Risks q
PHILADELPHIA, NEW
YORK HIT HARDEST

NEW YORK. Aug. 24-Because
Of the loss suffered by the theft, in
surance companies on automobile
equipment and accessories, no new
business or renewals on that kind
OF risk. with very few exceptions
will be written in New York City.

ern Automobile Underwriters Con-
ference. at which 90 per cent. Of the
insurance companies writing auto
mobile theft insurance in this part
Of the country we're represented.

from 90 10 200 per cent. of the
premiums paid on this class OF in
surance, and that only about 10 per
cent. of the equipment stolen by
thieves who specialize in pilfering
extra tires, tools. motor meters and
other accessories has been recovered.
It was explained after the meeting

contracts herein mentioned were
entered into by said department
prior TO the passage OF the ordi-

passage OF said ordinance; that said

the Council cannot legally issue

nouncing the granting of an applica-
ton Of the Liberator monthly mag
azine Of New York City, for second
class mailing privileges.
The application has been pending
since February II, 1918, the date of
its founding, and the postmaster gen.
eral said the records of the depart
ment showed every issue since then.
as offered monthly for mailing, had
been accepted at the third class rate
of postage. The Liberator will be re-
funded S11,277, the difference which it
paid over the second class rate. The
publication is edited by Max Eastman,
who was also editor Of The Masses,
which was denied the mailing privi-
leges in 1917.
The postmaster general announced
! also that The Call of New York, and
Victor Berger's paper. The Leader
had filed applications for re-entry I'M
der the second class mailing privilege
| and if they were found to comply with
the law the applications would be
granted. The Calls previous action
| brought against the department for
denial of certain mailing privileges is
now pending before the courts.

there is on foot a conspiracy to destroy

/ department heretofore as a reason for
not granting this permit. and if this
publication is involved in it, tten the

spirators in the manner prescribed by
law"

easy to decide what is and what is not
! information of a public character
as required by the classification act
but that the postmaster general has

ton of Il public benefit" and such

he added.
| THE mail exclusion statutes" he
said, will be vigorously enforced by
| the postoffice department. but in Sc
doing we will carry out the purpose OF
such non mailable law. This purpose
! is to bar the prohibited matter entirely
from the mails and not simply exclude
i: from the particular class of mail
which carries lower rate of postage
and then admit it to that class which
requires a higher rate, for teh same
laws govern the AVAILABILITY of matter
in each class.
There shall be no hesitancy in sup
pressing any publications that fall
within the prohibitions of the public
law, but there are also laws in the
country safeguarding the integrity OF
the freedom of the press and these
must and shall be also scrupulously
observed"

Japs to Give China
Chance to Keep Order
in Shantung Province

Washington, May 25.-(By the AsSo-
ciated Press) According to official

China to begin negotiations for the
recession Of Shantung under the terms
of the treaty of Versailles.
Japan's program, according To this
information, is to begin withdra wing
| been guarding the railway from
Tsinan-Fu to Kiao-Chau, without
waiting for China to comply with the
original suggestion that they be re-
placed by Chinese soldiers.
The Japanese belief is that the
Japanese troops withdrawn, China will
be forced to send her own troops into
the area where it is said lawless bands
have been operating with frequency.
, If the Chinese government takes up
the work, it is said here, and demon
strated it's ability to protect the ter

of Kiao-Chau, the Japanese govern
ment will take further steps of pro-
| posing that Chinese gendarmes re-
place the Japanese police and soldiers
who have been guarding the port it.

/ The Japanese viewpoint, as express
ed here. is that Japan has waited two
years for China to begin the negotia-
lions for the return of Shantung and
in the meantime has been under attack
for her occupation of the peninsula
The new policy is framed with the
expectation OF bringing the subject tc
an issue. Some diplomatists here be-
