PORTLAND REPLY Vancouver Joins Fight Against Rehearing. CASE DECIDED ON MERIT Reply to Petition Attacks In terveners' Attitude.

""No reason exists," the reply con cludes, "for suggesting that the com mission's final report, in which all of its members concurred, represents hasty or superficial judgment.

Legal Battery Is Heavy. The reply to the Puget sound and Astoria interveners was compiled by W. P. LaRoche, attorney for the com mission of public docks; Gus C.

ALL SACRIFICED TO IDEALS Open Peace Session Cut and Dried Beforehand. NO ADVICE IS HEEDED Ei-Secrctarj of State in Book De fends Course but Declares President Obstinate. BT MARK SULLIVAN. (Copyright by the New York Kvenlng Post, Inc. Published by Arrangement.) WASHINGTON, D. C. March 24. (Special.) Ex -Secretary of State Rob ert Lansing today published tho book in which he gives his version of the cause for which cx-Prcsident Wilson abruptly dismissed him a year ago last month and tells what he knows of the actions of the American dele gation to the peace conference. To the public most of the book will come as new and sensational. To those of us who were in Paris at the time it is not so new, but it is sensa tional in the sense that the most ex treme things we ventured to say in our hurried day-to-day dispatches are borne out two years later in the ob viously restrained and carefully checked up narrative of one who was himself a delegate. Secrecy is Criticised. And when we journalists cried out against the secrecy of the peace con ference 1 was never sure but our judgment was warped by our natural resentment of the baffling of our pro fessional ambition to get the hews. But here is Lansing saying again and again, at a hundred places in the book, sentences like these: "the sec retness of the discussions and de cisions regarding the treaty settle ments aroused amazement and indig nation. The- body of delegates was practically unanimous in disapprov ing the Becrecy of proceedings. "The open sessions of the confer ence were arranged beforehand. They were formal and perfunctory. The agreements and bargains were made behind closed doors. The American commissioners, other than Colonel House, were almost entirely ignorant of the proceedings." Lansing Has Reply Ready. Expressions like this, or stronger, appear on nearly every page of Mr. Lansing's book. And if Mr. Wilson's defenders reply that this is merely a dismissed secretary of state justify, ing himself two years after the event, Mr. Lansing has a complete answer. He kept a diary These condemna tions of secrecy not only appear in his present text but appear again and again in the diary which the author is now able to quote with convincing evidential effect. On April 2, 1919, Mr. Lansing wrote In his diary: "Everywhere there are developing bitterness and resentment against secrecy. Muttered confidences, secret intrigues and the tactics of the 'gum shoer are discredited." And a few days later, in the same month of April, 1919, Mr. Lansing re corded a conversation he had with an Italian diplomat, who said: "All our trouble comes from these secret meet ings of four men who keep no rec ords and who tell different stories of what takes place. Secrecy is to blame." Lansing Gives His Side. The backbone of the book is Mr. Lansing's statement of his side of the differences with Mr. Wilson, which led to his dismissal in February, 1920. According to Mr. Lansing's versions, these differences began as long be fore as October, 1918. During that month President Wilson had frequent conferences with Colonel House and after one of these conferences Colonel House astonished Mr. Lansing with the information that Mr. Wilson In tended to go to the peace conference personally. Mr. Lansing did not believe It was wise, and "feeling very strongly that it would be a grave mistake for the president to take part in person in the negotiations, I felt It to be my duty as his official adviser in foreign affairs and as one desirous to have him adopt a wise course, to state plainly to him my views." Hesitation Is Explained. Mr. Lansing said he hestltated to do this because he knew that he himself as secretary of state would be the head of the American peace commis sion if Mr. Wilson remained at home, Therefore, he feared that his motive in opposing the president's attending might be misconstrued. However, Mr. Lansing, with an air of rather over conscious rectitude, overcame his scruples and went to the president with his views. He records the epi sode in his diary for November 12: "I had a conference this noon with the president at the White House. I told him frankly that I thought that his plan for him to attend was unwise. I hoped that be understood that I spoke only out of a sense of duty." The end of this episode was re corded -by Mr. Lansing in this sig nificant sentence: "The president listened to my re marks without comment and turned 4 Concluded cn Pago . Coliuua W General Secretary Declares ei- rrcmicr ol France Will 'ot Make Specific Overtures. WASHINGTON, D. C, March 24. While the visit of Itene Vivian!, French ex-premier ana special envoy to the United States, has been an nounced officially as one" of courtesy" to President Harding, Dr. Marcel Knccht, his general secretary, who arrived today, declared that Vivianl was prepared to give a receptive car to any proposals from the United States regarding the peace settlement and the league of nations.

' WASHINGTON, D. C, March 21. Unattended and without the knowl edge of the public, Eugene V. Debs, imprisoned socialist leader, came here today from Atlanta penitentiary and for three hours discussed his case with Attorney-General Daugherty. The unprecedented trip was made with the approval of President Hard ing, who recently requested Mr. Daugherty to review the Debs caae and make a recommendation. The attorney-general in announc ing Debs was on his way 'back to Atlanta said that while there was no precedent for calling a prisoner here without a guard, it had been decided in conference with President Harding that Inasmuch as Debs had defended himself at his trial he should come to answer such Inquiries as the government desired to ask. Mr. Daugherty added that he believed he had the authority to place the prisoner on his honor and that he had assumed the responsibility. Movements Kept Secret. . Dobs arrived early in tne day, went to the department of justice about 9:45 o'clock, conferred with Mr. Daugherty and G. D. Goff, assist ant to the attorney-general, for about three hours and left at 3:30 o'clock. His movements from tho time he left Atlanta yesterday were kept secret. For that reason newspaper men who gathered for the attorney-general's weekly conference refused for a min ute to believe their ears when they heard Mr. Daugherty eay: "I don't believe I have much news for you, gentlemen, but regarding Debs' visit, I havo had a statement prepared." Mr. Daugherty gave out the follow ing statement: "In connection with the Investiga tion of the Debs case and after con ference with the president and his ap proval, I had Debs come for tho pur- pose of making certain inquiries of him. "He has returned to Atlanta. I have asked him to refrain from say ing anything regarding tho subject of the inquiries made. I am suro no well-meaning persons will urge him to discuss the matter or anything that took place on his journey or his stay here. Deba rresents Ons Cane. "Debs presented his own case to the trial court and Jury. He was per mitted to do so here. The Debs case. as I have said before, stands alone. I could not, of course, go to him. "What took place and the Informa tion I have acquired will be reported only to the president and that in con nection with any recommendation that may have been made when the investigation is concluded.

The nation knows it, and certain foemen glimpsed its signifi cance an instant before the bayonets bore them down or the shrapnel burst But the details, the narrative, the real story of that mustering were overcast by the press of great events and we are prone to easy forgetfulness. In The Sunday Oregonian, beginning March 27, Adjutant General George A. White, who supervised the first summons to Oregon's splendid youth, will present a series of articles dealing with Oregon's answer and the participation of her sons in the world war. While the narrative is not designed a3 official or com plete, and has been compiled without reference to the vast volume of records, it consti tutes an authentic and stirring narrative of the part played' by this state in its magnificent response. Follow this series each Sunday to its last chapter. It is history that quickens both pride and recollection. Beginning March 27 in THE SUNDAY OREGONIAN V i' t.. b'- -1
