All indications in the city point TO
the fact that the wage earners have

fact, they feel their obligation to the

Topeka Awaiting Thrilling

At a late hour this afternoon no

so breathlessly awaited, especially by
Topekans.
The minute the report comes buzz
ing over the telegraph wires into the

has arrived in New York, the State
Journal will carry bulletin announce
ment. And the next edition of the pa
per will contain the full and complete
details of the landing.

are sitting on emotions dangerously
like a volcano about to come to
life, must still hold on a few hours
longer Then q sigh of complete re-
lief-for the boys will again be in the
United States. After that will come
the several age-long days of waiting
until the trains bring them thru To-
peka on their way to the demobilizing
camp at Funston. There will come
then q celebration that will almost
make the armistice celebration look
like quiet affair.
In the meantime the reception
committee is ready and waiting. Ra-
dio offices are being haunted for some
flash of information from the sea
paths. on which the big transports
are steaming steadily along towards
New York and home. The committee
will take immediate charge of the boys
and the wires leading westward will
burn with all the anxiously awaited
details of how the boys came off the
big boats.

Paris. April 22.-The Italian "cri-

day by Japanese crisis"
The Japanese program, taken up by
the big four this afternoon, paral-
lels that of Italy in that both nations
base their claims on secret treaties
enacted before the United States en-
tered the war.
Japan wants Kiao Chau and certain
concessions in the Shantung peninsula
seized from Germany during the war.
The Chinese contend that these terri
tories should be returned to them, as
they were acquired by Germany yir-
tualIy thru force. AS in the case of
Italy's claims, the American delega-
ton leads the opposition to recognition
of secret treaties giving Japan this
territory, contending they were nulli-
fled thru acceptance of the armistice

The president and the two prem1ers
went again into the japanese Ques-
tions presented by Baron Maxine and
Viscount Chinda, which were taken
up when the deadlock over the Adri-
attic question was reached yesterday.
Italians Have Withdrawn?
In view of the fact that both Or

failed to attend the meeting of that
body yesterday afternoon, it was as
sumed the Italians had temporarily
withdrawn from the conference.
While no official statement was
forthcoming regarding the status of
Italy's territorial claims, it was under

the Italians had stood aside, willingly
or otherwise, to permit consideration
of problems.
Japan's demand for ratification of
her occupation of kiao Chau and the
Shantung peninsula presents a Situa-
tion paralleling the position of Italy.
Presentation of the Japanese claims
has been deferred from day to day

did not appear before the big four to-
