IRspubIlean A. ?. Leased wirsl


 WASHINGTON Aug. 1S.-At con ference in some respects unparalleled in American history, President Wilson will talk over the peace negotiations and the treaty with the senate foreign relations committe tomorrow at the White House.
 By virtue of extraordinary plans to inform the public of every word. that is spoken. the meeting will have the aspect of an open forum discussion at which the whole nation can look on.
 Committee Seeks information
 As head of the American peace dele gation and one of the inner circle which formulated the world settle ment at Versailles. the president is to be asked the meaning and purpose of provisions of the league of nations covenant, the reasons behind the de- eision to give Japan control in shan ,ung province, just what part the United States is td take in recon struction and many other questions raised in senate consideration of the treaty.
 Whether Mr. Wilson will answer full ly in so public manner all the ques- tions put to him, or will consider that some of the information he received at the peace table should be held in con- fidence as a matter of national policy. remains conjeetural But the commit tee members means to give him the opportunity :. ae chooses to tell the whole of sthe inside story behind tie treaty.
 Today the committee heard it's full direct account of the Shantung nego- tiations from Thomas F. Willard. an American writer who acted as adviser to the Chinese peace delegation. He said the settlement was reached after the Japanese had virtually threatened to bolt the conference but he added that President Wilson seemed to be alone in considering the threat mare than pure bluff"
 Shantuns Proviso Meant War
 All the American experts on far eastern affairs at ' srsailles MT. Mil- lard declared, agreed that the settle ment meant war. He had heard that a similar view was expressed in the letter from General Bliss to the presi- dent which the latter has declined to send to the senate as a matter of pub lie policy. The United States, the wit ness asserted. could not avoid being drawn into such war.
 Has No Moral Obii9ations
 Mir. Willard gave it as his personal view, based on 20 years experience with far eastern politics. that Japan never would leave Shantung until she was confronted with "a superior force" Asked whether he meant a superior moral force imposed by the league If nations, he replied:
 T mean material force. Japan does not care a snap of her fingers for moral force
 During the day the strategic posi- tions of the opposing forces in the treaty ratification fight in the senate showed no sign of change but there was another outburst of debate during which Senator Borah, republican, Ida ho, declared that news abroad was be- ing suppressed by British and French news agencies while the senate is being whipped to ratify the treaty be- fore the facts are known

THE SAD STORY IF
 "PORKY' TIE PETS
 TRIUMPHANT DEATH

Poor old "Porky" has passed on to wherever porcupines do pass, and sad Is the tale thereof.
 He was a pet, was Porky, cuddled and fed by the state game warden and his deputies. living in a pen at the fair grounds. Perhaps ''cuddled" is not the proper terms to apply. since DOT cuines are inclined to be spiny, but anyway, he was pet.
 In spite of his many attendants and their many attentions. however, Porky got a srouch- Perhaps it was because he had a sirloin appetite which was whetted by about 40 cents worth of hamburger per day, or possibly he did rot care for the somewhat yellow ap- pearance of Deputy Asch's joy wagon. Anyway, he became surly, and insisted upon rolling himself into a prickly ball and issuing grunts and defiance when ever his admirers came in the neigh Eorhood.
 Now it is admitted that the only way that a porcupine can make up for his unattractive personal appearance is by assuming a friendly not to say iovial. attitude, and this he steadfast ly refused to do.
 Thus it came about that Game War | den Prochaska became annoyed at the persistent hostility of his pet. and decided to make him the feature ot a porcupine dinner.
 Pursuant to this design Porky was put through the following rigid regi- men:
 First he was fed for a couple ot weeks on potatoes and apples, to i'm prove the flavor.
 Then he was carefully slaughtered by the severance of the jugular vein 1 The skin was removed, and. spines l and all. sent to a taXidermist to bt

 That statement though seems to be argument in favor of recognition of bad government which has been up, either with the consent of majority of the Russian people by a powerful and active minority. We declined we believe, without good reason to recognize the Huerta government in Mexico, probably the only government Mexico has had in eight years that could with our recognition, have restored Those who criticised refusal pointed out that was of how foreign government originated just it estab- lished gave promise of establishment.

It stated that the issue was the Ieaere of Nations hence the result was. riunopb for that principle. The president sent a message to the suc cessfu candidate congratuating him upon his victory that issue
 The fact is that in the brief campaign the Ieague of Nations had not been discussed One of the candi dates in newspaper advertisement vaguely alluded to H and the voters probably did not know how either of the candidates stood with respect to it.
 The reason of the election of the democratic can didae is this The district is composed of the conn ties of Butler and westmoreland Both counties are strongly republican, the latest republican congress- man having been elected by majority of more than 1000 There was agreement of long standing be- 'ween the two counties that republican candidates should oe chosen from them alternately in this way.
