New York Special.-Two hundred
and fifty leading Americans, Republl-
cans and Democrats, representing 40
different states and every prominent
activity, have joined in a non-partisan
effort to bring about the ratification of
the peace treaty without amendment
and without delay" Their names are
attached to an address to the United
States Senate, which was made pub
lie through the League 70 Enforce
Peace, after it had been sent to every
member OF the Senate.
The signers, almost without excep-

reputation. They include such prom

Even the amendment for which most
can be said, on the provision in regard
to Shantung, will secure nothing which
cannot be gained if China, backed by
the powerful advocacy of the United
States, addresses itself to the mach1n-
cry for righting international wrongs
and meeting just claims created by
the covenant between nations. China,
after eighty years of oppressive trea-
ties and despoiled rights by which all
the greater powers have profited d.
rectly or indirectly, has for the first
time in this covenant and treaty the
method to secure justice and the re-
moval of the oppressive economic In

citizens are within her gates protected

the territory to China and, therefore,
upon that condition, compliance with
which promise the league can require.

Their statement follows:
In the Senate at Washington, now

Paris, Jan. 29.-The secret treaties
effected by the allies before America
entered the war, which were generally
accepted as constituting the most seri-
Gus menace to democratic and per
mancnt peace, are invalid.
They were swept away by acceptance
of the armistice terms, including Presi-
dent Wilson'S fourteen points, his
speech of January s and subsequent
speeches. They were doubly nullified
when the allies agreed to the principle
of the league of nations.
Th United Press is able to state this
today on the authority of the highest
international law experts now in Paris.
According to these men, the terms of
the armistice are binding and super
sedc every previous agreement. The
armistice, therefore, is the only treaty
that can probably be considered in the
peace conferences. Formation of the
league Of nations will further make GER
tain that all old Understandings" will
be cancelled. The American people con,
soquently need entertain no fear that
secret treaties will interfere with their
ideas Of proper peace settlement

BOARD OF EDUCATION
PLANS REST OF YEAR
As Precaution Against Influ-
enza, Substitute Teachers
Will Be Employed.

Some radical changes of plans as to
the coaduct Of the Salem schools were
brought about in the regular meetings
Of the board of education last night
made necessary by the interruption of
the ordinary routine by the influenza
epidemic.
Superintendent ]. W. Todd, aiming to
make up as far as possible for the loss
of time in the schools, emphasized the
need of "boiling down" the courses of
study to the bare essentials during the
balance Of the school year. Among 9th.
er things he suggested that there be no
class of beginners at the opening Of the
semester in March, for the reason that
the second semester would be too short
to give the little ones q fair chance.
And again by confining effort to the
lib grade that class of pupils would
be given good start on the next years
work.
After explaining the situation in full,
Mr.. Todd made the suggestion that the
two semesters this year be divided into
two equal semesters of IA weeks each,
the first half to end March 7, classes
to be graduated on that date and at
the end Of the school year on June IA.
AS further precaution against in
fluenza it was decided to employ num-
Der Of substitute teachers, so that in
case any teacher showed symptoms of
illness she could be instantly relieved
until it was mede plain as TO whether
she was afflicted with the disease, it
being understood that the board would
assume the expense of substitute rath-
er than take any risk.
iWth regard to the new night school
courses, it was agreed that the rate Of
SIS be fixed for the 20-week term. This
course may be Of great utility to work
ing mon. About ten men in meehani-
cal trades have already signed up for
the course.
Among other items of business the
board confirmed the election of Miss
Kate Chatbur of Bandon as instructor
in stenography, succeeding Miss Bios
som Redmond who resigned after the
death of her mother. The discharge of
c. 4. Lantz, manusl training instructor
in the Washington school, was also con.
firmed, Mr.. Lantz having suddenly and
mysteriousIy disappeared from The city.

matters, are equally invalid. The ma

tional authorities, have bound them
selves to start anew with an absolutely

greater production. The result has been
a staggering accumulation of food
stuffs in warehouses.
Recent government reports, he said

frozen pork in warehouses, $50 O0U,U0
pounds of frozen beef and l06,000,000

Today, Foy said, there are 1854
AL pounds of frozen beef in storage,
whereas year ago there were 234,-
055,592 pounds.
Increased Beef Production
Beef produced in 1918, his figures
showed amounted to $500, 100000
pounds, against 6,079,000,000 pounds in
1914, an increase Of 2,420,000, 900
pounds.
Pork production, he showed, reached
8,769000,000 pounds in 1914, and 10,-
500,O00O00 pounds in 1918 Mutton and
lamb production increased from 495,-
100000 pounds in 1914 TO 739,000,0OO
in 1918.
Five years ago, he said, it required
u week for a farmer, with two hired
men, to prepare fifty acres of land for
food production. Today, he said, ma
chinery had made it possible for that
land to be put in shape for production
within a day. The difference, he said,
will make itself shown in days to
come by reduced prices.

This bill provides that all public
