INBPFRIENCE-AS USUAL

THE first great war council of the Allies will
soon be held. Its purpose will be to re-
determine the war aims of the embattled nations
who are fighting the Kaiser. The United States
will be represented at that historic board by
whom?
By one of its living ex-Presidents- -either the
vigorous Roosevelt, with his knowledge OF men
and of their tongues, with his acquaintance with
history and with warfare, with his enthusiasm
and his patriotism; or the wise and prudent
Taft, with his judicial mind and balanced Judg-
ments, his experience and acquaintance IN
America, Europe and Asia?
By any of the living ex-Secretaries of State
either the experienced Root, or the talented
Knox, or the idealist Bryan or the judicious
Day?
BY any of the general officers of the army or
any of the chief commanders of the navy!
By any great business man, any noted scholar,
any preeminent jurist?
No. By Colonel House, respectable Texas
product of politics and business, who cloaks
himself in a garment of silence and passes for
wise. He may know by this time-to para
phrase Mr.. Dooley-the Balkans are mountains
and not canned goods, that Verdun is a fortress
and not mixed drink, that Joffre is real man
and not bit of military camouAage. But he
can not possibly comprehend the great issues of
the war, the vast detail of the program which is
to be determined, the fundamentals which will
underly the discussion and the decision.
With him as our chief spQk kesman at the
council. the United States sits at the table handl-
capped if not tongue-tied
He is chosen for the task not because OF his
capacity for it, but because he has been per-
sonaly servceable in other ways and because
to select some one really fit for the undertaking
would mean that the Democratic party does not
contain such an individual and would be in con-
travention of the policy of the Administration
which looks upon the nation-at war or in
peace-as existing solely for the benefit of the
Democratic party-Exchange.

Corvallis Jury Finds
E. ]. Frazier Guilty

Corvallis, Or, Dec 10.-After being
out all night the jury in the E. J. Fra
zier forgery case Saturday morning re-
turned verdict of guilty. Mr.. Frazier
was given until Monday to file an ap'
peal to the supreme court.
This is the case taken on a change
of venue from Lane county to this
county, in which E. J Frazier was ac-
eused Of forging an Endorsement on q
check for 500 which, he alleged, no
had paid to Dr. w. t. Harris for med
ical services. This check was dated as
having been drawn in 1909. Frazier
was sued by Dr. Harris on account and
he presented this check as evidence
that the bill had been paid. Harris
claimed that he had never seen tho
check and that it was not his endorse
mont, and a warrant was sworn out
charging Frazier with forgery.
The check had been cancelled with a
bank perforating stamp, and had all
the appearance of having gone through
rthe regular routine of cancellation ana
deposit. The Eugene bank officers de-
MED that it was their stamp. The rest
Of the evidence hinged on expert wit
nesses in regard to the signature.
Frazier claimed that the prosecution
was a political persecution dating from
the time of the Booth senatorial fight,
but he was not permitted to bring any
of his story into the evidence.

SIX CLUB CIRCUIT May
PROVE THE SOLUTION
International League Has
Gloomy OutIOOk---Wil Be
Week Of GabfestS
By n. G. Hamilton

Omitted Press staff correspondent
New York, Dec. 10.-Today opens a
critical week in the existence of base
ball.
War time economies are expected to
be announced, following meetings of
the International league, today, the
National league tomorrow and the Am
erican league the day following.
The gloomy, ashen hue Of the Inter
national league 3. chances for survival
have changed to something that looks
little more rosy. Intimations that the
league may decide to continue as a six
club circuit until after the war have
been heard and probably bear some
basis of fact. However, the Internation-
al has struggled along so long on the
bare courage and stoutness of heart of
Ed Barrows that unrelenting hicks are
certain to be made in expenses before
the six club owners will agree to take
another chance.
Montreal is ready to quit and Rich
mend probably would be the other
city to go.
More troubled loomed ahead today
as National leaguers prepared for their
annual gabfest: President John K. Ten
er and Garry Hermann are reaching
sword IS point state in their relations
as result Of Hermann Is insistenee up
on joint meeting of National and
American league magnates, regardless
of President Tener's feelings in the
matter. There were rumors that Tener
might not agree to the selection of
Hermann again as chairman of the
national commission and there were
hints that Herman might insist on
cut in Tener's salary as one of the first
of war time economies.
Branck Hickey, president of the Car
dinals, was one of the first National
league magnates to show up He is
said to have arrived for conference
with Jack Hendricks, manager of the
indianapolis American association club
An agreement has been reached, it was
declared, which will allow Hendricks

sacramento Will Amply

San Francisco, Dec. 10.-Formal ap-
plication win be made by Sacramento
for a Coast league franchise when ths
annual meeting of the league magnates
is held in Los Angeles next week. The
consensus of opinion today among
league owners here was that the pro-
posal would be accepted.
Sacramento will not agree to pay
anything for the Portland franchise,
however, nor will it agree to buy all
the Portland players. The promoters
Of the club there want to take over
the franchise free and be free to pur-
chase new set of players in the open
