THE SUNDAY OREGONIAN, PORTLAND, NOVEMBER 13, 1922 STRONG ARMY. PM mmm Vor!d Outlook for Peace Is Declared Dark. EUROPE NOW MENACED National Civic Federation Itec- ommends Co-operation With Ijeague of Xations. -NEW YORK, Nov. 11. Mainte nance of a strong army and navy is the only means of assuring the safety of the United States under present troubled world conditions, was urged in resolutions adopted today at the closing session of the National Civic federation confer ence of international affairs. " "The outlook after four years of peace is dark Indeed," said a dec laration drawn up as preamble to the various resolutions adopted. ""With one accord we turn our at tention to the problem of how civilization can be saved from im pending ruin. "The fourth anniversary of the armistice is a significant time for the holding of a conference to con sider the question of America's in ternational relations and America's military policy. America took a leading part in the great struggle and must bear her share of the re sponsibility for the settlement that followed. Dissension Menaces Europe. ' "That settlement has not brought peace and the states of Europe and the near east, so far from compos ing their difficulties and recon structing their community life, are trembling on the edge of the abyss, threatened with bankruptcy, mu tually suspicious and torn by enmi ties and dissensions. . "The conference recognizes that the United States must play the part in the world to which eminence its cultural, political and material de velopments entitle it." - The resolution dealing with the army commended the present na tional' defense act, but urged that the standing army be increased to 150,000 enlisted men and 13,000 offi-. cers as advocated by Secretary of "War Weeks. -The navy, said another resolution, sliould be maintained in every way on a basis of equality with that of Great Britain and five-thirds the strength of that of Japan. 'The conference also advocated Adoption of a consistent American policy in international relations, divorced from partisan politics and bringing to bear upon the other na tion's the influence of agreement for justice and peace. Work With League -Urged. CWhile warning against attempts to; secure world peace by artificial organization, "susceptible to polit ical intrigue," th'e conference rec ommended: "Co-operation with the league of nations 'in all lines of humanitarian endeavor.' " , "The conference," it was declared, "holds the Monroe doctrine to be an outstanding feature of sagacious American policy and believes that this country should accept and ful fill the obligations and responsibili ties as well as the rights involved therein." It was recommended that the president of the National Civic fed eration appoint a committee of 100 or more men and women from the delegates "to secure, organize and furnish to the membership of these various bodies accurate and unbiased information on important interna tional relations and movements, such information to serve 'as au thentic material for study groups and aid in the dispensation of sane and just American opinion on our national duties and our personal re- sponsiDinues toward foreign n tlons." Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, who presided, declared that America's entrance into the league of nations would have prevented Turkey front trying to assume the role she has taken in European affairs. : Bishop James J. Cannon Jr. of the Methodist Episcopal church of Nash . vllle. Tenn., delivered a militant ad dress in which he declared that the duty of the United States was" to oppose with armed force the Turk in Europe. is in Columbia university commu nity. After the marriage the young folk will remain in New York long enough for Mr. McDonald to com plete a school year at isew xorK I university, after which they will live in Portland, where Mr. McDon ald wijl finish his medical work at the University of Oregon school of medicine. Miss Saunders and Mr. McDonald met about two years ago at Elk Lake. Or., whither she had been sent by The Oregonian -to "cover" the meeting of the Oregon Sportsmen's league, and to which Carl Shoe maker, fish and game commissioner, had summoned Mr. McDonald, who at the time was district warden for central Oregon. Being the only girl at the gathering, Miss Saunders was showered "with courtesies and fa vors, and from the large number of men there her fancy fell upon the district warden, who is a typical man of the west. Before she re turned to Portland and on the eve of departing for South America, she had plighted faith with him. Miss Saunders left Portland in 1920and for more than a year did newspaper work in South America, where her experiences as night edi tor for the United Press for South America at Rio de Janeiro brought her into many novel situations. She is recognized as the pioneer of women newspaper writers from the United States to that field, and many ex-residents of South America now seek her out in New York. Six months ago she was brought to the New York office of the United Press and recently resigned to join the Standard News m m WORRYING FRENCH Violent Reversal of Feeling Noted in Paris. ANOTHER WAR FEARED IS 'CISSIE" LOFTUS AKRAIGXED OS MORPHINE CHARGE. Star In America and Great Britain Married to Dramatist After Three-Minute Courtship. NAVY OF S 6,000 PREDICTED Acceptance of House Figures for fl 1923 Expected. -WASHINGTON, D. C, Nov. 11. A prediction that the 1923 navy budget will provide for an enlisted personnel of 86.000, the total fixed by the present law, was made today by Chairman Kelley of the house aub-committee which has the appro priation under consideration. Navy department officials are understood to have favored a larger figure. .'"We made a thorough examina tion a year ago as to the number of men we believed necessary to oper- - ate the navy up to the arms con ference ratio, and went into it thor oughly," Bald Mr. Kelley. "But the house took a different view and put tnrough an enlisted strength of 86,00 as suggested by President Harding. :- Without speaking for the com mittee. I believe that since the ques tion was settled so recently and after such thorough consideration by the house, the judgment of the house ought to be accepted as final. Certainly nothing has developed, ii my opinion, to make a change in th naval strength necessary." LONDON, Nov. 11. "Cissie" Lof tus, for more than 20 years a well known actress on the stages of both Great Britain and the United States, was arraigned Friday in police court and charged with being an unau thorized person in possession of morphine and atrophine. She ap peared to be ill. Through her counsel she pleaded not guilty. The magistrate admitted the ac tress to ball and' adjourned the case for a week. NEW YORK, Nov. 11. London dis patches telling of the arrest of Marie Cecile (Cissie) Loftus for the alleged illegal possession of drugs brought to the United States the first news in years of an actress who has starred for years in this country and England on the legitimate and vaudeville stages. Born in England, she showed at an early age an aptitude at mimicry. London audiences hailed her as s child prod'igy for her Imitations of Sarah Bernhardt and other celebri ties. American audiences were fiim ilarly delighted with her. Finally she left vaudeville for drama, being notably successful as co-star with Sir Henry Irving in v "II i were K.lng" and "Pe ter Pan." Cissie" Loftus always has been a picturesque figure. She. startled her followers on both -continents when, during a vaudeville, engage ment In London, she eloped with Justin Huntley McCarthy, the En-g lisn dramatist, from whom she was divorced in America some years later. CHICAGO, Nov. 11. Dr. A. H. Wa terman, second husband of "Cissie" Loftus, said today he hadno in formation regarding her arrest in London or her recent movements. Dr. Waterman and Miss Loftu were divorced about ten years ago. The marriage of Dr. Waterman and Miss Loftus was the result of a childhood romance of the days when both were beginners on the stage. Dr. Waterman deserted the foot lights in 1902 to study medicine here. The wedding followed a three minute courtship, Dr. Waterman giv ing "Cissie" that time to say "yea" to his telephoned proposal. PRIMARY KEPT INTACT Nebraska Voters Prevent Changes in Law; Picketing Stopped. OMAHA, Neb., Nov. ll. Nebraska voters demonstrated Tuesday that they are not in favor of any tamper ing with the direct primary law. They voted two to one against rati fication of a law passed by the last legislature which would have made it possible for state conventions to select delegates to national nomi nating conventions of the various political parties and to name na tional committeemen. A law against picketing during strikes and another to require or ganizers of new banks to show they are needed before charters can be had were approved, while a meas ure for rural registration of voters was defeated. Near-Panic Strikes Markets and Collapse of Exchange Makes Financiers Gloomy. BY WILLIAM BIRD. (Copyright, 1922. by The Oregonian.) PARIS, Nov. 11. (Special Cable.) Unfortunately for the white race, Mustapha Kemal Pasha is not so easily disqualified as Battling Slki. We have seen a violent reversal of French sentiment against the Turkish dictator. Now the entente stands recemented, ready to oppose with all the weight of its diplomacy Kemal's demands. Doubt is growing that the heaviest diplomatic guns can avail against the Turkish entrenched positions. The optimism of the recent plays is given way to war talk. Some miracle can prevent t pos sibly. But apparently the best in formed people of Europe believe that we are nearer a bloody con flict than at any 'time since the armistice. A wave of fear is running through France- that the latest and newest opportunity afforded to the Balkans and the near east to engage in hos tilities may give Germany her re venge. The collapse of French ex change, which has touched the low est point since the spring of 1921, is now thought to be largely due to the widespread doubts in banking circles that continental peace can be maintained. Something approaching , panic struck the French markets early this week. As the exchange con tinued falling, the query was raised as to what it all meant. It was checked, temporarily at least, by Lord Curzon's reassuring speech, which emphasized Anglo-French solidarity. The armistice celebration today brought a convenient breathing spell in which public confidence may be restored, but the pessi mistic predictions may bring forth soon events which must prove most disquieting to European- peace. MURRAY WILL SETTLED First Wife of Dead Millionaire Receives Cash for Claim. .BUTTE, Mont, Nov. 11. Accord ing to the executor of the James A. Murray estate In Montana, set tlement was effected yesterday be tween the heirs and the first wife of the dead millionaire, who con tended that the divorce obtained by Murray years ago was not legal for the reason that she was not noti fied of the action.
