BY Associated PrfSs.

Honolulu, Sept. 16.-The United
States has asked the Japanea, gov
ernment to fix definite date for the
return of Kiaochau to China accord
ing to cable advices received here
to-day by the Nippu Jill, a japanese
daily newspaper. The cable added
that the Japanese government had

Washington, Sept. 16. - Officials
here in the absence of President
Wilson and Secretary Lansing will
not comment upon the report that
the United States has asked Japan
to set definite date for the re-
turn of Kiaochau to China. The
general impression in official cir
cles is that the report is we'll found
ed.
Japans answer to such q request
by the government would have an i'm
portant bearing an the Senate's con-
sideration of the Peace Treaty, as
as one of the objections to it which
is being conferred, is the Shantung
provision.
Administration supporters of thS
Treaty feel that a definite announce
ment by Japan setting a date for the
return of Kiaochau would go far to
remome that point.
Various Japanese officials have
stated that Kiaochau would be re-
turned, but time never was set.

for district attorney opposing PhiliI
S. Meyer who has the support of the
organization.
Similar contests appear for the
other offices for which nominations
are to be made.
On the Democratic ticket, the big
fight centers in the mayoralty and
county commissioner candidates.
DR.. G. w. Hartman and William b
McNair are working hard to be
nominated for mayor of the minor.
ity side. while five are out for county
commissioner.
| During the morning additional of,
| ficial ballots were issued to fifteen
city election boards and from indicd-
tions during the afternoon it was
expected that practically every voter
in the city who could possibly get
to the polling places would do so.

Student Glasses to
Be Library Feature

The student class, which was a
feature of the activities of the Har-
risburg Public Library in years gone
by. Is to be resumed this winter
and Miss Alice r. Eaton, the libra
rian, will hold the first examination
for the class on Saturday at the
library. This class is to train young
women in library work and it is
interesting to note that graduates of
the Harrisburg institution have gone
to other cities. They have obtained
positions in Libraries in Newark,
Utica, Cleveland, st. Joe, New York
and Washington. Two young women
who went from the library received
places in the National Government
in Washington without examination,
while others were in library work
overseas and in camps in this coun-
try.
The first library class was formed
in the fall of 1913 and contributed
to the successful opening and first
year of the library.

SAYS LEAGUE
CARRIES OUT
LODGE IDEAS
President Tells Audience 1t
Contains the Senator's
Suggestion
BY Associated Prsss.

Portland, Orc, Sept. 16.-Quot-
Ing from an address made in 1915
| by Senator Lodge. chairman of the
Senate Foreign Relations Commit
tee. suggesting that nations must
unite as men unite to preserve peace,
President Wilson told q Portland
audience last night that the League
OF Nations covenant carried out
what Mr.. Lodge had suggested. II
was the first time during his speak
ing tour that Mr.. Wilson had men
toned by name any of the senators
opposing the League.
When the President went from his
hotel to the Auditorium for his
night speech he again rode through
densely crowded streets and was
cheered all the way. The audience
stood up and applauded for three
minutes when he entered the hall.
Asserting he had found few men
opposed to League Of Nations, the
President said the great objection
seemed to be to this particular
league.
Il entirely concur in Senator
Lodges declaration" said the Presi-
dent, "and l hope I shall have his
cooperation In carrying out the de-
sired ends"
Recalls Conference
He recalled his conference with
the Foreign Relations Committee on
his first return from Paris and said
every suggestion for improvement
made by the committee members
had been written into the covenant
One of these suggestions, he con-
tinued. was that the Monroe Doctrine
be protected. He asserted that not
only had the Doctrine been specifi-
cally reserved to administration by
the United States but 1t had been
extended to all the world.
At the behest of the United States,
he added. a provision also had been
put in giving the members the right
to withdraw.
Most of these suggestions, said the
President, had come from Republi-
can SOURCES.
Saying he meant no disrespect to
the League opponents. Mr.. Wilson
stirred up an outburst of cheering
when he added that he had mo re-
spect whatever" for some of them.
"uU Spcclul privilege
The President asserted that "a
very few men," were proposing that
the covenant be changed to give the
United States "a position of special
privilege"
That, he asserted, was directly
contrary to American principles, be-
cause the nation had entered the war
largely to fight for the principle of
the equality of nations.
Germany. said the President, was
taking heart at the possibility that
the United States might be induced
to refuse to guarantee the peace set
tlement. To that end, he asserted, q
"pro-German propaganda" again
was becoming active in this coun-
try.
Mr.. Wilson said he som etim es
wondered whether the men who op-
posed the league have ever talked,
as he had. with women who had
lost sons in the war. He declared
many of these had asked him to give
all his strength to an effort to keep
other women's sons from having to
go to war.
Through Misrepresentation and
every other vile thing" he declar-
ed. II shall fight my way to that
goal"
