W|[[RETURN WHEN
TREATY SIGNED
sinnott Secures Information About
Oregon Boys Now at Camp Meade
Seasoned Soldiers

Washington. Nov. 20.-Congress-
man Sinnott this morning, on his re-
turn from New York, called at the
war department to secure definite
information as to plans for the re-
turn Of the Oregon troops now at
Camp Meade. near Washington, to
their homes In the west. The gen.
eral STAFF officers advised him that
steps were being taken to arrange
for their rehabilitation, but that
the actual departure for their
homes would probably not be order
ed until after the peace treaty had
actually been signed by all the par
ties thereto.
Oregon troops are now scattered
through several units at Camp
Meade. The men are well and, like
all the troops, are disappointed that
they did not get a chance to click
the kaiser" on German soil, but they
are taking the matter philosophical
ly while waiting for the welcome or
der to resume the tasks of peace in
the various sections Of Oregon.

LELAND WOMAN VOICES INDIGNATION
At GERMANS...HAS SONS IN SERVICE

Mrs. Adah NJ. Morrison, Of Le-
land. Oregon, who has three sons
and daughter in the service, voices
her indignation at the effrontery Of
the Germans in asking immediate
cargoes of food from the allies. Mrs.
Morrison's letter follows:
"Can an old woman from the
backwoods section OF Josephine
county ask a few questions without
being considered insane or idiotic?
l would like to ask in the name Of
the mothers. wives, sisters and
sweethearts Of the thousands Of our
boys who lie on FLANDERS Field"

oners that have been mutilated,

Cling in the waters; these are the
men we mothers, sisters, wives and
sweethearts have given to make this
world safe place to live in until
we fall heir to the new earth, and
consider we have the right to ask;
Why is the president anxious and Sc
hasty to feed and care for the bruta'
murderers of our loved ones?
Are we to be asked to conserv,

How did they treat our dearly loved
boys in their prison pens-Spitting
in their food and drink. feeding dogs
out side the prison pens of poisoned
barbed wire to torture our starving
boys and other contemplate ways
to annoy and inflict mental and

calling to Mrs. Wilson by wireless
for American help, when they have
done their bit towards helping the
hestial murderous and soulless mon

thousands of innocent babies; mutt
late thousands Of men and boys for
the pure love of torture; to rape the
womanhood of nations, and make
them bear children that the whole
world hates because Of their faith

Women of America do you feel
like we ought to be asked to deny
ourselves to feed people that has
caused so much desolation on earth
and caused so many million tons of
food to be destroyed that others
might starve? Is 1t justice that we
have to feed them? We have made
every sacrifice that we have been
asked to do and done 1t willingly to
feed and clothe nations made home
less and hungry by the German men

struction Commission, Either Tx.
ccutIye or Congressional

Washington, Nov. 20,--Domocra-
tic senator's who conferred with
President Wilson last night for two
hours left tho White House with the
impression that the president now
plans 10 remain in France indefinite
ly. or at least until the major portion
OF tho work OF the peace conference

cation. In the framing OF the treaty.
OF the principle OF the freedom OF
tho seas. which he enunclated in his
II terms. and on which tho allies. In
agreeing 10 discuss peace with Ger
many, have reserved the right OF
freedom OF action at the peace con-
ference.
The plan for league OF nations
was another subject TO which the
president was said to have given
much study. He was understood TO
regard this essential for the main
tenance OF the peace OF the world.
During his absence from the Unit
cd States the president plans TO con-
tinue to exercise all the functions OF
his office. He will keep in commu-
nication with Washington by wire
less while at sea. and by cable, and
u necessary by dispatch boats while
he is abroad.
While in France the president
was said to plan transaction OF any
necessary executive business In the
American embassy. Technically he
then would be on American soil.
Should he visit London or any OF
the other allied capitals the embas-
sies there would become his execu-
tive headquarters.
Besides discussing his plans for
his trip abroad. the president was
understood 10 have takon IN With
the senators problems OF reconstruc-
ton and necessary legislation. II
was said that he opposes creation OF
n reconstruction commission, either
executive or congressional, prefer
ring that the work be done by exist
ing agencies. such as the war indus
tries board. the food administration
and the war trade board.
