Y. M. c. A. WAR WORK
EXTOLLED BY PERKINS.

New York, May George w.
Perkins, chairman of the finance
committee of the Young Mems
Christian association, made public
here tonight his report as investi-
gator into the deficiency and service
Of the organization overseas.
THE Y. M. C. A. undoubtedly
made mistakes" Mr.. Perkins said
"But what it tried to do was to
respond to every call that the army
made on it. 1t did not sidestep
any task that it was asked to per-
form.
THAT the Y. M. C. A. workers as
a whole were brave and unselhsh is
shown by the fact that IA secre-
taries were killed and 126 others
were wounded" he declared.
Regarding the charge of prof.
teering in supplies, Mr.. Perkins re-
port said:
"The statement has been fire.
quently made that the Y. M. c. A.
charged higher prices for canteen
supplies than the army did. This
was true at certain periods, when
the cost of transportation was ex-
ceedingly high and when it was inn
possible to determine costs ac-
curately. But the final results OF
the Y. M. c. A. canteen service
will show a substantial loss"

URGE DOUGLAS
COUNTYTOPAVE
CENTER STREET
Saunders County Delegation
Asks Paved Road to River;
Organize Campaign for
New Bridge.

A delegation of 80 citizens of
Saunders county met yesterday
with the Douglas county commits
sioners and presented their argu-
ment for paving Center street from
Omaha to the Platte river.
Saunders county will do its part
to build bridge across the Platte
river at the end of the Center
street road" said State Senator E.
E. Placek. "All we want is the
assurance of Douglas county that
Center street will be paved.
THE hauling business by truck
is growing by great leaps. We want
this bridge and paved road for the
good of Omaha and of Saunders
county because the hauling of live
stock and farm products by truck
to Omaha and the hauling back of
merchandise from Omaha to the
farms is becoming more and more
the rule. We intend to build for
the benefit of the farming and in
dustrial interests, qot for the JOY
riders"
All the county commissioners
spoke and told the Saunders county
people that Douglas county will un-
doubedly pave Center street to meet
the bridge after being assured that
the bridge will be built The COM
nissioners said they had heard tha.
Saunders county was financially un-
able to pay its share toward build
ing the bridge at this time.
Organize for Bridge.
The state pays half the cost of
the. bridge and Douglas and .Saun-
ders counties pay one-fourth each.
Douglas county, the commissioners
said, is ready to pay its share of
building the bridge at any time.
The Saunders county delegation
declared that their county is able to
pay it's share toward building the
bridge, which share will be about
$4,000. They suggested that the
commissioners give them a room to
hold a meeting in. Within Is min
utes they had organized an associa-
ton, the object of which is to per-
suade the commissioners of Saun-
ders county and the residents to
get busy" and appropriate the
money to pay Saunders county's
share of building the bridge.
E. E. Placek was elected presi-
dent of the association and R. H.
Parks secretary. The following ex-
ecutive committee was elected: J..
M. Lambert, Wahoo; George Heldt,
Yutan; Eland Johnson, Meade; AL

OF
TREATY TO
BE GIVEN
TO WORLD
Foch Holds Security to France
Inadequate; Italy, China
and Portugal Make
Reservations.
(By the Associated Press.)

All is in readiness for the pre-
sentation Wednesday afternoon Of
the peace treaty to Germany.
The small powers have been ap-
prised of the contents of the mo-
mentous document, and all that re-
mains is to call the German dele
gates before the peace congress at
Versailles and hand to them the
treaty.
The terms admittedly will be hard
for Germany. but it is asserted that
there is but one road for her to fol-
low if she is to obtain the return Of
peace and the chance to rehabilitate
herself economically. Acquiescence
even to a demand for the trial Of
their former imperial master. Will
liam Hohenzollern, which is under
stood to have been incorporated in
the treaty is to be Required.
Reports say the complete econ
omic isolation of the country is be-
ing considered if Germany should
decline to affix its signature to the
treaty.
Dissent Among Powers.
There is still dissent among the
allied and associated powers over
some provisions of the treaty. Chief
among the objectors is Italy, with
Fiume and the Dalmatian coast the
point in dispute. Italy's chief dele
gates to the peace conference did
not visit Versailles Tuesday after.
noon when the treaty was read to
the smaller powers, but are expect
ed to be present Wednesday. Their
credentials already have been hand
ed to the Germans. The Italians
were represented at the Session
Tuesday by Signor Silvio Crespi,
who made reservations concerning
any provisions of the peace treaty
which are not acceptable to Italy.
The Chinese delegates have reit-
Grated their protest concerning the,
disposition of Kiao-C -Chau, and Port
ugal expressed dissatisfaction
against the treatment accorded the
republic.
Terms Opposed by Foch.
Marshal Foch also has expressed
opposition to the treaty as it stands
and declared it to be his opinion
that it should not be signed, as the
military security given France is in
adequate.
The marshal emphasized the
necessity of France holding the
bridge heads along the Rhine and
said that occupation limited to Is
years was not sufficient.
Nevertheless the treaty as formu-
lated is to be placed in the hands
of the Germans according to the lat
est reports from Paris.

7 TRADERS
BY BARNES
Threat to Prohibit Dealing in
Futures Made by Grain Ad-
ministrator in Speech
to Chicago Board.

Chicago, May 6.-Julius H. Barnes,
national wheat administrator, said
in an address today to members
of the Chicago board of trade, that
the act establishing the food admin
istration gave authority to control
trading in foodstuffs on exchanges
to the extent of prohibiting future
trading altogether.
He said the act was still III effect
and that his duty was Imperative if
demonstrated abuse should arise.
Mr.. Barnes questioned frankly
whether fuctuation in corn prices
such as took place in Chicago yes
terady, rapid break of lC or II
cents followed by quick reaction
of 5 to E cents, was not clear
indication of speculation on so large
scale that it was over-balancing
legitimate functions.
Touch of Dramatic in Scene.
There was touch of the dramati
in the appearance of Mr.. Barnes in
the quotations room of the trading
floor, for yesterday was not the
first time that an utterance of Mr..
Barnes has upset the calculations
of traders. -...-.
The crowd was bullish yesterday
and building thereon with due con-
sideration to muddy roads, rain and
other factors making for higher
prices. Their buying had run the
price to a new high record for the
crop, when out of the clear sky there
came from Minneapolis Mr.. Barnes
statement that wheat was to be inn
ported in moderate quantities from
Canada.
Prices dropped 10 to II cents and
there were among Mr.. Barnes lis
teners today many who lost money
in the slump. They regarded him
as one who had thrown a monkey
wrench into the machinery, al
though Mr.. Barnes had given ample
warning a week or so before that
he would take just such action if
speculation in flour was not curbed.
Many members of the board pres
ent today knew the grain dictator
personally, but to more he was a
stranger. When his tall, athletic
figure appeared, a whisper went
around:
why, he's young, isn't he?"
Mr.. Barnes, it was admitted, is
the biggest figure in the grain trade
of the world by reason of his po-
sition, and the traders noted his
youngish look and his healthy crop
of light brown hair with surprise
and interest.
Sympathizes With Losers.
Before, the government drafted
him Mr.. Barnes was keen trader
himself, and phases of his speech
indicated that he sympathized with
the feelings of those who had been
hit. Nevertheless, he warned them
with "half the world in chaos" as
he phrased it, business must be tenn
pered with sentiment. To one who,
like himself, had visited Belgium, the
sentiment came overwhelmingly.
II know that the food administra-
tor relies on the officers of this ex-
change, and others. to protect this
situation in the public interest, and

AMERICA
Newspaper Agitation Inciting
Bitterness Toward U. s.;
Wilson Denounced as
"Hypocrite" and "Despot."

Toxic, May by the Associ-
ated Press)-The anti-American
campaign in the Japanese press con-
tinues with renewed force. No Sc
rieus overt acts have been COM
mitted against Americans or Amer
ican property, but evidence exists
that the newspaper agitation is in
citing popular feeling against Amer
lea and thus paving the way to pos
sible open demonstrations.
Representative Japanese deplore
the press campaign and have begun
to criticise the government for its
failure. to check the literary out
bursts.
The participants in a mass meet
ing held Sunday, at which some
anti-American speeches were deliv-
cred, announced their intentions OF
continuing the demonstration in
front of the American embassy. The
police, however, prevented this step.
Fear U. S. Influence.
The belief is expressed that the
basis for the agitation is fear Of the
growing influence of the United
States in international affairs and
that it will act as a curb on Japan's
aspirations in China and Siberia.
After declaring that renewed at
tempts for anti-Japanese legislation
on the Pacific slope indicate that the
Americans persecute Japan in every
thing, while wearing the mask of
liberty and fairness, the Hochi Shin
bun charges the Americans with hav-
ing incited the Chinese to make the
secret treatiespublic and also accuse
American missionaries of fomenting
the Korean insurrection. :.
Denounce Wilson.
The Yorodzu Chodo says the
Americans responsible for attempts
at anti-Japanest legislation are moth
ing better than barbarians.
"Hypocrite," "despot," trans
formed kaiser" "man with the voice
of an angel, but with ideas of the
devil' are some of the epithets ap-
piled by the newspapers to Presi-
dent Wilson.
Today's newspapers print articles
accusing Americans and British in
China with melting the Chinese to
the recent Chinese-Japanese agita-
ton in Peking.
At a meeting of the Kokuminto
party held in Osaka, resolution
was passed declaring that recogni-
ton of the Monroe doctrine by the
league of nations should be interpre-
ted as recognition of Japan's pre-
dominance in the far east.
