Members "of the cabinet communicate with Secretary Tu multy, who In turn brings to Mrs. WI1- : son's attention the matters which ought to-v' have the president's tim and thought He helps determine the prior ity and relative importance of the mat ters, but Mrs. Wilson finally decides . how much work the president ' shall do each day. CHOOSES TO BE SILENT . It is a big task and an Immense re sponsibility and It-Is doubtful If ever a woman in American history had such a burden. She Is constantly relying, however, on the advice of the physi cians who are attending the president They have told her he will recover bis life will be saved If he haa. rest and care. As between a chance to save , a life and answer the numerous state ments and attacks that are-being made upon the president, Mrs. Wilson haa chosen the course ot stoical silence. Wny does not someone say what is ths matter with the . president? Some of the most noted physicians in the country have Issued statements, Inti mate details have from time a time been revealed even to the extent of dscrlbing troubles with the prostate : gland and digestive weaknesses. Dr. r Barcum, the noted neurologist has is sued a statement saying the president was so much Improved that he did not believe be would have to come back , to the White House for regular visits : miij mora. winer statements of reas surance nave, been given. Yet, the out- cry for more details for more in formation continues. CAMPAIG.X OF QUESTIONS At the White House, officials place i the blame for this intensified curiosity in the. country at large to the studied semblance of doubt which the people opposed to the president have been cast ing upon his acts ever since he took sick instead of adopting a resolution ,. of sympathy for the president Not an expression of that kind has heed in troduced in the house or senate by the Republicans, who are in control. A series of speeches have been made all . tending to cast discredit upon those who wera speaking on behalf ot the presi dent as well as the president himself. ; irst came a debate as to whether Mr. Wilson's signature was his own on a public ... document, the Infereno K-ir, that it was forced 'ttifttMiitr'ar-itt-mntr efa letter in which one senator spoke of a cerebral lesion of which Ae had beard rumors, and on which he based big . own Judgment that the president would be Incapacitated for the remainder of his term.

Von Wiegand "O E RX IN, .Dec, 8 General Krich Iiodendorff has given me the following; comment upon the United! States senate's re fusal to ratify the peace treaty: "Wholly as to my personal Impression I gee, not without a certain sympathy, that with our people over there it la still pri marily statesmanlike, sober cal culation and realistic political conditions that hate the decisive word In shaping the future of your country. , ,srf "Sound and healthy national egotism directed by a conscien tious hand is the strongest guar antee that exists. "Around that group them selves, the highest virtues of the sound public mind and of the really lasting and undying noble influences and powers In his tory." stories of how the president's office could be declared vacant and should be. The newspapers hostile to the president in this vicinity have lately renewed this form of attack. On top of it all haa come series of statements from sena tors, published broadcast saying they did not believe ths president wrote his recent message to congress. Officials at the White House point to the fact that the president's opponents are not fighting fair, and that they for get how quickly. Mi. Wilson cancelled hie speaking engagements in the 1912 campaign when the rumor came that Roosevelt was Shot and how quick he was to orrer bis sympathy when Mr. Roosevelt-waa ill. Yet there have not been two men more bitterly opposed to each other in politics in this generation than Wood row Wilson and Theodore Roosevelt READS BITTER ATTACKS But it la Mrs. Wilson wno is" com pelled to bear the whole burden. The president could take up more tasks, could see more people, if she wanted to take ths risks involved in a sudden re sumption of intense activity. It was Mrs. Wilson who took the re sponsibility in declining last Saturday when Senator Hitchcock called to have anyone see the president He had Just been through a long examination; by physicians their weekly consultation, Mrs. Wilson felt It was not wise to add to the : strain of that day if the matter could go over until another day. It is not pleasant for a woman in her position to read the bitter attacks that are being heaped upon "Some one in ths White House." but Mrs. Wilson is probably hopeful that the age of chivalry is not passed, and that the American people will not approve of the campaign that will force the president Into activities that may cost him his life. In the mean time the cabinet Is functioning and im portant decisions of policy are being made by the president himself, all doubts by his opponents to the contrary not withstanding.

Oregon City, Dee. 6. It la the belief of Deputy Sheriff H. EV Meads, who in vestigated the Wilson ville bank robbery of Wednesday night that the work was that of professional yeggmen, because of ths nature of ths burglary., Ths bolts of the hinges of the vault door were sawed off clean, and the door 'then blown off. The fact that ths explosion was not heard la evidence that the men knew Juat ths quantity of explosive to use. It wss only a comparatively short time ago that the Fanners bank, ha vine- had several unsuccessful attempts made to enter It installed a new safe, in which was HI00 in cash and W.000 In Liberty loan bonds. The aafe was untouched. There la no way of determining; how much money or valuables may have been secured from ths 60 or mors safe de posit boxes which they rifled until every box owner has reported. This la ths fourth time the bank has been broken Into, ths first some nine years ago. then six years and four years ago, all three while the Thorntons were the owners, i Four years ago burglars sawed away almost one side of the. bank building, a frame structure, with the idea of carting- awar the safe, but were evidently frightened from their work be fore they had time to complete it The bank building stands on a block to It self, soma little distance from any other building in Wllsonvtlle. So thorough were the burglars in their work that they took time to place the vault door in position, with the combina tion dial turned to the point it had been left by Cashier Dwlght L. Seely, and even placed the adding machine before the door as- it ia left by the latter each night Exports for Month Show Big Increase 1918 Figures Over American exports In October, 1919, wen v&luad at IKaS.OOfl.ftnO. a pain nf 36.000,000 over September and of $130, 000,000 over October of the previous year, . according to a statement issued by the bureau of foreign and 'domestic commerce.

Intersection, pne from the east and one from the west. She ran directly in front of both, emer gency brakes stopped the cars within a few feet of her. She halted between the tracks.' The motorman of "he east bound car saw her pass his tracks and began to move ahead. She changed her mind and headed back for the corner, and again emergency brakes brought the car to a stop. The streetcar on the other track had again started, and when the woman saw that she was about to be hit by the first car, she jumped backwards in the path of the second. Emergency brakes averted a collision. Then she leaped ahead in the direction of the corner she was originally on, to escape an automobile by mere inches. Brakes avoided two accidents with each ear and one with an automobile. MAYOR INSTRUCTS POLICE "On account of the number of auto mobile accidents occurring on the streets dally, due to carelessness either of drivers or pedestrians, or f both, kindly instruct all officers on beats to commence a systematic check on viola tions of the traffic' rules by pedestrians as well as drivers of vehicles," Mayor Baker In a formal ordr writes to Chief of Police Jenkins. "It is apparent that a great many accidents occur as a ' result of pedes trians crossing streets at points other than' regular crossings. It Is not only an act of carelessness and recklessness, but -also a violation of the traffic ordinance for a person to walk suddenly out into the channel of traffic from between two machines parked atong a street. "The driver who violates the traffic rules is being checked constantly, but this is only "half of the trouble, as the pedestrian is often as much to blame as the driver. The plan of educating the pedestrian against taking chances should be handled as forcibly as (pos sible." i IS PEDESTRIAN'S PATJLT Wednesday, a man was walking aiagonauy across Second street north of Alder. A machine ttfrned into Sec ond. The pedestrian walked directly against the side of the passing auto- moDiie. hie was hurled to the ment, but not badly injured. pave- xne Housewives' council haa entered the educational campaign for pedestrians as well as drivers.

Instruct carefully our children to use every precaution in crossing all streets and thoroughfares, thereby mak ing our city one of the sanest and safest In the Union." I CAUSE OF M08T ACCIDENTS The carelessness of pedestrians was exemplified again in an accident at East Sixtieth and Glisan Wednesday. A wom an alighted from a street car and start ed for One curb, A machine Was fol lowing the. car. After the pedestrian had indicated her direction the auto mobile started to pass behind her. She changed her mind, and without ' looking in either direction, suddenly reversed her step toward the oposite curb nd in the path of the machine.
