Mr.. TAFT OPPOSES
WILSON PLAN IN TREATY
Would Be Fourteen Months Before
Anything Like Settlement
Could Be Reached.

Portland, Me-, Jan. l0.~-Procrastina-
ton in the settlement of the Senate
controversy over the ratification OF the
peace treaty, which former President
Taft said would result if President
Wilson's idea OF making the treaty the
issue of a campaign was followed, was
opposed by Mr.. Taft yesterday in re-
marks at a dinner of the Portland Ro-
tary club.
Ii would be IA months, Mr.. Taft said,
before anything like a settlement could
be reached and 1t is doubtful then n
it could really be accomplishments ar
gued against the acceptance OF the
leadership of extremists at either end
of the line of the controversy and said
Ii is essential that world peace be Sc
cured promptly and on the best posi-
bic terms through compromise.

Bolshevik Money in America.

Former financial officials of the I'M
perial and the provincial governments
who were personally known to former
Ambassador Francis called on him
while he was in Petrograd, and IN a
strictly confidential discussion OF the
situation they requested him IN the
name Of the nationalized banks to com
municate with all the banks in the
United States having credits of these
nationalized Russian banks not to hon
or any cable or mail orders, even pur'
porting to come from them authorizing
them to pay such balances to any des-
ignated and identified persons in the
United States without first cabling
their own Russian correspondent Tor
confirmation.
These officials explained to Mr.. Fran
els that If any bank officer declined to
send cable of written orders, even in
cipher. when so ordered by the soviet
officials they would be imprisoned. All
important Russian banks then had
credits in American banks. They had
been nationalized by the soviet or com
munistic government, and their OH
Gals knew that credits paid out on
these orders to men in America would
be used for the bolshevistic propaganda
in America, as our government had
then established censorship and only
nermitted remittaRces when satisfied
that such remittances would not reach
the enemy nor the soviet government
which Ambassador Francis had advised
wit N
our enemies
IL has not been possible for Ambas-
sador Francis to give the names of the
bank officials who called upon him in
this way to try to prevent the trans
fer of the money from their banks 10
soviet agents in America, because 1t
would ieopardize their safety. But he
did comply Immediately with the re-
quest and cabled the state department
to advise all American banks having
credits to these nationalized Russian
banks not to honor cable orders, even
though sent in the private codes of the
Russian banks. without cabling to their
own correspondents to secure confirma-
ton. The suggestion made by Mr.
Francis was followed by the state de
partment. but Notwithstanding this
precautionary measure, Mr.. Francis
feels absolutely satisfied that the soy
let government is even row sending
money to our country for boishcvistic
propaganda.

MAY BUILD BIG PAPER MILL
At Some Place in Northern Part of
Montana.

MissouIa, Mont, Jan. 10. Conditions
unusually favorable for the location, IN
northern Montana, of a paper mill with
an annual capacity Of | 100000 cords OF
pulp wood per year are described by
II. p. Mclaughlin, supervisor OF the
Blackfeet national forest, in report
covering investigations he has been con
Quoting for several years.
The most likely location, Mr.. Me
Laughlin says, is in compact body OF
timber on the Flathead river. just west
OF Glacier National park. He says this
stand would afford 100000 cords OF
pulp wood, easily accessible to govern
ment roads already built at cost OF
5000 900. and handy to natural water
ways for cheap transportation to the
mill. Natural power sites may be
found on or adjacent to Flathead lake,
il is declared, and railway transporta
ton is close by.
The market for such a mill, the re-
port states, would be found in the in
termotintain territory from the Cana
dian border to the Gulf of Mexico. 1t
is estimated the annual paper eonsump-
ton of this region is 100000 tons an.
nually. Sufficient wood to run mill
with this capacity is available IN the
Flathead territory for 60 years opera
ton. or with rotation Of cutting, It 4
declared, the yield will be found practi-
cally ineAhaustible.
Ii is expected that bids for the pur-
chase OF government timber in this
section. with view TO erection OF a
paper mill, win be asked by the forest
service in the near future.

The Rare Art of Walking.

1T requires direct dispensation
from heaven to become a walker; you
must be born into the family of walk
ers," declared Thoreau.
Changed conditions of living have in
deed made walking rare and almost
lost art in America. Only here and
there one finds a devotee of this un-
usual sport; but wherever such one
is found il is absolutely certain that
a most interesting personality Is en-
countered. The real walker Is man
or woman who always possesses a deep
fund of knowledge, unique and original
ideas and, Just as important, sound,
alert and durable" body.
Thoreau believed that he could not
preserve either his health or spirits
without spending at least four hours a
day. sauntering through the fields,
woods and over the hills, absolutely
free from all worldly engagements.
This lover of the outdoors, whose mind
was continually fresh and whose senses
were keenly alert to all the sights and
sounds of nature, deplored the fact that
so many persons sit indoors all day,
working at their trades, and declared
that they deserve credit for not having
committed suicide wholesale long ago.
Many Of the greatest men have been
great and regular walkers. An OBJ
servant neighbor used to say that he
could set his timepiece accurately by
seeing Kant, the philosopher, start for
his afternoon outing. Wordsworth,
Hazlitt and many other literary men
were inveterate walkers. and conceived
some OF the best of their productions
as they strobe steadily forward. Most
eeniuses have preferred to walk alone.
Hazlita welcomed companions, but only
when talking was first and walking sec

Economies in health. doctors bills,
car fare and gasoline that are possible
through regular exercise in the open
would make life a new and better
proposition to countless thousands Of
city jewellers. Starting fifteen min

late with a steady jaunt and BIT OF

ton to give the proposition a test. II

The Case of Jenkins.

cit would I've grave mistake u our
government were to hasten TO severe
Diplomatic relations with Mexico be-
cause of the issues involved IN the
case of William o. jenkins, American
consular agent at Puebla. As the Her
aid predicted, the refusal OF the Mex
lean government to comply with the de-
mand OF our government on the 10th
Of November, for the immediate lib
Grafton Of Mr.. jenkins, turns chiefly
upon the autonomy of the states--a
condition exactly parallel to that
which exists in this country, where
cases which are brought before state
courts are decided primarily in those
courts. without the intervention OF fed
eral courts or authorities.
IL would be an extraordinary state
OF things If some foreign government
offended at the action relating to one OF
its citizens, taken in a court OF OKLA
home or North Dakota, or some other
state. were to demand of our federal
government the immediate liberation
OF the person, concerned. Yet that Is
what we have done in the case Of Jen-
kins.I He has been brought before the
courts in the Mexican state of Puebia;
he has not been convicted or sentenced;
he has not been treated with severity;
he has been offered release on bail, but
has refused the offer. Our letter TO
the Mexican government charges that
his arrest is entirely unjustihed and
an arbitrary exercise OF public author
iS." and an instance of consistent
persecution and subsequent harassing,
which cannot but have very serious
effect on the rela tons between the two
countries.
That is severe and provocative Ian
ynage to use in a case which has gonf
no further than that of ME jenkins,
and for which. so far as it has gone, the
state of Puebla, and not the republic
of Mexieo, is directly responsible. We
should exercise toward Mexico the same
patience and the same recognition OF
the dual authority Of state and nation
which we should expect of Mexico # the
conditions were reversed; and this all
the more because the memory OF past
experiences naturally makes our neigh
Dor republic especially sensitive.-Bos-
ton Herald.

A Notifying Episode.

The recent sale to real estate brok-
Err of the old house on Prince street,
New York City, where James Monroe,
fifth ~president of the United States,
died. il a reminder of how minor Ia
tallties will occasionally follow great
name. The movement to preserve the
house as an historic relic failed utterly
and this, too. in whit might prop
erly be called a mentsbuihlng era.
Monroe came into Office as chief execu-
tive when new or rather a renewed
Americanism. was in the air, the heri-
tape of the War of 1912. The wise
yirginian so guided affairs OF. state
that partisan lines were nearly oblIter-
nted. and the EZRA of good feeling,
so often mentioned in the literature OF
that day, held the boards Monroe at
his re election in 1920 would have re-
ceived the unanimous electoral vote, u
an old Vermont Federalist had not
voted for John Quincy Adams, as a
memorial to George Washington, as he
explained. ........
In the high light of this new Amer
icanism President Monroe made the Ia
nous deelaration-not regional ar
rangementn as the laeerated league OF
nations has u--that ''the American
continents by the free and independent
condition which they have assumed and
maintain are henceforth not to be con-
sidered as subjects for future eoloni-
ration by any European power" By
strange fatality, while this doctrine,
which has now become an institution.
was being rescued in the United States
Senate from the grasp OF an mistaken
internationajism, 1t appears that New
York auctioneer was offering to the
highest bidder the house made sacred
by Monroe's death.
AT the close of his administration
James Monroe retired to his estate at
Oak Hill, Va, financially ruined man.
His private fortune had been spent
years before in the service of the re-
public in foreign countries; and ne pro-
reeded to New York to live with his
relatives. His burial took place in a
comparatively obscure cemetery on the
past side of the city. Twenty-seven
wears later, 1855, the centennial of his
birth. the proposal TO celebrate the
event led TO the notifying discovery
that his grave was not marked, and the
records were dug up and the weeds cut
down before il was located. The body
was taken to Richmond and former
President John Quincy Adams delivered
the anniversary address.

to think Of, but It will be admitted
that such an episode would be impos-
fible in a country where great things

THREE FINGERS
GONE, DEMANDS
PIANO LESSONS
Agents of Federal Board for Vocational
Education Unearth Some Strange
Reasons for Complaints Which
Come from Disabled Veterans.

Investigation by agents for the fed
eral board for vocational education into
the causes for attack upon the board
recently, has brought about some
amusing revelations. One OF the larg-
est complaints of these attacks was;
"That the board was delayed in plac-
ing the men in training" The sources
of these complaints were run down,
and here is what the agents found
from some Of the records:
Mark H. Thomas, former captain,
aged 43, Huntington, Indiana, claimed
vocational handicap. According to his
sworn statement as Thomas put it,
II cannot maintain my poise and get
extremely nervous when approaching
strangers.
Army records fail to show that the
man was ever wounded, gassed, or sur
fering from shell shock, or in fact. any
sort of injury. According to the OH,
cial records Thomas was not entitled
to the considerations OF the board.
He was given instruction in sales
manship, because he wanted It. he
failed to make good with a large au.
tomobile concern. He then demanded
course in craftsmanship OF rubber
tires. This request was granted.
The man told the district officers
that he would take up the training In a
couple of weeks, as he had some per
sohal business which it would take
about that time to finish However
the central Office at Washington re-
ceiyed a letter from Thomas demand
ing that this training be given imme-
diately. During Che two weeks that
he failed to take the training he wrote
long letters to the American Legion
Weekly complaining of the treatment
he was receiving and critielsing the
board severely
The case involved the writing OF sew.
eral hundred letters, taking up the
time which should have been devoted
to deserving case, and brought about
an attack upon the board.
Another set of complaints showed
that an applicant was granted training
in scientific baking. was on tramp
steamer bound for Belgium two hours
after he had talked with the board Of
ficials.
One who had asked for instruction In
auto mechanics was found learning
electric welding aud refused to take
the course offered him. Another who
had been plumber and had lost three
fingers during the war, threatened to
disrupt the whole board before he could
be made to see that it would be use
less to give him piano lessons. Tu'
berculosis had become active in an.
other applicant, and it was with great
difficulty that he was made to see the
necessity OF attending sanitarlun
until the disease was arrested before
he could successfully receive training
in any vocation.
Ii appeared that in most cases the
men had kicked just because they die
not have anything else TO do. Man,
of them got into the habit while IN thu
service, and they found the habit hare
to break. The agents, however, fount
most of the men ready to admit that
they had been hasty and had nothing
to complain about.
