The note. It waa understood, again
makes it; clear that President Wilson
cannot recognise this agreement
Considerable opposition to the Turk
ish settlement has arisen In several
quarters. It was learned today. Critics
of. the 'settlement as announced tar the
council of premiers, declared the allies
have decided upon complete effacement
of the Turkish empire and that its ac
tual dismemberment has been all but
accomplished.
The "financial sphere of influence'
assigned to Great Britain, France,
Greece and Italy, is merely camouflage
for complete annexation, these critics
asserted.
The assignment of Constantinople and
AnatOUa to Turkey, they believed, will
not mean that the Turk will have un
limited influence in these districts. The
caliphate, they declared. Is destined to
political and economic slavery.

Boston, Mass., March 8. -(U. P.)
The trustees of the Christian Sci

their suit against the Christian Sci

the directors from interfering with

At the same time John V. Dittemore

Exporters and Importers Seeking
to Get Phosphate Rock Ship
ped by Way of Local Harbor;
Export Outlook , Encouraging.
Opening guns ef a struggle be
tween Portland and other Pacific
porta for a vast export business, in
volving shipment .this year of nearly
100,000 tons of phosphate rock and
a poslble subsequent movement of
800,000 tons annually, were sounded
Friday when the Chamber of Com
merce and shippers and exporters
united solidly in an effort to prove
Portland's natural" advantages for
this movement.
Phosphate rock shipment has been
common talk among business men and
shippers of this port for some time. Rise
was given to the talk through the tact
that representatives of Furukawa
Co.. Ltd., of Tokyo, Japan, had signed
contracts with mining men at Paris,
Idaho, for a shipment of 65,000 tons of
Phosphate rock for delivery to Japan.
This initial order was followed by an
option between the buying and selling
company for 85,000 tons. In addition to
the Initial order. This entire amount
was to be shipped during 1920.
Following the placing of. these two
contracts an agreement was said to have
been reached whereby the movement of
this rock to Japan will last a number
of years and run approximately 800,000
tons per year.
Although possibility of such a ship
ment gives excellent opportunity in it
self for development of the port of Port
land, the actual benefit of the move
ment is negligible when other benefits
accruing through this shipment is taken
into consideration, according to shippers
who have been working on the proposl
tion.

LET LODGE BE
SAYS WILSON
Word Comes From White House
President Will Decline to
Talk Compromise With Emis
sary Sent Out by Hitchcock,
Washington. March . (U. P.)
The president stands pat.
This was the word from the White
House today, in response to inquiries
as to what Woodrow Wilson's atti
tude would be toward a compro
mise on Article X of the League of
Nations covenant.
Senator Hitchcock last night wrote to
Wilson asking him to receive Senator
Simmons, Democrat, as an emissary who
would . lay before him a proposal for
compromise on Article X.
Democratic hopes of compromise rati
fications were believed to have been
dashed again when the White House let
it be known that Wilson sees little need
for discussing the treaty situation fur
ther with the administration senators ;
that he Is adamant against any reser
vations except Interpretative ones and
that he prefers to have Democratic sen
ators try to convert Senator Lodge
rather than try to convert him.
The president. It Is understood, feels
that he made his position clear to Sen
ator Glass when the latter was at the
White House some, days ago and .won
ders why Democratic senators think, it
necessary for him to reiterate.
The position reported taken by the
president was taken to Indicate that he
would decline to see Senator Simmons
to discuss compromise, and would so in
form Senator Hitchcock.
If, in replying to Hitchcock, the presi
dent thus rebuffs those Democrats who
want to compromise with Lodge on a
reservation to Article X, all hope of
ratification will finally be gone. Demo
cratic leaders said today. They said the
president's refusal to discuss the situa
tion, if he should refuse, would anger
some of his followers, but scarcely to
the paint of causing them to revolt
against his leadership in sufficient num
bers to bring about ratification.

again. This is not so. Js it necessary
to marry again simply because a per
son is divorced? I don't think so. I
merely wanted to be free. Mr. Moor
and I have been separated for three
years or more, i- have wanted a divorce
for many years, but It was simply to
avoid such a situation f I have found'
myself in today that I had put It off
so long.
"I sought a divorce because I wanted
to be free. Mr. Moore ,is a charming
man, and most genial but there are,
many Instances when even two genial
persons cannot agree. I went to Mln
den three 'weeks ago with mother. I
had not planned to get a divorce at
that time. While I was there I was in
formed that Mr. Moore was not so far
away, working on location. ' Then I
determined It was the opportune time.
I had no knowledge beforehand that
Mr. Moore would not contest the case,
so I Immediately got a country lawyer
and filed my complaint. 1
"Mr. Moore certainly ;did not receive
any sum of money from me, with the
request that he refuse 'to contest the
suit. Mr. Moore is a gentleman, one
who would not permit such a thought
to enter his mind. After the decree was
granted to me I regarded It as a sacred
matter, of no interest to anyone but
myself. i
"I did try to elude Interviewers. I
felt that, though my career and my
work In the films are; the Interest of
the public, my personal affairs were
not. I now realise my 'mistake. I have
learned now that I do not tmlong to
myself. If I have done anything to of
fend the public I am so sorry."'

EDWARDS TO OPPOSE
MARSHALL IN PRIMARIES
Indianapolis, March . (L N. 8.) Un
less supporters of the candidacy of Wil
liam G. McAdoo find; a loophole by
which his name may le placed on the
Indiana presidential preference primary
ballot, it appeared today that Governor
Edward L Edwards of New Jersey will
have only the opposition of Vlre Presi
dent Thomas Riley Marshall in the Dem
ocratic contest in this state.
A political coup by which a petition to
have Edwards' name placed on the pri
mary ballot was filed ' at the last mo
ment last night, caused Marshall's sup
porters to follow suit. Backers of the
McAdoo candidacy had agreed with Mar
shall's friends not to file and they pre
sented no petition.
Unexpected announcement that yester
day wss the last day for filing petitions
for higher offices left the situation to
day somewhat beclouded. It had been
supposed candidates could file today.
