THE SUNDAY OKEGOXIAN, rOKTLAND, JUNE II 1917- 5 END OF ALL WARS IS CABINETS' HOPE American "Delegate at Rome Suggests Constitution for Democracies of World. SELFISHNESS WAR CAUSE Prominent Men Back Proposal That AH Conflicts Cease After Present Tribulations Have Come to Finis and League Favored. BY JOHN CATALAN O'LAUGHLIN. WASHINGTON. June 16. (Special.) Every cabinet in the world is consider ing: a. plan to rthe prevention of wars after the present conflict is at an end. This fact is known in "Washington. To some extent the discussion is aca demic, for there is as yet no end in eight for the existing struggle. But the wise statesmen and diplomat is projecting his mind into the future and preparing to meet the questions which will arise when the peace conferences begin. President Wilson advocated last Feb ruary a world peace based upon a league of nations. David Lubin, dele gate of the United States to the In ternational Institute at Rome, has gone further. He has proposed an interna tional federation of democracies con trolled by a written constitution. In other words, he believes that world peaco. could be more easily brought about through the adoption of the Gov ernment of the United States for the government of the world. Plan Submitted at Rome. Mr. Lubin's suggestion is particularly interesting because he submitted it to the diplomatic corps at Rome and re ceived from its members the view on the general subject of future peace. Thomas Nelson Page. the. American Ambassador to Italy, described Mr. Lu bin's idea as a great and fundamental one of the assembling of the forces of democracy among all people. Mr. Page said he looked to the co-ordination of these forces and of their organization in one direction to accomplish world peace. ' Here are some other comments made by distinguished statesmen and dlpl vnats: I-'&ola Boselli. Prime Minister of Italy -In Italy, which is the home of civil a.nd international law, and which is es eentially a democratic country, the Ideas which you set forth certainly will awaken an echo of sympathy, and I. for any part, express the wish for the real ization of all things that may tend to raise humanity through the pacific col laboration of the nations. Selfishness Cause of War. Baron de Giers, Ambassador of Rus sia It is evident that it is not at the present moment that arrangements aiming at establishing permanent peace can be made. It was the central em pires who wished for this war to at tain their selfish ends; the entente powers have gathered together their forces and are now beginning to deal the decisive blows which will insure victory in the, near future. The sole aim that they can pursue at this time is that of attaining this victory at all costs and in the shortest time possible. When they shall have placed their ag gressors in a position in which they can no longer harm, the time will be here to proceed to the establishment of a condition of things- apt to render im possible the return of unjustifiable ag gressions. Sir Rennell Rodd, British Ambassador to Italy The more such a proposal can be ventilated and discussed the better. The reception generally accorded to President Wilson's views as to ultimate safeguards of future peace indicates that, if a practical scheme of applica tion can be found it will meet with gen eral favor. One of the difficulties which seems to present itself is that any scheme for international confederation seems to connate a certain sacrifice of na tional individuality and individual in terest and that in spite of the develop ment of communications of commercial Intercourse, and of more intimate knowledge of each other among the peoples of the world, a tendency has been observable in recent years to em phasize rather than to weaken the spirit of nationality. A reluctance may. therefore, be anticipated on the part of come national units to renounce any av enue of individual development. The democratic spirit seems, however, to be one common ground upon which nations juay meet, and it certainly hitherto has . tended to international sympathies and diminished antagonisms. Former Premier Talks. Iuigi LrUzzatl. ex-Premier of Italy The nations allied in the great cause of civilization are already striving toward this end. The first attempts have been made by their parliaments at electing representatives to come to mu tual understandings on fundamental matters. Delegates of the French and British parliaments (both of the lower and upper houses) already have met. and recently ihe delegates of the iFrench and Italian parliaments gath ered in Rome. Now the representatives of the three great nations France. Kngland and Italy are to meet in Paris end these gatherings already are known as the inter-allied parliaments. The Russian Duma has promised its adher ence, and undoubtedly in the near fu ture, at a great meeting to be held in Paris or London or Rome, a deputa tion of the House and Senate of the United States also will be invited to at tend. Thus, gradually, after the conclusion of a victorious peace, the states, which have fought for the liberation of op pressed nationalities, will agree to a prepared constitutional 6tatute for mankind, free from all forms of polit ical and religious despotism. While the autonomy and sovereignty of the sevaral states will be respected, they spontaneously will delegate to a common parliament and to a common executive those supreme questions which afreet the peace and happiness of the whole human family.

CONGRESS TO BOSH F000 LEGISLATION Wilson Directs Hoover to Pro ceed at Once With Organ ization of Work. HOUSEWIVES' AID IS ASKED President Recognizes Advantage of Waiting Complete Establishment of Administration, bnt Says . . Delay Can't Be Afforded. WASHINGTON, June 16. Congress' delay in passing the Administration's food bills drew from President Wilson today an order directing Herbert C. Hoover to proceed immediately with organization of the new food adminis tration insofar as it contemplates food conservation and elimination of waste through the co-operation of volunteer forces. "While It would in many ways be desirable to await complete legislation establishing the food administration." the President wrote, "it appears to me that so far as volunteer effort can be assembled we should wait no longer." Housewives to Be Enlisted. Plans for enlisting every housewife In the country as a volunteer member of the food administration have been announced by Mr. Hoover, who plans to reach the women through state de fense councils and through various women's organizations. Every woman will be taught how to save food in the kitchen and how to purchase for her family. President Wilson's insistence that the food bills be speeded up caused the Senate today to put the food con trol bill next on the calendar and the measure will be taken up Monday when Ihe House also begins debate on the b.ll. The measure was reported to the Senate today without recommendation. . Need of Wisdom Emphasized. The President's letter to Mr. Hoover follows: . "It seems to me that the inaugura tion of that portion of the plan for food administration which contem plates a National mobilization of the great voluntary forces of the country which are ready to work towards sav ing food and eliminating waste admits of no further delay. "The approaching harvesting, the necessity for wise use and saving, not only in food but in all other expendi tures, the many undirected and over lapping efforts being made toward this end, all press for National direction and inspiration. While it would in many ways be desirable to wait com plete legislation and establishing the food administration, it appears to me that so far as voluntary effort can be assembled we should not wait any longer, and therefore I would be very glad if you would proceed in those di rections at once. Va Seek to Assist. "The women of the Nation are al ready earnestly seeking to do their part in this, our greatest struggle for the maintenance of our National ideals, and in no direction can they so greatly assist as by enlisting in the service of the food administration and cheerfully accomplishing its direction. "By so doing, they will increase the surplus of food available for our own Army and for export to the allies. To provide adequate supplies for the coming year is of absolutely vital im portance to the conduct of the war, and without a very conscientious elimina tion of waste and very strict economy in our food consumption, we cannot hope to fulfill this primary duty. "I trust, therefore, that the women of the country will not only respond to your appeal and accept the pledge to the food administration which you are proposing, but that all men also who are engaged in the personal distribu tion of foods will co-operate with the same earnestness and In the same spirit. I give you full authority to un dertake any steps necessary for the organization and stimulation of their efforts." THREATS BRING ARREST JACKSONVILLE CHARACTER HELD ON INSANITY CHARGE. Threatening Letters to Medford Post master Cause Officers to Be Sus picious of Charlie Sweet. MEDFORD, Or., June 16. (Special.) Charlie Sweet, an eccentric character of Jacksonville, was arrested by Sheriff Jennings tonight on a charge of insanity, following his threats to blow up the Medford Postoffice be cause his mail did not arrive on time. For several weeks Postmaster George Mims received blackhand letters threatening various degrees of vio lence, and upon the suggestion from Federal authorities at San Francisco a detachment of soldiers from Company I was placed on guard. On Friday night about 10 o'clock Sweet was captured by one of the sol diers as he was prowling about the area at the rear of the Federal build ing. He was questioned by the post master, admitted writing the threaten ing letters, but had nothing on his per son to suggest violence except a few cartridges. Postmaster Mims decided Sweet was harmless and let him go. Investiga tion of the case today, however, con vinced local authorities that the man was either a criminal or a dangerous lunatic, so a warrant for his arrest was issued. SOUTHERN CHINA ARMS SIX PROVINCES UNITE TO ENFORCE LIBERAL GOVERNMENT. Leader of Revolt Against President Is Chosen to Command Armies. En tente Asked to Stand Aside. NEW YORK, June IS. A cablegram foreshadowing extensive military op erations by six of the Chinese southern provinces against the government was received here today by the Chinese Nationalist League of New York from its headquarters in Canton. The league is said to represent politically the six provinces and to favor China's entry into the war on the entente side under a liberal republican govern ment. Southern trops already are marching on Wu-Chang. according to the message. The message reads: m "Tii a aix Chinese provinces of Kwang-Tung. Kwang-SI, K wei-Chow. Yunnan. Hunan and Sie-Chuen have co-ordinated their plans for active re sistance to the rebellion in Pekin, and it is now certain that unless that re bellion is brought under control exten sive military operations will ensue. "Armies organized in all these prov inces have sent emissaries to Canton, who have settled on General Lu Yung ting, the successful leader of last year's Yunnan rebellion, which deposed Pres ident Yuan Shi Kai. as their leader against the armies of the north. "Southern troops are already march ing toward Wu-Chang. At a mass meeting of the citizens of Canton im mediate mobilization and an increase of taxes for military funds were decided upon and will shortly be passed by the provincial assemjbly and promul gated by the Governor, General Chan Ping-Kwan. "The southern. leaders now gathered in Canton, represent all factions in lib eral China and assert they have united solely to preserve constitutional gov ernment under the republic. They have Issued an appeal to the allied governments and to America not to loan money or support the northern rebels and to refrain from intervention in China's struggle against 'reaction ary Prussianism.' " WOMEN TO ENLIST IN AID RED CROSS WAR COUNCIL CREATES NEW RELIEF BUREAU. Prominent Matrons From All Sections of Country Are Named as Na tional Advisory Committee. WASHINGTON, June 16. To or ganize non-professional women to aid in relief work, the Red Cross war coun cil has created a woman's bureau and has appointed a National advisory com mittee of women which will endeavor to enlist every available woman in the campaign for adequate sums and sup plies. The new bureau will be in charge of Miss Florence M. Marshal, of the Manhattan Trade School, who will come to Washington and open a per manent office about July 1. Mrs. W. K. Draper, prominent in Red Cross work in New York City, will head the ad visory committee. "The Red Cross war council." said Chairman Davison, in announcing the step, "is moved by a sense of very deep obligation to the women of Amer ica for their generous response to the call of the Red Cross. That response, as measured in the daily increase in the ranks of volunteer workers, has been unsurpassed. "To recognize this warm response, as well as to supply the leadership for the days of trial before us. is the purpose of this new organization. Its work will be to stimulate women everywhere in great tasks ahead. Es pecially the bureau will seek to guide and encourage the women in smaller towns and in the country. These wom en, working in their home or in local groups, frequently are not in touch with chapter workrooms and organized branches of Red Cross activity. ..Yet their work is vital at this time, when every bandage, every hospital garment and every kind of supplies is needed for the relief of world-wide suffering." On the advisory committee with Mrs. Draper are: Miss Mary Goodwillie, of Baltimore, vice-chairman; Miss Mabel T. Boardman, Washington; Mrs. Jose Cudahy, Chicago: Mrs. F. V. Hammer, St. Louis: Mrs. E.

Just think, girls! Tou apply a little liquid silmerine at bedtime and in the morning your hair has a prettier wave and curl than probably it has ever had. The waviness looks perfectly natural, and the hair is sleek and glossy like plush. It will remain In curl the long est time, regardless of heat, wind or moisture, and you won't have to be continually fussing with loose strands or flying ends. Liquid Silmerine Is of course entirely harmless. It leaves no sticky, greasy or streaky trace. It has the peculiar quality of drying in beautiful waves, creases and swirls. It is also an ex cellent dressing for the hair, keeping it delightfully soft and silky. A few ounces from your druggist will last for weeks. It Is best applied with a clean tooth brush, drawing this down the full length, of the hair. Adv. YQ' Ate IfeE:i MINERS STRIKE STILL ON UNION ONLY WEEK OLD DECLARES IT HAS 1UOO MEMBERS.
