CHINA URGES JAPAN
 TREATY SET ASIDE

PARIS, Jan. 29.-The claim of Japan for the retention of Tsingtao and the German railway concessions in Shan tung province, as presented to the con- ference of the five powers by Baron Makino of the Japanese mission, is based on an agreement entered into May 25, 1915, which also gave Japan the right to establish a concession eX clusively under it's jurisdiction il !Tsingtao. Dr. Wellington Roo, Chinese minister to the United States, arguing in behalf of China, asserted that the agreement was entered into under threat of hostilities and is void. He de- clared, likewise, that the offer the Jap anese are making to restore Shantung province is meaningless, as neither the Germans, nor the Japanese succeeding them, had actual possession of the province but merely dominated il through the railway and port conces- sions. which Japan desires to retain.
 The Chinese insist that Japan s claims, if granted. would put her vir- tually in control of Shantung province, just as she controls Manchuria through Port Arthur and the Manchurian rail- way, giving Japan economic and mi!l- tary domination. Dr. Roo told the council that there were 30000,0 900 peo- pie in Shantung province, which was the richest and most valuable strate- gically. in north China, and that to de- prive China of it, together With Man churia, would leave Picking difficult tc defend

TO HOLD ODD TRIAL
 BEFORE BALL JUDGE

NEW YORK. Jan. 29.-The unusual spectacle of a baseball player on trial upon the charge of endeavoring to in- fluence the result of games, will be presented in this city tomorrow, when the case of Hal Chase vs. the Cipcin- natl club is considered by the National league. President John A. Heydler will sit as judge for the league and in all probability will be assisted by one or more legal advisers Chase, in the role of defendant, will be represented by counsel, while the Cincinnati club, which brings the charges, will have the plaintiffs side of the case orated by at torneys.
 Unless there is an eleventh hour change in the program for the hearing. the case will be tried behind closed doors and President Heydler's decision may not be announced until he has hao an opportunity to consider evidence submitted by both sides. Much of the evidence is said to be in the form of affidavits submitted by officers of the Cincinnati club and players of that and other teams. Chase, who did not finish cut last season with his team. and who has 8 suit pending for back salary, pre- diets that he will be acquitted. What ever the outcome of the trial. it is con- ceded that he will not play with the Cincinnati club in 1919
 No similar case has involved a maio league player since the early days oi the professional game.

TO MAIN TAIN A
 BRITISH ARMY 0F 900,000 MEN

LONDON, Jan. 29.-The regulations governing the armies of occupation are dealt with in an official statement is ued tonight by Winston Spencer Churchill, secretary of war. The statement says:
 sThe British military commanders q \ .o the opinion .Eat 300, 900 men are sufficient for this transition period All the rest win be demobilized as fast as possible.
 ''The new armies will begin forming February 1, and will be composed in the first instance, of those who have enlisted since January 1, 1916, and who do not exceed 37 years of age. Volun- teers will be accepted for one years service among men otherwise enlisted to release, while siXty-nine battalions of the young soldiers, now on home serivce, will be sent immediately to help guard the Rhine bridgeheads and re- lease the older men.
 The men of the new armies will be paid bonuses ranging from ten shillings and six pence per week. for privates, to forty-two shillings for colonels, in addition to the ordinary army pay Leave will be granted on as generous i a scale as possible
 These arrangements seem to be 1 the best devisable for the year 1919 ! During this year, however we must 1 remake the old British regular army so as to provide, on a voluntary basis l overseas garrisons and foreign sta 1 tions.'
 i In connection with the foregoing the
 ministry of labor announced that nc l further application for relase of in- 1 dividual officers or men on pivotal ol | special grounds can be considered.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 29.-The food administration will have no part in carrying out the governments guaran- teed price for the 1918 and 1919 wheat crops, and very probably will have passed out of existence before this years crop is harvested, said state ment tonight by w. A. Glasgow, Jr., legal counsel for the administration. Mir. Glasgow was replying to conten- tions by some members of the senate, that the bill sent to the senate and house yesterday, appropriating bll- ion and quarter dollars to carry out
 wheat price guarantee, was an
 mnibus bill designed to continue the ood administration in operation.
 Declaring that the food administra- ton lis being dissolved as rapidly as it's duties to the public will permit, Mir. Glasgow said the wheat guarantee bill does not involve the perpetuation of any powers to the food administra- tion, and that no such view was in contemplation.
