Against Treaty Thruout Germany.
by Associated Press.1

Important developments have oc-
CURED in connection with the ef-
forts to settle the Italian problem
before the Paris peace conferees.
Primarily the Italians have agreed
to relinquish their claims upon
the Dodocanese islands, off the
coast of Asia Minor, IN favor of
GREECE.
Italy has been claiming these
islands by virtue of treaty rights
acquired after the ltalo-Turkish
war. altho the islands are largely
Greek in. population. The settle
ment Of this controversy is re-
garded as a long step toward the
solution of the Italian problem as
a whole and the conferences
among the peace conference lead
ers are being continued today with
a hopeful tone pervading the re-
ports Of the discussion.
The peace treaty with Austria
has been further whipped into
shape and 1t was made known to-
day that an indemnity Of 100000
gold marks would be demanded
from Austria in the document.
This, means q sum Of approximate
ly $1,250, ,000, ,0G0 or one-twentieth of
the $4,000, 100000 Germany is re-
Quired to pay.
Pope Benedict has taken steps to
communicate with the head Of
one of the most important delega-
tions at the peace conference" in
an effort to secure a revision OF
the terms Of the treaty Of peace,
according to dispatch from Rome.
The pontiff, it is said, was begged
to take this step by the Catholic
prelates Of Germany, 1t being re-
ported yesterday that Cardinal
Hartman, of Cologne, had appealed
to the vatican. Whom the pope
will address is not indicated in the
dispatch.
In the meantime, mass demon
strations of protest are being held
tiiruout Germany. In Berlin an
immense throng assembled before
the reichstag building Thursday
and adopted resolutions dcnouncing
the treaty which Germany Is asked
to sign. In Hamburg the same day
a crowd gathered outside the head
quarters Of the American mission
in that city and made a demon
stration against the treaty.
The Hungarian official press bu-
reau at Budapest, according to
news agency message, reports the
receipt of Russian soviet tele-
gram stating the Ukrainian red
army has defeated the Roumant-
ans who are fleeing along the
Dneister river front. 1t is In this
region that the Russian bolshe-
Wiki forces have been trying to

ARKANSAS DIAMOND
 FIELD TO BE WORKED
Tea Million Dollar Company Organ ized in New York for Its
 Development.

Little Rock, Oct. 1.-The Arkansas diamond fields are to be systematical- Y mined with modern machinery. The work will begin, it is announced, about January 1.
 A corporation capitalized at $l0,- 000,000 has just been organized in New York to take over the stock of the Arkansas Diamond Company which owns extensive properties in the Pike county diamond country, Fifty-two per cent of the stock will be owned in Arkansas and the remain der by eastern capitalists.
 Diamonds were first discovered in Arkansas in 1906. The .ciliInneys' in which they were found were like those of South America and were filled with peridotite, which is closely akin to the South African kimberlite. The first year 40 diamonds were taken out, ranging from 1-6I to 6 carats. Phe mines had turned out about 5000 diamonds up to 1918 of a value of about s20.00O.
 OuN ol tue stones IOund Tn lJIo ana mentioned in the annual report of the U. & Geological Survey was canary eole-ea aetalledron weighing I7.S5 carats. This is the third largest dia- mond ever found in the United States, one of 23A carats having been found n Virginia in 1885, and another of Zi% earats in Wisconsin in 1886. An other diamond of II carats was found m the Arkansas mines in 1918.
 If under up-to-date mining methods, the Arkansas chimneys should yield diamonds in quantities in any way comparable to the output of the South African fields, they will become the richest mining properties on the American continent and convert their owners into millionaires overnight, The present popular demand for dia- monds all over the world is unprece- aentea in history and prices are the highest ever known. Good diamonds sell today at from $500 to $550 carat ana the larger stones of fine quality Dring as high as $1 ,000 a carat.

JAPAN NEEDS MORE ROOM"
Demands for Racial Equality" Insist.
 ent. Paper Says.

Washington, Sept. 29.--Japan's de- mands for more room to grow" and "racial equality" are daily becoming more insistent, according to reports reaching here from the Orient. The Herald of Asia, leading Japanese American propagandist publication, says, Japan must expand, and holds that the logical territories for her to occupy are Australia, Canada and Russia.
 Every nation should have enough territory the Herald says says, .to to work out it's own type of civilization. China has enough and India enough. and the United States has enough Russia, Canada and Australia have too much and Japan, alone, has too little.
 Would Be Act of Humanity
 { if If internationaiism is to mean any thing 1t must mean justice, and justice demands that those who can help oth- CTS in need must do so. If Japan has not enough territory to give her peo- pie proper breathing room, is it not an act of humanity to give her room in those sections of the world where territory is ample?
 Japan has no desire to overrun ter ritory already occupied or to occa- sion overcrowding in other countries. In this world there is room for all and to spare.
 With the progress of Japan and the awakening of the people of Asia, comes consciousness of the fact that the earth's surface is now occupied very disproportionately to the popula- tion of the different races.
 Says Emigration Laws Unjust.
 Mine hundred millions of Asiatics are compelled to be content with a territory one-sixth of that owned, all tho more sparsely settled, by 600 mil lion Europeans, and these 900 million Orientals are denied freedom of em- igration to the largely unoccupied spaces controlled by the white races,
 "Is this just and right? Japan, with territory of 20,00o square miles less than California and a population of 57 million, and a density of $50 per square mile, increasing at rate of A of a million yearly. How it is pos sible for her to remain indifferent to the question of equality in those coun- tries to which people desire to emi- grate."
