oysters We're consumed by the people
Of the United States last year, 200.-

tion of North America by Eugene ID.

Allies Protest

Berlin, May 19.-The German gov
ernment has received a note from the
allied military control commission
protesting against the recruiting in
various parts of Germany of volun-
teers for Silesia and demanding that
measures be taken Immediately to
prevent such infringement on the
peace treaty. The disbandment 81 the
detachments already formed in upper
Silesia also is demanded.
The government has issued warn

waited, Is Present Plan.

Berlin, May 19.-To keep right up
to date with Germany's reparation OBJ
legations, or even good bit ahead. is
declared in creditable quarters to be
the ambition of Chancellor Wirth,
who is now speeding up activities in
the various commissions to get them
familiarized with the various pro
visions and technicalities of the al
lied ultimatuln and reparation terms
which Germany has accepted.
DR.. Wirth, through the foreign Of
flee. OF which he is temporarily the
head. has impressed upon all the gov
ernmental departments the urgent
need for coOrdinated effort primar-
lily for the purpose, it was stated "of
producing an atmosphere of conf
dence in dealings with the entent. The
lack of this previously, it is conceded
now, has been the chief cause of Ger
many'S discredit with the allies dur
ing the reparations controversy.
The new chancellor, who has not
yet reached the middle fOrties, is as
tonishing his cabinet colleagues with
the political acumen and industry he
has displayed since becoming the head
of the government, it is declared by
observers of current governmental ac-
tivities. 1t is forecast that DR.. Wirth
probably will retain control of Ger
many's foreign affairs, in addition to
the chancellorshp.
Posts Still Vacant
No progress has been made in the
direction of filling the vacant cabinet
posts or extending the new govern
ments parliamentary basis The cler-
icals and Democrats both desire to
have the industrial interests repre-
sented in the cabinet by including the
peoples party. but the majority social
lists have not yet been won over to
the suggestion of four-party govern
ment coalition.
Interest in the fate of the Knox
peace resolution is still very much
alive in German circles, a spokesman
for the Wirth cabinet declaring today
that the new government is keenly
desirous of having peace with the
United States restored at the earliest
possible date, now that tine repara-
tions issue has been disposed of and
Germany is facing the necessity of
taking a national inventory of her
productive assets.
The cabinet members express the
belief that separate peace would of
fer a more attractive prospect for
Germany as resurrection of the Yer
sailles treaty probably would result
in protracted debates over observa-
tionS which would be eliminated
through joint congressional action
With the United States represented
in the supreme cOuncil and on the re-.
parations commission, official quar-
ters believe America would have as
great a modifying influence in the al
lied council as if the United States
ratified the Versailles treaty and that
under these conditions an early peace
with the United tSates would prob
ably assert itself in an economic slim

FEDERAL CONTROL RESULTED in MANY
ROAD EMPLOYEES TAKING HIGHER GRADE
President Of New Ycr Central Tese Before Senate Committee
Today on Effects Of Public Management Rail Service

Washington, May 19,-Under fed
eral control of railroads wages Of
specified classes of employees not only
were raised by many employees but
were placed on higher grades than
those on which they were prior to or
ders and national agreements, Presi-
dent A. II. Smith. of the New York
Central testified today before a senate
investigating committee.
The Reconsideration not only had
the effect of increasing wages but
very largely increased the number of

Mr.. Smith said that in the locomo-

employees on the monthly payrolls
was increased from 11,545 before the
agreement reached under federal con-

exercised against normal trade was
unreasonable
Delivered Oral Opinions
The majority of Justice White 6
opinions were extemporaneous His
friends .said it indicated the power of
the jurist to analyze orally and with
out notes, an intricate legal PROPOSE
ton, quoting precept and precedent
with absolute accuracy as to his cita-
tions.
No chief justice since the first has
had more important tenure of of
fee, according to students CT law,
Occupying a place in the court for q
years, Mr.. White presided in judg
ments which decided the fate of the
income tax, direct primary, prohibi-
lion and woman suffrage amendments
as we'll as the issues of the tremen-
dous legal battles which grew out of
the anti trust and commerce regula-
ton laws.
With the opening of the world war
the court was called on to determine
the validity of the selective service
ard espionage acts, and many others
adopted in the period of the national
crisis.
Appearance in Court
Chief Justice Whites attitude III
court was deceptive and often misled
the uninitiated attorneys. Almost in
variably he would recline in his high
backed chair, his hand over his eyes
as if doing. But the least divergence
from the set rules of the court, or the
slightest attempt to impose on the
time of that body, Immediately
brought a reaction.
Counsel may proceed on the as
sumption that this court knows the
law" he suddenly shot at a famous
lawyer who had wandered afar in his
effort to translate the meaning Of a
statute.
Mr.. White considered the chief JUS
ticeship as equal in Importance to the
presidency, according to intimate
friends.
