MYSTERY CAR HO
2 irmTORS' HOPES
Rotary Valve Engine Is
dared Perfected.
De-
IGNITION SYSTEM IS NEW
Change in Mechanism Said to Be
Able to Make Engine Lighter.
Auto to Be in Race.
NEW YORK, May 20. A mystery
car will carry the life hopes of two
inventors when the barrier Is sprung
Memorial day on the oOO-mile sweep
stakes at Indianapolis and If their
words are to be taken as face value,
a victory for them will mean the
loosening of a thunderbolt on the
Internal-combustion engine industry,
automobile, airplane and marine.
Grouped with their assistants In a
greasy office in a more greasy shop
on the upper west side the two in
ventors, Rudolph Wehr and J. H.
Lehman, with great reluctance, partly
lifted the veil of mystery this after
noon, flatly refusing to divulge all
the details, even declining to talk at
first, explaining that they desired
to demonstrate first and tell about it
afterwards.
Rotary Valve Engine Claimed.
Wehr's Invention is the more im
portant of two. He claims to have
perfected the rotary valve engine
the goal of many engineers. He has
spent 14 years, days and nights, with
out previous technical instruction,
evolving a motor, the generated heat
of which does not preclude smooth
opening and closing of a valve with
out exertion of horse power.
The result is an engine, he says, 25
per cent lighter than the present
value type, and of at least 100 fewer
parts. It was arrived at by .engin
eering, calculation and untiring ex
perimenting, he said-, using standard
metal alloys. The saving in fuel con
sumed, in addition to increased effi
ciency, will be incalculable, they de
clare. Ignition Syetem Involved.
The other Invention concerns the
Ignition system substitution of an
alternating current for the direct.
Both have labored here together for
eight years. Alternating Ignition
means higher speed, twin spark and
working from a single break, elimin
ating the pitting of the spark points.
Neither Wehr, Lehman nor L. P.
Come, who is managing their affairs,
would talk about the speed of the
racing car they have conceived but
there are reliable reports that it has
registered between 110 and 120 miles
an hour. It has been tuned up only
in the dead of night on lonely roads
to aid in keeping the secret. It has
25-16-inch bore and 4 3-4 stroke.
, The car will be the most unusual
on the Indianapolis track. It is a
single seater and will carry no mech
anician, only Frank E. Davidson, a
well-known dirt-track pilot,- at the
wheel.

JAPAN RATIFIES TREATY
SHANTUNG AGREEMENT AP
PROVED IJY NATION.
Military Cohorts of Jlikado Said
to Have Begun Withdrawing
From Chinese-Province.
TOKIO, May 20. (By the Associated
Press.) - The Shantung agreement
negotiated with China at the Wash
ington conference was ratified today
by Japan.
PEKIN. May 1. (Correspondence of
the Associated Press.) Japanese mil
itary control in Shantung already is
being withdrawn in accordance with'
the agreement between China and
Japan, signed at Washington last Feb
ruary. Chinese guards have replaced
about one-third of the Japanese troops
on the railroad running 280 miles from
Tsingtao. the seaport, to Tsinanfu,
capital of Shantung province.
Thus history Is reversing itself in
Shantung. Twenty-four years ago
Germany was in the prooess of taking
the province from China. Today Japan
Is restoring it to its original owner.
Withdrawal of the Japanese troops
was agreed upon independently of the
Washington treaty. Commissioners of
each country are ready to proceed to
Shantung to negotiate for the transfer J
or public properties, indemnities for
which yet remain to be fixed. It Is be
lieved that Japan will ask about J10Q,
000 gold for her investments and im
provements In Shantung.
The province now being restored to
China holds an important Industrial
position aside from Its sentimental
value to the republic as the birthplace
of Confucius and the cradle of Chinese
.civilization.
Germany's seizure in 1898 of Tsing
tao bay for a naval base, together
with the surrounding district known
as Kiaochow, formed part of Euro
pean aggression in China in that year.
At the opening of the world war Ja
pan promptly took Kiaochow and the
Tsingtao-Tsinanfu railroad from the
Germans and has held them ever since.
The province of Shantung produces
more human hair for conversion Into
switches and women's hair nets than
any other part of the world. It also
contributes largely to the millinery
In Its manufacture of strawbraid from
which hats are fashioned. Another in
dustry is the making of egg powder.
Millions of eggs annually are dried
and ground into powder for shipment
to countries where fresh eggs are
scarce.
With the advantages of improve
ments made by Germany and Japan,
Shantung never will return- to what it
was before 1898, progressive Chinese
declare. They predict that Tsingtao,
converted by the Germans into a
model city with broad, shaded streets
and substantial buildings of European
architecture, will become a rival of
Shanghai and Pekin, both for busi
ness and tourist travel.

March of Armies Halted by
Genoa Conference.
SESSION HELD DRAMATIC
Lloyd George Asserts Russians
Sincere and That French Peo
ple Anxious for Peace.
LONDON. May 20. (By the Asso
ciated Press.) Premier Lloyd George,
In an interview on his arrival home
today, dwelt mainly on what he char
acterized as "the most dramatic spec
tacle I ever witnessed In any con
ference," when the representatives of
more than 30 nations arose and solem
ly pledged themselves, in the face
of the world, to non-aggression.
"We must remember," he added,
"that only a few weeks ago armies
were massing on frontiers extending
thousands of miles with the evident
intention of marching against each
other. By the Genoa conference their
march has been arrested."
The premier declared himself abso
lutely convinced that the Russians
were sincere in their desire for pacifi
cation and dilated on the significant
xact mat nations which formerly
hardly were on speaking terms, gath
ered around the same table, exchang
ing civilities and courtesies. He be
lieved this better feeling would be
permanent because, as he puts it, "it re
presents a very deep-seated feeling in
the hearts of the people of Europe.
who are tired of fighting and want
peace to resume their ordinary voca
tions." The premier also declared that he
hadn't the faintest doubt that an
overwhelming majority of the French
people desired peace and that what
had been done at Genoa would re
verberate through Europe and Amer
ica because "it has given expression
to something deep in the hearts of
the people."
DELEGATES DESERT GENOA
Lloyd George Is Hopeful of Success
at Further Session at The Hague.

who for six weeks have been par
ticipating In the discussions of the
economic conference, which ad
journed yesterday after having pro
vided for the continuation at The
Hague next month of its efforts to
put European reconstruction on a
more solid basis.
Prime Minister Lloyd George of
Great Britain hurried away to Lon
don last night, expressing optimism
over the future, even though the
ijenoa gathering had not accom
plished everything he had hoped for.
The German and French delegations
were the principal departures this
morning. Both were bidden farewell
at the railway station by Premier
Facta and Foreign Minister Schanzer
of Italy. The motor cars of the de
parting delegations were filled with

JAPANESE ACT LIKE GERMANS,
SAYS NORTHCLIFTE.
Presence of Many Orientals In
British Columbia Resented; .N
merWs Photographers Found.
(Copyright by tha New Tork World. Pub
lished by Arrangement.)
LONDON, May 20. (Special Cable.)
Further passages of Lord North
cliffe's sensational attack on Japan,
made in a speech at the Australian
New Zealand Luncheon club, were
published today. Referring to the
Japanese problem In Australia, the
publisher, who has recently returned
from a trip around the world, said:
"You talk to some Australian and
they say 'We keep 'em out." I say
how do you keep 'em out? You keep
'era out because at present you have
the shelter of the Brtiish fleet; that
is how you keep 'em out. You can
not keep 'em out any other way. Can
Americans, with their gigantic fleet
and army, or the Canadians keep 'em
out? No. I was in Vancouver in
1913 and there were comparatively
few Japanese there. I was there last
July and found British Columbia alive
with Japanese.
"i went a few miles across the seas
to Honolulu arid there the great
American army had been unable to
prevent the population being 63 per
cent Japanese."
Intimating the existence of a vast
Japanese international intelligence
service Lord Northcliffe added:
"There are a gooa many Japanese
'in Australia. It is an extraordinary
thing, wherever you go in the far
east you find Japanese to be a pho
tographers. When 1 landed at Borneo
a member of the government said to
me:
" 'One of the most surprising things
happened to us lately. A Japanese
squadron came in and to our amaze
ment the local photographer, a Jap.
went abroad and spent the day with
the admiral.' '
"That did not strike me as being at
all abnormal. It struck me as being
exactly what the Germans did."
Turning to the question of Japanese
propaganda in England, Lord North
cliffe hurled an advance attack
against those who would write to the
papers criticising his speech. j
"I wonder," he said, "how much Ja
panese propaganda money Is spent in
this town, in this country? You will
find out when you look at the news
papers the letter writers who reply
to this speech. The newspapers of
this country are in no way involved
in it, but you will always find some
surprising letters from curious peo
ple in reply to any criticism of Ja
pan.
"There Is no reply to the fact that
the Japanese are penetrating North
America ana that they have very
covetous eyes on the commonwealth
and the dominions."
"GEN." STACY IS ACCUSED
Home of Nazarene Army Head Is
Raided and Liquor Found.
The home of "General" William
Stacy, leader of the Nazarene army, a
