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

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.

"Sir Edward Grey in London ex
hausted the arts of traditional diplo-
macy to gain moment for reflection
J everybody saw the horrible magnitude
i of the impending du-a.tcr. but there
I was no organized opinion of the world,
there was no agency through which
. the sane restraints of humanity and
Justice could operate.
"it is Inconceivable that the peoples
of the world willed such a war. It is
i equally inconceivable that the peoples

" restrain the madness of the moment

"We have had centuries of leagues

J too much to believe that in this en-

OREGON CITY. Or.. Dec. 4. (Spe
cial.) 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.

That There Is No Censorship on

Jolccy Williams, the well known
American actreaa. who was recently
playing at the Imperial Theater Id SL
Louis. Mo, made the following state
ment about gray hair and how to dark
en It:
"Anyone can prepare a simple mix
ture at home, at very little cost, that
will darken gray streaked or faded
hair, and make It soft and glossy. To
a half pint of water add 1 ounce of bay
rum. a small box of Barbo Compound,
and ounce of glycerine. These In
gredients can be bought at any drug
atore at very little cost, or any drug
gist can put it up for you. Apply to
the hair twice a week until the desired
hade Is obtained. This will make a
gray-haired person look SO years
younger. This Is not a dye. It doe not
color the most delicate scalp. Is not
sticky or greasy and docs not rub off.

said:
"The only rationing done Is by the
cable companies themselves. They are
unable to handle all the business which

In amplifying his statement, cabled
previously, that he wished to have
nothing to do with the representatives
of the press after reaching Europe. Mr.
Creel recalled the fact that before de
parting from Washington he said he
would have no connection with the
work of American newspaper corre
spondents In Europe.
"This still stands." he continued. "My
sole contact has been personal and co
operative.
Mr. Creel said he was engaged In

first report, the Marion CoujCty grand
Jury, which has been investigating the
prison, filed the following supplement
ary report with Judge Kelly here to
day: ' "Tour grand jury would respectfully
report that since filing our previous
report, several matters therein have
been called to our attention by inter
ested parties through statements in the
public press and otherwise.
Findings Deemed Warranted.
"All of these matters again have
been given careful consideration. The
evidence previously submitted by vari
ous state officers, public employers, ex
pert accountants and a number of pri
vate citizens as well as some prisoners
has been carefully considered and fully
warrants the findings herein.
'Several of those concerned have
made statements credited to them by
the press at variance with their sworn
testimony before us, and we are con
strained to confirm our report on their
sworn testimony before us rather than
on their unsworn newspaper state
ments. "Steps are already being taken by the
parties concerned to remedy some of
the matters called to their attention
by the report, particularly as the same
pertains to the money belonging to the
prisoners' loan fund and to the estab
lishment of a more comprehensive sys
tem of cost accounting as well as some
other matters.
Parofe Law Change I rged.
"Your grand jury recommends legis
lation prohibiting all officers and em
ployes from receiving or agreeing to
receive money, gratuities, ct cetera,
from prisoners, including those on pa
role, or from anyone else on their be
half, and prohibiting anyone connected
with the penitentiary other than the
warden or deputy warden from solicit
ing pardons or paroles from the gov
ernor or the parole board, for the rea
son that existing laws do not' provide
for the punishment of the reprehensi
ble conduct of some of those connected
with the penitentiary that has come to
the attention of this grand Jury."

With the Punktal clear, unblurred, images

But let us remind you that without the

them accurately.
