CHINA GOES OVER
TO JAPAN IN PACT,
CHINESE CHARGE
Shanghai Gazette Asserts Sc
cret Agreement Gives Con-
troll to Island Empire

Shanghai, April "a, Delayed
The statement is made in the first
issue of the Shanghai Gazette,
which has made its appearance un-
der the editorialship of Eugene Chen,
that the Chinese government has
agreed to new demands made by
Japan, which are of such a nature
that the country has virtually been
turned over to the Japanese. The
Gazette asserts it has been informed
I by high official at Peking that the
Japanese demands are far more Sc
rious than those in Group V, of the
famous twenty-one demands made
by Japan in 1915.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
utmost secrecy is being observed" g"
says the Gazette, at may be stated
safely that the following is not far
from the true terms of the agree
ment.
Chinese expeditionary forces sent
to Siberia shall be commanded by a
Japanese.
Chinese police shall be organized
by japanese officers.
Japan shall control all of China S
arsenals and dockyards.
Japan shall have the privilege of
working mines in all parts of China.
Special privileges shall be grant
ed to Japan in outer and inner. Mon
golia and the whole of Manchuria.
"Other articles include provisions
! for financial control and educational
assistance"
A dispatch filed in Peking April
A. said it was reported there that
| Japan had submitted new series of
demands to China, including COM
plete control of China's finances. the
! purchase of fifty per cent. of China S
ammunition in Japan, operation of
Chinese from mines and dockyards
under Japanese control and recogni-
ton of special Japanese interests in
Mongolia, as in Manchuria.

GOVERNMENT FARM BANKS 49,.
MADE GOOD" DURING WAR

The farmers of the United States
have not, as a rule. felt the burden of
the rising rate of interest during the
war, owing almost entirely to the in
fuence of the Federal Farm Loan sys-
tenn on interest rates. Wherever this
system is in operation, money may be
borrowed by members of national
farm loan associations at 5h per cent.
1t may be borrowed at this rate of in
terest OF very easy terms. @ A part of
the principal is paid every year, but
the part is small so that the payment
Of 81 per cent per year is all that is
required, and at this rate the loan
will be retired In IS years "7.s ~
At the same time the farmer is per-
mitteA to pay of his debt OF any kind
at any time after five years, wholly
or in part, and the land banks have
adopted the policy OF allowing Dor.
towers to pay the loan of even before
the lapse of, five, years, If the borrow.
er will pay a small bonus which will
make the bank whole on It's obliga,
tions on its bonds. W. lA@ &i'!t@tst
In other words, borrowers under the
Federal Farm Loan system are free
to pay of after five years, yoz
may pay. off before the lapse OF five
years on the payment Of a bonus
based upon Justice, and may sell their
lands as freely as those who are mort.
gagged to any one else. These favor.
able terms have not been accomplished
by any increased rate of interest but
by a lowering Of the interest rate al
most everywhere. 4,Ss, , ~

P0|LUS HOLD
HILLS CREST
TO LAST Man
Overwhelming Forces of En-
emy Able to Gain KENNEL
Only Over Dead Bodies
of Defenders.

With the British Army in France,
April 2o.--Av, French regiment to
which had been entrusted the defense
of the crest of Mont KENNEL, with
orders to hold it to the last man, i'm
mortalized itself In yesterdays battle,
Along the Yprcs-Kemmel railway
the defenders held for a considerable
time and inflicted heavy losses on the
attacking troops.
Meanwhile the French infantry on
the crest of the hill was pumping
steady streams of bullets from ma
chine guns into the Germans.
The enemy troops kept pushing on
until finally they swung their line in
circle about KENNEL. Throughout
the early hours Of the day they tried
again and again to swarm up the hill
Exert Heavy Pressure.
Although German picked divisions
advanced yesterday morning all along
the line between Wytschaete and Bail
leul, the brunt of their attacks was
directed agar st small sector of the
allied line west of Wytschaete. So
heavy was the pressure that the de-
tenders were forced back. Into this
gap the Germans flung fresh infantry,
which started turning movement.
After the Germans had broken
through the defending lines and were
encircling the elevation the French
clung to their position, battling to
the bitter end, and overwhelming
forces of the enemy were able to gain
the crest only over the bodies of these
gallant DEFENDERS
While the French infantry drove
forward against KENNEL from the
west their British comrades begar
operations on their left. In the first
rush the sturdy British Tommie'
forced their way from in the face O.
a heavy fire and got into KENNEL vii
lage. 1t was striking exhibition o
bravery that took the men in KHAKI
across the open ground that was be
ing swept with machine gun fire.
For two hours they held the vii
lage while Germans from the neigh
boring hill poured bullets into th'
place from rapid hrers. At 5 o'clocl
it became apparent that it would b'
a useless sacrifice of life to remain
! longer and the British withdrew.

He excoriated the members OF the
opposition, known as the allied can

also impersonalities. He criticized
the exemption board work of Ed P.

would happen if three lawyers should
be elected on May 7. He went into
details in relating what he termed as

evoked considerable laughter when he

DeWey Loses Big Flag,

When members OF the draft
contingent that left Omaha yes
terday lined up before the court
house to have their picture
taken, someone remarked that
they should have an American
flag in the photo. Accordingly,
one of their number was dis
patched to the Office of County
Clerk Frank Dewey, to borrow
the big flag which hung in his
office window.
When all the ceremonies were
over, the soldier who borrowed
the flag started up the stone
steps to return the emblem, but
was halted by cries from his
comrades of Nothing Doing!
Let's take it with us!"
So the flag was passed to the
head of the column and the
drafted men started down the
street with Dewey's silk flag.
II don't care" declared Mr..
Dewey. "Let the boys have it.
My only desire is that they take
