COMPROMISE NEAR
ON TREATY CHANGES

PARIS, June 6.-British and French
delegates, through American inter.
cession, were reported today to be
approaching an agreement on the de-
gree Of modification of the German
peace treaty. 1t was understood that
the changes in the terms probably
will result in some concessions by
both groups, the French recedinS
from their previous stand OF oppos-
ing all notifications with the British
agreeing to abandon most OF the al
terations recently advocated by them.
The reply to the German counter
proposals, which will embody the
proposed notifications, is now ex-
pected to be ready for presentation
early next week.
Meanwhile the Big Four's continued
refusal to publish the text of the
original treaty is resulting in en-
barrassment to the American com
missioners. as the result Of charges
by Senators Lodge and Borah that
private interests in New York. This
Embarrassment is increased by the
fact that it is reported copies In Ger
man, French, and English are avail
able at neWsstands in Germany,
Switzerland, Holland, and in other
neutral countries. There is under
stood to be a strong feeling among
some members Of the commission that
the text should be made Immediately
available to the American people.

likelihood that retention Of the or
ganization would be sanctioned by
that body now that it has passed
into Republican control
To Await Final Peace.
In view of this situation, it was
said that the President is anxious to
have the foreign work of the commit
tee, at least until the peace confer
ence is ended. taken over by an estab-
lished Government department.
The committee has handled much OF
the routine news coming out of arts,
such as official statements and set
speeches, thus obviating duplication
and relieving congestion on the al
ready overcrowded wires.
As the Navy Department, with its
radio stations, is about the only de
partment equipped to do work OF this
sort, IL is understood that efforts al
ready are being made TO have Secre-
tary Daniels place the facilities of6his
department at the disposal Of the
Government, at least during the re-
naming days of the peace conference.

CREPE S.TREAMERS EATEN,
MEDITATIVE GOAT BLAMED

CHICAGO. June 6.-They just can't
believe 1t of that goat
He seems like such a thoughtful,
meditative goat, wagging his gray
beard and rolling his innocent eyes.
He doesn't look at all like the hard~
ened character that would be stand
ing at the front door of the house of
a dead man and eating off the crepe
streamers and the green wreath
wires and all.
Yet the family Of the late Joseph
Novak. OF South Chicago, say that
the said goat, the property of Thomas
Delaney, did stand and eat and MUNICH
the crepe as charged.
They reported the matter to Lieut.
Michael Morrisey, and Lieutenant
Mike agrees with the owner that no
well-brought-up goat, especially an
Irish goat, would do such a thing. It
must have been some other goat
probably a Bolshevik goat

WeirdeSt Murder Mystery in

Nagasaki, Japan, June % (by mail

der mystery in the history of Japan
has been solved with the confession
of Tokichi Hori, coal miner, that he
killed six women and ate part of their
flesh.
The six mysterious deaths of women
presented the same puzzle-in each
case a large piece of flesh had been
cut from the victims right leg. All
were killed near the coal mines.
Admitting the murders, Hori con-
fessed he consumed the flesh because
of a belief that only this could cure
him of melancholia, which affected
him for years. He stated that he
had served ten years in prison for
similar crime. and since he was re-

Atlantic City. N. J., July IS
Women's legs are beautiful.
Mems legs are not.
So why compel women bathers to
cover theirs. and allow men freedom
of the knees?
Thus Col. Dinshah Ghadiali. a ma
tive OF India, but an American citi-
zen. summed up his criticism of the
Atlantic City ordinance requiring
women bathers to wear stockings. He
was speaking at the convention of
the National Association of Drugless
Physicians.
why should women be compelled
by an immoral, un-American and in
humane law to cover their beautiful
limbs?" he asked during a discussion
of unexplained anatomy and centers
of physical force in man."
What is the difference between a
woman's foot and a mans foot? Why
not make men wear long stockings
and put trousers on hers? If Atlantic
City would be truly moral. 1t would
tell women to discard their clothing
and don trousers"

Col. Theodore Roosevelt has ac-
cepted the invitation of the American
Legion to be in Topeka September s,

word from the colonel that he would
ton.
Roosevelt was lieutenant colonel in

peka for the reunion.
