[Republioan A. p. Leased wire1

NEW YORK, May 7.-Resumption of business in the stock exchange to- day was signallized by another out burst of speculative enthusiasm which gathered momentum with the progress of the session, as a result of develop ments upon which trades placed a fla vorable interpretation.
 Chief among these were the an- nouncement of an early extra session of congress publication of a summary of the peace treaty, and signs of dis tinct improvement in several leading lines of industry, notably steel and copper.
 Rails as whole were the only im- portant issues which failed to share approximately in the advance, al- though investment transportations reg istered further substantial gains under leadership of Canadian Pacific and coalers.
 The sluggish course of United States Steel which fluctusted only fraction ally and closed at nominal loss, was the most striking because of the strength of independent steels and affiliated equipments, some of which were higher by two to five points.
 Oils and shippings eclipsed all other shares, however, followed by motors and their subsidiaries.
 Strength was shown by utility bonds the general bond list, including Liberty and international issues easing variably Total sales, par value, aggregated s16.S50, ,000.
 Old United States bonds were m- changed on change.

 "Gentlemen: The sublime thought to be derived from the most terrible dis aster iii the history of mankind is the league of nations. The greatest pro gress in the development of mankind has been pronounced and will make it's way Only if the gates of the league of nations are thrown open 70 all who are of good will, can the aim be attained and only then the dead of this war will not have died in vain.
 The German people in their hearts are ready to take upon themselves their heavy lot, if the basis of peace which have been established are not any more shaken.
 "rhe peace which need not be de- tended in the name of right before the world. always calls forth new resist 1 ance against it. Nobody will be ca pable of subscribing to it with good conscience, for it will not be possible of fulfillment. Nobody could be able to take upon himself the guarantee of its execution which ought to lie in it's | signature.
 We shall examine the document handed to us with good will, and in the hope that the final result of our interview may be subscribed to by all | of us"

JAPAN WANTED K|AO CHAU SO SRE COULD
 RETURN II ID CHINA
Republican A. p. Leased wirel

NEW YORK, May 6.-Prefacing an address before the Japanese society here tonight with the declaration that he was a private citizen and did not speak "in behalf of the Japanese gov ernment," Baron Shimpei Goto, former minister of Japan, characterized the Kiao Chau- Shantung situation as mot to be reviewed in the same light as the Plume question"
 Japan has never demanded perma nent occupation of Kiao Chau," he said.
 "She has repeatedly proclaimed to the world that she would return it to China after it was internationally giv- en to her at the peace conference.
 Tn the judgment of the Japanese government, it was necessary for Japan to establish an undisputed right over the German territory before she was in a position to restore it to China In returning Shantung to China, Japans policy has been influenced by the fear that the Chinese government may not be able to keep the prUvince-that it may be virtually mortgaged to third power to the detriment of China and Japan.
 In returning Kaio Chau to China. Germany will make it plain that she will never acquiesce in the cession of that territory to any third power, or in the arbitrary granting of concessions to foreign nations in the province of Shantung It trusts that satisfactory agreement will soon be made between China and Japan, with a view to pre- venting such an unfortunate develop ment-
 Japanese Opportunity
 "rrhe coming few years will furnish l Q, golden opportunity for me Japanese government and people to translate in to deeds their professed and, believe, sincere desire to be China's friends and well wishers. Japan should follow the | American example and waive her claim to the Boxer indemnity, and ask China to use the fund for the same purpose as the American fund has been used to facilitate the education of the youth of | China.
 'China must codify laws in conson- ance with modern principles of 1uris- prudence and organize courts efficient | enough to win the confidence of for 1 eigners. In this difficult undertaking, upon which China must soon embark, Japan would consider it a privilege to | be of some service to her. We wish to be the first nation to endorse China s desire to put an end to the inequitable though inevitable institution which has so long hurt not onfy the pride but the interests of China.
 May we not hope that sn the civ ilized nations, and especially tbe gov ernment and people of Aucrfcs- who

ENGLAND ID START
 A|RPLANE SERVICE
Fifteen Machines to Be Used on New Routes to Points
 on Continent
By Associated Press

London, March 3.-Just as soon as air
 craft regulations have been definitely arranged by the peace conference, all
 airplane passenger and freight service will be inaugurated between the princi-
 pal cities of England and the continent,
 it is announced It will be an experi- ment only insofar as the whims of the
 public are concerned, as the 15 machines
 to be used all saw more try ing service in night bombing work during the latter ! months of the war.
 There is no doubt in the minds of the promoters that the project will be pop- ular at first among those who enjoy ad- venture and are not hampered by lack of funds, but in making the announcement of the new service, F. Handley Page said that his company wanted to put the ser vice purely on a business basis and that charges would not be out of reach of the average merchant who might want goods transported quickly or make quick trips in Europe.
 Announcement of the plans was made simultaneously with the first public ex hibition of a passenger carrying airplane in London The plane is one of the night bombers with the fuselage equipped to accommodate F passengers. It saw
 service over German cities, but appeared
 much different on exhibition. Huge glass windows had been cut into the sides of
 the fuselage, showing the saloon fitted
 with heavily upholstered leather chairs lined on each side of the carriage with a narrow aisle between. Space is pro- vided for 16 passengers inside. The sev- enteenth one sits outside in the very
 bow of the machine in the seat for
 merly occupied by a gunner
 The machine has a lifting capacity of 61a tons, exclusive of it's own weight, is fitted with four motors, two tractors and two pushers, and travels at an average speed of 100 miles an hour.
 The company which will operate the service already has laid it, plans for getting business and for feeder ser vices tapping its main lines of travel E. J. Bray, formerly European traffic representative of the National Railway Of Mexico, has become traffic manager of the Handley Page Ltd, and is at work on purely the traffic end of the enterprise.
 Those interested in the project point out that as far as the machines are concerned this is not an experiment and maintain that it is the most ambitious plan yet conceived for commercial use of the airplane. No especial effort will be made to get great speed, but every ef- ford will be made, as the service in- creases to construct larger machines which will give passengers greater ease and freedom and will be capable of car rying several tons of freight

GEORGIA HAMlLlONs more pnOS- phate than is contained in modern foods. Physicians claim there Is noth- ing that will supply this deficiency so well as the organic phosphate known which is inexpensive and is sold by Letaw's Pharmacy in Birmingham ana most all druggists under a guarantee or satisfaction or money back. By feeding the nerves directly and by supplying the body cells with the necessary phosphoric food clements, bitro-phos- phate quickly produces welcome transformation in the appearance; the increase in weight frequently being as- tonishing.
 This increase in weight also carries with it a general improvement in the health. Nevertheless, sleeplessness and lack of energy. which nearly always accompany excessive thinness. soon disappear, dull eyes become bright and pale cheeks glow with the bloom of perfect health. Miss Georgia Hamilton, who was once thin and frail, reporting her own experience. writes: "Bitro- Phosphate has brought about a magic transformation with me. I gained IS pounds and never before felt so we'll"
 CAUTION: Although bitro-phos- phate is unsurpassed for relieving nervousness, sleeplessness and general weakness. it should not. owing to it's remarkable flesh-growing properties, be used by anyone who does not desire to put on flesh.-Adv.

London, March 27-ncredible though 1t seems, all the worlds shipbuilding experts overlooked a vital defect in the great dreadnought design of battle ships
 The weakness was discovered by Great Britain in the early part of the war, but it was then too late to alter all the battleships in the grand fleet, and Britain and America had to go through the war hoping that the over sight might not have results more fatal to us than to the enemy, since his
