ISLANDS FORMERLY TEUTON; TERRITORY INVOLVE AME RICANS Senator Lodge Starts Debate With Declaration of Differences With Boers and Australia. Washington, Jan. 31.- (U. P.) Senator Lodge,' Massachusetts, today threw the senate into discussion of the peace con ference's action with respect to German colonies by condemning any plan which involves the United States' participation ii. the management of Pacific islands or African territory formerly held by the enemy. ' We see;.t already to have involved ourselves in serious differences with Australia and the Boers," said Lodge. "I don't know just what we are doing and hence speak with some hesitation. The senate is kept in the dark about it all, except for casual and unofficial dis patches. "But we apparently have agreed to guarantee and? sustain a lot of E'ates and republics made up of Hottentots. "The people, of this -country have no concern with the South Pacific or Africa, except, of course, to look after our own interests, as in Guam. Why we should go into an arrangement which involves us in difficulties with the Australians and Boers, whose friendship is import ant to us. I cannot see.". Senator Johnson, California, declared he will not vot3 for the peace treaty if it includes any arrangement for use of American troops in policing or maintain ing order in Turkey, in Asia, or In the German colonies. ARMY. GOOF TEST TO BE TRIED OUT TONIGHT AT LINCOLN HIGH Prof. Kohs Wili Apply ;Brain Puz zler That Helped to Mould ! s U. S. Army. Are you normal? Do your thoughts run around in your brain, with .ease or do they creak through your mind ' like a Council Cre'st car slowing down for a curve? . Tou can find out at the Lincoln high school auditorium tonight at 7:30. What was known In the army as the "goof test." will be given there by Professor S. C. Kohs in charge of the department of psychology at Reed col lege. It - Is the army ; psychological test and everyone is invited to take It. Professor Kohs guarantees, not to tell everybody if he finds' any mis placed genius.' When you hear a word which you use every day, can you think on a moment's notice of its antonym, of the word which means - just its opposite? Can you look at . a familiar name and say at once whether Its owner is a great pianist or a prize fighter? Can you follow instructions without having them repeated several times, or does a sentence read ty you mean just a jumble of words until you have had time to study it? Can you think quickff, make up your mind quickly . and then without losing time. make your hand do just the thing you want it to? The arm psychological test was given to 2,000,000 men to determine whether they should be sent to of ficers' or other schools, or be left as buck privates. In many cases these were chosen for jobs on the basis of these tests, which were perfected by prominent eastern psychologists. The tests are to be given tonight by Professor Kohs for the war depart ment. No individual records will be published or ; sent to the department, buf any one taking the tests may re ceive .her or his grade. , The tests will require about '45 minutes to complete. Professor Kohs is anxious to have a large attendance." -r He "win later- give the.- tests to special groups .who care to take them.,. There is no charge. Bishop Eoe Proves Unusual Enthusiast Before Business Men iSv4 ' ' 7,. In Bishop Roe of Alaska, the Pro gressive Business -Men's club', found a startling "booster"' ttype at fits Thurs day afternoon at the ' Benson hotel. "As long . as '. people can find lertlle and deep soil in . the Willamette valley where. the climate Is congenial and liv ing conditions are favorable, I would not advise them to take up agricultural lands in Alaska.' said the bishop. There are millions of acres in Alaska which will be limitedly productive if settled by a hardy and self denying type of people. Alaska is a country only for strong men." Bishop Roe suggested that Alaskan mines would furnish an outlet for labor. "I heartily favor the plan of leasing Alaskan coal lands," said he, "but be lieve the leasing- provisions should be modified sufficiently - to. attract capital. The rates are now too high." Bishop Roe has spent 24 years in Alaska. Cordial applause greeted Ira L. Riggs, who presided for the first time as presi dent. ' Madmen Fly Red Flag And Beat Off Police Belfast, Jan. 31. (I. N.

Copyright, 1919, b Chicaro Dally New Co.) Paris, Jan. 31. -I have reason to be lieve that Italy and Greece have reached an agreement outside the official confers ence concerning their respective clalirs. The first point touches the so-called Dodecanese islands. These islands, which are inhabited by Greeks, were taken from Turkey in the Tripoiltan war and held by Italy as a cage of Turkey's good faith. ' ,- The treaty of London of 1916 Insured their possession to Italy. 4 Now that country apparently agrees to give Oese islands to Greece in accordance with the principle of nationality, if Greece agrees to internationalize the straits of Corfu and support Italy's claim to keep - bps- session Of the resion of Avlona, v. hile Italy agrees to. support the Greek claims in the Kpirus. Greece will make no ob jections to Italy's possible desire for a trusteeship over Albania. . Two Portland Men Arrive in U.S. From Overseas Service! New York.- Jan. 31. U. P.)

Paris. Jan. 31. A sudden reorganiza tion of the German forces is ever- pos sible, but such development should not cause ' a war, in the view of M. Brant tng, Swedish Socialist . leader, . who was interviewed by the Petit Parisienne cor respondent at Berne. M. Brantling had .traveled through Germany for the pur pose of attending the international la bor conference at Berne. The Socialist leader does not believe the restoration of the former emperor, which some papers allege is imminent after the national assembly meets, can occur, but he admits that the German public does not understand just what ' has happened. ."After an entire nation has so long been fed on lies," M. Brantling said, "it is impossible for the people to re make their minds quickly. Already, , however, many Socialists admit some faults, which admission forms one of the first steps toward repentance." BACON and VEAL JUce Sogar.Cared Breakfast Bacon, lb Salt' Fork lb.
