U. s. AND JAPAN
 SEEK SETTLEMENT
Two Nations Now Negotiating Direct on Yap Issue--Hughes Expects to Decide Questions by Dealing With Tokyo.

Washington, June 15.-Direct ne- gotiations have been begun between the United States and Japan for the settlement of the questions pending between them. These include the island of Tap, the immigration ques- tion, the alien land question and the return of Shantung to China by Japan.
 The negotiations are being conduct ed by Baron Shidehara, the Japanese ambassador, and Secretary Hughes The settlement of the Yap question would make unnecessary the consid- eration of this question by the league of nations.
 The above Associated Press dis patch indicates an important change in the attitude of the United States towards the Yap controversy. Both Secretary Colby and Secretary Hughes declared, previously, that the question of control of the Pacific island was not matter for negotia- tion between Tokyo and Washington, but, rather, one which the supreme council should adjust, since the coun- ell allocated the island to Japan. In fact, at the time of the American notes to the allies on the Yap ques- tion London and Paris comment seemed to indicate. that the allies thought Japan and America should settle the controversy without allied assistance, and emphatic word was given from Washington that the al- lies were responsible for the situation and would be looked to for an adjust ment.
 Recently, however, the Yap issue mas. been placed on the agenda for the next meeting of the council of the league of nations, and the United States has been invited to send rep resentatives. Since the Harding ad- minstration has declared it will have nothing to do with the league of na- lions, an embarrassing situation might be averted if, prior to the league session, Secretary Hughes should raach an agreement with Japan,

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Feb. 20.-Amer-
lean legion posts throughout the United
States were asked tonight by the le-
gion's national headquarters here to
watch for a revival of German propa-
ganda in this country.
bulletin sent out by the national
headquarters said the object of the
propaganda seemed intended to turn
American sentiment against the allies.
and to create powerful national politi-
cal machine by the amalgamation OF the
disloyal elements in our population
Mass meetings in New York. Phila-
delphia. Cincinnati, Chicago, milwaukee,.
Louisville, Omaha and Cleveland have
been planned, the bulletin said. as one
of the first national manifestations of
the propaganda campaign.
The bulletin, which was sent to all
state headquarters OF the legion, said:
There has come to the attention of
the national headquarters information
indicating a movement for a nation
wide revival of German propaganda ac-
tivities in the United States which are
the result of carefully directed ma
tional campaign, the object of which
seems to be:
First, the disruption of the accord
which exists between the United States
and aur allies with particular reference
to France and Great Britain By the
turning of American popular sentiment
against the governments of those coun-
tries, and:
Second: The methodicaI creation of a
powerful national political machine by
the amalgamation of the disloyal ele-
ments of our population and their ele-
walton to place of power in American
affairs by the invisible influence of this
organization.
''One of the first national manifesto
tions of this activity will probably take
the form of a series OF mass meetings
throughout the country ostensibly in
protest against the occupation of the
Rhine by French negro troops from At
rica. The alleged presence of French
colonials is to be used as motive to
turn American sentiment against France
Negro troops were withdrawn from the
French army OF occupation months ago.
While there their conduct was excel

WASHINGTON INTERESTED
State Department Receives Full
Text of Franco British
Convention.
(sy Associated Press,

WASHINGTON, Feb. 20.-The COM
plete text of the Franco British con-
vention by which the Syrian desert is
transferred from French to a Bri-
tish mandate was received today by
officials here, and is expected to en-
gage the close attention of officials cf
the state department in connection
with the general study of the allied
mandates with which the American
government for some time has been
concerned.
The pact as concluded between the
French and British governments in
Paris, Dec. %. contains provisions for
the complete settlement of the "prob-
lens raised by the attribution to Great
Britain of the mandates for Palestine
and Mesopotamia and the attribution
to France of the mandates over Syria
and the Lebanon, all three conferred
by the supreme council at San Reno"
The two phases of the treaty which
have engaged the particular attention
OF American officials are the estab-
lishment for the first time OF the
precedent of a transfer of mandate
territory from one power to another
by mutual agreement without refer
ence to the league of nations and the
acquisition by great Britain of her
long cherished dream of an all rail
route from the Mediterranean to India
through territory under her exclusive
political or military control.
In the settlement of the boundaries
in the mandate territories. the south
ern portion OF Syria bordering upon
Palestine, previously allotted to
France by the league OF nations. is
transferred to Great Britain. and sDe-
ciffc provision is made for the con-
struction of a British railway line
linking Palestine with the Mesono-
tamian railroad systems through the
Syrian desert. Section three article
five OF the treaty provides that the
French government consents to Tho
nomination of special commission
which, after having examined tho
ground, may readjust the frontier line

GERMANS TO BE HEARD
France Willing to Agree to Amy
Method Which Promises
Actual Payment.
(By Associated Press)

LONDON. Feb. 20.-Aristide BRAND,
the French premier, and General Ber-
thelot arrived in London this evening
for the allied conference with the an
nounced resolute purpose of not re-
ducing by as much as centirne the
total reparations that Germany must
pay as a result of the world war as
agreed to at the recent Paris confer
ence. But the premier is disposed TO
examine attentively, and even sympa-
thetically, the conditions Of payment
should the German delegates come TO
London with proposals reasonably
within the scope of the allied deci-
sions.
Although NJ. BRAND does not regard
the IL per cent tax upon the value Of
German goods sent abroad as an ex-
port duty, because it may be paid
from internal or any other revenue,
yet in view of American criticism that
clause may be modified if another
suitable standard to meet Germany's
expanding prosperity can be found.
Exports. within NJ. Brands definition
of the word were selected simply as
variable national earnings.
German reparations will not be con-
sidered forms ily until the Near East
ern questions are settled, but repair
ations dominate the thought of the
French delegation, and this fact
probably will have an important in
fluence on the decision of the con-
ference respecting the Turkish ar
rangements.
The French and the British govern
ments are not in entire agreement
upon the Sewers treaty. 1t is the i'm
preston that Premier Lloyd George
of Great Britain will ask NJ. BRAND to
yield in some respects on the Turkish
treaty in return for steadfast British
support with regard to reparations.
The French have all but decided to
withdraw from Cilicia but to retain
the mandate for Syria, which is par
TALLY pacified, according to General
Gouraud, commander of the French
army in the Near East The situation
in Cilicia promises prolonged trouble.
General Gouraud, who came to Lon
don with the French mission, consid-
ers that France could now withdraw
from Cilicia without loss of prestige,
having won a victory at Aintab.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Feb. 20.-Ser-
geant Glenn r. Stephens of Company
NJ, Alabama national guard, will be
placed on trial at Hamilton, Ala, to-
morrow afternoon on an indictment
charging completely in the lynching
of William Baird at Jasper, in Walker
county, Jan. 13.
Stephens will be the second of nine
indicted guardsmen to be placed on
trial, and the eyes of the public are
again turned on the courthouse in the
little inland Marion county town
where Sergeant Robert J. Lancaster
heard a jury tell the circuit court two
weeks ago that IL had been unable to
decide from the evidence whether he
was innocent or guilty of being
member Of the mob which removed
Baird from the Walker county Jail
and shot him to death
Leslie West, taxicab driver, who has
been held in Jail since the Lancaster
trial, at which he was the star wit
ness for the state, is expected to be
again the prosecutions chief witness
but there is much speculation as to
how the state will support his testi-
mony.
The defense in the stephens trial is
expected TO plead an alibi as it did
in the Lancaster case and to furnish
testimony to show that Stephens was
asleep in the company's barracks at
Townley at the hour Baird was taken
from jail.
One hundred jurors have been
drawn from the jury box of Marion
county for the trial and have been or
dered TO report in Hamilton tomor-
