The Japanese Statement

The statement from Tokio as to Japans nten- new to the literature of that controversy It can result in the removal of of the objections that have been offered to those three shameful articles of the peace treaty Secretary Lansing admits that in them was abandonment of the principle of self determination. And worse, the abandonment of the principle not forced by the establishment of new boundaries in the wartorn region, in the setting up of new governments. but the other side of the world adversely affecting the people of a helpless but friendly ally which had been lured into the war
 Though the president describes the Tokio utter ance frank statement" description which we do not think will be accepted as at all accurate it evidently does quite satisfy him for he says of it. it ought to serve to remove MANY of the misunder- standings which had begun to accumulate about this question" There misunderstanding about the way in which Japan to be in Shantung That is known to all the world. There misunderstanding regarding the in which the peace conference confirmed the presence of the invaders in Shantung
 There could be misunderstanding about when Japan intended to restore Shantung China and as to that the Toko statement is silent It was precisely the kind of statement that expected evasive of the only thing that was not known and disquieting of the suspicion that Japan meant to retain Shan tung at it's pleasure something it may do under the peace treaty.

 The Queen of Smiles was not, for once in her life, up to her nick name. She dropped into a chair in corner, faced the wall, and het her big hat brim drop like a curtain between her face and the crowd, and then the big tears ran a race down her pretty cheeks.

25O,OOO SHOPMEN ON
 STRIKE IS ESTIMATE
IRepubIican A. p. Leased Wire]

CHICAGO, Aug. 6.-Leaders of the Chicago district council of the Fed erated Railway Shopmen's unition said tonight that a conservative estimate was that 250,000 shopmen were on strike throughout the country and that the movement was spreading. They declared that no violence would be countenanced by the union and that so far as they knew no mail trains had been interfered with
 Assistant District Attorney Milroy Said today that evidence of interfer- ence with the mail train schedules would bring action against persons re- sponsible for calling the strike.

 A slow sheer spoiled her smile.
 Don't you know anything at all about men, Jane Lorimer?' she said T was honest. I told you I expected that when Tiny had recovered from the gassing he would insist that we get married He got well rapidly on a Canadian ranch. Then he came for me"
 And you're here to buy your clothes I asked eagerly, confident that Chrys' quest must be common to brides-to- be.
 T told you months ago that I would never marry Tiny until I had handed him the whole truth about myself
 She stopped-and the pause was ominous.
 But, of course Tiny didn't"
 "9es. he did, though He heard me to the end, then he looked my way just once. He didn't look angry nor hurt. It was so much worse. He glanced at me as if I were an utter stranger. Then he went away" I "Oh, Mary, Mary, Who is Tiny 1 Goff-roustabout and adventurer-to l judge you?"

"Mr. Palmer found the chemical

Not Allowed Out Doors.
The members of the choir are not
allowed to walk in the streets of

voices. Closed taxicabs are used to
transport the members from their
hotel to the place of the concert.
While in Omaha the singers will be
guests at the Rome hotel.
Special preparations for meals fo1
the singers must be made in every
city that they visit. American
dishes do not appeal to them and
an effort is made by the manag

they are exactly prepared and
