The White Home, Washington, May 8,

cable you sppke of forwarding measage to
congress. Have you made up your mind
as to what you will discuss? Would like
to suggest certain things I believe vital.
TUMULTY.
Paris, May 9. 1919. Tumulty, White
House. Washington: Happily there is no
mystery or privacy about what I have
promised the government here. I have
' promised to propose to the senate a supple-
ment In which we shall agree, subject to
me approval oi toe council ui uiv icaiue
of nations, to come Immediately to the as
sistance of France In cost of unprovoked
attack by Germany, thus merely hastening
the action to which we should be bound by
the covenant of the league of nations.

Further cablegrams which passed
between the White House and Paris
during- the peace conference are made
public as follows:
Washington. April 5, 1919. Grayson,
care President Wilson. Paris: In my opinion
the president must In some dramatic way
clear the air of doubts and misunder
standings and despair which now prevade
the whole world situation. He must take
hold of the situation with both hands
and shnke It out f its present indecision,
or political sabotage and scheming will
triumph. Only a bold stroke by the presi
dent will save Europe and perhaps the
world. That stroke must be made regard
leas of the cries and admonitions of his
friendly advisors. He has tried to settle
the Issue in secret: only publicity of a
dramatic kind now can save the situation
This occasion calls for that audacity which
has helped him win in every fight.
TUMULTY.
Paris, April 6. 1910. Tumulty. Washing-ton:
The president says the situation
here is extremely complex and intricate,
hut seems to be Improving and he expects
to have It In hand this week, but if neces
sary will act according to your sugges
tion. The president Is confined to bed.
but steadily Improving. Thanks for your
telegram. GHAYSON.
Paris, April 8. 1919 Tumulty. Wash
ington: President attended conference In
his study this afternoon. Situation shows
some Improvement. President has ordered
George Washington to proceed here Im
mediately. GRAYSON.
The White "House. Washington, April 9,
191 , Grayson, care President Wilson,
Paris: The. ordering of the George Wash
ington to return to France looked upon
here as an act of ImpAtlence and petulance
on the president's part and not accepted
here In good grace by either friends or
foes. It is considered as an evidence that
the presWfnt Intends to leave the con
ference if his views are not accepted. I
think this method of withdrawal most un
wise and fraught with the most dan
gerous possibilities here and abroad, be
cause it puts upon the president the re
sponsibility of withdrawing when the
president should by his own act plttce the
responsibility for a break of the confer
ence where it properly belongs. The
president should not put himself in the
position of being the first to withdraw If
his 14 points are not accepted. Hather he
should put himself In the position of being
the one who remained at the conference
until the very last, demanding the ac
ceptance of his : t principles.
Nothing should be said about his leav
ing Kram-e, but he ought when the time
and occasion arrive to re-state his views
in terms of the deepest solemnity and yet
without any ultimatum attached and then
await a response from his associates. In
other words, let him by his acts and words
place his associates In the position of those
who refu( to continue the conference be
etune of their unwillingness to live up to
the terms of the armistice. Then the
president cm return to this country and
justify his withdrawal. He' cannot Justify
his withdrawal any other way. Up to
this t.m- the world has been living on
stories coming out of Paris that there was
to be an agreement' on the league of na
tions. Suddenly out of a clear sky comes
an order foq the George Wa.htngtnn and
unofficial statements of the president's
withdrawal. A withdrawal at this time
would be a desertion. TUMULTY.
The White House, Washington. April 9,
1919 President Wilson, Paris: A great
number of your friends here fear that
the lnterposltlonof United states in mat
ter of Indemnity and reparation, which'
to a paramount question with Kuro
pean nations and only of lndlrecf Inter
est to us, will solidify the opposition of
England, France, Italy and Belgium to a
league of nations. Our friend believe
that any necessary sacrifices to assure a
league of nation should be made. Your
supporters would be happy If. you could
throw upon the other nations the burden
of exacting indemnities and at the same
time win their support to a league of na
tions. TUMULTY.
Paris. April 10, 1919. Tumulty. Washing
ton: President made good progress today by
hammering ahead with his own force. His
health la improving; out for a short drive
this afternoon ; first outing since last
Thursday. GRAYSON.
Paris, April 10, 1919 Tumulty. Washing
ton: Have shown your message to the presi
dent, from your side of the water your
points are welt taken, but he ha formed
his ideas through immediate contact with
act pal conditions on this side of the
world. The French are the champion
tlme-klllers of the world. The George
Washington Incident has had a castor oil
effect on thm all. More progress ha
been made in the last two days than has
been made for the last two weeks. Am
spending all the time I can In guiding cor
respondents and showing them every at
tention, I confer with Grasty every day.
The pre0ldent Is working too hard fol
lowing his recent illness. To know that
things are going on and not properly han
dled, and yet be responsible for them,
causes him more worry and anxiety and
does more harm than actual participation.
This Is a matter that worries me. If his
health can hold out I am still confident
he will win handsomely. Am keeping as
cheerful a front as possible over here.
GRAYSON.
Paris. April 12. 1919 Tumulty, Washing
ton: So far a"s It Is possible to tell amid
complexity of selfish fhterests things
seem to be slowly clearing. President
sends you his love and says keep a stiff
upper lip. GRAYSON.
Paris, April 24. 1919. Tumulty, Washing
ton: Thank you for your cable about indus
trial board. On the whole I think they
have got Into a blind alley, but I am glad
you are' going to obtain Hines's opinion
Do not give yourself any concern about
secret treaties. You may be sure I will
enter Into none. WOODROW WILSON.
The White House, Washington. April 30.
1919. President Wilson. Paris: Beg to call
your attention to following editorial from
the Springfield Republican: "The critical
period In the peacemaking hap been
reached when progress can win over
reaction the very least of victories only
by resolute stand of the most com
manding figure in Paris. France and Eng
land eanno.t desert the president without
branding themselves as hypocrites and ln
g rates. Worse things . could happen than
for the president to come home without a
peace treaty, leaving Kurope to wallow In
the mire of national rivalries and hates to
which reaction would sentence it for all
thmo. There Is no compelling reaeon 'why
America should sign a treaty that would
merely perpetuate ancient feuds and matte
new wars a certainty. Our chief interest
In the conference at Paris, as the presi
dent declared at Manchester, is the peace
of the world. Unless that can be made
reasonably sure, with Europe's sincere co-

merely visit a single grade and hear
children in one recitation, but to
make a systematic study of the school
work from the primary to high school

stated, spent $90,000 last year, or
more than twice as much as was de
manded for expenses of the municipal
government in all its departments.

munity clean-up day on Saturday, at
which time the commercial club and
city council turned out to assist. Much
work was done and an inmprovement

tive in this Umatilla cemetery who

Portland's Pnmmunitv Cheat and its
many phases of helpfulness to the city j

shown by Inquiries received by Execu- j
tlve Secretary Herdman from other ;
cities as to it plan of operation. j

but that place has fieard of the orgy !
Just how he plan of systematized giv

Wilmington will have a similar chest ;
from which to meet community needs.

San Francisco, too, asked for lnfor- j
mation about the way Portland has
worked out the problem. That city I
will operate along similar lines in
future. These are only a few of the
inquiries that have come to Portland t
because of the eminently successful j
way the chest has worked here.
Tacoma is getting ready for a com
munity chest drive and the people j
there expect to complete the required
quota within a short time. Yakima Is
organizing; a campaign for funds that
will supply the needs of local chari
ties. "whieh will be handled through a
central organization similar to Port

ROBBER GETS20 YEARS
John Strumnnn Sentenced for Hold
ing I'p Taxi Driver.
John Stramann. one of a pair of
highwaymen who held up, robbed and
gagged Wllbert Funk, taxicab driver,
last September is sorry he did not
take the advice of his attorney, Tom
Garland. Garland had advised his
client that his best course was ta
plead guilty and throw himself on the
mercy of the court. Stramann ap
peared before Presiding Judge Mor
row one afternoon not long ago with
the intention of ! nt so. but changed
bis mind and said he would stand
trial.
He stood trial, was found guilty by
a Jury, and was sentenced to 20 years
In the state penitentiary by Circuit
Judge Hamilton of Roreburg, sitting
in Portland, yesterday afternoon. Had
he pleaded guilty the district attor
ney's office might not have protested
against a sentence of ten years' im
prisonment. Judge Hamilton said that in pass
ing sentence he was taking into con
sideration the Jurj's recommenda
tion for leniency, but that Stramann
was equally guilty with his partner
in the crime, who is now serving a
20-year sentence imposed by Circuit
Judge Tazwell, and had been the one
to hold the revolver at Funk's head.

Beach citizens appeared before the

through their spokesmen, C. W. Yana
and E. Nyhus, urged the necessity of
the Immediate rebuilding of the South
