WASHINGTON. Sept. i. Presi
dent Wilson will leave this evening
on a 10 000 mile speaking tour of the
United States In an effort to convince
the people that the peace treaty
should, be ratified aa It stands. Ha
will, attempt to solidify public opin
ion in favor of the treaty so that
pressure will be brought to bear on
opposition senators from their home
territories to change telr attitude.
Facts Are Mm.
In an endeavor to create an Irre
sistible demand for quick ratification,
the president. It was learned, will
make bald statements on what ; ho ,
considers facts rather than oratori
cal efforts.
His itinerary calls for Inrasidn of
the states of some of his principal
opponents In the senate. Most of hla
speeches wilt be delivered west of
Chicago where the , administration
believes antipathy to the treaty la
strongest. Special... attention will be
devoted to the Pacific coast where
the people, according to their sena
tors, are suspicious of the Japanese
and resentful of the Shantung set
tlement whereby Japan gets import
ant grants In China.
In .addition, to speeches on the
coast, the president will review the
Pacific fleet at Seattle, . September
13.
Real Peace Needed.
One of Wilson's arguments for
ratification Is expected to be that in
dustrial unrest and high prices can
not end. until real peaces la estab
lished through acceptance of - the
treaty. He plana to explain hla rea
sons for committing- the United
Slates to the league of nations; In
fact, to make a personal report to
the American- people on his Parts
work, telling them all the "whys"
and "wherefores."

"WHO WON THE WAR?" ANSWERED 8 VETERAN
V OF 91ST OWN IN LECTURE LAST NIGHT
The popular question, "Who won
the war?" was answered by Lieuten
ant Lamar Tnoze, veteran of the 91st
Division, In his lecture at the library
auditorium Inst night when he declar
ed that It was the French pollu, the
British Tommy and the American
doughboy who won the war.
-"The three Important contributing
factors may also be named as having
'been definitely responsible in the
winning of the war," said Lieutenant
Tnoze. "One Is the British fleet,
with its cordons hnttleshlps with
out which troops and material could
not have been transported. Another
Is the placing of all the allied forces
under the conrtol of the military
genius, Foch; while. a third factor was
the American manhood which turned
Ihe tide at Chateau Thierry and the
Argonne."
raid Too Karly.
In the opinion of the veteran, the
War ended a week too soon. "This
is a serious statement to make," said
the speaker, "but I make It because
f believe that the Germans do not
think that they re-licked. Had the
war continued a week longer, the en
tire German army in Belgian would
have been captured, and the Germans
would not have displayed such an ar
rogant spirit at ther peace table."
Various Incidents of his year of
active service In France were given
by Lieutenant Tooze, and among them
was one which he cited to show how
the soldiers thought of home Instead
of the battlefields around them.
"I remember a soldier named John
Lawrence who became 111 but who
Insisted upon marching with the
rest," said Lieutenant Tooze, "Ho was
a cowboy from Oregon and after
wards went into the terrific fighting
of September. Yet when I censored
one of his letters to his another. It
did not mention his Illness, or the
bnttles he had experienced. He mere-
same bright hue also added to Its
charm. The guests left their hostess
with a shower of good wishes.
Metal for the East Oregonian's
typesetting machines is heated by
