"We have to meet the enormous prob

carry some 3,600,000 through the winter,"
is the message of ' Herbert Hoover to
Chairman Strong. . "I realise that It IS
difficult to ret the attention nf Dip niih-
lie because of the large demands of the
past few years and existing business de
pression in many sections, coupled with
apathy towards Kuropean problems.
Nevertheless, this child-feeding problem
continues and is of paramount import
ance. The world is so filled with despair
and the war has already exacted such a
.ion or young lives mat there ts a heavy
"responsibility on all-of us who' care for
civilization and progress, to exert every

ITALIAN GENERAL
DEFIED BY POET
Rome, Dec. 3. (U. P.) Gabriels
d'Annunzio today sent a note of de-.
fiance to General Cavlglia, com
manding the Italian forces surround
ing Fiume. Caviglla had demanded
that d'Annunzio evacuate Arbe- and
Veglia in, accordance with the Rap
palo treaty.
"I do not recognize your authority,"
the poet's reply declared. "I shall con
tinue to hold the islands. I am waiting
for you to send men to dislodge my
brave legionnaires.. ,
"Your men wlll.be warmly received."
The note was sent while the Italian
forces and the navy were drawing their
cordon more closely about Flume.
The port was said to be blockaded
thoroughly. This led to the belief that,
despite his defiance, d'Annunzio will be
compelled to yield before there Is vio
lence. A report from Pola today said armed
men seized, a steamer carrying supplies
to Cherso and diverted it to Fiume.

murderingr my soul if he could have cv
ered it up and shielded himself, but he
has- been too cowardly to do that with
a fair chance to us both.
"Murder has no .place in his insanity
taking life is abhorrent to him but to
destroy innocence,, to kill virtue, to mur
der a soul those are common to; him
and his type."
WARNS OTHERS
Apparently sensing the iragfedy that
was to come later the woman wrote" in
her diary, under date of May 12 :
"Before another day passes and ere
my life is taken I want to leave this
word of warning to. any other girt; or
woman who may be ready to embark
upon the sea of companionship wiUt a
man.' j
" "Let my poor, ead. broken heart,
crushed hopes and blighted life be a
warning.
"Know your man before you give liim
your soul, and when I say know him, I
mean not only the good alid the sunny j
side the Bugar-coated side, the preten- j
tious, flattering, false tide but know '
the side that is not at its best. Know
the' side the world fails even to see.
Know the side that comes to life only
in the presence of the 'four walls and
you. ;
"Know him at his wovst, not his best,
before you sell your soul and become
ever afterward his slave. For once you
give it to him you can never get it back
again no matter how hard you try. j
"A woman only has power real
power once with a man, and thati is
when he s madly in love and wants all
she's got to give. Once given the charm
is "broken for him the battle ts won.,"
GATE HER ALL !
"This is not justice, but it is a tradi
tion as old as civilization and in spits of
the light that is coming not yet come)
it remains a coldblooded fact at this
time (1920).
"Women fit their lives to men ; men
never fit theirs to women.'
"I do not wish to be misconstrued: as
meaning that I think all men are bad
and wrong. Far from it but it has been
my misfortune to give all I had to give
to a man a living devil (regardless of
what the people may say) before I knew
that I had cast my lot astray. j
"Fate never says to us. Take this
road, or that. We are always far along
the road before we know which road
It Is. . .
"Even-then we might turn back (in
some sense of the word), but we.don't
not so often as w'e keep right on to ee
what is waiUng just around the corner.
"Education, culture all that Js sup
posed to lift a man above the level of
the beasts were used by him to pervert
his own .nature that he is able to descend
to bestial depths that the dumb animals
themselves are unable or incapable of
reaching. In what he calls 'love he is
insane as many others are. The meth
ods of securing the object of their desires
vary, but the motive that prompts is the
same-the end sought, is identical."
POEM PART OF DIARY
As indicaUng the poetical side of her
nature the following poem was found
in the diary: j

Mountain Sheep in
Douglas Are Goats,
Asserts Timberman
Mountain sheep which WV HV Dirrett
of Albany, ex-gulde for Colonel Roose
velt, claims to have discovered in the
mountains of Southwestern . Douglas
county, are a band of well bred angora
goats, according to the contention of A.
W. Morgan, , timber land dealer, who
has offices in the Chamber of Commerce
building.
"The alleged discovery by Dirrett calls
to mind the fact that this band was
discovered by same other hunters several
years ago," says Morgan, "and that
these hunters developed an appetite for
mountain sheep and killed and devoured
several of the band.
"Jimmy Yoakenv an old time" miner
and prospector, is the guardian angel of
this band and he spends much of his
time watching over live band, of which
there are 300."
FOREIGN ESTATES

LOSESMILLIONS
Salem, jOr., Dec. 3. -Millions of
dollars of Oregon property, owned
by foreign estates, : escape payment
of inheritance taxes aggregating
thousands of dollars annually. 1v?
cause of the failure of the state law -
to make i provision for the taxing
of foreign corporations, -whose a
Bets consist wholly or in part of real
and personal property within this
state. :'' I'..'' -y. j - j
This condition is called to tlie atten
tion of the committee named by Gov
ernor OlcoU to. gather data on state sys-
terns of taxation and. ways and means
for increasing the state's revenue In 'a
letter by slate Treasurer Hoff. who sug
gests an amendment to the Inheritance .
tax law covering such foreign corpora
tions. ! 'f' j 'I' . - : .- : - -,. !. 1
As a ipae In point, Hoff points to the
estate of Henry Miller, who died in 1916,
a resident of -California. The appraise- ,
ment nf tha Miller estate showed rroii '
valuation bf $41,000,000, Including prac-
ticallyj all the stock of the Pacific Live- -stock
company, a California ecrrporailon,
with real property to the value of Il,690.
000 and personal " property valued lat "
ll.200.C00 located In Oregon. Because or
the failure of the state law to Include
foreign corporations no inheritance: tax
haa been (received by Oregon from; this
12,890,000 pregoh . estate, Hoff declares.
Frequently a similar eoaditlon arises
regarding the timber lands of the state," -Hoff
writes, "and ..when it, is recalled
that foreign corporations own a large-,
i portion of our timber, lands, estimated as
high as 90 pr cent, and further that
timber is one of the foremost- assets of
thU state, lit readily can be seen wherein
this law fails to operate where' a tax
would be rnoat equitable."
The committee to whom Hoffs sugges
tion is addressed consists of 1. N. Day
