Even If the Italian crisis is safely
passed today, the big four" is ex-
pected to be confronted with the Japa- :
nese Situation" tomorrow or Sunday
JAPs TO RENEW CLAIMS
At that time the Japanese are sched
uled to present their claims affecting
certain concessions in China, particu-
larly those in Shantung peninsula. The
general sentiment appeared to favor
China in this controversy, but again It
was believed the matter would be
safely compromised.
Indications today were that the
peace treaty would be finally rati-
fled by the plenary conference on
April "a, just one day before tho
Germans arrive in Versailles to re-
ceive it, if tire program is followed.
Two plenary sessions apparently will
be necessary, the first on April 23 to
receive the revised covenant of the
league of nations and final reports of
the various commissions and the sec
ond on the following day when the
whole treaty will be taken up.
COULD START SOMETHING
AS the Italians see it they could
overturn the whole claims-calling
upon the signatories of the pact of
London TO live up to their agreement
against arranging a separate peace.
(The signatories to the pact of Lon
don, Gpnsummated in 1915, We're Italy,
Great Britain, France and Russia.
Under this agreement Italy was given
certain territorial concessions for en-
tering the war on the side of the
allies.)
Certain of the allies, led by the
Americans, have maintained that ac-
ceptance of the armistice terms abro-
gated all secret treaties.
WILSON STANDS FIRM
President Wilson, who has cen
placed in a position of virtual arbi-
traitor of the rival claims of the Ital-
ians and Jugo- Slavs, has made 1t
known that he will not deviate from
the stand that his dispute must be set
tied according to the ID points.
The Jugo-Slav delegation, it devel-
oped today, has written to Premier
Clemenceau, asking that the future
of Fiume and Dalmatia be solved by
a plebescite under the recognized prin-
ciple of lf-determination.
The Japanese in pushing their de-
mands for early settlement of the
Shantung question are expected to ap-
pear before the big four" tomorrow or
JAP CLAIMS IN DISFAvoR
They are insistent that their claims
to ratification of concessions in the
peninsula-which are bit |
terly opposed by the Chinese-be |
at once, 1t Is understood /
general sentiment, however, appeared |
to favor the Chinese In this dispute.
All commissions, with the exception |
of the one considering conflicting |
Polish and German boundary claims, /
have completed their work. 1t is ex-
pected there will be two plenary ses-
slons next week, possibly on Thurs
day and Friday. The league OF ma
tions covenant and reports of the var
Ious commissions probably will be
submitted at the first session. The
entire treaty will be taken up at the
second Both meetings are expected
to be secret.

REPUBLICANS in
A GREAT scheme
Are Planning to Capture the
Electoral Vote in Tennes-
see Next Year

That the republicans have serious
intentions to capture the electoral
vote of Tennessee is indicated By
the forthcoming conference of
leaders in Chattanooga this month,
which will be attended BY Chair
man Will Hayes OF the national
committee. The date for the
''powwow" has not been fixed.
National Committeeman Jesse
Littleton is awaiting word from
Chairman Hayes. Hayes is the
instigator of the meeting, having
communicated with Mr.. Littleton
several days ago and Littleton inn
mediately got into communication
with Chairman Hal Clements at
Knoxville and these two have
worked out the plans.
Middle and West Tennessee re-
publican leaders have been invited
to come to the conference, while
large numbers from the First
and Second districts will be in
attendance.
1t is proposed to hold an ex-
ecutive session to discuss the poll
tical situation in the state and lay
plans for naming republican
electors in the next presidential
campaign. About 900 men and
women identified with the republi-
can organization in the state are
expected.
1t has been circulated among
rank and file of the party that if
there is absence of fractional strife
in the preliminaries to the national
convention, the national committee
will come into the state with a
serious purpose of breaking the
democratic majority and overturn-
ing them in the next campaign.
1t has been cited that the national
party leaders will require that
delegates be elected to the national
convention without friction or fuss
or bolt, and that a state ticket be
nominated with entire harmony
prevailing.

some of the finest team work, but
the Henry boys were much heavier
than Trezevant boys. The score
for the games between the first
teams was 81 to13. Will johnson,

ANNUAL MEETING
NATIONAL UNION
Farmers Organization to Hold
Important Meeting in Mem
phis, Nov. 1920

The fifteenth annual meeting Of
the National Union Farmers Edu.
cationaI and Cooperative Union OF
America, to be held in Memphis,
November Is, 10 and 90, will be
one Of the most important meet
ings ever held by this great farm
organization.
Speaking of the work Of the
uniOn, the national secretary and
treasurer, A. g. Davis, says:
1.-THE choatic condition of the in
dustrial and political world makes
this not only a critical hour for
business and commercial industry,
but for agriculture as we'll.
Farmers have the self-appointed
task of feeding the millions and
clothing the multitudes. Facing
them in this undertaking are the
extreme demands Of labor for
wages, the ever mounting prices
of machinery and all farm sup
plies, and the constant decrease in
the price of most farm COM
modities. The situation is indeed
grave, but the nation at large does
not seem to realize it,"
Mr.. Davis adds, Some means
must be found and that soon for
the adjustment of economic con-
ditions, else the number of our
hungry and naked may be in
creased. Farmers are awake to
the gravity of the situation and are
determined to work at their pro-
blem through organization.
The Farmers Union has stood
the test of II years. Its activities
have increased from year to year.
The report of the secretary at the
coming meeting will show 25
organized state unions and thous-
ands of cooperative business in
situations, including cotton ware
houses. oil mills, grain elevators,
-four mills. terminal warehouses,
live stock selling agencies, state
wide exchanges, ETC."

FIFHT TO FINISH
LABOR DETERMINATION
Official Washington Thinks a
Great Issue at Stake and
End Not in Sight

The following special from the
Commercial Appeal published in
that paper Tuesday looked very
much like official Washington be-
Heved that the issue between the
government and labor was likely
to grow very serious. The article
follows:
Since all three branches of the
government agree to the unlawful.
ness of the coal strike, the issue
now Involves the paramount ques-
ton of sovereignty. In this light
the strike is no longer a contest
between labor and capital, but has
narrowed down TO a test between
the United States government and
the strikers. The preponderance
of public opinion as well as official
opinion here favors a finish fight.
In congressional circles the almost
unanimous sentiment is for settle
ment of the issue as it is presented
without regard to the cost of the
campaign or the extremity to
which it may be necessary to carry
it. Go the limit to maintain
the sovereignty of the govern
ment." is one sentiment about
which there can be no mistake.
