SPLIT ON INDEMNITIES
Teuton Chancellor and Associates
Ready to Refuse Demands
They Consider Unjust.
SPA. Belgium. July 4. (By the
Associated Press.) The allied and
German prime ministers are here to
meet each other for direct negotia
tions for the first time since the
Versailles treaty was signed.
The probability of reaching an
agreement on the total sum of repa
rations Germany is to pay appears
slight. The allied premiers will com
municate their collective decisions to
Konstantin Fehrenbach. the German
chancellor. He and his associates
affirm they are prepared to refuse
demands which they consider beyond
Germany's strength to meet.
Herr Fehrenbach said tonight that
he had nothing to add to his declara
tions to the German parliament until
after he had met the allied ministers, i
Germany's resources and capacity to
pay, he declared, were set forth in
the memorandum given to the prin
cipal allied governments.
The conviction of the German dele
gation as derived from another Ger
man source is that, taking the mini
mum unofficial reports of the equiva
lent of $20,000,000,000 with interest
or the maximum of $30,000,000,00
Germany will not agree to pay even
half the lowest sum.
Herr Fehrenbach was accompanied
here by a score of high functionaries,
40 experts and secretaries.
After being photographed Herr
Fehrenbach motored with M. Rolin
Jacquemyns to the Villa des Sour
biers. The remainder of the delega
tion went to the Annette hotel.
Of the allied delegations which ar
rived the British came first, the Bel
gians second and the French third.

tor Hiding, the republican candidate

reached here tonight from Cumber

Robert W. Parkinson Jr., an attorney,
and at Wheeling, W. Va. Senator
Harding was recognized repeatedly in
the towns through which he passed.
As the senator left his hotel at
Cumberland, Md., toresume his jour

to hotel employes as tips, a crowM
gathered to shake hands with him.
"I'm for you, senator, but I can't
vote yet," exclaimed one woman, as
she grasped his hand.
"1 am inclined to think you will,"
responded Senator Harding.
At Wheeling several friends met
him on the outskirts and escorted him
to a local hotel, where an informal re
ception was held lasting nearly 30
minutes.
It was nearly dark when he reached
Zancsville and but few persons knew
of his arrival as announcement had
not been made of his plan to spend
the night here.
Senator Harding indicated tonight
that one of the first campaign
speeches to be made by him away
from home would likely be delivered
at St. Louis, Mo. He said he had been
asked to lay the cornerstone there

devotion we owe the deepest debt of
gratitude and It is to them that we
look for constant inspiration that our
efforts to maintain forever a country

WASHINGTON, July 4. By the
Associated Press.) Japan has decided
to occupy such points of the province
of Saghalien, Siberia, as it deemsj
necessary pending the establishment
there of a legitimate government and
a satisfactory settlement for the
massacre of 700 Japanese at Niko-
laievsk.
The government's decision was pub
lished yesterday in the Official Ga
zette at Tokio and at the same time
announced by Premier Hara in his
address at the opening of the special
session of the Imperial diet. The
premier also announced that Japanese
troops would be withdrawn immedi
ately from those districts of Siberia
where their presence no longer was
needed.
JapaneS3 troops will not be with
drawn from the Vladivostok region,
however, the government holding that
this stands on a different footing be
cause Korea can be menaced from this
direction. Many Japanese live there
and Harbarovsk, within the region
constitutes a point of strategic im
portance on the way to Saghalien.

MARSHFIELD. Or.. July 4. (Spe
cial.) "Oregon was robned of her
finest traditions in the world, war, of
her rightful place in the sun. Thou
sands of her sons were scattered to
the four winds in France to fight
among strangers and hundreds gave
their lives under the standards of
New England, Michigan and the regu
lar army. All because someone blun
dered." This charge was hurled at the
American, high command in France to
day by George A. White, adjutant
general of the state of Oregon, in an
address at the Independence day cele
bration which marked the formal ded
ication of the Marshfield armory.
Denouncing the replacement sys
tem as a blunder tnat caused the
breaking up of the 41st infantry di
vision in which the third Oregon. Ore
gon cavalry, artillery and engineers
went overseas. Colonel White said
it was one of the penalties Oregon
had to pay for the almost total lack
of preparedness preceding the war.
Oregon Record Secure.
"Oregon's part in ending the Hbhen
zollern dynasty is secure," the speak
er said. "Oregon hit organized autoc
racy a death blow and the courage
of Oregon's men could not be hidden
even when they were scattered to the
four winds fighting under the ban
ners ot eastern states and the regular
army. Oregon was cited in army or
ders by Lieutenant-General Liggett
in the Meuse-Argonne when there
was not a distinctly Oregon unit left
intact on the line.
"It was. the quality of the Oregon
men, the quality of their manhood and
courage, fighting as small groups and
individuals, that won that recogni
tion. But think of the rightful glory
that would be Oregon's had her sons
hit in one great division. Think of
the comfort of these men had they
fought shoulder to shoulder with
their friends and fellow townsmen.
Think of the comfort to the wounded
and dying had they been among their
own friends and neighbors with whom
they went overseas. And then think
that all that was . prevented simply
because of a mistaken military policy,
because someone blundered."
Universal Training Desired.
The speaker described as construc
tive patriotism the action of the peo
ple of Marshfield and Coos county in
dedicating an armory on the Fourth
of July, urging that they continue to
back up the citizen soldiers of the
community who were preparing them
selves for possible service. At the
same time, he said, congress had
failed utterly to give the country
constructive military policy based on
the lessons learned through the world
war.
"It is only through a system of uni-
versail training, a system that places
equally upon the entire young man
nooa or the land the burden of na
tional defense, that we can ever hope
to una real security, tie said, adding
that perhaps congress had been pre
vented from taking this action be
cause of the autocratic spirit shown
by the professional army class in the
war.
Armj Mast be Democratised.
"The army must be democratized."
Colonel White declared. The ma
jority of the four million men who
served in the war returned to their
home dissatisfied with the spirit of
the command. This country will
never yield to militarism, to that
autocratic spirit which was rampant
throughout the war. Our professional
officers have got to bring themselves
in tune with the spirit of the country
before tnv are to be entrusted with
universal training. This is goins to
be accomplished, for the army now
realizes this fact.
"It remains for every citizen to take
something more than a passing In
terest in things military. Tii.j day
may come again, we all pray not.
