's side
about 15 feet, exploded the torpedo,
and the Grafton steamed back to port
with only a slight list.
Monitor Mui-viveK Three Torpedoed.
Improvements were made on the
blisters and they were fitted to the sis
ter monitors Erebus and Terror. Both
these "vessels, mounting 15-inch guns,
bombarded the Belgian coast for
months. Both were torpedoed within a
week and but for the protecting blisters
they would 'have been sunk. Three tor
pedoes struck the Erebus, two hitting
the fore part of the monitor where the
blister tapers off. As a precaution the
Erebus was beached, but it was after
ward found that she was less severely
damaged than had been thought and
she was subsequently repaired. No
ship ever before survived three tor
pedoes. The navy now has about 50 blister
ships in commission, including some of
the first battle cruiser squadron. The
new dreadnoughts Rodney, Howe and
Hood are being fitted also with blisters
A seif-propelling projectile charged
with GOO pounds of T. .". T. was per
fected by the naval experts only a short
time before the armistice was signed.
It is believed to have strengthened
materially the power and effectiveness
of the British fleet. The projectile can
be discharged without concussion from
small boats or a light platform, ex
ploding on the contact, or when fitted
with a special device, below the water,
thus serving the purpose of a depth
charge.
Flame Thrower Spoiled by Shell.
An apparatus for throwing a flame
for a distance of 240 feet, as water is
thrown from a hose, was rigged on one
of the vessels that took part in th raid
on Zeebrugge. But before it could be
used a. shell from the enemy batteries
put it out of action.
Another invention is a gun to fire
signals from submerged submarines. It
sends a star shell 300 feet into the air.
Several kinds of smoke screens were
invented, most of them for the purpose
of baffling U-boats. A powerful flare
equal to a million candlepower was an
other achievement of the naval in
ventors which was used with great ef
. feet against enemy submarines waiting
on the surface at night to attack
merchant ships. These flares, sudden
ly ignited, turned night into day, and
in the straits of Dover alone 17 U-boats
were caught by their aid and sunk.
The work of developing these inven
tions was carried on by the royal naval
experimental station near London. Its
staff, comprised of 25 officers and 1050
men. all experts either in research or
constructional work, most of them be
ing chemists or engineers.

Musical Entertainment so Snccess
Xul It Will Be Repeated Satur
day Xight at Auditorium.
BY JOSEPH MACQUEEN.
It is impossible to sit under the
spell of the genius of Pablo Casals,
cellist, without feeling inspired and
helped. Casals came to us heralded as
the greatest living cellist, and in that
respect Portland. Oregon, says "yes"
and falls into the line of other cities
where Casals has stood the acid, criti
cal test and emerged a conqueror. So
much of a success was Casals' concert
last night at the Heilig theater and
under the direction of the Ellison
White musical bureau that he was im
mediately engaged to appear in a sec
ond or repeat concert at the Masonic
temple auditorium Saturday night.
In personal appearance Casals does
not look like a world-famous musi
cian. He has slight physique, the top
of his head is minus flowing locks, and
he looks neat and methodical. Instead,
he looks more like a physician or a
prosperous business man who breathes
of dollars.
But when Casals draws his bow over
the long strings of his beloved cello.
Casals the artist holds your music sense
captive. He instantly becomes the tone
magician. The cello in his hands be
comes a living, singing thing of beauty
from which fairy music comes. It is
difficult to enthuse over the ordinary
cello recital. The instrument, from the
viewDoint of the laity, is a ''cross" be
tween the violin and the big bass viol,
and is difficult to play. Its strings are
twice the length of those of a violin.
All these elements show that the tri
umph achieved by Casals last night
was of the remarkable, extraordinary
order. His mellow, warm, searching
brown cello tone has more than the
music of an Aeolian lyre. It is angel-,
voiced. Casals' high harmonics are
sweet and flutelike, and his technique
is of the highest artistry. He sweeps
his strings with the majesty of a
Welsh harpist, or like a fencer about to
deliver a lightning thrust with his ra
pier. All Casals' music was played
from memory and it just rolled out like
a golden stream.
Casals' programme was, of course,
classical, as befitted a concert of the
magnitude of last night. It savored of
Handel, Saint-Saens, Bach, Jean Huve,
Faure and Popper. Much of the music
selected was familiar to the audience,
or at least the professional music part
of it. More than one dozen recalls
were given to the star, but he bowed
his thanks for most of them. At first
the large audience Was a trifle un
demonstrative, but was always im
pressed powerfully. Toward the close
pf the concert applause increased in
volume, but long before this Casals had
won all hearts.
It was not a concert at which to
cheer, but rather a concert that made
your music sense to be filled with deep
joy that you were there.
Casals' extra numbers were: "Even
ing Song" (Schumann). "Air" (Bach)
and "Serenade" (Popper). The piano
accompanist, George Stewart McManus.
played superbly and gave fine assist
ance to the star. Mr. McManus is i
distinguished pianist and is a member
of the faculty of the University of
California, Berkeley, Cal.

Washington Senator Asserts the An

News for Suffering Millions.
WASIIIXGTOV, March 13. Senator
Poindexter of Washington, one of the
39 republican senators who approved
the resolution of Senator Lodge of
Massachusetts, opposing the proposed
constitution of tho league of nations.
issued a statement tonight asserting
that "the most refreshing news for
the suffering millions of the world is
the announcement that definite prelimi
nary terms of peace have been agreed
upon and that peace will no longer be
delayed while awaiting discussion of a
league of nations.
"The wisest decision reached by the
peace conference," Senator Poindexter
said, "is that the treaty of peace, re
storing order and happiness to the
world, is to be kept separate and dis
tinct from the league for the conduct
of future wars.
"The crying need of the world i
peace and peace has been- deliberately
denied it in the effort to form a war
league. The peace congress has at last
awaked to the demand for peace
and seized the opportunity of the las
three weeks, being relieved during that
period of the obsession of the war
league to make the terms of peace."

Famous EnglUh 'Writer, Urea Dj
Four Years Spent on Fronts, to
Take Rest in Country.
NEW YORK. "Foch had a vision of
victory even In March. 1918, when
things seemed to be at their worst."
Such was the statement of Philip Gibbs,
the famous English war correspondent,
who is making his first visit to this
country. He is war weary and suffer
ing from the strain of more than four
years on various battle fronts. Mr.
Gibbs has come here on a vacation, but
finds New York a "very vivid" place
and is going away to the country with
his brother, Cosmo Hamilton, to bo
quiet for a few days.
Mr. Gibbs has been staying at the
Vanderbilt hotel, and when seen by a
reporter declared that there seemed to
be more telephones in the hotel than on
the entire battle front and that they
never stopped ringing for any length of
time if they could all be judged by his
own.
In connection with Foch's "vision of
victory" the anecdote relafed by Mr.
Gibbs has not before been printed. It
was of a time when the decision of the
war was in the balance, when the
French and British armies had been
worn to a "thin red line." so to speak,
and were at the end of their strength.
"This happened when the Germans
were crashing through on the Chemin
des Dames front," said Mr. Gibbs, "put
ting every ounce of their power into
Ludendorff's master stroke, with the
British armies battered and war broken
with their backs very truly, as Mar
shal Haig said, against the wall.
"It was at this time, then, when the
allies seemed at the end of their ability
to battle on and the chances all in
favor of the enemy, when a certain
great English statesman, whose name 1
cannot use and who was then in France,
met Marshal Foch, the allied generalis
simo. Possibly it seemed to the great
statesman that the case of the allies
was very desperate and will-nigh hope
less, but at any rate he asked Marshal
Foch his opinion of the situation.
" 'What do you think of tilings. Mar
shal Foch? he asked, and probably
trembled for the answer.
"-I feel 'very sorry for Ludendorff."
replied Koch quietly, without the slight
est hesitancy.
"Pressed for an explanation of his
rather cryptic reply. Marshal Foch told
the British leader that in his opinion
he Germans had reached the 'top of the
wave and that the great stroke that
Ludendorff had planned would not be
uccessful during the present offensive.
German man power had been
tretched to its. utmost. Marshal Foch
believed, for the time being, and to his
sensitive vision the crisis was past.
emporarily. at any rate." said Mr.
Gibbs. "The events proved that he was
correct. The allies had about three
ays to reorganize their strength while
he Germans were bringing up their
big guns over war-furrowed ground
and their subsequent attack did not
have the old power.
"Perhaps Foch in his vision saw the
ntire German disaster and the allied
victories that were to come.
At any rate, soon after that, up on
he British front where I did most of
my work, we saw the first of the Amer
icans, and to say that the sight was
refreshing and encouraging is putting
it mildly. To the British Tornmv. war
worn, battered and mud stained, to see
these fine young Yankee boys, brawny
and fresh, was a sight that brought
tears of thanksgiving to many an eye.
'The first Americans I saw were the
men of the 3oth division fine, husky
southern boys. When they ' marched
nto billets with the British I thought
had never seen a finer body of men."
Mr. Gibbs. who arrived on the Cunard
liner Carmania. said he was almost
stunned by his first sight of the citv
as the ship came up the harbor on a
misty morning. He is probably our
first distinguished visitor to comment
on the New York skyscraper line since
the ending of the great war.
Coming here from Europe is like
coming from one world to another. I
was quite stunned by the great cliff
like buildings. I hail read a great deal
about.them and seen pictures, but when
1 saw them looming out of the mist the
other morning it seemed like a dream
city. But as for taking a rest in New
lork, it can't be done, as I believe the
saying is.
Mr. Gibbs Is a man of medium stat
ure, with keen, smooth-shaven face,
and must have had muscles of steel to
stand the shock and strain of his long
service at the front. He is about 40
years old. When he was a youngster
his people patterned him for a literary
career.

A big nutritious potato just baked to a turn
its floury goodness bursting through the
jacket certainly makes a great ration, when
Carnation Milk is used.
Eat more potatoes! They are plentiful and
comparatively cheap. And they are rich in
food value, containing an abundance of pro
teins, carbohydrates and mineral salts; only
lacking in fats. Carnation Milk supplies this
deficiency in a generous way, making pota
toes, in any style, a coaxingly-flavored and
highly sustaining dish.
Carnation is the regular milk supply In
hundreds of thousands of homes. It is just
pure, whole, cows' milk evaporated to the
consistency of cream and sterilized to insure
its purity and wholesomeness. Only the
water is taken out nothing is added.
Carnation is the milk par excellence for
every milk use. Convenient, always safe and
wonderfully nutritious, thousands of good
housekeepers use it exclusively. It does en
hance one's reputation as a cook. Try it with
your favorite recipes and note the satisfactory
