JAPAN HER

(By jeremiah w. Jerks, PhD., LLD.)
The peace conference has brought
out the drift of japanese intentions
in the Orient. China's demand for the

an issue of the great settlement.
The efforts of Japan to pave the way,
for her guardianship over East Asia,
particularly yer the Chinese repub-
lie and its resources, cannot go I'M

Japanese rest their claims?
Before 1914 they could have rested
on the support gotten from bidding
about the diplomatic bargain table,
overriding of treaties, and the mas
wiring from a weaker. But this peace
conference is not the twentieth cen

Kahn to Ask Early
Return of Troops

WASHINGTON May 23.-(By Asso-

the entire American army from Europe
will be demanded by Representative
Kahn, chairman of the house military
affairs committee, who returned to
Washington today after two months
investigation of conditions among the
American Expeditionary forces.
Mr. Kahn return to washington to-
day and Immediately began his report
to the committee.
A peace army of 1905 men and
universal military training will be
among the things recommended by
Chairman Kahn. He announced he
would endeavor to have both adopted
during the presen5 session of con-
gress.
American troops, Mr. Kahn said
he found, liked neither the French
nor the British troops, and he reit-
Grated there was no doubt both the
latter were beaten when the American
army stepped in Chairman Kahn an
nounced he would press for the publi-
cation of the full terms of the peace
treaty at once. The published sum-
mary, he declared, was far different
than the treaty itself, and he predict
ed that the American people would
receive a great many surprises when
they study it carefully"

Hun Plea Exaggerated and Ignores
Fundamental Causes of Terms,
Says Note.
$4,000, 900 TONS SHIPPING SUNK,
BUT ONLY 10000 TONS ASKED
Brockdorff-Rantzau and Colleagues
Off For Spa; Expected Back
Sunday.

PARIS, May 23.-(By Associated
| Press) Germany economic status
under the peace terms is the result of
her own behavior particularly through
the ruthlessness of her submarine
warfare, the Allied and Associated
council has informed Count Won
Brockdorff- -Rantzau, in answer to his
note on economic questions.
The Allied answer, as made public
today, is negative. 1t points out that
the German plea is exaggerated and
! ignores fundamental considerations
| which led to the imposition of the
terms The loss to the world of ship
| ping through the submarine campaign
it is declared. amounts to nearly 49,
600 900 tons, while the Allies propose
to make Germany repay but 100000
tons.
In answer to the German plea that
Germany will be called upon to feed
67,000,000 persons, it is declared that
the peace treaty takes 100000 out OF
German control 1t is added that Ger
man agriculture is in better shape
than that of Poland, Belgium and
northern France where the fighting
was heaviest The Germans complain-
ed that they would lose certain neces-
sary commodities. The allied reply is
that Germany can import these goods.
Germany, it is asserted, destroyed
| the Lens coal fields, and the coal
fields taken from her in payment for
the destruction wrought, still leaves
her sufficient sources of fuel The
Germans complained that the German
population would suffer under the
! treaty, what was described as a
death sentence" The reply points
out that all countries are suffering
as a result of the war and there is
no reason why Germany, which was
responsible for the war. should not
suffer. German figures as to the loss
| in population due to the blockade and
speculation as to what will happen to
the population in the future are de-
clared to be fallacious. There viii be
every opportunity for Germany to
make her position in the world both
stable and prosperous. Germany, it is
pointed out, has not suffered from pill
lage and devastation and there win
be a saving from reduction of arma-
ments and the size of her army in
turning Of the armament making pop.
ulation to works of peace.

saying that movement is under con-

would adopt a resolution giving its in
depreciation of certain articles in the

which had found it's way into the
house, explained the source of the
scare.
