He declined to discuss the American act until he Had reported to Baron Shidehara, but said the question could not be solved hurriedly. He did not expect that it would be taken up again before the American elections.

 tians Missed

Weston, w. Va. Aug. 4.-There was one plague which the Egyptians missed, but which Weston is enduring in anguish of spirit-to wit, skuns.

They invade theaters, stores and church. They apparently have discovered that they are immune from attack and have become naughty and impudent. Even a dash to the cor ner for package of cigarettes has become an adventure.
 The local post of the American Le- zion has chosen committee to con- fer with Mayor Edmiston in the hope of hitting upon some effective method of dealing with the invaders.
