The score arrived at by the judges was 2 to 1 in favor of McMinnville. At McMinnville the home team which represented McMinnville or the affirmativewas composed vt Ralph Powd and Sylvester Cross. The Willamette winners were Frank Bennett and Barnard Ramsay. A curious circumstance in the de bates was that each of the negative teams won the decision. Whether this was only a coincidence or" by reason of the nature of the question is a mooted point. This leaves Willamette in the lead in the triangular debating content. It is probable that Willamette will meet Pacific university in a final de bate to decide .upon the winner of the series, although this is now unr certain. kT;owledce of th shootlrg and made a statement to th polic".

Com! St. - Littler & Upmeyer Sems Satisfactory Shoe Store 1 i FIRST WILSON POINT A BLUFF French Delegate Claims Wil son Refused to Permit Publicity PARIS. April 3. Captain Andre Tardleu. French delegate to the peace conference. In another article In L'll lust rat ion dealing with, the peace treaty of Versailles, dwells at length on what he terms the ques tion of silence" and gives osme in teresting sidelights on th confer ence. . Captain Tardleu recalls how the press placed great hope In the first of President Wilson's "14 points which demanded that conventions be prepared with the knowledge of the general public. But. he says. Its hopes were dashed when It became known that President Wilson declar ed this did not mean the making pnb lie of negotiations, but referred only to making public the debates on en gagements before they became def inite. Former Premier Clemenceau Is de clared by M. Tarlieu to have een the greatest advocate of publicity, but asserts that Clemencean's efforts were not seconded by the allied gov ernments which are said to have re fused even his proposal to make pub lic the terms of the treaty when, it was ready to be handed to the eGr mans. They permitted only a sum mary to be published before the treaty was signed. Captain Tardieu quotes M. Clem enceau as having said: "There is a general expecttatlon among the public which desires that all the subjects of our deliberations be known. It is to our advantage to show It the results of our work,. "Difficulties began at once which continued to be multiplied for the next six months," comments Captain Tardieu. "If the conference had not been held in France, the French government would have been accused of defending French t rights. but France's position was complicated by the conference being held in France! The press and delegates alike consid ered that the hospitality received from France imposed on France ve special duty of protection for their benefit." Captain Tardieu declares that to prevent the conference from pursu ing its heavy task with evcess Indif ference, A. J. Balfour. Britisn rep resentative and. .Stephen Pichon, a French delegate, received the news- paperman," bat says that in March when the conference was considering certain much-debated points tn su preme council asked them to abandon the receptions. To the suggestion that u tne pun lie ahd been Informed on peace con ference doings. . France would not have been obliged always to yield to the allies, Tardieu replied: ... "It is fait that France always yielded. Generally, on the contrary, she obtained satisfaction." He gives a list of points proposed which France succeeded in having changed. Among; them were Imme diate admission of Germany to the league of nations, no inter-allied oc cupation of the left bank of the Rhine; no French occupation except perhaps for 18 months; France to pay lor all state property In Alsace Lorraine; no cessionxof the Sarr mines to France and no special regime for the Sarre population.

Dear Sirs: I tlo not think the Sandow truck is the only truck in the world, but I do think there are noue better. . Previous to a year ao I had never heard of Sandow trucks. On December 29,-1919, I purchased my two-ton Sandow. I have 'driven it over C0.700 miles. .Hare ground, the valves but once, and have taken up motor bearings once, which repairs cost me lew than $28 to date. Friday, January 16, 1920, at 9 a. m. I waa headed for Schnectady, .X. Yn and. wu caught in snow drifts 1brei miles leyond DalLston, Spa., X. ; Y., and waa 43 hours getting through to Schnectady. a run of 17 miles. The motor was not stopped during this time. Drifts continued for over 14 miles from 1 to 5 feet in depth. This two-ton Sandow truck carried a load of GS00 . When I could get shoveled down to about two feet it would draw the load at all times. Governor has been opened so that this Sandow truck can make & trip from Glenn Falls, X. Y., to Brooklyn, transferring loads and return in 36 hours, an aver age of Yiy miles an hour from Ktart to finish, including time for loading and- unloading. ... 1 checked my hubmeter for 2,000 miles and kept track of gallons gas used, whieh aver aged 11:4 miles per gallon. This was the average on all roads (state and dirt) in five dif ferent states.. '., Xever yet has this Sandow truck refused to jitart, or has it ever Wen helped upon the road for trouble of any kind. Xor'haa it found any hill too steep for it to negotiate with a load averaging three tons. I never have regret led the money paid fr this Sandow truck. -. Yours Truly, .. k JOriX A. CTTADWTCK. P. S.
