TUESDAY. SEPTEMBER 16, 1919.
WILL BEND PREPARET.
The frequent recent warnings that
ue may expect a recurrence ot the
influenza epidemic, or pandemic,
this fall have led the United States
publio health service to report on
extensive investigations made by it
in the past months. ....
The important facts developed by
the service in its investigations,
which were carried on in every
state and important city, and even
in foreign countries, are as follows
"Probably, but ny no means cer
tainly, there will be a recurrence or
the influenza epidemic this year.
' "Indications are that, should it
occur, it will not be as severe as
the pandemic of the previous win
ter. .
"City officials, state and city
boards ot health, should be prepared
in the event of a recurrence.
"The fact that a previous attack
Brings immunity in a certain per
centage of cases should allay fear
on the' part of those afflicted in the
previous epidemic .
"Influenza is spread by direct and
indirect contact.
- "It is not yet certain that the
germ has been isolated, or discov
ered, and as a consequence there is
yet no positive preventive, except
the enforcement of rigid rules of
sanitation and the avoidance of per
sonal contact.
"A close relation between the in
fluenza pandemic and the constant
ly increasing pneumonia mortality
rate prior to the fall ot 1918 is
recognized.
"It is now believed that the dis
ease was pretty widely disseminated
throughout the country before it
was recognized in its epidemic
state. This failure to recognize the
early cases appears to have largely
teen due to the fact that every in
terest was then centered on the
war."
No cure or specific for the dis
ease is suggested by the service,
but it urges preparedness as the
best way to deal with it.
Will Bend prepare?
It is pleasant to observe that the
Oregon Journal has not stopped its
advocacy of the Mondell bill with a
single suggestion that it be sup
ported. In its Sunday issue it said:
"The whole power of the state
government of Oregon, all the in
fluence of the public bodies of the
state, and the united weight of the
Oregon delegation in congress ought
to be brought to bear tor the pass
age of the 'Mondell bill. Not to re
claim the arid areas is treachery to
the republic and a crime against the
people."
The duck season is open, but re
member to watch the clock and not
try any shooting in the prohibited
hoars. Remember, also, that the
hours mentioned in the law are the
old original time, and not the day
light saved time.
Id Boston, apparently, policemen
who want to strike may use a club
but not a union. '
Big Private Telephone Exchange.
The size of the private telephone ex
change grows with the erection of
every hotel or office building of any
considerable proportions. The largest
ever constructed Is that of a Now
York hotel which has been recently
opened to the public. It occupies 3,105
square feet of floor space, having nn
operating room 110 feet long by 15
feet wide, a terminal room 80 feet
long and 25 feet wide, a restroom 23
feet by 15 feet and a locker and wash
room 30 feet by 14 feet The oper
ating force consists of one chief oper
ator, one assistant chief . operator,
eight supervisors and 110 attendants.
The switchboard consists of twenty
three positions. Thirteen positions
are equipped with telautographs used
for paging and announcing only. The
switchboard has a capacity of 8,840
extension and 180 trunks. The hotel
hns telephone service In each of Its
' 2,200 rooms, and there are forty public
telephone booths served by four
switchboards connected with the main
switchboard. The following gives some
idea of a few of the Items which
make tip part of the telephone sys

MODIFY TREATY
AND YOU KILL I.
MINORITY IN FOREIGN RELATIONS
COMMITTEE THUS CHALLENGES
REPORT OF LODGE MAJORITY
WORLD PEACE IN BALANCE
Until Treaty Becomes Effective For.
ment In Industrial and Financial
World Will Continue.
Washington (Special) The minority
members of the senate committee on
foreign relations made their report
Thursday to the senate on the peace
treaty and. league ot nations coven
ant The report was signed by Sena
tors Hitchcock. Williams, Swanson,
Pomcreno, Smith and Plttman. Tho
report is a direct challenge to the
majority report of the committee mails
to the senate Wednesday, which re
commended a number ot amendments
and reservations to the treaty and
covenant The minority report de
clares that the adoption by the sen
ate of these amendments or reserva
tions would kill the present treaty and
necessitate the reopening of negotia
tions with the allies and Germany.
The report Is a plea to the senate
and the country for ratification ot the
treaty without amendment or reserva
tion, to the end that Industrial condi
tions be stabilised on the basis of
world peace, guaranteed by the na
tions of the world organized in a
league of nations.
World Is in Ferment
"The industrial world is in ferment"
says the report "The financial world
is in doubt and commerce halts while
this great delay in the peace settle
ment has been caused by the majority
ot a committee known to be out ot
harmony with the majority of the sen
ate and the majority ot the people.
This Is government by obstruction as
well as by a minority.
"Our export trade already shows the
undeniable effects of delay and doubt
in treaty ratification and peace settle
ment For the first seven months
following the armistice our exports
averaged almost seven hundred mil
lions per month, but In July they tell
to 1570,000,000. Europe undoubtedly
wants our products but can only take
them in full quantity if our financial
Institutions provide, the credit to
bridge over the period necessary to
restore European industry to produc
tiveness. This private credit cannot
and will not be furnished as long as
the peace settlement is in doubt
Delay Prevents Trade Revival,
'Public credit has heretofore carried
this great balance of trade. Our gov
ernment, however, has about reached
(be end of its authority given by Con
gress and will advance but little more,
from now on if we are to keep up our
commerce with Europe private enter
prise must furnish the credit to cover
the trade balance till European indus
tries get starred and are able to pay
us with their goods. Peace settlement
delays and doubts paralyze this reviv
al If uncertainty continues depres
sion Is inevitable. -
Referring to the action of the ma
jority of the committee, we unite in
opposing and condemning the recom
mendations both as to textual amend
ments and as to proposed reservations.
In our opinion the amendments have
no merit, but whether they be good,
bad or Indifferent their adoption by
the senate can have no possible effect
except to defeat the participation ot
the United States In the treaty. None
Df them could by any possibility be
accepted even by the gre?.t nations
associated with the United States In
the war and none of them could by
any possibility be- dictated to Ger
many. To adopt any one of them,
therefore, is equivalent to rejecting
Ihe treaty.
Sacrifice German Peace Concessions.
To adopt an amendment or to re
ject the treaty means that the United
States will sacrifice all of the conces
sions secured from Germany by a dic
tated peace.. Among the concessions
which the United States would sacri
fice by the adoption of any amend
ment or the rejection of the treaty
may be included the following:
First, Germany's acknowledgment
jf responsibility for the war and her
promise to make restitution for dam
iges resulting from it.
Second, Germany's promise to us
In the treaty that she will not Impose
higher or other customs duties or
charges on our goods than those
:harged to the most favored nation
ind will not prohibit or restrict, or
discriminate against, Imports directly
or indirectly from our country. .
' "Third, Germany's promise to us in
the treaty that she. -will make no dis
crimination in atyman ports on ship
ping bearing our flag and that our
hipping In German ports will be given
is favorable treatment as German
ihlps receive.
"Fourth, that'' for s!x months after
the treaty goes Into effect no customs
luty will be levied against imports
trom the United States except the
lowest duties that were in force for
the first six months of 1914.
"Fifth, Germany's agreement with
as that the United States shall have
the 'privilege of reviving such of the
treaties with Germany as were in ex
istence prior to the war as- we may
stone desire.
Promise to Restore Proporty Lost.
"Sixth, Germany's promise to us to
restore the property of our citizens
seized in Germany, or to compensate

the owners.
"Seventh, Germany's very important
agreement validating all acta by lha
United States and by the alien prop
erty custodian by which we seized and
proceeded to liquidate $800,000,000
worth of proporty in the United States
belonging to German citizens.
"Eighth. Germany's agreement that
the. proceeds of the snlo of those prop,
ertles may bo used to compensate our
citizens in Germany, if Germany fulls
to do so, or to pay debts which Qor
many or Germans owe to American
citizens, or to pay American pre-war
claims against Germany for property
destroyed and Uvea taken similar to
the losses because of tho destruction
of the Lusltania.
"Ninth, Germany's agreement that
she will compensate her own citizens
for property, patents, and other tilings
belonging to them in the United States
seized during the war by our govern
ment "Tenth, Germany's agreement that
no claim can be made against the
United States in respect to the use or
sale during the war by our govern
ment or by persons acting tor our
government, of any rights In Indus
trial, literary or artistic property, in
cluding patents.
Shipping Agreement Affected.
"Eleventh. Germany's agreement
that the United States shall retain
over 500,000 tone of German shipping
seized In American ports which much
more than compensates us for shipping
lost during the war.
"Twelfth, we would lose our mem
bersblp on the reparations commission
which will be the most powerful in
ternational body ever created and
which will have enormous control over
the trade aad commerce ot Germany
with the rest ot the world for years
to come. It not only supervises the
use of German economic resources
and the payment of reparations, but
It can restrict or expand Germany's
Imports and distributes much of her
desirable exports, including dyes. In
no way can the United States assure
Itself against discrimination in Ger
man Imports and financial policies un
less we have a member upon this great
reparations commission.
"We are therefore, without any
qualification, against amendments.
"The reservations proposed by the
majority of this committee are of such
a character as at once betray their
authorship. They are the work of
senators organized for the purpose of
destroying the league and possibly de
feating this treaty. Their phraseol
ogy is such as make this purpose plain.
They are in no sense interpretative
reservations to be used to make clear
language in the treaty that might be
considered doubtful, but they are so
framed as to receive the support of
senators who desire the defeat of the
treaty.
Reservations Held Alterations.
"While masquerading in the guise of
reservations they are in fact altera
tions of the treaty. They have all the
vices of amendments and the addi
tional vice of pretending to be what
they are. not. Presented as parts of
the resolution to ratify the treaty
they would In fact, If adopted, result
In its defeat. All of them apply to
the league pf nations section of the
treaty. Those, who oppose the league
