THB OREGON DAILY JOURNAL, PORTLAND, TUESDAY, JANUARY 7, 1313. ; ft 1 ?: i WILSON BRIEVES OBJECTS OF TRIP TO EUROPE GAINED President Returns to Paris From ItaJyf Is Expected to Take Up Peace Preliminaries at Once. TO1 REST FOR SHORT TIME Public Indorsement of Peoples of Nations Visited Obviously Is Considered Initial Advantage. Paris. Jan. 7. tU. P. ) President I WUson returned to Paris from his Italian trip at 9:58 this morning. - By Jlobrt 'J. Beader Paris. Jan. 7. (U. P.) Back In Paris, President Wilson was expected today 'to plunge immediately Into the final 'preliminaries which will precede formal peace deliberations of the associated . powers. The president returned from Italy, armed with the obvious support of the common people of that country. This Indorsement, added to the apparent . backing: of his peace program by the . majority of public opinion in Great Britain and France, was accepted in American circlea-is giving him an ini tial advantage in the approaching con versations. Inasmuch as Wilson declared in his Milan speech that peace must be dic tated y the common people, it is be lieved he- feels he has accomplished through his apparent puhlie indorse ment the greater part of what he sought In coming; to Europe. The Joint conferences of the American, British, Italian and French delegations which, it is believed in many quarters, will -constitute the real peace congress, were ; expected to get under way no later than the first of next week. There was some talk in unofficial clr- jcles that any scheduled formal conver sations might be adjourned tomorrow the date of Colonel Roosevelt's funeral In deference to the memory of the for mer president. The-' president was given a riotous welcome in Turin, despite a rainstorm. After he spoke from a balcony of the palace, he shook hands with 1400 Ital ian mayors who had gathered to hear him. Many of these men had walked v miles to the nearest railroad in order to get to Turin. Bpeaking at the Turin Whist club, the president said that the "pulse of the modem world beats in the field and the factory." He declared that while states men will go to the conprence to con clude peace, the people who stay home m'ust see that peace is maintained. .Wilson spoke again at a luncheon - given the presidential party. "The real blood of the nation flows In the streets in which are the people Famous Old Recipe for Cough Syrup Easily and cheaply made at home, bat Jt beats them aU for quick remits 'Thousands of housewives 'have found that they can save two-thirds of the money usually spent for cough prepara tions, by using this well-known old 'recipe for making cough syrup at home.

They Applaud it Woman Eeceives Comfort Kit She Made for a Yank Albany, Jan. 7. Salvaged from a ship which had been torpedoed and sunk, a comfort kit sent from Albany last August by Mrs. Allan Jones, has been returned to her through the mails. At the time of forwarding the kit from here, a card was in cluded bearing the name of "Grand ma Jones" with her address thereon. In a letter accompanying the bag upon its return, it is stated that the kit was a part of an overseas ship ment upon a vessel which was tor pedoed and sunk. After being sal vaged, the wreckage was taken to a New jersey paper mill. A workman discovered the kit which was but slightly damaged, and, observing the name and address on the card, gave the kit to his daughter who returned it to the original maker with a letter explaining its history. who more than the rest of us have borne the stress of war," he said. The president was given a degree in the University of Turin. Marshall to Represent . Wilson By John Edwin Ifsrin Paris. Jan. 7. (I. N. S.) One of the first acts of President Wilson upon his arrival here today from Rome was to send directions .to Vice-President Thomaa R. Marshall at Washington to represent him at the funeral of Colonel Theodore Roosevelt at Oyster Bay. President Wilson first learned of the death of the former president at Mo dena. He, expressed regret to mem bers of his party and at once sent a cablegram of regret to Mrs. Roosevelt. Otherwise he would make no comment. The president has signed a proclama tion to be Issued in Washington order ing all flags to be lowered to half mast and the various government de partments closed durinfe the Roosevelt funeral. The president and the mem bers of his entourage realise that the death of former President Roosevelt will make important changes in the political situation at home and are anxious' to get all information possi ble as to whaeffect it will have upon ma rtepuDiican opposition in congress to the peace treaty plans. President Wilson plans to rest up a couple of days before entering the seri ous work of the conference once more. It is certain the American executive will enter the general conference hopeful that the outcome will be a - general understanding which will enable the en voys to work out a treaty with all speed. He Is anxious that some action be pos sible shortly that will enable an official statement to be made outlining the pro gram. ACTION BY STATE NECESSARY IN LAND CASE (Continued From Pace On lation of state deeds secured by fraud and the reversion of government lands, the title to which was based upon them. The school lands recovered to the state, would, upon their recovery,, once more become valid "base" for use by the state In the selection of government lands to indemnify the state for' the inclusion of its school sections in for est reserves. The government lands re. covered, by the United States through the cancellation of the school lands upopwhich they had been based would be available for selection by the state as Indemnity lands. Out of the untangling of the fraud it would be possible for the state to ac quire for the school fund the immensely valuable timber land which has been wrongfully taken from the government by means of the fraudulent manipula tions by the school land operators. Recent Sales Show Values What it might mean to the school fund in. money is shown by the recent sale of the "Blodgett tract" to the gov ernment at an approximate purchase price of $745,000. The Blodgett tract consists o fsome 12.800 acres of land in Lincoln county. It was C. A. Smith land, secured by that timberman through the connivance of George Sorenson and Fred A. Kribs, for a few dollars an acre. It was sold to Blodgett by Smith, and was offered in the open market for $550,000 prior to the time the United States entered the war. When the gov ernment began to need spruce the price was jumped to $735,000, about $58 an acre, and was sold at that figure. It represents but 12,800 acres out of the hundreds of thousands of acres that have passed out of the control of the state and the general government by ques tionable channels, but it is an index pointing, to the possibilities that exist for the rehabilitation of the school fund through the recovery of lands wrong fully taken from it. Byron Must Stand Trial Washington, Jan. 7. (U. P.) The supreme court today reversed lower courts, which knocked out indictments against Edward M. Comyns and Carr los M. Byron, charged With fraudu lent land deals in the state of Wash ington. TODAY LAST DAY THEY CHEER IT! Other Pictorial NumbersToo ! PRESIDENTTELLS HOW AMERICA WAS FORCED INTO WAR Completes Triumphal Tour of Italian Cities With Visit to Turinj Off for Fjgfts Again. PARTY LINES ARE DISCUSSED Gives Expression to Feelings on Warmth of Welcome in Speech to Great Crowds at Milan. Turin. Jan. 7. (I. N. S.) President Wilson in a speech . at the municipal palace told how the United States was forced Into the war by the conviction that it was a struggle to liberate hu manity. The speech follows : Mr. Mayor : Both on the streets of this interesting city and here you have made me feel at home. I feel almost as if It were the greeting of a people of whom I was indeed a fellow citizen. I am very much hon ored that this great city, playing so important a role in the life and in the industrial endeavor of Italy, should have conferred this high dis tinction upon me, and I take the . liberty of interpreting' your action, sir, not merely as a personal com pliment to myself, to whom you ascribe virtues and powers which I feel I do not possess, but as a trib ute to the people whom I represent. The people of the United States were reluctant to take part in the . war, not because they doubted the justice of the cause, but because it was the. tradition of the American republic''1 to play no part in the pol itics of other continents. But as the struggle grew from stage to tage they were more and more moved by the conviction that It was not a European struggle, that it was a struggle of the freedom of the world and the liberation of human ity, and with that conviction it was impossible that they should with hold their hands. Their hearts had been with you from the start, and then when the time of their convic tion came they threw every resource of men and money and enthusiasm into the struggle. Naltitndes Cheer Wilson It had been a happy circumstance that America should be thus asso ciated with Italy. Our ties had been many and intimate before the war, and now they constitute "a pledge of friendship and of permanent as sociation of purpose which must de light both people. May I not. therefore, again thank you for the honor you have con ferred upon me, and take the privi lege of greeting you affectionately as my fellow citlaens? At Genoa, Milan and here, huge crowds, made up mainly of workers, greeted the president's party at the sta tion, and wherever Mr. Wilson went he was surrounded by cheering multitudes. At Milan he attended a gala perform ance at the opera house, where he was acclaimed by rousing cheers, every shade of political faith Joining in the ovation. Not since the outbreak of the war have all Italian parties been united as they wire in hailing the American execu tive. Royalists and Socialists, politically bitter opponents, found each other on common ground for the first time in many years. Talks of Party Politics The president was quick to grasp and appreciate this absolute unity in the warmth of welciome accorded to him everywhere In the ancient Roman realm. In a speechat Milan he gave expression to his feeltngs on this subject and this led him to make some remarks on the theme of party politics as they are inter preted among his own countrymen. "Partfes," he said, "are founded upon differences of program and not often upon differences of national sympathy. "The thing that makes parties work able and tolerable is that all parties love their own country. And so it is with us. We have many parties, but we have a single sentiment in this war and a sin gle sentiment in the Deace." Throughout his Italian visit the pres ident showed his emotion to a greater degree than at any other time since he left America. The popular greeting he received In Milan touched him partic ularly deeply and he frankly said in one of his speeches there that it had brought tears to h,is eyes. Emphasizes Importance of Industry In the same city, addressing a large crowd from the balcony of. La Seal a, Mr. Wilson concluded his speech with the hearty shout : "Viva Italy!" Fairness and justice again were the keynote of his speeches Sunday and Monday. The only thing that can bind mall nations together, he said. Is the knowledge that each wants to treat the others fairly. "Force can always be conquered, but the spirit of liberty cannot," he said in another message. He drove home the point that the world progress is Industrial, not mili tary; not by brute force, but in trade and industry, he said, justice was indis pensable. Speaks at Siazzlnl Monument President Wilson, speaking at the monument to Mazzini Monday, said : "I am Very much moved, sir, to be in the presence of this monument. On the other side of the water we have studied the life of Maszini with almost as much pride as if we shared In the glory of his history, and I am very glad to ac knowledge that this spirit has been handed down to us of a later generation on both sides of the water. "It is delightful to me that I am tak ing some small part in accomplishing the realization of the ideals to which his life and thought were devoted. "It is with a spirit of veneration, sir, and with a spirit, I hope, of emulation, that I stand in the presence of this monument and bring -my greetings and the greetings of America with our hom age to the great MaazlnL" Eulogizes Christopher Columbia At the monument of Christopher Co lumbus (Genoa), President Wilson said. "In standing in front of this monu ment, sir, I fully recognize the signifi cance of what you have said. Columbus did do a service to mankind In discov ering America, and It is America's pleasure and America's pride that she has been able to show that it was a service to mankind to open that great continent to settlement, the state of a free people, of people who, because free, desire to see other peoples free and to share their liberty with the people of the world. "It is tor this reason, no doubt, be sides his-fine spirit of adventure, that Columbus will always be remembered and honored, not only here in the land of Us birth, but throughout the world. as the maa who led th way to- those fields of freedom which, planted with, a great seed, have bow sprung up to the fructification xt the world."

The armistice Is entirely a military matter, however. In view of the growing threat of Bolshevism, the Americana are understood to be in clined toward modifying the blockade feature of the armistice. So Soft AtUtade Toward Germaay Herbert Hoover having established that food conditions in some parts of Austria are desperate, and Germany is so lacking in fats as to threaten seri ous disquietude, it is felt that the great est ears is necessary to avoid bringing about conditions In the central powers which would result in such disorder that there would be no responsible govern ment to deal with. . At the same time German statesmen have no hope of gaining the sympathy of tne united states Dy currying lavor. In spite of preliminary discussions Be tween the associated powers, the Ger mans will have to realize that the Americans, the same as all the allies, are here to make a victorious, not a ne gotiated,- peace. The league of nations will be the sec ond problem in connection with the gen eral peace settlement to te taken up. Despite pessimistic expressions- in some quarters, it is believed the general idea of the league will be adopted with rea sonable promptitude. The president has termed all informal conferences on this subject he has had up to date as "sat isfactory as can be expected." Set Worried Over Clemeneeaa Premier Clemenceau'a utterances re garding the balance of power have not worried the Americana It is also stat ed that certain circles who are hoping to muddy the league waters by stirring up Great Britain in regard to the freedom of the seas are bound to be disappointed. While Wilson's position in regard to the freedom of the seas has not yet been stated in detail, he is expected to make clear that America will not accept sec ond piace to any power. It can be stat ed authoritatively, however, that he does not intend to ask that the British fleeV be scrapped. Upon adoption of the rentml nlan for the league of nations, a committee comprised of representatives of the various powers will bo- appointed to work out the details. Freedom of the seas doubtless will come under such dis cussion. Aside from the freauent. Kittine- of the formal session at Versailles, there will be a series of separate discussions at the headauarters of the gations American. British. French and Italian delegations were unusually busy today or. the details of organization. Hun. dreds of experts were assembling entire nDraries or data.

The meet ings are open to all who are interested. During the meeting it waa stated that 16- states in the Union already have such societies formed, and there is a national committee for mental hygiene with which the Oregon society will probably be affiliated. It was suggested at the meeting that the society would have a big work in carrying on a campaign of education to prevent insanity as well as to care for those who are already mentally ill.
