DISPATCHES FROM NATION'S CAPITAL INJURE PRESIDENT JParis Paper, Backing Clemen r ceau, Prints Long Article in , 1 Which Policies Are Attacked. DELEGATES ARE INTERESTED Peace Commissioner Points Out Contents Must Be Considered ; Valuable as Expense Is Great. " - ,rarls, Jan. .6. The American peace Commission is watching with deep inter- eat tho activities of certain writers at , . Washington who are sending volumi- "nous fast-rte cable dispatches to re mctionary lYencijtiewspapers, dis- i Xntches which now and then by flat Statement, but mostly by inuendo, manifestly aim to give the impression that President Wilson's peace policies V r repudiated" , by the majority of America's representatives in the senate and house of representatives and that, therefore, the president is not, the true .. spokesman of the American people. Particular Interest as displayed in American official quarters here today '- in a 4000-word dispatch prominently featured by the Kcho de I'aris. The -dispatch Is signed "Welliver," who Is . ; represented hs "Special correppondent . Of tKcho de Pari." It is dated VVash . lngton, January i, and contains the ' roost elaborate attack on the Wilson - policies of the many similar dispatches that have come from the same source of late. $ iipaien was costly " Incidentally the Kcho is. a strong Clemenceau orpan .so that every knock of Wilson in- this paper Is a boost for the French premier. . An American peace commissioner, fho is perhaps President Wilson's closest confidant, drew attention to the tact that while the cheapest press rate to Paris is 10 cents a word, this dis- ... patch was evidently sent at the rate of . 5 cents a word, transmission of the Whole dispatch costing perhaps $000. The American peace delegate in com menting on this, suggested the contents . . ef the article must be regarded as highly valuable 'to warrant such outlay. The average French newspaper publishes not more than 300 words of American news daily. Usually American news Is, indeed, confined to a few para graphs. For these reasons special in terest is taken by the American peace delegates In this unusual activity. Playing Knropean Cards The Welliver dispatch says, among . bther things, that not only is there solid Republican opposition to President WI1- -, aon, but "an important Democratic - Croup is inclined toward the same atti tude while at the same time guarding Its expression, not wishing to embarrass the party. t The dispatch further says : - "Tendencies toward an open rupture -3! Wilson are growing among the Democrat. Many Democratic leaders remain silent while their press conducts a public defense for Wilson." It goes without saying that such state- r- ments are grist to the Clemenceau mill DISCIPLINE IS LOW IN ARMY COMING BACK NEW TOEK, Jan. .

DEED'S FEARS ARE UNJUSTIFIED Prerogatives of American Con gress Will Be Safeguarded in World League. ' . By Panl Scott Mowrer Special Cable to The Journal and Chico DaU ITewa; fOrvrrieM. 1?U. by Chiesn Daily Nr Co.) Paris, Jan. 6. The fears of Senator James A. Reed of Missouri regarding mo proposea league or nations, i am enabled to state, are entirely unjustified. The American? program does not imply anything resembling the formation of international command and armies. The American negotiators intend scrupulous ly to safeguard the prerogatives of the American congress in everything they propose and, therefore, there is no dan ger of a majority vote of foreign na tions ordering American citizens Into battle. It should be pointed out, however, that there is a difference between being or dered Into battle and freely consenting to enter battre; The league of nations, before taking any executive action In respect to any difficulty, will be ex pected to obtain the consent of every nation in the league.' Under this form the temporary cession; of a portion of its sovereignty Dy eacn nation bears no radical character. It Is Impossible to make any sort of treaty or international agreement without .some cession of sovereignty. Nations which .before the war had defensive alliances with other nations had thereby ceded a large amount of their 'Individual sovereignty. A distinc tion should be made between enforced cession of sovereignty, on some partic ular international issue and cession free ly consented to by the representatives of the people for the greater good of humanity. Colonel George 8. Toung. one of the beet known army men In the Northwest, died at 6:30 o'clock Sunday evening at the post hospital at Vancouver Barracks, to which he went Thursday from Salem, where he had been-on duty at Willam ette university In connection with the student army training corps.
