a strong and brave heart has been re-
leased from years Of suffering, made
more intense to her great desire to min
ster instead of being ministered onto.

care for the comfort of those whose lives
have been closely interviewer with hers.
Hers was one of those exquisite ma
lures which does not know when it was
sacrificed Not only was her life free
" given to her family, who also gave
her full measure OF unceasing care
and devotion.

WILL RESTORE SHANTUNC
At TINE UNST4TED
Japanese Premier Says the Restoration
Will Depend on China's Attitude
Kaio-Chau Will Also Be.
Returned.

Toxic, Tuesday, Aug. II by the As
sociated Pressl Restitution to China OF
those parts Of Shanting province, includ
ing Kiao-Chau, now occupied by the Jap
anese forces, will be made without un-
necessary delay but the time required
will be dependent upon the attitude OF
China, said Takashi Hara, japanese pre-
nier, to-day.
The premier, answering a querry OF
the Associated Press, made the following
statement.
MY colleague, Viscount Uchida, min.
lister of foreign affairs, issued a state.
ment on Aug. 2, in explanation of our
policy respecting the Shantung question
That statement represents the consid.
cred opinion of this government and
have little to add in dealing with the
same subject"
(Viscount Uchida in his statement re.
ferred TO by the premier, said Japan was
willing TO restore Shantung 10 China and
would enter into negotiations with the
Peking government as soon as possible
after the Versailles treaty had been rati-
fled by Japan
"The question Is often asked as Ia
when Japan viii return Kiao-Chau to
China. / would point out in reply that
for the restitution of Kiao- Chau, de.
tailed arrangements should be worked
out beforehand in common with the Jap.
anese and Chinese governments and that
the length of time required for such ar
ranegments depends largely upon the at.
titude of China. In any case, we fully
realize that will be much in our interests
as in the interests of China TO accelerate
the conclusion of all needed arrange
ments and without unnecessary delay
the restitution of territory which We
have solemnly undertaken"
Premier Hara and high officials of the
japanese government discussed frankly
with the correspondent what was called
the "waye OF anti-Iapanese feeling" in
America. They were plainly disturbed
by reliable reports received here showing
uneasiness as to Japan's attitude rela.
tive TO Shantung as one cause for the
sentiment of discomfort among the
friends of Japan but felt Japan's repeat.
ed assurances as to restitution, with the
premier's statement to the Associated
Press to-day, should clear the air and
prevent any deplorable misunderstood
ing.
1t is frankly admitted here that dap.
ans so-called militarism is responsible
for much uneasiness abroad but the
opinion is expressed that foreign critics
who call Japan the Germany of the far
East" neglect to take into consideration
the internal and historic reasons which
led the japanese people to venerate the
army and navy, including the historic
rolls played by the Choshu and Satsuma
clans, which are respectively behind the
army and navy, in the restoration OF the
imperial dynasty and in the wars with
China and Russia. Nevertheless the Jap.
anese insist there is distinct movement
TO curb any excessive influence held by
the militarists which might be harmful
to the legitimate development Of the ma.
tion and inimical to Japan's relations
with America

NO IMMEDIATE DEPARTURE.
Of Rumanian Troops from Budapest De
manded.

Paris, Aug. 10 tBy the Associated
Press The supreme council in its re-
sponse, drafted to-day, to the reply of
the Rumanian government to the note of
the council regarding the occupation of
Budapest, does not ask the Rumanans
to leave Budapest Immediately.
The council advises Rumanians that
the inter allied commission at Budapest,
will discuss most points with Rumanian
officials there.
The reply of the council, which prob
ably will be sent to Bucharest to-mor-
row, is looked upon as having been de-
signed to facilitate negotiations without
causing breach,
The Rumanian army arrived in Buda-
pest before the Bucharest government
had received the note from the supreme
council asking that the Rumanian troops
be not allowed to enter the Hungarian
capital, the Rumanian communication
said:
The Rumanian government added that
it still regards itself as an ally of the
entente and as member of the peace
conference. The Rumanian communica-
tion came from the foreign office at
Bucharest but did not bear the sigma
ture of Premier Bratiano 1t was looked
upon as concilatory in tone.
The Rumanan government contended
that the Rumanians in their confSsca-
tions in Hungary were merely getting
back their own property. 1t was insist
ed that the armistice of November, 1918,
no longer exists.
The supreme council in its reply said
it differed from many of the points
raised by Rumania, but that the inter
allied commission in Budapest would
discuss them.

Washington, d. c., Aug. Is

ready to stand for quick ratifica-
tion of the peace treaty with res
eryations, Democratic leaders in
the Senate were informed to-day

tions said poll disclosed that
upwards of 80 senators of their
party would support reservations
along the general lines laid down
by the seven Republicans, if the
treaty could be brought promptly
out of committee and ratified on
that basis.
Although Senator Hitchcock of
Nebraska, the administration lead
er, still diselaimed any part in the
negotiations for settlement, it
was apparent that the move had
reached proportions which might
threaten the plans of the commit
tee for calling additional wit
nesses and prolonging considera-
tion Of the treaty
Senator Hitchcock had an ap-
pointment to see President viii
son at the White House late to-
day and was expected to lay be-
fore him the whole Senate situa-
tion, especially as regards prompt
committee action. The administra
tion leader declined to say wheth-
er he would suggest a change in
the announced stand of the admin
istration against reservations.
