THE SUNDAY OliKGOXIAX, TORTLAND, DECEMBER 2.", 1921 3 EfiyS' GREETINGS GIVEN 10 AMERICA Friendship Expressed and Hope Put in Conference. PEACE SPIRIT LAUDED Impetus licliiiul Washington Ses sion Is Declared by Japa nese to I3c Genuine. WASHIXHTON, D. C, Dec. 25. (By the Associated Press.) Heads of the foreign delegations participating In the armament conference, transmitted throuKh the Associated Press tonight Christmas greetings tQ tne American people.

The three Chinese delegates, Well ington Koo, Alfred Sze. and Chun? liun-Wanff. Joined in one statement and Vice Foreign Minister Hanihara of the Japanese delegation issued statement to newspaper men In which he extend d greetings not only to them but to the people of the United States. The expression of the British delegation was embodied In a state nient Issued last night by its chief. Arthur J. Balfour. Friendship In BxprfHftrd. All expressed friendship to the American people, and the hope that the conference would ensure peace to the world. Baron Kato's message of greetings said: "It givea the whole Japanese dele gation true pleasure to send a mes sage of greetings to the American People at this unprecedented Christ mastide. It goes without saying that unless a most genuine spirit of peace moved the nations that are repre sented at Washington, no such happy or such quick achievements would have been possible. "As to the value of the agreements that have already been reached they rpeak adequately for themselves. Nothing that any delegate could say would be of any use if the facts were not sufficient evidence of the ample agreement of the greater powers. Those facta will say to the world in unchallengeable terms that it was in no vain pretense of amity that the several countries sent their 1 epresentatives to Washington In rtply to the Invitation of President Harding. We came, we listened, we heeded hi a spirit of mutual sym pathy and mutual accommodation. All n.ade concessions to the viewpoints of the others. And the result has been a promise such as the world has never known before of peace among these greater nations for decades to come and let us hope, forever." Srhamer Send MfxiRKc, Senator Schanzer sent the following iiiessage: "I am glad to send today to the American people my affectionate and cordial greetings. There is no day in the year in which men feel so much brothers as on the day of holy Christ mas. "Indeed this festival which is BO dear to us, strongly recalls to our minds the principles and duties of the Christian religion. These prin ciples and duties are now inspiring ttie work of those who are endeavor ing to lay flown a more solid basis for the maintenance of peace in the world and for the establishment of friendly relations between the peoples founded on reciprocal tolerance and on a more serene discussion of their mutual interests. "God granted to the American people riches, strength and political (jreatness. The American people ehow that they can nobly use these ) gifts for the welfare of the entire ''humanity. Italy follows this benefi cial work with the greatest sympathy and with the most resolute decision of efficaciously collaborating In this purpose. To the strong, gentle and hospitable people of the United States, 1 address my warmest wishes for their future and for their best and ever prosperous fortune." C'hlneae Cuatom Heralled. The three Chinese delegates in their message said: "The coming of yuletide serves to recall to the mind of the members of the Chinese delegation the time-honored custom of observing the New Year holiday in China, which is char acterized by the spirit of peace and good will as it obtains at the Christ mas time in the western countries. Young and old gather together in the home of the oldest living branch of the family to celebrate the festivity very much In the way that Christmas is celebrated in the western homes. "Three years ago at this time the world was still witnessing the closing scene of the struggle that had dis turbed the peace of the world. But today nine powers, most of whom were participants in the conflict, are gathering here In Washington to do away with the causes of war and to lay the foundation of a permanent peace. It is to be sincerely hoped that, with the accomplishment of the conference, the expression, 'Peace on earth, good will towards men,' which is particularly appropriate at this festive time, will henceforth be the guiding spirit among the nations. "The Chinese delegation takes this opportunity to extend Its most cordial greetings to all the participating nvembers of the conference, to the other nations of the world and par ticularly to the people of the United States, whose hospitality the Chinese delegation is now enjoying with much gratification." Ing to the people of the United States: f "I rejoice in the progress made by the W'ashington conference and in the concurrence of the American and British delegates in this momentous step forward along the path to peace and good will among the nations."

Thousands of Acres of Logged-Off Areas in Callam Valley, Wash., Are In Undertaking. CHEHALIS. Wash. Dec. 24. (Spe cial.) J. E. Hauskins of Seattle, pres ident of the Logged-off Land De velopment company, with headquar ters In that city, was in Chehalis yes terday on a business trip and while here outlined what is perhaps the most ambitious land-clearing project that will be undertaken in the whole Pacific northwest during the year 1922.

The lands belong to the Mac Leay estate In Portland, which also owns extensive logged-off land hold ings in other parts of western Wash ington and western Oregon. Not only will the Sequim tract be cleared of stumps, twit Irrigation ditches will b dug and water put upon the land for the propective buyer who may wish to invest in land In what Is the best known and most successful irrigation project in western Washington. An ample supply of water is available from the Dungeness river, which has its source in the Olympia mountains. The enormous crops produced by farmers on Sequim prairie, where Ir rigation has been an accomplished fact for several years, is known far and wide INVADERS ARE REPELLED cal and textile Industries and no coun try from the Rhine to the Black sea, from Lake Constance to Siberia, can buy even bare necessities with money of International value. Only a non-political conference of world economists can solve this greatest of all problems of the day But all of our distress and worry must not blind our eyes to the splen dor of the star which led the eastern kings to the manger, nor deafen our ears to the shepherd's hymn on the field of Bethlehem. Humanity, in deed, has taken a step forward. Again a child is born. It moves gently from Its manger. Seldom has humanity been able to look at Chrlstmastlde with more hope of world betterment than Is promised by the present peace on earth. ioexoe: IOE 301 Extremists Under Said Zagloul Pasha) Win Support of Masses.

CAIRO,. Egypt, Dec. 24. (By the Associated Press.) A mob today at tacked the government offic in Gizeh, a suburb of Cairo. British troops were rushed to the scene. The losses were given as five killed and 20 wounded. While the disorders were proceed ing in Gizeh, Cairo itself remained quiet, and no disturbances from the provinces were reported with the ex ception of minor troubles at Tanta, 50 mires northwest of Cairo. The authorities conveyed to Suez today- six followers of Said Zagloul Pasha, the nationalist leader, forcibly removed from the city yesterday, whom Field Marshal Allenby, the British high commissioner in Egypt, bad ordered expelled from Cairo. Practically all schools in Cairo have been closed and students are endeav oring to bring out government offi cials, many of whom have gone on strike. The military frustrated at tempts by the students to set fire to government property. Calmness la Exhorted. Many followers of Zagloul today condemned the acts of destruction which attended his removal from the city yesterday and exhorted the na tion to remain calm. The rupture of negotiations be tween the Egyptian delegation in London and Lord Curzon. the British secretary for foreign affairs, late In November looked upon in most quar ters here as likely to create another Ireland in Egypt, because of the in tense nationalistic feeling that has been aroused among the Egyptians. The Egyptian problem today , Is considered by close students of the situation as far worse than ever, judged by the tone of the native press and the number of anti-government demonstrations in the large cities. Extremists Win Support. Meanwhile the extremists under Said Zagloul Pasha are again coming to the fore, and seem to be winning the support of the masses. Great hopes were built on the Lon don conference, but they were shat tered by military considerations. The advices received here were that Great Britain had agreed to grant Egypt independence an three conditions, first the appointment of advisers, for the ministries of finance and justice; second, control over foreign relations and third, the retention of an army of occupation. It was said the dele gation had accepted all three condi tions, the only point of difference be ing that relating to the place where the troops of occupation should be stationed. Adly Pasha demanded they be confined to the guarding of the Suez canal, but Lord Curzon In sisted that they he scattered in the canal zone, as well as in Alexandria and Cairo. In many well-informed quarters, the question Is being asked can Eng land afford a state of anarchy in Egypt, In view of the trouble now brewing in all parts of India, as well as Palestine, with the Mohammedan element so strong in all? An Associated Press dispatch from Malta yesterday said two British warships there had received orders to proceed Immediately to Egypt. This followed receipt of Cairo dispatches reporting disturbances In connection with the forcible removal to Suez of Said Zagloul Pasha, a nationalist leader, by the British authorities. Demonstrants Smash Windows. ALEXANDRIA. Egypt, Dec. 24. (By the Associated Press.) More than 100 of the city's street-lamps and some slion windows were smashed today by small groups of demonstrants. Police forces and ar mored cars dispersed them. Other wise Alexandria remained quiet, but with an undertone of excitement. Hcgimcnts Bendy to Move. MALTA, Dec. 24. Two British regi ments here, it is understood, are be ing held in readiness to proceed to Egypt. WORLD HELD BETTERED (Continued From First rge ) GEKMAXY MORE CHEERFUL People See Barriers of Isolation Be ginning to Break. BERLIN. Dec. 24. (Special cable.) Christmas will find Germany more cheerful than was expected. Al though the conference in London be tween Premiers Lloyd George and Briand produced no moratorium, the Germans see the beginning of a aeries of conferences which will bring Ger many back into the concert of na tions. The mere fact that Walter rtathe nau was present at the London con ference has been sufficient to break the sense of Isolation which has weighed on the Germans and kept them under a constant strain. Now they see the barriers that have iso lated them beginning to break. What eased the strain and made them feel that a new era was be ginning was that no threat was made of a hurried invasion of Germany dur ing the moratorium discussion. The Germans have not yet realized that they owe this to Chancellor Wirth and his policy of fulfilling the treaty obligations. But it has silenced the vitriolic reactionaries who can not for the moment find cause to attack Wirth. All place hope on the coming eco nomic conference at which Germany also will put her feet under the table. Knowing that England would im mediately invite them to the con ference, if it were not for France, they do not feel much peaceful good will toward France, and this is the jarring note in the Christmas cheer. The Hamburger Fre-mden oiau sas: "France wants the policy of the mailed fist, wants Germany to pay the bill of lading To the mailed fist, which Briand showed the British and also the Americans, there is only one answer another mailed fist, but it is questionable whether Lloyd George is ready to show this at Cannes." Public opinion here, less bombastic, is more inclined to go on a Christ mas spree, than get seriously to work, while the breathing spell lasts, in the attempt to straighten out interior finances and to "plug the leak which is crawling past 750.000,000 marks dally much coal this year as in 1913, and has given employment to everybody free of military service, nevertheless is obliged to declare that she cannot pay the next billion dollars of repara tion money. But this was expected. Despite her Industry, Germany has attained but 60 per cent of her pre-war exporta tion. Whence, then, can she draw the strength for continual payment of such huge sums?
