How East Shot Travels.

When standing within few yards
Of a guns muzzle at the time of dis
charge, a person would be amazingly
astonished were he only able to see
the shot go whizzing by. Experiments
in instantaneous photography prove
that the shot not only spread out,
cometlike, as they fly, but they string
out, one behind another at q much
greater distance than they spread.
Thus, with cylinder gun, when the
shot of a charge reaches a target that
is 40 yards away, the last shot is lag
ging full ten yards behind. Even a
chokebore gun shot will lag behind
eight yards in 40. This accounts for
the wide swath that is moved in q
flock of ducks on which charge Of
shot falls just right. About per cent
only of the shot, according to the most
reliable deductions from experiments,
arrive simultaneously at the target
aimed at, the others tagging in the
ratio named above.

At Canton, the oldest city in south
ern China, the river is. in effect, canal
lied, and the shipping is heavy and
varied. The water is deep enough for
ships of 1000 tons burden as far as
the city, but foreign boats come up
only as far as Whampoa, nine miles
to the southeast, where there are ex-
tensive docks. Here the loading and
unloading is done by native boats.
Vessels of deep draft lie outside the
baH. Forty miles below is the BOca
Tigris Mouth of the Tiger), and the
water widens into a wide estuary. Wa
ter divides the old from the new town
and surrounds the island and the sub
urbs, where the Europeans live, so
that Canton has an abundance of pic
turesque water life. including big
hOuseboat population.

Alleged Brutalities of Officers
Convict Four.

Lieutenant F. H. Smith, known in
the army as Hard Boiled" Smith,
two other officers and one enlisted
man were convicted of cruelties to
American army prisoners m

war department.
The special house war invest1gat-
ing committee which yesterday read
war department records showing
that three commissioned and five
non-commissioned officers had been
court martialed because or
brutalities in handling American
prisoners at camps in and near
Paris, today were considering the
advisability of calling additional
witnesses.
The records submitted to the
committee yesterday by General
March, chief of staff, gave the first
official confirmation to reports of
cruel treatment by their own offic-
ers of American soldiers in France,
which have created an indignant
stir in congressional circles.

while only officers of lower grades
were convicted and their superior
officers allowed to go free, the In

developed, may take a turn to de-
velop the truth or falseness of
these assertions.

ROBINSON ACTS
IN DEFENSE OF
SHANTUNG DEAL
Senator Declares That
Provision is Generally
Misrepresented.

Washington, July 24.-The SEN
ate had in store another day OF
debate on the treaty and the League
of Nations. Three senators had
given notice they would speak to-
day on the peace treaty, Senators
Lenroot, Republican of Wisconsin
and Fletcher, Democrat of Florida,
discussing the League Of Nations,
and Senator Robinson. Democrat
of Arkansas, the Shantung provi-
sion.
Declaring the treaty provision
giving Japan control in Shantung
had been repeatedly misinterpret-
ed and generally misunderstood, "
Senator Robinson, Democrat, Ar
kansas, told the senate today it was
unjust to suspect Japan's motives
or to question the declaration of
her statesmen that the territory
eventually would be restored to
China. ''It has been stated by one
senator" said Mr.. Robinson, that
by the treaty Shantung with it's
100000 inhabitants is wrested
from China and presented to Japan.
The territory involved in this con-
troversy is limited to a small land
area of approximately 200 square
miles and an equal water area.
The total population of the leased
area is pproximately 10000.
Can Not Cancel All Treaties.
at is said China was induced
by fear of war with Japan to enter
into the treaty of 1915 agreeing
to whatever arrangements Japan
might make with Germany But
every commercial treaty of impor-
tance now in force between China
and European nations is the result
of war or some other force of
duress. If we go back into history
and invalidate every treaty into
which duress has entered, chaos in
international relations will result.
Senators have expressed indig-
nation at the agreement of Great
Britain and France during the war,
to support Japan in her demands
at the peace conference. Perhaps
the same criticisms apply equally
to the action of the United States
following these agreements in
recognizing the special interests of
Japan in China.
Calls Policy Wise and Just.
1t is said they were all made
primarily to encourage Japan to
increased activities in the war.
The crisis of the war was approach
ing, if not at hand. The allies were
straining every resource to beat
back the ever-increasing forces of
the enemy. 1 believed then and
l still believe that the policy by
which Japan was cemented to the
allies was both just and wise. The
influences now at work to cause
China to hold out do not appear
calculated to result in benefit to
either China or this country"
