ASKING FOR SELF DETERMINATION
OREGON HAS RIVAL
FAMOUS LEANING
TOWER OF PISA

PORTLAND, Ore, May 30.-The
western coast may have it's Leaning
Tower of Pisa after all. But it will
cost them nearly $2,OOO,OO0.
This city's million-bushel grain ele-
vator, characterized by some as "the
Great Mistake" is gradually sinking
in the paleozoic ooze of the Columbia
River. Why, the engineers are not
agreed. The huge cylindrical storage
buildings and operating house, con-
tanning thousands of dollars worth
of machinery for the operation of the
traction IS sinking further into the
mire of the river.
1t is the contention Of some engi-
neers who have been asked by the
City of Portland to make an examina-
tion that piles were driven for the
support of the structure in shifting
sands, and that tests show no solid
bottom could be reached even at a
depth of 162 feet. There is nothing
to show, they add, that there is any
solid bottom at all.
Just the other day piles were
driven at the corner of one of the
storage tanks in an effort to bolster
it up. How successful this will be,
the engineers say, is feasible-if the
buildings can be held even though
they tip just a tiny bit-why, then
Portland has its Leaning Tower,
certainly as large and much more
costly than the queer structure of
Italy.
Efforts of State organizations, of
individual and collective engineers,
of the Commission of Public Docks of
the City of Portland, who built the
elevator, to determine the best course
for saving the structure have arrived
at no definite and final method as
yet.
No blame nor responsibility for the
failure to ascertain the soil condi-
tion upon which the buildings were
erected has yet been made, but there
are those interested who hotly con-
tend that some such responsibility,
should be fixed.
And in the meantime tourists leave
the many hotels daily and special
autos carry them to the, scene of the
modern Leaning Tower.

WOULD BRIDLE THE
DISPOSITION OF
TONGUES To
RUN Wild

NORTHFIELD, Mass, May 81
The first Anti-Gossiping League of
the World has been organized in this
beautiful village. A national No
Gossip Day is proposed.
The 'No-Gossip League is unique.
1t has no constitution, no bylaws, no
officers, no dues. Yet the founder
and organizer, F. Amber Welch,
editor and publisher of the North
field Press, sees a great future for
the organization.
"Not that Mortified is more gos-
sipy than any other town in the
world,' said he. Gossip is an off
spring of envy. 1t is natural for
women to be envious, but it is true
that men are also moved that way on
occasions.
"It occurs to me we should give our
neighbors the benefit of the doubt.
"Why lift the eyebrow if neigh
boris wife has new paradise plume
very likely it is an old one and
was not snluggled.
"Why shrug ones SHOULDER if some
bank officer appears in a new motor
likely he n1ortgaged his
house to get it instead of stealing the
money from the bank.
"Why look critically at your neigh
Dor if he has red nose-very likely
it is from sunburn and not from tip
ping.
"We'll try to make this little town
gossip free, and if the outside world
wishes to take up the plan, I'm in
favor of pushing it."

RETURNED FROM FRANCE

Yesterday Sergeant Warren K. Nc
Carly, of the U. S. Air Service, re-
turned to Nogales, after an absence
of nearly two years, in the A. E. F.
Before going to the war Sergeant Nc
Carly was in the employ of Roy &
Titcomb, to which firm he returns to
work next Monday.
Sergeant McCarty went across with
the Tooth Aero Squadron, but his
final service was with the 376th
squadron. He has come from Camp
Kearney, California, where he was
mustered out recently.
Going over Sergeant McCarty had
an experience in making the voyage
in transport that was sunk by a
sugmarine. The loss of life from the
soldiers on the transport aggregated
261 men. McCarty was in the water
two hours before he was rescued by
a destroyer. He was taken to Ireland,
and was in a hospital at London
derry. After discharge there he was
attached to the British air service
some months, and then was sent to
France where he had a hand in the
windup of the war.
In Paris Sergeant McCarty called
on Mr.. Leon Horvilleur, and was en-
tertained most royalty by that genial
gentleman and his family.

the British flag, and our so-called
self-government has proven itself to
be a sham. AS to reasons why no
national policy can be consistently
carried ou white we remain in our
present position of dependence, the
following may be mentioned: First
there is the allegation of the impe-
rialists, supported by General Botha
and his government, that our self
government is of the nature of a mere
conditional grant, and that it can be-
withdrawn at any time if the British
Government so desires, or if it is ex.
ercised in a manner contrary to the
will of the British people"
Against this charge, well-informed
British persons point out that history
shows, as in the case of Canada, Aus
tralia, Newfoundland and New Zea-
land, that once self-government, un-
der the British crown, is granted, it
never is taken away, and that the
conditional nature of the grant is
simply to prevent rebellion or up
break of the empire.
General Hertzog, in his statement
to the Manchester Guardian, gave
these additional reasons why self
government of the Orange Free State
and Transvaal was conflict with the
present system.
1. Those in charge of the govern
ment of the South Africa Union, in
time of stress, keep their eyes on the
wishes of the British Government
rather thans South Africa.
2. The so-called government
stops the moment it comes to the
question of making war or forming
peace. If England becomes involved
in war, South Africa automatically is
dragged into it.
g. On the whole, the English
speaking people of South Africa
adopt an air of superiority over the
older population, causing constant
friction.
Against these allegations it is
pointed out there that South Africa
freely entered, of her own accord,
into the union, that the union enjoys
the benefits and protection of the
Empire, and has opportunity of
greater development as part of the

Arizona Had A Big Contingent
In That Famous Unit Of
The A. f. f.
WAS ORGANIZED BY GENERAL WOOD

WASHINGTON, May 31.-Official
figures promulgated today give the
casualties of the 89th Division, which
embraced men from Arizona, New
Mexico, Kansas, Missouri and Colo
rado.
This division was organized by
General Leonard Wood, who expected
to go across with it and command the
division in its operations in the battle
front; but that privilege was denied
him. However in organizing and
training the seth, General Woods
thoroughness and expertness as dis
ciplinarian were manifested in an
eminent degree. 1t held the honored
and dangerous duty of acting as
shock troops; and on every occasion
where called into action it gave the
Boches such a series of overpowering
shocks that they were glad to beat
"a mastery retreat"
That the division was typically
American and well commanded is
seen from the fact that the prisoners
list contains but five names one Of
ficer and four privates, while the
killed includes 48 officers and 1881
privates and the wounded and gassed
report covers 2O1 officers and $3.50
privates. One officer and 81 privates
are officially reported as missing in
action and their whereabouts or fate
is still unknown.

SOUTH AFRICAN NATIONALISTS
LAUNCH CAMPAIGN FOR IN
DEPENDENCE-MAY PRE-
SENT CASE AT YER
SAILLES

LONDON, (by ma1D The national
lists of South Africa, headed by Gen
eral Hertzog, have launched their
political campaign before the world
to obtain independence for the Or
ange Free State and the Transvaal
which were merged with the South
African Union under the British
crown in 1902, following the Boer
war.
Hertzog heads mission of Ma
tionalists from those States who say
they will present their case to the
Paris Peace Conference in order 70
"obtain reparation of the injustice
done in 1902" if they do not obtain
satisfaction from the British Govern
ment Hertzog bitterly opposed to
any arrangement which does not re-
store the Orange Free State and
the Transvaal to their original posi-
ton, denies the Nationalists' action
will lead to open rebellion.
cit is our intention to use only con-
stitutional means to attain our end
and there can be no question of open
rebellion" Hertzog, right hand man
of General Botha during the Boer
War, told the Manchester Guardian.
Hertzog now is member of the
South African Parliament.
The South African Nationalists,
Hertzog said, are primarily inter-
ested in independence for the former
Boer States; independence for any
other section is a secondary consider
alton.
To-day the principle Of restitution
has been accepted by the world pow
ers," Hertzog said, "and we therefore
ask that our independence be given
back to u.s."
"The South African Nationalist
party was born in 1918 as a protest
against the imperialistic policy of
General Botha and his government.
The party's main programme is that
it is the duty of the Government and
the right of the people that in the
consideration of any problem in which
South Africa is involved the interests
of South Africa SHOULD be the decid-
ing factor. This principle of course,
stood in direct opposition to the
policy now as always pursued and
proclaimed by the imperialists of
South Africa, namely, that in all
questions existing between England
and South Africa the interests of the
empire must override those of South
Africa.
"Eevents since 1918 have convinced
us that the national policy is not and
cannot be carried out consistently as
long as South Africa remains under

SPEEDING UP PEACE NEGOTIATIONS.

President Wilson's warning to the Peace
conference, that too much time has already
been spent in talk, and that action soon must
follow, certainly ought to produce results. 1t
is not the purpose of the American delegation
to undertake to dominate the conference, nor to
drive through treaty without mature delibera-
tion But its members realize how impatient
the world is becoming for definite determination
of the problems, how much depends on the
ISSUE and the anxiety of everybody concerned to
be about the tasks of rebuilding the world. Ger
many alone can profit through delay and al
ready has for that matter.
The multiplicity of problems presented to
the conferees, some of them entirely unrelated,
or at best only remotely connected with the
war, and the ardor with which the inconsequen-
tails have been pressed, is responsible for most
of the waiting. America, asking for nothing.
seeking no advantage striving only to formulate
basis for enduring peace has listened with
patience to the special pleadings of the con-
hictng interests, and has striven to bring about
concord between elements at variance. But
there is limit even to Americas patience, and
action can not be longer postponed without set
ting up irritation.
In this connection, it is worthy of notice that
the American delegates report they had the
Root amendments to the league covenant under
consideration for several days before they were
published in this country; also that they are re-
garded as helpful because constructive, and that
efforts will be made to incorporate the senator's
suggestions in the document as finally adopted.
The distinction between the representatives OF
the United States in Paris and the Swallow it
whole" shouters at home is thus very sharply
defined
