CABLE CONFERENCE
IS
Five. Allied Powers to Corv
,L, tinue Negotiations.
BASIS NOT FULLY KNOWN
Agreement to Attempt Solution Be
fore Adjournment Reported.
Japanese Stand Is Issue.
WASHINGTON'. Tec. 12. By theJ
Associated Press.) Differences oVer
the disposition of the former German
cables which have threatened to break
up the international communications
conference, in session here, were tem
porarily smoothed over today at a
plenary session at the state depart
ment. Negotiations between the five allied
and associated powers represented in
the conference will be continued.
The basis for prospects of agree
ment was not fully disclosed and it
only became known that threatened
disruption had been averted through
cancellation of railroad and steam
ship reservations by' foreign delegates
who had planned to leave Washing
ton for New York and San Francisco
tonight to take their departure home.
Session to Be Held Today. ,
Another plenary session will be
held-tomorrow in the effort to reach
a settlement. Plenary sess'ons last
night and today were understood o
have developed at least a better, un
derstanding and an agreement that
a solution should be attempted be
fore adjournment.
The results of these latest confer
ences meanwhile will be transmitted
by the foreign delegations to their
governments "with requests for in
structions. The- chancellories of
Great Britan, France, Italy and Japan
were understood to have become con
cerned over failure to reach an am
iable agreement as to disposition of
-lie cables.
Equality Principal
The outstanding difficulties were
understood to be the refusal of the
'apanese to concede the principle of
quality of all nations in cable land
ng rights on the island of Yap, in
ne Pacific and the refusal of the
'rench to make concessions to "the
'nited States and Italy of the German
rans-Atlantic cable seized by the
' '"rench in 1914 and diverted from
Jmden, Germany, to Brest, France.
The United States, together with
Treat Britain and Italy, have argued
for the internationalization of all
;Slands like Yap upon whicn cable
communications of more than one
nation are dependent. Japan was un
derstood to have contended that Yap
was awarded her without restrictions
by the mandate given her by the
Paris peace conference over ex-German
Islands north of the equator and
that the establishment of even the
principle of equal cable landing rights
at Yap would be contrary to Jap
anese law.
Trans-Atlantic Cable Songrht.
The United States and Italy have
isked for the ex-German trans-At-mtic
cable now in possession of the
rench, in order that it may be re
- id between New York and Genoa,
ily.
They have supported their claim
. :th the contention that while neither
'.ily nor the United States obtained
y of the German cables, France
jw has in her possession, not only
e trans-Atlantic lines, but also sev
al of the ex-German systems skirt-
:g the African coast.
The delegates were understood to
ive approved the work of the tech
cal sub-committess, charged with
afting provisions of international
w governing the use of cables, ra-
0 and telegraph and the framing of
1 amalgamated telegraph and radio
invention. These reports are ex
acted to be submitted to the world
" .ngress on communications next
. jar in Europe.

Gift of Whisky Brings
Many Visitors.
Small Hem In The Orrgonlan Is
Apparently ' Well Read.
A N important, although short, item
X cannot be so deeply "buried,"
even in a big paper like The Sunder
Oregonian, but that the multitude will
eearch it out.
This great truth was again demon
strated yesterday, when a news item
not to exceed 200 words was published
in The Oregonian under a small head,
announcing that Dr. Henry Waldo
Zoe, proprietor of the Morningside
sanitarium near Portland, had re
ceived from the government 200 gal
lons of high-proof bonded whisky.
Although the weather was not all
that might be asked for, bright and
early yesterday "morning and during
the afternoon and evening, .too, for
that matter the roads leading to the
sanitarium were thick with automo
biles, and before Dr. Coe was out of
bed he had a. waiting list.
Of course, none of the callers were
there because they had read the item
i BREACH
AVOIDED
about the 200 'gallons of honest-to-goodness
whisky far be It from such
but they were there. Dr. Coe said
last night that he could not. under
stand why he had so suddenly become
thus popular until one of the early
callers, rousing him from slumber be
fore church-going- -time, accidentally
let the provybial e.t out of the bag.
"I envy you," said the caller.
"How so?" queried the doctor.
"Why, I feee by The Oregonlan the
government gave you 200 gallons of
whisky. Say, ye ain't got a drop fer
a feller, have ye?"
"By George, old man," replied Dr.
Coe, almost weeping, "you know that
whisky Is a life-saver? Yes, sir a
life-saver!- I have 225 old fellows
here in this sanitarium and, do you
know, their greatest glimpse of real
happiness is when they get a swig of
that mellow stuff?"
The caller was about to shed tears,
but Dr. Coe reassured him and also
"knocked him dead," as the boys say
nowadays, by making this final state
ment: "You see, that whisky is top pre
cious to take any chances with. Too
many burglaries - these times, you
know, so to be sure it didn't disap
pear, thereby tearing at the very
heartstrings, of these old men here, I
decided to put it in a safe deposit
and even I couldn't get into that-vault
before Monday morning, for it's
locked." '
That was the story Dr. Coe told
them all day long. And. they went
away sorrowing.
1040 ATTEND CONCERT
FIXE MCSICAI; PROGRAMME
GIVEX AT AUDITORIUM.
Mignon Chorus and Dixie Quartet,
Local Organizations, Please
in First Public Efforts.
The number of paid admissions reg
istered yesterday afternoon at "the
public auditorium concert was 1040,
the fine music programme being in
charge of the Mignon chorus of
women's voices and the Dixie quar
tet of mixed voices, both directed,'
with marked ability, by Mrs. Ella
Hoberg Tripp; and pipe organ solos
by Lucien E. Becker. Francis Richter
was to have been organist, yesterday,
but family affiliction interfered. His
father, Frederick W. Richter, - died
suddenly.
It was an unlooked-for, pleasant
surprise -to hear Mrs. Tripp's two
vocal organizations in song rendition
the Mignon chorus and Dixie quar
tet, hardly known in this city. Both
ciubs have been rehearsing for some
time, but hxve kept quiet about it.
The Mignon chorus sang with 32
young women's voices, in unaccom
panied and accompanied music, and in
splendid fashion. It is a club of
talented amateurs who sing for the
love of song, who have high music
ideals and express , them, vocally.
The expression, diction and tone
quality are all that can be desired.
"Drink to Me Only With Thine
Eyes" and ""Absent" will gratefully
linger in one's memory. Two so
prano soloists of the chorus, Delia
Payne and Berth'a Ellingbo. sang
finely ana exhibited clear, pleasant-to-hear
voices.
The Dixie quartet, consisting of
Ella Hoberg Tripp, soprano; Jessie II.
Hammond, contralto; Gilbert H. Char
ters, tenor, and Earl H. Abbett, bari
tone, have all good voices and sang
with much success, especially in the
"Sextet" (in quartet form) from
"Lucia." Mr. Charters has a pure,
fine tenor voice of excellent quality.
Mrs. Tripp has also a good voice.
Both clubs were cordially applauded,
and extra numbers demanded, but
Mrs. Tripp bowed her acknowledg
ments. Mr. Becker played with fine suc
cess these organ Clumbers: ."Over
ture" from "William Tell"; "Gavotte,"
improvization from "Mignon"; "Holy
Night"; "Pilgrim's Chorus," from
"Tannhauser"; "Traumerei" (Schu
mann), and "Grand March" from
"Aida." Mr. Becker also was ccrdially
applauded, and thanked for his kind
ness in playing at such short notice.
AMERICAN FILMS BANNED
Germans Take Action to Halt Pop
ularity of Motion Picture.
BERLIN, Dee. 12. The war of Ger
man film producers against produc
tion of American-made motion pier
tures, which have been smuggled into
Germany since the armistice, was yes
terday carried before the minister of
finance and economics who, on the re
quest of the German concerns, di
rected police to prevent further ex
hibitions.
The American picturs proved so
popular in the provinces that the Ger
man producers complained they vir
tually were unable to sell their prod
ucts. Moving picture houses have
been featuring sensational wild west
films and cowpunchers, cowgirls and
Indians proved prime favorites with
German moving picture patrons.

mittee they will no longer abide bv

The principal reason given for with

JAPANESE TENSION
WATCHED BY BERLIN

HARDEN CHANGES . VIEWS
Bolshevik! Declared to Be ExploH-ing-
Vanderlip to Iimit as
Trouble-Making Factor. I
BY CECIL BROWN.
(Copyright by the New Yerk World. Pub
lished by Arrangement.)
BERLIN, Dec. 12. (Special Cable.)
For the last 24 hours cabledTreports
of increasing American-Japanese ten
sion have eclipsed all else in'the Ger
man news In popular interest. Most
papers feature the controversy under
the headlines "The American-Japanese
Orisis" or variations on the fa
vorite German theme of impending
conflict between the two countries.
The World correspondent overheard
three German busine.sst men comment
ing on an article in the Berlin Gazette
headed "Tension between America and
Japan." One of them said: "They will
keep on talking about war until it
really happens, the same as with us,"
and his friends agreed with him;
Hugo Stinnes' organ, the Deutsche
Allegemeine Zeitung, expresses the
opinion that W. B. Vanderlip's Kam
chatka concessions have served to
aggravate the differences over Im
migration and -the Island of Yap cable
questions, saying: "America's move
in Siberia and Kamchatka have nat
urally produced a very disquieting
effect In Japan, and Lenine's dec
larations surely will not contribute
to the relief of the existing tension
Japan will not want to wait so long
that America will have created eco
nomic and military bases on coasts
near Japan. -
Rcda Exploit Vanderllp.
That the bolshevikl are exploiting
Vanderlip to the limit as a trouble
making factor is apparent from still
another Lenine speech printed in the
Moscow Pravda, the official organ of
the soviet government. According to
a reliable extract of the Pravda re
port, telegraphed from Helsingfovs
yesterday, Lenine received Ameriej.i
socialists and told them: "The Amer
ican representative openly admitted
that in the event of a war with Japan
the United States would need a base
in eastern Asia, and he gave- us to
understand that if we sold Kam
chatka to America, America w'ould
recognize the soviet government. The
Kamchatka treaty has not yet been
signed, but the soviet government is
prepared to meet the United States
half way, and the more acute rela
tions between the United States and
Japan become, the better will be Rus
sia's prospects."
The bolshevikl appear pleased with
their propaganda1 results so far. The
Berlin communist organ. The Note
Fahne, rejoices that "Agreements be
tween Vanderlip and the soviet gov
ernment are already bearing their
political fruit and quotes a Washing
ton dispatch to the Paris Temps to
the effect that Japan would sharply
oppose concessions in Kamchatka and
northerm Siberia.
- Harden Changes Opinion.
. It is surprising to note Maximilian
Harden suddenly changing his opin
ion about conflict between America
and Japan, which he has heretofore
consistently pooh-poohed as a favorite
deduction of the. German mentality.
Arguing from the premise that Am
erica has changed from predominant
ly agricultural to a predominantly in
dustrial state, and that such a condi
tion, if of long duration, would bring
to a head the economic crisis already
begun. Harden says: "The yield of
American agriculture no longer suf
fices. T'ft United States must Im
port additional foodstuffs and needs
great foreign" markets for its surplus
of manufactured articles unabsorb
able at home. Behind America stalks
the industrial state of Japan with
similar import and export needs.
'The status of both America and
Japan is approximating that of Great
Britain. Only these three nations
have strong fleets, .and they alone
are therefore able to wage a world
struggle. - They cannot for long avoid
the choice between -a mutual under
standing and figiitlng. .
' World Picture Changed.
Tfi e main features of the World
picture have changed and vanished is
our dream that North America would
feed tHe world, while Europe places
its industry and trade on their
healthy feet again, and agree to ac
cept manufactures in payment."
The usually sober, democratic Ber
lin Bourse Courier has a pessimistic
vision of an economic struggle be
tween America and' England ending
n a new world ws.r. The Bourse or
gan argues that the recently passed
measure to protect Britain s aniline 1
dye industry is merely an overture to
a series of British.-. protective meas
ures, and while they may be ostensi
bly aimed at Germany they are really
meant for America. It continues: De
termined Great .Britain now enters
upon an economic duel with the new
world. It is girding up the loins of
its mighty- economic body with tariff
boundaries and will begin the com
bat with America when the time for
an open challenge comes. The end
of this protectionists world move
ment will be a" world economic strug
gle and finally, despite the league of
nations, war in a few decades if
there Is not a radical change. Europe,
will then stand Just where it started,
In 19li and will perhaps touch off
again a war of continents."
. The German world- of big business
and finance is apprehensively scan
ning the American horizon for eco
nomic developments. Nervous sensa
tions were caused in these circles
when Gehelmrat Peter Kloeckner,
who like Stinnes and Thyssen is a
great enptain of the coal and iron in
dustry, recently told a meeting of
stockholders: "We are in the first
stages of a great economic crisis
which is already spreading in Amer
ica and England and is knocking at
the doors of Belgium and France.
Unquestionably -this crisis will
scourge-us too and bring with . 'it a
great money shortage and unemploy
ment." -
Business Failures Reported.
Reports of business failures and
wholesale discharging of workmen in
America were important factors is
depressing the Berlin Bourse yester-day--
"It Is almost a sensational phenom
non that .the United States, too, euf
fers from the same economic disease
of the times," says the Vossiche Zei
tung's economic expert. "It Is now ob
vious that we let ourselves be de
ceived by false appearances when we
envied America as the laughing heir
of dying Europe. It is not mere chance
that the. crisis has been most acute ia
America so far."
The writer blames the "shortsight
edness of the entente victors for
breeding the world economic crisis."
A favorite German economic argu
ment today is that the abnormally
low rate, of exchange of the mark is
the direct cumulative result of the
terms of the armistice, the conditions
of the Versailles treaty and the Spa
coal agreement, and that these factors
are therefore to blame for the fact
that Germany cannot buy American
cotton, corn and other raw materials
nd foodstuffs that Germany badly
needs and which the United States
must export. -
Boyers Given W. urn in jr.
At the same time the warning has
gone throughout Germany againsv
"premature buying," the argument be
ing that since America must unload
its accumulated stocks 'of raw ma
terials for the most part in indispen
sable Germany, Germany can afford
to wait a b't longer until tumbling
American . prices reach bottom. It in
also figured that soon after President
elect Harding takes) office a state or
neace with Germany will be declared
and German' property in America will
be restored in full to Its German own
ers, thereby giving a big boost to tho
mark. " ,
From these viewpoints, reports of p.
powerful syndicate's plans it America
for using the impounded German
property as security basis for huge
raw material loans to Germany arouse
little enthusiasm ifi financial circles
here. It is suspected -that "merely
American efforts to unload hug
stocks of raw materials at the high
est, possible prices" are behind suah
plans.

LEAGUE
Whole Gamut of World and Na-
tional Troubles Gone Over
and None Solved."
MARION-, O., Dec J2. The league
of nations deadlock and other prob
lems to be faced by the next admin
istration were talked over between
President-elect Harding today nd
Herbert Hoover, cn kdvocate of the
eague, who came here as one of tins
first men to be summoned by Mr:
Harding In his promised "meeting of
minds."
'Ve went- over jabout the whole,
gamut of world and national trou
bles," sad Mr. Hoover after the con
ference, "and we j solved none of
them."
Besides the league. International
condition and European relations
were the particular subjects on which
the president-elect sought the ad
vice of his visitor and there also
were references to appointments Mr.
Harding is to make In constructing
his administration.
DlHcuRslon Is Casual.
Mr. Hoover frequently has been
mentioned for possible membership
in the cabinet, but he said .today's
discussion of appointments was cas
ual and not conclusive.
In giving hs advice on an inter
national peace concert, Mr. Hoover
is understood to have urged strongly
that parts of the Versailles covenant
be used in whatever world association
the Incoming administration may at
tempt to build. He said material
changes must be made in the treaty,
but took the position that the frame
work embodied In it should be util
ized as far -as .possible.
Mr. Hoover was an adviser to the
American peace delegation at Ver
sailles, and he is understood to have
furnished Mr. Harding with muCh
first-hand information on the atti
tude of European statesmen. Many
of the president-elect's questions re
lated to 'economic conditions abroad
with which Mr. Hoover is familiar.
Early Indemnity TTra-ed.
Mr. Hoover declared the amount
of indemnity to be paid by Germany,
left Indefinite by the peace treaty,
should be fixed early so that Ger
man industry could gauge its activ
ities to fix the tax of payment. Ad
vising in regard to American eco
nomic relations with Europe, he told
Mr. Harding that one of the surest
ways to prevent the undermining of
American industry was to encourage
investment of American capital
enterprises abroad.
The financial situation at home
also was discussed, Mr. Hoover mak
ing several suggestions for the stab
ilization of American markets. On
the question of farm relief, he ad
vocated a general policy of extend
ing credits to purchasers rather than
to producers, on the theory that such
a plan in the end would permit farm
prices to find their proper level.
Mr. Harding took a keen interest
in his caller's descriptions of relief
work now in progress under his
supervision and arrangements were
made for Mr. Harding to become
personal sponsor for 250 European
children, who are to be aided by
American contributions until the next
harvest. The contribution for that
number at $10 each, was made by Mr.
Harding some time ago.

Bolshevikl Reported to Be Touring

the country, Mrs. Marguerite Gaynor,
wife of Captain Brian Gaynor, now
with the Britisn cavalry forces on the
Afghan frontier, engaged with the
bolshevik armies, arrived here today.
Conditions in India were character

who for the past year has been with
her husband at Meerut, India, prior
to his being- ordered to aid in stem
