JAP PAN HURR|ES
 TO OREASSURE IN SHANTUNC PUNT

WASHINGTON, July 4. - Katsui Debuchi, Japanese charge daffaires. visited the State Department today and discussed with various officials the Shantung settlement provision of the peace treaty. In this connection it was learned the Japanese govern ment had been advised fully of the strength of sentiment developed in the Senate favoring the restora4ion of Shantung to China, and also that the government was aware of the under standing conveyed in yesterdays white house statement that it speedily would clarify the situation by some declara- tfon of its purpose regarding Shan tung.
 While so far as known the Japanese government has not authorized any statement on the Shantung question, it is suggested by officials that the req son. might be found in Article 15S, Sec tion VIII of the peace treaty This ar ticle requires Germany to hand over to Japan within three months of the com ing into force of the treaty the ar chives, registers. plans. title deeds and documents of every kind relating to the territory of Kiao Chau. including all of the treaties bearing on the subject IL IS Sdlu lildi uHti llltSb are ildu lIle Japanese government itself is not able to make any pledges of relinquishment because it does not exactly know the extent of it's own holdings in Kiao Chau and Shantung. nor, unless Ger many should anticipate the treaty pro- visions on this point will Japan be in position to transfer title not only be- fore the final ratification of the peace treaty, but for three months thereafter.
 Parliamentary rules are not required in this treaty in Japan, but it is said nevertheless there are some mechanical and routine differences to be sur mounted that will necessarily consume much time-probably several weeks before the document can be ratified. In the first place it is pointed out that the treaty has barely reached Japan. at least 20 days being required to make the trip from Paris to Tokio. Translation into Japanese the nex, step, is said to be a most formida ble undertaking and would require several weeks at least. Once translated the document, it is explained, will be placed in the hands of the Japanese cabinet. which must consider it carefully and submit it with comment and endorse ment to the emperor. The latter will turn it over to his privy council, wno again must give the document intensive study, and also make critical analysis upon returning it to the emperor. This however, is the last phase and if the emperor is satisfied with the work of his advisers he may conclude the treaty immediately by affixing his sig nature.
 It has been learned that at present no disposition has been shown in Japan to amend the treaty in any respect But in Japanese circles here it is as- serted that either the French chamber CTS or the American Senate make any l reservations or changes substantially affecting the principles upon which the treaty is drawn, the Japanese govern = ment might attempt also to make res ervations, including possibly provisions of racial discrimination and other ideas which the Japanese peace commission CTS broached at Paris

 Ut should be remembered that Lieut.. Smith had some bad characters to deal with said Brig. Gen. Tuthill. "The draft caught all kinds of men, from good citizens to the criminal class.

COW . ardice in the face of the enemy, and a few for murder.
 As president of a general court mar tial for about a month during Novem-

AHEAD OF THE CORONER

Louie Ensign Wells was farmer at
Union, Conn. He was good farmer,
and on Sunday morning. July goth,
was living happily with large FAM
lily, in good health and every promise
of long life ahead of him. A few
hours later, neighbor with a discr-
dered mind, shot him dead with q
rife.
Before moving to Union, Brother
Wells had lived at Palmer, and like
every other good man who ever lived
in Palmer more than three months,
had been invited to join Quaboag
Council. The rest of the story is told
in a letter from Past Supreme Repre-
sentative Ernest E. Hobson, as fol-
lows -
"On Monday morning, July 2fst,
our Council was notified that Brother
Louis Ensign Wells, living in Union,
Conn, had been murdered late the
day before. Our Council held a spe-
cial meeting, appointed committee
of investigation, of which l was a
member, and we went by auto to
Brother Wells home in Union, Conn,
and arrived there on the scene before
the coroner had come for the inquest.
The latter, the Hon. Michael d. o.
Cornell, of Stafford Springs, Conn,
expressed his surprise to find repre-
sentatives of fraternal organization
on the ground making investigation
before the authorities of the State had
arrived, and said that in his judgment
it spoke very highly of the manner
in which the Royal Arcanum did its
work"
After all said and done, there is no
asset better than membership in live
Council of the Royal Arcanum. In
life, it means lot of pleasure. In
death, it means brotherly help on the
shortest possible notice.

SOUVENIR TAYLOR SHOT BY
CAMERA MAN
The Result Appeared In Pavement
Portraits In Hartford Times

The Hartford Times runs a column
of Pavement Portraits" In the
column appear from time to time snap
shots taken on the busy street of
well known citizens. In recent is
sue appeared full sized portrait Of
William Harrison Souvenir" Taylor
as he was swinging along in his quick
lively stride. Underneath the cut
was the following regarding the sub
ject:
To some he is known as Billy
Taylor but to the great majority Of
people he is Souvenir" At fore
gathering of the members of the bald
headed club he is known by no other
name than that Of Souvenir" and
if he answered to any other at le-
gislative reunion the reunionist would
think he was a stranger. 1t will
hardly be denied that he has earned
the right to be called Souvenir.
Nanki-Pooh, the wandering minstrel
in the opera "Mikado" had a song
for every emotion and for every senti-
ment. Mr.. Taylor has a souvenior
for every occasion. He does not
allow his large circle Of acquaintance
to forget that the birthday of Abra-
ham Lincoln is observed on February
IL and later in the same month pa
triotic souvenir brings to their mind
the birthday Of the Father Of his
country, to be followed few weeks
later in March by something which
will enable them to keep their mem
DRY green.
1t would be difficult to imagine a
session of the legislature complete
without Souvenir" Taylor. In years
past he served the state as duly
elected member Of the house and he
continues to serve successive legisla-
lures as an unofficial member, in the
exercise Of his prerogative to add to
the enjoyment Of legislating. Not
even when the democrats, at the ses.
sion Of 1913, were in control Of the
senate and when the lower house was
