BT HERBERT BATARD SWOPE.
ICoprrlght by the New York World. Pub
lished by Arrangement.)
PARIS. April 2. (Special.) The new
covenant of the league of nations will
how marked chances in the text which
was first presented on February 13.
Suggestions received from all sources
have been thoroughly considered in line
with the assurances that the commit'
aion studying; the subject was actuated
by no pride of authorship, but was will
ing to Incorporate any idea that tended
toward the strength of clarity of the
instrument.
Maare DocTriM e Be Mentioned.
The outline as here presented is based
apon Information received from various
members of the special committee and
may be depended upon as authorita
tive. Before going Into details It Is of im
portance to say that at the next meet
ing tomorrow specific reference to the
Monroe doctrine is almost certain to be
accepted for inclusion. The clause will
take substantially the form of a defin
ite recognition of certain principles ot
international practice tending to pre
serve the peace of the world, such as
arbitration treatlea and the Monroe
doctrine.
Internal Prvbtesaa 4 Be Caarded.
It does not appear In the present
copy, which Is to be gone over Thurs
day, when the full committee will pass
upon the Instrument, as It Is to be sub.
mitted to the plenary session. At the
meeting certain amendatory sugges
tions also will 'be considered. One of
the committeemen who has played a
big part In drafting the new document
says that the chief new point to be
found In it concerns non-interference
with Internal affairs. Changes in the
terma appear In every sentence and
there are frequent alterations in the
numbering of the articles.
The new title reads, "Covenant of the
League of Nations.1
In the preamble instead of "To Secure
International." etc the new reading is,
"To Achieve." Also in the preamble
the phrase running "The Powers Signa
tory to this covenant adopt this con
stitution of tho league of rations," now
reads, "The high contracting parties
agree to this covenant as the constitu
tion," etc
Artlcle One Changed.
Article I chows a complete change,
the new article being: "The original
members of the league shall be those
of the signatories whose names are in
the schedule annexed to this covenant
and also those other states named In
the schedules which are hereby Invited
to accede to this covenant."
Substitute for article 2 "The action
c-f the league under this covenant shall
be effected through the Instrumentality
of a body of delegates, of a council and
of a permanent secretariat."
New article 3 reads: "The body of
delegates shall meet at stated intervals
and from time to time as occasion may
require, at the seat of the league, or.
at such other place as may be decided
upon.
"rp of Leagwe la Oatllned.
"The body of delegates may deal at
Its meeting with any matter w-ithin the
sphere of action of the league affecting
the peace of the world.
"At the meetings of the body of dele
gates voting shall be by states, each
member of the league shall have one
vote, and may not have more than
three representatives."
Article 4 is given In full because
of many changes in the text and ar
rangements of paragraphs, and because
of Its vital importance. In substance
It is similar to the former article 3.
It reads:
"The council shall consist of nine
representatives, one from the United
States of America, one from the British
empire, one from Prance, one from
Italy and one from Japan, together
with representatives of four other
members of the league. These four
states shall be selected from time to
time by the body of delegates in its
discretion, t'ntll the appointment ot
the representatives of the four states

Steamers Likely to Be Requisitioned
After Result or Trials of Five
Boats Are Ascertained.
OREGOXIAN NEWS BUREAU, 'Wash
ington. April 2. Senator McNary re
turned today from a conference with
Julius Barnes, director of the United
States grain corporation at New iork,
feeling that a start had been made to
ward getting wheat and wheat products
moved from Columbia river and Puget
sound elevators. Director Barnes said
that he had finally obtained Insurance
on five wooden ships from San Fran
cisco which are to be used In carrying
flour from the Pacific to the Atlantic
coast at 12 a hundred pounds, this
cost to be absorbed by the food admin
istration and the shipping board.
The result of the trials of these boats,
he said, will be known In 30 days and
if successful other government-built
wooden ships will be requisitioned from
the Columbia river and Puget sound to
speed up shipments. In addition to the
flour to be moved on these five wooden
ships, ten eteel ships, five of which are
for Portland and five for Puget sound,
have been secured and will be loaded
with flour at those ports before the
end of April. It was explained that
the grain corporation has hesitated to
use wooden ships In this trade because
In a test made with the Boxley, a wood
en steamer from Portland. 1000 sacks of
flour were damaged by pitch stain.
The Boxley was dispatched by the
Admiral line for New York and the best
Information reaching Portland regard
ing ber cargo was that flour under one
hatch had been damaged by water, but
there have been no reports before that
there had been damage from pitch. The
question Involving tho use of wooden
steamers has been whether flour would
absorb the odor of carbolineum, which
Is used as a preservative in some, frame
timbers, and that is declared to have
been disproved In the case of the
Boxley.

The trial flight of the most remarkable
airplane yet designed In this country
will be made at Franborough, Hamp
shire, next month. The machine is i
Tarrant auper-trlplane. which was
briefly referred to by - Major-General
Seely In the house of commons on
March 13, when he foreshadowed a
marvelous development of civilian avi
ation. The most striking feature of the
plane is Its long, cigar-shaped fuse-
age, similar In appearance to the body
of a Zeppelin.
The machine was designed originally
bomb Berlin, for which it would
carry 10,000 pounds of bombs and a
crew of eight over a distance of 1200
miles. It has a span of 141 feet, the
fuselage is 85 feet long and It Is fitted
with six 600-horsepower engines. It

Hsneo oy arrangement.
LONDON. April 2. An order for 750,-
000 tons of steel rails required for re
construction in northern France was
recently offered to British and Cnlted
tates manufacturers. When the Brit-
sh manufacturers got down to the
bare net cost, with no profit at all. they
were still $6.90 per ton higher than the
price quoted by the American manufac
turers. An order for EOO.000 tons of
rails has already gone to America.
The remaining 150,000 tons were held
over for British manufacturers, but
they could make no certain promise of
delivery because of threats of strikes,
and If the second order has not already
gone It is likely to follow the first one
to America,
An order of about $3,450,000 for loco
motives is also believed to have been
lost to the United States.

men of the great "wild west." They are
the veterans of St. Mihiel, the Argonne
and Ypres.
Colonel H. L. Cavanaugh of the gen

and Mrs. Cavanaugh appeared at the
piers to greet the colonel and some of
the Oregon officers who arrived.
Colonel Cavanaugh has the American
distinguished service medal and the
French crolx de guerre. The latter was
won at Eclisfontalne when the lines
about the command of Colonel Cavan
augh were obliged to fall back and his
co.nmand advanced in spite of the heavy
firing on them. His decoration comes

Raid Made During Severe Hail
Storm Stolen Cattle and
Horses AH Recovered.
MAFA, Tex.. April 2. Following
raid across the Rio Grande river dur
ing a blinding hail storm by Mexican
bandits last night, troop K, 8th cavalry.
in command of Captain Matlack. over
took and killed five of the bandits, re
covered the horses and cattle stolen
and returned to the American side.
An official report to this effect was
received by Colonel George T. Lang
home at district headquarters here late
today.
The report of the Mexicans crossing
the river was received at midnight last
night during the most severe hail storm
in the history of the big bend district.
The bandits were reported to have
crossed to the American side between
Ruidoda and Candelari. on the river
front. They stole cattle and horses and
drove them back across the river under
cover of darkness and the storm.
Troop K, In command of Captain Mat-
lack, and troop M, commanded by Cap
tain Broadhead, were ordered to the
scene of the raid and by daybreak troop
I. had moved Into support positions
from Indio. Infantry detachments were
moved by wagon train and trucks over
almost Impassable roads to occupy the
station left vacant by the cavalry
troops forming for the pursuit.
As soon as it was light enough for
the scouts to locate the tracks of the
raiders and stolen cattle these were
followed to the river bank, where they
could be plainly seen on the Mexican
side. Cavalry troops were ordered to
follow into Mexico on the "hot trail.'
The bandits scattered and troop K,
under Captain Matlack, followed one
band, while Captain Broadhead, com
mandlng troop In, pursued the other.
They galloped over trails which were
like mountain paths, troop K overtak
ing the bandits and killing five of them
before they could hide in the canyons.
The cavalry recovered the horses and
cattle stolen, after the exact number
of stolen animals had been verified. All
the troops returned to the Texas side
without casualties.
Troop K rode 60 miles and troop M
still farther, after midnight, to over
take Uie Mexican bandits. The raid
was the eighth successful pursuit into
Mexico by the 8th cavalry since it came
to Big Bend, and will probably be its
last, as the regiment will leave next
week for Fort Bliss.

Head of Japanese Delegation at
Paris Says His Country Will Not
Occupy Inferior Place.
PARIS, April 2. (By the Associated
Press.) No Aslatio nation could be
happy in a league of nations in which
sharp racial discrimination is main
tained. Baron Makino. head of the Jap
anese delegation to the peace confer
ence, declared in a statement to the
Associated Press today on the position
of Japan.
"We are not too proud to fight," the
baron said, "but we are too proud to
accept a place of admitted inferiority
in dealing with one or more associate
nations. We want nothing- but simple
justice.
"Japan is glad to join a league of
nations to maintain peace and order,"
the baron added.
"Japan does not wish," he continued.
to force her laborers as immigrants
on any associate countries and rec
ognizes that this question is one for
each nation to deal with itself.
Baron Gives Views.
"Japan feels that it is entitled to
frank and open admission by the allies
that the principle of equity and justice
is a fundamental tenet of the league
of nations," the baron continued. Japan
sees difficulties in the way of a perma
nent and successful operation of the
league, the baron asserted, unless the
contracting parties enter it with mutual
respect.
Baron J'akir'o. In his statement to the
Associated Press on the position of
Japan, said:
'You ask me for a plain and frank
statement of the position of Japan.
Well, I m tempted to ask you a ques
tion in reply.
'Do you think it possible "for me to
say anything that will not be willfully
distorted and misinterpreted by those
who have so long and so persistently
sought to clog the efforts of my coun
try, to ascribe to her motives she has
never had and to malign her at every
turn? Let us see.
Japan Said to Be Friendly.
"As to the United States, Japan has
very sincere, abiding and affection
ate regard. We owe to her our place
in the world, that is to say, the civ
ilized world. Perhaps I should not al
together agree to that phrase, because
you know, and everyone should know.

of the lambing season, a ehortage of
help is being experienced here and th
local branch, of the federal employmen
service is unable to supply the demand
of local ranchers for farm hands.

Proclamation Js Signed by 33 of
Corea's Influential Men Jap
anese Brutality Is Bared.
SAN FRANCISCO. April 2. The full
text of the Corean proclamation of in
dependence, which resulted in rioting
In Seoul, the capital of Corea when it
first was publicly distributed, March 1,
was brought here today by V. S. Mc
Clatchy. director of the Associated
Press, returning from the orient on the
steamer Shinyo Maru.
The translation was forwarded by
messenger to the Associated Press bu
reau at Tokio, and by it given to Mr.
McClutchy to bring to the United
States.
The Japanese, according to Informa
tion accompanying the proclamation,
searched persons on the street the
night the proclamation first was dis
tributed, including some Americans, In
an effort to find and seize all copies
of it.
Influential 5Ion Sign.
The proclamation is signed by 35 men,
all of whom later were arrested.
The signers of the proclamation are
all men of influence In Corea. They
include Buddhist leaders, literary men
of note and leaders In the four Chris
tian denominations, Presbyterian, Meth
odist and Episcopal and Roman Cath
olic. Song Tyung HI, whose name heads
the list. Is head of the new Corean
sect, known as the "Chun Do Kyo" or
"nature cult." His followers are re
puted to number hundreds of . thou
sands. His Income is said to have been
great, and until recently -he appeared
to flourish under Japanese protection
and encouragement.
"This work of ours is in behalf of
truth, religion and life," the procla
mation declares, "undertaken at the re
quest of our people, in order to make
known their desire for liberty. Let all
things be done decently and in order,
so that our behavior to the very end
may be honorable and upright." (
Independence Is Proclaimed.
The proclamation declares that "hav
ing back of us 20,000,000 of united loyal
people," and "5000 years of history," the
signers "herewith proclaim the inde
pendence of Corea and the liberty of tho
Corean people."
This is the clear leading of God, ths
moving principle of the present age,
the whole human race's Just claim. It
is something that cannot be suppressed
by any means."
The text of the proclamaton follows:
"We herewith proclaim the indepen
dence of Corea and the liberty of the
Corean people. We tell It to the world
in witness of the equality of all nations
and we pass it on to our posterity as
their inherent right.
"We make this proclamation, having
back of us S000 years of history and
20,000,1)00 of a united, loyal people. We
take this step to insure to our chil
dren for all time to come, personal lib
erty in accord with the awakening
consciousness of this new era. This is
the clear leading of God, the moving
principle of the present age, the whole
human race's just claim. It is some
thing that cannot be stamped out or
stifled, or gagged, or suppressed by
any means.
Foreign Oppression Scored,
Victims of an older age, when brute
force and the spirit of plunder ruled,
we have come after theBe long thou
sands of years to experience the agony
of 10 years of foreign oppression with
every loss to the right to live, every
restriction on the freedom of thought.
every damage done to the dignity of
life, every opportunity lost for a share
the intelligent advance of the age
in which we live.
"Assuredly, If the defects of the past
are to be rectifled. If the agony of the
present Is to be unloosed, if the future
oppression is to be avoided, if thought
is to be set free, if right of action is
to be given a place, if we are to at
tain to any way of progress. If we are
to deliver our children from the painful,
shameful heritage, if we are to leave
blessing and happiness Intact for thoso
who succeed us, the first of all neces
sary things is the clear-cut independ
ence of our people. What cannot our
twenty millions do, every man with
sword In heart, in this day when hu-
an nature and conscience are making
stand for truth and right? What
barrier can we not break, what purposa
can we not accomplish?
Japanese Oppression Noted.
"We have no desire to accuse Japan
of falsehood when she charged China
with breaking her treaty of 1636 as an
excuse to absorb us, nor to single out
specially the teachers in the schools or
government officials who treat the her
itage of our ancestors as a colony of
their own, and our people and their
civilization as a nation of savages, find-
ng delight only in beating us down
and bringing us under their heel.
We have no wish to find special
fault with Japan's lack of fairness or
