DAVIS HAS PRAS E FOR ROSE CITY (Cmrtmjed From Pace One) to be an almost certain sign that a reaction can be expected," again that smile, which in itself would be a sufficient explanation why Mr. Davis was selected to fill the most important diplomatic position in the state depart ment, at one ofiie most precarious times in the history of this country, Just before the conference fn Ver sailles. TAKES PLACE OF PAGE Mr. Davis sailed for England with President Wilson on the George Wash ington to assume the du'es of Ameri can ambassador .at. the. court of St. James in London, as a result of the vacancy caused by the death 6f Am bassador Page rn reply to a question concerning his opinion of the success of the recent dis armament conference -called In Wash ington by President Harding, he said : '"Disarmament is based on a good sound principle,' when it is applied to . a restricted degree, I do not favor total disarmament. Complete disarm ament is riot possible, but restricted disarmament is absolutely necessary, otherwise the entire world will go to smash. "I was not entirely favorable to the four pact treaty, which, appeared to be too exclusive in its principles and not general enough in its aplication and its benefits." ....... Mr. Davis lived in Clarksburg, W. Va., which, he informed the reporter, was the birthplace of General Stone wall Jacksop obtained bottajhte. iaw and academic degree at Washing ton and Lee university In Virginia. Just before hfs appointment to the court of St. James he was commis sioned by President Wilson as an en voy .to a conference called- in Jeme, Kwitxerland, to CoiT-Plete plans for the . exchange of prisoners. Rigid Vormalit'was ' observed with the strict attention te -conventions. The German and the American delegates spoke never a word to each other, but addressed themselves la their native tongue to the Swiss delegate who pre sided t the meeting. When this delegate spoke, he ad , dressed the Germans In their tongue ' and the America in . English, but when he desired to speak to both at once, he spoke straight dBwn tha table at the knob on the door and used only French. The work of this special conference was completed on the day the armistice was sighed, although they had begun some six weeks before, at a time when it seemed possible the war would last Indefinitely. LORD SHAW PLEASED '"But you have Keard enough from me.' let me take you in and present you to Lord Howard Shaw. He will be able to tell you something much more interesting,' concluded Mr. Davis. Lord Shaw, a member of the commit tee of six judges of appeal in the house of lords and a member of the judiciary The picture tells the story and it's good committee of the privy council of the British empire, said he had two things which he desired very much to tell ibe people f Portland. - "The Oregon Bar -association pleased me more than X can express when they surprised me with a kittle band at their dinner today at Lancaster camp," be said. SOME REAL SCOTS "Why. there they were, real Scots, your Scottish pipe band, playing for dear life when I arrived at the camp. They'compare very favorably with the Highlanders in the old country. ."And I. would like to tell you that I believe1 you are taking wonderful ad vantage of this magnificent country. Those men responsible for the planning of your city and its development are deserving of great credit It is, with re gret that I leave tomorrow to attend the Canadian Bar association's conven tion in Vancouver." - Mr. and Mrs. Davis, Lord Shaw and his daughter. Mrs. Vaughan Thomp son, were guests Monday night at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph N. TeaU The distinguished visitors have con tinued on their tour northward.
