TIIE MORNING OREGONIAN, TUESDAY, MARCH 25, 1919. PEACE CONFERENCE LOSES PUBLIC FAITH President Wilson Passes Day on Battlefields. BOCHE OFFENSES MULTIPLY lions' Failure to Transmit $2,000, 000 to Rotterdam in Payment for Supplies Rolls. BT HERBERT BAYARD SWOPE. (Copyright b th N.w York World. Pub lished by Arrangement.) PARIS. March 24. While President Wilson visited America's battieneias. sub-committees of the economio and league of nations commissions worked on the problems confronting; them sun day, with progress being; reported in the first Instance. A communication has been sent to the German government requesting; a meeting this week in Cologne, at which final approval will be riven to a list of Germany's exports and the prices at which they are to be delivered to the allies. At that time Germany will be jacked up sharply for her failure to make pood her undertaking to transmit 100.000.000 marks In trold (approximately 11.000, 000) to Rotterdam for first payments on food purchases. Germany Declared Offender. It must not be thought that Germany has been the sole dictum of confusion arising from the Irresolute policy of associated icovernment. On the con trary, she has been keen to take ad vantage of every opening under the cover of seem.ng mistakes in policy on the part of her former enemies. One ofTense she has been guilty of has Just come to licht. whereby she Is shown to have been a consistent exporter of securities which has been liquidated in neutral markets, although she has bound herself solemnly to send out no securities in Bignlng the original ar mistice. Her's was the first offense, while the allies erred In giving her a basis for charitcs of bad faith, thus pre tending to justlify further breaches on her part. The Immediate economic situation la not healthy and will take much nurs ing to restore it to normal. A favor able sign was found in the movement of the German merchant ships, which will act at once to break the famine that threatens Germany and which In vites bolshevism. Monroe? Dot-trine at laaue. Into the league of nations there may be introduced some specific reference to the Monroe doctrine, according to the programme of the last few days. But while everybody talks about it, no body seems seriously to expect it. In fact, those who should know incline strongly to the belief that the final document to be submitted to the plen ary session will not be essentially dif ferent from the original draft, al though there may be much guns and bluff made about the fact that the amendments are being confirmed. The document as drawn represented the best thought of a large group, and while it would be unfair to say they are affected by the pride of authorship, nevertheless they feel that they should be "shown" before any changes are made. In general the peace conference Is losing public confidence over here. It is useless to deny this, but that the loss is justified is another story. France Relieves Situation. The hardest null always comes as the peak of the hill is approached and it may very likely be true that the present seeming inaction covers vast operations in that the conference has invited upon it from all sides by de liberate methods of secrecy and viola tion of the pledge to publicity. "Open covenants openly arrived at" is less the accepted formula aa the play of inter est grows sharper, with the end ocming nearer. The situation has been partially re lieved by an understanding with France whereby that country under takes, to buy rothing from Germany which she rwnt pay for in neutral credits whi ! Germany can exchange for food at fall value. This solution brings the elimination of payments In I francs and llres. for which there Is a diminishing market at this time. Artilleryman Returns Home.

A. with Mary Plckford incomes, perhaps none of the rest qf us would ever have to pay taxes. When Miss Pickford made her income tax declaration recently it was discov ered that she and Uncle Sam are work ing on a 60-50 basis. Every time Mary makes a dollar Uncle Sam gets half of It. In fact. Uncle gets a little more than half, for Little Mary is one of those persons who. under the income tax law, must pay at least 60 per cent of their earnings to the government. While no definite figures can be given out regarding Miss i'ickford s income, owing to the fact that it would be a violation of government regulations, yet it is believed that the gross earn ing power of the little star Is slightly In excess of $3 a minute. This estimate is based on her contract of last year, under which Miss Pickford was paid 110,000 a week." This means that Uncle Sam, by virtue of the income tax levy, gets at least $90 every hour that Mary works, basing the figures according to the union scale of eight hours a day, and six days a week. Owing to the fact that Miss Pjck rord was Idle during nearly half of Vlli, It is believed that her contribution to the government this year will not be so crcat as last year,.- when she paid nearly 210,000 income tax. But at any rate it pays Uncle Sam for little Mary to work. Screen Gossip. Harry B. Warner, who was so popu lar in the heyday of Triangle, quit "Sleeping Partners' and Broadway to go back to the studio. Now the stage producer has been granted a temporary injunction preventing H. B. from work ing further in pictures until the matter of his stage contract Is threshed out in the courts. a William Fox predicts that it .will be the motion picture and not a league of GARMENT COST MAT DROP MfcRClLVXT TAILORS DISCUSS CO-OPER.TIOX XEED. Charles Coopey Returns From An nual Convention in Atlantic City. Eastern Cities Crowded. Closer co-operation between em ployer and employe so as to produce rreater efficiency and lower the cost of production of garments without low ering wages was among the recom mendations of the national association of merchant tailors at the annual con vention in Atlantic City recently, ac cording to Charles Coopey, Portland tailor, who has just returned from a six weeks' tour of the principal cities of the east. A national advertising campaign that will educate the people to the advantages of tailor-made clothes also was decided upon, he said. Conditions in eastern centers presage an early return to normal business conditions and good times, oojnes Mr. Coopey. who is optimistic for the Im mediate future. "New York was crowded to the limit, despite doiena of new hotels." he de clared; "Philadelphia is in about the same condition, with a tremendous de mand for workinffmen'a houses. Bos ton. Cleveland. Chicago and St. Louis all are booming all are getting plenty of new factories with large payrolls, which they recognize as the backbone of trie city's industrial future.

Indian Princess to Appear in Recital Tonight. Member of Peaobscot Tribe Says !he la t Prlncen, but Real America Programme to Be Given at Little Theater. A PRETTY girl is the Princess Watahwaso. She has brown skin, lauffhtntr eyes, teeth-of pearly whiteness, and she fairly radiates health. She. as sisted by Frederick Toenniges. pianist, and Elsa Becker, violinist, will appear in recital tonight at 8:15 o'clock at the Little theater.

Wheeler Oakman, Mabel Normand's leading man in "Mickey," and recently one of Lncle Sam's warriors, will make his reappearance In. films with Viola Dana. Peggy Pearce, former Key stone comedy twinkler, is another member of the same cast. ' Claire jWhitney, former Fox player, is on the stage, playing the part of a slangy chorus girl in "The Net,". .a Broadway play. ' m Edith Roberts says: "I want a lead ing man with the physique of James J. Corbett, the impress! veness of Tyrone Power, the grace of Rodolfo de Valen tina or Kenneth Harlan and the verve of Sidney Grant." Writing in a satirical yet good-natured vein, an Atlanta newspaperman compares the reception accorded Will iam H. Taft and Fatty Arbuckle in that city. Hundreds of people greeted Taft, with two policemen to handle the crowd. It took the strenuous efforts of a dozen coppers to keep the thousands away from Fatty. Paul W. San t sell I made his film de but as Tom In "The Heart of Mary land." Paul W. didn't hit the director as an appropriate name, so the screen fighting man was dubbed Tom, and Tom he has been to this day. Santschi is now supporting Madelaine Traverse in Fox pictures made in Hollywood. Doris Kenyon, picture star, who made . er stage debut in the Victor Herbert musical comedy, "Princess Pat," is go ing back to the stage. She's going te' be starred next Winter In a farce com edy written by Avery Hopwood. It'll be another case of pictures and stage at the same time, however. If the Anti-Saloon league people have their way it will be unlawful to show wine, whisky or beer bottles on the screen after July 1. Carl Laemmle says he wants to make clean pictures with clean people, not persons who have achieved notoriety. He takes a poke at the old notoriety angle, so long identified with the stage, by asserting that the drawing power of an actor or actress falls 50 per cent when he or she becomes notorious. e Enid Markey, who was a well known figure in so many Triangle pic tures, is making a hit on the New York stage. Here's an acho of assertions made in Portland not so very long ago. Nebras ka women accuse the National Board of Motion Picture Review with being dom inated by the film producers. It's the old censorship problem cropping up again. She is an educated musician, and Is said to have a lovely mezzo-soprano voice. "1 am a real .-American. said the Princess WaCahwaso, last night, "I am a chief's daifrhter. I was born on In dian Island, 13 miles north of Bangor, Me. My tribe is the Penobscot, of whom there are about 475 people living. We are purely American Indian. My name, Watahwaso, means 'Bright Star.' I was educated at Cambridge, Mass. As far as the princess part of me is concerned that is a white man's Invention he was my . press agent, and I have been called princess, since.

Indians do not have princes or princesses but chiefs and their families. My father was the head man of his tribe, and he taught school to the children of his fellow Indians. He taught tnem how to read, write, dance and sing. I have danced and sung since I was quite small child, and I helped my father in his teaching duties. From that start, I graduated as an exponent of' Indian dances and songs, many of them cere monial in charactcer and that Is my life today, all over America.

CAMAS PRODIGAL RETURNS Youth Comes to City for Fortune, but Loses Savings. With the world before him and Port land the first large city offering wealth and honor to its financial master, Theodore Scholl, aged 13, of Camas, Wash., arrived here after an unan nounced departure from home environ ment last week. At 5:45 o'clock last night he boarded a train for Camas, escorted by an officer of the juvenile court. His "bubble had burst Far from offering him a share of Its wealth, the cold city took from him his slender savings. A generous share of his capital was deposited with a lodging-house proprietor near Sixth and Burnside streets. When he returned from an unprofitable wandering about the city avenues, Theodore found his amazement that he was not quite certain just where he had engaged, and paid for, a room. Even with the aid of Juvenile court officers his search accomplished nothing up to the hour of his departure. Army Gas Mask Proves Worth. MARSHFIELD, Or., March 24. (Spe oial.) An army gas mask was put to civilian use here with a success that could not be obtained in any othe manner, when a bad ammonia leak in an ice-making plant was discovered and remedied. The plant had employed every other means available to stop the leak, but the fumes drove the work ers away before any of them could 10' cate the leak and stop it. Henry Le cocq, a member of the 65th coast ar tillery, adjusted his gas mask on E. Ford, proprietor of the troubled Indus try, and he went into the thickest the fumes and soon corrected the fault.
