-Paris. Dec 24. Definite results fol
lowing the Czecho-Slovak appeals for al
lied Intervention in the solution of the
controversy with the- Hungarians over
Slovahian territory, , In , order to check
the reign of terror and bloodshed, have
been secured. M. Benes, foreign minis
ter of the Czecho-Slovaklan republic.
who is in Paris, made the announcement
to me. General Franchet d'Esperey, com
mander of the allied forces in the east,
has ordered the Hungarians to evacu
ate Slovakia and to put an end to
bloodshed and terror. This action was
taken by direction of Premier Clemen-
ceau in accordance with the decision of
the allies.
It ii understood between the allies and
the . Czecho-Slovaklan government that.
pending, the final decisions of the peace
convention, all measures necessary to
maintain order in Slovakia should be
taken. Minister Sordar has been given
full power and authority to administer
Slovakia in accordance with the ex?
press demand of the Slovak deputies.
This status has been established with
out prejudice to the final arrangement
of the problem at the peace conference.
The Hungarians - are obeying the or
ders of the allied general, causing joy
to the Czecho-Slovaklan government of
ficials and also to the people. New
trouble is confronting the Czecho-Slovaklan
government, according to Min
ister Benes, because the Vienna govern
ment is violating the armistice by send
ing arms and ammunition into the
northern part of Bohemia for arming the
German population therein and also for
trying systematically to foster Bolshe
vism,, though without success up to this
time. M. Benes is preparing a protest
to the allies on this subject.
Paris. Dec J. By Mall) L NV S.)
It Is estimated that there are 5000 "Rue
Wilsons" in as many French towns and
villages, all - named in honor of . the
American- president. As - soon ' as . the
civilian population returns to a ; re
claimed town or village in the war cone,
one of their first acts is to establish a
Rue Wilson", between their shell-shat
tered homes.-.-.' ,"..",.-
Many i of these streets are scarcely
more than trails through heaps of debris.-maimed
by-the allies guns as the
armies of democracy pursued the Huns.
, French Poilus and British Tommies
also named streets in towns along the
front after President Wilson while they
were under fire. American doughboys
nailed - signs made f rom the tops of
cartridge boxes am. bearing the legend
"Wilson Ave." in many of the towns
where they were billeted.
Even tho German soldiers are. said to
have posted a sigh marked "Wilson
strasse" in a Champagne town, but the
sign was captured by a souvenir hunter.

Now that America's emergency need

regulars and enlisted , men seamen re

A letter received by The Journal from
a spokesman for the men In this service
follows
We. the naval militia, or the naval
volunteers of Oregon and - Washington,
would tike to have it known that we de
sire, and most justly we think, that we

earliest possible time, so that we may

Most of us sacrificed our school, col

at the moment the war broke over the
United States.
Of the first 70.000 men on active serv
ice in the navy, we were a part,- in-J

first 30, poo men of the reserve on active
service in the day.
Though the navy now has a person

discharged before us. We. think this
unjust. As we were the. first to serve
the United States for liberty, the United
