STEFAHSSOiJ ATE : WHAT NORTH GAVE I AND BECAME FAT Arctic Explorer Explains Why He Became Better .Physically In ' Land Where Travelers Starve. NOT HALF BAD PLACE TO LIVE r Dr. Cook and Other , Hfghly r Veracious Authorities Disputed ;' in Lecture at The Auditorium. Her are a few facts about the frozen . north.. : ' In the first place, snow actually alakea thirst as satisfactorily as pineapple nut sundae. : .. - .-.. In the second place, explorers who froze to death before they starved to i death did so because they did not and would not understand the Arctic, In the third place, Instead of being the wild, barren desolation described by " Dr. Cook and other reputable authorities, - the north polar region is hot a half bad place to live, Vilhjalmur Stefansson told these thing's along: -with countless other facts " In hia lecture Tuesday night at The Audi torium before an audlenoe that almost "'packed the big structure. Stefansson clatms to know because he has spent ten years north of the Arctic circle, ' where so many other explorers found so ' little. Bora la Iceland from a race of I vikings, the far -north beckoned him from youth and he studied It and the men who had sought to conquer the .hardships of iceberg and floe. - The explorer outlined definitely how it was that he not only lived but grew fat under conditions that wiped out ear- Iter parties. The secret was this : To accept the things that Nature even ... there provides and cut away from the 4 thoughts of luxuries of home. Seal meat : is a good enough diet for polar bears and Eskimos; it is good enough for white men,. That is why Stefansson was i bulletined as dead for over a year when ' in fact he was extremely comfortable in ' snow huts, warmed by seal-oil fires, fed ) by seal steak and bear cutlets and clad : t In reindeer skin and furs, r At the' end of the year he reported as per agreement at a certain corner of Banks island with all his men and all hi! dQgS. ':: Will Sapply World's Heat 1 The explorer affirmed that the next ' quarter century will see the far north , supplying the world with Its meat sup ply. He told the story of a certain man who thought to softs the food prob lem by introducing caribou and rein- deer steaks. He went to a Pacific ' coast city and advertised timidly that " the meat was cheaper than beef, just as i good and Just as nourishing. After a few. months he was almost bankrupt, - when i someone gave him the secret of success. He went then to New Tork I city and advertised his meat, the tender 'luxury of the northland, the most nour , lshlng meat known, and selling at a price only is cents a pound higher than , beef. From that time on his fortune was made and a prominent English irrv porter asked to secure all 'of the meat that.-could be shipped. Stefansson described the abundant '; vegetation of the far north to the won derment of the audience, most of whom had supposed that the "top of the "earth' -was sealed with a covering of Ice. Blley Iatrodaees Speaker v To the contrary, he stated that dur .ing the summer, rhlch varies In length i from three to five months summer be ing the period during which the Eskimo can walk around nights without stub bing his toes In the darkthere is con , slderable growth of nourishing plants. . On these the caribou and reindeer feed and grow fat. During the winter -months they-paw through the snow and : manage to keep, quite fat in that way until spring. " The lecturer was Introduced by Prank ' ' Riley. Organ selections that added to the program were rendered by Frederick ; W. Goodrich; Many pictures were shown . in .connection with the lecture, pictures taken by the explorer himself In his " numerous visits to the far north. t .

Roberts of the fire 'department charging him with throw ing burning material on adjacent prop erty. The trial was set for Thursday. The alleged Offense occurred Saturday ' night at Second and Morrison streets. The fire department contends that Dr. Dean threw a lighted match or cigar stub out of the window of his office, .setting an awning on fire.

Citizenship of any nation Is an Inter nal right of that nation and cannot be taken over by any other nation no mat ter how Intimately situated. Naturally this was explained to the Japanese. But at. the same time the representatives of Japan have the right to make any new suggestions that they wish. " - ; Apparently British press comment that the president Is interfering with British internal matters grow out of his refusal to attend Saturday's session of the supreme war council. I saw the president personally en that morning and he said it was Impossible for him even to debate Military., naval and eco nomlo terms, suggested by the council until they; had been translated i Into English from the original French. Tele phone ; messages explaining this were sent to the British. French. Italian and Japanese delegations and all agreed that It waa necessary for the president to digest the details. The president is becoming annoyed at suggestions ; from certain sources that, he is trying" to Interfere with .the developments of the peace conference. British and Americans la Unloa 'The attacks against the president in some quarter are similar to the French anti-Wilson propaganda which disap peared when, the president let it be known when he knew the real reason for it and also when suggestions were sent Into the; circles where, it . de veloped. I can say personally that there Is no actual propaganda' against the president 4hla time. American - and British - relations are wonderfully tran quil; -'But. someone, probably a -newspaper correspondent, made a slip In in terpreting' his information. The British and Americans are working In unison and most of the time the French are entirely la agreement with them. Lately the Italians and Japanese have been agreeing under .pressure, but there has been no friction. The outcome ts cer tain to be entirely satisfactory to the great powers and acceptable to .the small ones. . : i ' Premier Lloyd George is consulting with his colleagues before replying to the letter addressed to hint by President Wilson, Premier Clemenceau of France and premier Orlando of Italy, asking him to remain : here for another two weeks Instead of returning to London to confer on the labor situation. Determine Territorial Claims By Fred 8. Fergasoa . Paris, March 19. (U. P.) The su preme war council was expected to ratify formally .today the tentative agreement understood to . have been reached Tuesday on territorial and fi nancial questions of the preliminary peace treaty. The 'conference yesterday was at tended by President Wilson, Prenfler Lloyd George and Premier Clemenceau. Italy and Japan were not represented because the matters discussed did not affect them. The session, which lasted from 3 p. m. to 6 :30 p. m., was de scribed as "satisfactory." The plan of alternating formal meet ings between the , leaders and sessions of the supreme war council was adopted Sunday as part of the speeding up process. When the . council adjourned Monday until today. It was -understood that several matters affecting principally the United ' States, . Great Britain and France would be taken up. The question of both the western and eastern frontiers of Germany was said to have been thoroughly discussed, Kestrels Isrlted la John W. Davis, representing the United ' States on the preparation com mittee; L. H. i Locheur, France, , and Lord- Sumter, ; Or eat . Britain, were called In for discussion f i financial conditions of the. .trealir.Wt. 1 The big powers, it was -learned today, are now In practical Agreement regard-. ing the principle of working out finan cial affairs, namely that the final bill for reparation must be based on what experts find Germany : will be able to pay over a comparatively short period of years. With the government heads already agreed on this, basis fixing of the definite amount of Indemnity appeared to be a matter of only a few days. Meanwhile work is also being pushed on the League of Nations covenant which will be Incorporated in the pre liminary pact, i A call was sent to all neutrals Tuesday to have their recommendations- for changes and amendments ready for presentation at the special session of ' the league sub committee Thursday, , Japanese Benew Their Efforts Japan intends to press its position that then covenant, which ' la 'designed to establish the equality of peoples, should establish the principle of racial equality. This was indicated when Baron Ma kino and Viscount Chlnda called on Colonel House ' yesterday to Inquire when there would be another meeting of the league committee. They Inti mated after their call; that there had been so much talk recently about the league they merely desired to learn when the question in which they are Interested would be opened, as they desire again to advance arguments in support of the reservation they made at the last plenary session. Held for Tacoma Authorities t H. K. Goodwin and !M. T. Deveraux were arrested Tuesday night by Detec tives Snow and Tackaberry on tele graphic information from Tacoma.

PORTLAND'S FIGHT TO GET SHIPS RESULTS IN NOTHING SO FAR Constantly Increasing Pressure of Needs of Port Strengthen Hope ' Government Will Concede.. rortland's fight for ships has as yet received no encouragement from Wash ington, D. C. But the constantly increas ing pressure of need for the ships and added proofs of their utility strengthen local optimism that governmental con cessions will . not be . much longer de ferred. : The Chamber of Commerce reported today that no word has come from the national capital, either : from Oregon's senators and congressmen to whom Xhe community's appeal was directed or from shipping board officials. The survey of wooden ships, complete, ready for sea but idle and empty in the harbor, is proceeding, but ho report has been made to demonstrate what many authorities believe will be demonstrated, namely, that the oorboUneum treatment of the timbers will not adversely affect tlgur cargoes. L.;-f -A c . The decision to release these vessels to the food administration is said to be contingent upon the results of the sur vey and the settlement of a question of Insurance, i But all this has nothing to do with, the yet tin kept promise of the snipping board to offer wood ships for private charter, with or without crews or stores, at rates that, while fair to the govern ment, would be reasonable to the char terers. -: " -v ; . - - :r- The announcement that Emery Olm stead, Portland banker, and associates have taken over the Sudden Jb Chrtsten sen, will meet, it is said, a condition of the shipping board that vessels will only be chartered to established and experi enced agencies capable of operating ves sels. Hitherto Portland has lacked local organisation for ship operation. The port commission, with laws that au thorised ship operation, had not under taken to show the government that It had engaged the requisite experience or appropriated a sufficient amount to meet chartering expense. Inquiry is being made at Washington by The Journal as to the exact status of each of the completed ships in the har bor and the reasons - of the shipping board for not putting the vessels to work. : , -- - , Coursesn French And Spanish Take Place of German Salem, March 19.

State Superintend ent of Public Instruction Churchill Is recommending to all high schools in the state that one credit towards gradua tion be given each student who left the high schools to enter the army or navy for each year of service, up- to three credits.
