THE SUNDAY OREGONIAN. PORTLAND. DECE3IBi:R 31, 1932 7 FRANCE'S POSITION IS WORSE li 1922 German Reparations Pay ments Decline. , BIG DEFICIT IS CREATED Nation Continues to Borrow Heav ily to Repair Ruins; Inter est on Debt Unpaid. BY ANDRE TARDIEU. Former French High Commissioner to the United States. (Copyright, 1822, by The Oregonian.) PARIS, Dec. 30. (Special Cable.) Does the year end better than it began? - Neither for France, nor for Europe can the question be answered affirmatively. ... Throughout 1922 France continued to borrow to repair the ruins caused by German aggression. She already has spent in this way for recon struction and pensions more than SO.OOO.OM.OOO francs plus expenses of the army of occupation. The debt service absorbs over 13,000,000,000 francs annually, not counting our foreign debt, upon which we have not yet paid any interest. Big Deficit Shown. All that we have collected from Germany is 1,720,000,000 gold marks. These receipts, which amounted to an average of 63,000,000 monthly in 1920- 21 fell to 22,000,000 during 1922. Reparations in kind, except coal, are going badly and as a consequence France must borrow continually while taxes have risen from 4,500,000,000 francs in 1913 to 21,000,000,000 in 1922. They cannot be increased indefinitely. Even so, the debt service shows a deficit in the 1923 budget of over 4,000,000,000. This shows our situation during the past year grew worse instead of better. Will the coming Paris 1 conference show improvement either financial or political? It would be rash to say so. The discord between France and Britain has been demon strated in the reparations commis sion, where Bradbury, the English representative, with strange par tiality refused to agree with his colleagues that Germany had failed in deliveries in kind, although this fact was obvious. Lloyd George Blamed. Lloyd George, by imposing 'sacri fices on Franc for two years with out offering the slightest compen sation, is the prime author of the crisis in Anglo-French relations France, by her pro-Turk attitude in 1921- 22, committed similar errors which happily were somewhat re trieved at Lausanne. Nevertheless, London and Paris are far from intimate agreement, which is an indispensable condition to European equilibrium. Considering this dis association of the entente Premier Mussolini asked, not without rea son, wherein the disagreement con sisted. ,. . Those conquered in 1918- are showing disquieting activity in 1922. The Rapallo treaty revealed the closeness of Moscow's relations with Berlin, whereof a thousand new symptoms are coming into evidence. There also is a close re lationship between the Kemalists and the soviet and through them with Berlin. Worse yet, the re venge idea, which course has ani mated these three governments, seems capable of practical realiza tion since the Turks efaced their defeat, reinstated themselves, retook Constantinople and eastern Thrace and eliminated effective control of the straits by the western powers. Russia, Germauy Awakening. Russian and German nationalism, encouraged by Kemalist successes, is awakening. The German press is filled with provocative para graphs. Tehitcherin's attitude at Lausanne is equally disturbing. All this is happening in an un organic Europe. Only the little entente countries seem to under stand that safety lies in unity and this unity enables them moreover to restore themselves economically. On the other hand, the status of the. relations between them and the western powers. England, France, Italy and Belgium, is undefined. We have lived from day to day without defining any base for argu ment and not preparing for any. There is no continental policy any more than a policy between the continent and the Anglo-Saxons. In 1914, Europe, despite its shaki ness, was better ordered than in 1922. . There is ample room in this chaos i or great eitorts and great results, but there can't be results until there is a will for them. Will 1923 bring it? . .

The court held that the bank was within its rights when it indorsed the instru ment, and that there was no law under which the plaintiff could recover the arout involved. BY HARRY B. CRITCHLOW. DAYS that immediately followed the battle of Mons found the . forces of both the British and the French in retreat before an enemy vastly superior in numbers. Lanrezac, upon whom perhaps im properly had been placed the re sponsibility for the French defeat at Charlerol, was still in commana oi the French fifth army and was di recting its retreat before the forces of Von Bulow. Generals Langle de Cary and uf fey, who had been defeated in their attempts at battle in the Ardennes, were falling back before the forces of the Duke of Wurtemburg and the crown prince of Germany. It -was General Joffre's first intention to withdraw his troops on the Rheims Amiens line. With that idea in mind the French carefully retreated. Rear guard actions characterized the withdrawal and some of these took considerable toll on the enemy. However, as conditions were, a con tinued retreat was necessary until more favorable battle' conditions presented themselves. Not all was going well with the ",-rman troops. Von Kiuck in com mand of the first army was having his troubles. The intelligence ser vice of the German army in the field had broken down completely. He was unable to learn full particulars regarding the strength of the enemy and the communications Between ms forces and those of Von Bulow on his left were not the best. Von Kluck was a self-made man, had been with troops all his life and had little knowledge of staff work. He was not fully in the confidence of those in German headquarters and not tne best of feelings existed between him and Von Bulow. German effi ciency had not properly organized aliaisbn between armies in the field and headquarters and as a result such commanders as von iiuck. Von Bulow and Von Hausen were acting more or less independently of headquarters, which had been estab lished in Luxemburg. The retreat of the British was much more interesting than that of the French. On the day of August 25, 1914, Sir John French, command ing the British, decided to put the forest of Mormal behind him. This was a stretch of woods and under brush ten miles long and six miles wide. Roads through the forest were not familiar to the British command. If he was to move his troops by way ot the east side of the forest he would find the. roads few and exceedingly difficult for travel. To move by the roads of the west side would mean that a gap would be made between the British and Lanrezac's forces that would court disaster for both armies. As a consequence Marshal French sent Haig by the east roads to Landre- cies and Maroilles, while Smitn-Dor-rien was to take the roads by the west side in the direction of Le Cateau. The British commander was running a risk in thus establishing a ten-mile gap between his forces.J Von Kluck was informed of the gap between the Britisn corps shortly after it was made. Why he did not take advantage of it was later explained by him when he said that Marwitz's cavalry, which had been sent to his command, arrived too late to make the attack. If this be true it undoubtedly saved, the British. Haig negotiated his withdrawal around the forest with little diffi culty and had little more than rear guard actions with the enemy. Smith-Dorrien marched his division to positions around Le Cateau dur ing August 25. Sir John French had left the manner of retirement prac tically to the discretion of his com manders. As a result Smith-Dorrien was confronted on the morning of August 26 with the question of whether he should retreat immedi ately or make a stand and fight. His troops and their commanders were anxious for a fight, as their previous contacts with the enemy had convinced them that they were superior in infantry attack. As Smith-Dorrien was making his plans Von Kluck attacked his cen ter, and the British commander could do no more than fight. The British had a force of 55,000 men while those of Von Kluck numbered approximately 140,000. Le Cateau. according to the idea of the German commander, was an -excellent place to administer to the British that de feat he had planned for but failed to administer at Mons. Von Kluck was surprised to find the British in position at Le Cateau. His plan of battle was similar to that of Mons, frontal attack of artillery and then envelopment movements on both flanks. Smith-Dorrien's troops were en trenched along the top of a ridge. Artillery of the British, though out ranged and outnumbered, made a brilliant stand against the enemy's infantry attacks. For seven hours the British forces stood the attack and inflicted severe losses to the enemy. However, superior numbers were forcing the British back. It became plain to Smith-Dorrien. shortly after noon, that he must withdraw. The problem of with drawal before a superior opponent was perplexing. However, orders were isued and under the cover of artillery the troops withdrew from the field. So successful was the withdrawal that only those batteries of artillery that had been put out of action by enemy fire were re maining upon the field. Smith-Dorrien had lost approxi mately 8000 men at Le Cateau; while the enemy had lost approximately twice that number. Sir john French in his first announcement, praised tne work of his corps commander for showing fight against the Ger mans at Le Cateau and credited the stand made responsible for the suc cess of the troops of his command making a successful withdrawal around the forest of Mormal. - Later, however. Sir John French changed his verdict and stated that the ac tion of Smith-Dorrien had been dis obedience of orders. The question has been argued pro and con and the majority of the authorities are of the opinion that Smith-Dorrien was justified in making the stand that he did and that he could hardly have done otherwise. Smith-Dorrien continued his retreat and joined with the forces of Haig around the forest of Mormal. On August 29 Marshal Joffre and Sir John French met and discussed future plans. Joffre suggested that instead of establishing a line of battle from Amiens to Rheims the forces continue the retreat and take a stand across the Marne, This met with French's approval and the withdrawal before the enemy con tinued, until finally about Septem ber 3 the last force had crossed the river and there were placed in po sition for battle. The long retreat had had a de moralizing effect upon the soldiers of both France and England. Day after day they had been forced to retreat under the hot sun. They knew not why, for they were not kept Informed as to the causes for their continued flight. They were unable to believe that they had been defeated, for in the battles they had with the enemy it seemed that they had more than held their own. To the British the situation was perplexing in the extreme. These soldiers had gone from the trains to the battle of Mons. After seeming fuccess they had. fallen back and QlixeriVeieraii had continued their flight day after 1rv without anv aooarent reason. 1 The French, in retreat, hair-not been harassed as much as the British, but the long continued march, with each day bringing them closer to Paris, had a bad effect. To the average .common soldier of both armies the most sensible act of the series of nerve-racking days waa the or(jer for a halt and en- trenchment made after the troops had crossed the Marne. Veterans of D company, Fourth Engineers, have set an example for other company or regimental units to follow. When they were to gether in the days following the signing of the armistice at Gemlen, Germany, they established "The Third Hole," whioh they termed an "unliterary journal." At various times and in various places since those days in Germany editions have been published. The men have been enabled to keep in" close touch with each other and to add the cement of affection to those bonds of friend ship that were made in stormier days than these. Several veterans of the D company outfit reside in Portland. The last issue of the "un literary journal" was sent out a week ago from West Alexander, Fa.; and Walla Walla, Wash. Robert Harris who for the past two years has been finance officer of the American Legion of Grants Pass, was a visitor in Portland last week and called on state headquar-, ters. He stated that his post has already made plans for a big pro gramme of entertainments for the remaining winter months. - An old-fashioned basket social was held in Fossil under the aus pices of the American Legion on Christmas night. Following the dis posal oi the baskets there was a dance. At the last meeting of the Ameri can Legion in Independence officers ior the new year were elected as follows: A. T. iTun n. AjL. Miller, vice-commander: -A. v Becker, adjutant; Chris Burright, sergeant-at-arms; G. C. Smith, fi nance officer, and J. C. Henderson, historian. Harry Farrell, adjutant of Hood River post of the legion, was in town for a few hours one day last week and paid his respects to Adjutant Nelson at state headquarters. Other callers of more or less fame in le gion activities over the state were Howard Gildea, former commander of McMinnville post, and H. E. Mc Clelland, one of the leaders of the legion in central Oregon. Scout Young camp of the Spanish American War Veterans will hold their installation meeting Tuesday night at the courthouse. The aux iliary will join with the camp and joint installation ceremonies for the officers of the two organizations will be held. At the last meeting of the camp F. H. Smith, E. R. Lund burg and Nicholas Pierangel were appointed as a committee to pur chase colors for the Spanish-American WTar Veterans' camp in Astoria. The colors of this organization were destroyed by the recent fire. Newly elected officers of Portland post of the American Legion will be installed Tuesday night at the meeting to be held in the clubrooms at Fourth and Washington streets. Dr. Eugene Hockey will take his chair as commander and the other officers will be installed as follows: Pat H. Allen, vice-commander; An drew Koerner, adjutant; Daniel Upp, tmance officer; executive committee men, Eugene Openheimer, Kenneth L. Cooper,- Dr. J. G. Abele, G-. W. Tates, Ben W. Morrow, Dexter Quisenberry and . John Beckwith. The meeting would ordinarily . be held Monday night, but due to New Year's falling on that day it was postponed to Tuesday night. , The next meeting of the executive committee of the state department, American Legion, will be held in Salem January 12, according to UNIVERSITY OF OREGON ART EXCELS IN QUALITY OF WORK Sculpture, Painting, Textile Designing and Architecture Developed by Students Regarded as Superior and of Great Promise. BY LUCY DODD-RAMBERG. I T WAS with a greafdeal of pleas ure that I accepted the invita tion to be on the jury together with Mrs. Wortman for the art de partment of the University of Ore gon. I am acquainted with the work done in the art schools abroad the excellent ones of Paris, Vienna and Munich and knew I could not ask for anything to approach the superiority of these institutions. The student at Eugene is gaining the background of that which the university has to offer in litera ture and science, as well as doing his art work. The greater was our surprise at the excellent quality of the work exposed, which compares, especially in design, witb much done in these art centers. '... The sculpture under the guidance of Avard Fairbanks showed some unusually sensitive work, especially in composition. A mother and child group by Beatrice Powers stands out for its warmth and delicacy of feeling. A vigorous little figure called "Ambition," the work of Frances Dubois, received the second mention, while Lester Chaffee with a relief, 'The Relay," expressed a great deal of motion and ability. There were four very good por trait reliefs done by Mrs. Lydia Hodge, Mildred Heffron, Mable Johnson and Pauline Chase, in which one felt the striving toward in dividuality, the result being pleas ingly successful. Miss Johnson shows especial promise among those of the life drawing class, , which is under the direction of Albert Schroff, Fairbanks and Hafen. "Here the students are doing earnest work. Among the still life pastels and water colors there were delicate bits CAUTION Wrappers of the New Year's Edition of The Morn ing Oregonian issued MONDAY, JAN. 1, will bear this label: New Year's Edition ftortlanJi, Price will be 5 cents a copy; postage, 6 cents in the United States and possessions. All other foreign postage will be 12 cents. notices that' have been sent out by Harry N. Nelson, adjutant. The meeting will be held in Salem at that time, due to the fact that tne legislature will be in session. Those who will attend are: George R. Wilbur, commander; Fred E. Riddle, vice-commander; P. W. Cookingham, finance officer; Harry N. Nelson, adjutant; Frank James, chaplain, and the following committeemen: Claude Bristol, Mai Dano, Tracey Savery, Lane Goodell and C. ' W. Woodruff. " . All war veterans in Enterprise were guests of the American Legion at a rally held a week ago. The affair was a success and aided ma terially In uniting the veterans of the world war with those of the Spanish-American and civil wars. i Basketball is now demanding the attention of several central Oregon posts of the American Legion. Teams are being formed in Red mond, Prineville and Bend and they will be out after games in a short time. E. B. Stewart is to be the com mander of the American Legion in Roseburg during 1923. This was decided at the election held last week. Other officers for the year were chosen as follows: E. O. Post, vice-commander; Leon McClintock, adjutant; Harry Booth, finance of ficer, and Guy Gordon, historian. Right after the first meeting a membership campaign will be started. Heppner post of the American Legion is preparing for the greatest year of Its career, according to Forby Greamba, the new com mander. Other officers of the post are: , John Higiey, vice-commander; Spencer Crawford, adjutant, and Walter Moore, finance officer. -Impetus has been given the American Legion's efforts to con trol the millions of dollars left over in war chest funds, and it is pre dicted that the legion will win 100 per cent of its cases, following the decision of the Ohio court of ap peals as announced by Gilbert Bett man, department commander of Ohio, through the national head quarters. The court of appeals decision turns over to the legion post of Ohio the principal of a war chest fund involving $54,000. This is the third victory for the legion in such cases. These cases established precedents for the collection by the legion of the residue of money accumulated by various organizations during the war for the benefit or soldiers, sailors and marines then in the fighting forces. The higher court has made the legion's stand stronger than ever by holding the legion to bear the same relation to the world war as did the Grand Army of the Republic to the civil war. Lemuel Bolles, national adjutant of the legion, explained the nation wide effects of the decision: "The court has even gone beyond the legion requests in that the trustees in the lower court asked that the fund be held for 10 years and the incomeused under super vision of the American Legion for 10 years, then the principal be turned over to the legion. "The court of appeals, however, voluntarily held that the principal of the fund in question be forthwith distributed to the American Legion posts of the state, at the same time adding that the United States gov ernment would take care of the dis abled." The two lower court decisions establishing the legion's right to these, funds were in Athen county, Ohio, tried in Cincinnati, and at Vevay, Ind., the latter involving a $5000 fund. In the Indiana case the trustees were attempting to use the $5000 for a county nurse. They were enjoined by the court from such use, and the money was given to trustees designated by the legion for the purpose of erecting clubhouses for the local legion posts, which would stand as, permanent war memorials in the county. L. of well-directed observation. Espe cially interesting is the work done by the students of design. Every one of the things exhibited in this line was surprising for its orig-" inality, symbolism and color com bination. The influence of the Warner collection is felt on every hand. Under the guidance of Albert Schroff the students are assimilat ing the best civilization can offer and the result cannot be too highly esteemed. Theory and practice of decorative design, under Albert Schroff, exhibit one drop design by Beatrice Morrow which is very beautiful golden dragons on a splendid blue back ground. The group has every rea son to be proud of this, as well as a circle designed by Mabel Johnson. John Snook gave a strong bit of work and originality in his border. Among the designs for textiles we find some exquisite results. The branch is under Miss Maude Kerns' guidance. Gladys Smith recalls all the beauty of the fall coloring bound in sympathy and rhythm of design in an all-over pattern for silk. There are designs for velvets which recall the beauty of the ancient looms of Genoa and Florence. The problems given for the arrangement of lines for a square tile, and of shapes for round tile in color, are solved in a highly successful mari ner, the result showing feeling for rnytnm, symooiism and originality. On the floor above the school of architecture has its exhibit. This is one of the most interesting branches of the university, one of which every Oregonian has reason to be proud. We hardly realize how high this department of the university stands. It is under the direction of Ellis T. Lawrence, dean of architecture, a man of rare at tainments whose whole soul is (3tttptn wrapped up in the wont, with W. j B. Wilcox' in its faculty. There is a vital spirit expressed in all this group exhibits, the most in teresting being perhaps the prob lem given the senior class, a monu ment to civilization. The problem has fired the imagination and the results are unusually fine in con ception and execution. Everyone in Portland would be interested in seeing these and should feel under this guidance how high this school of architecture stands among the very best institutions of its kind. We do not realize that it competes annually with the Beaux Arts, and that the students have taken the highest rewards of the Boston In stitute of Technology. When the sons of the fir-clad hills and fertile valleys of Ore gon are competing with those born and reared among the best archi tecture has offered for the last thousand years, and are competing successfully, does it not seem as though Portland in the future must reach a degree of perfection, archi tecturally, due' its natural beauty which is second to none? Monday evening in the chamber of commerce of Eugene, Albert Schroff opened the exposition of his work done in Carmel this summer, with a reception to his friends. It con sists of about 50 canvases of oil and water color paintings, prin cipally subjects of Carmel gleam ing ; sunshine and purple shadows, blue skies and opalescent waves, shadowy trees and emerald pools all treated in his vigorous vibrant technique. It was a privilege to see these, for Mr. Schroff not only is well known in the east for his marines, but is at the very head of the profession with his cartoons for stained glass. It is fortunate that Eugene has such a man at the head of the art department. His I wife, Lucy Schroff, also Is well known for her delicate miniatures, having studied under Laura Hills, who is no doubt the first American miniaturist. In closing I cannot help men tioning the delightful spirit of hos pitality at the university. It seems as though each one felt it his or her special duty to make one feel as happy as possible that every one is anxious to understand the other's standpoint. This spirit ra diates from President and Mrs. Campbell. Can "there be a greater donation to culture? , Sunday the girls of Hendricks hall, under Miss Gertrude Talbot, enter tained at tea. The poise with which they received their guests and pre sided at the tea table was delight ful and a tribute to the work Miss Talbot is doing and which is as im portant as many other branches of education. After all, we send our children to college not to cram a quantity of knowledge, but to fit them for useful lives, to make men and wom en of them who will know and stand up for the real values of life. We wish them to be brought in contact with men and women who have these standards and this sure ly is the privilege of the student at Eugene. City Development Shown From 1851 to 1922.

FITILE DISEASE CARRIERS TRACED Paralysis Spread Is Laid to Rats and Fleas. OUTBREAK IS HELD DUE Harvard Professor Tells Scien tists That Case Is Similar to Bubonic Plague. CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Dec 29. The conviction that infantile paralysis is spread by rats and fleas, just as the bubonic plague is spread, was ex pressed by Professor Charles T. Brues of Harvard university in an address before the medical science section of the American Association for the Advancement of Science to day. He indicated that there may be another serious outbreak in the United States soon, possibly during 1923. "The animal reservoir to whioh the finger of suspicion points is the rat, and the insect intermediary, the flea: exactly the combination which we know to be responsible for the perpetuation of the DuDonlc plague, said Professor Brues. Epidemics Are Intermittent. The epidemic prevalence of par alysis, he said, had been strikingly intermittent "with a tendency to exacerbation every second, or, more notably, every seventh year. If- this frequency is repeated we may soon expect another serious outbreak in the United States, possibly during 1923, and if such should come to pass it seems very probable that a world-wide epidemic wave or polio myelitis is under way, similar to the present tropico-demic of plague which began at about the same time. Practically all epidemics of the disease, said Dr. Brues, occur dur ing the summer. Food Industries Influenced. Transmission of disease nbt only to other people but also to animals and fish, with a potential influence on the food industries, has to be considered by the United States public health service in its attitude toward immigrants, Professor C.,W. Stiles of that service, revealed in an address today also before the medical section of the association. He explained the reason for the policy of deporting Asiatic immi grants suffering from the Asiatic liverfluke disease. This type of disease, he said, had been known since 1879, but the qure of only one case appeared to be re corded. The disease, he continued, in its natural course in Asia passed successively from man to snail, then to a fish. Snails and fish of closely related varieties existed in this country and it was probable that if introduced here the disease would be transmitted to them. Juveniles Are Studied. Dr. J.' E. W. Wallin, director of the bureau of special education and professor of clinical psychology, said that a 12-year study of 3600 juveniles of all grades of intelli gence and the observation of thou sands of parents of mentally de fective children had led to the con clusion that most cases of feeble mindedness, insanity or epilepsy rests in the ancestry. General Harry Taylor of the United States army engineers' corps, speaking on the problem of con troling floods of the Mississippi and Missouri rivers, said that reforest ation of the watershed would not be practical for this purpose. To bring about a reduction of one-half in the flood discharge, he said, two square miles of forest would be necessary for every second foot of reduction, or 400,000 square miles of forest along' the Missouri and 100,000 square miles at the headwaters of the Mississippi. t Dr. G. F.
