the expeditions are there to protect life
and property.
However. the unanimous reports of
American observers are that the
Japanese expeditions have fomented
most of the disorders in that coun-
try, that Siberia has run red with
!. blood as result of their activities
and that even today midwinter cam
paign is being waged with all its at
tendant suffering and death for the
Siberian natives.
One much discussed transfer of
funds to Semionoff by Japanese Off
GERS took place last year In. Janu-
ary, when the kappel troops were
being brought into the Vladivostok
area by the Japanese. Gen. Nerga-
bitsky. their commander. gave 1900
600 gold rubles (S600,000D for safe
keeping to Col. Isome. the diplomatic
officer in Siberia for the Japanese
army general staff. When the Kappel
troops requested its return Col: 1some
informed them that he had given it
to Semionoff, then in Tsingrao The
army headquarters announced this at
the time. Col. 1Some. who frequently
expressed his opinions of Americans
in language too vulgar and vindic-
has since been transferred from
Siberia.
Deny Reports of Disorders
Reports that there were no disor-
ders in Siberia last year outside of
the areas of the Japanese were made
at different times by James F Abb

American embassy at Toxic: Lieut.

were in the country and by others
who now are in Washington.
A letter was received yesterday by
A. C. Veatch, now in Washington,
from an American friend who has
been in Chita for some time. Writ
ing under date of November 26, he
says:

If the Japanese expeditions are to
remain in Siberia until order is re-
stored, and the expeditions are at the
same time preventing the restoration,
it Is evident that the Japanese army
plan Is to- make the occupation per-
manent. On the day the American
troops left Vladivostok, March 81,
1920, Toxic announced that the Jap
anese would evacuate as soon as the
Czechoslovaks were repatriated. The
last Czechoslovak unit sailed on an
American transport seventeen months
ago. Japan may change her plans

for interest payments. The French,

debt to America in their list of
published liabilities, it was pointed
out by one member of the cabinet
political debt to America due to
the war" The impression given is
that in their minds they have can
celed the debt.
No Proposal Decided On.
Not single proposal has been decided
upon by the Harding cabinet looking
toward European relief through eco
nomic channels, for while business men
may be shouting about the necessity of
change. the viewpoint of the government
Is that every plan finally hinges upon
two questions-German reparations and
the readiness of European governments
to reduce military and naval expendi-
lures. Something toward that end has
been accomplished at the Washington
conference, but not enough. America has
tried her hand at the armament ques-
ton. Now let Europe try something and
propose it to America. That's the official
view This country will not be found
adopting an ObStructiOnlSt attitude, but
will listen to any plan that really SHOWS
promise of affording the whole world
some relief. There is no intention to use
the war debt as a means of embarrassing
European credit. Not a step has been
taken yet at which Europe could take
offense, but if the nations across the
sea want their wealthy creditor on this
side of the Atlantic to help them they
must first show a genuine desire to help
themselves.
Europe Must Take Lead.
The informal opinion-not express
ed to any government in Europe-but
evolved here merely as an answer to
the European demand for American
participation, is that Europe must
do certain things before America can
be of any substantial assistance:
First. Budget must be balanced and
moneys spent on land armies reduced.
Pledges must be given that no more
money will be spent on navies.
Second. Internal taxation must be
systematically begun everywhere.
Third. German reparations must be
adjusted on reasonable and equita-
BILE basis.
When all these things are salts
factorily accomplished America will
be ready to negotiate the funding of
war debts and the handling of in
terest payments. Ambassador Harvey
has been told to advise his colleagues
at the supreme council that America
has tried her hand already by regard
ing armament as the basis of the
whole economic situation and that it
is now Europe's turn to offer a bet
ter plan. America will listen and ex-
press herself in due time.

Follows Family Tradition.
Thus was enacted the final scene in
the career of man who could have
had one of the largest, funerals in the
history of the city. Political leaders
from every county in the state came
to Philadelphia within the last few
days to do honor to the dead chieftain,
and not one was invited to the bach
elor home of the senator. where many
political conferences have been held.
Questions had been asked why the
family desired secrecy in the burial of
the senator. and the answer of close
political friends was that Penrose
hated pomp and ceremony and that it
probably was his wish that he be
buried as simply and with as little
commotion as possible. 1t is said to
have been tradition in the Penrose
family, which is one of the Oldest in
the city, that all funerals Of members
be strictly private.
Later in the day Senator Penrose's
secretary. l.. C. Taylor, who was dis
inclined to talk, said there was some
sort of service at the grave. He said
he did not know who conducted it.
Mr.. Taylor said Senator Penrose
tended only three in seventeen years,
those of two local political leaders
and Senator Knox.
Interest is manifested among the
late senator's friends as to the dis
position of his estate. He was re-
garded as quite wealthy. 1t was said

 Found m Jackson
By FRED IT. GnRMJ1Ex Montgomery Bureau. 1he Age Herald. 22I-2 First National Bank Buiidlng

Montgomery, March 13.-(Speeial.) Reports which reached Montgomery late Monday told of the finding Of the body of Fayette Jones, escaped convict, near where Jones and others engaged in a battle with officers of the federal government and Jackson county near the Jackson bor- der and of indications that Jones, after being mortally wounded, haa taken his own life with a rifle which was found near by. The body was found propped against tree, accord ing to the story The information came to the law enforcement depart ment but could not be confirmed dur ing the evening.
 Jones and others were in pitched battle more than a month ago. He and a man named Johnson were seen to fall. The officers pursued others in the party and when they returned they picked up Johnson but Jones could not be found. Johnson died later. The theory is that Jones crawl ed away and hid himself after being wounded mortally, that after remain ing there for some time and realiz- ing that help could not be obtained and that he would die he sent a rifle bullet through his brain. A rifle, three pistols and knife were found near by according to the report. An empty rifle cartridge was picked up not far from, the body, indicating that it was automatically elected from the rifle.
 Jones was convicted of murder in Jackson county in 1917, given IS years. He escaped from Wetumpka prison in 1920.
