NEW ALLIANCE
NOW SUGGESTED
Would Have America Become

Seeking A Middle course-DeeIares
Program Outlined Would Be

OF World. a.f

London. IF the alliance with Japan
could be merged into greater under
standing with Japan and the United
States ON all the problems of the Pa
cific that would be great event, and
it would be a guarantee for the peace
of the world"
Thus spoke David Lloyd George, the
British Prime minister, before the
House of Common in outlining the
work of the recent conference of the
imperial premier. h
The Premier was dealing specifcal-
ly with the Anglo-Japanese alliance
at the time, and explaining how the
conference had unanimously recog-
nized that Japan Loyalty had carried
out her obligations to Great Britain
during the war, in letter and in spirit
Mr.. Lloyd George asked if it was
to be suggested that Great Britain
now should turn her back upon Japan
with a mere thank you and good
by after Japanese aid had proved
one of the turning factors in the war,
in that it had given protection to the
transit of Dominion and India troops
across seas. Even countries disliking
the Anglo-Japanese alliance would
despise the British if after such serv-
ices Great Britain turned her back
upon Japan he declared.
The Premier said he saw no reason
why it should be impossible to remem-
Der obligations to Japan and at the
same time preserve a spirit of fra
ternity with the United States.
1t was cardinal principle of British
policy, the Premier continued, that
Great Britain should act in as COM
plete accord with the United States as
possible. He did not know of any
country in the world with whom it was
more important to act in concert. He
declared that the surest way to make
success of the disarmament confer
ence was first to reach an understand
ing on Pacific questions, and he hoped
his view in this respect would be
taken at the Washington gathering.

MOB STORMS
JAIL FOR NEGRO
Knoxville Mob Fired On By
Deputy Sheriffs
ACCUSED BY WHITE GIRL

Women Hit BY Buliets-Tennessee
National Guardsmen Fail To
Open Fire on Attack
ing Party.

Knoxville, Tenn. - Twenty persons
were wounded, two seriously, when
deputies guarding the Knox county
Jail fired on crowd which had crossed
a deadline with the purpose of de-
handing Frank Martin, negro, held
as a suspect in criminal assault upon
a county school teacher.
All of the wounded are white. Two
are women. Deputy Sheriff Charles
Lewis was wounded in the arm by
return fire from the crowd
Although the machine gun company
of the 117th Infantry, Tennessee Ma
tional Guard, was on duty at the jail,
the soldiers did not fire.
Following reports that the school
teacher had identified Martin as her
assailant, crowds gathered in the vi
cinity Of the Jail, which was guarded
by national guardmen and soon started
down the hill on Main street leading
to the Jail. They were turned back
twice by police.
Gradually almost 200 men and boys
approached the Jail, while several hun
dred other persons, many of them
women, in the court house yard looked
down upon the scene. AS they came
within 100 feet, Sheriff Cate stepped
under an arc light and demanded that
they dispense. He gave warning that
an imaginary line between two tele-
phone poles should not be crossed.
AS dozen men passed these poles,
the sheriff picked up a shotgun and
fired over the heads of the crowd into
the air. Four deputies who were with
him then fired two volleys.
Two men in the courthouse yard
and two or three in the street fired
revolvers in reply.
The shooting then became general,
deputies firing rapidly.
Many of the loads of buckshot fired
by the officers and intended to go
above the heads of the crowd in the
street went among spectators in the
courthouse yard. Some of the injured
also are suffering from pistol and rifle
wounds.
In the court house scores threw
themselves to the ground to escape
the hail of bullets coming in that direc-
ton, while the crowd in the street ran
back panic-stricken, and the deputies
charged, firingRver the heads of the
crowd and driving all of them back to
Gay street, block from the jail.

FINAL WARNING
GIVEN PANAMA
Told That Time Has Arrived
To vacate Territory
AWARDED TO COSTA RIGA
Hughes Note Made PubIic-Declares
Reasonable Time" Granted For
Complying With Whites
Award Has Expired.

Washington-The State Department
has served an ultimatum on Panama
notifying her the time has arrived to
vacate the territory awarded to Costa
RIGA by the arbitral decision of the
late Chief Justice White.
A battalion of marines entrained at
Quantico for Philadelphia, where they
will board the United States battle
ship Pennsylvania bound for the Pan
anna Zone.
The movement of marines toward
Panama is shrouded in secrecy but
enough is known to make it plain that
unless Panama peacefully surrenders
the territory American force will eject
her troops. 1t is not believed the ex-
ercise of force will be necessary. 1t
is the hope of this Government that
the presence of superior American
arms will be sufficient.
Text OF Hughes Note.
Following is the text of Secretary
Hughes note:
1.-The Government of the United
States has received the note addressed
by the Government of Panama on Au-
gust s.
After the most careful considera.
ton Of the statements contained in
the note of the government of Pana.
ma above referred to, this Government
has reached the conclusion that the
arguments advanced in this commune
cation, have already been fully an
swered in previous notes. 1t is great
~ regretted that it has proved to be
impossible for the governments of Pan,
anna and Costa Rica to come to a di,
rect agreement for the delimitation OF
that portion of the boundary between
the two republics laid down by the
White award In view of the fact that
the government of Panama appears
unwilling to carry out this delimitation
in the manner provided in the Porras.
Anderson convention and inasmuch as
a reasonable time, mentioned in the
note of this Government dated May 2,
ASA1, lOT Tue ICdCuAlS vi al dSA OCAAOhe
as to the manner of carrying out this
delimitation, has already been afford
ed, there would seem to be no reason
why the Government of the United
States should, as the friendly mediator
between the two Governments or by
virtue OF its special relations to the
Government of Panama feel compelled
to suggest to the Government of Costa
RIGA that it delay longer taking juris'
diction over the territory which is now
occupied by Panama and which was
adjudged to belong, to Costa Rica by
the terms of the Loubet award.
"Theg Government of the United
States is now advised by the Govern
ment of Costa RIGA that since it con
siders that the Porras-Anderson con
vention is in force, and since it be
1ieves that there is no valid reason
for delaying its complete execution
any longer, it is ready to assume i'm
mediately the jurisdiction over the
territory above referred to-"

ANGER KEEPS BUTCHER WARM.
Locked In Ice Box With Glass Door,
He Sees His Cash Stolen.

New York. August Kirsch, a
Brooklyn butcher, might have frozen
when robber forced him into his own
ice box and locked the doors but for
the fact that the box had plate glass
doors.
These, enabled Kirsch to see the
thief calmly looting his cash register,
and the robbery and his helplessness
made him so hot that he did not even
catch cold through his enforced i'm
prisonment. An hour after the robber
had departed a customer set the
butcher free. Later he caused the ar
rest OF Walter Stutterheim as the
bandit, and the prisoner was held to
the Grand Jury.
