OREGON WEATHER " Tonight and Saturday rain west, rain or anow aat portion; Increasing winds, mostly south- f erly, with moderate to fresh gale along the coast HEARTS THAT BEAT RIGHT . A year ago an American captain of industry was bringing ridicule down upon his head by his .Ill-advised effort to hare the soldiers "out of the trenches by Christmas." Mr. Ford's heart was right but his judg ment was a bit wobbly. Today the world is trying to guess Just the mo tiro behind the attempt of Pres. Wil ton to force a peace issue with the belligerent nations of Europe. Mr. Wilson no doubt has a heart just as tender as that which beats in toe Ford breast. But without more light upon the situation than that supplied by the two statements given out by Secretary Lansing, statements dia metrically opposite In their conclu sions, the layman must guess that Wilson's judgment may be somewhat awry. If Lansing can not tell what the president is trying to do, then who can tell? The first result of the Wilson "peace note' is to cause a wave of resentment to sweep over the war ring nations, and especially over England. The Britons were just now engaged In a diplomatic battle with their enemy, and Wilson has stepped in the way and stopped the punch of the Lloyd-George blow. Possibly Wilson knows Just what he Is doing. Certainly lie knows more about it that the fellows who know nothing of it at all. So let us hope that Wll- ton's Christmas gift to the world Is h entering wrin in nnirarait i peace. FEEDING A SOLDIER The average wage earner is a pro ducer. His efforts go toward the production of something that his fel low man needs for the preservation of life or in the pursuit of happiness. But In Europe the millions who bad previously been the producers are now engaged in a calling Just ths op posite. They are bent upon the an nihilation of nations and the destruc tion of the means by which the people hsve heretofore gained a sustenance. Besides being non-producers and waging a war of annihil ation and destruction, the mainten ance of the vast armies of Europe Is So small economic problem. While the wage of ths soldier Is not a great item in Itself, the food and clothing for each individual In the ranks is a matter of considerable expense In the aggregate. Here Is what France has provided In the way of food and drink to each of her soldiers during the first two years of the war: , Bread, 1,008 pounds, the making of which required 994 pounds of wheat or namely the production from 25 acres; potatoes, 260 pounds; coffee, 58 pounds; butter, lard etc., 44 pounds; wine, 100 gallons; tobac co, 22 pounds; salt, 34 pounds; veg etables, 72 pounds; sugar, 86 pounds; Cheese, 4 pounds; macaroni and spaghetti, 14 pounds. This has cost the French government an aver age ol 40 cents a day per man for ths men at ths front not Including an allowance of 6 cents a day that to' made to each soldier to touy a little ."extra" for his meal.

( E Washington, Dec. 22. Recovering slowly from the dltiy whirl of yes terday's history-making develop ments, government officials and for eign diplomats here today looked to the belligerent nations tor the next peace move. As outlined in early reports, strong exception was at first taken to Pres ident Wilson's overtures In both English and Canadian newspapers. This oat spoken expression, seeming ly today has been toned down, the move now being called merely "In opportune." The attitude of allied diplomats here also shows a trend In the same direction. The administration believes, how ever, this feeling, is not sufficient to cast any real gloom out of the sit uation. As much surprise and wonderment was occasioned In Europe by the pres- Ident's overtures is were manifest ed here when his move become known. The first wonderment over, the president believes the warriors will feel far more Inclined at least seriously and carefully to couslder his suggestions. Accurate aonndlng of the allied governments' attitude, has been go ing on for several days. After struggling with attempts to fathom Just what lay behind Secre tary Lansing's two anonncements yesterday one qualifying the other so as practically to discount some of Ha apparent meaning officials and diplomats reached the following con clusion today: President Wilson has made his first step In a more vigorous course determined upon to maintain Amer ican rights during the war. He has warned both sides that In the event of any herculean and final desperate effort to win should pres Don't forget to call at HALL'S ART STORE to do your Christmas Shopping 0en each evening this week to "apply roar wants ent peace 'overtures collapse Amer ica must not be made to suffer. The move was prompted primarily to bring peace before further blows may be struck at the structure of International law. It was msde not only In the In terests of the United States, but was Influenced by the appeals from all neutrals to this country for some strong positive stand. The United States government is determined to remain out of the war If possible, but warns of the danger of unrestrained activities by sit bel ligerents, should the strife continue. So far as Its attitude on neutral ity Is concerned, President Wilson has not changed. He has not switch ed from his strong conviction that the country does not want war It peace can be maintained wltbhonor. He will use every human means possible to keep the country aloof from the struggle. But he sees In the possible failure of present peace negotiations acute danger from the Influence of an embittered people. This government's view has been that should the allies refuse to dis cuss peace with Germany, the Ger man people will be convinced Eng land's purpose Is to destroy. So Influenced, the German people, it is feared, will even more strongly support the very government Eng land Is bent upon disintegrating, and will demand more ruthless, more unrestricted and more determined pursuit of the war, on the sea par ticularly, j This would endanger America. - It would be In such sn event, the administration believes, that the real danger would confront the United States. It was of such an event that the president spoke, It Is known, when he warned as long sgo as last February, when touring the country on behalf of national defense, "sparks from that great con flagration abroad, may light at any time upon our own shores." Allied diplomats believed Secre tary Lansing's first statement yes terday morning, Indicated the United Sttaes nlatnly was not acting for I Germany In making its peace sug gestions. Teutonic diplomats, eome I what startled at the drat Lansing statement felt rather relieved at the supplementary statement of the after noon. DIPLOMATS GET LANSING NOTES Washington, Dec. 22. Secretary of State Lansing's two statements of yesterday, in Interpretation of Presi dent Wilson's peace note, were for warded today to American diplo mats abroad. Ths evident purpose In thus trans mitting the statements wa that there might be no misunderstanding or misinterpretation of the text abroad. ' The diplomats, will be free to In form foreign offices of these official texts and It Is felt that the second statement will serve to correct any misconstructions which might be placed on the first. Despatch of the two notes prob ably will obviate the necessity for a supplemental note, which Lansing said he would send If his first I "verge or war" remerss were mis interpreted. ! The fact that the texts sre for warded to the diplomats will enable them to present to (tie European courts as the official atltude of this government the Idea that the United States regards transgressions on Its rights ss Increnslngly grave, but as thus far causing no consideration of a change In the neutrality policy, letterheads at ths Courier. A elsselfled ad will give results. REJECTION OF PEACE 'NOTE NOT LIKELY Washington, Doc. 21 For th Mine reasons that England and hot allies did not flatly reject the peace proposals of the Teutonic powers, they will not flatly turn down the auggestlons made by President Wil ton In. his peace message, was the expressed belief of some entente dip lomat here today. This opinion was voiced to a United Press correspondent In Intimate and confidential talks at two of the moat Important entente embassies In Washington. At these embassies, two reasons were given for the above opinion: To how officially and formally "any regret" over the president's peace suggestions by flatly refusing his request for such conference would be playing Into Germany's plans, since Germany then would have op portunity to re-state her oft-repeated declaration that the entente allies sre resonsfble for prolonging of the war. Such a flat turn-down would tend to weaken what sympathy there now Is la the United 8tates for the entente allied cause. These allied diplomats did not hes itate to admit "chagrin" over the president's suggestion that specifi cation of War objectives Is necessary. . They said allied speakers have been specifying their objectives for two years and a half and that thsy ought to be apparent to all stduents of the war. - It was this phsse of the president's note one which seemed to cause more regret than bitterness which was particularly emphasized by the diplomats.
