RELIES ON LEAGUE

u. S. Delegates Acted to Pre-
uent Break in Paris.
By the Associated Press.

PARIS. May 1.-The Chinese delegates
to the Peace Conference have requested
the Council of Three to give to them
the official statement OH the Kiao-chau
agreement. While not concealing their
disappointment over the published I'M
official version of the agreement. the
Chinese withhold comment pending an
official explanation of the term.
great difference OF opinion prevails
In conference circles as to the effect the
agreement will have In far Eastern at
fairs. The japanese delegates are pleased
over the transfer of German rights and
property to them and say the agree
ment virtually carries into effect the
provisions OF the Carbohydrates treaty
of May IS, 1915.
The owners of the railway out OF
Kiao-c will use special police only to
insure the security of traffic. This force
will be composed of Chinese. with such
Japanese instructors as the directors OF
the railway shall select and who are
appointed by the Chinese Government.
All japanese military forces are to be
withdrawn at the earliest possible mo-
ment.
The American delegation regards the
agreement as the best possible solution
of the far Eastern problem to be OBJ
tanned without risking break similar
to that which resulted in the italian
delegation leaving Paris. Confidence Is
felt that the League of Nations, which
will have control over the future rela-
tions between Japan and China and
which will guarantee the future terri
torial integrity and independence of
China, will be sufficiently strong to cafe
guard Chinese interests and insure the
return of all Chinas rights in the Shan
tung province.
President Wilson and Premers Lloyd
George and Clemenceau are espe-
cially eager for the withdrawal OF allied
troops from all enemy colonies and are
confident that the League OF Nations
can speedily solve pending disputes when
military pressure is eliminated.

gram to Charles E. Hughes, president OF

The Italo-American Union, in this
grave moment which has come In the
relations between peoples, wishes to
reaffirm It's hope and faith in the
Interchangeable concord between the
two great free peoples of America
and Italy"
The Gtorndte dTt1lid says that in
political circles the meeting was con-
sidered to be very important. Although
the italian delegates maintain strict re-
serve, 1t seems conclusive that Italy
will-not make any further move unless
the allied and associated governments
first agree among themselves on a
united proposal which likely would be
acceptable to this country, harmonizlng
with the verdict of the italian people
made through Parliament
The Italian delegation to the Peace

elder the situation. The meeting came

Possibility of Decrease.

As the League OF Nations becomes es-
tablished, Mr.. Daniels added, the naval
police force certainly would be decreased
in proportion to the strength OF the
league.

called the cooperation OF Admiral Chi
chester and Commodore Dewey at
Manila Bay. of which this day was the
twenty first anniversary. He confidently
predicted that the cooperation of the
British and American navies would con-
tinue. Without the League OF Nations
Britons must realize that the United
States has problems similar 10 those OF
Great Britain.

luncheon. The Duke of Connaught pro-
posed and Viscount Bryce, formerly Am
bassador to the United States. seconded
the health of Secretary Daniels. Am

it as we sell it is the best way to
proceed. AS soon as we can see

War Departmet to release the food
on the plan suggested.
There Is no disposition to criticise
the Federal authorities on any matter
connected with the price or quality
of the food. The main thing Is 10
get the food as quickly as possible

CITY CAN GET BENEFIT
OF ARMY FOOD SALE BY
EVENING WORLD PLAN
CONTINUED From First Page.)

the Government. Thus. the Govern
ment would practically fix the total !
cost from its warehouses TO the con-
sumer. Any deviation from the prices
fixed by the Government should re-
suit in the offender being denied the
privilege Of handling any part OF the
foodstuffs owned by the Government.
The large wholesale meat houses
are now handling hams, bacons, and
other fresh meats at 70 cents per hun
dred pounds by the carload, and there
is no reason why these same houses
could not handle the Government
foods on the same basis OF cost. Only
houses equipped with desirable re-
frigerating plants would be capable OF
rendering this service. We may cfe
the following as an example; The
roasting chickens cost the Govern
ment from 80 10 4U cents a pound ana
IL the Government demanded bO per
cent. OF the cost price, which wouId
be a fair return, the cost To the dis
tributer for poultry would range from
~ TO 81 cents a pound. IL We add D
per cent. 70 this for distribution the
retailer would pay 3lh cents a pound,
and he could make a fair profit oy
selling II 20 the consumer at 35 cents
pound. There is little or no waste
IN this grade OF poultry.
Distributed In this fashion the re-
suit would be, first fair return TO
the Government second, an ample
margin Of proht tor the wholesaler
and retailer-and third, the house
wife would be able TO buy, say a fancy
roasting chicken, at 80 cent? pound,
OF about 10 TO 20 cents a pound less
than the same grade is retailing for
in the principal meat markets OF the
city. Hams and bacon can be distri-
outed even more economically than
| poultry.
The reason l advance this sugges-
| tion Is this: First, that the Govern
ment must have definite assurance Of
the proper distribution OF this supply
/ in order TO get Il TO the consumer at
| reduced prices: second, that the city,
| however willing, Is not equipped 20
ethciently protect and distribute such
a large supply of perishab.5 food
stutts Ii is true that the city might
handle the less perishable cereals and
package goods with considerable sue
cess, because these require less eX-
pert knowledge. The city's success
! In this direction may be measured by
the results obtained in the effort to
handle u few cars Of eggs and a few
hundred barrels OF fish. Both prod
ucts were practically wasted before
they reached the consumer.
As a practical and effective solu-
ton Of this problem OF distribution
The Evening World herewith submits
and recommends the plan described
above TO Secretary OF War Baker,
who has labored necessarily TO ac-
celerats the movement of this eX-
cellent variety OF foodstuffs for the
benefit OF the housewives OF the
country.
