 GENERAL DENIAL
Japanese Delegate to Peace Conference Gives Out His
 Side to the Public.

TOKIO,t May 31-viseount Makino Japanese delegate to the peace con terence. takes exception to state ments of Former Secretary of State Robert Lansing, made in the ex secretary's recent book concerning the attitude of Japan at the confer. ence.
 As qtoted in the Asahi Shinbun. Viscount Makino. commenting on cabled resumes of the book. says that Japan did not force President Wilson's hand, regarding Shantung by threatening to bolt the confer ence, as did Italy. There were wild rumors abroad in Paris to that eff, feet at the time" he says, these threats being to the effect that Japan would not join the League of Nations, but these were mere rumors and Japan's real actions had nothing to do with them.
 Mir. Lansing's statements that Japan attempted to force the adop- tion of, the racial equality clause by announcing a decision to refuse to sign the peace treaty is also denied by the Japanese peace delegate. The delegates of all the powers repre- sented, says Viscount Makino, had no other idea than to secure the best peace possible and such guarantee as would make secure the peace of the world, and anything in the na- ture of a threat from anyone could Eot be tolerated. tas la! Misconception Alleged.
 "The question regarding Shan tung and that regarding racial equal ity cannot be treated in the same light" he says. "The statement made by MT. Lansing in this connection is probably only his own misconcep- tion, as he was not present at the meeting at which the final decision regarding Shantung was arrived at
 ''The Japanese delegates had twice interviewed President Wilson in this matter between April 21 and April 30, and, after the matter had twice been submitted to the Four Power Conference the agreement regarding Shantung was arranged.
 MT. Lansing, not being the highest representative of America, did not take part in these meetings and his statements regarding Shantung are only his own ideas -of what took place.
 Viscount Makino denies fatly that he and Count Chinda had an in terview with Mir Lansing, while the 1 Viscount denies any knowledge of any member of the Japanese dele gation ever limiting at a possible rupture between Japan and America in event of the Japanese demands being rejected, as stated in the Lan sing memoirs.
 Heated Discussions. Many heated discussion took place in the conference says the Viscount, with each delegation attempting to carry it's own points, but no dele gation ever descended to the level Of making threats. MT. Lloyd George and MT. Clemenceau are not the kind of men who would be influenced by threats, anyway
 Viscount Makino is quoted in con clusion as pointing out that he has no idea of issuing any formal refu tation of MT. Lansing's statements but if anything calculated really tc damage American-Japanese friendship should be found in the Lansing Me noirs, he may find it necessary to make some statement to clarify Japan's position at Paris.

ship Friday Night.

George Farmer" Bailey Of Brattleboro
is to wrestle for the championship of the
world in Rochester, n Y, Feb. with
Ed Stranger" Lewis. Bailey has been
in hard training here for some time with
a noted trainer, expecting big match,
and his trainer says that he has good
chance to beat Lewis with his deadlock,
which he considers To be more deadly than
that of Lewis. 1t is claimed that Bailey ;
hold was the one that put Stecher out ot
the game, but I.ews's press agent and
manager took the glory. -.
Bailey started as a boy to use this head
lock hold and hassbeateu hundreds OF men
with it. Those who used to be in the \.
NJ. c. A, will remember he used It on
"Bud" Ferrter to win the championship
of Brattleboro WHEN he was but II years
of age Later when he won the cham
pionship of Vermont from Al Swanson at
Windsor they had to carry Swanson OIL
The Brattleboro fans who have seen
him use this hold remember how easily he
beat most Of his opponents. W hen meet
ing comcrs at the fairs and other enter
tainments his famous deadlock has beaten
hundreds of men.
Bailey's friends are confident that. with
his strength and the development he has
given this hold, lac will win over Lewis
Friday night.
