Assumes Liability for Claims Pre-

Now. however. by an article in the
treaty OF Paris. the United States has
assumed liability for all claims pre-
ferred by its citizens on account of
deprcdations or, in fact, on any proper
score. In turn the Spanish assumed
liability for any claim that might have
been made on account of Spanish citi-
zens OF the Spanish government itself
against the United States. What such
claims would have amounted 10 can
not be estimated. None were fled
with the United States government
prior 70 the declaration of war. But il
is recalled hat there was much criti-
cism on the part of high Spanish Of
ficials of the alleged failure of the
United States to observe the require
ments of the neutrality laws, and
more than one statement to the effect
that the Spanish government intended
TO present a claim for n round number
of millions on that score.

SWORD

empress tiger. The news comes that Pc
king has been thrown into CONSERVATION
by this act, for under it no life is sacred,
no head is safe.
"Shang" or "sheong' means "to give
out" and fang means "the highest. "
So the name of the sword, Shang Fang,
means "to give out the highest. u" That is
to say, it is the symbol of the transfer OF
absolute power. The emperor, or the en-
press, has sole control of the taking OF
life. With the awful Shang Fang this
power is transferred to the one to whom
the sword Is given. 1t is symbol OF a0-
solutism.
It is not known that any particular type
of sword is taken for the Shang Fang. 1t
will merely be any sword selected by the
emperor, or, in this case, the empress-a
rich sword, of course, but perhaps OF no
remarkable size or shape. The sword itself
may not be used to behead people-or,
again, it might be so used. But IT'S awful
significance lies in its symbolization.
The holder of that sword may STAY as ne
wills without word of mouth OF wsrren
of law. None is so high that the sword
may not reach him. None is SO mean tna5
the sword may not seek him out.
