In one of his state papers Mr. Wilson, former college nrnfsnnr anA rhu near nf the I world's greatest literary men. used j the words "with a view to." which was one time in history when editors ana copyreaders did not have to daring- to change it to read "with view of." All this, however. Is qolte asld from questions of statesmanship, uc as the burning question of who shall be appointed postmaster of Happy Hollow. The hungering for postnias trrshlps ia almost equal to the n satiable thirst now evidenced for jobs in the office of the prohibition di rector. No decision has been reached as to whether the Wilson order of April, 1917, putting all presidential postmasters under the c'vil service shall be revoked. Representative Fees of Ohio, chair man ef the republican national con gressional committee, is taking a ref erendum of the members of congress en the question of having the orde revoked. It is suspected that this poll of the representatives Is being taken at the instance of Postmaster General Hays. Outcome Yet Eacertatn. No information is forthcoming as to the results of the referendum, bu it is rumored that some of the elder statesmen who have had experience with patronage are opposing the rev. ocatlon of the civil service order. On the other band, the newer representa Uvea are said to express the desire that they be given an opportunity to reward their friends. This may not be determined until congress comes back in extra session some time next month. .1 1 i I i i HEARTBEAT HEARD MILES MAItYEIOUS AMPLIFXTSXJ . AP PARATUS DEVISED. WILLIAM BIRD. tCopyrleht, 192L by The Oregonian.) LONDON. March 12. (Special Cable.) England is rubbing her eyes and is beginning to ask what hap pened at the conference between the Germans and the allies here, this week. The break with Germany was a total surprise, but even more aston izhing to Englishmen was the readi ness with which Prime Minister Lloyd-George accepted it, and even seemed to court it. He made no seri ous attempt to reach a compromise this time, as he generally does. Com promise, in fact, is ' much of a set tied policy with Mr. Lloyd George that when he falls to attempt one people instinctively begin to wonder whether he is seeking some ulterior object. ' Ilrrak With France Faced. Inquiries made by the writer at Rovernmental quartera elicited the opinion that Great Britain faced the choice of breaking with Germany or breaking with France. The French parliament had plainly instructed Premier Brland that it could not tol. erate further concessions; therefore, if the Germans did not yield, he was tinder the necessity of resorting im mediately to annexation, or his gov ernment would have fallen before the attacks of ex-President Poincare and tho.se who favor annexation of Rhine territory. But this explanation was unsatis factory to British liberals, who point ed out that Lloyd George could at least have made the break appear more inevtiable than it did. Instead they declared he adopted a most un compromising attitude at the outset. when, after hearing the introductory speech of Dr. Simons, and without waiting to read the text of the Ger (nan proposals, he retorted with need lessly provocative words which rendered difficult any German con cessions. ' Break Ia Regretted. His refusal, moreover, to grant additional time for preparation of a new German offer could hardly have been due to the fear of Independent action on the part of the French, since the conference was obliged, on account of the Turkish problem, to remain in session until the end of the week. Liberals here seem to regret par ticularly that the break should have come just as Mr. Harding was in augurated president and before an op portunity arose to ascertain the at titude of the new administration. Might not the United States have found some other way out? In any case, isn't It risky to take drastic action when another week of nesotiations might have given the United States an opportunity to ex press its opinion? J. Deft Purpose Is grea. .Jt now appears to these liberals, however, that the decision of the al llr to resort to force was not taken with the idea of neglecting the United, piieiMCee PROPERTY SOLD but with the deft purpose or . as Device Will Function as Far Telephone Wires Will Trans mit Human Voice. WASHINGTON, D. C. March 1!. An amplifying apparatus described as so delicate as to permit a physi cian in one city to make a stetho scopic study of the heart action of patient hundreds of miles away. was demonstrated today to a group of army and civilian medical men at the army signal corps laboratories. The principle Involved Is similar to that used in transmitting President Harding's inaugural address to the great crowd that extended far beyond the ordinary reach of the human voice. The demonstration was directed by Brigadier -General George Squier, chief signal officer. The stethoscoptc apparatus with electrical connection was placed over the heart of one of the laboratory assistants and the heart beat was amplified many thou sands of times, emerging through phonograph horn to - be heard dis tinctly and studied by the physicians in a room eome distance from that in which the subject was located. The device may oe used in connee tlon with any telephone wire and will function, it was said at the labora tory, as far as the telephone wires will transmit the voice in ordinary conversation. 'A special heart transmitter has been designed which rests by its own weight over the patient's heart," said General Squier in describing the ap paratus. "The passage of the blood through the different valves of the heart causes vibrations in an air chamber which faithfully reproduces all of the various actions. These are transmitted over the wire to an am plifying apparatus attached to large horn which projects the sounds throughout the Miilding."

States, 'Influencing American policy. This View is strengthened here on read ing the dispatch of the Washincton iixrrespondent of the London Morning .Post, who cabled that the action of the allies had made it practically im 'possible for the United States senate 'to adopt the Knox resolution or make a separate peace with Germany. In other words, does Lloyd George Ibelieve that the renewal of war at ,the present time is the best means of 'consolidating once more the allied :front and bringing America again Unto line with allied policy? .1 Does the British prime minister be lieve he has placed President Hard ing in the position where be cannot withdraw American troops from the Rhine, and where Mr. Harding must 'Join the war councils of the allies, from which he might be crapged into . a participation In the measures taken to enforce the terms of the treaty ' f Versailles? ! Deeper Game Suspected. K Has Lloyd George, who only a few 'ays ago was being charged with a 'diplomatic defeat at the hands of ii clever Brland, really been playing 'la deeper game than even his friends - vuspected? ,' These are the questions the British , liberals are asking, and for an answer they keep close watch on Washing ton. Should the supposed maneuver ,! of Lloyd George succeed and the United States be turned from Ideas ot a separate peace into a plan of co ll operation with the allies to execute ithe Versailles treaty, the apparent 'defeat of the Br'tish prime minister 'jet London would be turned into the Greatest victory of his career.

OREGON CITY, Or., March 12. (Special.) Two of the most impor tant land, deals made in Oregon City for some time were closed Saturday, when some of the most valuable Main-street property was involved. Frank Busch & Sons have pur chased the store building adjoining the Busch furniture store and also the building occupied by Ruconlch & Koppel's meat market. Mr. Busch and his sons have a five-year lease on the city hall property, and it Is the intention of the firm to remain at that location, but will erect a handsome two-story structure on the property Just purchased, which will be of concrete and modern throughout. The Bank of Commerce will erect a handsome bank building at Seventh and Main streets where now stands the store recently vacated by the Oregon City shoe store and the Brunswick restaurant. Another important deal is the pur chase of .the property, consisting of 35x105 feet at Seventh and Main streets, . owned by Miss Catherine Barclay. W. L.

Franklin hieh school defeated the baiem mgn school auintet 26-19 tonight in the final game of the state interschol astic tournament and thereby walked off with the 1921 basketball cham pionship of Oregon. . With its light ning floor work, ''its sensational checking and some almost impossible shots, the game kept the largest basketball crowd that ever packed the Salem armory cheering from start to finish. The Quakers' stone wall defense. coupled with their fierce attack, led by Captain King and Hobson, was the principal cause of Salem's downfall. The 1920 champions did some beauti ful shooting, .but they found diffi culty in eluding Kelly and Jones. The latter also distinguished himself by slipping behind the Salem defense for the two field baskets that started Franklin's rush. Foula Shot With Accuracy. "Evle" Jones, Salem forward, who has played the last three games with broken nose, shot the goal that opened the fireworks. For 12 min utes this stood as the lone field bask et, none of King's numerous long tries finding the hoop. Throughout the first half, Ashby .and King shot fouls with uncanny accuracy, but Fielder Jones' clever work aided materially in boosting the score to 11-6 for the period. The teams battled through the last half at the same dizzy speed, but King and Hobson had their shooting yes working and popped in the long baskets at a steady rate. The uakers excelled in working the ball aown tne lioor and used every op portunity to break through Salem's hitherto impenetrated defense. Kins; Ia High Point Man, Every man on the Portland quintet scored during the session. King being nigh point man. Ashby and Staley were the leaders In Salem s offensive play, but they had hard luck in hitting the basket and missed several fairly easy shots. Staley was credited with the fea ture shot of the night, a basket made from behind the center ring and sail ing over the iron ceiling supports. Notwithstanding the hard games of eaob quintet this afternoon, every man kept going at lightning speed, making, the tilt the real feature of the most successful state tournament ever conducted here.

The crack Baker high school quin tet, winner over Franklin, McMinn--ville and Molalla, forfeited all rights to participate in the finals because of the ineligibility of Blakeley, the phenomenal center. This was due to the low scholastic standing of the Baker star, who has been playing under the name of Stoddard. Coach Dewey, admitted this morn ing that Roy Stoddard, the Baker center, whose playing has been the sensation of the tournament, was not Stoddard at all, but Blakeley. Salem high, traveling at a dizzy pace in tnis arternoon s semi-linals, walloped the McMinnville five. 31-18. The floor work of the Salemites was the best seen in the tournament while Ashby and staley executed many beautiful throws. Osburne and Agee again outshone their McMinnville teammates. Lineup: Salem.
