URGES REEVE WAL Of
ANGLO JAP PACT

NAGOYA, Japan, July 9.-(By the
Associated Press -Abrogati Of
the Anglo-Japanese alliance might
her Pacific fleet to a certain degree
of efficiency, and strengthening of
her Pacific force by Great Britain
might oblige Japan to follow suit and
strengthen her navy, former Foreign
Minister Kato declared in addressing
the Kenseikai, or opposition party, of
which he is the leader. here today.
NJ. Kato, who as ambassador of
Japan to England, participated in
negotiations Of the existing treaty,
urged a renewal of the alliance with
notifications calculated to reassure
China and also to harmonic with the
League of Nations. He said the al
lance originally was intended to be
directed against Russia and Ger
many, but it's necessity in these di-
rections had disappeared. 1t was
not surprising, therefore, Kato de-
was no longer a necessity for the
alliance, but, considering that Great
Britain and Japan had been maintain
Ing friendly relations for many
years, it would be a great pity if the
treaty should be abandoned.
M. Kato pointed out that abroga-
ton of the alliance would not af-
feet the. friendly relations of. the
two empires, but he asserted it's dis
continuance might make people think
something was wanting to keep the
two nations friends, and therefore
it was desirable the treaty should
be kept in force.
Opposition Uncalled for
After referring to the possible ne
cessity of Japan increasing her navy
in the Pacific, he declared if the al
lance were continued Great Britain
would be under no necessity to rein
force her strength in the Pacific. He
continued:
TT appears some opposition has
been raised in America and in Chi
as 1t stands, the treaty stipulates
that Great Britain shall not come
to Japan's assistance in case of a
war between America and Japan,
while it contains nothing inimical
to the sovereignty of China. If China
in the treaty. it might be altered to
the Far East In short, the oppo-
sition of China and America is not
based on reasonable and solid
grounds. What is deplorable is that
the government has been adopting
ing with the alliance, thereby giving
rise to a, crop of unfounded rumors."
In a statement to the press M.
Kato insisted it was clear the alliance
continues automatically until de-
nounced. The discussion, he said,
appeared to have conferred around
that part of the treaty excluding
the contracting parties from the ne
cessity of assisting one another
against a third party with whom a
treaty arbitration had been conclud-
ed.
LAS one of the negotiators / am
in a position to say the third par
ty' clearly implied the United
States his statement declar-
ed. Lord Grey (former British
foreign minister) insisted that the
United States be mentioned. L took
the same view, but the foreign de-
partment did not like to have the
United States clearly mentioned and
Lord Grey ultimately yielded. There
appears in the alliance no provision
conflicting with the Arglo-American
arbitration treaty"

SOLDIERS CLAIMS
GREATLY REDUCED
DURING PAST YEAR

WASHINGTON, July "a reduc-
ton of 29.476 in the number of pend
ing compensation and insurance
claims Of former service men and
women has been effected during the
last three months of the fiscal year
ending July 1, 1921, it is announced
today by Director C. R. Forbes, of
the bureau of war risk insurance.
This reduction in the number of
claims on which final action is still
to be taken has been accomplished
notwithstanding the fact that new
claims have been reaching the bureau
during that period at an average rate
Of from 700 to 500 day, and that
these new cases receive at once as
complete action as is possible on the
data presented.
On April 1, 1921, there were pend
ing before the bureau 99,401 claims
for compensation and 5,7S8 insurance
claims; on July 1, 1921, the account
stands $1,000 pending compensation
claims and 3.025 pending insurance
claims, while during that period of
time 56,258 new claims have been
filed with the bureau.
A determined drive toward the goal
of a current basis in handling the
claims of former service men has
been instituted in the bureau. To
this end a weekly chart is prepared
and posted in each of the units of
the compensation and insurance
claims division where action, on the
claim is initiated, and on this ap-
pears the number of waiting claims
apportioned to that section and the
estimated account as 1t should STAND
at the close of the week. Many OF
the units are now running ahead OF
their schedule of reduction OF cases
awaiting action.
All cases which have been pending
for six months are now handled by
telegram, the wires going to the
claimant himself, to the district office
of the bureau Of war risk insurance
which is nearest to him, to some one
of the welfare organizations cooper
ating with the bureau, or to any
source from which information nee
essary to the adjudication OF the
claim may be obtained.
An intensive program Is being car
ried, out In the medical division
through the introduction of fifty ad-
ditional doctors who were called
from the district offices of the United
States public health service to aid In
the drive and as result, the medl-
cal division has succeeded, from May
is to July 1, in handling approx
mately $4,000 cases. The experience
in handling war risk cases so afford
ed these doctors, temporarily detail
ed from field service, will be of fur
Their assistance and value to the work
of adjudicating war risk bureau
claims when the doctors shall have
returned to the field and when leg1s-
lation may have made the establish
ment of regional offices with author
ity for complete action on cases an
accomplished fact.

c. D. P. COMMITTEE
To Be NAMED SOON

appointment Of the committee OF
100 white Republicans to reorganize
the party in Georgia under white
leadership is likely to be announced
this week, it was understood yes
terday by Atlanta Republicans who
are cooperating in the movement.
They expect the committee to be
called to meet in Atlanta between
the twentieth . and twenty-fifth OF
July. This information which they
had, was confirmed by L. M. Merlin
Jones, editor of the Gainesville (Ga.)
Eagle, which recently was reorgan-
lied under his editorship and an
nounced itself a Republican newspa-
per favoring white leadership.
Mr.. Merlinjones telegraphed to
The Atlanta Journal that he had re-
ceived the following telegram from
Clarence B. Miller, secretary of the
Republican national committee:
Proposed meeting of 100 Georgia
Republicans will occur exactly as
originally proposed. Meeting will be
held between July 20 and rs. Work
will be exactly rs originally outlined.
No change of plan whatever"
This telegram evidently was sent
in reply to an inquiry as to whether
the Republican national committee
had abandoned or changed its plan
to reorganize the party in Georgia
under white leadership.
The, committee of 100 will be com
posed of very prominent white Re-
publicans and near Republicans, it is
stated by those in the confidence OF
the administration. The effort Will
be to make the Republican party
In Georgia an organization which

Bronx Kids Strike for
Scent Soda Water

NEW YORK, July 9.-Proclaiming
themselves on strike against the
high price of ice cream sodas, more
than one thousand Bronx boys and
girls paraded today with the hope
of bringing their favorite drink down
to the old time nickel price. They
marched to the office of Borough
President Bruckner, who operates a
large soda water plant, but they were
told he was out and could not hear
their protests before Monday.
Help the kids of the Bronx get
nickel sodas," read one of the signs
in the parade. Another declared the
youngsters would refuse to pay more
than a nickel. The children visited
several soft drink places charging
more than Is cents for a soda, but
none promised to take the lead in
cutting the price.

Full Text of Knox
Resolution Sent to
Hun Foreign Office

BERLIN, July 9.-Ellis Loring
Dresel, United States commission to
Berlin, today communicated to the
German foreign office an unofficial
copy of the compromise P rter-Knox
resolution ending the state of war
between the United States and Ger
many. This copy was the first
detailed information received by the
Berlin government concerning the
action of the United States.
The afternoon newspapers also
print the full text of the resolution,
of which only a brief review pre-
viously had been given to the Ger
man public. Active unofficial ne
gotiations are being carried on be-
tween the American commission and
the German foreign office concern
ing a final peace treaty.
The reichstag adjourned before
the full text of the peace resolution
was received by Foreign Minister
Rosen, and consequently the docu-
ment was not submitted to the for
eign affairs committee. Although
the reichstag does not reconvene I'M
til September Z, it is likely that the
foreign affairs committee will be
called to Berlin earlier if the peace
treaty negotiations require their
presence. Even the full reichstag
may be reconvened before the date
set, as it is within the power of
President Loebe of that body to do
so if he thinks it necessary.

Captain L S Colyar, Of Chattanooga,

property belonged to the Rome Fur
mace company and the Rome Coal

tons of the finest brown iron ore to
be found in Georgia were shipped
from the mines located on this prop

the mines, because the surface ore
apparently was exhausted and the
deep ore was too difficult to mine at
profit, and the growing of peaches,
apples, cherries, strawberries and
pecans was resorted to A branch
line of the Central of Georgia rail-
road, running from Lyerly to Dew

be necessary for the new concern
to load the iron ore and fruit at
Lyerly
1t is believed by many that the
new company will take steps to re-
open the mines on the property and
engage in the mining business on a
large scale, and such a movement
would mean much to this section,

Ex-Kaiser Protests
Against Paving Taxes

LONDON, July 9.-Former EN-
peror William is in conflict with the
municipal council at Doom over the
question of paying local taxes and
the pressure Of the law is threaten
ed to enforce payment, according to
Doom dispatch to the Daily Mail.
William is said to contend that the
municipality is not entitled to de-
mand the tax levied against him be-
cause he came to Holland "unwitting-
ly" and is practically held prisoner,
therefore, he is not liable to taxa
ton like a free citizen. 1t is main
tanned by majority Of the council
that he came voluntarily and chose
to reside in Doom voluntarily and
that consequently, if he does not pay
legal measures must be taken.
William, it is said, also has pro-
tested against the income tax which,
it was, decided last October he must
paw the Dutch government.

Mystery Man Goes,
Leaving Police as
Puzzled as Ever

The mystery Man" has come and

lanta police department are still as
much puzzled over his identity as
they were on the night of June 8,
when he was arrested by Patrolmen
Bracket and Hale on a charge of
idling and lettering and being a
suspicious character.
He departed from police headquar-
tiers Friday afternoon after all eff
forts on the part of members of the
department to identify him had fail

tillon measurements and finger prints
were sent broadcast throughout the
United States, but no one was found

The man appeared to be about
tWenty-eight years old, we'll bullt,
about five feet eight inches tall;
with dark brown hair. His clothing
was weather beaten, and he wore a
regulation O. D. shirt and brogan
shoes.
When arraigned before Recorder
Johnson on the charge of idling and
lettering he still refused to disclose
his identity, and smilingly received
a sentence of twenty-five days in the
stockade, where he refused point
blank to work or do anything any OF
the stockade officials ordered him to
do. After the sentence at the stock
ade had expired, he was returned to
police headquarters, where he was
held a week in the hope that some
one would identify him.
After his release he was as much
a mystery man as ever, refusing to

A gallcn bucket of green paint
