editorial aaid: "As we look
over Europe's stormy ea of
Mood we cannot blame the Unl-
ted States for nailing Its flag
to the mast of peace. It I not
cowardice. It la courage. Pres-
ident Wilson has taken a lofty

WASHINGTON, May 11. While
the president desires the country to

firmness In dealing with the situa
tion erowlnr nut of the slrklnK of the

on the Lusitanla felt sure this was the!
construction to be placed upon the!
president's address at Philadelphia

that his address wasn't un expression!
of the policy as to the Lusitanla but:
merely expressing his personal view.
The president held an extended ses-1

It 1s understood the Lusitanla situa-j
lion was discussed, but nolther cabl-j
net members nor the Whlto Houso

An official close to the president
said. "There Is to be no uncertainty
In handling the Lusitanla situation.
When the president speaks the coun
try will be proud of him."
WASHINGTON, May 11. The
president did not mean to define any
policy ax to the administration's deal

sinking of the Lusitanla in his Phila

Former Trainer of Jess Willard
Reduced to Want by Misfortunes
A graduate of the University of
Michigan, of the Missouri School ot
Mines and of Wesleyan university, a
newspaperman of considerable exper
ience, a professional prize fighter,
with a record few second raters can
boast, a manager and trainer ot
some of the best men In the pugilistic
world, Including Jess Willard, present
heavyweight champion, and now a
derelict drifting aimlessly, deaf and
dump from the blows he has taken
in tho ring, crippled by rlleumatlsm
contracted from exposure to the ele

less thnt he has been force J to ser.e

of Anton d'Jolnvllle. known to flstlo
fans as "Young Jeffries," as told by
himself yesterday afterm-on to tho
East Oregonlan by means of paper
and pencil.
Reduced to bitter extremities by
the misfortunes which have overtak
en him, lie does not look tike a man
who has tasted of honors and fame
and who has occupied positions of
responsibility. He appreciates the In
congruity ot his tale and his appear
ance and smiles understtndlngly at
the look of skepticism wltli which his
story Is accepted. "I know I don't

But this photograph was taken very
recently. It is a snapshot of the mostj
important man In Germany, with the
auJ
single exception of the kaieer, at the,""" i"''"- " -
head of a parade In the recent BIs-mai-ik
birthday celebration. It proves
he has filled out much and now must
welsh considerably over 200 pounds
therewith he produces from an Irmije
pocket a voluminous packet contain
ing hundreds of newspaper clippings
telling of his ring battles, newspaper
cuts showing him In fighting togs,
personal letters from men of note in
the sporting world, samples of pos
ters used to advertise his bouts and
other credentials of similar nature.
He did not cull at the East Ore
gonlan office to relate his life-story.
It was only drawn from him after a
long interview carried on through the
medium of a lead pencil. He came
to express a grievance, real or fan
cied, against the police department of
this city. He had been arrested ar.d
had put up a fight, such a fight In
fact that he might have vanquished
the whole force had they not used
billies. He borrowed a typewriter In
the office and pecked out with the
rapidity and fluency ot an expert his
tale of woe. He attacked the police
force vehemently and his attack was
couched In terms that revealed at
once a mind educated and trained. It
was no ordinary lament of a wander-
Ing hobo. In fact an ordinary hobo
wouldn't have taken the trouble to!
register a kick at being arrested and
forced to spend a few days In Jail on
a meager diet and a hard bed. Bu',
