President Returns.

FRENCH PRESS IS CORDIAL
Tapers Express Confidence That
AVork of Peace Conference 'Will
Be Expedited From Xow On.
PARIS, March 14. President Wilson,
returning to the peace conference after
his trip to the United States, arrived
In Paris shortly after noon today.
The demonstration attending the
president's arrival lacked the magni
tude of that upon the occasion of
hia Initial appearance last December.
Nevertheless, it was spontaneous and
cordial.
The people had been kept In Igno
rance as to which railroad station his
train would enter. The president had
requested this, as he desired to come
into the capital this time merely as a
private citizen. Nevertheless, the pop
ulation heard early in the day that the
station selected was the Invalides and
they had assembled there in great num
bers by the time his train was due.
Prominent Persona at Station.
The presidential party was met at
tho station by President Poincare and
Madame Poincare, Premier Clemen
ceau, Foreign Minister Pichon, Andre
Tardieu, General Berdoulat, the mili
tary governor of Paris; Major-General
Mordacq, head of the military cabinet
of the ministry of war; Secretary of
State Lansing, General Tasker H. Bliss,
Henry White of the peace mission. Am
bassador Sharp and Admiral Benson.
President Poincare . gave President
Wilson a cordial greeting during a
brief conversation. With Premier
Clemenceau the American executive
spoke for some time, congratulating
the French statesman.-on.-his escape
from death in the recent attempt to
assassinate him.
President Wilson appeared to be in
excellent health and epirits.
Clemenceau Is Congratulated.
The president did not tarry on the
Btation platform. He let his hand lin
ger longer in that of M. Clemenceau
than of anyone else and spoke earnestly
to the premier as they strolled down
the platform. After he had congratu
lated M. Clemenceau on his escape from
death by the assassin's bullets, the pre
micr turned and smilingly said:
"My hide is too thick for a little
piece of lead to do me. any harm
Emerging from the station. President
Wilson immediately entered his motor
car, which drove at high speed along
the left bank of the Seine, crossing the
river on the Alma bridge. Arriving in
the Place des Etats Unis, the streets
were virtually deserted, a fact sharply
in contrast wth the president's ap
pearance in Paris three months ago.
President Meets Lloyd George.
President Wilson got to work imme
diately after his arrival at his new
residence in the Place des Etats Unis.
Premier Lloyd George was waiting
there for the president and the two
had a long conference. Tho president
then arranged for a conference at the
Hotel de Crillon this afternoon with
Premier Clemenceau, Premier Lloyd
George and E. M. House.
The president is fully conversant with
the work accomplished by the peace
delegates. During his voyage from the
United States he was constantly in
communication with Paris by wireless.
E. M. House took to Brest a large
number of papers bearing on the work
of the conference during the president's
absence.
The president spent several hours
last night in going through the papers
and receiving explanations from Mr.
House. He resumes work with a grasp
of the matters under dfscussion.
Paris Papers enrolment.
The return of President Wilson is
welcomed by the morning newspapers
in editorials. The Journal says that it
means early and positive results from
the peace conference, adding:
"There is no doubt the president
comes back with their full resolve to
wind up the war promptly."
The editorial writers also are occu
pied with the present state of public
opinion in America. The Figaro says
that the United States, by sharing in
the war and by the prominent role it is
playing at the peace conference, has
become one of the pri cipal actors in
European and world policies, but adds:
"But will the United States desire to
be of the same mind once the treaty of
peace is signed? Will it not rather yield
and go home for good, leaving old Eu
rope to work out its salvation by itself?
The sudden withdrawal of the United
States would have regrettable conse
quences, because there are several prob
lems which we, the British, Italians and
French, would settle in quite a differ
ent way than if America was a factor.
As far as can be Judged, however, it
does not seem that such an eventuality
is to be feared.
Matin Is Cordial to Wilson.
"Making all allowances for internal
political quarrels in America, it may be
said that President Wilson's policy in
its main lines is approved by a majority
of his fellow citizens. Many of them, it

FAIR DEAL FOR JAPAN URGED
Envoy Would End "Cause of
International Discord."
GRAVE INJUSTICE ALLEGED
Time Held Opportune for Action in
Behalf of Nipponese at Confer
ence Now On in Paris.
NEW TOKK,-March 14. Action by
the peace conference to eliminate race
prejudice, which he termed "a fruitful
source of discontent and uneasiness
among nations in the past," was urged
by Viscount Isbll. Japanese ambassador
to the United States, speaking before
the Japan society here tonight.
"Nothing would contribute more ef
fectively to the foundation of perma
nent peace," ho declared, "than appli
cation of a proper remedy," at this op
portune moment, "to this cause of in
ternational discord." The organization
of a league of nations, he added, would
not be worthy of confidence if it
omitted a provision to right the con
spicuous Injustice" arising out of
prejudice between the races.
Fair Deal Is Assured.
The ambassador indicated that if this
were done Japan would not take ad
vantage of audi a provision, but would
adhere to her "gentleinen'B agreement
in tho matter of emigration of Japanese
labor to the United States and await
the time when by "gradual evolution
the problem would be settled to the
mutual satisfaction of both countries.
"The restriction of immigration to
America." Viscount Ishii cited as Ja
pan's "fixed policy," despite tho treaty
right of her nationals to free entrance
and residence in the United States,
and he said he hoped this policy? as
"abundantly attested by her past rec
ord." would "disarm any alarmist and
unwarranted view pointing to the prob
ability of Japan's tsl.ing advantage
of the coveted article in the league
constitution."
Issue ot to Be 1'orrrd.
Nothing would be "farther from Ja
pan's thought." he continued, "than
hastily to force the Issue of the labor
question in the event of the league
covenant being modified in accordance
with her desire, that in, upon a new
article being inserted in the coenaut
against racial discrimination." (
Viscount Ishii reserved the right of
the Asiatics "who fought side by side
with the Anglo-Maxon, Latin and Slavs
against the common foe," to equal con
sideration among the allied peoples.
"The single-m ed object of the war,"
said the ambassador, "was the mainte
nance of international justice and the
establishment of durable peace. No

Spokane Man Reports Excellent In

Anions Northwest Farmers.
SEATTLE. Wash.. March 14. (Spe
cial.) Spurred by the certainty of a
price better than $2 a bushel for their
1919 wheat, guarantee! by the United
States government, the farmers of
eastern Washington and the whole In
land Empire, which includes eastern
Oregon and the panhandle of Idaho.
this spring will have in grain the larg
est acreage .ever known, according to
Eugene B. Favre, or Spokane. -There
is a possibility in eastern Washington
of a crop around 40.000.000 bushels.
provided adverse weather conditions do
not ensue.
Mr. Favre Is here after having mad
an investigation of several weeks in the
great wheat growing districts of the
Inland Empire.
"Present soil and moisture condi
tions have never been surpassed in
prospects for a record-breaking crop
Mr. Favre said. "The acreape in win
ter wheal is not large, but Hhe grain
ia In fine shape. There is. plenty of
moisture In the ground and the acreage
sown to spring wheat probably will
establish a new record. Farmers will
plant to the limit of their machinery
equipment and other resources. Ac
tivity exists everywhere among the
farmers of the eastern Washington and
Idaho grain belts.
"Last year extremely harsh weather
conditions cut the Washington crop to
:5.000.000 bushels and 1917 was nearly
as bad. There Is a good chance that
the state will produce an average crop
this year and if the farmers have luck
they will clean up a big lot of money

Much Concerned.

Rioters at Seoul and Llscw here Ar
rested; People Hope for Peace
ful Solution of Problem.
WASHINGTON. March 14. Official
advices received by the state depart
ment today from the orient described
the independence movement in Corea
as a spontanous one which had assumed
large proportions. No effort at or
ganized resistance to Japanese author
ity has been undertaken, but demon
strations and meetings have been held
throughout the country.
Many of the demonstrations were re
pressed by the Japanese authorities,
but it was said the Japanese, later
adopted a more conciliatory attitude
and that they might treat the aspira
tions of the Coreans with more sym
pathy. Immediate demands of the
Coreans included freedom of speech,
right of petition and the teaching of
the Corean language in the schools,
with ultimate independence .for tho
country.
Grd Ordered to !r..l.
The demonstration at Seoul and other
points were planned to take place on
the day of the former emperor's
funeral, but after learning that tho
Japanese had ordered gendarmes in
from the outlying districts, the leaders
launched the movement two days
earlier.
The state department Issued this
statement on the demonstrations:
"The department of state has re
ceived information relative to the re
cent disturbances at Seoul and other
parts of Corea which resulted In the
arrest of a large number of rioters.
The trouble seems to have originated
through the circulation of a document
i-inned by 33 Coreans eontalning at
tacks upon the Japanese government
and declaring the independence of
Corea. A parade, composed largely
of students of Japanese and mission
schools, was broken up by the police
at Seoul. risorders occurred at other
points, particularly in northern Corea.
where there was reported a small loss
of life.
Iw rartlrlpaats Christiana.
"A telegram received by the depart
ment reports that on March 12 the
street demonstrations had practically
rfaf d at Seoul and elsewhere and that
it was officially announced that only
1 per cent of the active participants
were Christians: that the principal
leaders were members of a new polit-Iral-reliaious
society, and that foreign
missionaries were not connected with
the movement. The object of the dem
onstration is stated to have been to
obtain freedom of speech, right of pe-
jtitlon and use of the Corean language
n schools and the correction of other
grievances."

OSAKA, Japan. March 14. (By the
Associated Press.) Disturbances con
tinue in the provinces of Corea and are

according to advices received here.
Eighty-five localities have been af
fected. Missionaries Are Aenar.
Some of the Japanese y mission
aries have encouraged and even insti
gated the riots. The leadinK mission
ary at Seoul, however, has refuted the
accusation that the missionaries in-
spired the unrest, declaring that none
of them knew that trouble was brew
ing. Isaburo Yamasata. deputy res!-dent-peneral
of Corea, is quoted aa say
ins that the chief cause of the turmoil
has been an erroneous conception of
self-determination. M. YamaKata added
that as a result of disturbances the
Kovernment had discovered a flaw in
the administration of Corea which
would be rectified.
