PARIS. Oct. 13. Following Is the
text of the note sent to the German
government by the allied and associ
ated powers regarding the evacuation
of the Baltic provinces:
"The allied and associated govern
ments note "the formally expressed
pretensions of the German govern
ment note of October 3 to under
take and to pursue in a most ener
getic manner the withdrawal of its
troops from the Baltic regions and
Lithuania.
nejr also consider as opportune
the measures decided upon by the
German government for that purpose.
Xegleel Is Allege.
"But when the German government
contend that action they have taken
must absolve them from the charge
of having neglected to fulfil their
honorable obligations under the arm!
st ice. it is necessary to point out that
the orders of the German government
have, notwithstanding repeated de
mands and remonstrances on the part
i me allied and associated govern
menu, been so long delayed, that the
Oerman government now claims to be
practically powerless to enforce them.
"It is difficult not to believe that
their delay has been designed, calcu
lated as it was to lead to the very
results which the German government
now affect to deplore. It seems In
deed Impossible otherwise to explain
their refusal to recall General von der
Goltz. who has been their official in
strument in creating the present situ
ation in open defiance cf the repre
sentations of the allied and associated
governments.
Explanation Is Asked.
"Why was the German recall, thrice
demanded, refused? Why was he
(Von der Goltx) after being sum
moned to Berlin only recently, sent
back deliberately to the scene of his
atrocities, except to complete under
order of his office the organization
which now affords to the German
government the pretext that the
troops hitherto paid, clothed and
transported by them, have passed out
of their control?
"Has General von der Golts acted
contrary to their instructions? If so.
why has not his insubordination been
punished, either by formal dismissal
or in any other way?
"Unless some very much more satis
factory explanations of these matters
than those hitherto afforded are given
by the German government, the al
lied and associated governments can
not admit the contention that the Ger
man government have, as they assert.
continually made the most energetic
efforts to withdraw the German
troops from the Baltic states.
Cermaa Offensive Scored.
"According to recent Information
received from Let via, the situation
has suddenly become more grave on
account of the offensive taken by
German troops on October 8. Other
troops have oeen violating the Cour-Isrd-Lettixh
neutral zone and have
bombarded Lettish- positions by ar
mored trains, by airships and by poi
son gas shell. They have threatened
the city of Riga and brought about
the formation in Courland of a Ger-mrn-Russian
government opposed to
the loyal government already estab
lished. "In view of this situation the allied
and associated governments maintain
the principle of the full responsibility
of the German government in the car
rying out of the evacuation of the
region and they mean to maintain the
integrity of the coercive measures an
nounced In their telegram of Septem
ber 27 as long as the evacuation has
not been undertaken and pursued with
all desirable celerity. However, for
the purpose of encouraging the exe
cution of the operation and the lend
ing of assistance to the German gov
ernment, the allied and associated
governments expect to send allied rep
resentatives whose mission should
consist of (a) receiving from the Ger
man government information regard
ing measures decided upon by it. as
well as in proposing measures which
the mission itself may deem advisable;
(b) in exercising on the spot and with
all power of action, effective control
of the execution or saia measures.
The chairmanship of this allied com
mission should be vested in the gen
eral office appointed by the allied
and associated governments. Only
when that general office has Informed
the supreme counc'l of the allied and
associated governments that opera
tions for evacuation are progressclng
normally, can the stopping of meas
ures provided for by the telegram of
September 31 be considered. The Ger
man government is asked kindly to
send its answer as soon as possible.
"The allied and associated govern
ments hereby notify the German gov
ernment that they will hold it re
sponsible for any acts of hostility by
German troops directed sgainst their
representatives In the Baltic provinces."
Strong- Influence on South

DETROIT. Oct 12. Breach of unity,
possibly amounting to schism In th
body of the Protestant Episcopal
church In America, may result if fur
ther attempt to revise the prayer
book Is made in the present triennial
general convention, according to
opinion expressed by many leading
churchmen attending.
There Is noted a distinct lining up
of delegates In the house of deputies
for and against revision, with the
controversy centering about the atti
tude of the delegations from the three
Virginia dioceses. Both clerical and
lay delegates from Virginia have
made plain their determination to
"fight to the last ditch" against fur
ther revision of the devotional serv
ice and. it is said, their stand Is hav
ing strong influence on other south
ero sections.
Ihe nation-wide campaign to fl
nance church extension work and
maintain present activities the next
three years by raising from $55,000.-
000 to 1100.000.000 or more, was out
lined to convention delegates and
mf-mhertt Innlrht.
James Pershing of Denver. Colo.,
cousin of General Pershing, was one
of the speakers. -
The plan of expansion at home and
abroad is to be laid before the gen
eral convention today. It Includes
Americanization work among Immi
grants, for which It is proposed to
spend more than 11,630.000, and the
expenditure of t2.000.000 In religious
education and 3600,000 in increased

BOYS HEDING FOR SEA
SCORES OF PORTLAND YOUTHS
ENLISTING IX NAVY.
Large Numbers Needed by Uncle
Sam Now; Many Ships of Fleet
Far Short of Men.
Blow, ye winds, heigh-ho!
A-rovlng we will go, say scores of
Portland youth who have enlisted for
life on the ocean wave or rather for
a two or three-year hitch in the
United States navy. Figures at the
local navy recruiting office show that
four times as many men are enlisting
for service at present as were being
signed up six months ago.
The Portland office is out for men.
With half the navy on the Pacific and
with many ships in harbors so lacking
in personnel that they cannot leave
port, a big campaign is being carried
on all over the country to man the
nation's sea force.
Discharge of "period of emergency"
men after the American expeditionary
forces was well on the way home out
the navy's personnel from 507.000 to
70.000. The immense navy of warships
and auxiliary ships now is in need of
crews. The present campaign is to
be stimulated by the showing in prin
cipal ports of naval vessels of all
types in the expectation that the men
who want to know about the navy can
find out about it as the ships make
their cruises.
The Portland office Is in charge of
Lieutenant Fred K. Elder, recently
assigned here. At present Portland
leads Seattle in recruiting, though the
sound port has been signing up great
numbers of men since the visit of the
Pacific fleet.
TRIP DRAWS SPOTLIGHT
Presidential Possibilities Sidetrack
Anti-League Campaign, In
Opinion of Onlookers.
In the backwash of Senator Hiram
W. Johnson's visit to Portland Tues
day is the gossip concerning his presi
dential aspirations. It has been said
that behind the senator's trip through
the west attacking President Wilson's
league of nations programme was
campaign propaganda. In other words.
that Senator Johnson is using me
league of nations as a means of put
tin if himself before the people for
whatever advantage It may bring him
when the republican candidate for
president is nominated next year.
Since Senator Johnson's departure
from the Rose city, his discussion of
the league and his views on that sub
ject have been relegated to second
place In political circles by lam oi
Johnson's prospects for the nomina
tion. In short, the senator is more
talked of in the light of his candi
dacy than of his league of nation
ideas.
Name Goes ea Ballot.
One thing Is a foregone conclusion
as an aftermath of the senator's visit:
his name will appear on the presi
dential preferential primary ballot
next spring. Of course, before the
national convention meets, and per
haps before the primaries, the league
of nations Issue may be a closed in
cident, in which event some of the
men who are now saying they want
to be delegates to the republican na
tional convention as Johnson men.
may change their minds.
While in the city. Senator Johnson
did not speak of his presidential
boomlet. He was asked about it in
the course of interviews, but refused
to add anything to the subject. Neither
did he mention his ambition to mem
bers of the reception committee who
associated with him throughout the
day, from the time he stepped from
the train in the morning until he
boarded the train at night for Puget
sound.
There were men on the reception
committee, however, who are now ar-
ent and Enthusiastic workers in the
Johnson-for-President club. Among
hese, possibly, will be formed the of
ficial custodians of the Johnson boom
In Oregon.
Others Explain Presence.
Others on the reception committee
say that they have no intention of
upporttng Johnson, and simply acted
on the committee because the visitor
was a member of the republican party
and a member of the United States
senate.
Before his address at the audi
torium there was scarcely a trace of
the Johnson boom in this state. Agents
of .the movement had been in Oregon,
coming from California, but had made
light headway. In the auditorium
were several thousand people who are
opposed to the league of nations,
some opposed with or without reser
vations, and as the senator expressed
their sentiments, they felt kindly to
him and his political ambitions. And
via the' league of nations route.
the peace of the world, but we have
found that problem much more com
plicated than we had . anticipated,"
said Mr. Coleman. "Now we have to
acknowledge that peace has not come
yet and that we first have to estab
lish an organization for bringing
peace about. Justice has not been
done and cannot be done by any man
or group of men within a few short
months. Justice to all who suffered
in the war will be the work of years
and will require the wisdom and ener
gy of generations. The world faces,
as it never has before, the necessity
of international co-operation."
In discussing some of the obstacles
which stand in the way of better na
tional relationships the speaker placed
first and foremost the lack of un
derstanding of the people of one na
tion for another, and then explained
what in his opinion the 2,000,000
American soldiers who had lived in
France thought and understood of
that nation.
Four general faults were found by
the American soldiers in general in
the French people, he said. The
American boys found the French
grasping, liable to overcharge; they
found them unsanitary; they found
them slow; they found fault with
their treatment of women.
But the American soldiers often did
not have, a sympathetic attitude in
judging the French, he said, and they
often formed opinions of the people
as a whole based on knowledge of
but a small section of the country.

Bolshevist Doctrine Blamed for
New Theory Advanced In Recent
Note to Great Britain.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 13. Insistence
by the Mexican government on the
theory advanced in a recent note to
Great Britain that "the modern con
cept of property regards it as a social
function" has aroused opposition in
the Mexican congress to further leg
islation by presidential decree, accord
ing to advices by official channels.
The British government had protested
that certain Carranza decrees , were
confiscatory. i
An abstract from a Mexico City pa
per declares "Mexico always had rec
ognized in common with other coun
tries the definitive and irrevocable
character" of property "before the
bolshevist doctrine appeared in our
midst, even in government circles."
"It is not true," the article says,
"that the modern concept of property
regards it as a 'social function'; ex
cept in the Russia of Lenine and
Trotzky, and we know of no nation
that has been 'modernized' under the
programme of socialization of private
property.
"Neither the British government nor
the American government nor the
government of France nor of any
other country on earth can accept
such 'a theory. This doctrine excludes
us from the family of nations."

Workers at Agricultural Experi
ment Stations Said to Have
Achieved Great Results.
SEATTLE, Wash., Oct 11. (Spe
cial.) Perfection by government agri
culturists of species of wheat and
barley adaptable to the Alaskan cli
mate has made available as a great
grain-growing region a tract of more
than 60,000 square miles along the
Yukon, according to John Rustgard,
former United States district attor
ney at Juneau, who arrived In Seattle
Sunday. Mr. Rustgard declared that
araaxing results had been achieved
by workers at the agricultural ex-1
perlment stations established in Alas-1
ka by the federal government.
"Varieties of wheat and barley that
ripen before frost, which usually
comes about August 15 In the Yukon
region, have been perfected." he said.
And some of these are said by ex
perts to be superior to grain now
grown in the United States and Can
ada. The grain is harder and the
ears larger. Some of the new varie
ties grown in Alaska have yielded
an average of 45 bushels to the acre.
This work has been done with a view
to opening up Alaska as a great
grain-producing country at experi
ment stations In Fairbanks, Circle
City, Sitka and elsewhere. The great
tract of country thus made available
for wheat and barley culture now
awaits the coming of hardy pioneers."
In addition to the 50,000 square
miles of available wheat - growing
land along the Yukon operated by
government experts. Mr. Rustgard
id there was about an equal area
suitable for pasturing. "It will be
hard work for the pioneers, but I am
convinced that the region is going to
be developed as one of the world's
great granaries," he concluded.
