Direct Descendent.
18th Generation,
From COnfucius

Paris, June 10-(Corresponden
kong Siang-Koo. direct descendant
in the seventy-fifth generation from
Confucius. and president Of the Pro-
vincial Council Of Shantung Province,
is among the well-known Chinese
who have recently arrived in Paris
to urge a reconsideration Of the con-
ference decision to turn Shantung
Province over to the Japanese.
Mr.. Kong speaks English and like
all the other members and attaches of
the Chinese delegation, wears mod
crn clothes.
He is most eloquent in his plea for
a restoration to China Immediately of
the historic province which Germany
wrested away from it by force.
China's sacred mountain, Tai-shan.
and the home of Confucius make this
province more sacred to Chinese than
any other portion Of the republic.
I'VE thought German imperialism
had been driven out Of China" Mr..
Kong said in a recent talk to news
paper men; but it has only been sup
planted by the imperialism of japan
which is even a greater menace to

Large Sum Unaccounted for.

Conferees are to be trusted by the
National House to decide whether
the appropriation of 100000 for the
L. S. Employment Service shall be
eliminated as an amendment to the
sundry civil bill. The Service" de-
manded something like S14,000,000
last year to carry out its schemes of
extravaganza and expansion but the
Democratic Congress expired with
out making provision for it's pattern
alistic lamb.
In went the knife and the amend
ment finally put across by the Senate
was for 100000 only. House mem
bers who were familiar. with the facts
determined that the whole thing
should be wiped out. Even Demo-
Gratis were disgusted with the show
ing made, with plentiful evidence Of
false claims Of service rendered, Of
unsupported pretense of finding jobs
for and placing returning soldiers,
and Of misleading representations
that had caused states to invest in a
riot Of extravaganza. Representa-
tive Blanton Of Texas, Democrat
called attention to the fact that this
service" had already had s1.772.000
unaccounted for.
House Leader Mondell said that
while there was great deal of
reckless extravaganza in the en-
ployment service. the Senate amend
ment ought to be agreed to. I'VE
can trust the conferees." he said
land they ought not to be instructed
on this point"
Representative Good of Iowa,
chairman of the appropriation COM
mittee in charge Of the bill. also
agreed that the employment service
has been recklessly extravagant.
