More than two and one-half miles of concrete have been laid on the Doug las end of the Bisbee-DOuglas high way, and concrete pouring is schedul- ed to start on the Bisbee end of the road Monday, according to announce ment yesterday by the highway com mission.

WARM COMMUNICATION $ GIVEN BISBEEAN BY
 COMMANDING OF TIGER

To Sergeant First Class Ben IT. Wolf formerly of Bisbee, now with machine shop truck unit No. 4O9, in France, has come through military channels a letter of commendation from his commanding office which in every manner is unique and interest ing. Wolf was formerly foreman of the mechanical department of a John son addition garage. He is a brother of O. c. Wolf, now resident of War ren. A copy of the commendation has been received in the district.
 ''This is to personally express of ficial appreciation of your having cred. ibly and honorabIy filled the position you willed during the active opera tions in the St. Mihiel, the Argonne and the Yy Scheldt campaigns, not withstanding the fact that you were Tn an organization of such merit where promotion was we'll nigh impossible" :" says the citation, which is signed by H. E. Saville, colonel in the United States army.
 No obstacle in civil life can com pare with those which our repair sys- tenn had to overcome as to facilities, parts, makes, etc." the citation con tinues. "The numerous commenda- >tions, citations and recommendations that have come to us as our part of the distinction that the 91st division has won are but the outdome of the loyal, indefatigable and conscientious attention to duty under all kinds of danger and hardships, that character ized the work of our organization"
 In giving an idea of the work of the organization the citation says: "The operation of motor transit. days and nights. under fire ane without lights, necessitated working from as much as 36 to 48 hours in the seat without rest over No Mans Land. over shell torn roads in a country where names were unpronouncable and desig- nations were uncertain. involved a class of work that can never be equalled in civil life"

it be left in the hands of Germany, which nation seized it by an act of ruthless intimidation, rather than have Japan there.
 The wishes of the Chinese have been wholly disregarded in disposing of this important sacred part of China's ages-old domain, and the Chi nese population are left to suffer and endure the pains of Japanese occupa- tion.
 No Chinese trusts Japan's oft-re- peated promises to restore Kiau Chau and to evacuate Shantung-which as- surance, by the way, was omitted from the treaty.
 Four to One Against China
 It is no wonder, however, that China lost her case before the con ference, through no fault of her dele gates in Paris, when it is understood that she was forced to submit it to a court of five, of whom four-Great Britain, France, Italy and Japan-al- ready had signed in 1917 secret agree ments among themselves to decide against China.
 China's only chance was that the United States government would firm ly exert its influence in her behalf and would positively refuse its assent to ratification by the conference of those secret agreements
 The American representative on the council evidently felt compelled, under what pressure We can conjure, to yield to mandatory expediency the moral responsibility which the United States voluntarily assumed by induc- ing China to enter the war.
 I fear that American prestige and popularity with Chinese will be much impaired because of tEis failure of the United States firmly to support China.
 The further allotment to Japan of the former German economic interests in Shantung province practically as- extension to other parts of China, of the systematic evasions by Japan of the "open door" which react so strong ly against American commercial op- portunity in China.
 Americans will feel astonishment when the study the conditions of peace, that the only question that came before the conference in which the United States has a positive and definite interest and responsibility was allowed practically to go by de- fault.

RAIN KEEPS BOXERS
 INACTIVE; WILLARD'S WIND IN BAD SHAPE

TOLEDO, June 7.-Several hun dred persons who visited the training camps of Jack Dempsey and Jess Will lard today in anticipation of seeing some glove performances were disap- pointed because a severe rainstorm breaking as Willard was about to start his workout, prevented exhibi. uOns in both camps. r-,-r n
 Dempsey was more disappointed than any of the spectators, as he has been loafing since Monday and was eager to resume training. He want ed to box his partners in his living quarters but Manager Kearns told him to wait until tomorrow. If the day is pleasant both boxers will play to ca pacity houses as they plan to double their efforts after missing today.
 Willard complained today that he is finding the change in climate from California to Ohio a hardship. He said that when he left Los. Angeles ten days ago his wind was in excel lent condition but the conditions here have affected his breathing. Other members of the champions entourage who accompanied him from the coast made similar complaints.
 Now that the weather is getting cooler, I think I will be able to work faster but it will be a week before I will be in condition to go at top speed" Willard said "I expect that my breathing will be all right as quickly as I become accustomed to the climatic conditions"
