speeches are the first of a scries to bo

constitution as drafted in Paris.

Riidiencos that, it is not a league ho is
opposed to, but this league as outlined
in the tentative constitution-
Opposid To Any League
Borah is opposed to any league on the
ground that it is America's business
to stay out of permanent alliances with
foreign nations. Other senators who
signed the "round robin" presented to
the senate by Senator Lodge favor a
world organization upon Borne baBis
which will make impossible European
interference with the Monroe Doctrine,
American commercial interests and Am
erican sovereignty. Most of them think
siwh a league can be formed. They are
willing to accept the present constitu
tion as the basis for its organization.
Whnt they insist on is modification of
that constitution to meet objections,
they point out.
Emphasize Many Points.
They, will emphasise" to the country
in the next few weeks this one point,
many of them said today:
' President Wilson ia trying to force
on the United States Iris league of na
tions. Wo favor a peaco league but it
in our right to point out and your duty
to study the dangers that lurk in the
proposal as submitted."

That sponsors of the proposed leaguo
have no more authority for declaring
the league will not interfere with the
Monroe doctrine and American rights
than its opponents have for asserting

President Wilson said there was a
reason for every provision, but in his
two speoches in this country and his
talk with congressmen, did not reveal
one of the reasons. '
That -the proposed league will fail
before it tries to do more thau the
world is ready for now.
That Europe is counting on America

league a success.
In addition to Borah, Senatorf Keed,

Sherman and Kenyon have partially

Washington, March 0. With all pub

completed today, Secretary Glass was
attempting to reach a conclucion on
these points:
1 Whether to float a note issue of

2 Whether to use the authorization
still remaining for a bond issue of $5,
000,000,000, and,
3 The rato of interest to offer, if a
noto issue is decided upon.
Should the bonds bo used in the vic
tory loan the rate must be 4 and 1-2 per
cent, that being fixed by law. It was
understood, tho maturity date of the
term notes, if they are sold, will be
fivo years. Tho bonds must have a
maturity date of 20 years.
Tho date of the campaign, fixed ten
tatively at April 21, may start a week

But both the opening date and tho
term of the campaign arc sunjeet to
changes to meet conditions which may
develop before it is lnnnched.
Regardless of whether the next war
loan is of bonds or short tcnn uuies,
it can bo stated that there will be no
difference in the sale. Installment

Frenchmen and Americans are said to
bo worrying over rumors that the Am
cricans are fraternizing with the Ger
mans; that many of tho boys from
tho states speak German just as some
of the Bhiuclanderg speak English;
that tho Germans give the Americans
warm rooms, couil'ortablo beds, bluck
thuir boots, and sue that they get del
icies.
' Well, there may be rumors oZ i ra-
Leiuization, but they are rumors on

er of tho American, sector, to a corres
pondent of the United Press head
quarters hero.
''If an American speaks to a Ger
man man or woman he is arrested.
Tl,o only exception is in tho case of
children. There is an inhorent love
of little folk in the hearts of tho Am
erican soldiers, and all tho regulations
in tho world will not prevent them
from playing with tho kids."
The general was asked if the Ger
mans were short of food in the Am
erican sector.
"They seem to have plenty of it,"
he answered. " Vegetables are com
mon and cheap, the only shortage be
ing in fats and milks."
" -In one or two towns Jhcro was a
complaint from the Germans that
liiuy had no livestock of fowl, but we
noticed a lot of chickens. Someone
asked tho Germans why they did not
cut the chickens. Ho caught one and
showed a number on its leg. The sys
tematic German authorities hud made
the owner of tho chickon responsible
for throe -eggs a week.
"There is plenty of gamo in the
forests, wild boar being good table
diet, also breeding rapidly. The
American soldiers were potting this
gamo when we issued orders prohibit

Fifteen large sheds, located in var
ious squares, were opened for the sale
of government-controlled provisions.
More will bo opened as soon aa possible,
l'liose Biipplios consist principally of

STILL EXPECT EXTRA
SESSION BEFORE HAY
Few Members Believe Wilson
fill Call Congress Before
His Return.
Washington, March 6. There is a
lurking hope among some members of
congress still in Washington that tho
extra session may yet be callod before
tho president s return, they said today.
Those who expressed this hope based
it on what they eallod the frantic stale
of mind of railroad men loft in the
lurch by tho senate 's failure to pro
vide the $750,000,000 badly needed by
the raidroad administration. They said
the greatest pressure will be brougiit to
bear upon the prosident from this sourco
to get congress back at work.
The president, however, is ounting
on returning to the United States with
the peace treaty sooner than he had ex
pected a l it is believed umiKoiy by
democratic lenders that he will call an
extra session bef ora T?jy.
Meantime, after a bitter dight, the
conforenco of governors and mayors
here is on record today against any
move to demand an extra session of
congress.
Mryor Holph of San. Francisco ex
changed hot words with Governor Cox
of Ohio when the former's resolution
demanding that President Wilson call
an extra ession to pass upon bills re
ported unfavorably by the committee'
on resolutions, of which Cox was chair

Sat Francisco, March 6. Seven hun
dred riveters were laid off t the Shaw-
hatcher shipyards today as a result of
the spreading effect of the machinists'
anion strike foia 44 hour -week, accord-:
ing to union leaders. They predict ev-
pry yard in the bay district will be
forced to lay off men, owing to refusal
of the California Metal Ttades to re

as offered by the employers.
FUNERAL OF GOVERKOR
WlfflyCOHBt TODAY
After Impressive Service At
M. E .Church, Burial Was ill
Mount Crest Abbey.
With moniberB of the Oregon Agricul
tural College cadets standing at guard,
tho body of Governor James Withy
combe lay in state today at the First
Methodist church from uown until 2
o'clock. Before tno beginning of the
funeral services the casket was closed.
Dr. E. N. Avison, pastor of the church
who delivered the funeral sermon, chose
as his text, Joshua, first chapter, sec
ond vciso: "Moses my servant is dead.
Now therefore arise." Dr, Avison said
in part: '
"This scripture is a statement of the
fact of death to us all and also a call
to duty to all. Timo gathers itself
into a great life, and when that life
closes, it would seem as if a great
chasm was left.
. ' ' But let us remember that God a
lows no gaps in his Providence. Ho
can bury tho best and tho greatest of
us and history moves on ag if nothing
had occured.
' ' The great thing" to know of any one
is their cliaractor, as character is immor
tal, and this is where this man appears
to the greatest advantage.
"However we might differ with him,
no one could over call into question his
honesty and integrity and patriotism.
Tt is these things tho people have reeog
nizod in him and have mado possible
his election to the highest offico in tho
state. . " '
"Now therefore ariso, is the call of
this hour. The call to make effective
that for which the name of James
Withycombo standg for. It is a call
o realize in the state the things he has
tried to work out in the 25 years of
his publie life. It is a call to make ef
fective in the nation the patriotism
which was one of Governor Withy
oombe'g strongest characteristics.'
"Every great lifo must be measured
by three fundamental institutions the
home, tho stalo and tho church. They
aro equally of divine origin and a man
i works out his destiny measured bv those
standards, 4. The, life of .Tames Withy
eombe, from these, standpoints, appeals
to the best possiblo advantage"
Following the address of Dr. Avison,
Wallace MeCainant, former judgo of the
supreme court, spoke briefly in his eu
logy of tho governor. -
With tho officers of the military
companies at Portland and with the ca
dets of tho Oregon Agricultural Col

Prague, Czoeho-Slovakia, Feb. 5. (By
Mail.) tho "passivo" resisteance" as
the. war time 'opposition of the Czecho
slovak people to the old Austrian- Hun
garian government was called, was an
oxcoodingly effective means of fight
ing the Hnpsburgs, as after tho war re
volutions have shown.
Though the Czecho Slovaks wero sus
pected and suppressed too completely
to revolt with .force, until toward the
ond fo the war, they refused to fight
for Austria. . Thousands escapod and
joined Russian, Italian aud French arm
ies, and aguiuut these countrymen the
conscripted Czechoslovaks refused to
fight. .
They wore drafted into the army,
and in many cases sent to the front.
At tho first opportunity they surrend
ered in groups. From irague an or
ganized system of arranging surrender
was conducted. Representatives were
sont out to bIiow soldiors at the front
how to surrender in groups without be
ing killed,
Was Passive Resistance.
In a military way tho "passive re
sistance " 0f the Czecho SlovnkB wag
as disastrous to the Austrian army as
the enemies' fire, according to offioers
who had to deal witlt, the Czecho Slo
vaks. The Czechs demoralized any unit
they were attached to, and had to
bo gmvrdod continuously. -
Hundreds of the Czechs retused to
answor to tho Hapsburg call to sorvice
nud hid in cellars ani in small towns
or in the country year in and year out.
From time to time they were able to
organizo rositance to tho Austrians but
tho revolts fuilod for lack of supplies.
Within the Czecho Slovak aroa tho
people refused to subscribe to tho Aus
trian loans, and hid their money, gold
and silver, until they could uso it for
the new republic. When tho Germans
and Austrians demanded food, the
Czechs hid it. They refused to work in
factories used for war material manu
facture, and deliberately destroyed war
machinory to help the allies. Thousands
wero imprisoned or killed for pro-ally
efforts. There are thousands of Czecho
Slovak martyrs as a result of their
" passive resistance."
