 IS REPORT
By Associated Press.

NEW YORK, July l5.--A state ment concerning the situation in Ko- req was given out today by the com mission on relations with the orient of the federal council of the churches Of Christ in Amerca, of which com mission Williams l. Haven is chair man and Sydney l.. Gulick is secre- tary. The statement said in part:
 The reports of atrocities against the Korean population and especially against the native Christians that have been coming from Korea for several months are confirmed in abundant detail by a special report about to be issued by the committee on relations with the orient of the federal council of the churches of Christ in America.
 After nearly three months study of the Korean situation, this commits oACll lN Aoohlll5 q NAlAN DdoCu Ol4 the examination of about 1000 pages of manuscript reports of committees, letters and the personal accounts of responsible eye-witnesses to the events attending the Korean demon strations in favor of national inde- pendence and their ruthless aggres- sion by the Japanese military govern ment.
 This report substantiates the charge that the JaJanese colonial system which has been forced upon the Koreans is thoroughly Prussian in its military severity and it's treat ment of the native population Ev- anywhere in Korea, it is stated, the sword is the emblem of authority and even is worn by male school teachers in the claSs-rooms
 The recent movement for inde. pendence was started by educated Koreans anxious to save the people of their country from national ex- tinction and for the recovery of many of the elemental rights of justice, such as the use of their own language, freedom of the press and of speech and assembly, which have been de-. nied them by Japan.
 "The stripping and beating of girl demonstrators and the brutal treat ment of Korean women by Japanese soldiers were frequent, while bands of armed Japanese thugs were turned loose upon the Korean crowds. From March 1 to April II, 36l Koreans were known to have been killed and 860 wounded"

 AS TO ANY AGREEMENTS OF
 JAPAN TO ASSIST GERMANY
By Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
 WASHINGTON, July 15.-ThC stormy senate fight over the peace treaty shifted away from the league of nations covenant today and broke with a new fury about the provision giving Shantung peninsula to Japan.
 Chairman Lodge of .he fosc:T 1e- lations comm .t Grc,o,tu ShartInG was a price pad" for IaPans ac- ceptance of the league of nations. Senator Norris, republican. of .>e- braska, charged that Jaran 1T !9l7 secretly had inveigled the European allies into a promise to support her Shantung claims. Senator Borah, re- publican, of Idaho, asserted that if the United States must either under write the Shantung agreement or ac- cept the challenge of another power, the country would choose the latter course.
 Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska, ranking democrat of the committee, replied that the German rights in Shantung were obtained legally by treaty in 1898 and were won fairly from Germany by the Japanese, long before the United States entered the war. Senator Williams. democrat, of Mississippi, said the president had to accept the Shantung settlement or come home without a general treaty of peace, and that Japan never would give up the peninsula unless forced to do so by war.
 In the end, the senate adopted with q record vote a resolution by Senator Lodge asking the president for any available information about a secret treaty alleged to have been negotiat- ed between Japan and Germany inI 1918, embodying a plan for Russian and promising Japan indirect protection of German inter ests at the Versailles negotiation.
 A sweeping request for informa- ton about the conversations at Yer sailles also was sent to the White House by the foreign relations com mittee.

PRESIDENT |S EXPECTED ID
 TALK TREATY. ID SENATE
 COMMITTEE
By Associated Press.

WASHINGTON, July l5.-Intima- lions that the senate foreign rela- tions committee might not arrange for an early conference with Presi- dent Wilson for discussion of the peace treaty and the league of ma tions led to the suggestion that Mir, Wilson might begin his tour of the country sooner than he had planned.
 Fixing of the itinerary for the swing around the circle" was un- derstood to have been delayed to await completion of the committees program in order that there might be no conflict. The committee met again today, and laying aside temporarily inc question of asking for more in formation, began a reading of the of hcial text of the treaty submitted by the president
 Among administration senators. the impression prevailed that the presi- dent and the committee would be- brought together to discuss some features of the treaty. It was ex- pected, however, that these meetings would be at the White House rather than at the capitol.
 The foreign relations committee later adopted a resolution requesting the president. if not incompatible with the public interest, to furnish the committee virtually all docu- ments considered by the American peace commissioners in their work on the treaty with Germany.
 It was said that the resolution, of which Senator Johnson. republican, of California, was the author, was. adopted by virtually unanimous vote and that action by the senate was not considered. It requested the presi- dent to submit drafts of all proposals for league of nations as well as stenographic transcripts of formal proceedings at the peace conference.
 In the beginning the reading of the treaty text today the committee by mutual consent between republican and democratic members deferred consideration of the league of nations covenant. Chairman Lodge read the text and frequently was interrupted by questions and discussions of va Tious sections. Members expected that the reading would require sev- eral days.

WORK IS COMPLETED ON
 CUTOFF

PHOENIX, July 15.-The State Highway Department has issued a call for bids for the construction of two miles of the Prescott-Jerome high way at the Jerome end of the line.
 The state is operating a construc- ton camp in Yaeger canyon on the opposite side of the mountain from Jerome and to date has completed approximately six miles of heavy con- struction. By the middle of August this camp will nave completed con- struction to the top of Mingus Pass and it is hoped to have the entire road built across the mountain be- fore the season closes.
 The two miles out of Jerome is the heaviest piece of construction on the entire road and will require the removal of approximately 6O,OOO cubic yards of material, mostly solid rock. In several places the side ot the mountain is so steep that re- taining wall will be required to sup port the roadway and prevent its sliding down hill. The road will leave Jerome at an elevatoin of S. l6O feet and will climb the mountain on a six per cent grade almost con tinuously to NIingus Summit, dis tance of approximately seven and one-half miles, and reaching an al- titude of 7,O26 feet above sea level. From Mingus Summit the road will be down grade practically all the way to Prescott.
 A definite location for the road at the Prescott end has not been adopt ed. Two locations are being consid cred, one going east on the Cherry Creek road and the other through Granite Dells. The Granite Dells To- cation passes through some of the| most remarkable sceenry in America and for that reason many people have themselves as favoring this location The two locations are about the same length, but the Granite Dells route Is over better material and avoids crossing several washes
 There is more popular demand for this road than for any other road in the state and when completed it will fill a long felt want besides being one of the, most remarkable scenic in the state
 When the mountain portion is com plete it will be possible to go the re- distance over present roads

 PHOENIX. July l5.-State Treas urer H. s. Ross roilv sent dcnlard to w. E. BrOckner of Globe, county treasurer of Gila county. for the pay ment of taxes estimated at S500,0O0 from the Inspiration Smelling Co. and the Inspiration Consolidated Copper Go. for the years 1917. and 1918.
 A copy of the opinion received by the treasurer from the attorney general, setting forth the states claims to the money, accompanied the letter, and said in part:
 In my opinion, the county treas urer of Gila county must within 10 days after receipt by him of an order from you, transmit all moneys col lectod by him for the state, including the states portion of the taxes paid by the Isnspiration Consolidated Copper Co, for the years 1917 and 1918.
 T may say that the international Smelling Go. also paid it's taxes for 1917 and 1918 under protest.
 The supreme court of the state has rendered decisions in favor of the contention of the state in both the International and Inspiration Consol- dated Copper Co. cases, but the time for filing motions for rehearing has not yet expired and consequently no mandate has yet been issued by the supreme court. However, the fact that these cases are still pending is not a sufficient reason for the refu- sal of the county treasurer to pay to the state its portion of the taxes

absorb German Austria and be as
large. if not larger than before. Also
that Germany's industrial and agricul-
