tive sources today.
Much of tho work in preparing drafts
of tho variou8 nations' programs for
Hie league is being- done by the rcspeo-
tivo delegations outside the joint mect
it'.Ks and it was expected tho prelim
inaries would bo in such shape as to

outlines of the plans tomorrow. The
Am(ican delegation, it is understood,
spout two hours in going over their
Icagno plans late yesterday, with the
result that tho formal draft was prac
tici.lly completed. Yet it was report
ed that neither tho American nor tho
British plans would be presented in
their entiroty tomorrow, though they
nr"c farther advanced as regards details
than any of the others. Apparently
. president Wilson and Premior Lloyd
Oeorgo will wait until tho other pro

presence of Marshal Foch, Field Mar
shal rlaig, Ueneral Diaz and other mem
bers of the associated powers' military
council.
Some Want Delay.
Alleged efforts to delay crystalliza
tion of the league of nations, or at
least to obstruct tho laying down of its
freedom of principles as applicable to
questions of territorial rights, were
scon today in cttcmpts by certain pow
erful political cliques to have Premier
Clemenceau demand the Sanr valley
ana byria tor France.
. As announced by the United Press
two weeks ago, Clemonce.EU gave the
associated powers reason to bclievO he
would not press France's claim to those
two territories. It is known he is ad
hering to this decision, but ho is under
roing tho strongest pressure from the
financially powerful colonial faction.
That tho American dolegctcs, supported
by tho British, have no intention of al
lowing such a plan to succeed is obvl
ous. With Clemenceau sticking to his
decision, it is certain the colonialists
will fail.

RUMORS OF FRECIION
BETWEEN FRENCH AND
Correspondent Tells Of Little
Incidents That First Start-
ed Stories.
By Webb Millar
(United Press staff correspondent)
American Headquarters in Germany,
Jan. 22. (Delayed) To quiet rumor)
ovidcutly in circulation that there is
considerable friction 'between the Am
erican and French armies, some inci
dents from which such a feeling might
have arisen, are presented.
Undeniably there was somo feeling
for a time on the 4art of the men of
the Third army, but it originated from
minor causes and: has entirely disap
peared now. Publication of somo of the
incidents from which this feelirig start
ed wiH do more than anything else to
bailt exaggerated reports.
As tlio Third army reachod tho banks
of tho iRhino, there was a suudon
change in orders from the allied high
command by which French troops came
up and occupied the southern portion
of the 'bridgehead. This necessitated
much shitting about of tho American
troops and caused several divisions to
march 36 miles farther to reach the
new areas assigned to thein. It also de
prived men of tho Third and Forty Sec
ond divisions of the honor of crossing
tho Iiliiue. Naturally the men were dis
satisfied, inasmuch as it caused much
extra laTwr and marching. .
Had False Impression
Tho French apparently were under
the impression ithat the Americans
should enforce regulations which the
French themselves had put into effect.1
For instance, when a French regiment
marched through CobilenB and was re
viewed by General Dickman, several
iFreneh officers circulated through the
crowds and knocked off tho hats of
German civilians as the color passed
and when the American national an
them was played. The Americans had
promulgated no regulation regarding
civilians removing their hats when the
colors passed, and gome of the Third
army officers disapproved the proced
ure. Then, human-like, the American sol
diers recalled peMy personal incident
in France, such as overcharging, which
could occur anywhere, and other small
affairs that wnre inevitable, This add
ed to the feeling of dissatisfaction.
Other incidents cropped out, mostly tho
outgrowth of misunderstandings. But
within a week or two this feeling sub
sided and little of it can now be dis
cerned. On the whole, it was what might be
expected in any army lying dormant.
Soldiers are notorious grumblers and
kicking about everything and anything
is one of the American doughboy's
most prized prerogatives.
When not cussing the mesa sergeant,
the Y. M. C. A. or congress, they are
cussing something eise. For a week or
so it was tho French. So far as can ba
determined, the above incidents are
solely responsible for the nuinors
afloat.

Explained To Legislators That
Expenses For Institntioa
Had Increased
' Dr. R. E. Lee Steiaer fared woll with
the joint committee of ways and means
at a session hold last evening after
tolling them he had to admit a defi
ciency of about $100,000; The doctor
explained how any mnn keeping house
could realize th?' increased cost of lin
ing jeui-eiaclly If ' tlhey happened to
have about 1700 to tare for.
During the , past two "'yean he said
that the cost per capita per month. nad
been $18.48 and that tho nearest esti
mate he could make for the coming
two years wag at tno rate of $2i a
month. 1
Declaring that he Bid not want any
raise of salary for hynself, Dr. Btelner
did spdak in behalf of physicians em
ployed at the institution. $100 a month
he said was most idndeqaato for ex
perienced physicians "I don't want
young doctors just Jout of school to
make an experimental station of the
asylum," declared tir. flteiner, "but
in many cases it seems that as soon
as a doctor is of real value, he will
not stay on tho- salary allowed." .
As to the attendants of the urezon
state hospital; the salary of $40 or $50
a month and-board he .did not consider
hardly lenough, especially as man,; had
been there for 25 years and were ex
perts in their work. " We will get the
hobo element of attendants if wo low
er the salaries," he said.
Fluda it m Good condition
'I have visited the Oregon state
hospilal and find it in better condition
than any 1 have seen," declared Chair
man Gordon. "The institution i in
fine condition. Everything is kbu in
fino shape." This opinion was concur

also by Senator iLaclimund.

for the comino two vears. Dr. Steiner
asked for $958,500. TkVlast' legislature
gave him $716,936. As a tentative pro
gram the ways and means committee
was inclined to do but Uttlo cutting on
the proposed 'budget and this was in
reducing transportation of insane to
other states from $10,000 to $8000; re
placement from $15,000 to $10,000 and
painting estimate from $10,000 to $a,-

Whiilo the inmatfg of the asylum
now number 1720, Dr. Steincr said he
expected about 25 from the state of
Oregon from the army and navy, as
the government expected each state to
care for its own soldiers.
The item of $10,800 for remodelling
tho Salem hospital building wa not
cut as Dr. Steiner explained that the
building wag to be Used as homes for
the attendants anil nurses, (ienator

First Opposition To
Bergcr Appeared Today
Washington, Jan. 24. Tha first open
opposition to seating Victor Bergcr of
Wisconsin as member of the house
came today in a statement from Bep
resentative Gillett of Massachusetts,
candidate for speaker in tho next con
gress.
Gillett said refusal to seat Bergcr
should be the very first act of the next
hou) because Berger was found guilty
of charges of disloyalty.
"The evidence convinces me of hi
disloyalty and I believe the country
generally approves the verdict of tha
jury end I think his guilt is sufficiently
manifest to disqualify him from con

Dropped Nine Cents Dur

There will bo joy in tho hesrt of the
Salem housewife today a9 sue views
the collapse of tho inflated butter mar
ket. Tho Marion County Creamory,
which has for weeks past been quoting
68 and 69 eents for butter and butter-
fn. today announces a drop of 9 cents.
following the action of Portland and
Seattle controllers. ; This will mean a
corresponding eut in the retail prices,
which for several weeks have been
ranging up to 75 cents or more.
In the Portland market yesterday
there was a drop of 6 eents a pound on
buttor, making a total dcelino of 9
cents during the past week. Evidently
tho creamery men have decided it was
time for a voluntary adjustment of tho
market to conform to the law of supply
and demand. Tho excessively high
prices all along the coast has stimu
lated production to such a degree that
tho drop wr bound to come sooner or
later. Along with the drop in butter
goes a slash in the price of butterfat
at stations, the Portland dealers quot
ing 52 cents a pound, which will be
curdling news to 'the dairymen, who
with tho cxhorbitant prices on mill feed
wore just making a fi'ir profit at the
high prices.
Tho break in the market wr.a not con
fined to Portland and tho Northwost,
as reports from tho National Cream
ory Association indicato that dairy
products everywhere aro on the tobog
gan. In tho Snn Francisco market there
was a moro spectacular fall than in
Oregon, end this means that the Cali
fornia shippers will lay down butter in
Portland nt 49 or 50 conts. Beceipts in
San Francisco are said to be twice as
heavy as they were at this time a yet-r
ago.
Substitutes Have Effect.
Not only hag , the high price of but
ter in Saloni tended to cut dWn cort
sumption, but the coming in of Chicago
packing house substitutes has had its
effoct upon the situation. Thoustnds
of pounds of tho white brick combina
tions, retailing at about 40 cents a
pound, aro boing consumed by the Sa
lem housekeepers bent upon economy.
Hcnlly thoro is moro causo for appre
hension than satisfa-ction in tho situ
ation in Marion county, for thero will
bo nothing to encourage tho dairyman
to continuo in business unless thero is
an immediate drop in feed prices. Sen
ator Piorco, of Union county, who is
fathering a bill for the help of the!
dairy industry, im:kes tho statcmcn'
that 50,000 dairy cattle were slaught
ered lost year, and tho killing is likely
to continuo. The bill which is boing
prepared by Senator Pierce, provides
for a heavy tax on oleoma rgarino and
liindrod substitutes for butter, the pro
coeds to bo used in building up the
dairy industry.
Another bit of encouragement is held
out to our dairymen in the move now
under way to organize a state dairy
council which will further tho inter
ests of tho dairymen in every direction.
F. E. Deckebnch, of the local creamery
association, has this week been mak
ing a eanvass of tho leading business
men and bankers in eompany with
Commissioner Mickel, in the effort to
secure members and financial backing
for the organization in Salem. Ho
states that they havo already seenrod
the names of 65 prominent financiers
of Oregon wh0 can be depended on to
back upj the move. Iter they expect
to include all the leading dairymen and
dealers of tho state in a powerful body
that will bo in position to safeguard
an industry that is In dtnger of being!

H. C L Losing Ground In
Chicago Markets Today
Chicago, Jan. 24. Outor defenses of
General High Cost of Living had
tumbled here today.
Butter in two weeks has dropped 13
eents wholesale, the butter and egg
board announced. Pork loins tumbled
9 cents. Veal dropped 5 and 8 cents.
Other produce hat dropped in a more

priced goods, have been slow to fol

tloover'a wn denial. The deniat, sen
ators said, did not deny, but admitted.
While no one chtrges Hoover with im
propur motives or actions, the fact that
the appeal for the famine fund was put
on tho humanitarian grounds of paving
starving Europe, instead on what many
senators believe the real grounds
keeping the food administration's bar
gain with the hog raisers and packers .
has caused distrust. ,
Doubt Expressed.
Doubt coneeming the proper way to
vote hag been expressed in speeches by
numerous aonsitorg. . Smoot, Harding
and Summing, for example, said they
could not make up their minds whether
it would bo better to vote no and deny
rJuropeans American aid, or to vote yea
and perhaps learn later that they uad
helped tho packers "put somothinf

A filibuster during which arguments
against the bill would bo tirolossly re
