Detroit, Mich.-Henry Ford had no
occasion to .outstep either of his com

Motor company, as one withdrew
when the bidding commenced and the
other declined Ford's initial bid Of
$8,O00,OO0, which carried.
In one of the widest demonstra-

troit, while hundreds of stockholders
of the defunct concern and thousands
of unemployed fought with each other
for points Of vantage, the sale was
consummated in 45 seconds. The

SHANTuNG PACT SIGNED.
Japs and Chinese Sign Treaty Which
Puts shantung Back Under Chi
nese Control-Hughes Halls
anew Era"

Washington-The arms conference
made the last entry on it's record of
achievements and prepared for sine
die adjournment
At four-hour plenary session two
more treaties and half dozen supple
mental resolutions were passed
through the final stage of conference,
approved, and then the delegates ex-
changed farewell courtesies in
series Of speeches expressing univer
sal satisfaction over the results of the
ton just ended.
The two treaties accepted formally
at the session both relate to China
one providing for revision of the
Chinese customs system and the other
embodying Elihu Roots -four points"
and the amplified open door. Some
of the separate resolutions put on the
record deal with collateral Chinese
questions, but included in the lot was
a supplement to the four-power Paci-
fic treaty excluding from the scope of
the agreement the principal islands Of
the Japanese empire.
Shantung Pact Signed.
A few hours after the plenary ses-
sion adjourned the Japanese and Chi
nese met and affixed their signatures
to the treaty by which Shantung is to
be returned to Chinese control.
Although the long-debated Shantung
question occupied key position in
the conference program the negotia-
tions by which it was settled proceed
ed outside the conference proper, and
the only two Oriental powers we're
: made parties to the resulting treaty.
Every delegation had voice in the
final session of oratory that really
brought the work of the conference to
"a close, and every spokesman predict
aed that the negotiations at Washing
} ton would bulk large in the history of
the world. r.
Secretary Hughes, for the United
States, and Arthur j. Balfour for
Great Britain, hailed the conference
accomplishments as ushering in a
new era" of International under
standing, and Albert Sarraut, for
France, eulogized the record of
achievements as constituting the "1of-
tiest precedent of mankind" Similar
expressions came from all the other
national groups.
