BY EDWARD w. PIckARD.

In the interest of an early peace and
of the successful organization of the
league of nations, President Wilson re-
Taxed last week somewhat from his
hitherto uncompromising attitude in
the matter of secret treaties and self
determination. AS result the contro-
versy over KiauChau and the Shan
tung peninsula was ended in favor of
Japan, which is to get all the old Ger
man concessions and grants. The Chi
nese delegation argued and protested
in vain, and there was an intimation
that, though it would not withdraw
from the conference, it would appeal
to the United States senate.
Viscount Chinda successfully object
ed to the publication of the treaty of
1915 which was imposed on China, and
the two countries will be left to agree
on the details of carrying out that
pact and the agreement of 1918. The
understanding is that the city of Kiau-
Chau will be given back to China, but
that Japan will retain the port privi-
leges. More important are the rights
Japan obtains in the Shantung district,
including the most valuable railway
and mineral concessions.
Since Great Britain virtually refused
to support the American contention in
favor Of China and evidently intended
to stand by her Japanese alliance, and
as Japan made it clear that if her de-
mands were rejected she would not re-
main in either the peace conference
or the league of nations, there was
nothing for Mr.. Wilson to do but
yield, and thus one of the most serious
disputes of the conference was settled.
The American delegation considered
the agreement the best possible to be
obtained, and confidence is felt that
the league of nations will be able to
protect China's rights fully in the fu-
ture. The Japanese military forces
are to be withdrawn from Shantung as
speedily as possible.

THINK BAUMANN MUST
 HAVE MET FOUL PLAY

The News has interviewed a number of the friends of Geo. Baumann, this week, and these true friends give it as their opinion that George Baumann must have met with foul play in California. They have not the least doubt that he fully intended coming back and that he will come back yet if alive. They further assert that there was no cause for him to fail to return, in his financial condi- ton here. They insist that his property would easily pay off his liabilities and leave him a comfortable balance.
 It has further been contem- plated by number of these persons, to raise fund and send someone to Cali fornia to look for MI. Baunann to learn what has happened to him. A number have volun- teered subscriptions to such a fund, and it is quit probable that such an effort may be made. The idea is a good one. If George has met foul play, he deserves that those who knew him in Williams, should look into the matter and give him the aid that a fellow citizen de- serves.

Fraternal Order Buys War Stamps to Cheek Waste
 and High Prices

Washington-The Fraternal Order of Eagles, in convention at New Haven. Conn.,. has pledged itself to the pur- chase of $5,0O0,000 in War Savings Stamps. This action was taken as a means for the checking of national waste and extravaganza and for the reduction of the high cost of living. News of the steps taken by the order was received today by William Mather Lewis, Director of the Savings Division of the Treasury Department.
 After adopting resolutions endorsing the government thrift campaign as a movement for de-eloping a national habit of saving and approving consis- tent investment in government savings securities, the Grand Aerie subscribed for $2,500,O0O in War Savings Stam ps for distribution among members of the order.
 Assurances were received from sub ordinate Aeries that they would sub scribe for an equal amount for the same purpose.
 MT. Lewis immediately transmitted a message to the officers of the order expressing the tremendous apprecia- tion of the Savings Division of their action in promoting the thrift move ment.

Sells Photograph Gallery

J. H. Gottlieb has sold his photograph gallery in Tempe and will now turn his attention entirely to his studio in Will Hams. He states that he will remain in Williams permanent ly if the patronage he receives here justifies his doing so. Are people of Williams aware of the fact that in MT. Gottlieb, we have a photographer to whom the town may point with pride? His work ranks right up with the best done in cities of ten and twenty thousand. Those who have had him do work for them have had to shake them selves to make sure that they were awake and actually get tng this class of work done in Williams. If you want any photographic work soon call at Gottlieb's Studio next week and get photograph free of charge. You will then be con- vinced that Williams now has high class photographer.

FACING THE FACTS

The national debt of the United States at the end of the fiscal year 1911-1912 was $1,040, ,34O,00O, or $10.40 for each person living in this country, shgurlng on the basis of LOG, ,000, ,000 pop ulation. The national debt of the United States on June 1, 1asa, was $25, 5,421,lb1,270. This simply means that every person in the United States faces national debt that averages $231.1O. If conditions that have be. come so radically changed by this so greatly increased debt are to become in any wise normal, they can come in just one way-the absorption of this bonded debt by the savings of the peo- pie.
 mittee by the governor, w. P. G. Hard ing, of the Federal Reserve Board, to their qtsRsg-s as to what legislation was needed at this time and to relieve the financial situation, was: "The Federal Reserve Board believes that any cur. rency legislation at this time is unnec. essary and undesirable and would sug- gest that whether viewed from an eco homie or financial standpoint, the rem edy for the present situation is the same, namely: Work and save"
 The people have got to spend less and save more.
 The people can save. Uninvested money is dissipated too easily and is wasted too often. If the money is in the pocket, that new luxury really not needed is usually gotten, for it is easy to convince ones self that it is good business to buy the thing one wants Invested money earns interest, it eis not so easily spent, and it encourages the saving of more

People of Pacific Slope Have Loaned Government Huge
 Sum Since 1918

San FranciscoANearly $100, ,O00, ,000 worth of War Savings and Thrift Stamps have been sold by the govern ment in the Twelfth Federal Reserve District since Uncle Sam opened his thrift campaign in 1918 to help finance the war. Tn other worlds said Rob- ert E. Smith, director of the War Loan Organization in the Twelfth District. "the people of California, Oregon. Washington, Idaho. Nevada. Utah and part of Arizona have added that much to the working capital of the nation and the West out of their savings, not to mention the tremendous sum they have saved by purchasing Liberty Bonds"
 Of course many persons who bought Thrift and War Savings Stamps have cashed in their securities with amaz- ing shortsightedness, but the wiser purchasers are holding their stamps until they maintain their full maturity value. Those persons who have cashed in their War Stamps or their Liberty Bonds and have spent the money have lost twice the amount they saved because, no matter what they bought. they paid nearly twice as much for it as they would have paid less than five years from now" said Smith. Prices have risen more than 100 per cent since 1914. They will drop at least 50 per cent in the next few years and will eventually get back to the 1914 level. Now is the time to save"
 Smith, who is a successful fnancier, said: We have high prices because of the expansion of credit and conse- quent imitation. We won't have low prices until the people contract the currency by saving" Save by invest ing in government securities.

IN OUR OWN HANDS

Solution of the financial crisis super induced by the unjust cost of living, is largely in the hands of the American people themselves, according to the United States Federal Reserve Board. In his letter to the Senate Committee on Banking and Finance, W. P. G. Harding, governor of the Federal Re serve Board. said:
 Whether viewed from an economic or financial standpoint the remedy for the present situation is the same, name ly to work and to save; work regularly and efficiently. iu order to produce and distribute the largest possible volume of commodities, and to exercise econo- mics in order tkat money, goods and services may be devoted primarily to the liquidation of debt and to the sat isfaction of the demand for necessities, rather than to the indulgence in ex- travagance or the eradication of a desire for luxuries."
 America must both work and save. There are many ways to work but only one way to save That is to save first and spend afterws rds, to put aside the first dollar that comes in, not the last dollar that goes out. It was to make possible the saving of even the smallest sums and their safe investment that government Savings Stamps and Treas ury Savings Certificates were offered to the American people. Tgsr r-s
 Students of economics declare that this country is on a magnificent pros perity debauch. Dealers in jewelry, ex- pensive apparel and food delicacies throughout the country say the demand for their wares is unprecedented and that buyers do not care what they pay for them.
 Stop living up to your wages or sal ary Save regularly and invest in War Savings Stamps.

PLANT MAKES PROFIT

The Electric Light depart ment of the Town of Williams, made profit during the month of August, of $65.29. This is not such a wonderfully large profit but it is equivalent to a very handsome profit when you compare it with the loss of sev- eral hundred dollars which this department has found at the end of each succeeding month. This profit remained after de- ducting ten per cent for depre citation on the entire plant and equipment, and after paying all expenses for the month.
 : This elimination of the us- ual monthly loss is the result of careful and diligent attention to the business of this department, by Town Clerk Lee and Manag- CT Hudson, coupled with the right sort of support and coop eration from the Town Council. Now that this has been done once, managers are confident that it can be done again, altho not during the present month because of extra expense due to the fuel car being tied up by the railroad strike so that current had to be purchased from the Saginaw while the city plant stood idle. The profit made in August is due mainly to increas- . ed revenue as it was impossible to reduce most of the items of expense. This increased reve- nue is partly due to the installa- tion of meters and partly to increased custom from new pa irons.
 Chasing this deficit off from the ledger has been a difficult task and the fact that it has been is proof of good business management. The little unit at, the plant, which was too small for the work required of it, was most largely responsible for the extra heavy running expense of the plant in the past. MT. Hud- son is confident that the new unit, while making it possible to add new business because of in- creasedcapacity, will also run at lower operating exepnse. There is a very good chance of securing the contract for the Santa Fe signal service, with the aid of this new unit, and that will greatly enlarge the revenue from the plant.
 The boiler of the new unit ar rived this week, and is being in- stalled. It will have capacity of 250 horse power which will be ample for all purposes for number of years to come. It will probably take a number of weeks to get this unit in opera ton, but once it is ready for business, the repair expense should be but a small part of that regularly incurred by the little gas engine, and deprecia- tion on this steam engine should be smaller, too. The municipal water plant has been financial success from the first. It look5 as tho the light plant is soon to climb into the same class.

during the last few days actually hate
the police who are now out on strike
and have no sympathy with their pres
ent move, but they are Selling upon the
opportunity offered by the temporary
relaxation of surveillance to ply their
nefarious trades. SO the police as a
body cannot be considered as factors i'll
the crime wave only as their refusal TO
render service makes them responsible
forthe uprising of released riminality.
In sizing up the situation in Boston, that
fact should be borne in mind The
strike and the strike issues are largely
apart On general principle we should
say that, as sworn defenders Of adj prop
erty and all people, the police of any
city should not become affiliated with
any particular section of those people
but should maintain real neutrality so
that they could perform their sworn du-
ties untrammeled. The maintenance of
that strict neutrality would not prevent
them from forming their own particular
organization, through the agency OF
which communication might be had with

st. Johnsbury has an opportunity to
secure clinch hold on the pie sugar
industry of the eastern states by ex
empting from taxation for period of
10 years proposed extension of the
business already established there by
the Cary Maple Sugar company, said
extension being intended to allow the
employment of several scores of men a
considerable part Of the year, if not the
entire year Moreover, st. Johnsbury
would become the chief distributing
point of the product Of all the branches
of the concern which is one of the larg-
est on the continent 1t looks as if st.
Johnsbury could afford to grant this ex
emption to help along its industrial ad-
vancement. Indirectly, Vermont is in
terested in the proposal because of the
desire of Vermont people TO realize their
ambition to be the banner maple sugar
state of the country and to compete sue
eessfully with the industry in Canada
Any growth Of the distributing end Of
the industry is calculated to stimulate
the production of maple products by
Vermont farmers, which, in turn, means
a greater degree of prosperity for the
state. The business at ST, Johnsbury
ought to be accorded encouragement.
