ference.
Attacked by Penrose.
Senator Penrose issued a statement
attacking the provision in the treaty
which awards the ShantunS PENN
suia to Japan He said:
~ get the impression that the grant,
ing OF the Shantung Peninsula to
Japan Is violating every principle of
the league Of peace. II seems to be
nothing short of a bribe to japan
to concur in the league of nations.
It barters away the rights and citi-
zenship of 1000 600 Chinese people and
dispossesses China of a rich and val
liable territory against her will. The
United States Is invited to join the
league of nations and under the pro-
visions of Article 10 this country, as
well as every other party to the
league. will be called upon to guar
antee for all time the possession of
Shantung by japan.
sTt will not be very surprising
that the Chinese find IL veryedifn-
cult to comprehend the practical
workings of the idealistic program
outlined in the fourteen points.
They have been despoiled. and unc-
tuons phrases cannot alter that"

Ignores Broken Pledge,
Labor Federation Says
of Palmer Statement

Washington, Nov. 12.-The execu-
tive council of the American Fedora
ton of Labor. after special meet
ing yesterday, gave out this state
ment:
''The executive council notes the
fact that in the statement issued by
Attorney General Palmer, which be-
yond doubt was called forth by the
statement issued by the executive
council at its meeting Sunday. No
vember 8, and published in the news
papers Monday, November 10. that
the Attorney General evades in the
main not only the declarations CT
principle involved in the restraining
order and the mandatory features of
the injunction issued by Judge An
derSon, but that Mr. Palmer wholly
ignores the assertion made by the
executive council that a pledge was
made by the Government officials
and by members of Congress that
the Lever act was never intended to
apply to the activities of wage-earn-
ers engaged in any strike or lockout
relative to wages, hours and condi-
tionS of employment and that the
Lever act would not be applied by
the Government to wage-earners en-
gagged in such activities.
THE Attorney General evades and
ignores the broken pledge and bad
faith of the administration in re-
Spect to these facts"

BOSNIA HARD
HIT BY WAR
Factory Production Slow and
r.. r. Transportation Is
Uncertain

Sarajevo. Bosnia, Nov. 12.-Bos-
mia may be a long time recovering
from the effects of the war. Factory
production is almost at standstill,
railroad transport is irregular and
uncertain, stores arc bare of stocks,
imports are much reduced. clothing
and food are high in price, and there
is much idleness among the people.
The crops this year. however, are
abundant and there is sufficient food
to meet all needs.
The German and Hungarian
signs which formerly appeared
above the store windows have given
place to placards in Serbian, and
Sarajevo has taken on quite the ap-
pearance of Serbian town. The
Serbian inhabitants are of course
quite content with the Belgrade gov
ernment, but the Germans, Austri-
ans and Turks are not quite so
happy. There is a disposition, how
ever, to accept conditions as they
are and to hope for a resumption of
the commercial activity and advan-
tages which the people enjoyed at
the hands of the Austrians. The
friends of the Serbs and Jugo-Slavs
hope that with time the Serbian
government will be able to match
the prosperity and progress which
the AuStrianS and Germans brought
to the country.
Among the population America en-
joys great prestige and respect. This
is largely due to the timely help
brought to the country by the Amer
lean Red Cross and the United States
Food Administration. Until the ar
rival of these relief agencies, Amer
leans had never before appeared in
Bosnia in any considerable num-
Der. The presence of the officers of
the Red Cross and the Food Admin
istration has had a splendid moral
and educational effect among the
Bosnians. Much of the rancor and
harsh feeling engendered by the war
has been removed, and through the
work of these Americans the larger
part of the people now look upon
the United States as a friend, not as
foe.

WORLDS BIGGEST
WARSHIP READY
Normal Displacement of the
Hood Will Be 1900
Tons

Glasgow, Nov. IA new '1arg-
est battleship in the world will slip
down the ways this month to estab-
lish' new records in the annals of
naval construction.
The ship. a battle cruiser, is the
Hood. Her builders say she is not
only the largest in the British navy,
but the largest warship ever con-
structed. Not even the four super
dreadnaughts being built for the
United States Navy, ships of $4,000
tons. approach the enormous bulk of
the Hood. her normal displacement
being $4,000 tons and, at full load.
about $4,000.
Fitted with oil-fred boilers and
Seared turbines, which develop
$4,000 shaft horse the Hood
is expected to show a speed of
81 knots in her trials. Her arma-
ment and anti-torpedo protection is
so elaborate she is said to be the
nearest approach to the "non-sink-
able" ideal which constructors have
been endeavoring for years to at
tain.
Details of the Hoods gun-power,
1t is claimed, will cause a sensation
when made public.
