TRepubIIcan X. p. Leased Wire1

WASHINGTON. Dec. 10.-Consid- erable progress was made by the Chinese and Japanese delegates when they took up today consideration of control of the Kiao-Cho- Tsinan-Fu railway in Shantung, according to an official statement.
 China demanded complete control of the road and declared herself ready to operate it as a unified sys- tenn. The Japanese were told China would make compensation for its re- turn.
 This assertion was made as a re- suit of the contention of the Japanese that under the reparations agreement of the Versailles treaty Japan would have to reimburse Germany for the road.
 The Japanese declared they would require time to consider the Chinese proposals and an adjournment was taken until Monday. Ambassador Shidehara appeared for Japan for the first time since his illness.
 Minister Alfred Sze of China de- clared after the meeting that sub- stantial progress had been made and that the situation looked "veTy hope ful.''

WATSON OFFERS HUNDRED NAMES .TO SUPPORT HS HANGING CHARGE
Georgia Senator Asks That 100 Former Service Men Be Brought Before Com mittee To Testify
rRepubIIcan A. p. Leased wIreI

WASHINGTON, Dec. 10.- Names of more than 100 former service men were presented today to a senate committee by Senator Watson, Dem ocrat of Georgia, who asked that they be brought here to testify in the in- vestigatioi of his charges that American soldiers had been put to death in France without right of trial.
 There was no intimation as to how many would be summoned. Assur- ance, however, was given Senator Watson that every person would be called if he believed they were pre- pared to give testimony directly bear ing on the charges.
 Senator Watson read extracts from many letters in which soldiers de- clared they knew of numbers of H. legal executions. One soldier wrote that on a transport going to France fourteen men were drowned for no apparent reason.
 The senator undertook to show, and indeed announced he would prove, that the war department list of eleven executions did not include all men illegally hanged or shot by order of superior officers. A picture of what seemed to be a gallows in France, on which a rope was being hooked around the neck of con- demned soldier, with several officers on the platform and scores on the ground. was presented by the sena- tor, who testified that 1t was taken by colonel. now in the service.
 The officers name was not re- vealed.
 Senator Watson stated that he de- sired to return the picture tonight but by direction of Senator Sheilds Democrat of Tennessee, it was re- tained for the record, although MT. Shields declared it was not worth while as evidence If the man who made it could not be found to testify
 Colonel w. E. Bethel. assistant judge advocate general, from whom the committee obtained the list of the eleven legal executions. was in structed to check over the Watson list and see if any were the same.
 After presentation of a letter from Assistant Secretary of the Navy Roosevelt. denying he had first hand knowledge of the killing of a soldier by an officer and the subsequent transfer of the officer to another command, Senator Watson explained that use of MT. Roosevelt's name was due to a blunder. The letter, he

 Quoting from his letter to Chair man Brandegee. the senator said il was no surprise to him that thu American Legion "composed princt- pally of the officers who organized themselves in Paris to perpetuat' l militarism in this country, should whitewash themselves. The commander of a legion post a Westville, Oklahoma, the senator said, had sent him the name of a mar ready to testify that twentyon' Americans were executed in Franc without trial. Another soldier wrot' that more than six hundred had beer 1 illegally killed in France. Did these men tell why the sol diers were killed?" Senator Brande gee asked.
 "In each case of ruthless killing, | the senator replied. it was stated | that men were shot down becaus they were Jagged and unable t' walk"

The Philosophy Of Brother Ostrich

There's something almost human about the ostrich Rather than face the unusual, he burles his head in the sand-thus exposing himself, rather recklessly, to the whims of happenstance.
 Isn't that just like the chap who ducks un- der the sheets the minute the furniture creaks downstairs?
 Lots of folks shut their eyes when they need them most In the matter of buying something, for instance-the important business of spend ing hard earned dollars
 Who gets the most for his money? The man who buys blindly-or the fellow who reads advertising and discovers just where he can buy what he wants at the best possible price?
 Who IS the most economical housekeeper? The woman who buys haphazard, or the one who daily reads our advertising columns and puts her household purchasing on a business basis?
 There's no denying the great value of ad- vertisng to those who read 1t. It protects you against fraud and inferiority. It tells you what is new and good making you wise buyer. It saves you money by pointing out for your con- sideraton only the best products and the best places to buy them.
 Don't be an ostrich
