that both Hohenzollerns have been in
almost constant communication with
Berlin ever since the armistice.
Visitors to them have come from
Berlin and gone there practically at
will. Members of their households
have traveled back and forth between
Berlin and Holland and it is even said
that letters and telegrams have been
exchanged freely with Von Hinden
bum Ludendorff and other members
of the old regime. No one familiar
with the present surrounding of the
Hohenzollerns and the laxity of their
Dutch guard doubts for a moment
that either the former kaiser and the
former crown prince could re-enter
Berlin at any time he might desire
without interference by the Dutch.
'The ex-crowd prince has often
boasted that he expected to return to
Berlin as soon as the "reactionaries,"
Ebert and his party, were ousted, and
no one who knows the situation in
Holland would be surprised to hear
any day that the former crown prince
is sate In Berlin.

PHONE OPERATORS MEET
President of Union Urges Greater
Enthusiasm for Organization. x
Portland telephone operators were
criticised last night by Julia S. O'Con
ner, national president of the oper
ators' union, because they failed to
maintain their organization at the
same strength it attained during last
summer's strike. Miss O'Conner, who
is from New York and Is making a
tour of the coast, spoke before a small
gathering of the girls in W. O. W.
hall, urging them to reorganize at
once.
The speaker traced the evolution of
the 10-cent raise of a few years ago
to the present 32 or $3 one, but com
plained that the telephone company
has taken credit for this reform. In
fact, she said, that every time it
learns of an act contemplated by the
union it changes things for the better
to cover up any spirit of unrest and
prevent more operators from organizing.

LONDON, March 15. (By the As-

new ambassador to the United States.
attacked" newspapers which stir up
Anglo-American irritation at a dinner
given in his honor tonight.
"It is an essential condition of the
working of the magic of peace, so
necessary to save civilization," he
said, "that the two great English-
speaking communities should sail for
ward in mutual respect and under
standing to the uncharted seas of the
future.
"To labor to secure that mutual re
spect and understanding is a man's
work, and I am not insensible of the
high privilege, which it is, to have
been given a chance of so serving this
day and generation."
Work for Peace Advocated.
Expressing the wish that "some
word might here be spoken which
would hasten development of an un
derstanding of the problems and dif
ficulties of Great Britain by America
and the difficulties and problems of
America by Great Britain." the
ambassador said: "It docs not help
to respect or understand to 'cry
peace' where there Is no peace, or
love and trust If Tove be cold and
trust worn thin. I hope and believe
that this is not the case with any
considerable section of either of the
great English-speaking communities.
"But it would be criminal madness
not to recognize that there are
pamphlets printed and dally and
weekly papers published, which dis
semble love and conceal trust so
thoroughly that one is forced to be
lieve there Is neither love to dis
semble nor trust to conceal in the
minds of the workers.
Charges by V. 8. Resented.
" There is nothing I regret siore
than to read in some American
papers an article accusing this
country of quite Tlnpossiblo villainy,
unless it be to read in some British
paper the article reversed. It is so
fatally easy to criticise, particularly
at a time like this, when human
thought is boi'ing.
"Let us remember that it is quite
impossible for two peoples to see
every question from the same angle.
But let us stick fast to, let us keep
a firm hold upon the big things his
tory has to teach usi that somehow
both peoples have driven the furrow
straight and true and most astonish

tivate civilization.
