CHINA DESIRES
TREATY ANNULLED

DISQUALIFICATION OF tho 81 de-
mands made by Japan early in 1915
10 urged BY the Chinese government
In an official statement cabled from
Pekin and received by the Japanese
peace delegation.
The Pekln statement declares that
the Japanese treaties and terms forced
upon China in 1915 should be abro-
gated, because their terms are incom.
patible with the principles upon which
the league of nations is founded"
The statement Is largely in reply 10
o recent statement made by Baron
Maxine OF the Japanese delegation on
the position Of Japan.
Since tho Japanese delegate In
Paris" the Chinese statement says,
has pointedly referred to the 2l de.
mands, II is incumbent upon the Chi
nese government TO draw attention to
the fact that Chinas aequlescence to
terms subyersive OF her own interests
we're secured by means OF an ultima.
tum to which she was forced to yield
because OF the preoccupation of the
rest OF the world In the European war.
II Is a fact that the terms were Inn
posed upon China at the point of the
bayonet. the example followed being
that OF Prussia: the extension for 80
years OF the lease OF Port Arthur and
the South Manchurian railways con.
cessions being precisely the German
shantung terms"

PAINT AND lLLITERAcY.
Curious Fact Comes TO Light That Lo.
ealltles Least Using Books Avoid
Paint Also.

Washington. D. CA curious fact
has been brought to light by the Edu-
cational Bureau and the bureau of In
dustrial Research here, II is that In
the states where llllteracy Is most
prevalent paint is least used The
paint referred TO is the common or
barn variety, OF course. for the back
woods countries have no neeu for the
finer pigments or facial adornments.
il Is true, though. that In the sections
of all states where white llliteracy is
highest painted homes Gre rare and
painted outbuildlngs and barns are
practically unknown. Probably the
illiterates do not use paint on their
buildings because they do not under
stand its value as pTeservative.

WANTS NEW
PARKS NOW
Now Is the Time for City to
Make Purchase of Acre
age and Gather in Some
Unimproved Land.

The city Of East Chicago needs a
larger park acreage. This fact is gen
orally recognized and has been very IA
orably considered by members OF the
park board and the common council for
some time.
Never before in the history OF the city
mas the time been favorable for the pur-
chase of the acreage that the city real
e needs. The corporation has been con
tnually bonded to its limit and there
has been no way to make the purchases
af land needed while that land was on
INC market ct comparatively small
money.
1t is believed By some. however. that
nc time had come when the city should
acquire unimproved pieces of land to
provide for the pleasures and rccrea-
tons of future generations
1t is true that the city already has
rarks that arc unimproved and first
thought it might seem greater wisdom
So improve what we already have rather
Than to acquire more acreage. Tho fall
'acy OF this plan becomes at once aPpar-
ont when ono stops to think of the in
crease in property valuations every year
md of the possibility of losing for all
time some of the sites that arc avail
chile now.
The chamber Of commerce of East
"hicago and Indiana Harbor has ex-
pressed itself on this proposition and
nearly car ago recommended that a
nark be purchased on the north side
- the west end of the city. They are
also in favor of the expansion of Ko-
sciusko park and of provision for the

UNIT BILL

The chamber Of commerce of East
,'hicaEo does not look with favor upon
the county unit bill for the construction
n highways unless II IS modified by
Beardsleys amendment so that the sys-
tenn of highways proposed in the county
may be ratified by vote OF the people.
The bill gives the county commis-
sioners power to improve the roads OF
any township at the expense of the
county at large. In some counties. so
members Of the chamber think. this may

too low to permit of Improvement at

But in Lake county this condition does
not exist The farmers in southern

FROM BLOUNT
IMPORTANT SESSION OF CHAP
TER TO BE HELD NEXT TUES
DAY, SEPT. 2,7P. M.

The Capt Emerson J. Lones Post
No. Is of the American Legion held
a called meeting at the County Court
House Saturday August %, 1919.
Although the meeting was not largely
attended, there was some business
transacted. The charter was pre-
sented by the Charter committee.
The charter was in a handsome frame
which was given to the Post by Mr.,
Ed Harper. A constitutional Com
mittee consisting of Mr.. Wood
Wright, Raymond Perkins and DIR.
Carson was elected and instructed to
report back to the Post at its next
meeting. The next meeting night
was set for Tuesday, September End,
at p. M, at the Court House. At
this meeting the constitution will be
presented, a permanent organization
effected, and preparations made for
the State convention which is to be-
held in Nashville beginning Septem-
Der goth.
One of the most important func-
tions of the American Legion is to
see that all ex-service men know of
their rights and privileges under the
War Risk Insurance Act and other
legislation affecting them in any
way. Many soldiers are disabled
for their former occupations. They
are entitled to compensation for
themselves and families, but in many
cases are not getting this compensa-
ton because they have not applied to
the government for it. Insurance
or allotment troubles may also be ad-
justed through the American Legion,
The local Post has elected Mr.. Homer
B. Frater as War Risk Officer to look
after and push through any claims
of any kind that any ex-service man
may have. If you have any trouble
of any kind regarding our service,
write TO or see ii. B. Frater, Mary
vile, Tenn, and through him you
can get in touch with men who will
expeulte your claims for compensa-
tion, insurance, vocational education,
etc.
But, most important of all is to get
your name on the rolls of the Capt,
Emerson j. Lones Post of the Ameri-
can Legion, and lend your influence
to the great movement which the
American Legion is backing. All
members who sign up before Novem-
Der 11th, are charter members of the
organization. So get your name in
to one of the membership committee,
Messrs A. B. Smith, Jim Maxey, VIM.
Koontz,, Leslie Walker, or Chas. L.
Smith. Be sure to attend the organ
ization meeting of the Post on Tues
day evening, September End, at p.
