SHANTUNG AGREEMENT

Today the committee heard its first
direct account of the Shantung negotia-
tons from Thomas II. Willard, an Amer
lean writer who acted as adviser to
the Chinese peace delegation. He said
the settlement was reached after the
Japanese virtually had threatened to
bolt the conference, but he added that
President Wilson seemed to be alone
in considering the threat more than q
pure bluff"
All the American experts ON Far
Eastern affairs ait Versailles, MIR.
Willard declared. agreed that the
settlement meant war. He had
heard that "A similar view Nas ex-
pressed In the letter from General
Bliss TO the President. which the
latter has declined 10 send to the
senate as n matter of public policy.
The United states, the witness as
serted, could not avoid being drawn
Int. such war.
Mr. Willard gave it as his personal
view. based on 20 years experience with
Far Eastern politics. that Japan never
would leave Shantung until she was con
fronted with a "a superior force ASK
ed whether he meant a superior moral
force imposed BY the league of nations

no signs of change. hut there was an
other outburst of DEBATE during which
Senator Borah, republican, Ohio, de-
clared that news of Unrest abroad was
being suppressed by British and Frenct
news agencies while the Senate is be
ing whipped to ratifg the treaty before
the facts are known.
MANY QUESTIONS TO ASK
The large number OF questions senators
want to ask the president made 1t ap-
pear doubtful to some committee MEM
bers whether the White House confer
ence tomorrow could re concluded at one
setting The president Is to meet the
committee at 10 a. III. in the Blue room

be Interrupted until = later date IL the
committee still has questions It desires
to ask.

than the presidents Interpretation OF

have indicated that they are anxious 70

ID. but desire to shane their opinions on
their own Interpretation of the treaty
as it stands.
Members said that as a matter OF
course there would be no effort TO cross
question the president but it was as
sumed some sharp exchanges might de-
velop from the discussions. In the COM
mittee membership are included some
of the bitterest opponents OF the treaty
in its present form. including Chairman
Lodge, Senator Borar. Senator Johnson
republican, California and Senator Fall
republican, New Mexico.
1t appeared certain tonight that. the
force of expert sterographers provided
for the conference would be large enough
to permit very short relays so that the~
transcript could be delivered to the press
without delay.

Representative Siegel, republican. New

were obtained by New York clothing

AMERICA BLAMED

FOR DELAYS IN
TURKISH PEACE
Three Important Decisions
of Government Disclosed
by Prime Minister in
Long Speech in the
House of Commons

London, August 18.-In a
three-hour speech in the House
of Commons, in which he dealt
with Great Britain's domestic
affairs generally, David Lloyd
George, the British prime min
lister today disclosed three i'm
portant decisions of the govern
ment. Two of these had been
widely discussed, and the gov
ernment's purpose with regard
to them was anxiously awaited.
One Of the. decisions was that the
postwar plan of ultra protection, under
which imports were limited to those
granted special licenses by the board
of trade will be abandoned September
l, and the putting into effect of meas
ures to prevent "dumping.'
The second decision was the rejection
of the majority report of Justice San
keys coal commission. which provided
for the gradual naturalization OF coal
mines and in it's stead launching plan
for partial government control, by
which the government will buy out the
owners of coal lands who receive royal
ties from mining companies, give min
ers a share in the control of the mines.
organize the mines into districts and
establish a fund for improving the
living conditions of miners
Under the third decision the govern
ment will embody in bill recommen
dations for a joint industrial council
of employers and employees and 49,
hour week and a living wage applying
10 all industries.

Demand for Rabbit Skins.

In recent years several kinds of
fur, formerly Of so little value as to
offer no inducement to the trapper,
have been raised in price, and conse-
auertly collecting them has been
made profitable. Rabbit pelts, which
are extensively used by hat makers
are among these products. One east
ern concern has announced that it
will need 1O,OOO,000 rabbit skins dur
ing 1919 and 1920, and it desires as
far as possible to secure them from
American sources. This is an indica-
tion of market which should inter
est many a farmer boy. This fall and
winter dried, cased rabbit skins will
probably bring reasonably good re-
turn. They are sold by the pound
which will contain seven or eight
skins. Many farm boys can readily
acquire, in the course of the winter
large numbers of skins which will net
them tidy sum and, in addition, they
will have the pleasure of trapping
experience. The United States De-

How Our Milk is Used.
Estimates made by the United
States Department of Agriculture
show how the 87,905, 100000 pounds
of milk produced in the United States
annually are utilized. Forty-four and
one-half per cent is used as fresh
milk for human food purposes, while
SO per cent of the gross supply isl

/ is made into cheese; another 4.5 per

WHAT THE DEPARTMENT OF
AGRICULTURE IS DOING
A Point of Vital Contact.

One of the points of vital contact
between the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture and the State ag
ricuitural colleges and experiment
stations-thc chief means, perhaps,
by which experiment station work,
extension work, and the like are
coordinated and kept fairly uniform
throughout the country-is the Asso-
citation of America Agricultural Col
leges and Experiment Stations, which
will hold it's thirty-third annual con-
yention in Chicago November II to
Id. At the same time number of
subsidiary and related organizations
viii hold their annual meetings. Among
them are the Country Life Confer
encc, American Association Of Far
mers' Institute Workers, the Confer
ence Of Farm Management Demonstra
tors, and of the State leaders of coun-
ty agents for the North and West,
The Association for the Advancement
of Agricultural Teaching, the Society
for the Promotion of Agricultural
Science, the Society of Agronomy,
and the Farm Management Associa-
tion.
Some of these organizations have
been fostered by the Department of
Agriculture and the agricultural col
leges. Others are independent organ
izations with related interests. In
practically all of them, officials of the
Department of Agriculture are inter-
ested. A :.umber Of department men
will be in attendance, and, through the
various meetings, will feel the will
and the wishes Of the people at the
same time that they pass their own
thoughts along to workers in various
lines throughout the country.
