the richest-territory of China to
Japan. The only reason for Amer
ica's indorsing the Shantung clause
is said to be the refusal of Japan to
become a member of the league of
nations if her claims to Shantung
should be refused.
The awarding of Shantung to
Japan was bitterly opposed by the
American Peace Delegates Lansing,
White and Bliss, but agreed to by
the president.
Opponents Of the Shantung clause
offered these arguments:
Acquired By Robbery.
That the German rights in
Shantung were acquired by robbery.
That China having fought Ger
many, German rights in China
should have reverted to China.
That the fact that the Japanese
ousted the Germans from Shantung
gave them no more rights or title
through conquest, than the French
British acquired to the territory of
Belgium from which they ousted
the Germans:
That the action of Japan in fore
ing an ally through military menace
to cede it the German rights by
treaty was not an action which
ought to command the Endorsement
of the other allies and the United
States.
That the stripping of an ally of
her territory to buy the good will
of a power that seeks to dominate
that nation and its people would
not only be shockingly violative of
the purposes for which the United
States went to war, but would be
an act of unparalleled infamy.
That Endorsement of the seizure
would be in sad contrast with the
previous history of the United
States, all of whose wars have been
to right wrongs of its own and for
eign peoples, and never to under
write them.

Should China, at any time, make
an attempt to take the lost prov

by declaring war upon her, Amer
ica, as member of the league of
nations, would Immediately have to
come to the aid of Japan. If the
league of nations government thus
decides, provided the treaty is ac-
cepted by the senate without reser-
vations."

Only Hospital on the
South Side to Close
for Reorganization

The South Omaha hospital, Twen-

Side medical institution, will be
close indefinitely August |, during
reorganization of the South Omaha
Hospital association, c. iR. Waters,

who are unable to be removed from

How Article x Reads.
"The members of the league un-
dertake to respect and preserve as
against external aggression the ter
ritorial integrity and existing po-
litical independence of all members
of the league In case of any such
aggression, or in case of any threat
or danger of such aggression, the
council shall advise upon the means
by which the obligation shall be
fulfilled"
Opponents of the league construe
this clause as robbing the United
States congress of its constitutional
rights to declare state of war.
War can only be declared by the
league of nations, and should the
league of nations choose to declare
war against a power of the world,
the United States, as member of
the league, would have to heed the
call of the league, instead of put
ting the vote for a declaration of
war up to the elected members of
congress.
What Opposing Senator's Want.
That nothing in article X shall be
construed to obligate the United
States to enter war without a de-
claration of war by congress.
That nothing in the covenant
shall in any way impair the Monroe
doctrine or curtail the nations
prerogative of administering it as
a purely national policy.
That it shall be understood that
in accepting the covenant the
United States does not forfeit its
sovereign right to determine purely
domestic problems such as immi-
grafton and the tariff.
Shantung Clause.
The Shantung clause is based
upon secret agreement between
Japan on one side and Great Britain
and France on the other. The
clause demands that all territory,
before the war serving German in
terests, and located in the Pacific
north of the equator, should 60 to
Japan, and all the territory south of
the equator to Great Britain. The
French and British made the prom
ise to Japan that they would indorse
these claims at the peace table in
secret treaty in July, 1916.
The Shantung treaty alone turns
over populace of more than 49,
100000 and one of the richest-if not

HONOLULU, Aug. 22.-Secretary
Daniels dedicated the great Pearl
Harbor dry docks yesterday, Mrs.
Daniels pressing the button that
flooded the structure.
Dedication of the dry dock in the
presence of Secretary of the Navy
Josephus Daniels, and distinguished
military, naval and civilian officials,
marked the completion of an import
ant unit in a navy and army con
struction program designed to make
this island of the Hawaiian group,
Oahu, the Gibraltar of the Pacific.
The Pearl Harbor dock, work on
which was begun ten years ago, rep
resents an investment of more than
$1,000, 900. 1t is one of the largest
naval dry docks in the world and
will accommodate any warship now
floating the American flag. Secre-
tary Daniels came to Hawaii with
the battleship New York and the de-
stroyers Chauncey, Dent, Philip and
Waters to participate in the dedica-
tCry ceremonies. Others who as
sisted were Rear ADMIRAL William
b. Fletcher, commaI.dSEr of the
