The punitive expedition is making the

Nine bandits said to be part of the
Renteria band we're captured at Coy
anne, in a dance hall, by Carranza
forces. Reports that Jesus Renteria,
leader of the bandits, had been killed
were brought to the border, but could
not be confirmed.
1t was announced at Southern de-
partment headquarters that the re-
quest of General Pruneda, Carranza
commanders, for aViators to scout in
the vicinity OF Palomas, where IL band
of Vilhstas were reported, would not
be granted. The reason for the re-
fusal. it was stated, was that the
troops went into Mexico solely for the
bandits who captured and held Lieu
tenants Davis and Peterson, and they
were not sent for the purpose of pur-
suing any other bandits.

that the Japanese in Shantun'g We're
as strongly opposed to internationaliza-
ton as were the Japanese at home.
He admitted that the japanese in
tended to run the wharves and other
public utilities. but when l pointed
out that it would be impossible for any
settlement in which foreigners have
an interest to exist without revenue
from these utilities. he said it was
his opinion that Japan must set apart

Mr.. McCUMBER EXPLAINS
HIS VOTE ON SHANTUNG
Declares Japan's Refusal to Give
Treaty Approval Would Be
Detrimental to China.

Senator McCumber republican. who
voted with the democrats in the for
eign relations committee on the
Shantung amendment, has issued a
statement explaining his vote.
IF japan was deprived Of the priv
ilege of giving to China as the fruits
Of her victory the victorious posses
sion of the rights held by Germany"
said Senator McCumber. "a high
spirited people would be affronted
and Japan would refuse to complete
her membership in the league of ma
tions by refusing to ratify the treaty
In this event japan would inevitably
impose more severe conditions which
China would be powerless to resist
The only course then open would be
to use force. and Japan would meet
force with force"
As to economic interests which
Japan might retain in Shantung, the
North Dakota senator declared that
China for the first time was secured
from economic exploitation under the
league of nations covenant.

Damage Done by Boycott.

Mr.. Yoshisawa admitted that the
Chinese boycott was doing consider
able damage to Japan's business in
terests and that the students move
ment was exerting the greatest influ-
ence. He admitted that more gener-
Gus policy must be adopted toward
China, but said that true adjustment
of the, Shantung question with refer
ence to the interests of foreigners and
Chinese was faced with network of
difficulties, while Japan's internal po-
litical views had also to be consid-
cred
sYoshisawa is a sound and moderate
official. / have known him for many
years and have always found him
broadminded, unmilitaristic and SYM
pathetic toward China, believing that
Japan's future interest rests solely
upon the friendliest relations with
China and that Industrial instead of
territorial expansion should be ia
pans motto.
Baron Uchida's statement concern
ing internationalization was ap-
parently given out to test foreign and
Japanese opinion. kilograms from
Japan show that storm of protest
is raging against the plan, the mill
taristic party desiring to secure the
whole of Shantung's mineral and in
dustrial assets.
Leased by Germany.
The advertised intention of the
Japanese to restore. Chinese SOW
ereignty over Shantung Is regarded
here with amusement. It may be
suitable for foreign propaganda, but
students of far eastern politics know
that China meyer has given up. her
sovereignty in>the province. Germany
leased the Shantung territory for. q
definite PERIOD. the stipulation being
made that China still retained her
sovereign rights there. Since the
Japanese have occupied the district
they have usurped the railway and
mining rights, some of the latter
never having been claimed even by
the Germans. These the Japanese in
tend to hand back, this making the
world think that concessions are be-
ing made, while Japan retains every
thing Of value. Past history has
shown that every time the Japanese
have given out that they were max
ing a concession there was some sim
lister move behind it.

based on a communication from F. ].
Youngblood, as follows:
Honduras is country of hills and

and small rivers. A half-dozen rivers
may be crossed in onasday, and. while
they are usually narrow and shallow,

into roaring torrents. absolutely i'm

and the government becomes stable.
Then there will be great opportunities
here for many, and Americans and

P0L|CE-LAB0R ISSUE
INTERESTS NATION
Non-Affiliation Decision Ap-
piled to District Likely
to Be Far-Reaching.
EXPLANATION OF PURPOSE
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

Should the police of the United
States be permitted to affiliate with
labor unions? Several cities are an
swering this question nowadays, but
the federal government has just had
an opportunity to pass on it. And
the decision is naturally Of nation
wide interest, for under the system of
government in the District of Column
bia the President appoints the Com
missioners and their acts are in ef-
feet his acts. Commissioner Brown
low recently had long conference
with President Wilson on District af-
fairs and it is inconceivable that so
vital decision as that announced by
Mr.. Brownlow would be taken with
out consulting the White House.
Back of the question, of course, lies
the possibility that if bolshevism is
ever to take hold in America and
the soviet ideas are to prevail, a pow
erful weapon in the hands of radical
leaders would be their afhliation with
the police in all parts of the country.
The American Federation of Labor at
it's June meeting sanctioned the grant
of charters to policemen's unions and
these have been already organized in
twenty-one cities.
