Paris, March 14. With Prosidont
Wilson's arrival in Faris today the
machinery w;;s set in motion for rapid
consummation of the preliminary peace
(ttetity.
The scheduled meeting of the
pteme war council wng cancelled to
"Permit a series of rapid fire confer
ences by the president, Premier Lloyd
!oorge, Premier Clemeuceau and other
loaders. Practically all the peace work
centered about the president. As all
other details of the treaty have been!
(virtually completed by the various com-1
uiittecs, tho main problem was that of ;
reaching the final agreement. The
leaders in ratifying each detail will
draw up tho final draft. All indica
tions are today that the treaty would
bo finished by March 20 and tho Ger
mans called in about March 25.
Covenant '4IsOn the Table..
Whether the league of nations would
ha incorporated in the preliminary
Itreaty had not been definitely deter
mined. An invitation has bon sont to
ilt neutrals to have their representa
tives here meet 'the peace delegates
n unofficial conferences before the
end of the next week, thus giving tho
nou belligerents an opportunity to pre
sent their ideas. As it stands tho
league covenant is "on the tablo" in
the peace conference. Committee hear
in qs, as well as other plenary sessions
will be necessary if . there are to' be
any amendments to the constitution or
if the covenant. is to bo finally adoptod
before the preliminary treaty is sub
mitted to tho Germans. These discus
taions must bo carried on simultaneous
ly with completion of the actual peace
discovered Body Of Man
With Head Cot From Body
Seattle, Wash., March 14. Partially
covered with dirt and brush the decom
posed body of an unidentified man was
f mind in the woods one and one half
niles cast of Eenton yesterday by B.
G. H. McCarty, a employe of the Pacific
Car and Foundry company at Benton.
The man's clothing was badly dis
integrated but enough- wits left to be
identified as a suit f brown Scotch
jilnid, a satin shirt and and shoes of
g.iod workmanship. His hat was lying
(about two foot from tho body and ft
piece of the natband, evidently the im-
tial part, had boon cut away to avoid
Gratification.
The position of the body and the fact
mar ine man s nena naa Doen severed i
from the body before
it was buried,

Two pairs of glasses, a razor and a'
knife, all badly deteriorated, and a wat-
of peculiar, design were unearthed
Krith the body. . I
'.McCarty, the man who discovered the
body, told a tale of persistent dreams:
of a body being concealed near tho;
spot which prompted him to make ft

would be possible if tnere were but few
amendments.
To Speed Up Program.
Indicative of the desire-to speed up
the pence program it was Intimated to
day that formal meetings will be scarce
during tho coming week, the work be
ing handled mostly by tho leaders, so
as to get tho maximum results with the
minimum discussion.
Sentiment today seemed to favor Gen
eva as. tho seat of the capital of the
League of Nations, me Belgians are
conducting a propaganda in favor of
Brussels, but that city is practically
eliminated by reason o- tho fact that
Belgium was one of the belligerents.
The supremo war council has reserved
settlement of tho Turkish and Albanian
frontiers. Tho German boundaries
howevor, will be included in the prelim
inary treaties.
The problem of feeding Poland has
narrowed down to the necessity of get
ting the Polish divisions from France
into their homo country to keep the ruil
way open. Tho Germans have been
consistently obstructing tho sending of
these troops through Danzig, but pres
sure will soon bo brought to bear upoi?
thoiu to effect their entrance.

FOR MERCHANT MARINE
SAYS SENATOR JONES
Is As Important To Inland
Business Men As To Those
On Coast
By L C. Martin.
Washington, March 14. Collective
thought of the whole American people
should be applied to the future of tho
American marine, in the opinion of
Senator Jones, Washington, slated to be
chairman of the senate coffcice com
mittee in tho 66th congress.
'Tanners, businoss men and citizons
generally havo as vital interest in put
ting the merchant ilect on its feet per
manently as an American institution as
shipping men have," said Jones today.
"Inlund Americans who uover realized
how deeply their welfare is involved,
should wake up to tho fact. In the
years just ahead, it is going to be migh
ty important to farmers and business
men in the middle west, for instance,
t0 know that their products will get. on
tho world's markets on a basis of fair
competition with the products of other
count-ios. To insure this, we must have
an American merchant marine, the equal
or any in ho world.
Jones suggested a vanserence of ship
ping experts, government ollicials,
farmers and business men, to consider
the shipping policy in brass tacks fash-

Jones declared unqualifiedly asainst

Washington, Murcli 14. A score of

facturers are here today conferring
with Director General Hines on pin
for financing equipment already com

Hines expects to straighten out ex

as his first move. This must b done

builders here today hold contracts, in
eluding unpaid bills, totalling approxi
mately $300,000,000.
Some of those contracts undoubtedly
will be cancollcd, according to officials.
Others will bo revised. ' These contracts,
it was explained, were made under war
conditions and for war purposes. Peace
tiino need8 will be the basis for now
calculations.
Hold Big Contracts.
Ihe caf builders hoid contracts foi
$100,000,000 worth of freight and pas
songor cars. They were ordered last
summer by John Skelton Williams, who
is retiring as director of purchases.
t Only 26,000 of theso have been do
Uvtrcd. f
The caT orders have been a subject
of constant differences. Somo rail
roads have refused to accept or pay
for cars alloted them. They held to
the agreement that it was an expendi
ture of their capital funds which could
well have been dispensed with. The
railroad administration's stand wag thai
in its capacity of supervising traffic
it was authorized to purchase all equip
ment needed.
Tho cm builders, in turn, say they
have hesitated over what course to"
pursue. ..
, ')iue of them hft, (,ne on the as-i-umption
that the railroad administra
tion was a sufficient guarantee. They,
thoreforo, bought full quantities of ma
terial for their contracts. A few in
stances wore reported, .however, where
the car builders purchased material on
ly in sufficient quantities to fill urgent
orders. -
Tho manufacturers also will be con
sulted by Hines relative to their atti
tudos toward the proposed warrant sys
tem of payments. They wore under
stood to approve the plan since the
warrants will provide new collateral
and therefore new credit for them.
1,654 VOTERS M
FfllTlOHfOR ROADS
This Nmaber Necessary For
Submitting Bond Proposi
tion For Market Reads.
- '
When it comes to voting bonds at
a' spocial election, the state law Is
very careful to require a large number
of voters to sign a petition that an
election be hold, - At regular elections
tho law makers wcre not s0 particular
and provided that only 10 per cent of
tho vote that was cast at a former gen
oral election should be ' necessary to
sign a petition.
But with special elections the statutes
provide that at least one fourth of tho
number who voted for tho justico of
the supreme eourt receiving the high
est voto at the provioua general elec
tion must sign the petition.
The last general election in Oregon
was in November of 1918 and the just
ice of the supreme court receiving tho
highest vote was Chas. A. Johns of
Portland. His vote was 6,614.
Hence, according to the law, it will be
necessary to have on the petition asking
for an election on good roads, the tig
natures of 1,654 voters.
With this number on the petition it
will be submitted to the county court
and through an order oitara ouun, tht
proposition will be placed on the bal
lot a8 to whether Marion county waftl
to spend money on market roads.
Fortunately for the couaty, through
already legalized methods of raising
tuxes, 89 per cent of the money neces
s:i.y will be collected. It is estimated
that the bonds will have to no iuci
ivi only 11 per cent of the cost of con
struction. The special election is on
June 3 when the voters will have sever
al important subjects on which to ex
press an opinion.

Sinn Fein
Say England Hi
Ireland With i
British Soldiers Numbering Between One And Two Hund
red Thousand Are Constantly On Duty All Through
. out Island. Prominent Irish Radicals Predict, How
ever, That They Will Soon Gain Independence.
By Ralph F. Couch
(United Press staff correspondent)
(Copyright, 1919. by thc United Press)
.Now York, Mar. 14. England is
"holding Ireland with 200,000 'bayo
nets,"Sinn Fein officials charge.
Lori! Mayor O'Neill of Dublin, an
Irish nationalist, estimates the "army
of occupation" at 100,000. . , -
The exact numbor of soldiers, iu Ire
land, is, of course, a military secret.
. But to the visitor in Dublin the mass
of uniforms encountered is amazing.
Sentries are posted at the entrances
of all public buildings. They march
through tho streets in squads and com
panies. All are fully armed and most
of them wear shrapnel helmets.
Ready to Put Down Revolt
'.' England is ready to put down a
revolution here," the Kov. Michael O'
Flanaghan, vice president of tho Sinn
Fein national council told mo just 'be
fore I left Dublin two weeks ago.
"la addition to tho soldiers, there
is the Royal Irish conslobulary which
is scattered through the rural districts
and also polices all cities except liub
lin. This force numbers 1 1,000. The
Dublin police force totals 2t)00. Assum
ing there are only 100,000 English sol
diejd in Ireland and' most, of the esti
mates placo the number at 200,000
the island, with -a population of only
4,000,000, has one soldier or constable
for every 35 persons.
"Compare this with your New York,
which has a population of 6,000,000
and but little more than ten thousand
policomen. That is ono policeman, for
every 600 persons in the most con
gested city in the world."
'' " ' i WiU Gala Indepemdence "i , .
Tne Bev.' Father O'Flunaghan who
has been suspended' from bis church
duties because of U Sinn Fein speech
he mode in violation of one of the
church rules, was unprepared to pre
dict that Ireland would gain complete
independence during his lifetime (He
appeared to bo about 40,)
"But we will give Mother England
a 'divil' of a lot of troublo," ho said
with a grin. "Ireland is sure to be in
dependent in the end."
Jack O'Dowd, who drove the jaunt
ing cart on which I rode from the
wharf to my hotel,., shook his fist at
the ibaeks of a company ot "tin-hatted"
English soldiers guarding the
waterfront. .
" When you got home, tell the Amer
ican people how England is holding
Ireland "with bayonets," he ftatd.
"We're hoping Amerioa will help us
get free of military rulo."
Violation of Rules Frequent
Violations of military regulations:
are frequent, however. Almost .daily
tho newspapers tell of courts martial
at Dublin castle, headquarters of tho
British army there. Windows of mag
azino torea and book simps are filled
with pamphlets whose headlines shout
defiance to the "British military rule'
Sinn Fein .propaganda is displayed and
soW everywhere, itogfnthcr with pic
tures of Edward DoValera, tho fugitive
binn Fein leader, and his lieutenants.
"Men ere arrested, fined and some
times imprisoned for singing Sinn Fein
songs," said Secretary Shehan of the
Sinn Fein national council. ;
Despite this Bhow of armed prepar
edness by England, the Irish aro going
quietly about organization of tho so-
called Irish republic,
Invisiblo government ig the term
to describe the government pf tho Irish
national assembly, because it is re-1
carded as existing alongside of tho
British government," said Harry Bo
land, honorary secretary of thc Sinn
Fein rational council. "But Sinn Fein
ers refer to tho Writish administration
as tho 'do facto government.' ". 1

"It works through 1900 Sinn Fein

he explained. "Through these clubg we

assembly also lg organizing executive

Another present activity of the Sinn

WORK ON SALEM'S NEW
PAPER MILL WILL BEGIN
WITHINHONTH ORSO
Several Other Plants, As Ad-1
juncts To Big Mill, Will
Be Erected.
Not only will construction begin
within month or so on- a $500,000 pa
per mill in Salem, but there will bo
erected as adjuncts to the mill, a sul- -phile
mill, a wood pulp mill, a. large
boiler house and an acid plant. Thesa
buildings will ull be erected on tha
'property that has been acquired for
the purpose.
This property includes the water
power of Mill creek on what is known, ;
as tho old Salem Flouring mill on Trade)
and Front streets. It extends along1 tho .
water front adjoining tho Spaulding
hogging Co. properties.
F. W. Leadbettcr, who is one of the
expert pajicr mill men of tho northwest
is in tho city today conferring with C
fv. Wpauldinjr over final .details, Mr.
Leadbotter is vico presidout of tha
Smulding Logging Co., vice president
of tha Crown Willamotte Paper mills
at Oregon City, director of the North- ;
western .National bank at Portland, in- '
torostod in other paper mills in tho
northwest and will bo president of tho '
half a million- dollar mill soon to bo
erected in Salem. ;
To Be Most Complete i
Speaking of the Salem mill, Mr.
Leadhetter said this morning:
"The paper mill to bo erected in
kaalem will be ono of the most eoinplcto
mills on tho coast and will be equip
ped with ithe most modern machinery
mado for tho manufacture of paper, ,
The mill will make a specialty in
what is known as sulphite ipapera, tho
higher grade, ulthnugh later it may
make news print. The paper making
machine will bo the largest that is
mado and capable of making $ny kind
of papor.
".lkfidos the main paper mill, which
is to 'be 80 by 200 feet and two storiea
high, there will be a separate pulp mill :
in connection.
"The idea of building here in Salem -is
to us all the waste of the Spauld
ing mill. Our other big mills are oblig
ed to burn oil. In the Salem mill wa
will uso saw dust for fuel. Hemlock 1
slabs will bo converted into sulphite '
pulp.
Sulphite Mill Also
. '.'Besides the pulp mill, there will be "
erected sulphite mill and also an .
acid plant. Each of those will bo a sep-
arato building. A special building will
e ereetoa ror tne Doner pianx.
This will be placed just ibetweon tha
.SpauMing mill and the new paper mill
as a matter of economy.
"It may ibo a month or so before we
begin work but wo confidently hope to
havo tho mill in operation one year
from now and to be employing iOU
men.
"We require a few expert men to
handle the &iig machines, 'but most of
..- !.
xne moor wu
1 be drawn from Salem
and community.
Mr. Leadbotter has great confidence
in the ability of C. K. Spaulding to se
cure materials for tho new mill. In
fact, Mr. Leadbotter gives Mr. Spauld
ing groat credit for the success of the
Crown Willamette Paper mills at Ore
gon City from the fact that he has
successfully :klept the mills supplied
