BY ANNE SHANNON MONROE. NEW YORK, July 15. It's open sea eon for presidents in New York, and everybody's taking" a shot at them that is, everybody who isn't falling down and worshiping. Hero-worship seems coming- In with the homecoming" boys, and we can't be neutral or color less about anything any more. We are staunch fiery-eyed adherents, or we a re vigorous am! voicef ul opponents. There is no middle road. President Wilson on his return found iL New York waiting to see, but when it saw, it melted right up into a deep and reverent and very human love. He was t ur president coming home. He vas thin and worn and gray so very pray; and his eyes lighted with such joy in getting- back, as he pt it in his i: pcech "all from the heart," in Cer rcgie hall, "getting back where the rest of the folks are." It wasn't a political speech. He didn't talk on the league of nations. It was just an inti mate heart-to-heart talk to the home folks. He has in a remarkable meas ure, the power of seeming to talk to Just you when he is talking to a multi tude, making it intimate and close and personal, giving you the feeling of knowing him as a big brother or nice uncle or something that is fatherly and kind a sort of "I'll look after you" manner that makes one feel like not bothering any more, just let fcim do it. Greeting I" Entbulastfc- Carnegie hall was one mass of wav ing flags and waving persons, cheers, smiles, happiness and good humor, and rertainly a returning president could a.sk for nothing more in the way of hands held out in welcome. Whoever first started the idea that our presi dent is an austere, cold man, certainly had suffered some kind of personal frost that chilled his veins. Whatever our president is, he is human and never cold. Mrs. Wilson appeared very lovely in oft, silvery gray from head to foot no jewels, chains or flubdubs. Then we had , Hiram Johnson, who virtually threw fiis hat Into the presi dential ring when he cam out in his great Carnegie hall speech attacking the league of nations. He is strong and robust, more capable physically of en during the strain of a presidential campaign should such intention really be in his mind than was Theodore Koosevelt in his later years. Johnson Is in fone oratorical trim. It was dif ficult to gauge the pulse of the audi ence as to its reaction to Hiram, for it was so largely an Irish audience, consuming itself in boos and hisses every time England was mentioned, and as the speaker had to mention England repeatedly in attacking the league, the hisses and boos made a fairly steady accompaniment. It was a wild, noisy, interrupting audience, bent on one th-eme Ireland's freedom Whether it considered Senator John eon seriously is difficult to tell. 17,000 Hear le Valera. Then came the great Madison Square Garden Irish meeting the largest (rowd ever gathered in New York, for 17.000 were admitted, and an equal number satisfied themselves with camping in th-e square. The "president of the Irish republic," De Valera, was ihe attraction. He is occupying the ame suite at the Waldorf, it is said, which was occupied a few days earlier by President Wilson. The meeting wa? Irish from floor to garret. "We want our own land," was the wistful, heart - hungry, heart - rending cry from the innermost depths of these dauntless sons and daughters of Erin, president" De Valera is young and thin, like a flame of pure white light; almost puritanical, and he has a good thick Irish brogue that counter-balances the effect of his very un-Irish name. He is in earnest, deadly in earn est, all Ireland's, without a particle of self-consciousness or vanity ; like a man so steeped in his determination to eeo Ireland free that he has long since ceased seeing himself at all. He is not an orator. His voice is not strong and he does not appear any too strong himself so far as his physical frame is concerned, 'but he is a fine flame of Bpirit about which Ireland in America gathers as steel to a magnet. He has the kind of magnetism of absolute sin cerity and self-dedication. After hear ings him, and hearing the Irish hear Mm. one is rather of the opinion that Kn gland might as well get together around a little peace table of her own and settle up her affairs with Ireland as quickly as possible, for the settle ment is bound to come. OrffiOn Soldiers Wrlcotue. I wonder how many Oregonians in tne soft breezes, all rose-lad en. of their own beautiful state, give thought to the little Oregon club down here in sweltering New York for re turning soldiers, sailors and marines? How many realize just what it means to these sea-weary. foreign land tired and heart-hungry Oregon boys to drop into a little bit of Oregon main tained for them here? AH the home papers aro there and greetings from most of the home counties in placards on the walls, and a handshake and a '"Hello, buddy; what can we do for you? from some one in charge and register that tells them where their pals are and 'who's got back, and a real friendly interest that goes to the extent of lending them a few dollars i or emergencies wnen they are strapped. There is a great ten-gallon jar of ice cold lemonade, a bit of a kitchenette where sandwiches and cof fee are theirs for the making, plenty f cigarettes, information about the city and where to go. Many callers take the boys out for dinners, rides shows and dances. I wonder if Oregon has a vivid picture of just what this club means to the Oregon boys upon the first stop on arriving from over seas, when, more than ever again, they need the welcoming hand? And I wonder if Oregon mothers realize that unless this club is kept open till Sep tember or October a big lot of the boys will miss a'l this? Is it hardly fair to do more for one than for another? Should the lucky early-returning boys have more done for them than those who have been held till the end. every minute pulling at the leash like grey hounds? 1 find that the club may be closed by the end of July unless more funds are suppplied. ard I understand that the people of Oregon, through the legislature, appropriated a considerable rest of the boys still due; there will just be big hot, blistering strange New York, with no place to go that's a bit home-like, and nothing to do but get in trouble. JAPAN PLEDGES CORES AID PREMIER HARA ISSUES STATE MENT REGARDING POLICY. Statesman Avers Plans Are Under Way for Substantial Modifica tion of Government. SAN FRANCISCO, July 15. "A dis tinct improvement of conditions," and "administrative reform" has been prom ised for Corea by Premier K. Hara of Japan, according to information given out here today by T. Ohta, Japanese consul-general. The premier's state ment was in answer to inquiries by the committee on oriental relations of the federal council of Churches of Christ in America, regarding Corean affairs. The statement was as follows: "I beg to say to you that the reports in circulation regarding abuses said to have been committed by agents of the Japanese government in Corea have had my serious consideration and I am prepared to meet the established facts. As I have said on other occasions, the administration established in Corea at the time of the annexation, nearly 10 years ago, demands substantial modifi cation in order to adjust it to the al tered condition of things. "Since the organization of the present cabinet in September last I have given much thought and labor to a plan of administrative reform in Corea. A plan with this object in view is already under advisement. For patent reasons it has not been possible to put it into effect during the unfortunate disturb ances which have broken out in various parts of the peninsula. In view, how ever, of recent betterments in the situa tion, the contemplated reform measures can now, in my judgment, be safely in troduced and same will be put into ef fect as soon as definite methods of legal procedure have been completed. "More specific announcements of the plan must be withheld for the present, but I hope that the earnestness with which my colleagues and I are en deavoring to promote the welfare of our Corean kinsmen guaranteeing dis tinct improvement of conditions will not be misconstrued." HAYS D1SCDSSES LEAGUE REPUBLICAN LEADER THINKS RESERVATIONS NEEDED. United States Must Retain Power of Independent Action at All Times, He Says. NEW YORK, July 15. (Special.) Will H. Hayes, chairman of the re publican national committee, said this evening: The situation respecting the league covenant is simply this: There must be effective reservations. These reser vations must safeguard the sovereignty of the United States in every particu lar; must guarantee the Monroe doc trine beyond the shadow of a doubt; must either eliminate article 10 en tirely or so modify it that our own congress shall be morally as well as legally free after a specified period to decide when and where and to what extent our soldiers shall be employed; must retain our full control of immi gration, tariff and all - other purely domestic policies; and must provide full right to withdraw from the league at any time without hindrance or con dition of any kind upon giving suit able notice. "It is up to the administration to decide whether it will or will not ac cept these essential guarantees of American independence, which would unquestionably be promptly accepted by the other nation." AUTO LICENSE IS CLEW OREGON NUMBER PLATE Frtl'XI) NEAR WOMAN'S GRAVE. Reports of Pet Dog Being Investi gated by Police in Olympia Mur der Mystery Case. OLYMPIA, Vash., July 15. (Special.) Olympia officers engaged upon the Plum station murder mystery are giv ing some attention to an Oregon license plate for 1919 numbered 1572. which has been picked up on the Pacific highway near Kalama. as a possible clue to the strange machine that was seen at the scene of the murder in charge of a suspiciously acting stranger on the night of June 9. While the plate may have been lost from any one of many hundred touring Oregon autos, author ities of the latter state have been asked to trace its ownership in order not to overlook any possible clue in the case. Reports that a small dog has been lingering around the grave from which a woman's mangled body was taken are also being investigated. It is thought the animal may have been a pet of the murdered woman that has remained behind and somehow managed to live in the woods.

IN HOUSE REMODELED SUNDRY CIVIL BILL MEETS WITH DELAY. i ! Soldiers' neliabllitatfon Fnnd Is I Doubled In Attempt to Over come President's Veto. WASHINGTON. July 1 S Considera tion In the house today of the sundry civil appropriation bill as remodeled to meet the objections raised by the pres ident in vetoing It. precipitated a par tisan battle, which finally prevented further progress on the measure and ended only when the republicans forced through a motion to adjourn. The discussion began when the rules committees brought in a special rule for the immediate consideration of the appropriation measure, changed to pro vide S12.000.0U0 for the rehabilitation of wounded soldiers and sailors in stead of . 000,000, as originally Car ried. Democrats opposed the resolution, declaring if It were" adopted and the sundry civil bill would be passed it would enable the republicans to evade placing themselves on record as being opposed to the president's veto, and therefore opposed to an increase In the appropriation for the vocational train ing board. They contended that a president's veto, according to the con stitution, would have to be rejected or accepted by a record vote. Republicans argued, however, that such a course was backed by prece dent and would expedite action on the measure. Speaker Gillett overruled a point of order raised by Minority Leader Champ Clark and the resolution was adopted by a substantial majoritv. Debate on the appropriation bill itself resulted from 'attempts of democrats and Representative Madden, republican, of Illinois, to increase the vocational training appropriation. It was con tended that the first duty of the coun try was to provide for its injured sol diers regardless of the expense and that $12,000,000 was entirely inadequate. The amendments were opposed by Chairman Good of the appropriations committee, who declared that even $12. ooo.OOO was more than the vocational training board had ever asked for.
