Y. M. C. A. WAR WORK'
EXTOLLED BY PERKINS.
New York, May 6. George W.
Perkins, chairman of the finance
committee of the Young Men's
Christian association, made public
here tonight his report as investi
gator into theefficiency and service
of the organization overseas.
"The Y. M. C. A. undoubtedly
made mistakes," Mr. Perkins said.
"But what it tried to do was to
respond to every call that the army
made on it. It did not sidestep
any task that it was asked to per
form. i "That the Y. M. C. A. workers as
i a whole were brave and unselfish is
shown by the fact that 14 secre
taries were killed, and 126 others
were wounded," he declared.
i Regarding the charge of profi
teering in supplies, Mr. Perkins' re
port said:
'The statement has been fre
quently made that the Y. M. C. A.
charged higher prices for canteen
supplies than the army did. This
was true at certain periods, when
the cost of transportation was ex
ceedingly high and when it was im
possible to determine costs ac
curately. But the final results of
the Y. M. C A. canteen service
will show a substantial loss."

JAPANESE
ENRAGED
AGAINST
AMERICA
Newspaper Agitation Inciting
Bitterness Toward U. S.;
Wilson Denounced . as
ypocrite" and "Despot."
Tokio.'May 7. (By the Associ
ated Press) The anti-American
campaign in the Japanese press con
tinues with renewed force. No se
ricus " overt acts have been com
mitted against Americans or Amer
ican property, but evidence exists
that the newspaper agitation is in
citing popularjfeeling against Amer
ica and thus paving the way to pos
sible open demonstrations.
Representative Japanese deplore
the press campaign and have begun
to critfeise the government for its
failure to check the literary out
bursts. The participants in a mass meet
ing held Sunday, at which some
anti-American speeches were deliv
ered, announced their intention of
continuing the demonstration in
front of the American embassy. The
police, however, prevented this step.
Fear U. S. Influence.
NThe belief is expressed that the
basis for the agitation is fear of the
growing influence of the United
States in international affairs - and
that it will act as a curb on Japan's
aspirations in China and Siberia.
After declaring that renewed at
tempts for anti-Japanese legislation
on the Pacific slope indicate that the
Arnericans persecute Japan in every
thing, while wearing the mask of
liberty and fairness, the Hochi Shim
bun charges the Americans with hav
ing "incited the, Chinese to make the
secret treaties, public and also accuse
American missionaries of fomenting
the Korean insurrection. N
- Denounce Wilson.
The Torodzu Chodo says the
Americans responsible for attempts
at anti-Japanest legislation are noth
ing better than barbarians.
"Hypocrite," "despot," "trans
formed kaiser," "man with the voice
of an angel, but with ideas of the
devil" are some of the epithets ap
plied by the newspapers to Presi
dent Wilson. s . .
Today's newspapers print articles
accusing Americans and British in
China with inciting the Chinese to
the. recent Chinese-Japanese agita
tion in Peking. , v
At a meeting of the Kokuminto
party held in Osaka, a resolution
was passed declaring that recogni
tion of the Monroe doctrine by the
league of nations should be interpre
ted as recognition of Japan's pre
dominance in the far east.

Saunders County Delegation
AsksPaved Road to River;
Organize Campaign for
New Bridge.
A delegation of 30 citizens of
Saunders county met yesterday
with the Douglas county commis
sioners and presented their argu
ment for paving Center street from
Omaha to ithe Platte river.
"Saundert county will do its part
to build a bridge across the Platte
river at the end of the Center
street road," said State Senator E.
E. Placek. "All we want is the
assurance of Douglas- county that
Center street will be paved.
"The hauling business-by truck
is growing by great leaps. We want
this bridge and paved road for the
good of Omaha and of Saunders
county because the hauling of live
stock and farm products by truck
to Omaha and the hauling back of
merchandise from Omaha to the
farms is becoming more and more
the rule. We intend to "build for
the benefit of the farming and in
dustrial interests, -not for the joy
riders." .
' All the county commisisonefs
spoke and told the Saunders county
people that Douglas county will un
doubedly pave Center street to meet
the bridge after being assured that
the bridge will be built. The corrp
missioners said they had heard that
Saunders county was financially un
able to pay its share toward build
ing the bridge at this time.
Organize forNBridge.
The state pays half the cost of
the, bridge and Douglas and -Saunters
counties pay one-fourth each.
Douglas county, the commissioners
said, is ready to pay its share of
building the bridge at any time.
The Saunders county delegation
declared that their county is able to
pay its share toward building the
bridge, which share will be about

commissioners give them a room to
hold a meeting in. Within IS min

TRADERS
BY BARNES
Threat to Prohibit Dealing in
Futures Made by Grain Ad
" ministrator in Speech
to Chicago Board.
Chicago, May 6. Julius H. Barnes,
national wheat administrator, said
in an address today to members
of the Chicago board of trade, that
the' act establishing the food admin
istration gave authority to control
trading in foodstuffs on exchanges
to the extent of prohibiting future
trading altogether.
He siid the act was still m effect
and that his duty was inperative if
demonstrated abuse should arise.
Mr. Barnes questioned frankly
whether a fluctuation in corn prices
such as took place in Chicago yes
terady, a rapid break of 10 or 12
cents followed by a quick reaction
of 5 to, 6 cents, was not a clear
indication of speculation on so large
a scale that it was over-balancing
legitimate functions.
Touch of Dramatic in Scene.
There was a touch of the dramatic
in the appearance of Mr. Barnes in j
the quotations room of the trading
floor, for yesterday was not the
first time that an utterance of Mr.
Barnes has upset the calculations
of traders.
The crowd was bullish yesterday
and building thereon with due con
sideration to muddy roads, rain and
other factors making for higher
prices. Their buying had run the
price to a new htglmrecprd forjhe
crop, when out 6f the clear sky there
came from Minneapolis Mr. Barnes'
statement that wheat was to be im
ported in moderate quantities from
Canada. ' , '
Prices dropped 10 to 12 cents and
there (were among Mr. Barnes' lis
teners today many who lost money
in the slump. They regarded him
as one who had thrown a monkey
wrench into the machinery, al
though Mr. Barnes had given ample
warning a week or so before that
he would take just such action if
speculation in flour was not curbed.
Many members of the board pres
ent today knew the grain dictator
personally, but to more he was a
stranger. When his tall, athletic
figure appeared, a whisper went
around:
"Why, he's young, isn't he?"
Mr. Barnes, it was admitted, is
the biggest figure in the grain trade
of the world by reason of his po
sition, and the traders noted his
youngish look and his healthy crop
of light brown flair with surprise
and interest.
Sympathizes With Losers.
Before-, the government drafted
him Mr. Barnes was a keen trader
himself, and phases of his speech
indicated that he. sympathized with
the feelings of those who had been
hit. Nevertheless, Jie warned them
with "half the world in chaos," as
he phrased it, business must be tem
pered with sentiment To one who,
like himself, had visited Belgium, the
sentiment came overwhelmingly.
"I know that the food administra
tor relies on the officers of this ex
change, and others,- to protect this
situation in the public interest, and

DIGEST OF
TREATY TO
BE GIVEN
TO WORLD
Foch Holds Security to France
Inadequate; vltaly, China'
and Portugal Make -Reservations.
(By the Associated Press.)
All is in readiness for the pre
sentation Wednesday afternoon of
the peace treaty to Germany,
. The small powers have been ap
prised of the contents of the mo
mentous document, and all that re
mains is to call the German dele-
gates before the peace congress at
Versailles and hand to them - the.
treaty.
The terms admittedly will be hard
for Germany, but it is asserted that
there is but one road for her to fol
low if she is to obtain the return of
peace and the chance to rehabilitate
herself economically. Acquiescence
even to a demand for the trial of
their former imperial jmaster. Wil
liarn Hohenzollern, which is under
stood to have been incorporated in
the treaty is to be requqired.
Reports say the complete econ
omic isolation of the country is be-
ing considered if Germany should
decline to affix its signature' to the
treaty.
; Dissent Among Powers. ,
There is still dissent among the
allied and associated powers over
some provisions of the treaty. Chief
among the objectors is Italy, with
Fiume and the Dalmatian coast the
point in dispute. v Italy's chief dele
gates to the peace conference did
not visit Versailles Tuesday afters
noon when the treaty was read to
the smaller powers,' but are expect
ed to be present Wednesday. - Their
credentials already have been hand
ed to the Germans. The Italians
were represented at the Session
Tuesday by Signor Silvio Crespi,
who made reservations concerning
any provisions of the peace treaty
which are not acceptable to Italy.
The Chinese delegates have reit
erated their protest concerning the.,
disposytion of Kiao-Chau, and Port
ugal expressed dissatisfaction
against the treatment accorded the
republic. - (
Terms Opposed by Foch.
Marshal Fochalso has expressed
opposition to the treaty as it stands
and declared it to be his opinion
that it should not be signed, as the
military security given France is in
adequate. The marshal emphasized the
nece"Mty of France holding the
bridge heads along the Rhine and
said that occupation limited to 15
years was not sufficient.' -
Nevertheless the treaty as formu
lated is to be placed in the hands
of the Germans according to the lat
est reports from Paris.
Terms Communicated
to Associated Powers
Paris, May 6. (By the Associated
Press.) The plenary peace confer
ence completed its work today sT
far as Germany is concerned and at,
a secret plenary session communi-'
cated the terms of the peace treaty
