AMERICAN FRIENDSHIP VITALLY

I1ERLIN. March 6. "What is sen
timent in America toward Germany?
Is America ever going to be friendly
toward us again?"
These are tho most frequent ques
tions an American meets in travel
ling about Gormuny. The writer has
Just roturned from a journey on
which he had an opportunity to ques
tion and be questioned. And he
found that the two above constituted
the leading things In which the tra
velers were Interested.
Some of them askod In the man
nor of people who didn't or wouldn't
understand why Ame.rlca came in the
war. Othors asked hopefully; they
were for the most part persons with
relatives In America, nnd they hoped
that relations would again be friend
ly in the near future.
Sctf-lntcrest plays the largest role
In tho questions. Gormans realize
America Is the land with the money
bags at this time. And they are In
terested In friendly relations main
ly because they feol' that such rela
tions would moan added food and
added raw materials from the Amer
ican storehouse.
It was Interesting to check up on
Gorman attitude as to the Katsor. On
a train botween Hamburg nnd Klot,
there was a middle aged Gorman of

WASHINGTON, D. C. March 5.
President Wilson may warn the al
lies that it will be necessary to with
draw the Versaillea treaty from the
senate it the Turks are allowed to
remain in Constantinople, it was
learned today. It is pointed out on
high authority that should the
United States Join the league of na
tions, and the Turks be permitted to
remain in Constantinople. America
would be in the position of being ob
ligated to protect a settlement to
which the nation is opposed.

he was monnrchistically Inclined, but
said emphatically he and his circle
of friends were quite opposed to the
return of Wilhelm. A republic for a
time would suit them: then 1( quiet

like a limited monarchy. A woman
of perhaps forfy evidently a buyer
wasn't Interested in Wilhelm's re
turn. Others indicated their feelings
variously, but whether they wanted
a monarchy again 1 or not, they
weren't favorable to having the
former Kaiser return. A wounded
officer complained of present-day con
ditions. He could get no work be

ernment was cutting off his support.
"That Is the thanks of the Father

BARBERS SEEK
A COMPROMISE
TWO SHOPS HOLD OUT AGAINST
EVEN 10-CENT ADVANCE IN
HAIRCUTS MEETING MAY
SETTLE QUESTION.
With two barber shops in the city
holding out against any raise In the
price of haircuts, but acceding to all
other demands made by the local,
the disagreement as to prices has
simmered down to a question of whe
ther or not a 60 cent haircut shall
be declared. This it is hoped to set
tle at a joint meeting of master bar
bers and journeymen wbjch will
probably be called tonight.
As the de.mand was first made
Wednesday night, It included a 10
cent neck shave, a 15 cent mustache
trim, and a six bit haircut, a 50 per
cent raise on the last named item.
Two shops, the Pastime and the
Metropolitan were against the ad
vance, but finally gave in on every
point with the exception of the hair
cut. The journeymen's reply was an
offer to compromise on a 60 cent
basis, but this has so far failed to
find favor with the two shops in ques
tion. One. journeyman stands with the
minority of master barbers in oppos
ing the advance, members of the
local stated this morning.
SEES LITTLE HOPE
OF GOVERNMENT AID
Cooperation of Districts in Des
chutes Project Needed to Put
Through Reservoir.
In connection with the proposed
meeting of directors of the irriga
tion units of the greater Deschutes
project, announced for Monday,
March 15. Ill Redmond, statements
made by A. D. Anderson, secretary
of the North Unit district, in a letter
recently received by The Bulletin, are
of value.
"We hope that in the near future
we can meet with all interested par
ties of Central Oregon and discuss
the building of the Benham Falls res
ervoir, and that all lands which want
water from this proposed reservoir
will see their way clear to go with
us and help in Us construction," Mr.
Anderson writes. "It does not seem
at all likely that we will be able to
get our Uncle Sam to help us, and
If he does fail we will have to help
ourselves, and it seems quite feasible
that each district or section can con
tract one with the other, on a per
acre basis tor the coustruction of the
dam.
"Then when this is done, if the
interests of two or more of the sec
tions run the same way, we can still
further contract with each other.
This will be possible where districts
are formed, and we will have to have
districts on land which Is not so org
anized. The idea of a district Is for
the land to get water and the,n oper
ate Its system for the good of the
laud and not tor individual profit and
betterment. This should preclude
jealousy of one kind and another
and I feel that we should ninko real
progress this summer with irriga
tion plans."

. WASHINGTON, D. C, March 5.
'A definite move to end the debate)
on the peace treaty will be made In
the senate tomorrow, members of tha
upper house indicated today. This
may come in the form of a motion
to recommit the treaty to the foreign
relations committee, thus getting It
out of the senate, or it may be a mo
tion to bring up Article 10 of tha
league of nations covenant at once,
thus coming quickly to the core of
the whole matter.
Debate long ago paused from tha
high plane of parliamentary proceed
ure and language upon which the
senate usually conducts its deiibera-
tions. ,
The democrats are, awaiting word
from the White House concerning
the proposed compromise on Article
10 prepared by Senator Kellogg. Tho
proposal has passed through the
hands of Senator Lodge, whose res
ervations have been up In the senate
this week, was sent to the democratic
leaders, and by them transmitted to
the White, House with the request
that President Wilson pass on it.
There is little hope among the
senators that the president will ac
cept It.
Senator Hitchcock wrote President
Wilson today asking him to receive
Senator Simmons as the emissary of
democratic senators who want a com
promise, on the reservation to Article
10. it was learned.
ARCTIC BIRDS ARE
DRIVEN BY STORMS
Northern Varieties Seek Refuge la
New England Following Period
of Severe Cold.
HARTFORD. Conn., March 5.
Deep snows and an unusually severe
winter In the Arctic regions are be
lieved to have caused the migration
tp this state of thousands of birds
seldom seen in this latitude.
Last December the same phenom
ena was observed and noted in New
Hampshire and Maine by John Bur
roughs, the celebrated naturalist and
bird student. Burroughs attributed
the cause to unusual conditions in
Greenland and Labrador and pre
dicted a severe winter to follow. That
he .was right in his contention is
now borne out here in Connecticut
not only by the arrival of these
strange birds, but by weeks of zero
weather and heavy snowstorms.
The Arctic birdB include varieties
of snow buntings, grosbeaks, shrikes
and woodpeckers.
BEND POST FAVORS
SOLDIER AID LAWS
Telegrams Ordered Senj; to Senators

Is Strongly Condemned.
Sending of telegrams to Oregon
senators and representatives urging
the passage of soldier aid legisla
tion now before congress, were au
thorized last night at the regular
meeting of Percy A. Stevens Post,
American Legion, held in the gym
nasium. It was also suggested that
personal wires might be sent In ad
dition to the one from the post.
Mention waB made of the fact that
some posts have threatened to
blacklist lawmakers who vote against
the soldier aid program, but such
a policy was strongly condemned by '
the Bend ex-service men. If the pro
posed, laws are' considered just and
desirable, the post Is desirous that
they be enacted, but will use no un
due Influence to secure their passage.'
