Housing Problem
in Japan Growing
More Serious
. (By United Press.)

TOKYO. (Ry Mail 1.-The serious
ness of the housing situation in the
big cites of Japan may be judged
from the fact that recently one Of
the rrans-Pacifc liners brought 1870
passengers for Yokohoma when not a
single room was to be had at the
leading hotels of Yokohoma or Tokyo.
The new arrivals had to take what
they could get at the obscure hotels
and at the Japanese inns.
The hotels are crowded with resi-
dent guests unable to find houses.
Many families, coming TO Japan are
obliged to put up at notels or with
some newly-made friends for months
before they can find suitable places
to rent.

avoidable if the abdication did not
come Immediately.
The kaiser still stuck with Plesse
and Schulenberg, but consented to an
arm.stice, saving he wou;1 lead his
amy in peacc hack home. He was
told This would not suffice; that he
must quit "cold" The crown prince
offered to take up the leadership but
apparently was rot trusted for this
task. Then came the canvass of of
fcers who even more than ever show
ed that abdication was a necessity.
Communication with the chancellory
in Berlin showed the streets already
were flowing in blood.
Abdication, the kaiser was inform
ed, was not question of hours, but
of minutes.
While the negotiations were pro-
ceeding, Prince Max of Baden gave
the Wolff bureau a statement of the
kaiser's complete abdication, although
he had no authorization for such a
step.
The kaiser was angry at this "act
of force" of the prince, and still
cIung to the contention chat he would
remain as king of Prussia. However,
after further negotiations with his
generals it was decided that the abdi-
cation should be maAU. A train was
prepared for the kaiser's departure,
and while he weakened a couple of
times about going, he was finally dis
patched safely to Holland.
The expose concludes with the
7 tatement:
"To the last, the kaiser permitted
himself only the one thought-to
serve truly his fatherland."

Blanes War Shock
Murder Defense
(By United Preas.)

GOLD BEACH, Ore, Sept. s.
UNITED Press. A hero of Vimy
Ridge, George D. Chenoweth, is fac
ing fire again today, from the battery
of legal talent commanded by C. H.
Burlington, prosecuting attorney for
Curry county.
Whether the world war veteran will
escape unscathed from the present
battle depends upon a Jury which will
decide if he is guilty of numbering
George Sydnam.
The legal battle of today, at which
his freedom for the balance of his life
time is at stake, and the fight when
his life was in the balance as he faced
Hun bullets and shells, are interviewer.
The defense will attempt to prove
that ue to the fact he YVES gassed and,
later, knocked senseless by frag-
ment of a boche shell, Chenoweth's
mind was somewhat unbalanced; that
the veteran was victim of emotional
insanity when he shot and killed Sgd
nam.
Chenoweth, returning home from
the war, found, he claimed, that his
daughter had been betrayed by Sgd
nam, aged 20. He Immediately sought
the young man, found him dancing in
a public hall, and FREQ several shots
'nto his body. Chenoweth gave him
self up.
Practically all interest, at the open
ing of the Curry county circuit court
here today, centered on the case.
Chenoweth is former member of
the Oregon legislature.

KillU. S. Private

COBLENZ, Sept. 8.-Private Reass
Madsen of Sacramento, Cal, was shot
and instantly killed today by German
soldiers in the neutral zone about a
mile from the boundary of the Cob
lenz bridgehead.
Madsen and Private Bert Bal
singer of the Eighth infantry, who
had been on outpost duty, were deer
hunting when they encountered a
German patrol of Is soldiers. Ac-
cording to Balsinger, the Germans
began firing without asking an ex-
plaration as to why the two Ameri-
cans were in the neutral zone.
Balsinger told the American author
tiles that when he and Masden en-
countered the Germahs he was sew
tr9l yards ahead of Madsen. Bal
singer said he dropped his rife as
soon as he saw the Germans who a
second afterwards began to shoot al
Madsen. The Germans contend that
Madsen fired at them. Bal3inger de-
clared that the Germans fred first
and that if Madsen had fired he did
not see him shoot or hear the shot.
Balsinger was taken prisoner b.,
the Germans and later turred ovel
to the American provost marshal Ma
ior George Cockreil, and brought tC
Coblenz.

Paderewski Again
Insures His Hands
(BY United Press.(

LONDON. (By Mail.)-Ignace
Jan Paderewski has re-insured his
fingers.
This news should interest politicians
as we'll as music lovers,
Paderewski made it understood
when he became Polish prime minis
ter that he had renounced for ever
his public performances as a pianist;
but Immediately after signing the
treaty of Versailles he went to one
of the big insurance companies and
renewed the contract which insures
his agile fingers against all risks and
injury.
This fact has only Just leaked out
and should serve toremind politicians
that the status of a premier is liable
to change, while music-love1s will real
ize that such change in Paderewski's
case might lead to temperance of
the virtuoso on the concert platform.

WORLD DRY LEAGUE
PLANNING MEETING
FOR NEXT AUTUMN
international Convention 0
Drouth Encouragers Set
for Glasgow

Westerville, O., Nov. Preliminary
arrangements for the first annual meet
ing Of the World League Against Al
cohOlism, to be held in Glasgow, Scot
land, next October, are being made
lere by Ernest H. Charrington, execu-
tive secretary of the League and an
official Of the Anti Saloon League Of
America.
When the League was formed in
Washington in June of this year, Mr..
Charrington said today representatives
of twenty nations signed the constitu-
tlon. Such progress has been made,
however, he added, that when the con-
' cntion meets next fall at least fifty
nations will have representatives pre-
sent.
Before the Glasgow convention, Mr..
Cherrington said a number of officials
and quasi-official representatives Of
several European countries will visit
the United States and Canada to stu
dy the working out Of prohibition.
The Glasgow conference, he said,
probably would result in the adoption
OF a definite program of temperance
work in each country signatory to the
League constitution and Of missionary
work in countries that do not now have
temperance activities. Stat
MS Of dependent peoples and aborigin-
al races also will be taken up. He
said that the conference will consider
tile format ton of an international tenn
perance news bureau.
Holding of the convention in Glas-
gov, he asserted, is expected to have
an effect on the local option elections
that will be held in Scotland next fall.
Mr.. Cherrington announced that drys
of the United States and other coun-
tries would be represented at the con-
vention Of the World Sunday School
Association in Toxic, next year.
