TOXIC, May 6--Viscount Maxine
japanese delegate TO the peace CON
ference. takes exception TO state
ments of Former Secretary Of State
Lansing, made in the eX-secretary's
recent book concerning the attitude
Of Japan at the conference.
As quoted in the Asahi Shimbun.
Viscount Maxine, commenting on
cabled resumes Of the book. says that
japan did not force President Viii
sons hand, regarding Shantung by
threatening 10 bolt the conference,
as did Italy. There were wild rum
ors abroad in Paris to that effect AZ
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 Jap
ans real actions had nothing 10 do

Mr.. Lansing's statements that Jap
an attempted TO force the adoption
Of the racial equality cause by an

refuse to sign the peace treaty i
also denied by the japanese peace
delegate. The delegates of all the
powers represented, says Viscount
Maxine. 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 nature of a threat from any
one could not be tolerated.
"The question regarding Shant-
ung and that regarding racial equali.
ty cannot be treated in the same
light. he says. "The statement made
BY Mr.. Lansing in this connection
is probably only his own misconcep-

regarding Shantung was arrived at.
THE japanese delegates had
twice interviewed President Wilson
in this matter between April z arc
April 80. and. after the matter had
twice been submitted to the -Four
Power Conference the agreement re-
garding Shantung was arranged.
Mr.. Lansing. not being the highest
representative of America, did not
take part in these meetings and ms
statements regarding Shantung are
only his own ideas of what took

PEOPLE TO
THINK LONG TIME
BEFORE GOING NORTH

Edmonton, Alta, June If you
are thinking Of adventuring to the
Fort Norman oil fields, think a long
time longer before you start. That's
'theeswarning Of Theodore A. Link Ee-;
ologist and pioneer explorer Of the
Mackenzie river basin.
The country is. frozen wilderness
a thousand miles from nowhere, ac-
,cording to Mr.. Link. 1t is dotted with
infrequent posts of the Hudson's Bay
company, now closing out its rich
lands in the prairie provinces to farm
settlers, and has always been re-
'garded as worthless except for it's
wealth in furs.
Before a railroad or pipe line is
built into the region" said MI. Link.
IAN output of 10000 barrels a, day
must be assured. There is only n
we'll there now. Its output is 1900
barrels a day. TOT drill it cost $780,
600 and it took months to get
the machinery in. To sink enough
wells to insure 10000 barrels a day
would cost several million dollars to
say nothing of the time it will take,
to 'shipsin the machinery. The build
ing Of a pipe line will cost $4,000
900. "A railroad will cost $50, 900 a
mile. :,
There may be a. bonanza field on
the Mackenzie or there may not. One
well does not prove it. The Imperial
Oil company is preparing to sink
three more wells to test out the field.
But even il there is plenty of oil
there, hundreds of thousands Of dol
lars must be expended before the, field
can be put onla paying basis. A few
investors may get rich but "a little
army Of men will go broke. Hunting
for oil in that country is not a job for
a 70 man."
MI. Link and John Zieman started
their geological explorations ninety
miles north Of Fort Norman. They
went into country before seen by
a white man. They floundered through
windfallf and muskeg swamps.f They
climbed. mountains, 5000 feet high.
Black flies and mosquitoes enveloped
them in clouds. Within the Arctic
circle the blazing heat Of the sun al
most Frustrated them. They almost
swamped in crossing Great Slave lake.
Again they nearly lost their lives iii
shooting Smiths Rapids.
IF you've got plenty Of money"
advised MI. Link you can take a
chance up there. But IL you haven't,
you'd better not start"

DEMPSEY J 10
WEIGH $50
ATRINCSIDE
Three Pounds Heavier Than
In Any Previous Fight;
Carpenter ITO.

Atlantic City, N. j., June There.
viii be a difference in weight Of about
20 pounds when Jack Dempsey and
Georges Carpenter peel off their bath
robes for the worlds heavyweight
championship match In Jersey City
July 2. Ell
Dempsey said today that he planned
to scale exactly 1870. pounds in the
ring. If he succeeds in keeping his
pounds heavier than he ever has
weighed for a fight before. When he
won the title from Jess Willard at
Toledo two years ago, Dempsey
scaled exactly 1877 pounds. He
weighed 1856 pounds when he de-
feated Billy'Miske at Benton Harbor.
Mich, last Labor day, and 1872 pounds
when he met Bill Brennan in New
York last winter.
erning my weight accordingly" Demp-
sey said. IT think 1 will be at my
best at 100 pounds, and will be able
to box at top speed. Carpenter, I
understand, will weigh about Ito
pounds"
With the match less than four
weeks away Dempsey today is. within
seven pounds of the weight he hopes
to reach. The champions legs are as
thin as a lightweight's and he is
taking long runs on the road every
morning to keep n surplus weight
off them. There is not much evil
dence of surplus weight around his
mid-section, nor on his tremendous
chest and back. Dempsey is a great
believer in drinking plenty of water,
which, he says, enables him to per-.
spire freely and quickly.
The champion did no boxing yester-,
day and probably will not put on, the
gloves until Saturday. He went.
through a fast workout, however.
After a three round session with the
punching bag Dempsey shadow
boxed. slammed away at the heavy
sand bag and finished up with some
vigorous bending exercises.

Killing Ends Quarrel
 Of Mexican Generals
General Travino Shoots Gen eral Robles-Ennity Had Been of Long Standing.

Mexico City, Aug. (By the A. P)- General Jacinto Trevino calmly admits to Excelsior this afternoon that it was the defense of his military honor whicl last night caused him to shoot and kill General Jose Alessio Robles. General Trevino, who is being held by the police after his voluntary surrender declared according to Excelsior that General Robles holding the rank of general of brigade, publicly criticized his superior. General Trevino is general of Q division.
 The latter, according to the newspa- per charges that in addition General Robles had asserted that he was a cow ard, having refused to fight a duel.
 Eamity between the two men was of long standing.
 At banquet several months ago Gen eral Robles in an address assailed Cen eral Trevino as a traitor to the ideals of Chapultepec, the Excelsior says. A violent verbal clash followed in which General Robles challenged his adversary to duel which the latter failed to ac- cept.
 Differences between them apparently were settled until General Robles was quoted by Fl Universal as doubting Gen 1 eral Trevino's courage. Newspaper accounts of the tragedy to- day agree. that General Robles was driv- ing in an automobile wnen aLother mach inc containing General Trevino and four companions drove up. A fusilade of shots followed killing General Robles who was focnd with his hands on the steering wheel.
 General Trevino then drove to his home according to his accounts arranged his personal affairs. and delivered himself ! to the authorities.
 The incident has caused much excite ment here and today the crowd of people was SC dense around the jail in which the prisoner is held that a cordon of troops has been stationed there to pre- serve roder.
 General Trevino has visited the Unit ed States on several occasions as a member of various Mexican commissions During De La Huerta's administration he was secretary of commerce and in
 dustry.

New Haven, Conn.,, Aug. 9.-Three of the 19 men arrested at Lighthouse Point on July 23, when the fishing sloop Jen- nie T. was landing $50 cases of whis- key on the Connecticut coast, were re- leased in city court today. Following failure of police witnesses to identify William Beecher, John Soraka and Jo- seph Melsego as members of crew of the sloop, City Attorney Whitaker suggest ed that the charges against the men be dropped and Judge Booth ordered their release.
 The trial of the sixteen others. all of whom plead z not guilty to charges of illegally transporting liquor, was not completed, today, and will be continued tomorrow afternoon. The defense put no witnesses on the stand, but counsel summed up. The prosecution presented a dozen witnesses who told of the ar rest of the men and the seizure of the whiskey on a motor truck and on board of sloop. Benjamin slade, counsel for the defense, contended that the state law does not apply to the case, on the grounds that the accused were not transed were not transporting liquor when the police arrived. the motor truck being stationary on the shore
