CHANCE IN China
FOR AMERICANS
J. J. Keegan of Shanghai
Says Ex-SoIdiers Should
Heed Call.
SCORES SHANTUNG PACT

| There is just opening now in China
an unprecedented opportunity for
alert, intelligent young Americans
who desire to enter business and grow
up with the country out there. Ex-
, soldiers, who feel the call to an en-
| tirely new field. will do well to con-
slider the far east
Thus spoke Joseph J. Keegan of
Shanghai, China. in Washington yes
terday on business connected with the
American Chamber of Commerce of
China and the United States Chamber
of Commerce.
China has money. She is becoming
aroused commercially. Her people are
very friendly toward America" said
Mr. Keegan, who contrasted condi-
tions there with those prevailing In
Europe, where, he pointed out, The
United States cannot sell great
amount of material, either raw or
finished, until America has first made
enormous loans.
Deprecates "Shantung Clause
Three things are essential, he point
ed out, to insure American CONNER
cial success if not commercial su-
premacy in China. One is better gov
ernment support for our consular Oh
fees Another is a federal lncorpora-
ton law amendment enabling Amerl-
can firms incorporated for foreign
trade to be free of state taxes. Ihe
third is abrogation of the ShantunS
clause in the peace treaty.
Incorporated under federal law Mr..
keegan explained, IAN American nrm
would be better able to compete with
f,-I
rivals in China. Holding United
States charter of incorporation COM
pany would have much greater pres
tige-and prestige is very important
out there-than if it held charter
given by the state of Delaware, for
instance. And then, under federal in
corporation, all American firms in for
eign fields would be governed by uni
form regulations, condltlon wnlch
now surely doesn't exist, as various
firms operate under many dlnerent
state incorporation laws and comply
with various domestic tax regulations"
Answers Questions.
Replying to questions, Mr.. Keegan
explained that the abrogation OF the
Shantung agreement within year, as
promised by Japan. undoubtedly would
make for a more friendly feeling
among all the foreigners living and
trading in China. This agreement,
which Germany forced on China, was
an atrocious thing, and all the world
recognizes it as such. The Japanese,
without doubt, will make many good
friends by this move. and certainly
they will make no enemies"
IF the Shantung concessions now
held by Japan were to remain in the
control of the Japanese, would the
circumstance seriously affect the
friendly relations between the Chi
nese and Americans and put big
crimp in the volume of business the
United States now transacts with
China?"
Well, it seemed SO to the American
Chamber of Commerce of China" Mr..
Keegan answered. land the chamber
sent a vigorous protest to the State
Department. But now, with the Japa-
nese declaring they will give up the
Shantung concessions as soon as the
air clears a bit-say within a year or
so-it looks like the whole unhappy
situation will be smoothed out nicely
without hard feelings in any quar-
ter"

PARIS, September St is under

tees to minorities in countries an
nexing parts of the former Austrian

speculation in Paris as to whether the
Rumanians will sign the treaty. The

The Californian is Benny Leonard's

Leonard met and easily defeated Ben

Within a week Benjamin has

Center Players Pray.
Having mentioned Center College
above somewhere, it is interesting to
note that, before starting into the
fray, the Danyille mountaineers knelt
in prayer. Furthermore, the Center
lads prayed right out in public be-
tween the halves of the West Virginia
game.
When the first half ended at

The Washington times., 1919-12-12

So DR.. William Arthur Garfield, pres
iideh of Center College, went down
upon the sod of the gridiron and led
the athletes in prayer.
1t was something new to me-" says
President Garfield. 1--WE prayed be-
fore, of course. but never prayed be-
fore on a football field. But the fight
that showed that day in my boys got
in me; too, and i wanted to go out
onto the field with them and line up
against those West Virginia noun
taineers. / felt sort of foolish crying
with the boys, but the tears came"
Center College is to play Harvard
in the huge stadium at Cambridge
next season. 1t will be worth noting
whether or not they get down on their
several knees and pray before the
mob that is sure to be in the stand
And 1t Will be an excellent sign of our
civilization if the Kentuckians' open
air prayers are received in silence by
that throng of New Englanders not
accustomed to such public manifesto
tions of their faith.
Before getting off this subject of
praying, Bob Higgins. the great cap
tain of the 1919 Penn State eleven,
has led football team i'm prayers.
No, it was not at Penn State, though
he may have been there for all we
know to the contrary. 1t was when
Higgins was at Peddie Institute
Highestown, N. j. There praying was
the regular thing before the players
ran out upon the field. But it was in
the clubhouse, not out upon the grid
iron. Center College is, so far as we
know. alone in this praying on the
