CENSUS FOR COUNTY MAY CAUSE SUIT

Salaries of County Official: Supposed to Increase With Population. LAW IS PUZZLING. Litigation May he Necessary to Get Ruling on Hill. Says Attorney. Announcement of St. Joseph county's population undrr the 19-0 census as 103, HO , a pain of 1SJ02, r percent, la the beginning of c legal tangle which bids fair to reach the state supreme court before It is settled. This was indicated by nr. interview with Stuart MacKihhin, county attorney, following arrival of the telegram from Washington, rassage of senate bill 30iu the recent special session of the legislature, designed to clear matter, only makes them inor muddled. According to the statutes, certain changes In the salaries of q, number of county officials depend upon the census. These acts alone are .uuffielenl basis for a lawsuit, it seems, because they set forth that the salary shall be set according" to "the last preceding" United States cnf us." The federal statute on the 1920 census says It shall take effect January 1, 1920. Is this "preceding" the calendar year of 1920 during which -salaries must he paid, or does the "x receding" clause, mean that the salaries are not to be changed until 1921? That Is the problem which Is puzzling local county officials today. Iiv May Not Stand. Only a few days before adjustment the special session of the legislation passed senate bill ."52, Intended. It was said, to affect only Uike county. Tho title indicates that the bill provides that in no count j- of the state shall salaries be diminished by reason of changed census figures; the body of the law, however, provides that salaries are not to be changed either to more or less by such census change. Under previous rulings of the supreme rnurt, any provision of an act which is not mentioned in the title is not valid, and the act applies only inofar as Its provisions are contained In the title. This would seem to indicate that St. Joseph county Is not iffected. since there will be no diminishing of salaries, but a suit will probably he necessary to obtain a ruling. According to an .net of 191 .T. the sil.io' or ine nuoiior 01 .n.eon roanty is 51.700.

Tokio Papers Say World Peace is Threatened hv Yankee Protest. 15 t Assofiated I'res: TOKIO, Aug. 3. Special dispatches from the United States describing the recent conference held at the American state department between Secretary of State Colby: Sir Auckland Geddes, the Itritish ambassador to the United States; Poland Morris. American ambassador to Japan. and Sir Pillsby Francis Alstrom, the Pritish minister to China, at which the general situation in the far east was discussed and the suggestion In some of the dispatches that Great Pritain is showing signs of Joining the United States in her far eastern policy, have st red to increase the nervousness here over Japanese-American relations. Le a d i n g newspapers devote lengthy editorials to discussion of the situation and they generally demand that the Japanese people show an unbroken front. The Nichi Niehi thinks the trouble with Japan's diplomacy lies in the fact that the authorities are "excessively timid and over-considerate of the feelings of the other countries." They should take resolute action on their own responsibility, the newspaper says. Old 1'ashlonotl. Some Americans, adds the Niehl Niehl interpret occupation of Saghalen as a gratification of tenitorhl ambitions., but if any Japanese are harboring such ambitions they are merely old fashioned imperialists. Fven if such men exist, it asserted. It is no cause for concern, because the militaristic I arty, who once threatened to control the foreign policy are now influsnced by public opinion. The Hochi Shimbun declares the country should not belittle the importance of the American communication regarding Japanese occupation, which the newspaper considers virtually a protest. "Japan's vacillating diplomacy." it asserts, "has often brought contempt on Japan, particularly with regard to America." While deprecating rage over the American protest, the Hochi Shinibun says: "Let us urge no yielding to a 1 rotest based on a suspicious Imagination. We are anxious to see the problems of Japan and America settled amicably, but there is a limit to our patience. If things become unbearable a state of affairs may occur regrettable not only so tar as Japanese-American relations are concerned, but for the peace of tho world. We hope the authorities will abide by the cause of justice and fear nothing." Give Unofficial Returns Of Missouri Primaries ST. LOUIS, Aug. ::. On the face of meaner unofficial returns John M.

With th desperate plight of Poland empha- . ized in dispatches foreshadowing the imminent fall of Warsaw and telling of the proclamation In Polish districts of a soviet government, the position of the FnltM State toward the Kwift development of e vents in Europe Tueseday engage! the serious consideration of ofllcials f the government Despite reiterated appeals to th Fnited States government by Poland through it.s minister. Prince Lubormirskl. for extension of moral. If not material aid. there hr-s been as et no disposition shown among officials to reflect a d parture rf tho Cnited States from the neutral position assumed at the beginning of hostilities between Poland and Russia. Untie Sam Nnitrnl. Officials havo held that inasmuch as the present conflict originated, from causes to which the United States was not a party this country should continue its present position. Whether the United States might b moved to depart from this position of aloofness in the event of anything approaching a crisis in the relations of Russia toward Kurnpe, officials refrained Tuesday from Indicating. Upon on occasion, nt lea it will be recalled, this country was moved to take a hand in behalf of Poland in insisting that Czeoho-Slo-vakia oppose no obstacles to transportation through her territory of supplies destined for Poland. At the samo time, however, this action wan defended on the gremnd.s that the supplies were, purchased from this country by Pedand prior to th outbreak of hostilities with Russia. Not Kccognlrl. There also was recaled the declaration of war made against th United States by the soviet government in a wireless proclamation upon the entrance into Russia of the American expeditionary forces. Such a state' of war, however, was never recognized by this government- The state department was Ptill without definite reports regarding the armistice between the Polish emissaries and soviet leaders. The latest information as to military operations received by the de. partment indicated that Bialystok. northeast of Warsaw, had been lout by the polish forces. The red army in it.s advance was reported to hav passed llransk, southwest of Bialystok. The department's dispatches als indicated that th Polish lines hal been stiffened. Pudier.r.y, tl;o bolshevik lender, who fori ed the Polish troops out of Kiev, was reported to be encountering ;t strong resistance in his advances between Prody and Lemberg, in eastern Galicia.
