Wilson May Issue Statement
Last week when It appeared that
an agreement was about to be reach
ed on the basis of the original Ameri-
can proposal intimations were given
in official quarters that the President
was soon to issue a statement ex-
planning the plans Of the United
States.
After the Japanese government
found it necessary to call upon the
state department explanation Of some
features Of the American proposal.
the statement was withheld. Presum-
ably, now that has been reached, the
statement will be issued.
Meanwhile, the seal Of conddenco
remains unbroken and it is the de-
sire of officials that there shall be no
speculation in the press that might
prove embarrassing.
Consequently, all that it is now pos
sible to say is that in the beginning,
at least, the international agreement
must find its expression in combined
military activity and cable advices
have recorded the gathering Of small
| bodies of entente troops at points in
China convenient for dispatch into
western Siberia.
Pao Kuci Ching. the provincial
governor at Sci Lung King. has been
selected to command the considerable
ibody Of Chinese troops which have
been gathered in Manchuria and it is
understood that already it has been
arranged that this force shall oper-
ate in conjunction with japanese
troops and that it will act under the
direction Of the Japanese commander

LEAGUE OF
NATIONS MAY
Be ENDANGERED
Such is Opinion Of James H,
Thomas in Speaking Of
Economic Weapons.

London, Thursday, Aug. 1.-Fear
that the adoption Of economic weap-
ons after the war might endanger the
proposed league of nations was ex-
pressed by James H. Thomas. labor
member Of parliament for Derby, in
the house Of commons today.
Foreign Secretary Balfour in reply
complained that he had heard no
really practical suggestions from
members for the attainment of the
objects they all had in view nor any
indication where an international po-
lice force to enforce contracts between
nations could be found.
Unquestionably, he continued, q
league of nations could not afford tc
deprive its armory Of economic weap.
ons! 1t is perfectly true. that the eco
nomic weapons is capable of misuse
as witness Germany's policy in Rus
sia in a manner destructive to liber.
ty, but the foreign secretary saw nc
sign Of any country consenting tt
abandon the employment Of tariffs Il
1t considered them necessary. He be-
lieved that Mr.. Thomas would FIND
that labor would not abandon this
method Of dealing with economic
problems.
Mr.. Balfour also contended thai

BILLY SUNDAY HITS
ATTACKING CRANK

Persons attending the Billy Sunday
meeting at Atlanta one night recently
witnessed a brief physical encounter
on the pulpit platform between the
evangelist and man, said to be a
German, who attacked Sunday after
he had severely denounced in his SER
mon the Turkish atrocities in Pales-
tine. The man, who gave his name as
W. H. Beuterbaugh, was arrested on a
charge of assault.
Sunday had just finished his arraign.
ment of the Turks, which he concluded
by saying, "We are going to put it
over on all of that bunch because God
is with u.s." when Beuterbaugh was
seen to approach Sunday from the rear
of the platform. Efforts were made
to stop him, but he succeeded in reach
ing the evangelist and landing blow
that scratched Sundays face. Sunday
struck his assailant on the jaw, ac-
cording to witnesses of the affair,
after which they were separated.
According to the police, Beuterbaugh
was arrested several days before fol-
lowing an attempt to gain admission
to Sundays home, but upon the plea
that he desired to talk with the evan
gelist on religious matters, was al
lowed his freedom.
After order was restored in the
building Sunday completed his sermon.

THREE CARSON BOYS

Mr.. and Mrs. ]. X. Carson, have

sons to enlist, having gone to Portland
last week with his mother to join tAs

War Gardens to be Discussed

Some of the reasons why war gar
dens last year were great successes
bringing in several hundred dollars,
while others were failures, will be
considered at the vegetable growers
and home gardeners conference at
o. A. c. Farmers week, Thursday
and Friday. Many growers are not
producing the types they should grow.
Some very desirable vegetables that
never find their way to the table should
be given place in the garden. Selec.
tion of seed, rotation of crops, prepar.
alton of ground, culture, fertilizers,
pest control and marketing, will be
treated by men best fitted by training
and successful experience to handle
them. If rightly managed the farm
garden plot is second to none of like
area for profit. The proceedings of
the conference will help to make it
such.
