The most d%renching rains of the
season occurred early this morning
and this afternoon. The soil Is so
thoroughly soaked that the growing
crops have sufficient moisture to see
them through for a long period
ahead. All small grains. gardens and
especially potatoes are doing well
and growing rapidly. but the inces-

to the corn, which has reached the

J. F. Brooks and Mr.. Harbold, of
Pierson, Ia, have been in this vicin-

chases. While here they took over
the Bennett farm, located two miles
north and a half mile west of this
city. There is no getting around the
fact that land in this section is an
attractive proposition for outside
buyers and sellers and not until its
value rises to the point reached by
Iowa soil will it fail to attract atten-

DIVISION TO
F. GO TORRANCE
Men Now Stationed in Lux
ernburg Ordered to Move
In Short Time.

Coblenz, April .7.-(By the Associ-
ated Press. 1.-THE Thirty third di-
vision of the American army, consist
ing principally of Illinois national
guardsmen, who are holding part of
Luxembourg under the Third army,
has been ordered to begin prepar-
ations for returning to France, ac-
cording to general headquarters
dispatch. 1t is expected that the
Thirty-third division will require
about two weeks in order to be ready
for entrainment. No details were
given in the dispatch regarding the
date for the divisions sailing.
According to present plans, the
Thirty-second division of Wisconsin
and Michigan guardsmen, who now
are holding a part Of. the Coblenz
bridgehead, will begin leaving the
Rhine April 16, five days after the
last unit of the Rainbow division de-
parts from the occupied area 1t is
expected that the entire Thirty second

after.

URGES
MULTIPLICATION
OF JAP DEMANDS
Peking Statement Says the
Treaties of 1915 Are
Against Nations League

Paris, Saturday, April 5.-(By the
Associated Press of
the twenty-one demands made by
Japan in 1915 is urged by the Chi
nese government in statement
cabled from Peking and received by
the Japanese peace delegation today.
The Peking statement declares the
Japanese treaties and terms forced
upon China in 1915 should be abro-
gated because their terms are in
compatible with the principles upon
founded" The statement is largely a
reply to recent statement made by
Baron Maxine of the Japanese dele
cation on the position of Japan.
"Since the Japanese delegate in
Paris" the Chinese statement says,
"has referred to the twenty-one de-
mands. 1t is incumbent upon the
Chinese government to draw attention
to the fact that China's acquiescence
to terms subsersive of her own inter-
ests were secured by means of an ul-
surrender because of the pre-occupa-
ton of the rest of the world in the
European war.
I'm a subsequent agreement se-
cured by Japan under the former
cabinet the principles followed have
been equally dangerous, not only to
China's liberty of action, but to her
very independence"
The statement says the claim of
Japan to special privileges because
the Japanese expelled the Germans
from Shantung contrasts with the
failure of the Americans to claim the
railways and mines of France, al
though the Germans were expelled
from Alsace and Lorraine by the CO.
operation of the American army.

Throwing OF Stone. Through
Window. Starts Trouble
Policemen Attacked Next;
Twenty-Three Arrests Are
Made; Women And Chill
dren On Picket Line.

Lawrence, Mass, April 7.-Rioting
marked by promiscuous shooting by
strike sympathizers and police opened
the tenth week of the textile strike
here today. The outbreak occurred
near the Everett Mills a few hours
after the city had been stirred by
the explosion of bomb in a tenement
house in the same neighborhood
The rioting began when strike SYM
pathizers began throwing stones at
mill windows and then shifted their
attack to policemen. When the po-
lice found their clubs ineffective they
drew pistols and their shots were an
swered by others from the crowd. Men
and women also appeared at windows
with missiles.
The bomb explosion occurred before
daylight in a house on Newberrv
street. The property damage was
small.
Twenty-three arrests were made.
Women and children were active on
the picket lines during the morning.
1t had been announced last night
that the children of strikers would
be kept from schools today because
of alleged anti-strike activities by
eeachers. This morning many wom-
en- appeared as pickets accompanied
by two and three children.
One striker arrested for alleged
rioting had $1.3O3 in cash and 500
Liberty bond in his pockets.

Paris, April THE preliminary

and the Germans will be asked to sign
it at the end Of April or early in May.
Premier Lloyd George of Great Brit
ain declared in an interview yester-
day with Stephane Lauzanne, editor
of The Matin.
In answer to a remark by NJ Lauz-
anne that what troubled public opin-
ion was not SO much the delay, as
the secrecy which the peace negotia-
tions were wrapped and the British
premier said:

en- confronted with technical difficult
ties which can only be settled after
close study. Take the question Of
reparations. In substance the Allies
have one common principle. which I
once set forth thus: Germany must
pay up the last farthing of her power
bill and hand 1t to the enemy? Must
we not require guarantees and must
we not study the terms methods and
forms of delayed payments? Must we
