THEY ACCEPT 1T AS THEY
DO ITS PERFORMANCE
Of course we know why the Essex is giving
such satisfaction. 1t is a new type.
Because of its lightness as we'll as durability,
its economy and at the same time performance,
accept it as it was designed to be, the
of tomorrow the embodiment of all that is de-
sirable in both the light weight car and the large
costly automobile.
1t meets all service needs as owners of large,
costly cars have learned to know those qualities.
Yet it is moderately priced, and the operating
cost is comparable to that Of light cars. The
Essex has proved that performance, durability
moderate cost and economy of operation may all
be found in one car.
The Essex calls for little attention. 1t is free
from many annoyances that interfere with the
pleasure Of motoring, it Is because the Essex
meets every motoring need without requiring
much attention to keep it in running condition,
that people speak of it as they do.

JAPANESE TAKE NEW
GRIP ON SHANTUNG
Begin Exclusion of Americans
and Other Foreigners.
Spectai Despatch TO Tur Sun.

wAsHINGroS, Aug. 26.-without even
waiting for the peace treaty TO give them
a grip on Chinese economic rights in
Shantung the Japenese have inaugurated
systematic plans to exclude foreigners,
including Americans. and to assert the
doctrine of China for the Japanese. +"
according to reports reaching here.
The state Department has no confr-
nation OF action begun against Ameri-
cans by the Japanese at Tsing-Tao. but
reports have come showing that the
Japanese are using the Shantung Rail-
way line as means of extorting pay
ment from the Chinese, who rightfully
own IT, Protest has been made by the
Chinese TO Paul 8. Reinsch, the American
Minister at Pekin. and to other legations.
According to n statement from Pekln
the situation is developing as follows;
Local associations of Chinese at Chin
chow have sent to all allied legations
except the Japanese reports to the effect
that the Japanese authorities there are
not allowing Chinese to cross the Shan
tung Railway line at the provided cross
ing except on payment OF a toll
similar action already has been re-
ported from Tsinanfu. and there is
reason to think that the plan is being put
In operation at all railway crossings on
the Shantung Railway.

but the local people, official and unofficial

Points Out Parallel.

Reviewing the reports about Japanese
treatment OF the people in Corea. the
Senator proceeded to recount the events
in the relations of Japan and China,
pointing out the parallel. In 1914 the
Black Dragon Society, the ultra mill
tarist organization of the empire, de-
manded that Japan take advantage of
the European war to establish her Arm
and permanent domination OF China,
urging that 1t was a heaven sent OPP
portunity that would never return.
Within a few weeks after that demand
was issued Japan sent that famous
twenty-one demands to China. 1t was
done in secret and China was notified
she would fare badly II the demands
were made public. Group Ave of these
demands sacrificed utterly the independ-
ence OF China, placing japanese lad
visers" In control OF financial. military
and political affairs in China. putting the
national police under japanese authority
and requiring China to buy war supplies
from Japan.

NAMED in these commissions.
The session Of the committee was
marked by animated discussion or
Egypt, among other things A delega-
ton OF East Indians had asked to be
heard by the committee regarding In
dia's self determination case and Dem
ocrats objected that the committee
would be intruding into the domestic
affairs Of another country to permit
this.
Senator Hitchcock (Neb.) likewise
protested that in hearing Joseph w.
Folk. counsel for the Egyptians. yes
terday the committee had overstepped
the international proprieties. .
This precipitated a debate as TO
whether Egypt has the diplomatic ma
chinery OF an independent and sover-
IL subject automatically neither to Tur-
key nor Britain. has its own diplomatic
machinery, and that the United Statse
has diplomatic authority accredited
directly to It In the person of a Consul
General. Diplomatic relations with
Egypt are conducted directly with the
court OF the Khedive and not through
the British Ambassador.
The discussions did not touch at any
point on the League OF Nations. After
the session Democratic leaders insisted
s., that the adoption of the Fall amend
ments really constituted a tactical adj
vantage for them, because 1t indicated
purpose to rip up the treaty generally,
and they insisted would detract from
the force Of the fight on the moral issue
of Shantung. Republicans were COM
placent as to such effects.
Senator Knox (Pa.) will speak in the
Senate Friday, when he will devote
himself to two particular matters. One
is his demand that the League of Ma
tons covenant be taken out Of the
treaty for separate consideration the
other will be a presentation of the legal
argument for restoration OF peace by
proclamation or resolution. which he
will contend is perfectly regular and
feasible. He is understood to have
novel arguments to sustain this position
and the speech is anticipated as one Ut
the most important In recent weeks

how he had been disciplined by being
