China's reply to the Japanese declarations of; readiness to give up entirely group five; of the celebrated "twenty one de-i roands" as well as economic privilege! eecured under resulting treaties in Man rhnri.i And Mongolia was expected to bring to an cud today the arms confer-, enee Far Eastern negotiations. It was planned also to put into treaty form to-: day the series of resolutions relating toj China for formal adoption at a plenary j session tomorrow lit the close of which, it wan expected the Washington confer-1 enee would adjourn sine die.

China moHt strongly objected to as cal-l culated to impair her sovereignty, the tliiiieso reply today was jjxpected tp voice renewed jirotest over the whole, program. It appeared that the question, would be concluded by spreading t In' , views of the two fiovcrnments on the conference record without any attempt to adopt a joint declaration, with the; possibility that to thi would be added! a formal statement of the American! position on the question. I In addition to the pledge of readiness j to withdraw tin; treaty reservation byj which Japan retained the right to press j further the unaccepted group live, which .would have required among other things that China employe no Japanese politi cal, financial and military advisers in' her central government, the Japanese1 yesterday promised two oth-r couces-1 tdonn relating to the" ' ' denr.nd " treaties. Under one of these she "would open up Woutli Manchuria and Eastern Inner Mongolia to the1 international consortium, and the other was- to renounce all inten tions of insisting that Japanese advisers be employed in these territories in politi cal, financial or military matters. j THE REASON B'OR SO MUCH . CRIME NEWS IN PAPERS CHICAGO, Feb. 3. The rea son thre is a prevalent belief that newspapers print a great quantity of crime items is the way in which the average newspaper reader reads a newspaper, Lee A White, editorial executive of Tho Detroit News, said last night in an address before the Medtll School of Journalism. This is the way, according to Mr. White: "Column one, disarmament con ference. The reader, 'disarmament conference urn urn um. Japan, urn, Hughes, um. Shantung, urn.' Fin ished. T "Column two, Stillman case. No um. Still attention.' Occasional . murmur of 'Can you beat that?' One reader says he must scan the column because the case is a 'socio logical document.' Another merely says it b 'hot stuff.' Both skip nary a word.' "Column three, the farmer bloc in Congress. The reaier: 'Um, um. Well. I know what I think of farm- era. Finished. "Column four, murder: The read er, 'Say here's mystery in real nre. Why, its as good as a novel.' No further sound from his for twelve minutes. Finished. ''Column five, orctestra deficit: Orchestra must be saved. The read er: 'Is that so? Well, let some body rave it-then." Finished." By Jhat time, Mr. White said, the reader tunu hurriedly to the sport page, and after hating earned his rest, sleeps, his slumbers disturbed, however, by the thought of the crime the newspapers print. BONUS LEGISLATION WILL CARRY PROVISIONS FOR RAISING THE REVENUE WASHINGTON', Tell. .i. Soldiers' bonus- legislation now under considera tion by the House Ways and Means Committee will carry a provision for raising the necessary revenue to finance it, Chairman Fordney announced today after a conference with President Hard ing at the. White House. Whether the money -will be obtained L- internal tax es or the uso of the proceeds from the re funded foreign debt, or both, remains to be determined, Mr. Fordney said. Arguments for andag;unst the tax on beer as a means of raising funds for the bonus were, heard today by the committee Mid at their voiielusion members indicat ed vev clearly that such a tax was not to be considered. ! Representative Creen. of Iowa, the ranking republican, declared that, aside from the constitutional Question invol ved, the-arguments against legalizing tlm ale of beer was so compelling that the proposition could not 1h- entertained. .Representative Garner, of Texas, the, ranking Deonierat, snid it was a waste of tim to talk about raising revenue; when two thirds? of both the House and -ruite were opposed to the beer and light wine projosition. The argument for 2.75 beer was made by l"vi Cook, a Washington attorney, who said he poke - for the pirWie. He dwlared that no man -onld Vrome intoxicated on such beer and that its legalized sale would do away' with bootleggers and moonshiners and would diasipjite much of the industrial . unrest. , - - T, - " ' tt'api" B, Wheeler, general cOuusl for tne'Anti-Baloott league, opposed the miggtian, arguing that Coiisrress under the 18th amendment rould not leftaliw; the pale either of 2.73 per edit beer or; ill light nines. .

The "brigh ter London society," which has ju?t been formed, has undertaken what an American who was asked to join it, termed a "pretty tall order." It is nothing less than to make London, to quote a phrase used by one of its founders, the "magnet cf the world," and thereby attract to it multitudes of peoples with plenty of money to spend, especially rich Amer icans. The society is the outgrowth of a recent discussion among prominent business men at the- Savoy hotel. They were deploring the fact that American tourists were not so num erous as they were before the war. Then they feU to contrasting London with New York Oxford street with the Great White Way. Compared with New York even New York under prohibition Lon don's aspect was decidedly "drab" and its night lie "dull," it was gen erally agreed. Everybody was of the opinion that London needed brighten ing, and as the result the new organ ization was born and christened. "The promoten of the new so ciety," writes one of them, "hope to help make London the most worthy And beautiful city in the world." Among the vice presidents of the so ciety is the Bishop of Birmingham. ' , ' J !

HUGO STINNES HAS SMASHED WAY INTO WALL STREET Reported That German Croe sus Has Designs on Commer cial and Industrial Activi ties of This Country. ! i By The Associated 1'rens.) XKW YORK, Feb. J. The name of , Hugo Ktiuncs one to conjure with in j Cortnany has smashed its way into I Wall Street . I Big business, particularly the steel in Mlustry, k interested and is asking if ! Stinnes has designs upon the ennuner iul I and industrial activities nf this country, j Various icports have come to the I'ni I led Ktates concerning plans of the Ger I man Croetus to extend his interests to i this country, where he bas heretofore ! been little known. But the tirst eon crete evidence of his plans came venter day with the announcement that he was negotiating with several American rail-roi-d:i for the sale of lo.lioO tons of Gor j man rails at a price, including freight, I about 2 . -." a ton less than the current I American price of l'l. mere lo.tiOO I tons is a relatively small offering, worth I less than a half fuillion dollars nt I Stinnes' price, but, it was pointed out, it is a vevy 1 air-sir.ed initial ottering. Whether Slinnes will follow up his in vasion of American markets by efforts to acquire control of American industries is a question that time alone can solve. The 1'nitcd StnP-s is one of the few countries in the development of which he has apparently taken no hand. Then have been reports that Stinnes was con templating a visit to the 1'nitcl States to meet the American capitalists, but no date was set for the visit. Credited with controlling eight bil lion marks of capital and with being 1 he I most powerful figure, industrially and politically, in Germany, Stinnes rode to I tin crevt of his power on the war.
