CITIES EXCEED REVENUE
municipalities in U. S. Spend Moro
Than They Make.

Washington, Oct. 14-Government-
al expenditures for the 227 American
cities of more than 10000 population
for the fiscal year of 1918 exceeded
revenues by 4S.60O,900 or SLAP per
capita, according to a report of the
financial statistics of cities of over So
900 by the bureau OF the census today.
In the report Sam L. Rogers. direc-
tor of the census, shows that only so
of the 227 cities had excess of reve-
nues. over their expenditures, the ex-
cess totaliing s22,323.060. or $3.50 per
capita. while the remaining 147 cities
expenditures exceeded revenues by
S70,923,990, or $3.4S per capita
Among the cities in which revenues
exceeded all expenditures are New
York, st. Louis, Pittsburgh, Los An
geles, Washington, Portland and Den
yer.
The aggregate population of these
227 cities was estimated at 1890. 900,
or nearly S3 per cent of the total
population of the country.
Except for revenues derived from
the general property tax, the liquor
traffic is shown by the report to have
been the largest single item of taxes.
The entire Indebtedness of the 227
cities amounted to $2,661, 451,21S, or
$77.55 per capita.

Uncle Ted's Bed Time Stories

us last week that you would tell US

China has come 10 be very important
in the making Of peace after the great
war. Way back in 1898. before either
Of you were born, China signed a
Treaty with Germany by which China
gave to Germany a large part OF this
far-aNay country The part which
Germany received at that time is
known as The province Of Shantung. a
province in China meaning about the
same as a State in the United states.
This province or state is in the north
eastern part Of China and is about as
large as the two STATES OF pennsyl-
vania and Virginia put together. Tho
land is in the form Of a peninsula
with the Gulf Of Chihli on one side and
the Yellow Sea on the other. Port
Arthur which the japanese won from
inc Russians in another war is Just
across The water from the most north
ern part Of Shaniung"
But what has that 10 do with the
peace treaty and the great war? ?" asked
Jack.
Just this. In the peace treaty which
President Wilson is asking our Senate
to accept without changing. it says
that Japan shall be allowed TO own
this province OF Shantung and that
Germany will no longer own any part
Of it. But the Chinese and the Japan
cse cannot agree. They are Just like

and China says that she helped fight il

Would it be wrong TO give Shan

Yes, il would be wrong for several
reasons Germany never had any real
right 10 stay in Shantung, and 10 was
only because her army and her navy
were much stronger than the Chinese
that she was able to stay there. IL is
true the japanese and not the Chinese
drove the Germans out but after that

allies and did all she could to help
