Sherman Still Knocking
Settlement; Sees Future
Asiatic Kaiser i'm MicadO

WASHINGTON, July 17.-The peace
treaty makes Japan so strong that the
Mikado will in time become the ''Asi-
attic kaiser" challenging the whole
world. Senator Sherman said in a
speech attacking the treaty.
He denounced the peace conference
action in giving shantung to Japan as
the Hsnperiative ti.eachrty 81 I. ~. -
times" He warned that Japan will
gradually absorb China and menace
the world.
He predicted in that day the United
States will be forced to appeal to the
Chinese for aid.
'The United States either has been
overreached by more capable diplom-
ats or victimized by those recreant in
duty. China was first of the neutral
nations to respond to the presidents
call against Germany.
"Perfidity of China's mistreatment
SO taints and poisons the professed al
truism with which the league was her
aided as to crown it with superlative
treachery."

FORD SAYS UNIVERSAL
FLAG WAS ONLY MYTH

MOUNT CLEMENS, Mich, July II.
Henry Ford's International flag was a
myth. Ford claimed when he was re-
called TO the stand today in his mil
lion dollar libel suit against the Chi
cago Tribune. Ford was quizzed
sharply on alleged remarks concerns
ing his universal flag, patriotism and
the American flag.
Ford said he could not remember
remarking that he would pull down
the American flag after the war and
never raise it again. or that he was
designing a new flag. He said he
never saw but one design OF the uni
versal flag and that was a small one.
Attorney Stevenson for the Tribune
went deeply into an interview between
Ford and John Reed. magazine writer.
