INDICT JAPAN'S
 CHINA POLICY

Tokio, May 29.-(Correspondence of The Associated Press) - Several political groups in the House of Peers Governments foreign policies, es- peclally toward China. As summar- ized in the J1Ji, the Peers expressed the opinion that the race question is un1mportant compared to the Chinese question, and that the real injury which Japan suffered at Paris was the disclosure of Chinese antagonism.
 The Peers expressed the view that true friendship between Japan and China should be cultivated. China should be helped in the laying of a foundation for a stable administra- tion. They voiced the fear that Japan is fast losing her position in China and that America is replacing Japan.
 The JiJi summarized the Peers view on the Russian question as fol- lows: What about our policy towards Siberia? Americas plans are fast being carried out and as a result of Americas success in Si- beria it is possible that the peace of the Orient will be destroyed. But there is no one among the govern ment authorities here who can clear ly answer the question what shall be done with Siberia
 As far as Korea Is concerned the Peers said that the government should establish a permanent policy of befriending the Koreans so as to give them ease of mind and content ment.

PLAN TO FLOOD MARKET WITH
 GERMAN GOODS

Milan. Tuesday, May 27.-Immense quantities of German products are stored in warehouses at Chiasso, on the frontier between Italy and Swift zerland and Germany plans to renew immediately her commercial rela- tions with Italy, according to Ulysses Bywater, of the Chamber of Com rnerce of the United States
 There are thousands of bicycles of German manufacture at Chiasso ready to flood the market" MT. By water told The Associated Press to- day. There are also carloads of chemicals and dyestus which have aI- ready been offered Italian merchants at extremely low prices. The high rate of American exchange makes Italian trading with Americans mos. difficult, while the German market is at it's lowest ebb. This makes the price, when translated into fires, most attractive. The dollar exchange costs the Italians three times as much as the mark exchange. Naturally the prices of German goods in fires are very low There is a sure American market here but the monetary situa- tion is very hard and will be solved only by another American loan or by the payment of a large war indem- nifty to Italy,

 American troops are apparently to be imm ediately withdrawn from northern Russia, transports having arrived at Archangel with British forces which will relieve the men who have been holding the lines during the last winter.

ALLIED DOCTORS
 FIGHT TYPHAS

Kavalla, Macedonia, April 5. (B9 Mail "A desperate fight is now be- ing waged by Greek, British, Ameri- can Red Cross and United States army physicians to confine the out break of typhus raging in Macedonia to its breeding ground and to pre- vent its spread to Europe and Amer ica. An expedition of American doc tors and nurses has been rushed to Macedonia to combat the disease.
 Red Cross workers in Macedonia are fighting conditions of a most dis couraging nature. The Struema val ley is low, swampy and malarial. Here thousands of British ard Allied sol diers died of disease during the war. The road from Kavalla to Drama and from Drama to Serres is a mo- rass of fathomless mud.
 An American army doctor who has waded through Flanders writes:
 Today we carry our supplies of medicines and food to distant vil- lages through roads several feet deep in mud. Rains are frequent and heavy and the fogs penetrate our bones Red Cross women riding the mountain trails, swimming their horses across rives, plodding through mud, braving typhus at every turn are carrying on their work with the spirit of the pioneer women of our own America.
 ''The filth and stench of the so- called cities, heaps of ruins after six years of war, are beyond description. The main street in Pravi and the highway from the railway station in Drama to the public square surpass in offensiveness anything I have ever seen.
 There is no wood for heating here and no stoves. The Bulgars have swept the country absolutely bare. Only the bare, walls of the buildings in hundred villages remain. All water must be boiled"
 The typhus dead are removed form the tobacco warehouses at Kavalla in groups each day.

ADDITIONAL TRAVEL PAY.

By an Act, of Congress approved February 2S, 1919, An enlisted man honorably discharged from the Army, Navy or Marine Corps since November eleventh nineteen hundred and eighteen, or who may here after be honorably discharged, shall receive five cents per mile from the place of his discharge to his actual bona fide home or residence, or or igina1 muster into the service, at his option: Provided, That for sea travel on discharge, transportation and sub- sistence only shall be furnished to enlisted men,"
 This act has been construed in part as follows: Tt is therefore conclud- ed that upon discharge, an enlisted man should be paid five cents a mile from place of discharge to place of original muster into the service and if the place claimed to be that of his actual bona fhe home or residence is at a greater distance, he can pre- sent claim for the difference be- tween that amount and the amount paid him on discharge
 Those entitled to the extra pay mentioned above, can secure the necessary application and affidavit blanks at the Y. M. c. A. Ask for the Secretary for Soldiers, Sailors and Marines who is giving his full time. including evenings. to serving enlisted and discharged men.

 STATE FEDERATION

CONDITIONS IN
 KOREA BAD

Peking. May 29-(Correspondenc of The Associated Press)-Conditions in Korea resulting from the inde- pendence movement there where the Koreans are endeavoring to shake off the rule of Japan are becoming worse according to Rev. Edward w. Thwing, Oriental secretary of the In- ternatio Reform Bureau, who has just returned from Korea
 The Koreans began the independ- ence movement with the intention of using only peaceful methods" Rev MT. Thwing told The Associated Press correspondent, but the Japanese sol diers have so treated them and stirred them up that they are now wild and reckless. No one can tell what will come next. Seeds of hate and fu- ture trouble are being widely sown. Christians often suffer most have visited several places in Korea dur ing the uprising and everywhere it is the same kind of cruel, military law leSsness. One Korean Christian pastor said: We cannot stand it They beat us like pigs and cattle; and we are men,
 The Japanese are always trying
 
 spiracies," continued MT. Thwing They even claim to believe that the missionaries started the revolution They try to get Korean spies to go into the houses of foreigners. They search the houses of American mis- sfonaries, looking for no one knows what In town that I recently visited, we were shadowed by a Ko- rean who was described to me by a missionary as the cleverest spy in town
 The Koreans hate these men. Of course, being spies, they have to bring information and when they can find none they often manufacture it. Many have been arrested who had no connection with the affair and have been cruelty beaten. At the police station they often beat the men be- fore any trial on the general principle that it is a good thing for every Ko- rean to taste the power of Japan"

One hot day q certain lady sent her maid out to do some shopping, telling her to bring everything fresh.
 Now, Mary" she said. when you get some French beans break one of them to see if they are fresh. and when you get the tripe pinch it."
 Mary looked indignant, and said
 Sure ma'am I wasn't brought up that way, and if you want anything pinched you'n have to do it your self.

sine! chauffeur had be provided who the we'll
known Colgate livery
And when all this was done-after Alma had attained
the proper degree of confidence that enabled her to
ceive packages Ostensiby bought by Mrs Cogateafer
the pseudo Mrs Colgate letterperfect in her part
after all the necessary gowns had been copied all the
shoes the iewelry and FORTH too-after the pseudo
limousine was perfect down its smallest appointments
and the chauffeur thoroughly tranethen the raid was
made
Entered into this amazing swndle the element of
time Necessarily the ordering would have be done in
the fewest number of days 1t easy for Alma
tain her mistress movements each day. When Mrs. Col
gate was giving lawnfeteaS the when the fur
coat was bough-there was no probability of her going
to any store marked out by the organization for that days
operations As for any accident occurring which would
unexpectedly upset the daily programme furnished by
Alma-we after ALL some chances had to be taken! And
if this had occurred there is little doubt that aterna
tive plan for coping with such a situation had been
prepared
And if such an accident had happened and if Mrs.
Colgate had by any chance at certain minute of
tain hour that afternoon stroed down Fifth and
paused in front of certain store she would have
coming from it a who absolutely herself not
only in her appearance but In her walk and little
nerisms And she would have that disconcerting
double enter what to all ntents and purposes in out
ward seeming her own limOusne-and followed by her
parlor maid!
But after the pseudo Mrs Colgate had ordered the
goods at the store had taken many Of them
away in her limousine there still remained others which
she ordered sent to the Colgate house How these
goods received Without knowledge of Mrs Colgate
disposed of without arOusng the suspicion of Almas
fellow ServantSi
And if before this whirlwind swindng operation
completed one of the stores should make any inquiry
about such delivered goods how could their disappearance
be explained
Here enters the idea of the blond wg-seemingy
trivial detail but in reality stroke of criminal genius
1t will be remembered that the delivery of the
department store which sold the baby ambskn cloak said
that he had given the package blondhared maid and
that he particularly remembered the blond hair because
this maid had firted with him. Alma decided btu
nete and no one suspected of course that she had nce
neatydressed blond wig which she could slip her
tightydressed hair while she walked down the
hallway from the of the house to the side door where
the deliveries made without running the risk that
the other servants might see her.
