committee to investigate the shipping

night, as a "Junket." which is the demo
cratic characterization intended to stig
matize all efforts to uncover the mis
use of public funds by administration
agencies in the prosecution of war
activities.
, Private Car Causes Comment.
Great stress is laid on the fact that
the committee left for the Pacific coast
last night in a "sumptuously appointed"
private car.
But this la how the committee hap
pens to travel In a special car: When
the plans were in the making for the
trip, the sergeant-at-arms of the house
got to figuring and discovered that a
private car would effect a great saving
to the government in hotel bills. This
was reason enough for engaging a pri
vate car which will cost a few thou
sand dollars less than hotel accommo
dations along the way. The commit
tee is composed of Representatives
Walsh, chairman, Massachusetts: Kelly
of Michigan, Hadley of Washington
and Foster of Ohio.

BEF1XJN. Aug. 17. (By the Asso
ciated Press.) Special dispatches from
Budapest and Vienna to the Berlin
newspapers concur in designating the
new Hungarian cabinet as a "dilemma
makeshift" whose stability is chiefly
menaced because of the absence of
socialist co-operation and the general
reactionary character of the men sum

whom were identified with the old

As the industrial workers and the
bourgeoisie have not received adequate
representation and the socialists have
not yet Indicated their willingness to

them, the dispatches express doubt
whether the entente will agree to ac

States has finished arming and com
Dieting preparations against the island
empire. Japan will act as it did with
us in 1914, by falling upon America
with an . ultimatum, thereby forcing
upon England the difficult choice be
tween the two nations.
This would change the whole: face of
the results of the world war. It would
accelerate the triumph of Germany by-
means of an alliance which would seek
to lay down the law for the whole
world.
For four years the German people
never heard that their armies had euf-
fered defeat or that their fleet had In
curred serious losses. They heard only
of victory, not of the final triumph of
the allies. If the heaven of hope ever
became clouded, then from mysterious
diplomatic sources came the whisper:
Japaa I'sed to Inspire Hope.
We still have Japan, which con
cluded a firm alliance with us during
the war with Russia, and which will
do nothing for the entente, for it wishes
to settle scores with America and will
not endure England a tyranny of the
sea. Therefore, it spares itself and
strengthens its fleet and finances. Japan
still secretly plays our game, negoti
ations for this purpose were inaugu
rated long ago. through the best channels."
This was a topic for hours of peev
ishness, and Kiaochou was forgiven.
The assertion that negotiations were on
was correct. Japan wa's to mediate for
a separate peace with Russia and
seemed ready to do so. But I never
shared the hope vnich Wilhelmstrasse
set on these negotiatlona. I never
believed Japanese interests could wed
with -German interests.
Japaa Not la Mad Adventure.
Marquis Ichiro Motono, who held the
threads in his hand as Japanese am
bassador to Russia, and who did not
have far to go, from Petrograd to
Stockholm, was from his early Parisian
days a friend of the entente powers.
Japan strictly adheres to its reputation.
As the youngest of the great powers it
wishes, to be no less respected than the
oldest. Surely, it would not do any
thing which would influence the world
to pass a verdict that in matters of
loyalty and of political morality a yel
low natioa stood below a white nation.
So far Japan has fulfilled every In
ternational duty with most punctilious
seal. Should it now break its word
and turn away from the strongest busi
ness concern the world ever saw? Hon
or and advantage counsel against it.
Now the only question is whether
Marquis Motono and his helpers wished
merely to spy into Germany's inten
tions and to win Germany's confidence
for all future contingencies or for the
nearer eventuality of German victory.
which at any rate appeared thinkable,
or whether Japan wished to secure for
tself leadership in the peace prelimi
naries and unassailable preponderance
in the far east.
Out of the negotiations. In which cap
tains of Industry and other outsiders
participated, nothing tangible came. I
must emphasize in this connection that
officially there was talk only of peace
mediation, not of alliance.
Treaty Shows No Alliance.
Out of Russia, from the bolshevik
arsenal of documents has come the as
sertion that much later, in the very
last period of the war, a German-Jap
anese treaty of alliance was discussed,
drafted and perhaps even concluded.
I know this treaty. It embraces
nine articles. In the first article Ger
many and Japan- pledge themselves.
as soon as the world's political situation
shall permit, "to helD Russia toward !
ordered conditions and to a position
of great power and to take it Into al
liance" with themselves.
In the second article Japan pledges
ltseit to let Germany participate In the
advantages which the alliance with
Russia will bring to Japan in central
Asia and Persia and to assure for Ger
many a favored nation position by
treaty with Russia.
By the third article Germany is to
receive its share in concessions in
south China and whatever favored na
tions rights Japan may obtain there,
and Germany in turn promises to as
sist Japan in preventing new Asiatic
concessions to America and to England.
- According to the fourth article, Ja
pan engaged indirectly to protect Ger
man interests at the peace conference
so that hard territorial and economic
conditions would be softened in a man
ner bearable for the conquered.
By the fifth article, as soon as Rus
sia can be restored. Japan will use Its
influence with Russia to procure and
conclude a political-military-economic
insurance treaty with Germany; and
the sixth article provides that Germany
shall conclude a naval and military
convention with Japan, the object of
such a treaty being mutual defense
and insurance against aggressive plans!
Dy America ana England, the details to
be worked out by plenipotentiaries of
both powers immediately after the con
clusion of peace.
Memorandum Added to Document.
The seventh article recites that this
secret treaty shall lay down guiding
lines for the foreign policy of the three
powers, and the various articles can
become definite and fixed only after
the resurrection of Russia. Articles
eight and nine deal with the means of
ratification and also the means by
which the treaty may be discontinued.
After the exchange of ratifications
only the fourth .article was at first to
come into force. A memorandum was
appended to this strange document
which the bolsheviki attributed to the
last Japanese ambassador to Berlin.
The memorandum said that the Ger
man government had striven too long
against a peace of understanding with
Russia because it feared that without
the bugaboo of cxarism Russia could
not "hold the social democrats to the
war flag;" and that the German gov
ernment had made previous exorbitant
German demands, that it was sure a
bridge to the near and the far east
could no longer be built.
And so the reign of bolshevism had
been prolonged, the desertion of Bul
garia, the collapse of Turkey and the
disintegration of Austria-Hungary had
been brought about.
Now the only visible way out, aV
cording to the memorandum, was by
a German-Russian-Japanese alliance,
whose existence must cause America
and England to become Bhy with fear
and to give way. These two English
speaking nations would soon fall out
with each other, for England would
never carry through President Wilson's
principle of the right of self-determination
by peoples.
Berlin and Tokio Both Deny Treaty.
Officials both in Berlin and Tokio
declare that both the treaty and the
memorandum were forged, and that
they had heard of them only through
rumor. . It seems to me not impossible
that dilettanti, busybodies and over
zealous diplomats carpentered the draft
and hoped for laurels for themselves
from it.
Germany no longer has an army or
navy and Is burdened with a load of
obligations, threatening to crush it.
Japan has entered the highest council
of the western powers and the league
of nations.
The time for sowing discord and of
menacing neighbors by means of secret
treaties has passed.

NEW TORK. Aug. 17. (Special.)
A score or more detectives and men
from the homicide bureau of police
headquarters today continued searching
for the slayer" of Cecil JLandon of Port
land. Or., a discharged army sergeant,
killed in the McAlpin hotel last
Wednesday night. The autopsy proved
that he. had been killed by a blow on
the head, delivered while he slept.
identification of the body as that-of
Cecil E. Landon was made by Alfred
Vos of this city and others who came
over as soldiers with him on the steam
ship Great Northern.
The only trinkets left among Lan
don's effects were a silver ring with
the word "Mizpah" across the front and
on one side the initials "F. P. in
heart, and opposite them the initials
"C. L."; and a small black penknife.
Vos said that he and Landon were
both discharged at Mitchell field,
August 12. Sergeant Landon, Vos said.
had told him that he was a student at
the University of Oregon before he went
overseas two years ago. '
Police Mike No Progress.
Officers and plain-clothesmen said
that they were no nearer to finding
the man wfco registered as "D. J. Pou-
ver" and who occupied a room with
Sergeant Landon at the McAlpin hotel
thfui they, had been at the start. They
intimated that he seemed to be a per
son who had struck up an acquaint
ance with Landon at it service club on
West Twenty-seventh street and ac
companied Landon when he purchased
civilian apparel.
Questioned about the unfortunate
man, the officer in charge of the case
said that he did not for a minute en
tertain any doubt about the accuracy
of the Identification as Cecil E. Landon
of Portland, Or. Last night. effort was
made to trace Sergeant Landon's bag
gage and belongings, which to date
hhave not been found. It is possible that
a search of the unclaimed baggage at
Hoboken will reveal them.
There was no evidence of liquor about
the room or anything to indicate that
Sergeant Landon had been under the
Influence of it.
:00 In Cash Missing.
Everything in the room was in order
and the theory is held by the police
that the slayer waited until Landon
was asleep, then struck him with an
electric torch, supposedly to render him
unconscious. It is believed that he
tried to revive his victim later. Of the
$200 which Landon is said to have pos
sessed, nothing remained but a few
foreign coins. It is believed that he
was the innocent victim of misplaced
confidence.
There has been a widespread epi
demic of robbery of service men in New
York during the homeward troop move
ment, which . has increased until It
reached what is believed to be the cli
max in this most recent outrage. Daily
every service club receives reports of
robberies of soldiers' and sailors, and
men just discharged from the service.
The man who registered with Lan
don as D. J. Pouver, was about 5 feet
4 inches, heavy set, very dark.
A coffeet pot from a New York res
taurant, of which there is a large chain,
was the only object of outside interest
found in the room.
