PITTSBURG. Sept. 20. The eve ot
the nation-wide strike in the steel in
dustry finds both sides in the contest
apparently prepared for the battle.
Final arrangements were rushed today,
the corporations paying much attention
to plans for guarding their property
and the union leaders continuing their
intensive campaign to organize unor
ganized men and urging others to stand
by the workers. Tonight there seemed
to be nothing to do but wait for the
test of strength on Monday, when the
strike will officially begin.
Expressing confidence that the
unions have not the power to compel
a general shutdown, officials of the
United States Steel corporation, the
main object of the attack of labor, and
of other steel companies said they will
blow their whistles as usual Monday
morning and try to operate their
plants.
Strikebreakers IS ot Wanted.
They frankly admit they will do their
best, and if sufficient men do not re
port, which they do not concede, they
will shut down again until such time as
they can command enough men to make
it worth while to start up again.
There is no talk of bringing strike
breakers into this district in the event
the unions cripple or close down the
plants. It is said the larger corpora
tions prefer to remain closed than
cause unnecessary turmoil that some
times follows the bringing: of strike
breakers into a community.
The strike order affects approximate
ly 200.000 iron and steel workers in the
inner and outer Pittsburg district be
tween Johnstown, Pa., on the east and
Youngstown, O., on the west. Union
leaders claim that a majority of the
men will follow the request of the
steel workers' national committee and
refuse to go to work Monday. They
assert that not only union men will be
in the walkout, but that they will be
joined by thousands who are not af
filiated with any labor organization.
City Officials on Alert.
Municipal and borough officials in
many parts of the Pittsburg district
today also prepared to meet the situa
tion and have taken precautions to
maintain law and order in their com
munities. Mayor George H. Lysle of McKees
port, who, union leaders complain, has
refused to permit labor organizations
to hold public meetings in- that city,
issued a long proclamation calling
upon citizens to support the constituted
authorities in their efforts to maintain
peace.
A report was circulated today that
the United States Steel corporation was
swearing in 10,000 of its loyal employes
as special guards to protect property
Corporation officials, following their
custom, refused to divulge what police
arrangements they are making. It was
learned, however, that the sheriff of
Allegheny county has had deputy
sheriffs at the corporation's steel plants

Baby Girl Hears Her Father Speak
for First Time When Treatment

LONDON, Sept. 20. '.Special Cable.)
There , have been many surprises.
both before and behind the scenes, in
the London Hippodrome, but nothing
more amazing ever happened there than
when, a few nights ago, Lewis Havens,
stagehand, uttered the first word he
had spoken for three years.
Havens' wife blessed him with a
child about two years ago. The little
one had never heard her father's voice.
Try to imagine the delight of his wife
when Havens embraced the youngster
and sajd: .
"Kiss your dad.
Havens was in the rifle brigade and
suffered shell shock during a bombard
ment on the Somme in September, 1916.
The shock paralyzed his vocal cords
and affected the muscles of his throat.
He was stricken dumb. Having been
discharged from the army, he was re
stored to his old place on the Hippo
drome stage.
He excited the - sympathy of Mrs.
Wanda Lyon, one of the principals at
the Hippodrome, who sent him to Frank
Horler, the chief masseur at Sir Fred
erick Milner's hospital for sufferers
from shell shock, at Hempstead. Mrs.
Lyon told Horler to exercise all his
skill on Havens and she would pay the
bills.
Intense was the astonishment of all
on the stage within hearing of Havens
when he announced in & clear voice
Just as he did before he went to the
front: .

Physical Force Made Measure
of All Virtues.

.Cable Dispatch to The 'World.)
BERLIN, Sept. 18. Willie Krause
likes to play best with soldiers. At
first they were made of wood and
hideously painted. They became tire
some. When little Willie went back to
his sister's dolls and had fun dressing
and undressing the white, fat frauleins
with the red cheeks and sky-blue eyes
that opened and shut, father said that
was nothing for boys.
And so. on Christmas eve, there
stood under the lighted tree two boxes
of tin soldiers. Then followed many
made of lead, which looked quite true
to nature blue dragoons, red hussars,
white cuirassiers with gold or black
breastplate, infantry, artillery with
"real" cannon, a, gray warship with
torpedo tubes; one box contained, a
marine brigade.
War Science Homemade.
Splendid! Willie soon knows every
uniform, every emblem of rank tans,
stripes, bands, stars, medals. On the
floor he holds parades, manueuvers,
starts naval battles and repulses at
tempts at coast landings. Little Willie
struts around in helmet, guard coat,
cavalry boots, with shining sword; and
when he grows older wears a sailor
suit and sailor cap, with legend, "His
Majesty's Ship Worth. He reads, de
vours books glorifying war and war
riors and which describe battles so
beautifully that only the glory is vis
ible, never the horror and carnage.
Strong; Boys Mowt Respected.
When after school hours the boys
play "robber and soldier" he doesn't
want to be a robber out to fight for
order and right. That the soldier al
ways fights for order and right is
never doubtful for him. And since he
early notes that among the school
boys the strong ones, who are good
at gymnastics and on top in a rough
house fight, are much more respected
than the weaklings, who often, al
ready wearing spectacles, are best in
Greek or mathematics, he draws the
conclusion that physical force is the
measure of all virtues.
He has to learn a lot. Because no
body knows what profession will be
selected for him. Little Willie Is
crammed full of the classics and prac
tical studies.
Coeducation Not Tolerated.
Coeducation, which brings girls and
boys together, and the common public
school, which at least, in the lower
classes brings together the children
of all social classes and castes, do not
exist in Germany. Therefore the boy
learns to know neither the feelings of
the other sex nor of the great masses
of the people. He is forbidden to dis
cuss things with the maid servant be
cause household discipline would suf
fer thereunder, and when he asks why
the janitor's son. though he has a
bright mind, was only permitted to go
to the "people's school" r.nd must now
already go to work In a factory, he

PICTORIAL COMMENTS BY CARTOONIST PERRY ON SOME
Teutons In Position to Consolidate
Commercial Advantages In
East, Diplomats "Say.
(Copyright by the New Tork World. Pub
lished by Arrangement.)
WASHINGTON. Sept. 20. Germany
will enter Into diplomatic relations with
the Russian soviet government as soon
as the Versailles treaty shall have been
recognized by three of the principal al
lied powers, according to the belief of
well informed allied diplomats here.
Great Britain already has ratified the
pact. France is expected to ratify it
this week, and Tokio advices state that
Japan will ratify It this month "with
out amendment or reservation of any
kind."
Germany Is In a position, according
to these diplomats' statements, to con
solidate her commercial advantages in
Russia as soon as the peace treaty with
the allies shall have become effective,
and It was further declared that British
commercial Interests are alarmed at the
prospect of Germany, without competi
tion, engaging the major trade of Eu
ropean Russia. Pressure is understood
to have been brought upon the British
government by English business inter
ests to change the national policy to
wards Russia in order that British com
merce will not be sacrificed in Ger
many. English labor also is said to be In
favor of resuming trade relations with
Russia immediately, but goes further
than British capital by demanding that
Great Britain cease to favor certain
Russian factions by furnishing them
with arms and munitions to continue
the war against the bolshevik!. These
diplomats look for the probable changes
in British policy toward Russia to af
fect the American policy and predict
that within a' few months trade with
European Russia will be resumed.

Wheat Is In Danger of Rotting.
LINCOLN, Neb..' Sept. 20. Governor
Samuel R. McKelvie today made public
a telegram he sent to Director-General
Hines of the federal railroad adminis
tration, urging that steps be taken to
relieve a shortage of railroad cars in
western Nebraska, where huge quanti
ties of wheat are said to be in danger
of rotting because of a lack of ship
ping and storage facilities.
' At Dalton,- Neb., the telegram said,
farmers have 1,000,000 bushels of
wheat, part of which must be disposed
of at once to avoid loss from inade
quate shelter and to give relief to
banks In that community.

VANCOUVER. B. C, Sept. 20. The

One hundred veterans who were up

A defective chimney is supposed to
have caused the fire.

WELCOMES ARE DISCOUNTED
President Said to Mistake
Hostilities for Support.
MORE SENATORS JOIN FOES
Receptions Generally Are in Keeping
With Position, But People
Want Some Reservations.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington, Sept. 20. What, has President
Wilson's appeal direct to the people
of the west accomplished?
That is the foremost question today
in the national capital. It is granted
that the applause has been generous
since he reached the cities bordering
on the Pacific, but how of the votes?
Nothing is worth while at the present
stage of the treaty struggle except
votes in the senate, and on that score
Mr. Wilson seems to be the loser since
his trip began.
First, consider Ohio. Until the presi
dent's visit to Columbus, Senator Hard
ing had given but mild expression to
his views on the league covenant.
Treaty Koes Multiply..
The presidential train had no more
than left the station until Senator
Harding delivered a speech In the sen
ate which removed doubt of his oppo
sition to the covenant in its present
form. The train moved on Into Indiana,
the president spoke and departed and
Senators Watson and New have been
urged by constituents every day since
to stand out for reservations.
Much was made of Mr. Wilson's visit
to St. Louis and Kansas City, but the
advices .which Senator Spencer received
from- home'were har he ' should, take
a stronger position against the league,
whereupon the senator Immediately an
nounced that only strong reservations,
not mild ones, would satisfy him. With
out such reservations, he said, he
would have to vote against treaty
ratification.
Omaha Meetlner ot Eneouraa-lns;.
There was nothing in the Nebraska
meeting to encourage the president nor
to frighten Senator Norrls. because the
reception at Omaha, the home of Sen
ator Hitchcock, the. treaty leader, was
the poorest meeting that Mr. Wilson
has had.
In Iowa he was hospitably received,
but Senator Kenyon, regarded as more
than half friendly to the treaty,
promptly announced immediately there
after that he would vote against the
pact unless radical reservations were
attached. Senator Cummings remained
unmoved. r'
No change was made in Montana's
votes except that Senator Myers, demo
crat and supporter of the president, has
been wavering since a few days before
Mr. Wilson reached Helena.
Idaho's Views Not Changed.
In Idaho no change could be expected
because Nugent, democrat, will sup
port Mr. Wilson under any circum
stances, but Senator Borah is irrecon
clliable. Anyway there was no'lting
about the partly filled tent at Coeur
d'AIene to cause a weaker man than
Borah to lose his nerve.
' Senator Polndexter has been on the
platform assailing the treaty prac
tically every day since the president
visited Spokane and Seattle and Seu-

of the shooting Judge Fitzpatrick said:

OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington. Sept. 20. "I am not certain that
I will oppose the bill promoting Gen
eral Crowder In recognition of his serv
ices, including the selective draft,"
said Senator Chamberlain today.
"I did not oppose the committee's re
port and whatever I have to say will
be said in the senate. I do not object
to honoring General Crowder In this
manner whatever I may think of him
personally, but I dislike the method of
honoring him In a preferred bill ahead
of all of the gallant officers who dis
tinguished themselves overseas. Thore
should be a general bill covering all
of them. Certainly an office general
should not be honored ahead of the
men who fought."
