RUMOR ATTEMP

Wilhelm Escapes With
out Injury is Word
From Doom

DOORN, June 19-An attempt
against the life of former Emperor
William was made at o'clock Wedn-
esday afternoon, according to per-
sistent rumor here. The details are
yelled in mystery, but it is asserted
Wilhelm escaped without injury.
A villager, identified as German
is said to have entered the castle un-
der a false permit.
M. Pereboom, private secretary to
the former emperor, assured the AS
sociated Press this morning that no
attack had been made on William of
Hohenzollern.
Dispatches received on Thursday
night reported that Belgian, who
succeeded in gaining entrance to
Doom Castle, the residence of the
former German Emperor, had at
tackled the former emperor, and
wounded him in the jaw Since that
time the report has been current
that an attack had been made, but no
confirmation of it has been re-

Japan's Army In Russia Only
For Defense, Assert Leaders

in Siberia has to do with her plan
for military domination of the whole
region in the Far East, of which
Shantung is a -,ort. The Japanese in
sist that their expedition to Siberia
was for the preservation of order
only, not for any territorial ambi.
tions whatever. They say that the
provisional Russian government at
Vladivostok and other places attacked
by the japanese troops, who were
compelled to exert military force to
put the city in order. Some people
were shot, they admit, but this was
not intentional. Their purpose, we
were advised. is to keep only enough
troops in Siberia to maintain order
in certain sections, and to protect
japanese merchants and others there.
Must Keep Post Open.
AS soon, declared the Japanese, as
reliable government is restored in
Siberia, as soon as Japan can be as
sured that that whole region may not
be ablaze with Bolshevism, with dis
order, with a threat to the safety of
the territory adjoining it, they will
withdraw their troops. Until that
time they feel that Japan would not
be justified in such a withdrawal,
leaving japanese nationals in Si-
IBERIA unprotected, and with no g1ar-
antee that Korea and North China
may not receive the contagion of
Bolshevik disorder.
So they want responsible admin.
istration in Siberia, a Siberia that
they are willing should remain un.
der Russian control if order is main.
tanned Such a Siberia will form g
buffer state that might relieve great
ly some of the misgivings of botI
Japan and China. Japan needs the
raw materials and the markets that
an orderly Siberia offers, but to es
tablish this order with a large mill
tary force is tremendously expen
sive expedient, more expensive, 1T il
insisted, than she can afford.
The comparatively small force
which she has in Siberia has been
through its activities, provocative o.
no little criticism of her policies il
that territory. That she may have
made mistakes, Japan admits, but
that she has a disguised, deliberate
ambition to acquire territorial righti
there THROUGH military and politica
domination her spokesmen emphati
ca,ly deny.
| feel that the United States anC
other western powers can do no les
now than await the fulfllment o
Japan's avowals as to her Siberian
policy. She believes she is entitled
to a test If her good faith. Siterii

Water Power Bill Is
Signed by President

WASHINGTON, June 19-The wa
terpower development bill, ten years
in the making, has finally become a
law.
Announcement that President Will
son had signed the measure prior to
June II, was made late yesterday at
the White House. At the same time
it was announced that he had failed
to sign the joint resolution repeating
most of the wartime laws, and the
Underwood resolution providing for
negotiations with Canada relative to
tha embargo on the shipment Of wood
pulp to the United States.
Another bill which failed to receive
the Presidents approval would have
authorized the War Department to
transfer motor equipment to the De-
patrment of Agriculture for road con-
struction and other work.

TO SEEK WAY TO

NOTES FOR TAXES
County Equalizers and
Commissioners Meet
Jointly Monday

Steps designed to bring out thous
ands of dollars worth of notes, bonds
and mortgages, as we'll as bank ac-
counts, on which no taxes are paid at
present, will be taken by the Board
of Tax Equalizers and the Board of
County Commissioners at a joint
meeting of these two bodies Monday.
The meeting is to be held at the in
vitation of the Board of County Com
missioners, and the problem will be
gone into in full detail, it was an
nounced yesterday.
There are hundreds of citizens here
who return no notes and mortgages
at all for taxation, yet the records in
the clerks office show they have
large sums invested in these securi-
ties, said one member of the board
of equalizers. There is said also to be
large quantity of cotton owned in
Americus and throughout the county
which is not now returned for taxa
ton, although the law specifically
provides that cotton cannot be carried
over from year to year, except when
returned for advalorem taxes like 9TH
er property. For instance, cotton pro-
duced during 1919 is not subject to
taxation this year, but all cotton car
ried over from the crop of 1918, of
which it is said there are several hum
dred bales owned in the county, is
subject to taxation at its full market
value.
One of the questions to be discuss
ed by the two boards Monday is
whether or not an expert shall be
employed to examine the records in
the clerks office and report the Sc
curities recorded there and standing

U.S.MARINECORPS
COMMAND GIVEN
TO GEN. LEJEUNE
Gen. Barnett Replaced
by Leader of Famous
Second

WASHINGTON, June l9.-The
appointment of Maj. Gen. John A.
LeJeune, of Louisiana, as major gem
eral commanding the marine corps
and succeeding Major General Bar
nett was announced today by Secre-
tary of the Navy Daniels.
General LeJeune commanded the
famous Second Division when it
broke the German line in the Meuse-
Argonne offensive in France
Secretary Daniels explained that
General Barnett could elect to be re-
tired with the rank of major general
or continue to serve in the corps with
the rang of brigadier, but that Gen
eral Barnett had not yet decided
which he would do.
Secretary Daniels said the oppoint-
ment of LeJeune was in line with the
policy of the department to reward
officers who served with distinction
during the war. He said the appoint
ment was in no way reflection on
General Barnett, who, he said, serv-
ed with distinction and was splen-
did officer.

Must Assume Responsibility.

"
With the Vanderlip party the Jap
anese discussed unofficially but very
frankly the Siberian situation for
their point of view
As early as December, 1914, they
related, Russia asked Japan for
arms and ammunition. Japan was
dubious as to the wisdom of com
plying with the request, but upon a
joint request from the British and
French also, furnished the materials
They learned subsequently that these
materials were often diverted to pur-
poses quite different than those for
which they were obtained. They
learned early in the war that Russia
was corrupt, unstable and a source
of danger to Japan.
They feared, they said, that if
they did not send troops to Siberia,
Germany might have been able,
through the corrupt condition of
China and Russia to take both China
and Siberia, thus menacing their own
existence. German officials, it was
stated, had long been active in China
endeavoring to undermine whatever
semblance of governmental strength
and considerations for national peace
there may have been there. 1t seem
ed the necessary course, in the light
of conditions late in 1914, therefore,
for Japan to force Germany out of
China, which she did through her sue
cessful campaign in Chanting.
No Territory Ambitions.
Japan's course in April this year in
instituting action by her military
force in Vladivostok has added to the
conviction of those of her critics who
believe that her military occupations

Fifth district of Missouri at the San

course be decided upon, then it is
probable summons will be sent to the
various owners of these securities, as
shown by the clerks records, asking
them to show what disposition they

cages, except in instances where these

dren die. We wanted the mothers of the world to join hands and see that every baby was fed.
 Said Miss von Pott: My class has made the poor suffer now we must pay. Aus tria is old and rotten. Women have been kept down. They were told wom- ans place was in the home. They have lived for dress and entertainment. When the war came, the women were helpless. A friend in England writes: Occupy yourself with your painting. You must learn to work. l am glad to work I have no longer pride. I am helping the American mission feed school children. If only all could be fedi But a whole nation is starving
 We said goodby with tears I do not know whether Miss von Pott is still alive l have not heard from her She owned house and land in Belgium, but she was not allowed to go there and claim them. Her thoughts often turned to Belgium. It was her second home She said:
 I dream every night of my home in Belgium. I dream of my animals, of my dogs and horses and cows. I dream am kissing them.'

three days old. One mother had twins. The babies were sucking milk-bottles. But when I looked I saw the bottles held milk. In each was imitation coffee tcoffee ersatz). And when I raised my head a mothers face turned toward me flushed and quivering and hunting mother-eyes followed me as I left the room. For how long can a newborn baby live on coffee ersatz?
 Fortunately, the number of babies born in the maternity hospital is only one-third what it was before the war.
 Next we went to day clinic. Here each morning mothers brought their ailing little ones. The children were from one to three years of age. The little naked creatures were placed on the doctors table.
 Some were bloated from improper feeding, other mere skeletons. All had curved legs and backs. The doctor brought them to me. He bent the tiny arms and legs; bent them straight back where there were no joints.
 RUBBER CHILDREN
 " Rubber children he said. Then he pressed the little head. The skull was so sofe it gave under his fingers.
 "1t is hopeless,' he, said We need milk and cod-liver oil and we have none;' and he added almost angrily, T do not want money. I want food
 He gave the babies back to their mothers. They turned away with tears running down their cheeks. Of what use is the doctor? Still. they came, hoping against hope.
 :" Is it enough?' asked Miss von Pott
 No I answered; I will see it all
 Next day she took me to an orphan asylum. Many of the children had
