Senator who have conferred with
the President have indicated that Mr..
Taft's program is being studied by Mr..
Wilson also.
Conferences of Republican senators
with the President on the peace treaty
and league of nations were continued
today, those visiting the White House
being Senators Page of Vermont,
Sterling of South Dakota, Mclean OF
Connecticut, and Newberry of Mich
igan. Other Republican Senators, it
is announced will be invited to con-
ference with the President until all
have had opportunity to discuss the
provisions of the treaty and covenant
with him, and receive information of
the inside history of the peace con-
ference that are such that they are not
proper subjects for public discussion
at this time.
Senators who have visited the Presi-
dent and discussed these matters
intimate that they were informed that
Premiers Clemenceau and Lloyd
George informed Mr.. Wilson that their
governments were bound by their
agreements with Japan made when
that nation came into the war; and
that if any change was made in the
demands of Japan with regard to the
Shantung settlement, Mr.. Wilson him
self would have to induce the Japanese
ENJOYS to withdraw or modify thei1
demands, task which he had found
impossible. Any proposal he made was
firmly yet courteously declined. And
as France and Great Britain would
not stand to overrule japan, the treaty
had to be framed with the Shantune
provision as it is at present.

York after hiking across the conti-
nent from her home in Seattle, Wash
ington. AS she walked the whole dis
tance the trip cost only $23. The
major part of that amount was spent
between Chicago and New York. Mrs.
Franklyn made the trip after dis
cussion among her neighbors, and a
prize of $4,000 was posted as a re-
ward if the trip was successfully ac-
complished. The conditions of her
coast-to-coast trip were that she was
not to ride on railroad or to ask for
rides on any vehicle. She was not to
accept proffered rides unless asked a
second time. She was to refuse food
unless she paid for it or worked for
it. She found everybody very kind
on the way, so in all she had only to
walk 432 miles. Many autoists, mule
drivers and others gave her lift.
She was less than a month on the way.

WASHINGTON, July 23.- Today
President Wilson issued a statement
denying that he is responsible for the
Shantung settlement, as has been re-
ported in dispatches. The statement
promulgated said:
"The President authorizes an an
nouncement that the statement carried
in several papers this morning, that
he formulated the provisions in the
peace treaty with Germany with re-
gard to Shantung, is altogether false.
He exerted all the influence he was
at liberty to exercise in the circum-
stances to obtain a modification of the
terms; and he believes that the
ultimate action of Japan with regard
to Shantung will put the matter in its
true light"
