COST OF OPERATION SIBERIA
RAILWAY FALLS ON ALLIES
(Fly The AsH<*-tnt<‘«l I Trust
TOKIO May Si.—T. Matsudaira chief
of the Japanese political department at
Vladivostok who has returned to consult
with his home government is quoted by
the Asahi as asserting that the cost of
operation of the Siberian railway is to be
borne equally by the allies not by the
United States alone.
The railway he said forms the back-
bone of Siberia and its destruction would
mean the starvation of the troops stationed
at Omsk Irkutsk and other places and
alos of the Russian population throughout
Siberia. British troops about a battalion
strong and the French troops are sta-
tioned at Omsk to guard the Omsk gov-
ernment he said and they wilt not with-
draw from that place for some time.
“Various reports art- in circulation re-
garding the alleged activities or ambition
of American capitalists in Siberia but
nothing exists that should give concern to
the Japanese” declared Mr. Matsudaira.

Union testified before the house inter-
state commerce committee today that the
trans-Atlantic cable lines were taken over

he said that American business interests
woud be served more advantageously un-

JAPANESE APPRECIATION OF
GOOD POINTS OF AMERICANS
IS FOUND IN NEW COMMENTS
TB.r T7ie Aworiatnl Press.)
TOKJO May 31.— Japanese apprecia-
tion of good points of Americans finds ex-
pression in a collection of personal com-
ments published in the Jit Sugyo a com-
mercial publication. The following are
representative extracts:
Dr. K. Miyake—“Japan has much to
learn from America. The unanimity with
which America entered the war and the
patriotism which her sons demonstrated on
the firing front ami behind it is worth
studying. The next thing which Japan has
to study about Americans is their enter-
prising spirit in social affairs.
Dr. T. Nakajima—“The Japanese are ex-
clusive running and intriguing. Long
years of feudalism are to blame for this.
In contrast with us the Americans are
downright by nature. They have a won-i
derful power of assimilating those who*
come near them that may be traced to this
American openness of heart.”
T. Shidachi formerly president of the
Industrial Bank—"There are many com-
mendable traits in the American but his
spirit of social service is to me the most
remarkable. He is a firm believer in
Christianity but he does not believe in that
religion merely for peace of mind but in
order to contribute towards making soci- (
ety better and the world more liveable by
influencing the thought of others. Firm in
his religious belief he is .daring to a sub-
lime degree and never despairs. He is op-
timistic and defies all obstacles with a
cheery face.”

PARIS May 31.—No longer will it be
necessary to serve a liquor in a cup in the
French cafes when the hours fixed by law
for meals have passed. The decree lim-
iting the serving of intoxicants to fixed
meal hours has been annulled for male
civilians and the subterfuge of having a
cup which was the representative of law
and order will now be neede only for wo-
men and minors and for soldiers in uni-
form. A F'rench writer says the soldiers
have been allowed to take Tahure Doua-

TREATY MONDAY IS

GERMAN REPLY LATER
(Bj The Associated Press)
PARIS May 31.—The secret plenary
session of the peace conference decided to
present the treaty to the Austrians at noon
Monday. The small powers made reserva-
tions on the financial and reparation claus-
es. The German counter proposals have
not been answered and it is possible that
several days will clapr* before a reply is
sent. Indications in the French diplomatic
and official circles are that the pleas in
the counter proposals were contained in
the previous German notes already an-!
swered. It is not believed the Germans will
be able to gain any concessions. Premier
Clemenceau said the replies have not been
made pwbtic. 1
The plenary session was largely attend-
ed and developed a spirited discussion. Pre-
mier Bratiano of Roumania Trumbitch of
Serbia Venizelos of Greece and a Czecho-
slovak delegation presented reservations.
Clemenleau replied chiefly on a criticism
regarding lack of time pointing out that
more time had been granted them than
was originally asked. j

1ST CHANNEL FUND
QUOTA WILL BE IN
THE BANKS JUNE 2
Valley Faithfully Performs Duty
and is Now Ready to Meet
Government’s Demands.
$40000 NOW AVAILABLE
Faithful to its promise to the war de-
partment engineers on rivers and harbors
the towns of the Lower Rio Grande Val-
ley will have in their hsnfrt on Monday a
sum totalling $40000 subject to the war
department’s call for the purpose of under-
taking the work of deepening the harbor at
Brazos Santiago pasa.
Announcement to this effect was made
last night by the Brownsville Board of City
Development following a canvass of the lo-
cal committees of the towns concerned. The
first town to report its quota in the bank
was Pharr Hidalgo county which reported
early in the week that one-third of its
w“ *» the hank. That town’s quota
is $6.50 and one-third of it is now ready
Lyford Cameron county follow-
ed Pharr closely stating that its one-third
or $400 is in the bank.
Towns which have their first quotas and
the amounts in round figures are:

Mercedes informed the Board of City
Development last night thst it expected to
report its first quota in the bank Monday
morning. The board has been unable to get
in touch with the local committee at Mc-
Allen last night but it was expected that a
report would be had from there Monday
morning. Rio Grande City and La Feria
so far have taken no action with reference
to raising their quota in the channel fund
of $125000.
j It was also announced last night that a
| meeting of the channel committee will be
held at the Board of City Development at
9 o’clock Monday morning at which time
matters in connection with the channel im-
provement will be discussed. During that
| meeting it is expected to draft a telegram
jto the war department’s engineer at Gal-
Iveston Colonel Spencer Cosby informing
him that the Lower Rio Grande Valley has
met the initial demand in the harbor im-
provement proposition.
It was stated yesterday that it will not
be the policy of those active in the move-
ment to turn over to the government any
of the money until the work of construction
has actually started nor is It anticipated
that the government will ask for the pay-
ments to start before the work is started.
It is assumed here that the work of trans-
forming the dredge so as to fit it for the
work to be done here has required some lit-
tle time and that perhaps there has been
delay for that reason. There has so far
been no word from the war department in
connection with the Valley’s guarantee for-
warded some weeks ago lending the belief
here that the guarantee is actually accepted
with the notification that the first payment
required is in the bank subject to the de-
mand of the government.
D. A. O’Brien president of the Rio
Grande railway which has supplied the
war department engineers with guarantees
that it will standardise its line of railroad
from Brownsville to Point Isabel has been
absent from the eity the past two weeks
and is reported to be making arrangements
to begin actual construction on the line.
Mr. O’Brien other than announcing that he
has furnished the necessary guarantees for
the building of the line and the maintain-
ance of the channel that is to be built by
Valley funds has made no announcements
in this connection. The first guarantee
was accepted by the government and the
second is now before the war department
engineers for their approval.
It is said that the rebuilt road will not
follow the route of the present line but
will be built along higher ground to avoid
the large amount of trestling now in use
along the Rio Grande railway. More defi-
nite information is expected to be given out
by Mr. O’Brien upon his return to the
city.
