Toxic, May POLITICIANS and news
papers in Japan are still uneasy re-
garding the league of nations and its
effect upon this country.
Details of the Shantung settlement
were lacking. Nothing was announced
by the foreign Office. Newspapers call
the decision a momentous Japanese
victory Asahi Shumbun, however,
fears recognition of Japan's claim in
the Shantung peninsula will lead to
the necessity of Allied recognition of
similar claims of other nations, de-
stroying the mandatory rule principle.
Kokumin Shimbun, organ of the bu-
reaucratic element, still sees danger
ahead for Japan in the South sea

America at the Peace conference are

time, before the shipping of American
oil was properly organized, the armies
in France had on hand less than one
months supply, forcing the general
staff to make calculations of how they
must retreat in case of a breakdown
in the supply of gasoline. America,
however, came heroically to the res

PRICE OF WHEAT
TO REMAIN FIRM
Grain Director Says to Arbitrarily
Deduce Present Figures
Would Be Unsound.
SPEAKS IN MILL CITY
Julius n. Barnes Declares That in
View of World Food Shortage
Conditions It Would Be an
Error to Lower Prices.

Minneapolis, May Julius H.
Barnes, head of the United States
Grain corporation, in an address at
the West hotel before the Civic and
Commerce association, declared that
to arbitrarily reduce the resale price
of wheat to figure that would be
lower than that guaranteed the pro-
ducers by the government would be
an economically unsound policy at the
present time.
Admitting that the Grain corpora
ton must see to it that American
grown wheat must not be sold in for
eign countries at a lesser price than
the selling figure in the United States
Mr.. Barnes asserted that it is by no
means an easy task to determine what
the resale price of the government
bought grain should be. But in view
of the world food shortage conditions,
he said, it would be grievous error
to artificially lower the price now.
Mr.. Barnes spoke to an audience
consisting mainly of millers and grain
men of Minneapolis and Minnesota
Nearly 600 attended the dinner, $50 of
whom are identified with the grain
and milling trade in Minneapolis.
Sudden Price Decrease Unwise.
Referring in no uncertain terms to
the agitation in this country for low
wheat prices, the speaker did not hest
tate in letting it be known that the
propaganda for lower wheat prices
must be answered. The Grain cor
poration has the authority to drop
the price to any level, he explained,
but to do so would be unwise, he said,
because America is self-respecting
nation and could never descend to the
subsidy of the table"
Reviewing the world food situation,
particularly as regards wheat, Mr..
Barnes declared that the greatest DEM
onstration of team play is taking place
today in the formulation of a pro-
gram for the feeding of the world
program in the hands of Herbert
Hoover.
"Mr. Hoover" he said, began the
program last November, even before
the armistice was signed From the
President he secured the directions to
the army to construct food stores at
favorable points abroad with the in
structions to resell those foods when
needed by the relief organizations"

privileges granted Germany and

tion to the peace conference, in de-
claring its disappointment with the de-
cision of the Council of Three regard
ing Kiao-Chau in a statement said the
decision gives Japan practical control

The statement discloses that early
in 1917 Great Britain and France
agreed to support the Japanese claim
to German rights in Shantung at the
peace conference. 1t says that China
knew nothing of the agreements and
was not told of them even when she
Joined in the war in August, 1917. 1t
is declared that China's declaration
of war abrogated all treaties and
agreements with Germany, and that
German rights automatically revert
ed to- China.
Held Contrary to Principles.
The Chinese delegation asserts that
the reported action of the Council of
Three in transferring the German
rights to Japan is not in keeping with
the principles of peace laid down by
the Allied and associated powers. The
statement declares that it is intimated
that the decision of the Council of
Three granting Japan's claims was for
the purpose of saving the League of
Nations -
1t is further declared that Japan's
claims were based in part on the
treaty and notes made in 1915 with
China. The Chinese delegation says
that the documents of 1915 were sign
ed by China under threat of war.
The statement also draws a parallel
between the Shantung and Fiume
questions.

thin PEOPLE
SHOULD TAKE
PHOSPHATE
Nothing Like Plain Bitro-Phosphats
to Put or Firm, Healthy Flesh and
to Inc pease Strength, vigor
and Nerve Force.

Judging from the countless preparations
and treatments which are continually be-
ing advertised for the purpose of making
thin people fieshy, developing arms, neck
and bust, and replacing ugly hollows and
angles by the soft curved lines of health
and beauty, there are evidently thousands
of men and women who keenly feel their
excessive thinness.
Thinness and weakness are usually due
to starved nerves. Our bodies need more
phosphate than is contained in modern
foods. Physicians claim there is nothing
that will supply this deficiency so well as
the organic phosphate known among drug
gists as bitro-phoSphate, which is mex
pensive and is sold by most all druggists
under a guarantee of satisfaction or money
back BY feeding the nerves directly and
by supplying the body cells with the neces-
sary phosphoric food elements, bitro -phos-
phate quickly produces a welcome trans
formation in the appearance; the increase
in weight frequently being astonishing:
This increase in weight also carries with
it a general improvement in the healtn:
Nervousness, SleepleSsness and lack OF
energy, which nearly always accompany,
excessive thinness, soon disappear, dun
eyes become bright, and pale cheeks glow
with the bloom of perfect health.

GUARD IN BRILLIANT ARRAY
,venizelos at Peace Conference
J Were GorceousIy Uniformed.

Kings, presidents and premiers
ceased to be novelty at the peace
conference, but the bodyguard of Pre-
mier Venizelos of Greece never failed
to attract great crowds. At the hotel
where the American delegation was
housed and at the foreign office, Ven-
izelos' approach was always heralded
by the arrival Of one of his Cretan
soldiers arrayed more brilliantly than
comic-Opera bandit.
The CretanS who escorted the Greek
statesman were all more than six feet
from various organizations, as diff
ferent man appeared daily, and the
same uniform was never seen twice.
The swarthy Cretans all had small
waXed mustaches twisted into up
turned points and stood rigidly at at,
tention for hours while awaiting NJ
VenizelOs at the entrance to the hotel
or the foreign office. The jibes of
small boys and the jokes of various
allied soldiers who gathered in won
derment never seemed to disturb the
imperturbable Cretans.
Perhaps the most startling uniform
worn by one of the guards consisted
Of white tights bound by taSseled
black silk cords at the knees, red
velvet blouse and sash, a red fez sur
mounted by black silk tassel so long
that it fell below the waist, and black
sandals with upturned toes topped by
great black silk pOmpons. This cos
tune was completed by an ivOry-han-
died knife two feet long thrust care
lessly into the sash.
The knives and swords worn by the
Cretans were the chief feature Of the
uniforms and made collectors of an
tiQue weapons very enviOus. They
were of all sizes and shapes and had
sheaths of great 'splendor, jeweled and
carved in marvellous manner.
Some of the guards were bare-kneed
and had costumes not unlike the
Scotch in style, but much gaudier in
color Others wore marvelously dec
Grated leggings reaching far above
the knees. CapeS of Oriental hueS
were frequently worn by the Cretans
and added to the brilliancy of the
Greek uniforms, which made the fancy
dress uniforms of the French and
English look sOmber.

e. ness Conditions.

Washington, May I'm discus
sion of recent railroad earnings, Direc
tor General Hines disclosed that:
The governments deficit in operat-
ing the railroads for the first three
months this year, or the difference be-
tween net earning and one-fourth of
the guaranteed annual compensation,
was about $192,OO0,00O for all roads
under federal management
The governments loss of 1918 was
$226,000,00O. &c.
The government loss incurred in Is
months of federal operation was $41S,-
100000.
Freight Fall Of Blamed.
Marked reduction of freign traffic
under records of similar periods of the
last two years were responsible for
the bad financial showing, and condi-
tons in April, though not yet reported
fully, show no promise of improve
ment
Despite the deficits, the Director
General does not contemplate any gen.
eral increase in the level of rates, but
prefers to wait restoration of normal
business conditions.
The government also incurred a de-
ficit of about s14,540,O00 in eight
months operation of the American
Railway Express company and Con-
solidated Express corporation up to
March l, 1919.
''No Basis for Revise Now"
THE present unfavorable results
naturally lead to agitation of the
question whether there ought to be an
increase of rates." said Mr. Hines.
My own judgment is that the pres
ent conditions are too abnormal to
serve as basis for any change in the
level of rates and that it is preferable
to defer action on that subject until
there shall have been a fuller oppor-
tunity to get more reliable and pos
sibly more normal measure of the
conditions, meanwhile resorting to
every practicable economy, studying
the situation with the greatest care,
and keeping the public fully informed
as to developments"
