Informers' Rewards.

The Attorney General recently rendered
an opinion to the effect that Congress in
tended that original information regarding
violations of the customs laws. for which
compensation was to be demanded. should
be given to the chief officer of the customs
of a port. either personally or in such man,
ner as the Treasury Department might pre-
scribe to insure against subsequent claims
of inferior officers.
II has been the esta blished practice OF the
Treasury Department TO treat the collector
of customs Of the port or the person acting
as such, as the chief officer Of the GUS
toms OF such port and in a circular issued
by Assistant Secretary wike he directs
that the information concerning the frauds
referred to shall be conveyed by the informe-
directly to that officer. except when Il may
be impracticable and improper. A neglect
of this precaution will hazard the fight OF
the informer to any compensation.

Worthington has repeatedly in public speeches

no favors Of the New York Yacht Club

ninety-footer this time, the extreme
limit. and meet the Bennett boat on an
equality as to extent of water line. Now
we will have a yacht race free from al

boat wins, all America will bid its owner

OF COURSE Japan resents interference
on the part of any nation in the matter in
dispute between her and China. This is
just protest. The situation is not such
as yet to demand interference on the score
of humanity. Moreover, Japan has ex-
pressly disavowed that her purpose is
conquest. What that nation wants is
freedom to Corea to manage her own af-
fairs without dictation on the part OF
Chiua-freedom or contract treaties, for
instance, without the consent of China
being first obtained; freedom to trade
and admit nations to trade in her borders
without the advice and gracious pernis-
sion Of the nation that is forever looking
over its shoulder.

over it's shoulder.

CHINA announces that she will be able
to afford all foreigners in Pekin full pro-
lection in case that city is attacked by the
Japanese. Who from? Foreign residents
will need no protection from the Japs.
They will probably need it as against the
hatred and intolerance of the Chinese.
But if the Japanese take or invest the
city we do not believe that Chinese au-
thorities will be able to protect any one
against the assaults of their own people.
In the past China has repeatedly failed in
that direction, and at times when she had
no enemy at her gates. The thing for the
foreign residents in Pekin to do is to get
out or provide for self-defense.
