Ready to Confer.

China wishes to recover Shan
tung for herself exclusively, ou,
this is impossible. We are ready
to confer wheneevr China asks.
While China hesitates we are con.
tinuing to develop business here,
so China is losing by every days
delay. We are working not only
for China's interests, but also for
the Japanese, who have invested
15o,00o,0o0 yen In Shantung since
the occupation We have taken
nothing from China, while investing
heavily. 1t will be necessary to
settle the financial questions when
negotiations are taken up. The
longer China persists in a refusal
for a direct conference, the more
she will lose"
This is perhaps the frankest
statement ever made concerning
Shantung. and It reveals Japan's
purpose Of controlling the province
permanently, for the correspondent

coffin. The Japanese terms, as given
your correspondent by Maj. Gen.
Yui, military governor of Kiao-
chow, during the course of an
hours interview, follow:
Japan expects from China m
exchange for Shantung, first. the
establishment OF police organi-
zation guaranteeing the safety of
foreigners and foreign interests;
second, a decision as to whether
Tsingtao will be an open treaty or
international port; third, Anglo
Japanese management of the Shan
tung Railway, and a like manage
ment of the mineral rights. When
China agrees to a conference the
first two questions will be fore
most; then we shall be willing TO
take up the railway question.
Not only Germany but Japan
has invested heavily to make this
an important port and a beautifui
city. We cannot return It except
under condition that 1t be main
tained as now, and that its security
be guaranteed Minor questions in
volve whether the harbor will be
attached to the railway, and also
the disposition of eight squares or
land, partly in the city, upon which
Japan has erected many factories

Senator Smoot Of Utah on one Occa-

$1,000 employees in Washington, as
against 10000 to $4,000 before the
war. Senator Gronna of North Da-
kOta agreed with Senator SmoOt in
general, but defended the particular
bureau, cOntending that an increase
in the force was necessary because it
was overwOrked. Thereupon Senator
SmoOt said in part:

Biblical Truths Revealed.

Work by archeologists has thrown
a great flood of light and rich under

This point was emphasized by Jo
s1ah Penniman, acting provost Of the
University of Pennsylvania, in a re.
cent address on the literary back.
ground of the Bible.
"Their discoveries of records do not
confirm the Bible" he said, ''for 1t
needs no confirming, but they give
us a clearer understanding of the
Bible"
The story of the prodigaI son was
cited by Doctor Penniman as one
example. When it is known that the
laws at that time made it possible
for young man to ask for and re-
celve his inheritance, and to 90 ''in-
to a far country" the story is more
clearly understood
Records have been unearthed which
show that the selling of Joseph TO

actions that happened along this road
The greatest literary background of
the New Testament is the Old Testa-

CAUSE OF TEAT AFFECTIONS
Hands of Mixer Should Be Kept
Clean and Finger Nails Trimmed
Quite Closely.

Milking with uncleansed wet hands
is a fertile cause of teat affections.
The teats and udder should be
cleansed each time before milking
and the mixers hands also should be
kept clean. The finger nails of the
milker should be kept clOse-trimmed
and when milking care be taken not to
squeeze the tips of the teats too hard.
Such bruising is the cause Of a cOndi-
tiOn which we have termed "cOrns" Of
the teats. The skin becomes hardened,
horny or calloused and milking then
becomes difficult, or the milk sprays
during extraction. Dirty and con-
taminated stall floors and allowing
cows to lie upon dirty, wet ground, or
wade in stagnant water or drag their
udders through wet and filth on the
way to the stable are other causes
and a common cause of sores on the
tip of the hind teats is bruises from
stepping upon them when crossing a
sill into the stable or by trampling in
narrow stalls.
