FRENCH CHILDREN ARE
TAUGHT TO LOVE u. S.
Wrote Essays On why Such
Enthusiastic Reception Was
Given wilson.

Paris, Feb, lS.-(By maii)-" What
were the reasons for the enthusiastic
reception 1of President Wilson at Par
isYr
This was the subjects of compost
tions in practically every school in
France after the American president s
arrival here. Here is a typical develop
mcnt of the theme, written by little
Charlotte Girod aged 10, of l'Institute
l'Hammond in the shadow of the Sor-
bonne:
I" Paris prepared the enthusiastic eel
ebration of President Wilson Is arriy-
al because he came to our aid, and
caused to be raised an army of 3,000,-
600 men who saved France and the
world The Americans are brave sol
dicrs who let nothing discourage them.
Parisians proved their gratitude fol
what America had done by receiving
President Wilson with acclaim.
Here is what Phyllis Jacqueline
aged wrote:
"Paris feted President Wilson be
cause he came TO the aid Of France al
the moment the Germans were attack
ing the hardest. And maybe the Ger
man 5 feel themselves i'll at ease then!
But the Americans and the French did
not occupy their time thinking about
that. Not at ALL And the wicked Ger
mans died--and died-and died
"And that's why little French ehil
dren love President Wilson lots an(
lots-and America-and her armies.
Thus are the French teaching graft
tude towards America.

KILBANE DIDN'T ACT
LIKE COMING BACK
His Bout With frankie Brown
Got Him Nothing But Multi
tude Of Jeers.
BY Tom Lewis.

New York, March 11.--Johnny Xii
bane may be coming back, as he has
declared, but if his last nights fiasco
with Frankie Brown Of Philadelphia is
any criterion he will be a long time
arriving at his scheduled designation.
The Kilbane special was all but
wrecked in transit.
Kilbane, one time idol OF American
boxing fans, once left the ringside with
The eheors Of the multitude ringing in
his cars. Last night he got no cheers.
But there were jeers in superapund-
ancc.
The Kilbane who faced frankie
Brown was not the same Kilbane who
made Joe Rivers look like selling
platter, who boxed circles around Abe
Attell and who gave George Cpaney
the lacing of his life. The Kilbane Of
today carries too much excess baggage
and in that baggage there is no punch.
johnny said he had something up his
sleeve but he was mistaken. The
something" was in the sleeve of one
frankie Brown, hard fisted youngster
from New York.
Knocked Kilbane Down.
Brown not only knocked Kilbane down
but almost knocked the crown from the
Kilbane dome. Moreover, he out-point
ed the would-be Comeback" The
wise ones agreed that if Johnny was
looking for easy pickings he backed
his push cart up to the wrong market.
Aside from this, the boxing fans arC
asking some pertinent questions. Has
Kilbane really gone back. Was he box
ing at his best or trying for returr
engagement and stalling his way thru
Did he deliberately let Brown flatter
him, or did frankie hand him this littlt
surprise party without leave or hind
rance?
One thing is certain-if Johnny wa
going at his best, he stands sorely il
need a chin strap to hold his crow
in place.

tInlted ffeSs starr correspondent
Paris, Mar. l1-With the military
terms adopted and rapid progress be-
ing made toward completion Of the
obher provisions, it was learned today
that the preliminary peace treaty may
be ready to present to the Germans by
March 90.
From the greatest war maker in the
world, Germany will be reduced to a
military status lower than that OIL her
smallest neighbor. She will be impo-
tent even before Switzerland.
The conscription system will be
knockcd out by q twelve year enlist
ment required for the army which, it
is understood will be reduced to lO0,-
900 men, What army she has, eonse-
quently, will be purely professional.
The danger of Germany having four
or five million trained men within the
next ten years, which weuld have been
possible through conscrlption, will be
abolished. All guns, munitions and
equipment in excess Of the amount
necessary for her reduced army will
be surrendered. II is understood also
that the notorious general staff will
be wiped out.
To Present Firm Front
If any attempt is made to carry out
the threat to refuse acceptance of the
peace reaty and throw the country in
to chaos if the terms are too harsh,
Germany will find the allies presenting
seEifm front.

FOOD EVENTUALLY TO
Be LOVIii,R, IN PRICE
VIII Establish Prices That
Will Stand Until Normal
Conditions Resumed.

Washington, March 11.-Prices on
most Of the basic commodities. includ-
ing food, will be brought down within
sixty to ninety days, George N. Peek,
chairman of the new industries board
of the commerce department, preolcted
today.
The new board plans to call repre-
sentatives of each Of the industries to
Washington, decide on fair price sched-
ules that will relieve the business stag
nation and will then recommend these
prices TO the public.
Steel men submit schedules of post
bellum prices tomorrow.They will be fol-
lowed by brick, cement, fuel, lumber,
food and textiles.
To Have Price Schedules
"The board hopes to establish price
schedules that will stand until the NOR
NAL law of supply and demand can take
effect again." Peek said "Our whole
aim is for prices that will establish
confidence enough to relieve the present
business stagnation- and send us into
what all agree should be an era of pros
perity.n
One of the things the board intends
to do is to talk lower prices at all
times, members said today. They are
frank in their criticism Of the policy
of some government agencies in pre-
dieting much higher figures for some
commodities.
The statement Of the food admins.
tration that pork will 80. much higher,
with the discontinuance of the $l7.50
price, has Immediately brought an in
creased hog price,t with more pork in
storage in the country than ever be-
fore, one member said.
10 Remove Irregularities
Efforts of the board will also be
directed toward removing some irregu-
larities in the price schedule of the var
ious industries. Fon instance, waite
the average increase of steel and its
products is about lis per cent over
pre-war prices, building hardware has
increased 1S0 per cent. Efforts will be
made to bring all down to fair level.
Complete cooperation between the
board and the railroad administration
has been promised and this may mean
that some of the high freight rates
will be lowered, particularly in build
ing and road materials as requested by
the recent conference of governors aad
mayors.
Tables of the board show that food
has gone up los per cent over the pre-
war figures, with milk and eggs show
ing the highest increase. Building mt
terials averaged 100 per cent increase.

viii Be Located On Site OF
Old Salem FIGURING Mill,
Trade And Front Streets

Plans are practically completed for
the building within few months Of
half million dollar paper mill in Sa-
lem, to be located on Mill creek on the
site Of the old Salem FIGURING mill,
Trade and Front streets.
The mill will be owned and operated
by men interested in the Spaulding
Logging company and besides Salem
interests, stockholders will include
Portland investors who own stock in
the Crown Willamette Mills at Oregon
City.
The main building for the one large
machine for paper making will be 80
by $50 feet and Of two stories. In ad
dition to this main building there will
be several smaller ones in connection
with the plant.
The large machine that goes into the
making Of paper is more than 100 feet
long and the cost is close to $125, 900.
The factory will be equipped at first
with the one machine but the building
is so constructed that after the bust
ness gets under headway, another OF
the machines can be installed.
Employ 100 Men
1t Is estimated that the paper mill
will employ at least 100 men and later
200 employees will be necessary for
maintaining the output of the mill.
+. w. Ledbetter, vice president Of
the Spaulding Logging company, will
have charge of the construction. He is
a practical paper mill man, having
owned and operated mill at Camas,
Wn., and having been also interested in
several paper mills before they were
consolidated into one company known
as the Crown Willamette Paper Mill
company. Besides being vice president
of the Spaulding Logging Co. Mr.. Led
better is director in the Northwest
ern National bank Of Portland and q
heavy stakeholder in the Crown Will
lamettc Paper Mill Co.
/ just before the beginning OF the war
there was talk Of building the mill
here in Salem but with the war coming
on, the proposition was dropped. How
ever as soon as peace was in sight,
those interested in building here again
lteok up the matter, until now the plant
is practically assured

WARNS REPUBLICANS
TO GO SLOW IN STAND
AGAINST COVENANT
Taft Says Too Much CriliCism
OF League OF Nations En-
dangers Party.
By Robert J. Bender.

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
Washington, March lI.--nopuoncan
supporters of the league of nations,
headed by Former President William
H. Taft, are warning G. Q. P. opponents
of the Wilson covenant against too
rigid stand, lest they ono-n--r tae
party.
1t is now generally admitted tnal wHun
the peace treaty comes back from
France the league of nations viii be
part and parcel of it. The whole of tho
drafting Of the treaty in Paris has been
built on the promise of league of ma
tions and practically every article in
some way is applicable under league
rules.
Still State of War.
Hence, the treaty, when completed,
lie it failed of ratification in a repubii-
can senate because the league af nstt::ens
was part of it, the whole work OF
drafting the treaty would have to be
done over again-an in the meantime
the treaty would remain ineffective
and state of war would continue as
now.
The party responsible for holding up
ratification of the treaty would un-
doubtedly be charged thereafter BY the
opposing party with having prolonged
the war.
Might be Split.
Taft s move and the difference Of
opinion existing in both parties have
created the belief here that there is a
possibility in 1920, IL the pcace treaty
is not ratified, of the electorate split
ting up into new alignment-thosc for
and those opposed to ratification OF the
league The fight would then be with
the issue Of moderate internctionalism,
as opposed to strict nationalism.
In this connection there are now
strong organizations backing both the
elements favoring and opposig the lea
que; each organization determined to
carry the fight to the finish.
Owing to the fact, however, that the
leading republicans opposing the Will
son covenant favor some league, the
hope is expressed by friends in both the
Republican and democratic parties that
the president will recommend clarified
tion Of questioned articles SO as to re-
move much of the opposition and assure
thesleegue's ratification.
