WEDNESDAY, ; AUGUST- 2,' - 1822.- vTHE OREGON DAILY- JOURN Ai;l PORTLAN1 GE IAN CANKER TERMED MENACE FEAR NEW WARS Bj E4n Trbr (Copyrifht, 123, by -the United Nrw) Paris, Aug.. 2. This article concerna the most interesting and problematical spot on the map Germany. And Germany's condition at thia moment Uf about as static as a Kansas twister, and twice a dangerous. Any American tourist with more than-half vision who has visited Germany this year will agree that it is the paradox of the world. Of all the European countries, Ger many fs at once the cheapest and the most expensive ; the gayest and the dreariest: the most comfortable and the most wretched. For good measure, in attempting to describe it. one throws in such mixed adjectives as fascinat ing, horrible, depressing, feverish, lethargic, absorbing, infuriating, pitia ble, alarming. EEAS051SG 18 FALSE It's all very well for those of you who are not interested in Germany and its life or death to say it's all very well ; brought it on themselves ; let 'em take their medicine ; imagine what they'd have done to us if they had won ; we're all right over here in the United Lo.s, they can't touch us; nothing the matter with our country. That line of reasoning is as childish and short-sighted as though one were to say. "I've got blood poisoning in my left leg and gangrene has set in. but the rest of my body is perfectly healthy. Yes, sir." Rest of me is sound as a dollar." The fate of Germany in the next few weeks or months is going to affect the world, including the United States of America some thousands of miles away. When gangrene sets in and it probably has by now the rest of the world is going to begtn to turn dark mottled and to pick at the coverlets. SIGNIFICANT I waited towrite this article until I got out of Germany because I wanted to have what is known as perspective. Equipped with this, the first formed opinion of Germany remains unchanged in my mind, an oplnloiv stamped there during the first week of the passion play crowds in Munich Jn the early spring, and deepened by such events as the Rathenau murder in Berlin and the demonstrations that followed it. That one demonstration on the Kur furstendam. July 4, appeared harmless enough on the surface. It was planned by the labor party as a protest against the murder of Rathenau. Thousands and thousands of men and women, marching, marching in orderly rows, carrying banners and singing. Thou sands and thousands of them. No vio lence, no shooting, no disorder. But a Russian 'Just behind me in the crowd that 6tood watching the procession pass by, said: WHAT DOES IT MEAN! "I tell you it is curious This is exactly the way it started with us in Russia Orderly crowds, marching, marching with banners. Men and women. You wait ; you will see." Dtiring the days of my stay in Berlin I had heard that said many times, and it never failed to startle me. "You wait. You will see." I heard it said by waiters and shop keepers and bank ers and impoverished rich (the noveau pauvre it calls itself). Always I asked: "What do you mean?" Always they answered thus: '"There will be another war. We will fisrht again as soon as we are strong. The treaty of Versailles must be wiped out. We will form an alliance with Russia and with Austria. Then we shall go bolshevik. There will be an other war. Wait. You will see." There are many who laugh at this, but me, I think they mean iL I hope I'm wrong. Austria, thus far, has taken its medicine lying down. But Germany, sullen, resentful, hide ously depressed, is going to resist, or I'm a scaredy-at. MONEY MAIN ISSUE Talk to any German for 15 minutes and he'll be on the subject of the 14 points. Wilson, France, the treaty of Versailles, the Valuta, and something he calls Loitchorch and by which you dazedly realize later he means Lloyd ' George. The Valuta, of course, kings It all over any other topic of conversation. Valuta means money value. One hears the word on the streets, in restaurants. . m hotels, -at the theatre, on the vaude lll&L. 11 fell Marines Leave for Wyoming to Eject Oil Drilling Crew Cheyenne, Wyo., Aug. f. (U. P.) A small detachment of United States marines from Ienver was enroute to the Teapot Dome naval oil reserve to day under order to eject drillers or the Mutual Oil comany. The action of the government in sending the marines into Wyoming was vigorously protested by Governor Cary in a message to President Harding.

Rarriev, Inc. Washington, Aug. 2. An united ef fort as great, perhaps greater, than that which won the war. will be re quired to reconstruct Europe. This declaration was made by My ron T. Herrlck, American ambassador to France, in an exclusive interview with Universal Service today. Between conferences with President Harding ajid Secretary Hughes, Am bassador Herrlck was generalizing from specific knowledge on the condi tion of Europe and its relation to the world at large. For reasons which his delicate posi tion make obvious, he could not ex press an opinion for publication as to what form this united effort should take. But he said : "The elements and materials of reconstruction are there and I feel confident that when the critical mo ment comes a common inspiration such as that -which won the war will form and generate the united effort needed to win the peace. 'The work of rebuilding is made dif ficult because the war resulted in making some of the peoples of Europe suspicious and distrustful of one an other." Ambassador Herrick asked to be ex cused from direct comment on the pro posed funding of the French debt to the United States which he was to dis cuss today with Secretary Mellon and Jean V. Parmentier, France's financial envoy. Mr. Herrick is himself a banker, having been president of the Society for Savings at Cleveland. ASSEMBLE-TO HIT CONSTANTINOPLE (Special Cable to The Journal and the Chicago DUy Mem) (Copinebt, I22) Constantinople, Aug. 2. General Harrington. "commander-in-chief of the allies' forces occupying the neutrality zone, has issued a proclamation an nouncing that th$ recent movements of the Greeks have given the cabinet heads and the military staff cause to reflect that the Greek concentration in Thrace began three weeks ago and that the Greek army before Constanti nople numbers more than 30,000. The allied froces 'are inferior numerically. The proclamation also says that re inforcements are arriving daily. (A dispatch from Mr. Brown dated Au gust 1 announced that the Greeks have arrived at the Turkish frontier at Tchatchalja in close proximity to the line occupied by the French and that trouble was feared owing to feeling between the two forces because of the suspected intention of the Greeks to march on Constantinople against the wishes of the allies.) GEEEK POLICT SEEN Greek statesmen have long consid ered the; occupation of Constantinople as the only proper outcome of the war. Iast spring .they tried to con vince Lioyd Georae that the only means of forcing Jjhe Kemalists to come to terms was to permit the Greeks to occupy the residence of the caliph and hold it as security until the nationalists accepted the peace terms proposed by the allies. During the discussions at the last council of ministers under the presi dency of King Constantino the ques tion was again discussed and in the face of the impossibility of over throwing the Kemalist army the min isters decided to occupy Constanti nople. According to information from Athens this decision was communi cated to governments of the allies and while the Greek government awaits favorable replies from the allies the Greek army has received instructions to march on Constantinople. PEOPLE PANIC STRICKEN Mustapha Kemal Pasha, accom panied by a large staff, has arrived at Ismld to Inspect a newly arrived division. In the meantime the Na tionalist representative in Constanti nople has notified the allied high com missioners that should the Greeks at tempt to cross the neutral zone and occupy Constantinople Kemalist troops, held in readiness SO "miles from the city, would also- cross the xone and come to the rescue of the town. The people in the capital, are panic stricken. The Turkish and allied po lice have taken strict measures to prevent eventual outbreaks in the na- tiva quarters. British cavalry ana French military police patrol the streets ready to suppress any attempt to disturb' order. Bandits Shoot Theatre Owner Kansas City. Mo.. Aug. 2. (L N S.)

Passage of a non-cooperation resolution, by the legislature and formation of a non cooperation party similar to the Ghan di movement in India as a means of forcing Che United States to recognize the independence of the Philippines, was advocated today by Vicente Let ens, member of the Filipino independ ence mission, the vanguard of which. returning homeward, arrived on the Empress of Asia. He declared Americans have an er roneous view of the Filipinos, think ing them unprepared for independence. He said the masses in the United States are "square dealing" and would acquiesce quickly if his program was carried out.
