Opening Speech.
BY @. r. BERTnLI.

(By the international News servIce)
Paris, April 2s.-President Poincare to-
day personally welcomed the delegates to
the international commercial conference
assembled here for the first session of
the congress.
The object OF the conference is to pro-
tect the trade and commerce of the al
lied nations after the war. 1t is ex-
pected to result in a grand economic al
lance, such as the world has never seen
before. Parliamentary delegates from all
the nations in the entente alliance are in
attendance.
Addressing the conferees in the senate
chamber this afternoon, President PoIn-
care praised their efforts Ito render more
fruitful in time of peace the alliance
which has been aggrandized by war"
He continued:
Remember, gentlemen, that the first
session of your conference was heId in
a peaceful country CBelgiurn>. which was
not only protected by its sacred weak
ness, but was guaranteed invioIate by
solemn international treaties. The Ger
man delegates met you in this land of
refuge. They thanked the Belgian gov
eminent for its courtesy-and a few
months later they returned to Belgium,
their soldiers massacring women, strang-
ling children and burning Louvain.
Recalls TeutOn Atrocities.
How do they expect US not to have al
ways before our eyes the contrast of
these two pictures?'
President Chaumet, of the French
chamber. followed. He said:
Industrial and commercial Germany
cannot be distinguished from military
Germany; they are one, always aggres-
sive, always aiming at the domination Of
the world. Germany's economic hege-
mony woud inevitably bring about re-
storation of her military power. We must
smash them both"
Sir John RandIes, delegate from Eng
land, said:
THE allies must build up a solid COM
mercial entente. Our alliance Is not a
pact OF hate, but rests on attachment"

Millner Back From
Overland Factory

G. z. Miner has returned from the
convention of Overland automobile
dealers held in Toledo, Ohio. Mr..
Millner reports a most satisfactory
trip from every standpoint. The fac
tory, which is said to be the largest
in the country, was visited and the
making of the cars explained to the
thousands of dealers. He estimates
that by the time the convention,
which extends from the 1st to the
2Srd, is over, fully 10000 people will
have attended it. Oregon sent 1870,
California 115 and Washington 60.
The Overland company paid all the
expenses Of the trip, which amounted
to nearly $1,50O,OOO. The conven-
tion is to become an annual event.
From an estimate made during the
first five days, it is thought that dur
ing the time of the convention orders
amounting to $125,OO0,OOO will be
taken.

Judge Watson Does
Us All a Favor

Judge Watson dropped in on us
yesterday and inquired, "Can do
anything for you today?"
For the love of the board of
health, drive out this fog" says we.
"Well, I'm little busy this after
noon," returned the Judge, "but I'll
attend to it the first thing in the
morning."
And the judge must have arisen
early, for the sun shone brightly for
the first time in several days this
morning and the cold fog which has
hung like blanket over the valley
and kept everything frozen and snow
unmelted on the ground, had been
crowded down into the lower valley
where it hangs like a pail over Med
ford.
A queer and yet natural state Of
affairs is noted in that while the
streets and yards in Ashland still
have considerable snow upon them,
the hills of Grizzly across Bear creek
are bare almost to the summit The
reason lies in the fact mat the fog
hung only about two hundred feet
deep and above that the sun has been
shining brightly and warmly for sew
eral days.
