China Holies on Paris
China is relying on the peace con- :

Advices from the Orient through

ister with statements of the friend

mrnt, was told frankly that the for
eign minister di.l not see how at this
time the United States or Great
Britain could divert their attention
to the Orient, wnm Ire Euronoar. sit- j
nation demanded so much attention. '
Say Treaties \Y ere Stolen
When the Chinese peace delegates
arrived in Paris, the information now
available discloses, >hey reported
that the copies of the secret treaties
were stolen from their baggage while
they were passing through Japan, and
consequently, they were'unable to
carry out their purpose of making
them public at the conference.
Officials of the State Department
declined to make any formal com
ment to-day on the situation. The
impression was given that the whole
matter was being handled in Paris.
According to the reports received i
here, tin- threats against China were
conveyed to the Chinese foreign
minister by the Japanese minister in
Peking in tliinly veiled terms. The
Japanese minister is said to have
pointed out that Japan had an army
of more than a million men idle at
home, fully equipped and with units
and munitions enough to conduct a
long war, an dto have pointed out
that Japan had moie than a half
million tons of shipping, with the
intimation that this would 1M- ready
on short notiee for active work. He
also is said to have referred point
edly to large sums of money owed
to Japan by China, and to the fact
that China had been unable to live
up to lier financial agreements.
Chinese Jtcveai Treaties
Upon arriving in Paris without
the copies of the treaties which they
had been instructed to use in seeking
to break Japans grip,. the Chinese
delegates made verbal reports of the
substance of these treaties lo some
of the peace delegates of the other
countries. This led the Japanese
authorities to demand of China that
she disavow this action on the part
of her delegates and that she keep
secret the treaties.
Japan Brings Pressure
Some of the secret treaties have
not yet been ratified by the Chinese
government. although Japan has
ratified them and, according to to
day's advices, the Japunese govern
ment is bringing every pressure to
bear on China to ralify them before
anything can be done at Paris. The
most important of the treaties us yet
unratified by China is the agreement
of September 24, 1918. which grants
Shantung to Japan and admits Japan
as the successor to Germany's rights,
concessions and properties in the
Shantung district.

Crespi in Chair
The commission on ports, water
ways and railways of the peace con
ference met to-day with Dr. Silvio
Crespi, of Italy, in the chair. Eng
land, supported by America, pro
posed the proclamation of the prin
ciple of complete liberty of transit
to every country on equal conditions
to all. This proposition was op-|
posed by Albert Claveille, for France j
and Lambros C'oromilas for Greece, |
who pointed out .that England and
America occupied special situations,
that made the question of commer- j
cial land transit Jnsignificant fori
them.
Rut One Freight Charge Approved
The commission appointed two
sub-commissions, one to study the
question of the control of ports, wa
terways and railroads and the other
the question of liberty or transit.
The first commission has approved
of the principle that no country may
charge duties on goods passing
through its ports or over its rail
ways or waterways other than the
freight rates paid on goods destined
for the country itself. Neither may
they levy on such goods customs or
local taxes.
Belgians Enter Protest
Belgian delegates protested against
allowing freight destined for Ger
man ports to pass through their ter
ritory exempt of duty, thus helping
the prosperity of Germany. They
claimed also that such measures
should be taken as would make navi
gation of the Scheldt river free for
Belgium.
The Czeclio-Slovaks and Poles in
sisted on having ports of their own,
the former on the Adriatic and the
latter on the Baltic. M. Coromilas
proposed to give them, respectively,
at Trieste and Danzig the same privi
leges that Greece granted to Serbia
at Saloniki, where Serbia has part
of the port and enjoys territorial
rights. The Czecho-Slovaks and
Poles consider this proposition an in
sufficient guarantee, and definite de
cision was postponed.
Rhine to Be Free to All
The commission agreed that navi
gation of the Rhine and Danube
should be free to ail countries bor
dering on them, or through which
those rivers pass. The Rhine passes
or borders Switzerland, Germany,
France and Holland, and the Danube
holds the same relation to Germany,
Austria, Bohemia, Hungary, Serbia,
Bulgaria and Itumeniu.
To Discuss Glvek Claims
The speciul committee, consisting
of two representatives each from
Great Britain, the United States,
France and Italy, which the coun
cil of the great power's decided upon
a week ago to examine into the
claims of Greece in the peace con
ference. will meet Thursday.
Sir Robert Borden, the Canadian
Premier, is one of the British dele
gataes on this commission. Imme
diately upon the conclusion of the •
committee's work he will probably
pay a short visit to Canada, return
ing to Paris when President Wil
son retyrns from the United States.
Armistice Terms Delayed
In view of the complexity and di
versity of the problems raised by
the armistice, says a Havas report,
the Supreme War Council has ap
pointed a committee of eight mem
bers to which will be entrusted the
task of studying these questions.
The council, therefore, has post
poned for a few days the adoption
of conditions to be imposed upon
Germany, so as to be better pre
pared as to means for insuring their
execution.
The committee is composed of
Norman Davis and General Bliss,
for America; Ford Robert Cecil and
Major N. G. Thwaites, for England;
Dr. Silvio Crespi and General Ca
veltero for Italy, and Etienne Clem
entel and General Degoutte, for
France. It held its first meeting
last night at 6 o'clock, General
Degoutte who had been summoned
by telephone from Lille, could not
arrive in time, however, and the
eommitltee meeting will continue
to-day. When a draft of the condi
tions has been prepared it will be
submited to the Supreme War Coun
cil for definite aproval.
Child Labor at IVace Tabic
Two important features of the
American and British labor pro
gram were accepted to-day by the
commission on International regu
lation of labor which will be sub
mitted to\he full peace conference.
These are the prohibition of child
labor under sixteen years of age and
the uniformity of seamen's wages.

%
BUDGET FOR 1919
TOTALS $153,539
Estimated Borough Income
For Year Is Only
$134,450
The borough council held a long
session last evening, when the fi
nancial budget for the year 191!)
was presented. The budget calls
for an expenditure amounting to
$153,539.58. Of this amount $15,000
goes for street repairs and cleaning,
$15,840 for the fire department,
$18,435 for interest on bonds, sl2',-
133.58 for the sinking fund, $10,500
for the collection of garbage, and
$20,000 for the operation and up
keep of the pumping station. To
meet this budget the council sees
only $134,430 as receipts for the
year. Of this amount $90,000 is
expected from taxes. $40,000 from
water rents, and the balance from
police fines and license fees. There
is a probable deficit of $19,000.
Salaries to lie I'ncluiHgcd
Councilman Henderson presented
a resolution that the salaries of all
borough employes remain the same
during the year 1919 as they were
at the close of last year.
The annual report of the water
commissioners was presented by
Chairman Roberts. The report
shows that during the first three
months of 1918 there were 300 wa
ter meters broken through freezing,
twenty breaks in water mains and
ten breaks in service pipes. The re
port showed improvements made at
the pumping stations, filtration plant
and reservoir. All the equipment
was reported as being now in first
class shape. The receipts from the
water department for last year
amounted to $32,500.
A recommendation was made in
the water report for the creation of
a reserve fund for use in emergen
cies, money saved by the borough
because of the municipal water
plant to be put in this fund. The
report claimed that at least $6,000
was saved annually by the borough
because of the free service of fire
flugs and water for flushing sew
ers.
Fire Chief Malcliorn reported the
loss of buildings because of fires
through a year to amount to $13,-
402.25, and of contents? 2.678.50.
This fire loss is $183,180.11 less than
the loss during the year 1917. (It
was in 1917 when the property of
the Steelton Flouring Mill Company
was destroyed by tire.) .
The borough auditors reported
total receipts during the year 1918
of $203,734.33, with expenditures
amounting to $190,867, leaving a
treasury balance at the beginning
of the present year amounting to
$12,867.53. This report showed that
the past year was the most expen
sive one the borough has yet ex
perienced.
B. F. McNear was re-elected a
member ol' the water board for a
period of five years.
The communication from the Mu
nicipal League asking for an effi
cient street cleaning system was
laid aside without any action what-,
soever, as was also a request from
the same source for the paving of
South Front street.
Chairman Henderson of tho high
way committee, reported that the
improvements to South Front street
through the unpaved sections will
be completed at the earliest possible
date. Other highway work through
out the borough will require 1,040
tons of stone and 18,000 gallons
of. oil. The committee was author
ized to purchase these materials.
Paving on Second street was or
dered repaired.
