n~ NECESSARY blocking
V6 of grade crossings by
freight trains are becom-
ing so frequent, say users OF
the county highways, that they
feel relief should be forthcom-
ing. The attention of the East
Oregonian was called yester-
day to a case in which II per-
sons were obliged to wait ~
minutes before being able 10
cross at Gibbon. !,
A similar case was recorded
a week ago Sunday at Thorn
Hollow when a westbouno
freight stopped for nearly a
half hour, apparently to fix a
hot box and blocked eight ma
chimes for several minutes
Crews apparently have no
thought of cutting their trains
on crossings when they are op-
Iiged to make long stops.
The East Oregonian gladly
gives publicity to such occur
rences knowing that many per-
sons are needlessly inconven-
fenced by them. Those VINO
have experienced the delays
have plenty of evidence to back
up ali they allege. The next
move is with the operating Oh
ficials.

frozen timber land between the Naga

This is one branch Of the equipment
in which the allies are superior to

On Sunday allied planes bombed
the enemy occupied towns Of Taresevo

penetrated, dropped bombs on enemy
columns moving northwaUd along the
winter trails.

OLD SPANISH COIN
CASHED BY SULTAN

LONDON, Feb. 11.-SpanIsh gold
doubIoons are not exactly common
nowadays, but a number, valued as
gold at about $4,000 recently, were
taken over the counter Of q city Of
London bank in exchange for current
coin.
These rare coins were the property
OF the Sultan of Zanzibar. who
brought them over on his recent trip
TO this country 10 pay expenses.
They arc an illustration OF the re-
nnarkable boarding propensitics OF
Eastern people, as the doubloons were
not in the least worn. They were as
good as when minted some hundreds
of years ago and the reverse side Of
each shone like a looking glass. They
have been sent to the government
assay office and will be melted down.

CREEL CAMOUFLAGE
AN AID TOU.S. NAVY.

NEW YORK, Feb. 11.-Lieut. Hen
~ Reuterdahl took 500 Officers of
the Third Naval district and their
friends into his confidence at = din
ner in the Astor Hotel last night and
told them the big secret o. now
George CreeI, chairman OF the Com
nittee on Public Information, answer
cd the war time demands OF the New
York public for pictures showing
what the navy was doing.
For months and months Lieutenant
Reuterdahl, who is an OFFICER OF INC
naval reserve, and other navy Of
ficers. he said, had been endeaVoring
to persuade the powers in washington
to organize a Photographic division
for the navy, just like the one that
was picturing the army's exploits in
the battle lines in France. IT was
no use. however, for the division
wasn't formed.
CHmOufIaEed ships.
Nevertheless Mr.. Creel got the pic
lures and navy officers who had
been behind the scheme for the pno-
tographic division Gasped at his en-
terprise when the ships with their
big guns very plain were shown here
in all kinds Of maneuVers. But II
developed afterward, Lieutenant Reu-
terdahl said, they were Japanese and
Italian warships cleverly camoJtlaged
by the Committee on Public lnTor-
nation, by the judicious placing here
and there OF an American flag and
the removal of all Italian and Japa-
nese insignia.
Eventually the navy's Photographic
division was formed and those at the
dinner witnessed the first showing of
the official film recording how the
navy conveyed American troops to
France. The film picked the soldiers
up on their arrival at the port of de-
barkation in Hoboken and then show
cd navy officers going over charts
showing the exact routes to be fol-
lowed by the troop conveys. Down
the bay the soldiers are seen starting
for France at night, and then picking
up the convoy OF battleships a little
distance beyond Sandy Hook.
Missed an Attack.
Smoke screens, submarine alarms
aboard the ships, the dropping OF test
depth bombs ana other incidents of
the transports passage are recorded.
But the film did not happen to catch
an actual submarine attack. The film
was taken from the unfortunate
transport President Lincoln. which
was sunk on a later trip.
The dinner was the first social
gathering the officers of the Third
Naval district have had since the
war began. The other speakers were
Ensign B. c. McCulloch and Lieut..
Joseph F. Wright.

People With FOch.

The French people are very largely
in sympathy with Foch. They have
never for a moment considered the
war as over. There is constant dread
of its being renewed under conditions
that will reverse the victory of last
November. Hence their lack of pa
tience with all military methods
to bring about the desired final re-
suit.
Forming a part. Of the same sItua-
ton is the conviction in France that
Germany is not yet defeated aud
that Germany herself is rapidly wax
ing I'D to the realization of that fact.
IS the latest piece Of prime evidence
of that fact, there is cited the speech
Of DR.. David, the president OF the
German National Assembly, at Wei
mar, in which he declared: The life
of AIsace-Lorraine belongs to that Of
the German nation, and we viii never
cease to demand that its inhabitants
shall have the power Of self-deter-
r0ination. according to the Wilson
principles"
The Washington times., 1919-02-11

NEW YORK, Feb. 1.-THE New
York Times today prints the follow
ing copyrighted article:
PARIS, Feb. 1O.-PresIdent Will
sons resolution, approved by the su-
preme war council Saturday, creating
., Supreme Economic Council to con-
slider certain matters arising. under
the armistice and also appointing ci-
william economic experts to the
armistice commission, who shall re-
port directly to the new economic
council. is the direct outgrowth of the
American delegates increasing feel
ing that there has been too much
militarism in the work Of ending the
war.
FOch Dictated Details.
Fhis feeling dates back at least to
January Il, when civilian representa-
lives Of the allies, the United States
and Germany met at Treves to deter
mine upon the disposition Of German
merchant Shipping. That was the con-
ference which, under the chairman
ship OF Edward y. Hurley, took over
all the German passenger and freight
tonnage to be used for the transport
Of food to Europe and TO carry home
American and Australian soldiers.
But the relevant point now is that
the Treves conference was held en-
tirely under the auspices of Marshal
Foch. who dictated every detail as to
the time, place of meeting and the
exact number Of hours the delegates
should be allowed to remain together.
The main purposes of the conferences
were accomplished, but there was a
feeling at the time on the part of the
civilians present that they could have
accomplished still more, If figura-
lively speaking. there had not been
man with a sword standing at the
door of the conference chamber to
insist that they adjourn at a certain
minute. d.
France Objected To Change.
This feature Of the Treves coofer-
enee, not hitherto disclosed, may be
taken as a sample OF various iaei-
dents which led up 10 a determina-
tion on the part OF some delegates
20 the Peace Conference and IN the
Supreme War Council to substitute
civilian for military methods whsn-
ever they think such a substitution
viii add to progress in the work Of
adjusting things with Germany.
Although there is nothing of the
