SHANTUNG FOR JAPAN
OR GERMANY IS AIDED
Spacious Plea Of President Made In
Order to Put Through Concession
Fathered by Him.

Washington, September 4.-Having
admitted to the Senate Foreign Rela-
tions Committee that he could not have
gained the assent Of Japan to the
league of nations covenant If he had
not yielded to its demand that Shant-
ung be given to 1t, the President is
now making every effort to force the
Senate to accept the terms as a part
of the treaty he negotiated at YER
sailles.
This the Republicans in the Senate
are determined shall not occur, and 1t
is possible that the issue may outlast
the fight over the document itself and
be taken into the Presidential cam
paign. BY vote of nine to eight the
committee voted to restore the great
and prosperous province. containing
forty millions of souls, to China in
stead of Japan. Germany had taken 1t
by force. Later John Hay, as secre-
tary Of state. agreed with China to
maintain the "open door" and to pro-
tect her territorial integrity So did
the European powers. The committee
takes the view that that agreement
should be carried out, and that China
should be protected against the ag-
gression of the Japanese, known as
the Prussians of the Far East, in order
that democracy instead Of autocracy
may In the future thrive in Asia and
that therefore the interests of the
United States may not be menaced on
the Pacific ocean.
The President made a surried trip
to the office Of Senator Swason, Of
Virginia to impress it upon him that
the refusal of this country to ratify
the Shantung provision in the treaty
would be in the interests of Germany,
as this would mean a longer delay in
the actual Senators deride this rea-
soning as specious and beside the
mark. They declare that the peace
has already been made with Germany
except in very technical sense, and
that German propaganda" talk is sill
ly. They resent the Shantung pro-
vision as a violation of the Republic of
China and as a weak and ionexcusable
surrender to that power which means
to dominate Asia with an iron hand.
They therefore let it be known that
they will amend the treaty to this ex-
tent, If no other and that the onus
will not be upon them for so reject
ing it but upon the President for hav-
ing made a nefarious deal which needs
to be stricken out Of the treaty on
moral grounds. Senator Lodge and
his Republican colleagues on the For
eign Relations Committee, explain
that they have no intention Of de-
feating anything in the treaty other
than that which is palpably wrong
and imperils American rights.

1t is suspected in Washington that
President Wilson and Premier Lloyd
George failed to include Mexico in the
league of nations in order that the
United States might at the proper
moment enter and clean up the coun-
try. 1t would not have done to dis
cuss self determination and the rights
of small peoples in one breath and
then let the world know In the next
that this principle applied to other
peoples but not those near at home. 1t
Is possible that the proper moment
may come when 1t Is to the best in
terests of the Democratic party In the
next campaign. Just now 1t might
seem inconsistent to fight Mexico
while Democratic Senators are giving
voice to the Idea that the league OF ma
lions is to stop all bloodshed for all
time.

WANTED TO SEE THAT PIG
for the Thirsty Fasteners Of
q Century Ago.

The present prohibition law Is much
moyt stringent than was the dry law
Of Massachusetts Of 100 years ago.
when the STRIPED Pig" gained its
fane. At that time the law read that
LIQUOR could not be secured. save In
lhgaliou lots. That gave the pig"
its chance.
Ar enterprising resident atteuaed
the military muster on the Readville
fair grounds, and established side
show. A banner before the tent
daunted the likeness of a red ant black
pig which, sign said, could be seen
for four pence. Many men went In
to see the strange animal. and returned
nany times. As the law did not pro-
hto't the exhibitor from giving away
hquor he gave each patron generous
glass of the forbidden drink from a
huge stock he had laid In. The Striped
Pig" became famous over night. Songs
weSc written about the animal, bev-
srIge was nniued after II, and bur-
tesauc pIay In New York adopted the

Dinner and evening gowns, perhaps
as the result of reaction after the
restraint of war times. have swung to
the other extreme and are as elabo-
rate as ingenuity can make them, and
rich beyond anything that has gone
before for many year. Cloth Of
gold and silver. satins with gold or
silver figures scattered over their sur
faces. brocades. rich embrOideries
studded with Jewels. laces and nets
that are a mass of twinkling sequins,
fringes Of all kinds, and always more
gold and silver cloth, entice those who
are looking for regal things to choose
from. Metallic threads are woven In
with silk In all the lovely evening
shades SO that rose and silver, tur-
QuOise and gold, nile green and silver
make wonderful shimmering cloths.
Wherever fashionables foregather there
will be much glittering this winter.
And these rich fabrics are not mo-
nopolized by the full-hedged women Of
society. The younger set Is allowed
them as the foundation for frocks,
usually yelled with tulle. Artificial
flowers deck out pretty dance frocks

colors are used on tulle to match In
