Still nearly $1000000 short of the
quota with only $69830 reported as
the result of Monday a and Tuesday’s*

went up at the noon luncheon of the
Victory Loan workers Tuesday at Jie ।

The words were those of Franz Groos.

WILSON HOLDS
LENGTHY TALK
WITH BNESt
Kiaochau Issue Presumed
to Have Been Discussed at
Conference Tuesday.
COMPROMISE IS LIKELY
Japs Deny Their Demands
Are in Any Way Associated
With Italian Crisis.
Pxris. April 29.—BrfoiM- the mrctin
of thr Council of Three this mornint
President Wilson received Baron Ma-
kino he»d of the Japanese mission and
Viscount Chinda his colleague. Their
conference lasted nearly an hour. Pre-
suinaMy the question of Kiaoibau was
under discussion.
The council at the bexmuing of its
session received a committee from the
Belgian cabinet and gave it a hearing
regarding the question of indemnities.
Barou Makino and Viscount Chinda
remained with the council throughout its
session which was a protracted one.
JAOS NOT TO QLIT PARIS.
Deny Rumors They Are Preparing to
Fellow Example of Orlando.
By PAUL 8« <»TT MOH R ER.
Special cable to Tho san Antonin Light
ana th. Chicago Dally K.**
Cop.riant r-rs. bv Chicago Dally News CO.
Paris April 29.—The Japanese-Chin-
ese controversy over Kiaochau and
Shantung is still undecided. It II un-
derstood that Mr. Wilson inclines slight-
ly towards favoring China. Britain
and France bound themselves in 11)17 to
support the Japanese claims and Italy
having been informed of this agree-
ment. expressed no objection.
The Japanese deny absolutely the ru-
mors that they are preparing to with-
draw from the conference. "There is no
similarity between the Fiume question
and the Shantung question" one mem-
ber of the Japanese delegation said to
me. "We have no understanding with
Italy and what Italy does docs not con-
cern our attitude.”
The Japanese still believe that the
question will he settled in their favor ;
"If it should not be so decided." added i
the delegate "then of course the only
thing we can do is to pack up and go.
But we do not expect such an eventual-
ity.”
Japan Insists on Treaty.
The dispute may be summarized thus:
China wants Shantung Mid Kiaochau
given back tn her without compensa-
tion of any kind on the ground that her
declaration of war against Germany
freed her from the former treaty oblign-^
tions :wd on the ground that the treaty'
with .Japan was unjust anyway. Japan
holds strictly to the treaty. She agrees
to give Shantung and Kiaochau back to
1 China but stipulates that Kiaochau bay
I must be Opened ns a commercial port.;
i that Japan must be given a concession!
I in the port and that the allies must
also be given concessions if they want
them. The Japanese must be allowed!
to co-operate witli the Chinese in the
operation of the Tsingtao-Tsiuam rail-1
way ami that an agreement must be
reached between the Chinese and the
Japanese for the disposition of the for-'
nier German state property in the dis-
puted provinces.
Compromise Seems Ukcly.
It is claimed by the Japanese that
China did not lift a finger to help them
drive the Germans from the far cast
and indeed placed obstacles in their
way. The taking of T’ingtao cost the
Japanese 18th) lives and several million
dollars which while insignificant com-
pared with the losses of the other allied
powers in the great world war is great
compared with anything China has done I
in the common cause.
The Japanese stand absolutely on the
principle that their treaty with China
must not be regarded as a sr-rap of pa
per. They charge China with duplicity
in trying to play Japan against the
United Stat*'.
Some of the American delegates b«
lieve that inasmuch a« there is no fun
damental difference on the question of j
giving Kiaochau and Shantung ha.-k to
China a compromise regarding the con-
ditions under which this restitution shall
take place can he reached which will
satisfy both parties.
THE LAW D W AS GOOD TO

Col. Robert Whitfield of the general'
Maff. was mor* and more nnno\e<|
when month after month pa**cd and
brought no sign of the s3<Whi worth of
Libertv Bond* he had ordered from n
bank in Arkansas. But annoyan**
warcely describes the emotion he felt
when the bank repli^l coldly thnt they
not only had sent the bonds but held '
hi* receipt for them.
The colonel wrote the bankers thnt
they were a bunch of <r«M>k-. or word*
to that effect and he also got a l*tter
to the attorney general off his chest. ।
The bunk countered with a certified
copy of the receipt and there it was
signed “Robert Whitfield Private.
Company 1 30th Infantry. ’
Still somewhat rufflwl but more 1
hopeful. Colonel Whitfield wrote a let-'
