RUSSIAN PROBLEM 1 POISONING PEACE OF MIND.CLEMENCEAU SAYS Peace Conference Has Created Confusion, Uncertainty and Anxiety, He Declraes. Army Stores Soon to Cancel Mail Orders Washington, Nov. 21. (I.

"The Russian problem Is poisoning my peace of mind. It makes me look upon the future of France with the gravest misgiving." These words? authoritatively credited to have been uttered by Premier Clem enceau to some intimate friends a few days ago, are symptomatic of the con fusion, uncertainty and anxiety into which the peace conference has been thrown of late. If the stenographic reports of the daily meetings of the supreme council were published the man in the street would be astonished to discover that the diplo mats delegated by the big powers to re store peace to Europe are spending valu able time discussing such trifling mat ters as the amount of indemnity to be granted to members of the allied com missions to be sent to Germany or the expeditionary of supplying the Polish or Czecho Slovak armies with winter uniforms or even the advisability of sub mitting to the Greek delegates the cross examination of witnesses in the Smyrna Investigation In expurgated rather than in its entirety. While these details which any of the innumerable sub commissions could easily handle, are monopolizing the at tention of the "Big Five" no thought whatever is apparently given to the fact that the utter powerlessness of the peace conference Is shown more and more clearly every day in the Near East. There is no peace in Turkey, nor In Albania, nor in Montenegro, nor in the Adriatic, nor at Flume. Rumania has not yet signed the treaty of Saint Ger main and Jugo-Slavia is still consider ing whether she will sign it at all. It is the Russian problem which Is worrying the peace conference most of n waiiiu- the treatv of Versailles is proving altogether powerless to deal with the situation, xne ancieni imperial re gime, which, as a huge, solid mountain served as a support to the European structure, has given away, leaving nothing but shifting sands in its place. knA th. rebound of this cataclysm Is .hoirlno- H Western svstem to its foundation. Large Number of , Voters Must Now Register to Ballot One need not stand In line to register so as to vote In the next election. Crowds are not besieging the registra tion bureau at the Multnomah county courthouse, although tens of thousands of Portland citizens have been stricken from the books because of failure to vote at the last two elections. While battles have been fought for the right to vote, the privilege of cast ing the ballot Is being neglected, accord ing to County Clerk Joseph Beveridge. Nearly 100,000 persons were entitled to vote at the last election. More than 40.000 have forfeited their privilege and must register again. Only 20 to 25 people are registering each day at " the present time, when the normal registration should exceed 800 a day, according to Beveridge. The books will be closed about April 1, 1920, 30 days preceding the next election. Hangman's Rope.

While the action of the Al Malaikah temple of Shriners in refusing to allow De Valera to speak at the auditorium drew hot words from his Los Angeles committee, the Irish president only smiled when reference was made to the incident this- morning.

Part of Street Is Without Any Light; City Money Short Lack of funds in the city treasury will prevent the municipality from maintain ing and furnishing power for cluster lights on Grand avenue from Division street north to East Broadway, as re quested in a letter sent to the council by L. M. Lepper, secretary of the East Side Business Men's club. Commissioner Bigelow stated that the $10,000 ap propriated for next year's street light ing would be used entirely by the need of arc lights in districts.
