china's Yield TO Force.

German force has at last brought Chi.
ma to terms and the ancient empire has
consented to give UP Kiao Chou bay IN.
der a e.ty year lease. Since the German
war lord had taken the bay without the
leave OF the Chinese emperor the latter
had little to do but TO ncceed 10 the de-
mand. Concessions granted under such
circumstances have been made before.
and the lease" part OF the programme
has pretty generally been regarded as a
joke, us Il Is go regarded in This instance.
The terms OF the concession seem 10
point TO the fact that the term for the
possession OF the vantage point By Ger
many is really to be indefinite, since
China has transferred to Germany SOW
erelgn rights over all the cedcd territory
for a period that Is not named In the dis
patches conveying the Information.
What China is to get out or the deal
doesn't appear, and It is suspected IN
diplomatic circles, especially In England.
that the oriental empire is to receive
nothing; the cesslon seems TO have been
wholly a yield on the part Of China to u
superior physical force. This warrants
the English press to suggest that the
significant fact. so apparent, must guide
the other powers In shaping their own
policies with reference to China.
In the meantime. England has a sharp
eye on the developments, and IL Germany
and China think she isn't going to have
u voice In whatever transplres in the
future. they are much mistaken. Great
Britain, In connection with the affair, Is
showing a more appreclative regard for
the United States, and the British papers
are free to admit satisfaction that
America and Japan are On their side OF
the question. They are not without rea-
son for this expressed satisfaction, since
the United States has commercial inter-
ests that will be affected by future ar
rangcments, and the position Of the Eng
lish government in claiming equal rights
for all. pending negotiations, and in pro-
ltSklIS dSdllot SpeSiaA piiNilS5CS y
Germany, is indirectly benetitting Amer
lean mercantile interests as well as her
own.
There Is, however, no danger OF the
United States becoming involved in any
complications that may arise. unless her
own interests should be seriously threat
encd. Her policy Of non-interference In
the affairs Of the European powers,
which has been in force for the past
hundred years, will be strictly adhered
to by this administration, although Moth
ing affecting our commercial interests
and the interests Of American citizens in
China will be neglected.
The situation at present is such that
German force may be found less power
full. SO far as China is concerned. than
British sold, and the negotiations for the
loan Of $780, OO, 900 for China, some Of
which may be furnished by this country.
may prove a more effective argument
than the guns Of the kaiser's warships.

Why and Wherefore.

I know not whence I came. 1
I know not whittier I so.
But the fact stands clear
That l am here.
In this world Of pleasure and woe. Ii
And out of the mist and murk
Another truth shines plain
1t Is In my power
Each day and hour
To add to Its Joy or its pain.
I know that the earth exists.
1t is none Of my business why,
I cannot find out
What it's all about
l would but waste time to try.
My life Is n brief, little thing,
I an here for 4 little space,
And while I stay
I would like. II / may,
To brighten and better the place.
The trouble. ! think. with us all
Is the lack OF a high conccit;
II each man thought
lie was sent to the spot
To make 1t n bit more sweet.
How soon we could gladden. the world,
How easily right all wrong.
II nobody shirked
And each one worked
TO help his fellows along.
Cease wondering why you came;
Stop looking for faults and flaws;
Rise up to-day
In your pride md say:
II am part of the first great cause
However full the world,
There Is room for an earnest man;
1t had need Of me
Or l would not be-
am here to strengthen the plan"
