OLCOTT WOULD "CUT
Governor Ben Olcott, who has re
cently returned from Mather Field,
where he went as a. 'passenger in an
airplane, has written to H. L. Wat
son, commanding 'Mather tKlcld, con
cerning the route which the plunes
took through Southern Oregon, says
the Roseburg 'Review. Governor Ol
cott suggests that by going directly
west from Eugene to the coast and
around the high mountains, the
mountains ot Southern Oregon and
Northern California may be avoided.
The mountains ot northern Califor
nia are exceedingly dangerous to
the pilots who recently took six
planes across them and they attri
bute the fact that they escaped with
their lives to luck only. Heavily
timbered, with high, Jagged can
yons, they offer little chance to the
aviator whose engine should chance
to go wrong.
By taking the route leading di
rectly to the coast from Eugene, the
planes would Ibe forced to go a lit
tle (higher than normally, due to the
tact that the pass over the coast
range and down the Siuslaw river
valley la made at low altitude. But
the beach offers an emergency land
ing place , at practically any point,
and permanent fields could be estab
lished at necessary intervals..

WORKMEN HAVE BECOME
GENTLEMEN OF LEISURE
Pullman, Wash., June 27 Woods
men, miners and other, workers in
the great outdoors, once patron of
the saloon for days at a time, or un
til they were "broke," now are be
coming gentlemen of ' leisure for
weeks and even months at a time,
thus spending their time off from
work in thorough enjoyment of the
rest that comes to work performed.
according to H. E. Gregory, farm
helpspeclallat of Washington State
college, who recently returned from
a visit to the principal farm labor
centers of the state. Mr. Gregory
met the leaders of many ot the state
and federal labor-supplying agencies
and bases his opinion on the com
ment made, by a majority of them.
"IA man comes into town, say.
with several hundred dollars In
hand," says Mr. Gregory. 'There Is
no saloon keeper in town with whom
be can leave hs money. So, oddly.
strangely, here Is what great num
bers of these men aTe doing: They
are handing their money over to the
keepers of restaurants and lodging
houses. -A lot of them pay for their
board and room' six months to a
year in advance. And then gentle
men ot leisure,. they enjoy the shady
and cool places of the town for six
months or a' year. They have no
care on earth and not the slightest
desire to go to work when their
board and room Is paid for a year
In advance. They are sober well fed,
sleep well every night, and satisfied
with the world Just as 1t Is."

STARVATION HAS

Mental Hiatus Lowered by lack of
Food; Once Brilliant Men Now
Meek Street Begger
London, June 27. Phyelcall nor
mal persons no longer are to be
found in Petrograd nor In all Rus
sia, says T. Hessen, a well-known
Moscow Journalist and member of
the second Duma' who has arrived in
Copenhagen after a long slay la
Petrograd. The mental state pro
duced by starvation, disease and ner
vous strain, he says, forces Russians
to lose their mental balance.
"Their mental condition so
changes their appearance that often
one cannot recognize one's nearest
friend. I remember the impression
I had when I met the well-known
lawyer, Rajeffskl. At first I did not
recognize him. Soon afterward I
learned that he had hanged him
self. "Similar things happen daily. I
think It Is to be wondered that such
suicides do not become general. In
alt the streets one meets still well
dressed people, men and women,
begging. There they stand some of
them with their beads down, dumb
as if turned to stone; others tone
lessly repeating I am dying. Give
me something to eat.'
"Even if one baa sufficient money
to pay the enormous prices one may
make acquaintance with starvation,"
wrote Mr. Hessen to the Copenhagen
Polltiken. "One has to get hold of
a seller and pursuade him to sell by
treating him to some coffee, giving
him the place of honor and so on.
Money does not tempt him. He can
always get money. He needs It only
in order to continue his trade, or to
buy luxuries such as sable fur coats.
gold ornaments or gems. It is not
the seller who looks fori buyer but
Just the contrary.
"Not rarely mothers are seen (who
have left at home their underfed
sick children) pleading with a milk
woman to yield up half a' bottle of
milk at quite a shameless sum and
it may happen that the milkwoman
suddenly becomes capricious and
does not even answer the unhappy
applicant."

Phelan Says League Will Not la-

Washington, June 27. Turning
aside from the more immediate Is
sues of the league of nations fight,
senate opponents of the league began
a determined effort today toward
agreement on a plan for their final
fight against ratification of the
league covenant in Its present form.
Although no definite agreement
was reached, a day of conferences
served to add Impetus to the sugges
tion of Elihu Root for a: ratification
resolution making stipulated reserva- .
Hons to further protect American
policies. What these reservations '
shall be, however. Is a question on
which there still la wide difference
of opinion.
Will H. Hays, chairman of the re-,
publican national committee, spent
most of the day at the eapitol, and
saw many republican senators op
posing the covenant
The chief objection to the plan for
reservations. It was said, was a fear
that the league council might later
assume authority to decide what
force such amending articles would
nave on international law. There
seemed to be a general feeling that
should the plan be adopted, several
reservations besides those suggested
by Mr. Root would be Included.
It Is understood the discussions
touched only Incidentally on the res
