DEATH ID CHINESE
 WHO S|G|V TREATY

PARIS. May 13.-(By the Associated Press) Messages threatening violence if they sign the peace treaty have been received by the Chinese delegation from various parts of China. A dispatch sent by 35 citizens of Shantung prov ince date Tsinan-Fu, May Il says:
 Regarding the Tsing Tau problem. Japan shows contempt for public right, and never ceases to be ambitious. The people of Shantung refuse to accept. as effective, such illegal demands The traitors to our country, Tsao-Y -Yu-Lin (minister of communio ations whose house was burned at Pelxing) and Chang Tsung- -Hsiang (former minister to Japan who was severely beaten by the Chinese) deserved death for the blow suffered by the Chinese people.
 Should you sign the Japanese pro- posal, you must receive the same treat ment upon returning to China We cannot give ear to apologies. Do not fail us. We are much in earnest
 A message from the Chekiang as sembly, dated Hang Chow, May 10, and addressed to the Chinese peace dele gates, says:
 "The assembly is extremely disap- pointed at hearing that the disposal ot Tsing- Tau has been left to the discre- 1 ton of Japanese alone. All are pre- pairing to do what the crisis demands but are hoping that you will yet effec a change in the situation. If necessary withdraw from the conference without signing the protocol. You can depend upon the full moral support of thu l people at home.'
 1 Chinese colonies and associations il l all parts of the world are showerin; l the delegation with resolutions agains signing the treaty. The tone of tn, messages is such that responsible del egates say it will be quite impossible tt i sign unless the delegation is givel

 PARIS, May 1S.-French Wireless Service-The feeding of the Russian population is no solution of the Rus sian question. it is declared in a mem- orandum sent to the peace conference by Prince Bvoff. Sergius Sazonoff and President Tschaikowslly Of the north Russian government. concerning the proposal to feed soviet Russia through neutral countries, on condition that the bolsheviki cease hostilities.
 The memorandum continues:
 'The task which the Russian na- tional movement must fulfill is to lib- crate Russia from the yoke of those who have reduced her to her present state of impotence. and to the neces- sity of relying upon foreign countries for her food. The feeding of the fam ished population is no solution of the Russian question. Consequently, the struggle to liberate Russia from her i oppressors and to give Russia a gov ernment of her own choosing, cannot be stopped for any reason whatever The signers of this declaration wish to state that Russia will pay for the food provided for her, but they hope
 that the allies will refuse to give the bolsheviki usurpers the right to dis pose of Russia's patrimony.

EUROPE At a Glance
By the Associated Press

Philipp Scheidemann, the German chancellor, has followed the lead taken by President Ebert. In 8 statement to the national assembly in Berlin, couched in language more forcible than that of Ebert, Scheidemann declared that the allied peace terms are not ac- ceptable to Germany.
 Cheering from all factions in the chamber, except the independent so- cialists, greeted the chancellor as he characterized the treaty as "a dreadful and murderous" document, which would make an enormous jail of Ger many in which sixty million persons would have to labor for the victors 1T the war. The speaker several time: charged deception on the part of Presi- dent Wilson and the abrogation of his promised fourteen points for peace.
 It is reported that Scheidemann ha: been informed by the leaders that th' two democratic and a party of the cen ter factions will withdraw their repre- sentatives from the government if th' peace treaty is signed.
 The German plenipotentiaries a Versailles, however, are continuing their work of assinilating the term of the treaty and formulating sucl protests as they desire to make.
 Still another German note-the fit --is to be delivered at the French for eign office Wednesday.
 The allied and associated powers ar leaving the Germans severely alone a present, except for dealing with thei communications, and are engaged i settling up the peace terms which ar to be handed Austria; endeavoring { disentagle the Italian situation, an discussing the Turkish problem. Optimism has been expressed i Paris that the Italian situation is ne.r 1 ing settlement. the Italians cyircing | disposition to make concessions.

BATTLE
 U N DEFINITIONS IN FORD LIBEL


 MOUNT CLEMENS, Mich, May 13. Military preparedness and definition of the word anarchist were the chief topics on which talesmen from which to select jury for the million dollar libel suit of Henry Ford, against the Chicago Tribune, were questioned to- day.
 Elliot c. Stevenson, Of counsel for the defendant. and Attorneys Alfred J. Murphy and Alfred Lucking, for Mir Ford, were in many clashes during the day, over the lines of examination. MT. Lucling accused Mr. Stevenson of seeking to get before the talesmen ar guments for military preparedness which, NIT. Lucking said, Mr. Steven son knew could not beb rought in as evidence later.
 Preparedness does not figure in this case at all,'' asserted Mir. Lacking. All this evidence which the defense has gathered on the subject is so much junk. When MT. Stevenson asks these i talesmen whether they would be pre- iudiced against defendant for urging preparedness, lc 10 uolli6 d SubNAI strategy to get it before the jury or men who may be jurors" MT. Stevenson argued that the at ] torneys for the plaintiff had opened l thecase for such questioning by them i selves asking talesmen if they would 1 call a man an anarchist for holding views opposed to the military system l He was allowed to proceed by Judge i Tucker.
 becto to Definition i The talesmen were of one mind On 1 the questions. They would not. they ] answered, regard man as an anar- 1 chist because he believed that interna- l tional differences could be settled with out hloodshed.

Complete Arranoements

ST. GERMAN ENLAYE, May 13- (By the Associated Press)-The ar engagements for the reception of the Austrian peace delegates tomorrow evening for their accommodation in the quaint suburban residence of the early French kings and the presentation to them of the conditions of peace which are to be g. duplication in many re- spects of those handed the Germans at Versailles, are completed.
 It is evident that the AustrianS are to be treated less as enemies and sub ject to less restrictions than their Ger man allies. They will be received on their arrival at St. Germain by Prefect Chaleel, of the department of Seine Et-Oise, as the representative of the French government, and will be en- trusted to the charge of the inter allied military mission under the French colonel, Henry, on which Major Taylor represents the United states.
 The Italians will play a far more prominent role in the reception of the Austrians and the presentation of terms than in the case of the Germans.
 An Italian colonel, ranking with Col Onel Henry, and above the other inter allied representatives, has been dele gated for the military mission and the Italian plenipotentiaries probably will be given seats at the head of the table for the ceremony of the presentation of the conditions. The museum of the chateau, containing relics of pre- historic times, which by unpremedi tated irony has been selected for the ceremony of turning over to the dele gates of the peace treaty is ready

Press to Re Admitted

The room is much smaller than that at Versailles, where the Germans were informed of the demands of the allied and associated governments, and the conference tables which are arranged in exactly the same form of hollow rectangles, crowd it to the limit Not withstanding the overcrowded condi- tion of the room, space again has been reserved for selected representatives of the press.
 The Austrian delegation could reach St. Germain early in the afternoon. but in order to avoid a too public entry into the town, the special train on which they are travelling will be so routed as to arrive in the evening at some small station outside St. Germain. From this station the delegates will be brought in automobiles and incon- spicuously as possible to the quarters reserved for them in two hotels and three private villas.
 The intention to quarter the Turks and Bulgarians in St. Germain on their arrival here has been abandoned, ow- ing to lack of accommodations. They probably will be located in Meudon southwest of Paris.

GOVERNOR URGED
TO USE EXTRAPAY
TO CALL SESSION

That Governor Olcott use the money |
due him as salary as secretary or state
and which he has refused to accept in
defraying the expense of an extra ses-
son of the legislature to ratify the suf-
frage amendment to the constitution. is
urged in letter received Wednesday
from Mrs E. May Newill, TIA Hoyt
street. Portland.
Mrs. Newill declares that the re-
sponse to campaign of addresses In
favor of an extra session has been
hearty and spontaneous and that 1t IS
evident that special session is desir-
ed by the public. Should the governor
use the money to which he is entitled
as secretary of state salary for the
session it would plainly emphasize the
fact that no business other than ratifi-
cation Of the amendment, she says.
The letter in part follows:
"The attorney general assures us
that, while you are entitled to draw
two salaries, under the unusual cir
cumstances existing, you have, in real
ity, drawn but one. The state. there
fore, is saving, through you, the salary
of one official. This makes 1t possible
for you, without any abnormal drain
upon tho treasury of the state, to call
an extra session of the legislature for
the purpose of ratifying the suffrage
amendment. I am confident that the
women of Oregon would deem 1t very
gracious and friendly act on your part
They would not fail to realize that it
was due not only to your very prac-l
ticai and effective support of the COM
plete enfranchisement of women and
the characterization Of the nation, but
also to your generous and patriotic con
ception Of your duty as public Off
cial to refrain from taking personal ad
vantage of peculiar but legitimate op-
portunities.
mo one could question the expendi-
ture, for public emergency, of sum
equivalent to a salary that Is not only
pledged to you, but earned by you. On
the contrary, it would make your posi-
ton in requesting the legislators not to
enact any other legislation, almost i'm
pregnable. The opinion of the citizens
who are genuine suffragists could be
concentrated on the members OF the
legislature in such a way that they.
would realize the danger of trying to
take advantage of your generosity. Pro
testations of friendliness to suffrage
are of no avail in case like this, un-
less they are backed by actions that
harmoniZe."
