GERMANS WANT
TREATY REVISED
Peace Council Takes Action on
New Situation Holding Up
Actual Peace With German
Government.

I 81 The a associated Press.
PARIS, Dec. 4-The supreme coun-
ell spent the greater part of today
session, discussing the attitude Of
, Germany toward the signing of the
protocol putting the peace treaty into
| effect, Germany's representatives hay
ing declared they could not sign It
in its present form, including its pro-
vision for reparatiOn for the German
war ships sunk at Scapa Flow and
W tn other features objectionable to
them.
The form of note to Germany on
this question was considered by the
council, but no final decision was
taken.
1t is anticipated in this connection
that the reply to the German note
regarding the Scapa Flow question
viii Conta- very strong representa-
tiOns as to the consequences of fur
ther resistance by Germanay.
The council today decided to give
the small powers which possess sea
coasts a few of the smaller German
torpedo boats.
White May Remain.
A report generally current in Paris,
that Henry White of the American
peace delegation would remain here
after the departure of the other peace
delegation, finds no confirmation in
authoritive quarters. All the informa-
| ton obtainable indicates the contrary
the most probable Arrangement being
the appointment Of Ambassador Wal
lace as the American representative.
Frank l.. Polk, head OF the United
States delegation to the peace confer
Cnce, summoned Kurt Won Lersner,
chief of the German representatives at
Versailles on Monday, and told him
that Germany should not interpret as
being IN her favor any delay that
might be encountered in ratifying the
Versailles treaty at Washington, ac-
cording to newspapers here.
"If, there can be in the United
States several ways of understanding
the treaty." Mr.. Polk is quoted as tell
ing Herr Lersner, there are not two
ways~of understanding the obligations
incumbent upon Germany nor effec-
ton binding the United States and her
allies"
Should Stand by Word.
PARIS, Dec. 4. (HaVas) Germany
should stand by her word and carry
out the terms of the versailles treaty
according to Phillip Scheidemann
former German chancellor, an inter-
view with whom is published In the
Echo d'Paris. Two questions, the
surrender of prisoners of war and the
turning for trial of German officers
and men, accused of crimes during the
war. make for strained relations at
present, the former chancellor says.
THE first Is not irreparable and will
not influence the future" he contin-
mes, but the one concerning the Of
licers and men is particularly difficult.
If will be necessary for us to arrest
them ourselves and then deliver them.
This is a hateful thought and nothing
could be more repugnant, but still we
have 9igned the treaty"
Herr Scheidemann closes by ex-
pressing confidence that relations be-
tween France and Germany will be-
come normal in the future.

WORK FOR THE SOLDIER

1t is evident that the country news
papers have responded in an effec-
tive manner to the appeal of the
"Home Paper" Service in the matter
of securing employment for the SOL
diers returning from the war. The
Council of National Defense, which
has taken up the Government work
in connection with securing employ
ment, recently issued press state
ment showing that the work Of car
ing for the soldiers was well under
way. This statement contained re-
ports from thirty EIGHT different
states. In some Of the states the leg
islature have taken the matter up,
while others have been working
through the Governors, through
branches of the Council of National
Defense, and other organizations,
while there has been general for
ward movement throughout the coun-
try districts showing that the people
are determined that no soldiers shall
seek employment without finding it.

MY PIPE AND l
e. D. Koontz


The best of friends are my pipe and
When the evening lamps are lit;
We smoke and doze, and think and
sigh,
On the walls our shadows fit.
They dance and play in the curls of
smoke,
Oh! they tell of our happy past,
Then of sorrowful times, when hearts
most broke
The sorrows that time has cast,
The rings of smoke that break and
float,
In silence DER our heads,
Transformed to silvery fairy boats,
That bear away our dead.
My past still lives in the smoky
wreath;
But it lightly floats in air,
Outlined face all wreathed in smiles,
Pouting lips and lily fair,
A whisper soft from the misty past
Bends close to listening ear;
Sometimes in clouds and now in
rings;
The faces of friends appear.
Bohemian festive scenes, which bring
The voices from everywhere,
They soothe and cheer, they jest and
play,
Forgotten life's busy care.
My pipe and l are the best of friends,
We never have heated words
AS light as the smoke they begin
and end
Tranquil as songs of birds.
My pipe will soothe, where prayer
can't reach
1t touches the tender spot,
When nobody can, it calls me man.
And grasses life's ugliest blot
Forgiveness hides in its cobben bowl
1t touches the chords Of Love,
try to think my pipe has a soul
Entwined with those above.

Africa, with 138,000,0O0 disconten-

fessor David ]. Starr, of the Univer-
sity of Chicago, who is in Columbus,

at the Methodist Centenary Celebra-
ton, June 20 to July 10. Liberia may
save the world from chaos, added the
noted anthropologist, educator and
political authority of national repu-
tation.
"Africa and only Africa will be
important in the worlds politics for
the next ten years." said Professor
Starr. "Africa may cost what is
left of civilization in Europe, for
Europe has neither men nor the
money to maintain dominion over
Africa. Europe is sending back to
Africa tens of thousands of black men
who have been trained to face white
men under arms. These black men
who have been denied arms in the
past, can manufacture their own
weapons in the future" This ia what

GET IN LINE

The campaign of the United States
Public Health Service for the Grad
ication of venereal diseases has met
with such remarkable success and
spontaneous approval in every pro-
gressive community in America, there
is no longer any room to doubt these
highly communicable maladies will be
suppressed.
But while majority of the States
have adopted control legislation,
there is still too great tendency in
some communities to surrender in
the fight and take refuge behind a
false modesty and prudery, which,
like ignorance, have ever been the
chief ally of venereal diseases and are
largely responsible for the fact that
about 10 per cent of the people in
America are affected with either gon-
orrhea or syphilis.
How much longer can this commu-
nifty sidestep the issue?
Get i'll line with progressive, wide
awake American cities where the
great social evil is being combated
quite as openly and frankly as meas
les and typhoid. The crime today is
not to have venereal disease, but in
refusing to recognize the existence of
! it.
This might be excusable if it
could be plead things are different
here. AS matter of fact they are
very probably typical of the average
American city that gave the Army
five out of every six cases Of ven
ereal disease it had to treat in its
hospitals. 1t would hardly be an
eXaggeration to say venereal dis
eases are more prevalent in this com
munity today than any other com
municable disease, and in spite of
this fact less effort is being made to
eradicate them
Nothing constructive can be ac-
complished until we meet the issue
squarely. A person suffering with a
venereal disease should no more be
allowed the freedom of society than
a person suffering with smallpox, for
the former is just as much menace,
more costly and certainly more pre-
valent.
Our State has adopted effective
legislation to enable the United
States Public Health Service to CO.
operate in suppression and eradica-
ton of the diseases. And since such
legislation has been adopted, every
welfarec agency in this community
must see that the law is enforced
Prostitution, the greatest dissemin-
ator of the disease, must be suppress
ed. Physicians must report cases and
persons affected must be made to I'M
dergo treatment until cured.
We might we'll take a lesson in
this from our European friends. We
have frequently criticized them for
their immoral standards, while
they, in turn, have ridiculed US fol-
attempting to hide what they openly
admit existed and sought to control
A person suffering with cancer
can't long hide it.

IMPORTANT DECISION
ON TAX SALES GIVEN
Supreme Court Holds Asquisi-
hon Of Property By Sale
Is Final.

In the list Of minor eases passed up
on by the supreme court during The past
week, one brings up legal pOiEt that
may be of interest to sequirers Of title
under tax delinquency. This is tine case
Of Mary Hager, administratrix of the
estate of d. L. Ward, vs.. Clatsop eoun.
ty, ct al, appellants; ]. A. Eakin Judge.
This is a case in which the county bid
in piece Of property for delinquent
taxes for the year 1909. 1t was held
by the county until the year 1916, and
as there was no other claimant for the
tax certificates, they were made out
each year to the county. In l9l6 the
property was bid in by d. l.. Ward, but
as he made no proffer of taxes for in
tervening years, the property was again
elassed as delinquent and Offered Tor
sale. The purchaser, Ward, interyened
to prevent such sale on the ground that
the county conveyed to him free from
all debt except current taxes. The
county eontended that the only taxes
concerned in the transfer to Ward were
the taxes of 1909 The circuit court
decided in favor of Ward, and the
county appealed, In rendering his opin.
ion, Justice Burnett holds that as no
piece of property can be offered for
sale more than once, and that ali title,
both by virture of delinquency eertifi-
cate and by sale, is conveyed to the
purchaser, all debt is cancelled at the
time deed is delivered, and therefore
Ward held title TO the property. The
decision of the lower court is affirmed.
