The session lasted nearly throo hours, and at Its conclusion a statement was l.ued for publication outlining the attitude of the railroads. An elaborate presentation of the contention of the railroads has been prepared and this will bo laid before the Senate Interstate Commerce Com- mittee at its hearlnpr next Wednesday. A committee of six then will appear on MM of the companies. It consists ef T. Ue Witt Cuyler.

A demand is expressed to-da- y by the Chinese owned Pekln Leader that tho Chino-Japanes- e treaty of 1915, embodying the twenty-on- e demands made upon China by Japan, bo abrogated. The newspaper contends tho treaty should bo abrogated \as honesty and justice alike demand that Japan enter the Versailles council chamber with clean hands, and that China, equally with other Stntes, shall be free and unfettered to develop along her own natural lines.\ The Leader nlso suggests that the treaties of Brcst-Litovs- k and Bucharest likewise be abrogated. A Japanese newspaper received here contains an article by a Japanese publicist advocating a Chino-Japane- se alliance in view of the growth of the French, British and American armies and navies.
