OUTCOME OF NOTES FEARED BY DIPLOMATS (Continued from page 1) I mi cai.l that he did not agree to ! :lie Japanese mandate for the is- land of Yap. but others who wore nted in the council of four i rr understood to contend that t'i - are records in existence that I -vliat objections Mr. Wilson made v ere in the course of arguments i ;!ul not expressed in the vote that i awarded the mandate. 1 The position Japan will take in replying to Mr. Hughe' note csnnot now be forecast. It has insisted upon its r'.iht to control of tin inland In cotrespondence which previously has passed be tween it t;nd the 1'uited States. ThU correspondence has been published only in fragmentary form, but if has be?n the under standing that Japan expressed willingnes to meet the wishes ol the United States so far as the matter of landing a cable at Yap was cencerned, provided such a concession was not taken to ques tions the right of Japan to ad minister the affairs ol the island under her exclusive mandate. President Wilson has stated that he insisted at Paris upon (he internationalization of Yap. and this is known to have been the attitude pf the American gov ernment at the international com munications conference here. The council of the leatne of nations, in replying to the. origi nal protest of the American gov ernment regarding Yap and the British mandate for Mesopotamia, suggested that the United States send a representative t.i the meet ing of the council next month when -the flatus of tin mmdatcs is takvn vf. It has been held that America can accept this In vitation without sacrificing her objection to entering the league, but administration officials have refrained from indicating what action would be taken on the in vitation.

JJVJW ' ' " INTERNAL Ttt REVISION PUN Republican Leaders Make Progress in Outline Of Tariff Program SALES TAX IS AGITATED Repeal of Excess Profits Act Among Changes Proposed WASIUXOTOX April R Pro gress toward formulating a Re publican plan for revision of in ternal revenue taxes was made at a conference late today between C hairman Penrose of the senate finance committee and Secretary Mellon of the treasury depart ment. President Harding has in dicated he will discuss tax re vision in hl mensase to congress next week. Republican opinion, it was said tonight, points toward several definite principles for tax revis ion. These include repeal of the excess profits tax. whi?h Mr. Har ding advocated in bis campaign speeches, reduction of surtaxes on the larger incomes, repeal of spe cial consumption taxes such as those on transportation and cer tain stamp taxes and elimination of several commodity taxes. Im position of a sales tax is being agitated strongly but without cer tainty of adoption in the Repub lican program. Secretary Mellon, in his refer ence today was said to have dis cussed the formal tax revision re commendations, which he plans to submit to congress. He promised to submit definite figures about May 1 to the senate committee regarding the government's fin ancial requirements for the next fiscal year. Senator Penrose said the sen ate committee's hearings would tegin next week and that the sales taxes would b taken up April 10. with advocates and op ponents invited to present their views. Reduction in army and navy appropriations and those for gov ernment bureaus is being advocat ed by Senator Penrose. 'The army and navy appropri ations," he said, "should be re duced to the lowest minimum consistent with maintaining or ganization. "No sane man contemplates an other great war in the lifetime of the present or the next genera-lion.- , Senator Penrose said that big reductions could be made "by abolishing a large number of use less government boards and bu reaus." "The federal trade commission has been a national stench and scandkl," he said. "Another board that ought to go is the rail road labor board, and a scrap heap ought to be got ready for what remains of the shipping board, which is gigantic evidence1 of Incompetence and Is beyond rescue." TWO MILLION MINERS AWAIT (Continued from page 1.) men and th transport workers will visit the premier tomorrow morning to convey to him the de cision of the triple alliance to back the miners. In some quar ters this visit Is being regarded as a new peace move. Likewise or interest is an authorized state ment issued tonight to the effect that the government still is will ing to call a conference as pre viously suggested, to discuss the question of pumping th mines. A supplement of the London C.azette tonight contains all the necessary proclamations calling out the reserves. The Gazette states that steps are being taken to put Into force all the govern ment's precautionary measures to ensure the operation of the pub lic services and to maintain food supplies. Taxation Will be flurden. Should the atrlks of the triple alliance materialize there will be nearly 4,000.000 persons idle in England. The registers of the unemployment exchanges already ci-r?-u i.awu.uuu persons, and dis location of the industries may easily account for another 500. 000. In addition there are 80,0, 000 persons working on short time. Several cases arbitrated have gone against claims of striker for the unemployment benefit, but the genuine unemployment through the strike will throw a heavily increased burden of tax ation on the taxpayers. The premier in a final letter of regret to Frank Hodges, secre tary of the miners' union over the situation, said tonight that the destruction of the mines would be as fatal to the nation as would have been defeat in the war, and to secure their preser vation must b the government's taramout dntr. The executive committee of the communist party in Great Britain has issued a manifesto congratu lating the miners "on their solid tand against the onslaughts of "apitalism." Hazel Menser's Auto is Located Near Roseburg A Ford car belonging to Hazel Menzer. of Salem, was located to lay near Winston bridge where it was apparently abandoned several lays ago. The car was reported the first of the week by a Canyon vine resident who stated that the occupants, two men, were intoxi cated. Deputy Sheriff Percy Webb waited several hours for the car to appear, but as it failed to do so he came to the conclusion that the drivers had stopped somewhere for the night. This morning it was reported that a Ford car had been standing along the road near the Winston bridge for several days and Mr. Webb went out and brought it to the city. A telegram was sent to the owner but no ans wer had been received at a late hour this afternoon. Uoselnirg Review. Entrance Into Stores Is Confessed by Boys 'More money with which to have a good time." was the motive, given by John Elmer Santo and Garth Johnson, for breaking into three business houses and burg larizing them of small change, candies, cigars, grape Juice, Bevo, etc. The offenses extended over a period of several months and have baffled the police until Thursday night, when Chief ot Police Moffitt succeeded in bring ing the investigation to a dose. Roth boys have Confessed. It is said, to intrusions at the Whi'e confectionery and grocery at 553 State street, Carl & Bowersox. grocery, "S3 Court street, and Foster & Baker grocery, Z29 North Commercial street. They said while they were in one of the stores, a police officer entered and they felt sure they were caught but he did not detect that the loc on the dOor had been forced. The event, however, proved to be a turning point, for it brought them to a realixation of the seriousness of their offense. Before they parted that night they shook hands on the agreement that henceforflt they would lead a straight life. In view of their promise, the business firms have signified their willingness to give the boys chance to prove their sincerity and have said they would not nroseeute Droviding they made good the articles taken. PEST MONEY IS BEETS HOPE Chief Forester Will Ask Con gress to Appropriate Eradication Fund Colonel W. B. Greeley, chief forester of the United States for estry service, informed F. A. El liott, Oregon forester. In a confer ence in Portland yesterday, that he will endeavor to have congress appropriate a sum of money Suf ticient to fight in an adequate way the pine beetle pest In Ore gon and parts ot California and Idaho. It is estimated that from $100.- 000 to $200,000 would be neces sary to wake the fight in the dis trict mentioned. The money of course would be applied only to federal forests, including Indian reservations and national forest lands, but obviously would be a benefit to private owners. The latter claim it is useless for them to attempt an eradication of the Insect pest if the government tim ber all around them is infested with the bugs. During the next two or three months, A. J. Jaenicke of the dis trict forester's office in Portland and W. J. Chamberlain of Oregon Agricultural college, both teymol ogists, will make a close study of the insect situation to ascertain the amount of money that may be necessary to fight the pests. E WILL BE BUILT Eastern Oregon Counties Preparing to Establish Modern System The public service commission has been appraised of a movement on foot to establish a wireless tel ephone system covering Grant and other adjacent Eastern Oregon counties. A letter received by the commission from A. M. E. Kirch helmer, an attorney of Prairie City, representing the persons con templating the venture, asks if the commission's jurisdict on extends to wireless operation and if there are rules and regulations govern ing this system of public service. The public utility law specifies that the coram iss oi shall have jurisdiction over all telegraph and telephone systems whether oper ated with or without wires. How ever, because the wireless systems have not yet been put into practi cal use in the state no rules and regulations have yet been formu lated to cover vtilities of this kind. As repidly as they are in stalled it is presumed such regu !ations will be made. It is understood the wireless yxtem of telephone service would be particularly su'table for the Grant county district and if the svstem is worked s'uccessfullv there doubtless the wireless wtll come Into common use in the state.

Pheeney, ad- TRYIXO TIMES The reconstruction period after the great war is characterized by what may be called high pressure days. The demands of business, the wants of the family, the re quirements of society, are more numerous now than ever before. The first cTect of the praise worthy effort to keep up with all things is commonly seen in a weakened or debilitated condition of the nervous system, which re sults in dyspepsia, defective nu trition of both body and brain, and. in extreme cases, in complete nervous prostration.- It is clearly seen that what is needed is v.hat will sustain the system, give vigor and tone to the nerves, and keep the digestive and assimilative functions health and active.

A dusky, doughboy, burdened under tons of medals and miles and miles of ribbons, service and wound chevrons, et al, encoun tered a Twenty-seventh division scrapper in Le Mans a few -days prior to the division's departure for the States. "Whar yo' all been scrappin' In dis yar war. boss?" meekly in quired the colored soldier. "Why. we've been fighting up in Belgium and Flanders With the British." replied the New Yorker proudly.
