A foreigner. his head covered with
q waterproof cape, was creeping
along the Bladensburg road when a
pair Of watchful policemen on the
lookout for bootlecgers held him up.
Presumably he could not speak a
word OF English, and was taken 10
the Ninth Precinct police station for
examination. the officers failing 10
find any booze on his person. As
the stranger seemed to be without
both friends and money. a charge of
vagrancy was entered against him.

ROBERT HARDISON he was unable
to explain whether he was a Rus
sian. Pole. Frenchman. German or
Norwegian. OTTO HAUSCHILD,

moned to determine the mans ma

Then he tried a little French. with
the same result. Next Hauschild
opened a hoodgate of perfectly good
German, but the man again shook his
head.

Japan voluntarily engages to hand
back Shantung province in fun SOW
ereignty to China, retaining only the
economic privileges granted Germany
and the right to establish a settle-

The American delegation to the

the far eastern problem to be obtained
without risking a break similar to that
which resulted in the italian deIega-
ton leaving Paris. Confidence is felt
that the League of Nations, which will
have control over the future relations
between Japan and China, and which
will guarantee the future territorial
integrity and independence of China.
will be sufficiently strong to safeguard
Chinese interests and insure the re-
turn of all China's rights in the Shan
tung province.
President Wilson and Premiers Lloyd

AMERICAS WAR
Elk P E N S E S ARE
STILL GOING UP

washington, May 2-Nearly six
months after the signing of the arm
istfce, Americas war expenses are nor
only continuing without abatement. b,lt
actually are increasing over those of
the past few months. It was shown
today by a treasury report of govern
ment OUTLAWS for April, amounting IA
approximately s1,42e, 600, 900. Of which
about two thirds went to nav the
nations direct war bills and one-third
went to the allies to enable them to
pay obligations incurred in this couns
try heretofore for war materials and
food stuffs.
The gradual mounting of war ex-
penses from month to month foIlowiny
the big drop from around $4,000, 600. 900
month last December and January.
TO $1,lS9 100000 in February was cited
by treasury officials as a very sub
stantial reason why the Victory Lib
erty loan must be generously sub
scribed. The increase in the last two
months is attributed to the gradual
settling of manufacturers accounts bv
the war department and by the higher
demand of the allies for credits with
which to pay bills previously incurred
in this country
The tremendous OUTLAWS in April
raised the United States actual ex-
penditures since the . nation entered
the war a little more than two years
ago to about $30,500, 900. About
ss,o0o,oO0 of this has gone to the allies
and will be repaid eventually. With
out war the governments expenses
probably would not have been more
than s3,o0o0o0.000 in the two years.
