The boundary lines of the new coun-
ty, as may be seen at glance, call
for sacrifices on the part of Birming-
ham that are beyond all reason and
justice. The Fairfield district belongs
of right to this city and no part of it
can justly be taken away for incorpor-
alton in another county. Furthermore,
Jefferson county, as it is today, has
been developed with no idea of a pos

The corporations which have made
the Birmingham district the foremost
manufacturing center of the south are
opposed to the projected county. The
merchants of Birmingham, various
civic associations and the rank and

of the measure which the legislature
will be asked to pass.
Commissioner Burruss, who favors
the plan now under discussion, takes
the position that Birmingham coun-

Japan's Rights
In Shantung Province

m HE action of the Senate foreign
y relations committee in striking
out the Shantung section of the peace
treaty is outrageous.
1t is not only unfair and unjust
to Japan. 1t would be almost casus
belli against Japan.
It would be an act bordering on Ger
many's treatment of Belgium.
When the world war was in prog
ress with Germany, Austria Hungary
and Turkey on the one hand; and Eng
land, France and Russia on the other,
Japan entered with the latter nations
and agreed to take care of the situa-
ton in the far east. Japan's navy took
the German naval base at Shantung
and captured and took over the Ger
man possessions in China In doing
this Japan by all rights of justice and
international law, being at war With
Germany, was entitled in the peace
treaty, to the full concessions she cap
tured from Germany, and the full con-
troll over the same which Germany ex-
ercised.
The allied nations in 1898 ad-
mitted Germany's rights in the Shan
tung province. The United States had
consented We made no protest. China
had accepted German occupation; ano
time and terms of her holdings were
fixed with the full knowledge and
consent of all the nations of the world
Japan, in the world war as one Of
