"Yours very sincerely. "GILBERT PARKER." Alfred G. Gardiner, for IS years editor of the great radical paper, the London Daily News, writes: "1 can only say that the proposed reservations, if put into effect, would, it seems to me, reduce the covenant to a nullity and in doing so would dis appoint the hopes of liberals In every country in Europe." Robert Donal, the ned editor of the London Globe, and a number of influ ential provincial papers, said to me: "Apparently the proposed reservations would paralyze the League of Nations. This, in my opinion, would be a world calamity. There can be no effective organization for universal peace with America standing out. Sidney Brooks said : "If the four reservations should be tacked onto the covenant little of value would be left in that Instrument, and America would have announced, in ef fect, that she intends to adhere to her old Isolation." Every cabinet minister 1 have ap proached, wisely I think, has refused even to discuss the reservations, because they are related to Internal American politics. Numerous editors observe a like caution, for example. Henry W Mavsingham. the famous editor of the radical weekly, the Nation. "I should be delighted," he 6aid, "to comply with youi suggestion, but I feel that to write on a matter so closely touching Ameri can politics might do more harm than good ; in fact, the ultimate effect might be the reverse of any opinion one might express." England Trying to End Transport Jam London. Sept 15. (By Mail) Eng land's new transport ministry, estab lished by act of parliament, proposes to open transport stations in all parts of the country. The duty of the officers and men assigned to these stations will be to collect all available transport informa tion in - he various communities, par ticularly, with reference to the best methods of transporting their products. It Is expected this will aid greatly in eliminating congestion, stabilizing the freights and in preventing loss of freight space due to necessary storage us well as stopping loss of stores through rotting in long storage. One of the first indications that Eng land's road systems are now national ized is seen in the announcement that the transport department Is now using 16 motor truck3 to carry freight from docks to Inland destinations. These trucks are carrying freight that has been stored at the docks for several weeks. Preference is given to urgently needed foodstutjs. Prince Wants His Picture With Pugs London, Sept. 25. An American and British fighter have been singled out for royal honors. The Prince of Wales has commissioned Howard Robinson, the painter, to paint a picture showing him talking to Jimmy Wilde, flyweight champion, and Joe Lynch, New York bantamweight, after their contest at the National Sporting club, several months ago. Wilde won the contest, but barely escaped being knocked out. MEN'S WEAR 1 ERIC CROWE NOW REPRESENTS ENGLAND IN PARIS Lloyd George Went to Versailles to Reduce Cumbersome Peace Commission, Is Story at Paris. PREMIER PROPOSED SHAKEUP Returns to England With None of Proposals Accepted Because Americans Favor Present Plan. By Henry J? Smith Special Cable to The Journal and The Chicago Daily News. (Copyright. 1919, by Chicago Daily Newt Co.) Paris, France, Sept. 26. Some light may now be thrown on discus sions of great moment in the su preme council in the last few days involving the future of the peace conference. It will be recalled that Prime Minister Lloyd George has tened here from D'Eauville. On his heels came Colonel E. M. House, concerning which unobtrusive individual speculation ran wild. It was plain that some turn in affairs, graver than routine arguments over half fin ished treaties, had taken place. The newspapers were allowed to believe : hat Lloyd George came to discuss Sy:.a, while Colonel House sat smiling in his crimson chair at the Hotel de Crillon, fencing expertly with the correspond ents. SIR ERIC CROWE NAMED Then came the departure of Foreign Minister Balfour for England and it was reported that no one would fill his place. The question immediately arose : "Is. Britain through with the confer ence?" As the matter now stands, Brit ain is not through. She has named as minister plenipotentiary Sir Eric Crowe, who sat in the council more as an am bassador than as a delegate, and who is the sole substitute for the famous Brit This Wonderful Dress Exactly as illustrated de-O50 signed in navy tricotine, JL S heavily embroidered in navy silk.

What Premier Lloyd George actually proposed, according to the best informa tion, was an alteration in the procedure of the supreme council so as to make it resemble the old council of four in speed and secrecy. He wished to elim inate the cumbersome though impres sive army supernumeries and secretaries. This failing, it is said that he was will ing even to see otie nation drop out. Persons analyzing this suggestion fig ured that Japan might be willing to withdraw, since she has no immediate interest in the many European problems next on the program. However, any euch suggestion has been unthankfully received by the Japanese, who Doint tout that though they have no territorial concern in questions like that of Flume. Thrace and the Hungarian tangle, still such matters as prisoners, indemnities or dealings with the Far East might arise at any time. They hold that the peace conference exists to regulate world problems and not merely to conclude peace with the central powers. Thus Japan's delegate, M. Matsui, will re main to the end. AMERICANS STAY OX JOB There Is nothing to indicate that Lloyd George Jiad Japan's withdrawal in mind ; indeed, he seemed more in clined to abate Br'taln's participation. This is what, it is believed, came to Colonel House's ears in England and sent him to exert his influence against thi breakup of the conference. Colonel House has assumed no definite status and does not attend the council sessions. This bears out the theory that he is here mainly to try to keep matters moving until the Bulgarian and Hun garian treaties are finished. The Ameri can delegates are united in the idea of thoroughness, even at the expense of speed. "We have one dominating idea," said one of them, "anr that is to make all arrangements possible to prevent future wars. Until that is accomplished we shall not consider the work finished," lience the Americans are opposed to all suggestions that the conference be allowed to dwindle or to cease function ing. Under Secretary Frank L. Polk joined Premier Clemenceau in arguing Lloyd George into keeping a working representative in Paris. Lloyd George has returned to England, taking along Viscount Milner and Bonar Law, with out having produced a visible result toward changing the council in the fu ture, except a promise of a recess when nothing is left to carve but Turkey. war From Death Boat Thurso, Scotland.

GERMANY MUST QUIT FIGHTING LITHUANIA OR LOSE FINANCIAL AID Situation Has Gone Beyond Stage of Note Writing and Stern Measures Undertaken. By Henry i. Smith Special Cable to The Journal and The Chicago Daily News. (Copyright. 1919. by Chicago Daily New, o.) Paris. France, Sept. 23. Germany must cease her military activity in Lithuania or she may be advised that no American money will be forthcoming for her rehabilitation. Such is the plan believed to have been discussed by. the American element in the peace confer ence. General von der Goltz's strategy has assumed the proportions of a bold defiance of the entente, especially since it has been proved that he drew troops from East Prussia. It is a situation that, in the American view, has gone beyond note writing. Vir tually the sternest thing that could be said to Germany is that the American government would disapprove of the plans of American financiers for loans to the vanquished country. There has been discussed for some time a sum as high as $120,000,000 which it said was being assembled by various big interests' under the authority of the fed eral reserve board. Recently French sentiment as to such a loan was tested here at one of the biggest banks in Paris, which assured inquirers that the Intelligent people of Portland Pleased By Quick Results Everyone is pleased with'the quick results of simple witchhazel, camphor, hydrastis, etc., as mixed in Lavoptik eye wash.

France would not oppose such a loan as a measure of temporary relief to a needy nation. The matter having reached this stage it would be a terrible blow to Germany to have it blocked. Economic measures to end General von der Goltx's activities are deemed more likely than military since the allies cannot send troops and it has been decided that Poland cannot use its army in Lithuania. Indeed, one of the problems of the su preme council just now is to "prevent Poland' from fighting everybody In sight," as it was put by one shrewd observer. The ' latest reports concerning the force under General von der Golts say it is estimated at 100,000 men who are well organised and equipped with mu nitions and supplies. It is declared by the French authorities that this army is acting with the full support of the Ebert government to conquer the Baltic provinces. Wilson's Political Horoscope Cast by French Observers By Henry J. Smith Special Cable to The Journal and The Chicago Daily Kewa. (Copyright, 1919, by Chicago Daily Newt Co.) ""Paris. France. Sept. 25. "President Wilson will not seek reelection provided the peace treaty is ratified and the League of Nations is accepted, but should the reverse happen he will at tempt to go back to the White House Alkali in Shampoos Bad For Washing Hair Most soapa and prepared shampoos contain too much alkali, which is very Injurious, as it dries the Bcalp and makes the hair brittle. .
