 NOTIFIED NAMED

Eugene V. Debs Receives Socialist Delegation
 In Prison Garb

ATLANTA, Ga., May 31.-Eugene V. Debs, convict No. 2,253 in the Federal Penitentaary here, yesterday was notified of his nomination for the fifth time as Socialist candi. date for President of the United States.
 The ceremony took place in the Warden's office of the Federal Pen itentiary here, where DeDs is serving ten years sentence for violation of the wartime espoinage act.
 Under prison rules, Debs could issue no formal statement but he made a brief speech expressing his sympathy with the Socialist Party's aims, declaring. q always have been a radical and was never more so than now. I said I was Bolshevik. meant it then and 1 mean it now.
 Canton Speech Undoing
 His present imprisonment resulted from investigation of a speech in Canton, Ohio. June 16, 1918, which led to his arrest two weeks later for oposing the war and urging labor to cease all activities which tended in any way to prolong it. He began serving his sentence April 13, 1919.
 Every atom of influence and energy in the Socialist party went into the fight to keep Debs out of jail, but each appeal was turned down. The American Federation of Labor con- vened in June 1919 and voted down resolution favoring clemency for him.
 Name World Famous
 The name of Debs as Head of the Socialist Party in America" has gone round the world.
 Soviet Russia sought his release in appeals through diplomatic chan nels. With Premier Lenine of Rus sia, he last June was elected an honorary president of the Korean labor congress.

 Japanese problems are complicated by strong military party, Prussian in character and cruel in it's deal ings. Vanderlip said: 8At
 "The highest Japanese authorities assured us that the Japanese are ready to return Shantung to China" he asserted, but they are determined to hold the commercial advantages gained bN the surrender to Japan of German rights, and insist upon Japanese settlement at Tsingtao.
 U. s. Policy Failure
 "The American policy in Siberia has been complete failure. Japan is the one intelligent force in the Far East. The United States must take a hand in the Far East prob lems."
 The party brought word that Jap anese commercial firms are making great efforts to resume business with Germany. One Japanese shipping company has opened its offices in Hamburg and a regular steamship service is running to Japanese ports. Copper and silk are the main exports from Japan to Germany while potash is the main article demanded from Germany from Japan.
 Railway Claim Made
 The Japanese government is con- sidering a claim made by Germany that the Shantung (Tsingtau-Tsinan fu) railway is private and not state property. In the latter case the rail, road would become forfeited to Japan. in accordance with the same terms of the peace treaty.
 Japan proposes to release all Ger man property under her control up to the value of 10000 yen Property worth more will be subject to de duction of certain percentage to In demnify Japanese who have claims against Germany for war damages.
