before retiring from office, saved th
faces of those who are so frequently
corrected for writing: that somethin
is don "with a view to." 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.

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 .

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.

WILLAMETTE UNIVERSITY, Salem
Or., March 12. (Special.) 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. Lineup:

Baker Forfeits Ia Rl-ht.
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
