PARTY DISCORD APPARENT
Uncertainty Over Candidacies of

'1 Cause of Marked Uneasiness.
' OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington. July 19 Senator Chamberlain's
invitation to the White House last
Wednesday and his cordial reception
by President Wilson carried more sig
nificance than has been attached to it.
That meeting may well be regarded
as the first phase ot the democratic
national campaign next year, because
It marks the initial step of the presi
dent in a campaign of conciliation
which is intended to lay the ground
work for uniting all elements of the
democratic party for the fight in 19-0.
Upon returning from abroad after a
six months' absence, save for one brief
look-in on Washington last March,
President Wilson found his party's
morale at the lowest ebb since before
President Finds Discord.
Accustomed to being driven, not led,
for the last eight years, his party lieu
tenants in the senate and in, the house
and around the offices ot the demo
cratic committee were groping about
aimlessly and striking out darkly at
each other. Without their chief to point
the way, mark their cadence and com
mand their every motion they were dis
integrating and "dopy."
Something must be done at once, the
president was told, even if it was nec
essary for him to disgress fo ra mo
ment from the league of nations fight,
to which his eye had been solely di
rected on his return. He was told that
his attitude toward Senator Chamber
lain had hurt the party and had built
up theOregon Senator amazingly-.
Chamberlain looms Big.
The president was further informed.
It is said, that Senator Chamberlain, by
reason of having rebelled against ad
ministration inefficiency in Washing
ton and brutalities practiced against
the country's soldiers at the front,
stuck out in the suppressed and shrink
ing area of the senate known as the
democratic side like a mountain in the
desert. ,
Mr. Wilson had heard that Senator
Chamberlain had come to be known
among the almost 4,000,000 common sol
diers and a large percentage of the sub
ordinate officers as the only democrat
who was willing to champion their
Tights and demand an accounting from
en arrogant secretary "of war and his
autocratic advisers for wrongs per
petrated against them in the name of
military necessity.
I Soldiers' Votes Counted On.
i ' And before President Wilson could
ict to find an excuse for meeting Sen
ator Chamberlain, out came an an
nouncement from Senator William H.
Xing of Utah that a movement had
been started to make Chamberlain the
democratic nominee for president next
year because .Chamberlain was the only
democrat who could win the soldier
vote.
The president was delayed In meet
ing Senator Chamberlain by the leak
ing out of the news in the meantime
that Senator Hitchcock., erstwhile lead
er of the league of nations fight in the
senate, feeling that he had been
snubbed, had left in a huff for an indef
inite stay at his summer- home in NevO

HHIsboro Records Fail to Reveal
Much-Desired Information Re
quired for Passport.
HILLSBORO. Or., July 19. (Special.)
Lost One birth certificate.
Captain William N. Barrett, who in
May eloped and married the wealthy
Alice Drexel, heiress of the Drexel estate,-
wrote, here this week to the
county clerk for a record of his birth
certificate, so that he might be ahle
some, day to sail to Europe with his
bride, for he is required to furnish
such a certificate before he can set his
passport.
But the much-wanted record cannot
be found.
Captain Barrett, since his marriage
to the heiress of the vast estates in
Philadelphia, New York and Newport,
has been enjoying his wedding trip at
Lake Placid, N. T., and all is now placid
with the Drexel parents-in-law, it
seems, although at first they were bit
terly opposed to taking into the family
fold a stranger as a son-in-law.'
Young Barrett, who is the son of a
former mayor here, wanted to be cer
tain that the county clerk would fur
nish him the desired information, so he
sent a check for $2 as fee. but the
official had to send the check back,
with regrets that the Information could
not be given, as it was not to be had
on the books.
At the time of the elopement and
marriage young Barrett was featured
in the eastern press, particularly the
New York papers, as one of whom so
little was known as to have been able
to win the hand of the rich Drexel
girl, whose admirers had been counted
in the hundreds, with counts and dukes
of Europe among them. He told the
story that he was the son of a Wash
ingtonian, which led the effete east
to believe he meant the District of
Columbia city. He undoubtedly meant
Washington county, Oregon."
Barrett not many years ago was di
vorced from his first wife, who was
Miss Kathleen Baillie of Tacoma, now
living in Seattle.
FRENCH AVIATRIX KILLED

U. S. CONSUL IS DELAYED
Authority to Go to Germany "Waits
on Treaty Ratification.
WASHINGTON, July 19. Though
British and French consuls already have
entered Germany for the purpose of reestablishing-
trade relations with that
country, the state department here has
been unable to do more than organize
its own consular service for similar
functions, pending: authority to send
them into Germany.
This authority cannot be obtained, !n
the opinion of the department, until
the peace treaty has been finally rati
fied. BREWERY STOCK UNDER BAN

Reports From International Offi
cers Awaited With Much Inter
est by Unionists.
When patrons of the Pacific Tele
phone & Telegraph company take down
their receivers tomorrow morning, they
will be greeted with a salutation bear
ing the union label.
At their meeting ln"the Selling-Hirsch
building yesterday afternoon, striking
operators voted to comply with orders
received from their vice-president. Nel
lie Johnson, of San Francisco, to return
to work at 8 o'clock Monday morning.
Registration will take place as the
workers report for dutj.
Striking electrical workers will meet
at 2 o'cl6ck this afternoon to take ac
tion on Instructions from L. C. Grasser,
International vice-preslden.t. and It is
said to be likely that they, also, will
vote to return to work.
Settlement Terma In Doubt.
Some uncertainty was expressed at
strike headquarters as to the nature
of the settlement that is In prospect,
the Issue of retroactive pay being the
chief point involved. This is left in
charge of the wire control board, it is
said, and messages received from San
Francisco and Washington. D. C..' are
taken as Indications that demands of
workers will be granted.
C. K. Donovan, who represented the
electrical workers at the California
conferences. Is expected to arrive in
Portland this morning, and will make
a detailed report at the meeting of the
organi7ation this afternoon. In a tele
gram to the local yesterday, Mr. Dono
van advised all men members to comply
with orders from the international
vice-president.
Some opposition to returning to work
was shown at the operators' meeting
when it was learned that demands had
not been granted in full, but this dis
appeared when explanation was made
that retroactive pay undoubtedly would
be granted. While the vote to return
was not unanimous, it was nearly so,
according to report.
Wire Mn May Hold OoC
That there will be strong opposi
tion in the ranks of the electrical
workers -was ' predicted yesterday by
some members of the body, who assert
that they are ordered back under the
wage scale that was in effect the day
they walked out. Sir. Donovan's re
port, however, may overcome this ten
dency toward violation of Mr. Grasper's
instructions, and it in considered rea
sonably certain the electrical workers
will follow the lead of the operators.
"We were ordered out by our Inter
national vice-president." said Mrs.
Agnes Johnson, president of the tele
phone operators' local, following the
meeting, "and we have been ordered
back by the same authority, so there
seems nothing to do but comply."
Miss Lillie Schunke. who represented
the operators at the California confer
ences, is expected to return this morn
ing from the south with a complete re
port of those deliberations.

The most definite Information, how
ever, is expected to come some time

"Shantung has sent tens ot thousands

lives were sacrificed. Now the reward
for their service Is to turn Shantung's
economic and political rights over to
Japan. What will thoso soldiers find
when they go back to their native
land? Japanese enterprises on their own
proiertles. Can we expect these men
w ho have experienced the terror of war
on European battlefields to rest satis
fled? "The Shantung settlement has raised
a new issue in the far east. Japan Is
satisfied with the clause and will at
tempt to carry It out. but the Chinese
people witl never acquiesce."
The envoys said that not only was
Shantung regarded as "sacred terri
tory." because of the birth of Chinese
civilization there. but that its people
would not allow it to be dominated by
a foreign power because of their sense
of Justice and desire for self-determination.
