Senator Johnson said.he could not subscribe to the views of other “irreconcilables” that the treaty would be likely to involve this country in recognizing the sincerity of those holding that view. 1 Senator Johnson declared, however, unalterable opposition to America’s Joining tho allied reparations commis- sion.. The' views of Secretary Hughes in favor of euch representation, he vald, “constitute the danger of the fu- ture.” Secretary Hughes, the senator declared, was “one of those who would have taken us into the maelstrom of Burope."

The committee, however, urges that British troops be retained in Mesopotamia, says the Daily Sketch. Sir Eric Geddes, who yesterday ten- dered his resignation as minister of transportation in the British cabinet, acted as chairman of the committee. It is asserted by the Sketch that thé committee was surprised to find the number of men in the British army at present to be 10,000 in ex- ‘cess of the forces in 1914.

The capture was effected through strategy. The officers sent a message to him promising to recompense him for damage done to the home by rifle |tire.

WASHINGTON,, Oct. 18. — Prest- dent Harding was in positicn today to lay before his cabinet an analyais of the railroad strike situation, an out- line of the government's ‘position in the controversy and suggestions as to defensive measures to protect federal functions if and when the tieup be- comes actual. In eddition to a report submitted by the joint conference of the public group of the railroad labor board, and the interestate commerce commission, Mr. Harding was understood to he the gist of reports obtained by Atto ney General Daugherty and Postmas- ter General Hays after surveys of the situation by operatives in the depart- ment of justice and postoffice estab- Ushment. Secretary Weeks had at his dis- posal the result of a study made by general staff officers as an rrademio problem, of the best methods of util- izing the powers of his portfolio of transportation, but {t was not known whether he had been invited to bring this to the White. House. It was said with authority that no consideration was being given at this time to the move to enlist the aid of the courts in preventing the strike, and Chairman Cummins of the senate interstate commerce committee, was positive that congress would not take any action at this stage of the situa. tion. The first move of the day bearing on the strike situation, was a con- ference at the White Housé between the president and Secretary Davis, |who was summoned to Washington |from a trip through the middlewest |within a few hours after announce- ment was made in Chicago that a strike call had been issued. Attorney General Daugherty, on entering the cabinet meeting today, said. “I think {t tmproper for the depart- ment of justice to discuss any phase jot the railroad strike situation at this |time. If any action is required by |the department, of course there will be action, but in all probability there will be no statement from the depart- ment concerning the strike situation until there are furthers developments.

CHICAGO, Oct. | NO JAP AGGRESSION BRYCE GIVES VIEWS LONDON, Oct. 18.—Americans are apprehensive of Japanese ag- gression, Viscount James Bryce, former British ambassador at Washington, in an article print- ed in today’s London Times, in which he reviews the popular atti- tude of America toward the confer- ence on the limitations of arma- ments, as he observed it during his recent visit to the United States. He declares Americans hold the opin- fon that the AngloJapanese treaty encourages Japan to take an aggres- sive sttitude. Viscount Bryce deprecates the fear + \ of the Japanese and says, among other things, that the Japanese in California are not numerous enough to be a danger, although they are clannish and progressive. “Californians,” he goes on, “have the same sort of dislike for them which the rougher part of the wage earning class everywhere has for strangers who, while competing ‘or work, are dissimilar in habits and aspects. The Irritation against che Japanese is sedulously fostered and diffused by the meaner organs of the press. Some American writers have even warned California to be- ware of a Japanese invasion, al- though every one might at this time and day be expected to know what would befall a fleet and army arriv- ing on a hostile coast after a voy- age of many thousands of miles, oc- cupying more than three weeks.” “Mr. Harding’s administration has done all it can and deserves suc- cess,” he concludes, “but if the con ference should fail the disappoint- ment of American mopes would be bitter and severe in proportion to their present brightness, and the prospect of international co-opera- tion would be darkened.”
