disintegration. because of the econ
omy of Congress. Secretary Baker

Congress appropriated only for an
army of $4,000 men during the next

100000 men in the service, and to meet
the 325.ooO limit must be down to
10000 by the end of September.
This is making it necessary to dis

WOMAN KILLED
KABER, IS BELIEF.
Wounds in Abdomen Show
Feminine Tendency,
Police Claim.

Cleveland, July %. - Dan Kaber
wealthy Cleveland publisher, who was
stabbed to death in his bed at Lake
wood Friday night, may have been
killed by a woman, according to a
theory held by the police here. Ka-
Der died as a result of twenty-four
abdominal wounds.
A dagger made from a file. razor
bearing a Syrian name. and a pair
of blood-stained gloves are the only
clues left by the murderer.
Police think the killing may have
been done by two persons. one chok-
ing the helplessly ill man while the
other inflicted the fatal wounds.
That the murderer was familiar with
the kaber home is another theory,
as all doors on the lower floor were
left open. presumably by the murder
er to facilitate escape.
The belief that woman murdered
the publisher is held tenaciously by
police. Records show that a woman,
using a knife or revolver, usually
stabs or shoots in the direction OF
the abdomen or around the heart.
Below the picture of Kaber is that
of his wife, who was absent from
home on the night of the murder,
and her daughter by a former mar
riage. Miss Marian McArdle, who was
sleeping in the Kaber home.
Another young woman, a male nurse
and Mrs. Kaber's mother, Mrs. ]. A.
Breckel. also were in the house.

WILSON ADMITS
HE ALONE CAVE
JAPS SHANTUNG
President Tells Senators He
Negotiated Award Then
Got Conferees' Approval.
WAS PRICE OF SUPPORT
Lloyd George and Clemen-
ceau Took No Part in
Parleys.

President Wilson, in conversations
with Republican Senators yesterday
admitted sole responsibility for the
Shantuns settlement in the peace
treaty. whereby this great province
Of China. with its millions of Chinese
inhabitants. is to be delivered to the
control OF Japan.
The Senators were told that Lloyd
George and Clemenceau refused to
participate in the discussion OF Ja-
pans claims to Shantung because of
the secret treaties which England and
France had made with Japan cover
ing this particular item in the jap
anese demands.
Thereupon, it was stated. the en-
tire matter OF appessing Japan and
satisfying her demands for terrific
rial increase was turned over to
President Wilson. Senators were told
that the President personally negoti-
ated the settlement with Japan's rep
resentatives and agreed to give Shan
tung to the Japanese Empire. The
plan of settlement was then submit
ted to the other members of the Big
Five for approval
Makes Profound Impression.
This is the first time that this big
secret of the Peace Conference has
been told. 1t made a profound i'm
preston upon the Senators to whom
it was revealed. They were Senators
who had been summoned by the Presi-
dent to the White House to listen to
reasons why the peace treaty should
be promptly ratified without altera-
tion or amendment.
The President also gave to the
Senators some of the reasons why Ja-
pans claims to Shantung were agreed
to. One OF the most important OF
these was that Japan had been ex-
ceedingly backward about entering the
war on the side of the allies. The
secret treaties with England and
I've to Japan to get in and help drive
the Germans out of China. 1t was
not until after England and France
had agreed to support Japan's claims
to large portions of Chinas territory
tht Japan did get in.
Snys Japan Earned Pay.
The President further pleaded
Japan's cause with the Senators by
pointing out that the dislodgment
of the Germans from Shantung was
of vital Importance to the transport
of troops from New Zealand and
Australia to help the British cause
in France. With Germany in pos
session OF Kiau-Chau as a fortified
naval base. it would have been i'm
possible, the President said, for
troops to have been transported
from these British possessions to
Europe. Therefore. it was stated.
