F SPIRITS OF DEAD DEMAND I z League of Nations Characterized as " Passionate Demand of the f Men In the Streets. BUFFALO. X. T.. Jan. i. Speaklns ; fcere tonight before the Buffalo Cham - ber of Commerce, Secretary of War 3 Baker declared it inconceivable that the peace conference would make the Z. world war an insupportable tragedy by z. failing to provide for a league of na- lions or some other arrangement to - prevent such disasters in the future. i "We hero in America who have - worked and paid." he said, "the fathers ; and mothers who have (riven their tons, surely have a right to some high t assurances of future peace as a con- - lolatlon for their sacrifices. Or.e can not close his eyes and think of the Z peace conference at Versailles with " out feeling; that there hover over it : the spirits of millions of dead men - demanding that their sacrifices be not in vain. that the statesmen of the world now secure to mankind the blessings which they died to obtain. ; Mr. Baker said he had no intention ; of speaking for the President, whose - statements had been explicit and in ; whose hands the case of America now " was placed. Tribute Paid President, "He stands with head erect, said the Secretary, "in the ancient places of the old world, where other kinds of treaties used to be made, and represents a great and free people. He is the advocate - not of a form but of a principle. "It may be that there are voices in - this country which quiver with hesita r Hon and here ai d there timorous un r certainty, but back of him in that coun- cil chamber are the voices of the de : mocraciea of the world, of the men who tabor and the women who sac- " riflce. He is by force of events the - spokesman of the democracy of the - world, and the compositions of this : war will be a new Magna Charta. a new : bill of rights to liberate the children r of the future from the burdens of the '- past.1 ' As to the proposal for a league of - nations. Mr. Baker said it was not - such a scheme as the holy alliance - augaested by some of its critics. "It is not proposed out of cabinets of absolute ministers. he said. but Is : rather the passionate demand of the man In the street, the simple and the f unsophisticated who know little of the " intrigues and wtlrs of statecraft; but who know a very great deal about the : suffering and sacrifice which war en- tails. Intricate Qaeetloaa Fared. ; "For my own part. I refuse to be : timid about America's capacity to do new things which are needed in a new f world. 1 decline to distrust our pur pose or to shrink from moving forward - because the road seems wider and t hisher than roads we have traveled hitherto. I do not know what form . those arrangements can take. I am not "wedded to any particular method of pre , serving the peace of the world. I do of November 11 was signed." Criticisms Tanehed I pan. Mr. Baker made only one reference touching subjects of criticisms of the War Department recently voiced in the Senate. "Although there is much talk of the United States having to rely upon Great Britain and France to sup ply its armies with heavy artillery," he said, "nevertheless, American Indus try did. in fact, supply to Great Brit ain and France practically an equiva lent to that made available to us from them. American industry was able to meet the demands made upon it. and on the day the armistice was signed our Army abroad was thoroughly equipped with American-made rifles and machine guns, some heavy artil lery had been shipped and the stream of supplies of all types of artillery, am munition and equipment was beginning at such a rate as would have supplied our own vast forces entirely from our Hi JURY FAVORS PAROLE LAW CHANG E Practices of Certain Prison Officials Are Scored.

" The peace conference, Mr. Baker said, undoubtedly faced intricate and diffi- cult geographical and racial questions. It would be conceivably possible, he i added, "to make treaties ending this I war in the old way, quieting Its pres ' em discords and dealing with each na ;' tional claim as though it were Indi . vidual and of no community interest.1 Uut we had a world organized in the old way in 1314." he continued ; "In the lat months of that year the ' heady currents of international mis understanding swirlrd together, and i know of no more pathetic picture than that of the he!plesness of the great j and enlightened governments of the world aa their statesmen watched the stream and realized that no provision .' had been made to tftem it.

Last Saturday night one of the largest banquets ever held in Oregon City was given the employes of the woolen mill by the management. Everyone made the most of the Christ mas celebration and thoroughly enjoyed themselves. Four tables, each 6fi feet long, were gaily decorated for the occasion and nearly 400 plates were laid. Santa Claun appeared and distributed presents to the guests and Bequeth's orchestra rendered music throughout the even ing. Vaudeville players from the Pan- tages circuit added much to the enter tainment. At the close of the banquet A. R. Jacobs gave an address, in which he sprung several agreeable surprises. He announced that the mills would go on an eight-hour basis and on vote of the employes it was decided to work more than eight hours during the first of the week and take Saturday afternoon off. It was announced, that the manage ment had made preparations for the employes to become a self-governing body and arst in shaping the policy of the company toward the employes. This will be done through committees. Another announcement made was that the bonus system will be con tinued and in addition to the present policy I's per cent extra will be allowed for six months continuous service and & per cent for one year, 7 hi per cent for two year.. 10 per cent for three years and 15 per cent for Ave years. rousing demonstration was given Mr. Jacobs and as the guests filed out Santa was again on the Job and dis- ftrlbuted prexents.
