less dispatch today.
There has been no decision aa yet on
the resignation.
Belief was expressed nere ui&t uxe
chancellor action assured a speedy ac
ceptance of the allies' surf armisuce
terms.
The German radiogram explained that
Prince Max desired to leave office, "In
view of the present parliamentary sit
uation." It is possible that In the future the
kaiser will not appoint chancellors of
Germany and that the heads of the Ger
man government may be elected as in a
republic according to opinion current
in some circles here.
Prince Max Is quoted In another Ger
man radiogram as addressing the Ger
mans abroad as follows:
"Do not abandon trust in the German
people. The victory for which many of
us hoped has nof been granted to us,
but the German people haver won a
greater victory. They have conquered
themselves and their belief in the jus
tice of might."
A news agency dispatch from Amster
dam, which gave the Berlin Lokal An
zeiger as authority for the statement,
quoted the kaiser as telling German
Socialists that he would not abdicate
because it would produce complete an
archy and a reign of Boshevlklsm in
Germany. The kaiser said he would not
assume responsibility for ."such a ter
rible state of af fairs or hand Germany
over to the entente."
Berlin Disturbance Denied
Berne, Nov. 9. (By Agence Radio to
the I. N. S.) An official statement re
ceived here today from Berlin admits
that telephonic communication between
Berlin and Frankfort has been inter
rupted, but declares that it is purely a
military measure. The statement as
serts that there are no disturbances In
Berlin. The streets there are reported
quiet and the factories are being oper
ated as usual.

Attorney General Decides Public
Service Commission Has No
Authority in Cases.
Salem, Nov. 9. Because of the pre
cedent ss In the- Dallas water case,
H. V. Gates, chief owner of the water
plants at Heppner and Prlneville, can
not obtain increased rates through the
public service commission, according to
an opinion gven the commission by As
sistant Attorney General J. O. Bailey.
In the Dallas case the city was seeKing
a reduction in rates and Gates opposed
it. carrying the matter into the courts,
The supreme court held that under the
terms of the agreement between the
cty and Gates the cty was an owner of
the plant, although it had but a small in
vestment in it, and therefore the com
mission was without lurlsdlcton.
In the Heppner and Prtnerilie cases
Gates is seeking increases in rates, con
tending that the commission has jursdlo-
tion to grant them, but the attorney gen
eral points out that the agreement be
tween those cities ami uses is almost
identlal with the Dallas agreement and
therefore the commission is without
jurisdiction.

V.IIVE
All Parts of State Alive to Greater
Necessity for Help During
Demobilization.
Declaring that the period for war
emergency measures has almost passed,
and with it the need for releasing men
for wartime industries, the Industrial
welfare committee Friday night ruled
that women may not be employed In
cigar stands after 8 p. m.. as petitioned
by cigar men and the Anti-Blue Law
league.
' This applies only to cigar stands
where tobacco alone is Bold, and not to
candy and news stands. ' Wilson T.
Hume, attorney for the cigar men, said
the restriction should be remo-ved, since
it was originally made to prevent girls
from working near saloons. Mrs. Mil
He Trumbull, secretary of state child
labor inspectors, contended women
should not be permitted to sell cigars
anywhere.
Bishop Sumner suggested a plan pro
hibiting women In candy stores and ho
tels from selling tobacco after certain
hours in the day. This will be. passed
upon at the next meeting of the com
mittee.
Otto Hartwig of the United States
employment office, and Wilfred S
Smith, state director of the United
States employment service, testified
against the need of supplanting men
with' women.
A limit on the weight of articles em
ployers may permit their women em
ployes to lift will be. considered at the
next meeting of the committee to be
held after the ban on public meetings
has beenremoved.

TO BE IRONED OUT
AT PARIS CONFERENCE
Minor Differences in Aspirations
of People to Be Settled Prior
to Peace Conference.
Washington, Nov. 9. (U. P.) Balkan-
Slav-Central European nationalities are
planning to assemble in Paris shortly
to delve into conflicting territorial and
nationalistic claims in central and south
eastern Europe.
The admitted purpose Is to give these
recently enchained peoples an oppor
tunity to iron out minor dlffrences in
aspirations to prepare to coordinate a
workable program for the peace con
ference. Chiefly among the Issues are :
Conflicting claims of the Jugo-Slavs
and Italians in Istrla and the Adriatic.
Alleged trickery of Hungary, acting
as a tool of Vienna, to lure Bosnia and
Crotla Into an alliance.
Disputed Hellenic aspirations in Albania.
Molding of Serbian Jugo-Slav pro
gram.
Fear of d,upliclty on the part of Hungary
in her dealings with the Jugo-Slavs has
been expressed by Italian diplomats, as
well as by Czecho-Slovak and Balkan
representatives here.
It Is the diplomatic opinion that the
Serbian problem will require the detailed
attention of the cqnference. Sentiment
seems to have crystallized on a strong
Jugo-Slav state to embrace all of Serbia,
Bosnia, Croatia and Montenegro.

What Oregon Is asked to understand
before the wax work drive begins next
Monday morning Is that greater, not
lessened need, exists for the services of
ths seven great welfare organisations as
peace dawns.
Bed Cr(i to Support
Drive directors over the state report
tht tvervona is thoroughly alive to me
added responsibilities attainment of an
armistice will thrust upon the Beven big
organizations united In the war-work
cause. Thoughts of homesick, idle
Yankee fighters "killing time" in Euro
pean countries, where moral standards
are lower than in the United States, will
elicit magnanimous response in funds,
the leaders forecast.
That Red Cross chapters even would
contribute, if their members could see
the work being done by the organiza
tions asking for support, is shown in
ths following telegram from Henry P.
Davison, chairman of the American Red
Cross, which has been received by Ira
F. Powers, publicity director for the
United War Work campaign in Oregon :
"Having spent nearly five weeks
among our men along back of ths lines
in England. Francs and Italy. I have
had opportunity to observe the work
of the seven welfare organisations.
Certainly every chapter of ths Red
Cross within the United States and, in
deed, in all other parts of ths World
would contribute if they could appreci
ate its importance.
"Our 2,000,000 men are far from home
in a strange land, and need, as men
never needed before, Just the things the
seven organizations supply. I am there
fore confident that the entire Red Cross,
conscious of its obligation, will cooper
ate with, enthusiasm and zeal in the
coming campaign."
Colambla Coaaty Loyal
Chairman Charles Wheeler of Colum
bia county has telegraphed that letters
have been sent out by him calling at
tention to the "sacred duty which every
man. woman and child In Columbia
county owes the soldier sons and broth
ers" and to the "stupendous work of
tha United War Workers, multiplying
in every direction in the war stricken
countries of Europe."
"Donations to this great fund." Mr.
Wheeler states, "are to be worthy of
generous Christian citizens to brave
American soldiers sufficient to meet the
needs of these seven great organisations,
enough to help feed the thousands of
famished victims that are being released
from prison camps, large enough that
each can feel at least a small fraction
of the sacrifice for the soldier that the
soldier Buffers for us."
Assurances in plenty that up-state

sibilities create have reached state

Complete returns from Umatilla, Baker

creep up and pass Judge Bennett's lead

Salem, Nov. 9. The seals committee
of the Capital Typographical union has
served notice on the stats printing board
that an increase In the wars scale has
been adopted, to become effective Janu
ary . 1919, and. If any:pb)ectlon Is found
to u. a conference is requested.
The stats printing-board will Ignore
the notice, as the boafd has consistently
refused to officially recognize a union
tn any way in connection with the stats
printing plant, although only union
printers are employed In the plant and
the state Is paying higher wsges than
union scale
On various occasions ths union has
sousht recognition from the state, but
so far ths state printing board has re
fused to givs It. The present notice,
coming from the union committee, is
taken to mean that the union is arain
roinr to attempt to force the state to
officially recognise it and enter into a
rerular union arreement.
The time set for the new wage scale
to go Into effect is on the eve of rhs
when a large amount of printing must
be don for the legislature.
The minimum wage in the new scale
Is $1 a dav. whereas ths state Is now
navlng $5.!;. The first night shift i
I8.no as against 15.75 now, snd second
night shift Is $7.
Last summer the stst printing hoard
refused to meet with the committee
from the printers union, but Informed th
state printers they would meet them
as stat employes. The printers agreed
to this and th board then granted
the wage Increases.

Foeh Cannot Change Terms
Washington, Nov. 9. (L N. S.) Field
Marshal Foch has th power, should he
believe it wise, to make changes in the
general phraseology of the armistice
terms which he delivered to the German
plenipotentiaries. His authority, bow
ever, does not go to any change in the
terms themselves. They are absolute
and not subject either to debate or modi
fication.
State department officials volunteered
this information when asked why the
actual terms of the armistice are with
held. A copy of these terms is now In pos
session of the state department, after
having been approved by President Wil
son. Granting authority to change the
wording of certain clauses was so that
Field Marshal Foch might he able to
meet anticipated requests of the German
delegates, according to the understand
ing here.
Meanwhile, the state department has
no word of the progress of the negotia
tions. The belief that the 'actual de
cision whether to accept or reject would
not reach this country until Sunday at
ths earliest was growing in official cir
cles, aitnougn - aamitteoiy mere was

Future Depends on Peace Moves
While In London Mr. Lockley was
stricken with the Spanish Influenza and
had a two weeks' battle with that
malady In a London hospital, during
a part or wnicn time it was aountrui
which would be' the victor, the ."Flu" or
the Tatlent He Is back on his ' feet
again, however, a little paler and a
good deal lighter In weight, but still
as full of "pep" as ever.
Mr. Lockley is on leave form active
service until November 20, and his
stay in Oregon after that date depends
largely upon the result of the deliber
ations now going on in Berlin over the
armistice terms submitted to the Ger
man nation by Field Marshal Foch.. If
peace, comes, Mr. Lockley may stay at
home. If peace does not come, he will
head back to the front line activities
