Australia Wants To

Considers She Has Won Her Independence On Battle
field, Declares Premier Hughes.---NOw Stands In
Same Position Practically AS United States Did At
End OF Revolutionary War;

at the end Of the revolution. She has
won liberty on the fields Of franes
and deserves recognition as an auto
nomous nation.
Australia lost nearly sixty thou
sand killed and 100000 wounded in the
war. She spent a billion and half
dollars. She clothed her own troops in
uniforms OF wool grown in her own
country. Her fighting record surpass-
es that of any other nation.
Wants Self Determination
Now australia wants self determi-
nation. This means she insists on pol
10y Of a white Australia. We de not
want promiseuous immigration. We
are white nation in q sea Of blacks.
We must have the New Guinea islands.
They are full of possibilities for navaA
bases aud U-boat nests If they pass
into unfriendly hands.
eve believe we ought to have an
indemnity. We helped beat Germany,
who wilfully forced the war, hereby
saddling us, country with only five
million inhabitants, with war debt
which is most frightful handicap to
new people like ourselves. II Ameri-
can had been SO burdened in tho first
days Of her independence, she would
have been unable to make headway.
Germany ought to pay indemnities to
the utmost Of her ability, Australia
sharing in proportion TO the part she
took in the war.
1--WE believe in the league Of ma
tons, but we must not impair the ma
tion's right Of free government and
though tho league would be valuable
instrument to maintain world peace we
must keep our powder dry.
II don 7 know precisely what free
dom of the seas means, but Australia
is surrounded by a coast line $4,000
miles long-as long as the distance
from Australia to England--and We.
are unable to protect this ourselves;
therefore, we mnst depend on Britain
to oppose any plan taking away her
naval supremacy"

the important questions confronting
the peace makers as they assembled.
All of Warning Nations
Tho delegates present represented
all the nations associated in the war
on Germany, and in addition Peru
Ecuador Uruguay and Bolivia, which
severed diplomatic relations with Ger.
many. The central powers were not rep
resented. When the peace treaty has
been drawn up, the delegates repre-
senting the German government, and
its former allies will be asked in to
sign.
When the conference starts regular
proceedings, the league of nations will
be the first issue taken up. This will
be done at the insistence Of President
Wilson. Premier Olemenceau is the one
who is expected to bring it up for dis
cusSiOn.l
The delegates included the following:
United States: President Wilson, Sec

Having won their contention in pre-
liminaries, Belgium and Serbia had
three delegates instead of two each, as
previously announced.
The crowds waiting outside had
glimpses Of motor cars, the flags of
the nations that crushed Germany flut-

representatives into the courtyard.
There was frequent cheering and ap-

seated in the conference room, the Am

Great doors leading to the Clock

initial sitting could observe the pro-

CITY HAS NEEO OF
salem HOSPITAL
Governor Fayors Use OF Two
Floors OF Building For
City Flu Patients.

The executive committee of the Sa
lem Hospital is once again facing i'm
mediate ejectment proceedings through
action taken this morning by thu
IlBoard of Control. And the only way
the board can prevent such proceed
ings is to Immediately give the state
control of the second and third floors
of the hospital.
Due TO representations made by May
or q. Il. Albin that the city must have
hospital accommodations for infliienza
patients, the State Board of Control
Dr. R. e. Lee Steiner, Mayor Albin and
Alderman Paul johnson met this morn,
ing with the governor to discuss the
emergency situation.
Mayor Arbin said the city had at
least Is influenza patients who requir-
ed hospital attention and to secure &C.
commodations at the Salem hospital
was absolutely necessary. As the hes.
'pitel is not taking such patients, the
mayor thought an emergency existed
and called on the governor for help.
Several days ago special commit.
tee Of DR.. Morse, DIR. Clements ana DR..
byrd were asked to investigate and
report as to whether it was feasible for
the Salem hospital to use the lower
floor of the hospital and thereby allow
the second and third floors to be used
for influenza patients. The doctors re-
ported such a thing could be done, ii
the doors between the first and second
floors were sealed. A separate stairway
could be used for entrance to the sec.
ond floor.
This report of the three doctors was
not adopted by the executive board
and as the matter stood this morning,
the Salem hospital had intentions Of
using the entire building for about five
weeks, or until the Mckinley scnool
building could DE re-modeled for hos
pital uses.
Governor Withycombe WAS strongly
in favor Of the idea suggested by the
doctors and he was inclined to be as
lenient as possible with the hospital
but at the same time thought some
thing should be done to aid the city in
providing hospital facilities.
As the matter now stands, it is prob
able that notice will be served at once
on the executive committee of the Sa-
lem hospital to vaeste the second and
third floors Of the building and turn
them over to the statc and that these
floors will be rendered to the city Tor
influenza eases.
The emergency hospital viii then be
fumigated after the city removes its
patients and later turned over to the
Salem hospital. II Is also probable that
the state will ask the hospital not to
accept additional patients.
As the matter now stands, the Salem
hospital building Is wanted first by
the Salem hospital, second, by the
state and third by the city for It's in
fluenza patients. The Salem hospital
is in possession although paying rent
to the state but It is looking ejectment
proceedings in the face, unless there
Is quick compromise, giving the state
and city possession of the second and
third floors.
Present at the meeting this morning
with the governor were Secretary Oh
colt, DR.. R. u. Lee Steiner, Mayor O. b
Albin and Alderman Paul johnson.

source of serious uneasiness and per
tuubation in the political situation. Ii
lis my opinion that the Rhsnish prov
izces ido mot wish separation from
Germany, but that the inhabitants may
consider that the peculiar interests OF
the Rhinefand are not sufficiently guar

the Prussian state and that their in
terests would be better protected if the
Rhineland and perhaps other parts of
Germany were divided into separate
states within the German realm"
An effort to influence the peace con

ling Is evident in recent statements
from German leaders. Won Groote q

from Bernstorff wherein he insinuated
that it would be dishonest for the al.

PIG CLUB Project
SHOWS BIG increase
Many Enthusiasts Have Re-
! Ceived Achievement Pin
For Good Work.

1t will be recalled by Journal resd-
ers that during the state fair George
w. Ayre Of the U. S. National bank
posted conspieuously on the grounds a
notice that his bank was rcgdy to back
up tho Pig club movement in Marion
county TO the amount Of $4,000 in
loans. This is not merely an evidence
Of the optimism Of Mr. Alre, (who is
widely known as the father of the Pig
club project) but is based upon progress
and concrete results during the past
season. From the office of Supervisor
Smith we obtain the following figures
indicating the extent of the work dur
ing the past three years:
The total number Of members enroll
ed for 1918 WAS $50; the number start
ing in the work was 025; number of
reports sent to headquarters 402; num-
Der Of rigs reported 1856; with an ini-
tial value Of tJOt5.50 and final value
of $e4,9s9 81; total net profit, sll,-
1897.
These figures SLOW marked increase
over the reports OF The year 1917, and
there is further snd more emphatic eg-
idence of success In The scores Of letters
sent in to t,npciyisor Smith from club
members In all parts of the county.
These give ectaiib Of methods, tbs
breeds used, the AMOUNT of profit 70

Playing Baseball In the Air.

Airmen at one of the flying fields in
the South devised a new sport some
weeks ago, and now word comes abroad
that Yankee "sky pilots" over there
are adding frills to 1t. The game.
incidentally. seems to be most excel
lent practice for baseball outfielders.
AS originally devised, says Popular
Mechanics Magazine, It consisted in
endeavoring to catch baseballs drop
per from an airplane flying mt an ele-
walton Of 700 feet. As revised by the
overseas force, 1t includes the award
of worlds championship medal "and
everything" To go the home crowd
one better, the overseas men began
the game with the pitcher at an alti-
tude of 750 feet. A ball dropped from
that elevation and caught ut the
ground means that the next one must
be launched from 800 feet, and so on.
