 LIBERTY BONDS
State Defense Council Urges Campaign Against
 Unpatriotic Deals.

The State Council of Defense has started campaign against profiteer- ing in Liberty Bonds, and in circu- lar sent to A. H. Rowell, chairman of the Jefferson county Council of De- fense, urges investigation of the traf- ficing in bonds which tends to depre- ciate their value. The circular follows:
 "The Council of National Defense is calling upon you to assist the Treasury Department and protect your citizens by preventing Liberty Bonds from being offered in exchange for securities or merchandise, and request that you be on the watch for and check all offers to accept gov ernment bonds in exchange.
 Regarding the exchange of securi- ties for Liberty Loan Bonds, the Sec retary of the Treasury has pointed cut, not only that this impedes the Governments financial program, but also that large percentage of the securities so offered have been found to be worthless and the mere fact that any security is offered in this unpatri- otic way justifies suspicion and an investigation of it's character.
 Regarding the exchange of mer- chandise for Liberty Loan Bonds, Sec retary McAdoo has said, "When the Bonds are exchanged for merchan- disc, it defeats the primary purpose of their sale, it discourages thrift and increases expenditures, thus de- priving the government of labor and material needed for war purposes" In addition, bonds taken in exchange are usually sold immediately in the open market, thus depressing the market price.
 Government bonds should be held by their original purchasers, except when sale is required by real neces- sity or misfortune.
 'In order to prevent offers to take Government bonds in exchange, we recommend the following procedure:
 q. That you instruct your mem- bers and your community councils to locate and follow up all specific cases:
 "2. That, if you find the abuse in your country so extensive as to war rant it, you get warning before the general public;
 s. That you report all serious case to the Director of War Loan Or. ganization, Treasury Department, Washington"

Vivan Martin in Unclaimed Goods" With everybody decrying the screens lack of original stories and film companies offering special inducements for new plots, feature which can be described as different in the fullest meaning of the word must be a worthwhile photo-play Thus "Unclaimed Goods," being dis praised for the originality of it's plot and novelty of it's fundamental idea.
 But it's merit does not end here. The producers have employed their unique material in realistic production un- usually effective in it's simplicity and much credit for the plays effec- tiveness is due to Rollin s. Surgeons good direction throughout and to, J. c. Van Trees camera work. There are not so many settings, either exteriors or interiors as the average five-reel- CT reveals and this concentrates more attention on the action. However. the settings selected have been photo graphed to splendid advantage and several outdoor "shots" at long range are particularly impressive.

consulates throughout Shantung to
look after the welfare of Japanese
residents making unnecessary the es-
tablishment of civil administration.
Japanese civil officers have already
assured jurisdiction in cases of rents
an debts.
what was the Germans only en-
joyed priority in acquiring mining
rights, the Japanese actually inter-
fere in some instances with mines al
ready owned and exploited by Chin
ese. even to the length of prohibiting
the sale Of products.
1.-THE building of roads, establish
ment of an industrial school and the
taking over of control of railway
hospital and the hospital for gend-
armes in Tsingtau is regarded as evil
ednce of intended permanent occupa-
tion.'
The Chinese could, perhaps, forgive
the japanese for other acts if they
had not extended their jurisdiction to
the railway and to railway zone
about ten miles wide extending as far
as Tsinanfu. According to competenr
authority no convention was even en-
acted with the Germans for a railway
zone.
This want of any authority for a
railway zone" is being urged by the
Chinese foreign Office in it's protest
against the alleged encroachment.
The Japanese, in reply, argue the
difficulty of altering a decree issued
by their emperor, declaring that what
they are doing in Shantung is such au-
thority.
The Chinese declare that under ex-
listing treaties any decree by Japan
can only affect the Tsingtau district
and the erstwhile leased territory
therefore there is no need of modify
ing the decree, the only requisite be
i"g to properly Interpret it.

CHINESE PROTEST
AGAINST THE JAPs
ARE ACCUSED OF En-
CROACHING ON CHINA'S TERRI
TORY-BOYCOTT AGAINST JAP.
ANESE FOODSTUFFS.

PICKING, April S.-Substitution by
by the Japanese of civil administration
for military rule in Tsingtau and along
the Tsingtau-T sinan railway which is
regarded her as giving the appearance
of permanency to Japan's occupation
of that territory in Shantung wrested
from the Germans at the beginning Of
the war, has aroused the idignation
of the Chinese local population. This
has been expressed in petitions to the
central government to the government
of other provinces and to the inf1en-
tial Chinese Organizations.
The Chinese government has pro-
tested to Toxic and has received re-
ply stating in effect that the inaugura-
ton of civil government was done
with the idea that it might please the
local POPULATION better than a military
regime.
Japans point of view, as described
here, is that any obligations to vacate
the territory in question after the war,
which existed by virtue of Japan's
declaration at the time of its occupa-
ton. has been annulled by China's
declaration of war against German
and the consequent cancellation of
existing treaties
1t is understood in Picking that Japan
holds that the ultimate disposition of
this territory must be the subject OF
further negotiations between China
and Japan.
Meanwhile Japan is perfecting and
extending her civil administration on
the ground that it is her duty to main
tain peace and prosperity in the terri
tory she captured from Germany.
: eading Shantung men, who have
With dispair Japan's action say much
capital is being made OF the lansing
Ishii agreement. According to these
authorities the japanese declare that
their position as special guardians o.
that territory is now fully conceded
end that no power can resist it.
The bitterness which has developed
on the part of the Chinese is indicated
by the paragraph in written protest
by the Shantung Provincial Assembly,
hiwch reads: Our fellow men in the
province of Shantung in their struggle
to be released from political calami-
ties have determined never to taste
japanese fish or meat even Though
they starve."
Causes Of complaint cited in protests
which are raining in upon the central
government follow:
In Tsingtau, Fangtze, Changtien
ard Tsinan the japanese have estab-
lished civil administration depart
ments in disregard for Chinese So
creignty. The Germans during the en-
tire time Of their occupation, it is
pointed out, never attempted to in
stitute civil administration and left
to China the right to police the rail
