the opposition which has developed to
the league of nations covenant has not
caused him to decide that any radical
chances are necessary. It is rec

and minor particulars are possible, but
it is understood that President Wilson
is not looking for any fundamental
alterat ion.
Thus far the president has civen

That night Mr. Likin's name was
ailed and he was sent to Camp Mills.
From there he sailed to Liverpool, later
being sent to France.
One morning while the 315th tank
battalion was getting ready to go over
the top, be got in the land monster and
took the gunner's place. It was about
5:30 when the order came to "go over."
In about an hour the tank tried to
waddle through a shell hole, but the
mud and water was too deep. This did
not stall the two Americans. They
waited until the infantry wave passed
by, then dismounting the machine gun,
they followed and went through the
engagement as machine gunners.
It was for this act that he was
awarded the Croix de Guerre, the date
of the presentation being December 23,
1918.
On November 7 the tank battalion
went over again. By this time the
second driver had been killed. On the
- morning of November 8 the third driver
was killed by an anti-tank gun bullet.
Finding a tank that was only a little
bit out of repair, Mr. Likins "mended
the trouble and with another driver
went on. In the afternoon the high
explosive shell hit the tank, killing the
driver and seriously wounding him.

He was sent back to a hospital and

authorities heard that President Wilson
was coming to inspect the base. Some
one blundered. The hospital staff had
it fixed so that while the president was
there he could see that every patient

out at midnight, given his discharge
and told to be on his way. He was
told to go to the classification camp at
Bloie.
Mr. Likins had another notion, that
of making a sightseeing tour of
France. This he did. Later he was
ordered home. At Camp Merritt Mr.

7500 TONS OF FOOD ARRIVE
American Commission for Northern

(Copyright by the New Tork World. Pub-

COPENHAGEN. March 8. (Special
by Wireless.) The large American
steamer Bali yesterday arrived here
with 7500 tons of food for the Ameri
can food distribution commission of
northern Europe, the headquarters of
which is here.
Most of the food will be sent to the

Just a.s quiet and peaceful and just

as the peace conference was the session
of the Civic league yesterday at the

Five minutes after the session opened
the dove of peace took a prolonged va
ration, and when the meeting adjourned
had failed to find its way back
U. W, Montague was the official pro
ponent of the league. Robert Treat
Piatt it was, who proceeded to use his
best efforts to consider the league as

"The covenant ha.-- been carefully
drawn. It is impossible for us longer
to play a lone hand in the ;am( of the
world." said Mr. Montague.
And it wns but a few moments later
that Mr. Piatt denounced the coxenant
ar sloppily drawn, inchoate and uneon
Kt itntional.
"The Ifflrup of nations would forever
prevent war." asserted Mr. Montague.
"The league of nations would forever
cause wars," snapped Mr. Piatt.
"The covenant is practical and con
crete," cjijoth Mr. Montague.
"Hopelessly impractical, abstract and
altruistic." was Mr. Piatt's view.
"Ta f t and Wilson are both for it,"
announced the "league's supporter.
"Tafl and Wilson have both been
repudiated by popular vote Taft when
defeated for re-election and Wilson by
the election of a republican senate," re
plied Mr. Piatt, the league's opposer.
Mr. Piatt took a fling at an after
noon newspaper, for its appeal regard
ing the league.
Mr. Montague leaped to the defense
of the newspaper.
Mr. Piatt scored the Forum, the organ
of the league, for asserting that "it was
difficult In Portland to find any re
sponsible speaker who would rise and
openly oppose the league!"
Senator Opponentn Derided.
Mr. Montague analyzed the league of
nations covenant and derided the sen.
ators who opposed i.t.
Mr. Piatt quoted Theodore Roosevelt
as a strong opponent.
" The gods smile and the angels weep'
to have a Robert Treat Piatt support
ing Roosevelt. Mr. Montague quoted.
Mr. Piatt is known aw a sterling re
publican.
J. P. Newell, president of the Civic
league, presided and endeavored to
keep the peace of the gathering. All
in all, a pleasant time was had by all.
Charles Upson Clark, director of
classical studies. American academy at
Rome, denounced as Oerman propa
ganda any statement that there was
ll-feeling between the Jugo-Slavs and
the Italians, and pointed out that Italy
had won a decisive battle of the war
and the most decisive battle of the
world by taking 900.000 prisoners and
smashing the Austrian line, with the
result that Austria capitulated, which
began the German request for an ar
mistice, which was succeeded by the
Hun surrender.
Dr. A. M. Willard of the First Con
gregational church, spoke In support
of the league, asserting: "Beware of
the dogma that history must repeat it
self. In all cases of progress, the
dogma that history must repeat itself,
and for that reason the league fail,
has itself failed."

TAX PAYMENTS SET RECORD
i
MORE THAN $782,819 TAKEN' IX
VP TO YESTERDAY.
Prosperous Times and Increase of
Money In Circulation Given as
Reason for Rush.
Despite the fact that tax collections
began this year on February 10, instead
of on February 4, as in 1918, collections
to date have been better than for sev
eral years past. There has been col
lected, up to yesterday, 1782,819.63. com
pared with S402.0S7.51 for the same day
of 1918, an increase of S380.732.12 not
far from 100 per cent. .
This year there have been 16,801 pay
ments already made. For the same pe
riod of 1918 there were only 11,911
made, or 4.890 less.
The chief deputy in the tax office, E.
J?. Huckabay. can find no explanation
for the great increase except one of
prosperity and more money in circula
tion. More than ever before, he asserts,
are payments being made in full.
though it is not necessary to pay more
than the first installment, or one-half,
of a tax up to April 5, without interest.-
An increase of about 4 per cent in
the tax levy explains away only a small
part of the rush to pay up. The increase
in the levy amounts to about si.zo on
every thousand dollar valuation.
The final date for the payment of the
last installment on taxes this year will
be October 4, as the legal date, October
5, falls on a Sunday.
