Sneering at the promise of Japan to restore the property to China, Sherman said Japan would not sur- render this advantage so gained, Article 109 and the portion of the treaty relating to Shantung are twin brothers of a common iniquity, They speak the language of a joint outrage and bear the evidence of deliberate prearranged conspiracy, He hinted at trouble with Great Britain-in a struggle for the world's trade and said she had at times been void of Fy : sentiment and sometimes of humanit he said. “The principle of |i ereaking dows and destroying her tional co-operation as the h by which international peace oe ‘Then he forecast @ war with be made wecure has never been) wwe have denied Japan the right ‘before.

The Sinking Fund Commission this afternoon approved plans of Dock Commissioner Murray Hulbert for the erection of eleven new city plers in Staten Island and three if Manhat- tan which, It is estimated, will bring in an additional annual rental of $1,- 500,000. All of the planned pliers have already been leased by responsible companies, Commissioner Hulbert says. In addition, Commissioher Hulbert has requested the Sipking Fund Com- mission to approve condemnation pro- ceedings whicif will permft the ras- ing of Piers 1, 2, 3, 4 and 6, North River, and erect in their stead three piers, The property concerned, which is the only improved Manhettan waterfront privately owned, belongs to the Pennsylvania Railroad and a private estate. It runs from Battery Place along West Street to Morris Street. It in estimated that it will cost the city about $6,000,000 to pur- chase the property and byild the new piers. a ‘The purchase price will be about $2,500,000, Commissioner Hulbert ways the Pennsylvania Rajlroad Com- pany has agreed to lease one new pier and the Oriental Steamship Company and the Pearce Steamship Company the other two. They have. agreed to pay as yearly rental seven and one-half per cent. of the city’s investment. The, present highest percentage earned by the city under similar agreements, Commissioner Hurlbert says, is five and one-half er cent, This means @ gain of $160,- @ year.

Senator Jones said the President should make public his view of the covenant’s declaration regarding the Monroe Doctrine, “Until he does so,” declared Gena- tor Jones, “it t# only reasonable to insist upon declaring to the world in a proper way exactly how we under- stand ét” ‘ The Senator suggested that Amert- can ‘representatives on the League Council should be chosen by popular election, with the requirement that before they consented to a propos: tion involving war they should sub- mit it to decision by Congress. aenscrtaden Bn __ Hearing Proclamation of Pea ty, Teading of the King’s peace proc- lamation.

Delahunty, head of the harbor engineers, said he belleved that a harbor strike was not probable, Harbor workers have disputes with the Railroad Administration, for they say that the agreement of last March, whereby they were to receive back pay dating to January, has not been fulfilled.
