PARIS, May 18. Byd Associate
Press.) America's requcHi far settle
ment of the war debts Is ignored with
striking unanimity by the principal
morning newspapers, but Kxcclsior
leuds n few of the smaller political
organs in criticizing the Washington
government for presenting its bill
"when Fiance is floundering in a
grave financial crisis."
PARIS, May IS. (By Associated
Press.) The action of tho United
States In requesting funding proposals
from its Kuropean debtors was fore
seen in France and answered in ad
vance, It 1h said in official circles, by
the -ministerial declaration made after
the cabinet mooting last Saturday.
This was to tho effect that Finance
Minister Caillaux and Foreign Minis
ter Briand had been charged with the
task of studying the inter-allied debt
question with a view to its settlement.
The Qua! d'Orsay received a cable
gram from M. Daeschner, the French
ambassador in Washington on Satur
day giving full particulars of the
American decision but this la said to
have contained no information that
might cause tho French government
to precipitate negotiations other than
those decided upon Friday.
WASHINGTON, May 18. (By As
sociated Press.) Tho Washington
government Is awaiting with Interest
some word of the reception accorded
in the nine lSuropeun debtor nations
to the news that this country desires
to nrrnnge funding setilements with
out undue delay. Meanwhile there 1b
speculation as to' which will be the
first to submit a proposal.
France, whose debt to the United
st.it Is the largest of tho lot, Is
uni.,i .. the huh of the situation
and it is known that officials would !
walcnme nn oiienlug move from that
quarter.
In view of that fact the statement
of the French foreign office that no
"note" on the subject has been re
ceived from Washington Is regarded
here merely as tho Htock diplomatic
denial, based on a technicality.
Both Ambassador Daeschner In
Washington and Ambassador Herrick
in Paris, have been fully advised of
tho desires of tho American govern
ment and both have reported fully to
the Purls foreign office. Whether
Purls is disposed to regard their com
munications ns a "note" is held here
to be a mere technical detail.
IIOMB, May 18. (By Associated
Press.) Italy Is entitled to have
lenient treatment in the settlement of
her war debts. Toinasco Tittonl, presi
dent of the senate and foreign minis
ter, declared yeslerdny In a speech at
Vlterho. The occasion was the un
veiling of a monument to men killed
in the World war. The speech was
made in the presence of the king,
several members of the cabinet and
. senators and deputies.
Signor Tittonl pointed out that
Austria owes Italy heavy debts for
war reparations and expenses of oc
cupation but that Italy has received
no payments whalover. Ho quoted
statements of ionic Englishmen and
Americans to the effect that the can
cellation of Intor-nllled debts would
be chiefly advantageous to England
nnd America themselves because It
would accelerate Europe's purchas
ing power and increase England's and
America's exports.
He declared that Italy hns every
confidence in the feelings of Justice
and equity which Inspired her credi
tors. A message was rean irom
mier, Mussolini expressing agreement (
with Tlttonl's views,
Signor Tittonl had pointed out that
the money borrowed by Itojy during
the war from Englnnd and America
was spent entirely In those countries
for necessary war mnterials. Thus,
he said, Italy's borrowings had gone

Opening Volley Fired at Port
land in Conflict Between
State University and Agri
cultural College Board of
Higher Curricula Lays Down
Rules for Both Combatants.
PO liTLAND, Ore., May IS. The
board of higher curricula of which
Dr. C. J. Smith of Portlund Is chair
man today heard the opening state
ments in the controversy between the
University of Oregon and Oregon
Agricultural college which was pre
cipitated by charges by the university
that the board had established certain
courses established by the board to
the university, resulting In duplica
tion. Dr. H. D. Sheldon opened tho case
for the univorslty after the board had
adjourned from Dr. Smith's office to
the assembly hall In the school build
ing of Temple Beth Israel.
The- board at the outset, through
Dr. Smith, announced that one speak
er would be allowed to present the
case for each side and that speakers
following would be limited as to time.
This Interfered in certain degree with
plans of the university which had ar
ranged to have the presentation of
the case made by Dr. Sheldon and the
argument upon tho merits of Its brief
made by John C. Veatch, an alumus
of the university.
Under tho new ruling the univer
sity was confined to Dr. Sheldon s
statement which rested on tho brief
filed last week.
Dr. Sheldon was followed by Hector
MacPheraon, spokesman for Oregon
Agricultural college, whose talk took
up the remainder of. the forenoon ses
sion until noon adjournment.
Colin Iyment,i dean' of fcbe college
of science and arts at the University
of Oregon, announced prior to- Mac
Pherson's talk that he and Dean M.
E. Smith of the school of basic arts
and sciences In the agricultural col
lege, had reached an understanding
on some of the points contained in
the University of Oregon protest
which was filed last week, and that
they will file recommendations em
bodying those understandings in the
future. '
History, modern languages and
English, and an agreement as to fu
ture requests for bachelor degrees
from Jhe school of basic arts and sci
ences, are covered in the-understanding
and recommendations by Dyment
and Smith. Details of ("his under
standing were withheld by them
pending filing of their statement with
tho board.
The University Case
Dr. Sheldon In his presentation de
clared that the university is in no
sense challenging the larger propor
tion of the wouk in tho college and
that the demands in the brief do not
touch the fundamental courses that
have been assigned to the college
under the board s ruling of 1913,
He asserted, however, that there is
apparent a tendency on the part of
the college to extend under the guise
of permissible "service courses untij
its activities duplicate those of the
university.
"The outcome of this," he held
will be that we will slowly but sure
ly build up two state universities In
iwo adjacent counties, witn no (in
ference in their services to the state
excepting that one of them will have
a monopoly of certain technical
courses.
"If both institutions spread out
thin over the whole field of activity,
instead of adhering to the lines of de
marcation laid down by the board of
higher curricula In 1013, Instead of
havlncr one series of distinguished
courses covering the full field of edu
cation, we shall have two parallel
series, both of which will be impaired
in efficiency.
He held that the college is fully
protected by the 1913 ruling In giving
graduate work in its own lines, out
that the graduate school Itself with
the principal elements of advanced
work, was assigned to the university.
"It Is in the graduate school that
duplication is most expensive and the
injury done to the slate the most
severe.
"Our whole contention rests upon
the ruling that the board has already
handed down, and In the lnterpreta
ilon of which the college has shown a
Lendency to take an inch here and an
inch there, until the effect begins to
threaten the efficiency of higher edu
cation in the state."
MacPherson in his talk declared
that of the 36 proposals made in the
brief of the university many are blan
ket proposals and are not sufficiently
specific to admit of accurate answer.
He spoke of the university as hav
ing shown "audacity" in presuming to
dictate to the board of higher cur
rinnin nnd "handimr down from its
WA S T
to de8reeJMU,erior position of authority decis

Dangers to Blockade From
Within Greater Than From
Without Six Members Are
Court Martialed for Boot
legging, Three for Intoxica
tion Men Don't Like Work
NKW YORK, May 18. .(By Asso
ciated Press.) Internal troubles are
proving handicaps to coast guards
men blockading New York's rum row.
Hix members of the coast guard have
been courtmnrtlaled for smuggling1
Ihiuor and three for Intoxication, It
was revealed today.
Officers have refused to discuss the
affair, but It is known that nineteen
men have been confined for varying
periods In the bounty Jail on Staton
Island awaiting court martial, for
various offenses. Six convicted of
smuggling have been sentenced to six
months imprisonment .and three got
three months each for Intoxication.
I A far greater handicap is the pro
spect of a shortage of men in the
fleet. Fully thirty per cent, it is said,
, will not re-enllst when their service
terminates July 1. Conditions on the
const guard ships call for unusually
hard work and few and brief shore
leaves. Theso are sufficient to Induce
the guardsmen to soek other occupu-
, tlons.
The coast guard has found in the
speedy rum running bont Cigarette,
I a foe which Is all but invincible. Bo
cause of Its vastly superior speed the
Cigarette outdistances the fastest of
the dry navy's fleet. It is reported
to have slipped through the lines sev
eral nights ago and . to. have headed
for the seu."v ' " f, '
I ' "The present blockade Ih continuing
effectively, however and reports indi
icate that within a short time fewer
than half a dozen ships will remain
of tho fifty odd two days ago.
1 A four day cruise of the rum run
ning area by newspapermen showed
that a billion dollar group of rum
smugRlers was being combatted by a,
$30,000,000 coast guard organization.
To block off 386 foreign whiskey
ships of all descriptions which have
been on the row nt various times, tho
prohibition navy has sixteen cutters,
twenty dispatch boats, 203 patrol
boats and 103 picket boats.
FKEEPORT, N. Y.. May 18.
Buses employed by "bottle flsher-
, men" In their attempts to keep their
I powerfully englned, liquor loaded
speed boats out of the hands of the
coast guard were made known here
today by Lieutonant Commander'
Ycandle, aide to the coast guard
(commandant.
One of the runner's favorite tricks,
. Commander Ycandle said, was to
drop old fishing nets in the path
of pursuing government vessels In
which their propellers would become
' nntti nrrlort A Tint hop frlrlr wnu the
heaving overboard of oases of liquor
wflich If struc kin darkness might
cause the sinking of the rum chaser.
"The one-pounders aboard Coast
guard boats don't scare US," one
Kreeport "bottle fisherman" told a
newspaperman. "We can catch thoso
balls in our gloved hands. But when
they begin to whizz their maohino
gun bullets in our direction, 'we
felt downright uncomfortable." f
