Paris, Jan. 24,-The league of ma
tions will be formally taken up at TO-
morrow's session of the general peace
congress, it was learned from authorita-
tive sources today.
Much of the work in preparing drafts
of the various nations programs for
the league is being done by the respec-
tive delegations outside the joint meet
Sngs and it was expected the prelim-
inaries would be in such shape as to
permit of q full discussion of the broad
outlines of the plans tomorrow. The
American delegation, it is understood,
spent two hours in going over their
acague plans late yesterday, with the
result that the formal draft was prac-
tieGlly completed. Yet it was report
ed that neither the American nor the
British plans would be presented in
their entirety tomorrow, though they
are farther advanced as regards details
than any Of the others. Apparently
President Wilson and Premier Lloyd
George will wait until the other pro-
grams are submitted and thoroughly
discussed, then they will bring forward
tie programs of their delegations.
Correspondents Admitted
The correspondents, it was announced
today will be admitted to the full meet
ing tomorrow, as at the initial session
of the plenary congress last Saturday.
Meanwhile the meetings of the "steer-
ing committee" continue secret.
Among other subjects to be discussed
tomorrow are responsibility and punish
ment for the war, reparation for war
damages, international labor legislation
and the international status of ports,
waterways and railways. In connection
with the latter proposition, it is be.

DR.. Steiner FARES
WELL WITH WAYS and
MEANS COMMITTEE
Explained TO Legislators That
Expenses For Institution
Had Increased.

DR.. r. f. Lee Steiner Jared well with
the joint committee Of ways and means
at a session held last evening after
telling them he had to admit defi-
cheney of about 100000. The doctor
explained how any man keeping house
could realize the increased cost of liv-
ing ESPECIALLY If they happened to
have about i700 to care for.
During the. past two years he said
that the cost per capita per month mad
been $16.4S and that the nearest esti-
mate he could make for the coming
two years was at the rate of $2l a
month.
Declaring that he did not want any
raise of salary for himself, DR.. Steiner
did speak in behalf of physicians en-
ployed at the institution. 800 a month
he said was most Inadequate for ex-
perienced physiciansi ~ don't want
young doctors just but of school to
make an experimental station of the
asylum declared DR.. Steiner, "but
in many cases it seems that as soon
as a doctor is of real value, he will
not stay on the salary allowed"
As to the attendants Of the Oregon
state hospital, the salary of $40 or $50
month and board he did not consider
hardly enough, especially as many had
been there for 25 years and were ex-
perts in their work. N'We will get the
hobo element of attendants if we low
er the salaries," he said.
Finds it in Good Condition
81 have visited the Oregon state
hospital and find 1t in better condition
than any / have seen," declared Chair
man Gordon. "'The institution is in
fine condition. Everything is kept in
fine shape.n This opinion was concur
red in by Representative Childs and
also by Senator Lachmund.
For the maintenance of the asylum
for the coming two years, DIR. Steiner
asked for 1858, 500. The last Legislature
gave him $7l6,936. AS a tentative pro-
gram the ways and means committee
was inclined to do but little cutting on
the proposed budget and this was in
reducing transportation of insane to
other states from $4,000 to $4,000; re
placement from $4,000 to $4,000 and
painting estimate from $4,000 to $5,-
900.
While the inmates of the asylum
now number 1870, Dr. Steiner said he
expected about 25 from the state Of
Oregon from the army and navy, as
the Government expected each state to
care for its own soldiers.
The item of 100000 for remodelling
the Salem hospital building wa" not
cut as DR.. Steiner explained that the
building was to be used as homes for
the attendants and nurses. Senator
Strayer was little in doubt as to
when the state would get possession
of the hospital building as for two
years efforts had been made to get the
Salem hospital out He was assured the
state would be given possession of its
property within few weeks.

OF FRICTION
BETWEEN French AND
YANKEES UNfOUNDFD
Correspondent Tells Of Little
Incidents That First Start
ed Stories.
BY Webb Miller
Omitted Press staff correspondent

Omitted Press staff correspondent
American Headquarters in Germany,
Jan. 22.-(Delayed)-To quiet rumors
evidently in circulation that there is
considerable friction between the Am
erican and French armies, some incl
dents from which such a feeling might
nave arisen, are presented.
Undeniably there was some feeling
for time ON the part of the men of
the Third army, but it originated from
minor causes and has entirely disap-
peared now. Publication of some of the
incidents from which this feeling start
ed will do more than anything else to
halt exaggerated reports.
AS the Third army reached the banks
of the Rhine, there was q suudon
change in orders from the allied high
command by which French troops came
up and occupied the southern portion
of the bridgehead. This nccessitated
much shifting about of the American
troops and caused several divisions to
march 36 miles farther to reach the
new areas assigned to them. II also de-
priyed men of the Third and Forty Sec
ond divisions of the honor of crossing
the Rhine. Naturally the men were dis
satisfied, inasmueh as it caused much
extra labor and marching.
Had False Impression
Tho French apparently were under
the impression that the Americans
should enforce regulations which the
French themselves had put into effect,
For instance, when French regiment
marched through Coblenz and was re-
viewed by General Diekman, several
French officers circulated through the
crowds and knocked off the hats of
German civilians as the colors passed
and when the American national an
them was played The Americans had
promulgated no regulation regarding
civilians removing their hats when the
colors passed, and some of the Third
army officers disapproyed the proceed
ure.
Then, human-hke, the American sol
diers recalled petty personal incIdents
in France, such as overcharging, which
could occur anywhere, and other small
affairs that were inevitable This add
ed to the feeling of dissatisfaction.
Other incidents cropped out, mostly the
outgrOwth of misunderstanding. But
within a week or two this feeling sub
sided and little Of it can now be dis
cerned.
On the whole, it was what might be
expected in any army lying dormant.
Soldiers are notorious grumblers and
kicking about everything and anything
is one of the American doughboy s.
most priced prerogatives.
When not cussing the mess sergeant,
the Y. M. c. A. or congress, they are
cussing something else. For week or
SO it was the French. SO far as can be
the above incidents are
solely responsible for the numors
afloat.

First Opposition To
Berger Appeared Today

Washington, Jan. 24.-The first open
opposition to seating Victor Berger Of
Wisconsin as a member Of the house
came today in statement from Rep
resentatiye Gillett of Massachusetts,,
candidate for speaker in the next con-
gress.
Gillett said refusal to seat Berger
should be the very first act Of the next
house because Berger was found guilty
of charges Of disloyalty.
"The evidence convinces me Of his
disloyaltv and | believe the country
generally approves the verdict of the
jury and think his guilt is sufficiently
manifest to disqualify him from CON
gress, Gillett said.

FRANCE GIVES STEEL
HELMET TO EACH POILU
To Show, To Small Degree,
Governments Apprecia-
ton OF Men.
BY Henry Wood

Omitted Press Staff Corrospondent)
Paris, Jan. 5.-(By Mail-Every
poilu is to have his steel helmet as a
permanent souvenir of the part he play
ed in the war. In the cases Of soldiers
who forfeited their lives for their
livs for their country, helmet will be
given to the family Of the dead poilu
by the French government.
Each helmet will have engraved ON
the steel vizor the name and grade Of
the soldier together with the follow
ing inscription:
Soldier of the Great War
l914.1918
The letter of Premier Clemeneeau to
President Clemenceau asking for the
concession on behalf of the poilus is as
follows:
"Mr. President--Our soldiers and
their chiefs Have merited well of the
fatherland.
nIn order TO commemorate for long
time to come in the homes in France
the brotherly participation Of our heroes
of ell grades in tn emost cruel and the
most fruitless task that the annals Of
history have ever recorded, 1t seems
to be desirable to give to every soldier
of the great war the same souvenir Of
the hours Of combat, namely the his
toric steel helmet of the poilu.
"It will remain always the souvenir
of an epoch of which the grandeur al
ready is incomprehensible. In the FAM
lilies Of the dear departed il viii be
the most pions, relic that win perpet-
uste the worship Of those heroes whose
sacrifice has preserved the honor and
the liberty of the fatherland. -

5 cents. Veal dropped and @ cents.
Other produce has dropped in more

ters in connection with the armies Of

presence of Marshal Foch, Field Mar.
shal Haig, General Diaz and other mem
bers of the associated powers military
council.
Some Want Delay.
Alleged efforts to delay crystalliza-
tion of the league of nations, or at
least to obstruct the laying down of its
freedom of principles as applicable to
questions Of territorial rights, were
seen today in attempts by certain pow
orful political cliques to have Premier
Clemenceau demand the Saaf valley
and Syria for France.
As announced by the United Press
two weeks ago, Clcmencesu gave the
associated powers reason to believe he
would not press frances claim to those
two territories. 1t is known he is ad-
herring to this decision, but he is under
going the strongest pressure from the
financially powerful colonial faction.
That the American delegates, supported
by the British, have no intention of al
lowing such plan to succeed is obvi-
GUS. With Clemenceau sticking to his
decision, it is certain the colonialists
will fail.

Washington, Jan. 24.-By a
vote of So to Is, the senste late
today passed the $l00,000,00O
; famine food bill.
The turmoil in congress over
!: the $1OO,0O0,000 famine fund
food bill was aggravated today
by four developments:
The direct charge by Senator
LaFollette that the beef trust is
behind the bill.
Emphatic denial by Louis F.
Swift before a house committee
that packers had anything to do
with the bill.
A statement from Hoover in
Paris bearing out his official
statement of yesterday to the
effect that he had foreseen end
prepared to meet the need for
American food in Europe.
State by J. Ogden Armour
that Hoover went to Europe to
aid the peoples there and not to
stabilize prices for the pack
ers.

ators said, did not deny, but admitted.
While no ono chergcs Hoover with i'm
proper motives or actions, the fact that
the appeal for the famine fund was put
On tho humanitarian grounds of saving
starving Europe, instead on what many
senators believe the real grounds
keeping the food administration bar
gain with the hog raisers and packers
has caused distrust.
Doubt Expressed.
Doubt concerning the proper way to
vote has been expressed in speeches by
numerous senators. 6moot, Harding
and Summins, for example, said they
could not make up their minds whether
| it would be better to vote no and deny
Europeans American aid, or to vote yea
and perhaps learn later that they mad
helped the packers "put something
over"
A filibuster during which arguments
against the bill would be tirelessly re-
peatcd might help some of the waver-
ing ones make up their minds, hostile
senators believe.
The fsct that Hoover, before he won't
to Europe, told tho senate appropria-
tions committee fund Of from $25, ,000,-
0U0 to $30,000,000 would be necessary
to buy. food for distribution, has con
vinced some of the truth Of Borah's
charge that Hoover had decided before
sailing how his promise to the hog rails
ers was to be kept. Senator Smoot laid
this fact before the senate.
