(New York Warld.) In the statement issued at Tokio by Viscount Uchida, the Japanese fereign minister again gives official assurance that Japan has no intention of hold- ing Shantung. In the most positive terms he not only declares that Japan will claim na rights affecting the ter- ritorial sovereignty of China in the province of Shantung but promises that Japanese troops will at once be withdrawn upon the conclusion of an agreement with China. The pledge given to China in 1915, he repeats, holds good. *Japan is quite willing to restore to China the whole of the ter- ritory in question and to enter upon negotiations with the government at Peking regarding the necessary ar- rangement to give effect to the pledge at the soonest possible time after the Versailles treaty has been ratified by Japan.” This ves only the question of the rights renounced by Germany in the peace treaty in favor of Japan con- cerning the territory of Kiaochow. Under the provisions of articles 156, 157 and 158, Japan is to acquire all the property of Germany, railwa mines and submarine cables. Viscount Uchida adds, however, that Japan has under consideration the establishment at Tsingtau of a general foreign set- tlement instead of a purely Japanese settlement. Of course this official statement of the Japanese foreign minister will not be accepted as having any value by Senators Borah, Johnson, Norris and Watson. Nothing that Japan can do will” satisfy them. Whatever pledges it may make or whatever plans it may announce will only confirm them in their hostility to the peace treaty. They will die in their tracks before they will surrender one inch of ground and cold facts and plain figures are of no account. But to other senators who are open to reason, the frank statement made in the name of the Japanese government must be helpful in removing any honest misgivings they have had about the Shaniung situation SLEEPY COP' “DOCKED.” Police Commission Penalty on Patrolman Hahn of Week's Pay Patrolman Frank Hahn was fined one week's pay by the police commis- sion at the meeting held last evening for falling aslecp while on duty.

Paris, Aug The presence of Premier Clemenceau at the first gen- eral assembly of the league of na- tions at Washington is strongly urged in Americani quarters according to Marcel Hutin of the KEcho de Paris who says his informant is a French | statesman. M. Hutin adds that, while, on the | other hand, the premier “cannot bind | himself to go to America at the time when his presence in France is par- ticularly necessary it may be possible | to arrange things, and it thought he will be unlikely to remain insen- sible to the pressing invitations he is getting from America.” As to the date of the assembly, it is said, an exchange of views between | the Allied governments is now going on. In some quarfers there is some sentiment in favor of delaying the meeting until a well arranged pro- gram is drawn up, but others, notably the French, express the opinion the gathering should be held this fall so that a program of guiding principles could be firmly established.

KR ALE SPECIAL.” Cafe Owner Arrested and Held in $1,- 000 Bail. Trenton, N. J., Aug. 8.—Charged with selling “‘ginger ale special,” said to have been made with brandy and ginger ale, John L. Thompson, pro- prietor of the Lafayette cafe, bartender, Fred Curtis, were ed yesterday by department of jus tice agents and held in §1,000 bail each. This is the first prosecution of kind in this city. Tevis and C. T. Sprague, de- of justice men, purchased some beer in the cafe and noticed other men were served with drinks in small glasses. They asked for and received two of the “ginger ale spe- cials,” they say, paying twenty-five cents each for them. They then jumped over the bar and confiscated the botties, while the customers in the place fled through the doors. EXPOSE PLOT TO KILL RENN its L. 8, partment iR.

It can determine precisely what each employve shall receive ‘for the service he renders. There can be no question in regard to its power in that regard.” All of which may be theoretically true. But Senator Thomas in these questions pointed out that demands of the employes total an increase of $800,000,000 a year.
