Wilson Consents to Compromise
on the Japanese Claims to
Rights in Shantung.
GERMANS ARE IN VERSAILLES
Meet Representatives of the Allies and
Present Credentials-PIan for Try
ing Former Kaiser - Great
Bomb Plot in America At
tributed to Radicals.
BY EDWARD w. PlcKARp.

In the interest of an early peace and
of the successful organization of the
league of nations, President Wilson re-
Taxed last week somewhat from his
hitherto uncompromising attitude in
the matter of secret treaties and self
determination. AS a result the contro-
versy ove Kiau-Chau and the Shan
tung peninsula was ended in favor of
Japan, which is to get all the old Ger
man concessions and grants. The Chi
nese delegation argued and protested
III vain, and there was an intimation
that, though it would not withdraw
from the conference, it would appeal
to the United States senate.
Viscount Chinda successfully object
ed to the publication of the treaty Of
1915 which was imposed on China, and
the two countries will be left to agree
on the details of carrying out that
pact and the agreement of 1918. The
understanding is that the city of Kiau-
Chau will be given back to China, but
that Japan will retain the port privi-
lcges. More important are the rights
Japan obtains in the S%hantung district,
including the most valuable railway
and mineral concessions.
Since Great Britain virtually refused
to support the American contention in
favor of China and evidently intended
to stand by her Japanese alliance, and
as Japan made it clear that if her de-
mands were rejected she would not re-
main in either the peace conference
or the league Of nations, there was
nothing for Mr.. Wilson to do but
yield. and thus one of the most serious
disputes of the conference was settled.
The American delegation considered
the agreement the best possible to be
obtained, and confidence is felt that
the league of nations will be able to
protect China's rights fully in the fu-
ture. The Japanese military forces
are to be withdrawn from Shantung as
speedily as possible.

If the Italian controversy can be set
may certainly congratulate themselves,
but at this writing the end of that dis
pute is not in sight. The Italian dele
CATION, returning home, was accorded
wildly enthusiastic receptions every
where, and the parliament gave Pre-
mier Orlando a vote of confidence, only
a small group of Socialists opposing.
1t was expected that Orlando and his
colleagues, strengthened by this vote,
would go back to Paris and resume
their efforts to put through the Italian
claims; but Wilson, Lloyd George and
Clemenceau, according to reports, were
as firm as ever in the determination
that Fiume should not be given to
Italy. The probable outcome, it vas
predicted, would be the International
cation of that port.
In his memorandum to Orlando, Mr..
Wilson said the town of Volpna should
belong to Italy, and this has raised
another row. Volpna is an Albanian
port, and the Albanian delegation said
its seizure by Italy would start a move
ment that would mean the dismember-
m.ent of Albania. Already the Greeks
and Serbians were claiming parts Of
that country, because of Mr.. Wilson's
stand concerning Volpna.
Among the minor difficulties of the
peace conference was a protest by the
Belgian delegates against the indem-
nifty arrangements. 1t had been pro-
vided that Belgium should receive
$500, 900, 900 as a part Of the five bill
lions that Germany is to be required
to pay by the end of next year. This
was unsatisfactory to the Belgians be-

Well, well, fellows, how did you
ever find this page? I think it's
a shame the way we're dwindling
down and down and down. What
do you think this page is for any
way? Now that school is almost
over and so many good things are
happening can't you let us have a
little of your pep on this page. I
know you get discouraged some
times. For instance when your pic
lures don't get in and the story
about them does, or vice versa: and
when somebody changes your write
up all around, spells your name
wrong, or puts you down as as
sistant scoutmaster when you're not.
But, gee, what's little thing like
that. I'm discouraged myself right
now-three troop write-ups are all
that have come in and we have only
half an hour before we start this
stuff on its way to the paper. Get
busy and forget a few of the dis
appointm tments-don't dwell in the
past. If you don't become more in
terested in this page we're going to
conceal it so well that you won't
be able to find it at all for some
time. That might be a good idea
anyway, I'm glad / thought of it.
Now about camp. I'm Just crazy
to see that camp in full swing
Every time the scout executive
starts off for it / feel like saying
"Oh. you stay here and let me go
this time" I'm coming up when
you fellows are all there, you can
bet, and l warn you that you'd bet

around.
Things are looking brighter.

The shortest route of all is via the
throne of God. One may directly
and powerfully affect the course of
events in Asia and Africa by way of
the prayer closet. The Iowliest and
most sequestered Christian may
through prayer play statesman'S S
role in the remaking of the world
More than it needs editorials or
speeches or commissions or experts,
this present mass of human society
needs the divine help that may be
insured by sincere prayer.
The Secret TrySt
Two characteristics of the prayer
that counts are set forth in the days

of the widow who kept on asking
until she received. There is an i'm
All persisting prayer prevails. in
Gods own way. When a man is
really in love with a woman, he will
not be denied though she say him
nay through long years. There flash
across my memory the stories of
friends, now happily married, who
refused to accept repulse at the
hands of the women they loved. God
prizes that kind of wooer for his
favor. He asks patience and con-
tinuance in prayer as proof of
boon from on high is worth waiting
long years to receive. True prayer
keeps on praying until it knows it
self answered.
The other incident in the lesson
pictures two men at prayer; one a
Pharisee, correct in posture and
phrase publicly displaying his devo-
tions; the other, a despised tax

ing to lift his eyes. and murmuring
only. God be merciful to me a sin
ner! One prayed to be seen of men,
and therein had his reward; the
other prayed to be heard of God, and
God heard him.
Prayer is not a pose nor a pa
rade. 1t is not an affair for the pub
lie eye; but rather for the hidden
ear of God. Prayer is a secret tryst
with a loving Father. No man may
know the souls supplication; that is
a personal mystery, sacred beyond
all revealing. Barren indeed is the
life which does not have its un-
searched spaces where it holds rem
devious with God. Out of that holy
seclusion springs strength for all
public life and endeavor.

Hike Of Troop Is Halted;
Unable to Cross Fields

Last Saturday afternoon members
of Troop 13 and the scoutmaster
started on a hike up the Conodo-
guinet Creek, but we never reached
the place for which we started, be-
cause in trying to take short cut
we learned from the owner that we
could not go across his fields. So
we decided to stay right where we
were. The fellows who brought eats
along took. off their second and first
class cooking tests. after which we
all went swimming. three of the
boys taking merit badge swimming
tests.
Troop Is now has 54 registered
scouts enrolled. We have nine first
class scouts, eight of whom have
gone before the local court of honor
The other one came here from New
England.
We have started a signalling team
and one in first aid was organized
some time ago. This one is under
the direction of Deputy Commits
sioner, DR.. M. V. Hazen. Senior
patrol leader Hagar is captain. This
team did excellent exhibition work
some time ago throughout the city.

SCOUTING NOTES.
BY j. FREDRIK VIRGIN, SCOUT EXECUTIVE

Camp Hacoboscam. Camp Direc-
tor Rees and the Scout Executive

noon for the purpose of making
final plans for camping. Sites were

sure us that the water supply is
pure and adequate. The Health De-
partment is going to give us a report
of their opinion of the camp from
sanitary point of view and from
what the representative said we have
no fear but that our camp will
receive a first class rating.
The lake was sounded for the
best swimming and diving location
and it was found that between eight
and ten feet of water could be Sc
cured at one locality. Here we will
erect diving tower having levels
at the surface of the water, six
feet up and twelve feet up A num-
ber of diving boards will also be
erected at the boat pier. so that
swimming will be q great feature
of the camp.

Cub CunkIe Named New Pub
licity Man; Good Meet
ing Held

Last week our perfectly good
scribe, Cub Huston, was promoted
to Troop 16. We had a good little
meeting last week, twenty-five pres
ent. one new member was elected.
At o'clock we pulled one over on
MIR. Spangler 1 heard that the
meeting of Troop 16 began at 7.3O
as usual and about o'clock Scout
Wilbur Criswell and Mr.. Spangler
walked into the room. Two minutes
after we came in-twenty four
strong, and a little later Thistle
Troop 7, about fifty-five in line, came
in. In all there were at least one
hundred and twenty present and the
surprise was most complete. When
the shock was overcome, we had
grand march headed by the bride
and groom followed by Mr.. and
Mrs j. e. Haldeman, Thistle Troop
Troop 16, and last but not by any
means least, Pack 2. Then we sang
a song written for the occasion, the
Thistles presented a program of
readings, instrumental numbers and
troop songs. Following this the
Thistles presented their captain, Mrs.
Spangler. with a package. Upon
opening it she found a tin cake pan
and two cake cutters, and way down
in the bottom of the box a sterling
silver bread tray. or course she
was delighted Then it was our
turn. A Cub came forward with a
small package and upon opening it,
Mrs. Spangler found a small rolling
pin inscribed use me sparingly."
Then scout came to the front with
a big package and soon we saw a
pair of mahogany candlesticks and
a peach of a mahogany clock. Mr..
Spangler tried to make a little
speech but had to give it up. The
entertainment committee served ice
cream and cake. and then after some
games we went home at ten, tired
but very happy-for it makes you
feel good Ito do a good turn to
somebody every day"
Come to the meeting promptly to-
night for we have a lot to do.
Mr.. Wieland will hear exams
after.
