Practically all American built trucks have
t-en strongly influenced by the London
General Omnibus design, but the Clydes-
dale Is the only truck in which all Of the
experience Of the L. G. o. Company in
building trucks has been available.
Clydesdale Trucks are handled in New

a concern whose principals have built up
an enviable reputation in New York for
rendering conscientious, faithful service

The Clydesdale Truck, plus the Clydes-

DECIDE POINT IN
CHINESE ISSUE
Japan to Insist on Exclusion of
ManChuria and Mongolia
From ConS0rtium.
BASIS FOR NEW FARLEY
Bankers Urge Acceptance Of
U. S. Proposal, but Military
Groups Oppose It.

Toxic, Aug. 24.-(A. PIT Is re-
ported that at It's meeting yesterday
the imperial cabinet, upholding the
opinions advanced by the military
element in the government, decided
to insist upon the exclusion Of Man
churia and Mongolia from the con-
sortium by which the United States,
Great Britain, France and Japan will
assume a dominant position in the
finances of China, 1t is said. that me-
gotiations will be resumed with the
powers on that basis.
The Asahi Shimbun says that Wis.,
count Uchida, foreign minister spoke
in favor Of Japans unconditional en-
trance into the consortium, explain
ing that IL Manchuria and MONGOLIA
were excluded from the scope Of the
agreement 1t might be interpreted as
showing Japanese designs on China
and might obstruct loans which are
urgently needed by China, He Is re-
ported to have expressed the belief
that such an impression would be
inimical to the interests of Japan
and might place the nation in a po-
sition of complete isolation, adding
that on the contrary Japan's uncon-
ditlonal adherence would remove sus-
picions on the part Of China and the
powers concerning Japan's supposed
as a result Of the ac-
QUESTION of important interests.
1t Is understood that leading bank
ers now are urging the acceptance of
the American proposal. but the mill
tary groups fear to jeopardize special
political interests in Manchuria and
He is said to have declared 1t was
necessary to guard Japanese prefer
entail rights and her privilege Of eco
nomic emigration for military rea-
sons, including national defense. An
other member Is reported to have
ironically remarked that if Japan
continued making concessions to
other powers she would eventually be
obliged to abandon even Korea"
Considerable attention Is paid by
the press to the popularity of Ad-
miral Baron Minoru Saito, the new
governor of Korea, and his liberal
ism also is given special prominence,
but regrets are expressed that a
civilian was not appointed governor,
as the disturbances in Korea were
1ue to military rule. At best the ap-
pointment of Admiral Saito is re-
Sarded as a compromise and conf
lence is expressed that he will inau-
5urate extensive reforms.

Folk Likens England's
Deed to That of Robber
Versailles Treaty Proposes to
Validate "Highwayman's"
Record in Egypt.

Washington, Aug. 25.-Likening
Great Britain's position in Egypt to
that of a highwayman, Joseph w.
Folk, counsel for the Egyptian peace
delegation, told the senate foreign re-
lations committee today that the Yer
sailles treaty proposed to validate the
robbery OF Egyptian Independence
Having occupied Egypt after con-
struction Of the Suez canal under the
preteXt of protecting the Egyptians
from rebels, Mr.. Folk said, Great
Britain, in 1914, seized the Egyptian
government and now proposed un-
der the treaty, to reduce her to
subject nation" The treaty, he said,
would make Egypt's grievance
against Great Britain an interna-
tlonal question so it could not be
dealt with by the league Of nations.
The people Of Egypt" the witness
declared, want a league Of nations
which will protect their independence
and not destroy it. They ask you not
TO deny them that self determination
Tor which more than 1,0OO,0 900 Egyp-
tians fought in the war Just ended"
The delegation sent to the Paris
conference by the Egyptian repre-
sentative assembly, Mr.. Folk said,
were held in virtual imprisonment"
and were not permitted to even send
representative to the United States.
He declared the protectorate claimed
by Great Britain over Egypt was the
same sort of protectorate that high
wayman would claim over your
pocketbook."
Great Britain repeatedly had
nIPdPn6 M
cupation of Egypt would be tempo
rary' and he asked that a clause
be written into the treaty giving
Egypt the right to appeal to the
league council. Republican members
OF the committee suggested, however,
that the league was to be controlled
by the same powers as made the
treaty and that Great Britain's rights
in EgTit already had been recognized
formally by the American state de-
partment.
Referring to the outbreaks against
British rule in Egypt, Mr. Folk said
Great Britain had suppressed" the
news Of what was taking place and
did not want the United States espec-
ially TO learn the facts II It could he
helped. The full committee deferred
action on the report until next Mon
day
Mr.. Folk said that after being for
a time at Balta, the Egyptian peace
delegates arrived at Paris. Meantime,
he said the British claims in Egypt
had been passed upon by the con-
ference. He added that the delegates
asked to be heard, but the request
was denied and that they tried to get

ONLY FORCE WILL KEEP
GERMANY SUBJECTED
TREATY FOR DEFENSE OF
FRANCE CONSTITUTIONAL.
Senate Subcommittee Defers
Action on Report Until
Next Monday,

Washington, Aug. 25.-While Ger
many has been vanquished for the
present, nothing but force is likely TO
restrain her from seeking world dom
ination at the earliest opportunity" is
the opinion of the senate subcommis-
sion appointed to report on the valid
ity of the proposed treaty by which
the United States would go to the aid
Of France in the event of an unpro-
voked attack by Germany.
In holding that ratification of the
special defensive treaty Is within the
constitutional powers of the treaty
making bodies Of the American gov
eminent, the subcommittee, in it's re-
port submitted today to the full COM
mittee, said it was for the interest of
the United States that France should
be allowed to recuperate and recover
her old time vigor.
The report was written by Senator
Walsh, democrat, of Montana in col
laboration with Senators Nelson and
Kellogg, both of Minnesota, and Fall,
of New Mexico, republicans, and Sen
ator Ovepman, of North Carolina,
democrat, constituting the subcom-
mittee.
1T will be seen" the report said,
that the covenant only aims at pro-
lection against Germany and that it
is of a temporary character to be
merged in and substituted by the au-
thority of the league of nations when
that is established and put into ope-
ration. AS the armistice covers the
ground between the end of the war
and the ratification of the treaty Of
peace, so the treaty in question aims
to cover the ground from the time of
the adoption OF the treaty to the
league of nations, provided for in the
treaty, can take its place. In other
words, the treaty in question is Of a
temporary character to be merged in
the final treaty Of peace.
such a treaty is clearly warranted
by international law and usage, and
therefore is within the scope Of the
treaty making power of the United
States"
The full committee deferred action
on the report until Monday.

Allies Will Not Deal
With Any of Hapsburgs
Supreme Council at Paris
Sends Note to Hungarian
Government.

Paris, Aug. 25.-(A. P)-The su-
| preme council Saturday night sent
the following note to the Hungarian
government, in which announcement
was made that the council would
have no dealing with a government
headed by Archduke Joseph or any
other member of the Hapsburg fam
| lily:
THE allied and associated powers
have been further considering infor-
nation derived from our reports and
from other sources as to recent
events in Budapest. Their conclusions
are as follows:
"They are most anxious to con-
clude a durable peace with the Hun
garian people, but they feel that this
cannot be done while the present
Hungarian government is in power.
That government came into existence
not by the will Of the people but by
coup d'etat carried out by a small
body Of police under the protection
OF a foreign army.
1T had as its head a member Of
the house of Hapsburg whose poll
cies and actions were largely respon-
sible for the calamities under which
the world Is suffering and will long
suffer. A peace negotiated by such
a government is not likely to be last
ing, nor can the allied and associated
government give the economic sup
port which Hungary needs.
ITO it's reply that Archduke Joseph
is prepared, before approaching the
allied and associated governments, to
submit his claim to the test of pop
ular elections, we must reply that
this procedure cannot he satisfa ctory
II the election Is to be carried out
under the auspices Of an administra-
tion which the archduke himself con-
trolls
THE difficulties in the way OF OBJ
tanning by election a faithful re-
Election OF the popular will are in
the present unhappy state OF Hun
gary most serious. They would be
overwhelming if an election were
carried out under Hapsburg in
fuences Even If an assembly elected
under such circumstances were really
representative no one would think so.
"In the interest therefore. Of Euro
pean peace. the allied and associated
governments mean 10 insist that the
present claimant 10 tho leadership of
the Hungarian state should resign
and that a government In which ali
parties are represented should appeal
TO the Hungarian people.
THE allied and associated powers
would be prepared TO negotiate with
anv government which possessed the
confidence Of an assembly so elected"
The note was signed by Premier
Clemenceau.

had some important evidence against
Tucker, duplicating him in a former
affaiy tof the same character of which
he Ia now charged. The officers in
innate that in the event Tucker is
able to get out of this adventure they
have enough evidence TO convict him
in one or two other cases. However
Tucker has stated that If he gets out
of this he will leave Chattanooga in
an effort to begin life anew and make
amends as much as possible for the
past
1t was stated Monday that the case
of Lieut.. Gray at Fort Oglethorpe
charging misappropriation of funds
had never been settled. 1t is charged
that Gray was tried at the post and
sentenced to three months, but the
record in the case was revived and
sent back for the reason that the
reviewing officers thought the pun
ishment given him was insufficient
and inadequate. 1t was further
learned Monday that in the event
Gray was freed OF the charges now
against him in the state courts he
with be held by the military author-
tiles and tried under the ninety y-sixth
article of war, which provides for the
punishment of any member of the
army conducting himself in a manner
preJudlcal. to the good name of the
military service of the United States.
However, the officers on. the case
admit that they are working on some
hot tips" and may by morning have
other and furfSer dama,grg evidence
against Tucker or Gray, or both. 1t
was stated the statements Of several
nurses at the hospital will be intro
duced tending to prove that no time
during Miss Crawford's illness at the
hospital was she. able. to make
statement or a dying declaration. 1t
is stated that the entire time the
young lady was Ill she was kept un-
der the influence or morphine in or
der to alleviate her suffering.
Just when Chief Hackett will ask
for a continuance of the case Is not
known. Tucker and Gray are both
in the Hamilton county jail, where
they will remain until their trial.

PROPOSES a CENTS
HOUR INCREASE
FOR SHOPMEN

Washington, Aug. 25.-
: esident Wilson today sub
: tilted to representatives of
. ne six railroad shop crafts a
proposal to pay shopmen
about 4 cents an hour in
crease on a basis of ten hours
pay for eight hours work,
retroactive to May l..
The president told the COM
mittee representing the shop
crafts that any greater in
crease now would greatly in
crease the cost of living, and
therefore was inadvisable.
Certain classes of shopmen,
such as car inspectors and car
repairmen who have been re-
ceiving 63 cents and 5S cents,
respectively, would be paid
67 cents an hour under the
proposed scale.
The shipments representa-
tives told the president they
would submit the proposition
to their members, whose orig
inal demands were for an adj
vance of 25 per cent. The
president requested that the
men not act on the original
proposition of having a con-
gressional commission pass
on the wage demands. A vote
of the shopmen on this prop
osition is now being tabu-
lated.
