Now in San Francisco Who . f a fl t t A r yvas tieia.Tor Hansom in Uhma George Marion Kyle, who, as a Port land young man with the first Stanford university American ambulance service unit in France, wrote a series of highly .interesting stories for The Journal der scribing vividly what he saw of the horrors and also the pleasantries of war, has returned to Portland and is now With the Lumbermen's Trust company. He comes from a family in which ex citement runs in , the blood. He him self an aviator vho flew over the ene my lines and scattered bombs over troops and maneuvered his machine while his pilot shot down Hurt airplanes, fie can still hardly rival his father, George L. , Kyle, who ts tiow In San Francisco and" who spent a long time in China as a prisoner of a bandit tribe, held for ransonf. . While the elder Kyle was In China sliding- down rocky mountain sides in the dark, flying in , wait whl'.e bandits searched for him and doing such things to escape from the robbers by whom he -as .held for ransom, the younger Kyle was In France flying hundreds of miles $ehlnd the German lines 'in search of Inanition dumps and factories to bomb. fexiJSTED Itf 1117 He enlisted first with the ambulance Section made up at Stanford university, and which landed In France In Febru ary. 1917. Then when the United States entered the war he thought the life a tame one and In search of real adven- Jure and, to make hfciself of real use. 0 entered a French flying school and on October 17, 1917. received his wings as a flyer In the French army at the grade of corporal. Finally in February, 1918, he was able to transfer to the American army and was immediately commissioned as a second lieutenant his pay, as he remarked, rising - from $12 toi41 a month. - He was assigned to the 117th aero squadron, which was part ftf the Lafayette flying corps, be ing left on the detached service with tils original French squadron. Kyle, is one of seven men still -alive Out of Ills original group of three squad rons In which there were 9 aviators. He did a great deal of reprisal work. This was the bombing of German cities In- reprisal for the German bombing of French and -English unfprtlfied cities. This work frequently took him a hun dred miles or so across the German lines. "We got quite complete reports," he said, "of the damage we did on those trips. Of course-, we know that the Germans got the same things, so per haps It . wasn't so unusual. Once when we bombed a munitions factory at Rom bach, Germany, we received a report just a short time afterward that we had blown up the factory and . that it was estimated that six months would be re quired to build it again. OXLT GOT THKEE SHOTS f "I . didn't" get any machines myself, and only got a chance to .fire my ma chine gun three times. My observer got several machines, though. The Ger mans - almost never made any sort of a frontal attack, trying' to shoot us from the rear, instead.

The Germans had machine guns planted everyi short distance atom,- any road. and when a machine came down low would just keep a stream of lead they pouring at him. The anti-aircraft guns didn't bother us much at all. When we did, troop work it usually meant flying along at an altitude of from 300 to 1000 yards, and dropping splatter bombs. Some of them were jcon tacf ombs and some time. They could be drbpped in a row along a road where troops were marching and when they exploded they splattered out and-did a lot ofj damage. They did not try that very much on our troops because they would not fly in the day time." Mr. Kyle was sent back after a few months as an instructor just before the Chateau-Thierry drive opened. The schoo) was located at Clermont-Ferrand. He came back to the United States four months ago and has been at Stanford until !he returned last week. HOUSING FACILITIES ARE REQUIRED FOR ROSE. FESTIVAL WEEK i.i 4 Unless Rooms in Homes Are 9 Given Visitor May Be Com pelled to Walk Streets. . Unless even the .finest Portland resi dences are temporarily turned into rooming houses, the Rose Festival -may result In injury to , the city,, according' to the house committee which 'Tears that thousands of out-of-town guests will not be able to find suitable accom modations during June 11, 12 and 13. Letters asking wives of members of the Portland Ad club Jo pledge the use of their spare bedrooms to the Festival guests were mailed la'st night by the housing committee. The consent of these women, which has practically been as sured,, will give to the room listing com mittee! in Liberty temple approximately 2p0 rooms in the most expensive houses lf Portland Heights, Irvington and Laurelhurst, it is believed. , " Portland hotels have already begpn to "refuse reservations for rooms during the period of the Rose -Festival. Hotel men declare the tourist trade of this spring the largest, of any- former-year and fear that with both the Festival and the Ad club convention in Portland many i visitors will have to walk the streets. Cards for registering rooms in private homes will be distributed the first of the week in alV the public schools where the childrenllve near the heart of the city. "The housing condition Is consid ered so grave by Superintendent Grout that his permission to use the teaching force and the school children to make this survey was granted. It constitutes his first exception to the rule he an nounced Immediately "following hia elec tion as superintendent in which he de clared; too much; outside work was be ing done by school children and that In the future the school would refuse to aid In san ykinij of propaganda excepting the Liberty loan drives. Eforts are being made to iave a large number of Pullmans brought to Port land and left on outside tracks where they 'will' be available as extra sleeping accommodations. It Is also planned, should the situation become too acute, to commandeer sleeping accommodations !in boats anchored in the harbor. Ar rangements have been made to erect 200 tents near the downtown district to be used if necessary.

It shall be the duty of the coun- ", cil in such case to recommend to the feeveral governments concerned what effective military or naval forces the members of the league shall sever ally contribute to- the armaments of forces to be used to protect the cove nants of the league. ! The members of the league agree, further, that they will mutually sup port one another in the financial and economic measures which are takn under this article, in order to mini mize the loss and inconvenience re sulting from the above measures, and that they will mutually sapport one another in resisting any special measures almedat'one of their num ber by the covenant-breaking state, and that they will take -the neces sary steps to afford passage through their territory to the forces of any of the members of the league which - are cooperating ito protect the cove nants of the league.

If such invitation is accepted, the provisions of Articles XII to XVI inclusive shall be applied with such modifications as may be deemed necessary by the .council. Upon such invitation being given, the council shall immediately insti tute an inquiry into -the circum stances of . the dispute and recOm . mend such action as may seem best and most effectual in the. circum stances. If a state so invited shall refuse to accept the obligations of member ship In the league for the purposes of such dispute, and shall resort to war against a member of the league, te provisions of Article XVI shall be applicable as against the state taking such action. If both parties to the dispute, when so invited, refuse to. accept the ob ligations of membership in the league for the purposes of such dis pute, the council may take such measures and maka such recom mendations as will prevent hostill- , ties and will result in the settlement of the dispute. ARTICLE XVIII - Every convention or international engagement entered into hencefor ward by any member of the league shall be forthwith registered with the secretariat and shall as; soon as possible be published by it- No such ' treaty or international engagement shall- be binding' until so registered. ARTICLE XIX ' The assembly may from time to time advise the reconsideration by members of ; the league of treaties which have become inapplicable," and the consideration of international conditions whose continuance might endanger the peace" of the world, ARTICLE XX I The . members of the league sev-. ' . e rally agree that this ' covenant is accepted as abrogating all obliga lUons or understandings inter se which are inconsistent with the ' terms thereof, and solemnly . under take that, they-wtll " not hereafter enter into any engagements incon slsterit with the .terms thereof. In case -' members of the . league - - shall, before becoming & member of the -league, - have undertaken any ' obligations V-. inconsistent with the " terms of this covenant, it shall be . the duty of such member to take im- - mediate steps to procure itf 'release -from such obligations, ; . ..-.' ARTICLE XXI , i - : Nothing In this coveaant shall be deemed to affect the validity of In ternational engagements such as ' v treaties of arbitration or regional understandings like the Monroe doc trine for securing the maintenance ' of peace. . . .,. . ARTICLE XXII j. ' To those colonies and territories which as a consequence of the late -war have ceased to be under the sovereignty, of the states which for merly governed them and which are inhabited by peoples not yet able to , stand' - by themselves ' under the . strenuous conditions of the modern world, there should be applied ' the . principle that the well-being and de- ' velopment ' of such peoples form a sacred trust of civilization and that ' securities for the performance 1 4t this trust should be embodied in this covenant, ;".;,., V The best-method of giving practic able effect to this principle is that the tutelage of such peoples be in trusted to advanced nations -who, by reasons of their resources, their -. experience or their geographical po sition, can best undertake this re-" sponslbility, and who are willing to accept it, and that" this tutelage should be exercised by them, as mandataries on - behalf of the league. j The character ' of the mandate -'' must differ according to the stage of the development -of-the people, the geographical . situation of the territory, its economkr condition and other similar "circumstances. j Certain communities formerly bel longing to the Turkish empire have reached a stage of development where their existence as independ ent, nations can be provisionally recognized, subject to the rendering of administrative advice and assist ance by a mandatary until such , time as they are able to stand alone. The wishes of these communities , must be a principal consideration In the selection of the mandatary, j . Other peoples, especially those of Central Africa, are at such a stage' that the mandatary must be respon- . Bible for the administration of the territory under conditions which will guarantee freedom of conscience or religion, subject only to the maintenance of public - order and morals, the prohibition of abuses, such as the slave trade, the' arms traffic and the liquor traffic and the prevention of the establishment , of fortifications, or military and navat . bases and of military, training of the natives for other than police purposes and the 'defense of terri tory, and will also secure equal . opportunities for the trade and com merce of other members of the league. There are territories, such as Southwest Africa, and certain of the South Pacific islands, which,, owing to the sparseness of their popula tion or their small size or their re moteness from the centers of civ ilization or their geographical con tiguity to the territory of the man datary and other circumstances, can be best administered under the laws of the mandatary as Integral por tions of its territory, subject to the safeguards above mentioned in the interests of the indigenous pop ulation. In every case of mandate, the mandatary shall render to the council an annual report in refer ence to the tert-itory committed to its charge. T3ie dPB-rpfi of anthrirltv. control administration to be exercised by the mandatary shall, if not pre viously agreed upon by .the mem bers of the league, be explicitly defined in each case by the council. A : permanent commission shall be .constituted to receive and examine - the annual reports of the manda taries and to advise the council on all matters relating to the observ ance of the mandates. ARTICLE XXIII Subject to and In accordance with the : provision's of international con ventions existing or hereafter tolbe agreed upon, the members of the league (a) will ensteavor to secure ana maintain fair and humane con ditions of labor for men, women and children both in their own coun tries 'and in all countries to which their commercial and industrial (re lations extend, and for th,at purpose will establish and maintain the nec essary international organizations ; (b) undertake to secure just treat ment of the native inhabitantsof territories under their control ;fc) will Intrust the league with the gen eral supervision over the' execution of agreements with regard to Ithe traffic in women and children, and the traffic in opium and other dan gerous drugs; (d) will intrust ithe league with the general supervision of the trade in arms and ammuni tion with the countries m which (the control of this traffic is necessary in the common interest; (e) will make provision to secure and maintain freedom of communication andj of transit and equitable treatment I for the commerce of all members ofjthe league.' In this connection the spe cial necessities of the regions devas tated during the war of 1914-1915 shall be in mind ; (f) will endeavor to take steps in matters of inter- , national concern for the prevention and control, of disease. ARTICLE XXIV ? j There shall be placed under the -direction- of the league all interna tional bureaus already established by general treaties if the parties to such treaties consent. All such In ternational bureaus and all commis sions for the regulation of matters of international interest hereafter constituted shall be placed under the 'direction of the league. In all matters of International in terest which are "regulated by general, conventions but which are not placed under the control of Inter national bureaus or commissions, the secretariat of the league' shall, subject to the consent of the coun cil and if desired by the parties, . collect and distribute all relevant information, and shall, render any other assistance which may be nec- . essary or desirable. The council may include as part or the- expenses of the secretarial me expenses of any bureau or bom mission which is placed undeif the direction of the league, 1 ARTICLE XXV The members of the league gree to encourage and promote tne es tablishment and cooperation of duly . authorized voluntary national Red f -Cross organizations having as pur poses - Improvement of health, the prevention of disease and the mitl , gation of suffering throughout the world. : . -ARTICLE XXVI Amendments to this covenant will take effect when ratified by the members of the league whose rep resentatives compose the council and by a majority- of the members of the league whose representatives ' compose the assembly. j .
