14 THE OREGON . SUNDAY ; JOURNAL, PORTLAND, SUNDAY MORNING. . AUGUST 26, 1917, UPON FATE OF SMALL NA1NSM L DEPEND ATTITUDE OF ALLIES Entente Diplomats Voice Views on Possible Peace Negotiations, SERBIA NOT MENTIONED aCLrh Diplomat Poirts Out Omission la Pope's Peace Proposal Pntuxe Yeg-otlatlOBs Considered. By Carl D. Groat Vashngton. auk. 25. (L. P.) The rte of email nations, especially Bel gium and Serbia, must be determined fully before the allies will consent to any peace table gatherings. That answer came tonight from one f the foremost diplomats here, at the dose of a wck which still found peace talk and peace thought running In parallel channel with war work and war talk. Hit comment was elicited by a United Tress Interview today with the papal delegate, Bonnno, who expressed the belief that If there were an armls tlrA. the allies could obtain the rlh prixee. Alsace. Trent and Trieste, from the Tuetons by negotiation. Oorersment Heads Answer This statement was answered by American government heads with the ingle suggestion that It might perhaps be fruitful if the belief were inspired by actual knowledge of Teuton willing ness to make such concessions. But allied diplomats here did not find the hlr.t so consoling. They said flatly that something must be done about little Serbia. Mon tenegro, Helgium, the unfortunate storm centers at the start of the war before even the thought of efttlng about a peace table could be enter tained. The diplomatic authority pointed out that the pope had avoided any refer ence to Serbia In his message to the warring nations. Depends on Central Powers On the other hand men who have followed developments here closely for months, agreed that if Germany and Austria are actually ready to sur render Alsace. Trer.t and Trieste, then 1 1 deed Is the world close to the aim or satety ror cemocracy. There Is nothing to lndic-ite. how ever, that ISor.z.mo spoke on other than his own authority. The surrender of Alsace Lorraine would automatically shut off Ger many's ba.e of supplies for much of Its Industrial rich Iron nd dream of a Herlin-Hagdad route or of a Germany supreme in world trade, would be Impotent. The safety of democracy would be assured, for Ger many's wlr.gs would be clipped. Interview Labeled "Subtle" French officials here labe.ed FSon sano's interview 'entirely too subtle." If the Vatican really has a bona fiJe offer from Germany and Austiia to re linquish territory, the pope should say as much without reservation they aid. High Italian officials believed Bon aano'3 remarks were author zd by the Vatican. "B-t." they eaid. -Austria and Germany are not-ready to give any land now." The president now ehows every sign of taking his own time In answering the Pope's note. It has be-n matter ior oniy cursory consideration in cabinet sessions and perhaps the de lay is studied, observers suggested. Xasalans Express Views Russian diplomats here dismiss ltghtly the Pope's suggestion for 'an international fund for restoring dev astated territories, saying that it was a sop to certain minor elements of Russia. These diplomats suggest thai the Russian slogan of no indemnities did not exclude payment of compensa tion for the ruthless ruin of Belgium and Serbia. fa logging camps, due to sparks from donkey engines or carelessness of log gers. Others are attributed to Incen diarism. Still others are attributed to the carelessness of hunters. Mr. Elliott is of the opinion that persons who have been maliciously starting fires took advantage of the week the gover nor Dermltted the hunting season to remain open to enter the woods with out arousing suspicion. Immediately following the week that the hunting season was open more fires were reoorted than at any pre vious time (Juiios- the summer. Soldiers have been detailed by the fedetal authorities to patrol the for ests in search of firebugs. ' One of the handicaps in handling ths fire situation has been the short age of men available. In some ln staLces lumber camps have had to hut down entirely while all the men turned their attention to fighting fires. The organized deputy fire ward ens have been unable to devote as much time as the state forester would like to patrol work, as they have been forced to Join In the actual fire fight ing. Polk and Columbia Hit At the present time reports to the state forester show that the worst fires are in Polk and Columbia coun ties. The Polk county fires are old, but they keep breaking away from the control of the 'ire fighters. The Black Rock fire, which destroyed the lumber camp of the Willamette Valley Lum ber company, is again threatening the camp and timber of the Sp&uldini Logging company. Deputy Fire Warden Fuller of Polk county reports that he cannot get enough men to hold the fire in check whenever a slight breeze comes up. On Friday the blaze leaped to the top of the trees and for a time a crown fir raged. Another bad fire in Polk county Is burning on Mil; creek. In the timber of the Sheridan Lumber company. Be tween 50 and 75 men are fighting th3 two fires. Bad One at Treaholm Columbia county has several fires, but the worst one Is at Trenholm, where from 100 to 150 men are trying to combat the flames. The state for ester hai received no report today as to whether the fire had been placed under control. A bad fire Is burning in Yamhill county, northwest of McMinnvllle on the old Goucher road. This is a fire of apparent incendiary origin. The blaze was started in ?reen tim ber near the read and is doing some damage to good timber. A large crew is engaged in fighting it. ana the dep uty warden reported to the fctate for- ! ester that he thinks the men can now j hold it in check if the wind does not I rise. I The state forester had received no ; late report from the fires- w.nch were .started a few days ago on land In I Yamhill county selected for Belgian I ret-gees and h- assumes that they are nuw under control. Several new fires, of apparent In cendiary ensin, were reported Fri day by iJeputy Fire Warden Rice in EXAMINATION DATES SET FOR VARIETY OF GOVERNMENT WORK Salaries Range From $1200 to $3600 a Year; Much Technical Training Needed Federal Authorities Watch Edenbower, FEDERAL RESERVE'S PROMISE.

Reports of slanderous remarks made contrary to patriotic feelings by quite a number of residents cf that com munity during the last few days are said to be numerous. The postoffice and nearby buildings are said to be gathering places there, and as many as a dozen or more have been heard to express unpatriotic sen- : timents.

NEW CONDITION IS ADDED Specialists in Home Economics Named Demand Made State Banks Coma Zato System, Which These Have Hot Dono Because of Expense. Although the directors of the twelfth district federal reserve bank at San Francisco last April promised to give ingly derogatory to the United States7 Portland a branch bank, that promise government. Many complaints have , iias not 'et been kept, been made -and these are now before The promise to the Portland bank the proper authorities, who. it is said, ers was originally made without qualification. Later tha directors or the Twelfth district imposed the con dition that in cities where brancnes were to be establihed. it would bo necessary for the state chartered banks to Join tne reserve system. Nominally this condition has been met in Spokane, where a branch bank was opened in July. Seattle bankers i have given assurances to the dlrec- tors that the state banks of their I city will Join the system, and a ! branch is to be opened October 1. Up to the present time negotia ! tlons of the Portland bankers to se- cure establishment of a local branch have proven fruitless. The San I FYancisco officials still insist that I the state banks must come Into the I reserve systeji. So far only one state bank in Oregon, the Livestock I State bank of Portland, has become, i a member.

It took from TO to 80 men to put under control a bad fire which raged the last few days in the Berlin dis trict in the eastern part of Linn county. In IXuglas county small loss of timber has been reported. More than .0 men are reported to be fighting fires in Jackson county, while f.rL. bugs are giving consider able trouble in Josephine county, ac cording to reports being received by the state forester. Several fires have been set out in that county. A fire which is causing much trou ble is burning between Port Orford and Gold Beach, in Curry county.

The state law docs not recog nize the federal banking -'system re ! serve to the extent that' the same ' money could be used for both reserve purposes. In other words, state charter banks entering the federal reserve system in Oregon are obliged to maintain separate reserves.
