Life Is Entertainment Fur
nished by City Clubs.
PRKSIDTO OF SAX FRANCISCO, Cal.,
July (Special.) Today marked the
beginning of the last week of the re
serve officers training1 camp, which has
been in progress here since June 21.
The total number in the regiment is
482 men, 4o of them being from Oregon.
.Five men represent the University of
Oregon in the basic course, 23 men
represent Oregon Agricultural college
in the same classification and 19 men
represent Corvallis in the senior ad
vanced course of which company H is
composed.
Keen competition has been main
tained between companies, many of
which are made up of men from some
particular schools or sections. Com
pany H leads in number of points up
to the present, having made high
marks in many different kinds of in
struction, including target shooting on
the rifle range at Fort Barry. Com
missions in the infantry reserve corps
will be granted to those men for whom
this summer camp marks the comple
tion of the reserve officers training
corps course. These men must have
graduated from a college or other
senior reserve officers training corps
institution and must have attained
their majority. Other men will count
the camp this summer as toward the
completion of their course, two camps
being required in addition to assigned
work at the schools.
Advanced Men Are Officers.
All advanced men in company H are
detailed as officers of the two battal
ions of cadets for tactical work this
week, taking the place of the army of
ficers now in command. Maneuvers
simulating combat conditions are on
the program for the week, the two
battalions opposing each other. Cadets
acting as officers will be rated by
numerous officers acting as umpires
and judges.
Each company of the reserve officers
training corps camp here has been the
guest of the reserve officers training
corps branch of the T. M. C. A. at an
evening dinner and programme given
in the "Y" headquarters on Powell
street in this city.
Oregon Agricultural college men
played some part in the programme of
the company H dinner held last week,
singing college songs and giving yells.
Representatives from other colleges
responded with songs and yells and no
email feature of the evening was the
presence of six University of Washing
ton girls, now attending summer ses
sion in Berkeley, who served the dinner
for the company and later helped with
the singing.
Allen McComb Makes Talk.
Lieutenant George L. Collins, offi
cial Y. M. C. A. secretary for the
reserve officers training corps acted
as toastmaster and called for
short talks by men from different
colleges and different parts of the
country. Allen W. McComb, Ore
gon Agricultural college student and
editor of the O. A. C. Barometer last
year, spoke of the value of the reserve
officers t.ttining corps toward making
better citiiens. M. C. Delzeli, student
in New Mexico Military institute, spoke
on the qualifications of an officer. H.
M- Griffiths, University of California
ntutlent, gave a short talk on college
activities.
Judge Curtis L. Wilbur, associate
justice of the California supreme court,
talked to the men on marksmanship
in the army and in life, concluding the
evening programme.
in senate acceptance of the treaty be
cause he believed it would be awkward
to ask Germany now to accept modi
fications of any sort.
Bfew State rd Support
Reasserting his desire for early rati
fication, Mr. Wilson is said to have ex
pressed the greatest concern over the
situation in Europe, especially with re
gard to the immediate future of the
new states like Poland and Czecho
slovakia, if some agency were not set
up soon to guarantee their integrity.
He is said to have mentioned as an
other cause for anxiety the coal short
age in the new free city of Danrig.
The president reached the capitol un
announced just as the senate was ad
journing, and. going to a private room
adjoining the chamber, sent a. messen
ger in search of Senator Hitchcock,
democrat, Nebraska, who has acted as
administration leader in the treaty
fight. Mr. Hitchcock was out of town,
but the president remained at the capi
tol for more than an hour and saw a
dozen democratic senators, including
Senators Swanson, Virginia; Pittman,
Nevada, and Pomerene, Ohio, of the
foreign relations committee.
Colombian Treaty Taken XT p.
Just before the president's arrival
the committee had finished its prelimi
nary reading of the Versailles treaty
and had laid it temporarily aside for
consideration tomorrow of the long
delayed treaty with Colombia.
Some members thought this could be
disposed of at tomorrow's session.
After that the committee will hear sev
eral of the experts who advised the
American delegation at Versailles.
In the senate today Senator Walsh,
democrat, Montana, delivered a pre
pared address in support of article X
and in reply to arguments that it
would handicap any movement for Irish
freedom.
Senator Williams, democrat, Missis
sippi, charged that the republicans had
attempted to make a political issue of
the president's course regarding the
special French treaty.
Considerable interest was aroused by
publication of a set of reservations
proposed by Charles Kvana Hughes in
a letter to Senator Hale, republican,
Maine, following in the main those
suggested some time ago by Klihu

In renewing- in the senate today his
chargre that the president had violated
the treaty's express provisions by
withholding it. Senator Brandegee,
Connecticut, a republican member of
the foreign relations committee, said
:Mr. 'Wilson had also treated it un
fairly if the treaties really were
"linked" together.
I do not care to take one link " said
Senator Brandegee. "and let some other
gentleman keep the other link in his
pocket if I am expected to judge how
the two are to fit together."
Trip May Be Delayed.
Mr. Vi!son also discussed other fea
tures of the treaty situation during
his visit to the capitol, and intimated
that his speaking trip might not be
tin as soon as had been expected.
Although it had been indicated he
would start from Washington about
August 5, lie is said to have told sena

There is a year for redemption.
Mr. Smith desires a lease on the large
mill up to the period of redemption and
he offers as compensation for the lease
the cost of operation plus 25 per cent.
The court was informed that material
can be produced and delivered at
Marshfield for $12 a thousand feet. The
market price of lumber is now much
higher than that and is still mounting,
the future of the lumber business being
bright. The $12 a thousand cost in

railroad to Powers to tap new timber
and it also includes the top price for
labor. J. H. Powers, who has spent a
lifetime in logging and the railroad end

told in detail the items taken into
consideration in making up the cost of
$12 per thousand at Marshfield.

ST. LOUIS. July 28. Thousands of
persons attended a- mass meeting here
tonight at which Senators James A.
Reed of Missouri, and Medill McCor
mick of Illinois denounced the league
of nations and opposed ratification of
the peace treaty in it3 present form.
Senator Iteed characterized the Shan
tung agreement a the "rape of China."
"By giving Japan a clear title to
20,000.000 Coreans and by giving her
dominiion over Shantung with 36.000,
0f"0 Chinamen, we have thus made this
tiger of the Orient so slimy and terri
ble that the strongest nations of the
world may have cause to tremble when
it shall show its vicious teeth," he de
clared.
Lracue Scheme to Rob I'nitrd Statu
"The covenant will permit foreign
nations to interfere with America's do
mestic affairs and force undesirable
immigration on this country." accord
ing to Senator McCormick, who declared
the league was a scheme of European
countries to rob the United States of
the right to regulate her protective
tanrr.
senator Reed asserted the reserva
tion guaranteeing the Monroe doctrine
was ineffectual, declared the promise
for self-determination for all peoples
was redeemed by the refusal to give
even the privilege of a hearing to ad
vocates of Irish freedom, and declared
the covenant set up a "league of power"
backed by armies and navies.
"England" the Missouri senator said,
'becomes under the treaty the mistress
of Africa and has gained other enor
mous advantages and possessions. The
moment the United States signs article
X of the covenant we agreed with our
army and navy to protect Oreat Britain
and her mighty possessions."
Former President Taft, Senator Reed
asserted, now admits that neither the
language of articles IV, X nor XV ex
clude England from "packing the coun
cil with her colonies."
Only Promise la for Fight."
The only promise of the covenant in
the opinion of Senator McCormick is
that it will send American boys to
fight in lands of which they have never
heard and before cities "the names of
which schoolboys learn only to forget."
"The Japanese have insisted on their
right to emigrate and if we exclude
them we shall be liable to boycott or
coercion by arms under article IV of the
covenant, the Illinois senator declared.
"In event Corea decides to war on
Japan for the .atrocious ravages she
has committed on her inhabitants, and
if China Joins Corea for the theft of
Shantung, the burial place of her heroes
and the first hone of her civilization,
we would be forced to send troops to
assist Japan crush those two unoffend
ing nations. This under article X.
"Our protective tariff laws are men
aced by this proposed pact. Under arti
cle XI, the section dealing with 'cir
cumstances affecting international re
lations, we couia De coerces to fix our
tariff to suit Europe and Asia with

would not pay employes who went with
the national guard to th Mexican
border; would not hold their positions
open nor care for their dependents. He
testified that he received the informa
tion over the telephone from Mr
Klingensmith. Dunnewind, who In ISIS
was a reporter, testified that Mr.
Klingensmith told him he could aee no
reason for taking an interest In men
who severed their relations with the
motor company. Mr. Irwin's was to the
effect that Mr. Klingensmith had said
the company had not determined what
policy to pursu. Connors' was a wit
ness for the plaintiff and said Mr.
Klingensmith had informed him that
the guardsmen would be treated ac
cording to the customary policy of the
company.
Mr. Klingensmith said he did not
recall a single one of tte conversa
tions except that of Williams.
Attorney Alfred Lucking, for Mr.
Ford, stated that no testimony would
be offered to rebut that of many
Tribun- witnesses on the situation
along the Mexican border in 191. Ilex
F. Glasson. city editor of the Detroit
Journal, took the stand and Identified
an interview with Mr. Ford. He waa
the final witness for the defense.
A deposition by Edward Marshall was
the first evidence Introuced by the
plaintiff. Objection by Elliott!. Steven-
son, senior counsel for the Tribune, that
Mr. Ford had admitted the correctness
of all but one item in the article was
not sustained. Mr. Marshall deposed
that it was Miss Jane Addams of Chi
cago who first said to him that "the
word murderer should be embroidered
on the breast of every soldier."
"Miss Addams made this remark
when I called on her with Norman
Hapgood," said Marshall. "1 repeated
It to Mr. Ford and he said yes. " In
Marshall's article the statement ap
peared as a direct quotation from Mr.
Ford.
