|CHAMBERLAIN-KAHN BILL
is DESCRIBED AS CRUDE
Military Training Plan Opposed by
Committee of National Guard
Association.

The Chamberlain-Kahn bill propos-
ing six months compulsory military
training for all youths between the
ages Of eighteen and twenty-six was
characterized as crude and incom-
plete" and patterned after the ''Prus-
sian system" in a statement issued
here yesterday by the organisation
of the National Guard Asso-
citation Of the United States, OF which
Col John D. Rose is chairman.
The effect of the bill. particularly
the provision to create a home
guard Or an organization which
those who had completed training
might enter as an alternative to be-
ing subject to a years peace-time
service in the Army would be to
destroy the National Guard" the
statement said. The provision for u
years service in the Regular Army
after training was criticised as
meaning transcription for our citf-
zens in time of peace" The cost Of
the system, estimated in the state
ment at between one and a half and
two billion dollars annually, the COM
mittee declared to be prohibitive. The
plan was branded as "Prussianistic"
because it puts the whole system
under control Of regulations to be
adopted by the general staff"

PEKING, China, August 22.-Japan's
published intention of making Using
tau an international settlement is con-
sidered a method of throwing dust
into foreign eyes. Recently Japan's
investigation commissioner called a
meeting Of Tsingtau merchants and
business men. They expressed the
hope that Japan would hold Tsingtau
under all circumstances. The commits
sioner informed them that they must
not be surprised if their wishes were
not fulfilled, as it was the govern

a foreign one and a Chinese one.
The merchants declared that it was
useless to cut up the place in this
manner and that it would be better
to form an international settlement.
provided that the numerous japanese
rights were protected.
"Rights" Explained.
These rights consist in permission
being given to- spectators to pur-
the German government. which. If
Shantung were properly returned,
would naturally be handed over to
China. These purchases were made
and improvements carried out in the
belief that the Japanese government
would support their claims. Owing
to continual opposition this IL an i'm
possibility, and for this reason the
Japanese desire to negotiate only with
China. The fact that Japan intends
to return the wharves, electric light
stations, street cars and other public

an International settlement an impos-
sibility. Without these utilities there
would be no revenue for it's mainte-
nance. The upkeep of 40 miles of
roadway, policing and other munich
pal charges would require prohibitive
taxation. Japan's 10000 citizens
have bought up or occupied every
available land site.
