By John Be Gandt Paris, Jan. 18. (U. P.) Australia, as a free and independent nation, has its own peace demands for consideration at the conferences. Premier Hughes de clared in an interview. Australia considers that it won its independence on the battle field, and politically it stands now where the United States stood at the end of the Revolution. It is in this spirit that it enters the peace conferences with its own program. Recognition of the British dominions by the peace congress marks the dawn of a new era. the premier believes. It is taken to mean that the world recog nizes Australia. Canada, South Africa, New Zealand and India as autonomous nations, tied only by sentiment to the motherland. "'Our fighting record surpasses that of any other nation," he asserted. "Now we wr.nt pelf-determination." Australia. Hughes made plain, throws its cards face upward on the peace table. His country, he said, being most democratic and a firm foe of secret diplomacy, frankly and openly makes public its aims and desires in the great tfcttlement- Demanda and Oppositions Hughes announced Australia would demand : Indemnities; the islands of New Guinea ; a tteague of nations with cer tain restrictions; military support of Poland, If that country Is threatened ; a hearing on all questions concerning Europe or the Far Hast. Australia, . ho declared, will oppose : Freedom of the seas. If that means taking Britain's supremacy from her; any restrictions on the right of making whatever economic arrangements she pleases, and further intervention in Russia. -- "Australia,", said Hughes, "feels that she stands politically today pretty much where the United States stood at the end of the revolution. She has won lib erty on the fields of "France and de serves recognition., as, an autonomous nation. To Hold Oat For Indemnity "Now Australia wants, self-determination. This means she insists " on a policy of a "white Australia.' We do not want promiscuous Immigration. We are 'a white nation in a sea of blacks. We must have the New Guinea islands. They are full of possibilities for naval bases and U-boat nests if they pass into unfriendly hands. "We believe we ought to have an in demnity. We helped beat Germany, who wilfully forced the war, thereby saddling us, a country with only 5,000,000 inhabi tants, with a war debt that is a most frightful handicap to a new people like ourselves. "We believe In the league of nations, but we must not Impair the nation's rights of free government, and though the league would be a valuable instru ment to maintain world peace we must keep our powder dry." Cars Are Delayed; Power Line Is Felled by Wind .

Heroism Is Spur To Honest Work On Soldiers' Part MR. EMPLOYER, do you remember the story of the Oregon boys in the Argonne forest who drove far ahead of the main line, dug themselves in in the face of machine gun and shell fire, and refused to budge until men could be sent to relieve them where they were? Some of those boys are coming back. They've been calling at Liberty temple where the government haa a soldiers' and sailors' employment division, ask ing for Jobs. They are the same chaps who cracked jokes at death and met every emer gency laughing. Heroism hasn't given them false notions about work. Do you need a High climber? Chauffeur? Bookkeeper? Moving picture operator? Wood bucker? Elevator operator? Or a lumberman, engineer, black smith, caulker, waiter, plumber, pipe fitter, salesman, cleric- logger, teamster, cook, farmer, carpenter, store keeper, sawyer, drug clerk, draftsman, j truck driver? .

Appeal to the public to wear masks to church tomorrow, the elimination of graduating exercises by schools, con sideration of a cleanliness campaign, and the installation of the "cubical sys tem" in hospitals, were other develop ments announced this morning. ' Dr. Sommer has issued an urgent ap peal to all citizens to wear the mask to church as a protection to themselves and others. "Although It is not com pulsory, it la very desirable that those attending all gatherings be masked." said Dr. Sommers. "The disease Is so easily spread that all persons going to' church without protection are" en dangering the lives, not only of them selves, but- of all others in attendance. It is requested that the public co-operate with the health authorities in this matter." Jraduating exercises in all public schools have been placed under the ban by the school board. A delegation of school children will meet with Dr. Som mer this afternoon to protest against the action of the board. A cleanliness campaign is under con sideration by the authorities. "Yards, streets- and all other places where wastes gather should be cleaned," Dr. Sdmmer explained this morning. "At present there are many unemployed people in the city, and in addiUon there are some remaining at home because of the influenza. Those remaining at home should clean their own yards and surroundings, and the unemployed can be placed at work on streets and other places. It would not only do away with an unsanitary condition, but would pre vent gatherings of, crowds of unem ployed." The cubical system for segregation of patients has been installed In local hospitals under the direction of the consolidated health bureau. Under the system, sheets or other contrivances are placed between patients to prevent the passage between persons afflicted with different diseases. - All secretions are thereby isolated. , Nurses and doctors are also comply ing wih requests from the health bu reau to use masks in attendance on pa tients. . . . , , .
