Pact Made Last Year To Assist Hon
Aggression in Asia and Got,
way to British India.
Washington, July 29. Revelation
o secret treaties between Japaa and
Germany In 1918, iy which they era
to divide Russia between them ana
Germany was to be helped to an at
tack upon the gateway to British pos
sessions in India, has startled the
Senate.
The texts of the documents, which
were placed in the record by Senator
Ledge, have made an even greater
sensation in view of the President's
willingness at Versailles to placate
Japan by giving her the Shantung
peuinsula in order to gain her sup
Dort for the league of nations cov
enant. Benign and altruistic is the word
ing of the Insidious pact wheh de
clares that "both high contracting
parties bind themselves as soon as
he world situation permits to help
he third party, Russia, to obtain un
der their direction the settlement of
her Internal affairs and the position
of a world power." This is taken here
o mean that one would have taken
iver Siberia in accordance with her
ambition to dominate all of Asia, and
he other would have taken European
Russa in accordance with Hohenzol-
ern ambition.
Germany, prior to her recent de
mise as a world power, had had a de
sire to supplant Russia as the antag-
nist of the British Empire on the
fghanlstan frontier and eventually
eize India. This explains the word
ing of the second paragraph of the
reaty: "One of the high contrasting
parties, Japan, binds herself to allow
he other high contracting party,
Germany, the enjoyment of the per-
ogatives growing out of her treaties
vith the third party, Russia, as far as
oncerns Central Asia and Persia,
and assist in the conclusion of a most-
:'avored-natlon treaty with mutual
(reciprocal) guarantees between the
hird power and the two contracting
parties." It was only the revolution
.n Germany which prevented the car-
ylng out of the terms and their ex
posure through the seizure of the pa
)ers.
Thus it Is seen that Japan has been
playing against the cause of the Allies
xni with their enemy, Germany, tc
mbdue a country, Russia, with which
.hey have also been at war. China
was the friendly ally of the United
jtates and Great Britain in the war.
ret to please Japan and get its con
sent to Join the league fo nations,
Shantung is given to Japan after be
ing wrested from China, with whlcl.
both Great Britain and United States
had treaties to respect her terrltoria
integrity. Furthermore, In January
1917, Great Britain informed China
jf the "support, frlsndship and soli
darity" of His Majesty's Government.

American Legion Notes.
A button adopted by the National
Executive Committee of the Ameri
can Legion as the official emblem of
the national organization of Ameri
can veterans of the Great War will
be distributed in a few days to local
posts of the Legion throughout Orb

ton, unless changed by the National
convention at Minneapolis in Novem
ber, will also be used as the basis for
die official seal of the Legion.
The button is three quarters of an
inch in diameter. It consists of a cen
tral small replica of the regulation
oronze five pointed star discharge
outton, surrounded by a narrow cir
cular band of blue enamel, containing
he words "American Legion" in gold
letters. The button has a fluted gold

Those Who Delay Orderin:
Longer May Not Get Their
Fuel Later On.
The United States Geologl -nl Surve;
announces from Washington the proli
ability of another general coal short
age next fall and winter. The an
nouncement Is bused, the Survej
states, upon a nation-wide study of
conditions In the bituminous field
Unless steps are taken at once, thr
Survey says, to pluce the mines upon
a basis of Increased production then
Is every prospect of a repetition to
some decree of the situation that pre
vailed In the L'niteil States during the
winter of 1917-18.
The only way production can he stim
ulated at the present time, It Is said, Is
by placing orders with the mines for
coal which will be needed later on.
"Production during the first five months
of the year," reads the statement, "fell
57,292,000 net tons, or approximately
25 below production during the firsl
five months of 1918. Mines are produc
ing coal now at the rate of from 8,000,
000 to 8,o00,000 tons a week. An aver
age output of 10,700,000 tons a week
roust be maintained from June 1 to
January 1 next If the country's esti
mated needs of 500,000,000 tous this
year are to be met."
Evil of Delayed Orders.
At no time during this year has the
rate of production approached the re
quired tonnage. The tendency on the
part of buyers to hold off placing their
orders Is limiting production, as the
mines cannot store coal at the point of
production, and when the rush, of
orders for the winter's needs conies
next full there Is grave dunger thai
the mines, with depleted labor forces
and the probability of less adequate
transportation, will be unuble to meet
the demands. The result of such a sit
uation would be an Insufficient supply
for the requirements of domestic con
sumers, public utilities and Industrial
users generally.
"II Is believed that requirements for
this year," reads a Survey stntement
to Fuel Administrator Garfield, "will
be about 530,000,000 tons of bituminous
coal, of which approximately 30.000,000
tone have been used from stocks accu
mulated last year, leaving 500.000.000
tons to be produced. Of this 500,000,
000 tons 178,000,000 tons were produc
ed during the first five months, leaving
822,000,000 tons to be produced in the
remaining 30 weeks, or an average of
10,700,000 tons a week.
"Thus far this year production has
been at the rate of 8,200,fXI tons a
week. In 1018 production was at the
rate of 11,300,000 tons a week.
"This production will be difficult of ac-
comnllRhment The capacity of opernt
Ing mines at the present time with labor
now on the payroll Is about 10 lower
than It was last year. This deficiency
may be made up In part or wholly If
the mines have orders sufficient to run
them five or six days a week unless the
threatened exodus of foreign-born labor
occurs.
May Be Car Shortage.
"Present wage ngrement between
perators and miners expire with
the proclamation of peace by tne pres
ident' A suspension of mining oper
atlons while a new wage agreement Is
being negotiated would, of course, serl
ously Interfere with the production of
coal and If It should occur during the
fall would cause a panic among buyers
and consumers of coal.'
There is no use In gambling upon
this or any other contingency, fnl ad
ministration officials suy. The firm or
Individual who wants to be sure of an
adequate coal supply next winter run
be certain by buying coal now. There
Is no other way such assurance
can be obtained. Transportation also
promises to be 8 limiting factor If the
flood tide of demand comes ut a time
when the country's record crops ure
being carried. In some ' districts It
would appear certain that, notwitn-
standing the utmost endeavors of I In?
Railroad Administration and the mil
izatlon of Us experience last fall, car
shortage will be a. cause limiting huti
ml nous coal production, and for tint
reason It Is problematical whether the
expected production of 500,000,000 tout
can he attained this year.
Shortage of labor ulrcady Is a fac
tor that Is cutting down (he output In
some coal producing sections, accord
Ing to the Survey's report. The opera
tors report that from 3(1000 to 40 OW
foreign-born miners expect to re'urn to
Europe as soon as they can gel pass
ports and that many have already re
turned. If continued tnis movemcn
1 will be capable of producing but om
I result a reduction of the amount nl
coal mined in districts where the mint
I labor Is largely foreign born, and tliurt
! are many such districts.
He who needs coal should hesliuti
no longer. Now Is the time to bu.

Despite its scope Swift &

attention.
Experienced men must know
livestock buying with a knowl
edge of weight, price, the amount ,
and quality of meat the live
animals will yield.
Each manufacturing operation must
be done with expert skill and scientific
precision. A highly perishable product
must be handled with speed and care
to avoid loss.
Chemists, engineers, accountants,
and other specialists are required to
take care of our intricate problems.
Alert wisdom and judgment must
be used in getting stocks of goods into
the open channels of demand through
our four hundred branch houses.
Branch house organizations must
show activity and energy to sell at the
market in the face of acute competi
tion from other large packers, and
hundreds of small ones.
All these requirements of intelligence,
loyalty, devotion to the task, are met
in the personnel of Swift & Company.
