Japanese Stand Puts
Il Demands on China
Up to Arms Delegates
BY HARRY L. ROGERQ
BY HARRY L ROGERS.

The momentous question of the
status Of Japan's famous twenty
enc demands" upon China has been
brought sQuarely before the confer.
ence by Japan'e refusal to relinquish
Port Arthur and Dairen, according 10
members Of the Chinese Delegation
here today.
China 10 ResssA
The statement of M. Hanihara, Vice
Minister Of Foreign Affairs, before
the Committee on Far Eastern Prob.
lens can have but one meaning. they
assert, namely. that Japan intends to
insist upon the ninety-nine year sx-
tension, which they allege was wruns
from China at the mouth OF cannon
while other powers were snSrossed In
the world war.
The Chinese are preparing to resist
this policy with every means at their
command, and they arc counting
heavily upon the support Of the
United States. Great Britain, they
believe, either openly or surreptitious-
ly will lend comfort and assistancs
to japan.
Taking advantage Of the two day
postponement OF the sessions Of the
Far Eastern committee, the Chinese
Statesmen were today bending every
effort to the preparation Of their
case. They will stand firmly upon the
contention that Japan must surrender

Samuel Johnson, often bitter in
life. was gentle enough at the
end: --
"God bless you, my dear" were
his last words to the young
daughter of a friend. =.
DR., Wolcott's last words, to his
doctor, who asked what he could
do for him, were:
"Give me back my youth.
Few men. IL wise, would say
that. He who has gone through
life and is going out with
fairly good record should be
grateful, not ask the risk OF go
inp through it again.
The most pathetic last words
are those of Francis Bacon, great
est philosophical mind since Aris-
totle. born almost 1000 years
before him. Bacon died disgraced,
but his work has been teaching
men more than 300 years.
"For my name and memory, 1

its gratitude to the Army because
of its good work in the Army when
the Blue Bonnet Lassies stood by
them and their comrades at the front
when bullets were flying fast and

Army stood the test at all stages and
that the dough-nuts and coffee serv-

Freight cars moved an average OF

An increase of two tons per car in the

period There was also ain increase Of
SO percent in 1911 to seven percent In
1920 OF the number of unserviceable
freight cars.
"Freight cars travelling loaded NOV

LAUK MAKES TALK TO
UNITED STATES RAIL-
ROAD LABOR BOARD
Gives Details How Organized
Labor Thinks Roads Can
Save in Annual Expenditures

CHICAGO. April 27.-(Robert s.
Thornburch, U. p. Staff Correspond
ent. "Details Of how organized labor
believes railroads OF the United States
can save over one billion dollars in ex-
penditures annually were described BY
W. Jett Lauck, American Federation
of Labor economist, today in state
ment to the United States railroad la
bor board.
Iauck appeared as q witness for
railroad unions in their fight to pre-
vent reduction of wages asked by the
railroads.
Highest efficiency in railroad ad-
ministration will be obtained through
a national unified control or a region
al control which will utilize all exist
ing facilities regardless Of competing
claims" IauoI SAID.
He quoted former Director General
William G.. McAdoo to show that
there is no question but that great
economies are possible under unified
management in the direction OF COM
prehensive national plan for transport
ing products with minimum effort In
the shortest line from point to point.F
Lauck suggested pooling of repair
shops, elimination OF circuitous rail
routes, unification OF terminals, con-
solidation Of ticket offices. universal
mileage tickets, Standardization OF
equipment, maintenance OF uniform
| freight classfications, maintenance OF
common time tables between import
ant points, high demurrage rates and
operation OF water routes for relief OF
crowded rail lines.
Pooling of locomotives and cars
were recommended to meet traffic
congestion. He said this would be inn
possible under private control.
Lauck charged failure to adopt
economic devices. to standardize loco
motives. over-development of motive
power in respect to other facilities,
inefficient freight handling at termin-
ais, labor turnover waste, preventable
loss and damage, poor accounting and
other alleged extravagances cost the
railroads $963. 100000 annually. ~
Engine terminals and shops are
from ten to thirty years behind the
times, rendering them about fifty per-
cent efficient" the witness charged.
