EARLY AGREEMENT ASKED Former Prime Minister Expresses Faith in Honesty or America in Modifying Treaty. BY JAMES M. TUOHY- fOmvriirht bv the New York World. Pub ltKhfi bv Arrangement.) PARIS. Feb. . (Special Cable.) There is no doubt of the powerful e feet Viscount Grey's letter has exer cised in the highest and most infju ential circles of France. Striking proof of this is to be found in the following statement given to the World by Senator Alexandre Ribot, one of France's most distinguished and responsible cider statesmen, yrh has been twice prime minister, as well as filling other most important of fices of state. Rihot says: "I share the views advanced by Lord Grey In his letter. The moral force of the treaty with Germany runs more risk of diminution by prolong ing discussion regarding the proposed reservations than by thos reserva- tions themselves. Time Held Important. "Under the actual conditions, every day lost prejudices the cause of gen eral peace and compromises the in terest of nations that do not want' to be dragged against their will into new coin nets, x naturally place in United States of America in the first rank of these nations. 'By intervening in the war in deliberate and spontaneous manner. and by contributing with decisive ef feet to the triumph of right, the American people have assumed liabil ities to themselves as well as to their associates and their honor and their consciousness of the importance ot their role oblige them to fulfill even outside of any written stipulation of me treaty. Faith In V. S. Not Shaken. "That their representatives make reservations to maintain in its full in tegrity the incontestabe right of the American senate to be closely asso ciated with the execution of a treaty would only disquiet us if we had any reason to doubt the American people's will to remain faithful to the thought which never ceased to inspire them during the war, and which it is their pride to keep intact through all the incidents of political complications. "It is not for me to discuss the terms of agreement which may be arrived at between the parties in the American senate to insure prompt ratification of the treaty. A quick agreement is the essential point. "If victors of yesterday continue weakening their victory, to what a severe verdict of history they are ear posing themselves.'

(Special.) The Pacific highway in Douglas county is in fairly good condition be tween Oakland and Canyonville, but from Oakland to Yoncalla and from Canyonville on to the southern county border are two stretches that are to be shunned by auto owners. A good driver can get over the southern por tion and several autos have made it through without assistance. W. K. Wright, former assistant state high way engineer, residing atN Grants Pass, made the trip, but says he will not advise anyone out for a pleasure trip to try it. To the north, between Oakland and Yoncalla, the roads are all but im passable. The chief reason for the present condition is that -the grade was only made last summer and the surface was not sufficiently rocked to hold up the traffic during the wet season.

The decenl nial census, now being taken, will reveal that the center of population of the United States has moved eastward and not toward the west or the south, as commonly predicted. J. A. Hill, statistician of the United States census bureau, predicted last night in an address at the National Press club. The 1910 census showed the center of population to be in Bloomington, Ind., and in 1900 the center was some 50 miles eastward, or near Columbus, of the same state. After-the-war movement to the eastern cities, together with the war-time growth of the eastern in dustrial centers, the statistician says have more than counteracted the normal westward movement of population. n' n New Show Today As beautiful as the gems she stole CORINNE GRIFFITH In "The Tower of Jewels" She could crack any safe made The marvelous GILDO on his great piano accordian and DOW BRINK singing his latest syncopated melodies UNVACCINATED WIN POINT flillr1rn F!Yf!iinVri From School fori Non-Vaccination Go Elsewhere.
