BEATEN HUNS LOOK TO EAST
TO GET HELP FOR REVENGE
(Written for th UnltfJ Prcsi.)
NEW YORK, May 21. Germany
Is preparing to turn to tho oust for
revenge. German statesmen, crafty,
unscrupulous, and full of resontment
against tho western democracies, are
laying plans to break tho peace
treaty after tho signatures have been
forced from the defeated plenipoten
tiaries at Versailles,
Gormany Is looking to Russia,
China nnd Japan for eventual help
In creating a new league to overthrow
tho western nations; control of tho
world. Germany, Russia, China and
Japan aro all disappointed at tho
outcomo of tho peace negotiations.
China believes sho has boon deserted
by tho westoru powers; and tho
Japanese, nro resentful because thoy
have not boon recognized as tho racial
equals of tho whlto peoplo of Amer
ica and Great Britain. ,
Gormany, thoreforo, Is hopeful of
making subtlo suggestions to China
and Japan concerning tho advantages
of a secret league to seek rovongo
against tho west. RuBsIa Is. a neces
sary confederate tor such a conspir
acy. Russia has bobn denounced by
tho victorious 'allloa in Europo as an
outcast nation. Franco, In particu
lar, has forgotten her own revolution
when two-thirds of tho French na
tional dobt was repudiated and $400
In Kronen pa'por money sold for $1
In roal cash.
Franco's refusal to cooporate with
America nnd Great Britain In trying

FOREST PARK
IS SUGGESTED
BY JACOBSON
CITY COULD SAVE BY
FOLLOWING ADVICE.
PLANS TIMBER TRADE
T. A. McCann of Tho Khcvlln-lllxon
Company Evince WHUtiKnc to
Exchange Tract on Turnnlo
for National Forest Iind.
(From Monday' Dally.)
Whilo tho Bend city administra
tion is considering tho purchaso of
acrcago on the Turaalo, above the
new fish hatchery, for a natural park,
a plan has been worked out by N. O.
Jacobson, supervisor of tho Deschutes
national forest, by which tho land
might bo raado avallablo nnd Its
timber preserved as government
property. Residents of city and
county would bo offered tho samo
benefits if the park woro created
undor Mr. Jacobson's plan as It the
tract were bought by tho city.
Tho land which tho park commit
tee of tho council has selected as tho
most desirable of nny tract within
Teach of Dcnd In now tho property
of Tho Shevlln-Hixon Company, and
enough timber ia contained on the
acreage to mean a prlco of approxi
mately $5000 If thoMand wero bought
direct from the lumber company.
Mr. Jacobson's suggestion Is that
tho park site bo turned over to the
Deschutes national forest In exchange
for an equal value of national forest
timber land. T. A. McCann of The
Shevlln-Hixon Company will bo ready
to cooperate fully with tho forest
service In working out this plan, If
the council Is desirous of having the
matter handled In this way.
, Council' Action Awaited.
The question of securing land out
side of . tho city for park purposes
was brought HpTaTlbp 'ImV regular
meeting of tho council, when it was
stated that Mr. McCann would be
ready to talk business with tho park
commlttco on May 20. Whilo the
matter of establishing a government
owned park, at no expense to the
city, has not been officially Intro
duced, it is expected that this wilt
bo brought up at the council meet
ing tomorrow night.
Mr. Jacobson, it Is understood, will
tako no action in tho matter until
he has been informed of tho city ad
ministration's desire's.
Russia, therefore. Is now unablo to
couut on help from tho west. It the
Germans can assist Russia to recover
her balance, it will bd to Germany
that tho Russians will naturally turn
for futuro guidance.
Germany's first step, therefore, In
hei search for means to break tho
peace treaty, is tb form un Intlmuto
relationship with Russia. Alroady
cfTorts aro being mado lu Berlin to
this end. Gormau agents aro la
Russia advocating tho mutual ad
vantages of socret cooperation be
tween tho wo nations.
Onca this movomont shows bIkiis
of progressing, Its spread into China
and Japan will bo doftly sought, by
Germany's loadors. Germany throat
oned this very outcome to Ambassa
dor Gerard when Amorica was pro
paring to enter tho war. Tho ruth
less brutality or tho Gormans dur
ing tho war savors more of an ori
ental race 'than a western nation.
Tho Germans may thus claim racial
relationship with tho orlont for tho
purposo of urging cooperation.
Tho situation Is certain to dovelon
Into a serious menace unlcsii thu
western diplomats quickly begin to
counteract (ho now Qorman propa
ganda, Russia Is tho key. With
nuqsU hostile Jo Gormany's designs,
the.Germaua will bo impotent. Thoy
will tie geographically leolatod from,
the far east and unablo to fm an
effective oriental alliance. The jvisrt
ern democracies, thorefore, Must ro
visa their treatment of Jtwwte, V eeff
Germany contlnuo as a AarQif
plotter alust civilization's progress.
