PEACE PACT WITH
JAPAN IS SIGNED
Agreement PIedging Respect of
Status Quo Made by
Two Nations

WASHINGTON, Nov. 27.-Despite of
fetal reticence. information from relia-
BILE sources has been obtained of an
agreement of far reaching Importance
between the United States and Japan
covering the policies of the two coun-
tries on the Pacific
The agreement is based on the idea
of encouraging and defending free and
peaceful commercial development in
that ocean. 1t contains not only a mu-
tual guarantee to respect each others
territorial possessions there. but defines
the attitude of the two countries
toward China, binding each to defend
by every peaceful means China's inde-
pendence and integrity and to give
equal commercial opportunity in the
Chinese empire to all nations. More inn
portant still, the agreement. in the event
of complications threatening the status
quo, binds the United States and Japan
to consult each other with view to
acting together.
This agreement has been drawn up
in the form of a declaration and con-
sists of five articles, of which the fol-
lowing is a faithful description:
The first article gives expression to
the wish of the two governments to
encourage the free and peaceful devel-
opment of their commerce in the Pa
cific. The second is a mutual disclaimer
of any aggressive design, and contains
also definition of the policy of each
government, both as directed, to the
maintenance Of the existing status quo
in the Pacific and the defense Of the
principle Of equal opportunity for com
merce and industry in China The
third article contains a statement of
the consequent firm reciprocal resolu-
ton Of each government to respect the
territorial possessions in the Pacific
Of the other.
In the fourth article the United States
and Japan express their determination
''in the common interest of all the
powers" to support by all peaceful
means at their disposal the independ-
ence and integrity of China and the
principle of equal commercial and in
dustrial opportunity for all nations in
the empire. The fifth article mutually
pledges the two governments, in the
case of the occurrence of any event
threatening the status quo as above de-
scribed, or the principle of equal oppor-
tunity as above designed, to communi-
cate with each other for the purpose
Of arriving at an understanding with
regard to the measures they may con-
slider it useful to take.

EYE TROUBLES
Caused By Improper Food

Most people would never think of
connecting eye disease with the food
they eat. But when we remember that
every part of the body-every organ
is nourished by the blood and the blood
is made of the food we eat, it seems
reasonable to trace even eye troubles
to food
A N. Y man had an interesting ex-
perience at one of the great HOSPITALS
in that city that may benefit persons
who have chronic eye trouble He
writes:

DAVE BAIRD'S WILL
MAY CAUSE CONTEST
Instrument Executed Seven
Years Ago Is Discovered by
Attorney |. |. Brown

The discovery yesterday of the will
Of the late David J. Baird, who died
in this city last Wednesday. by I. L.
Brown, former attorney for Baird
probably will lead to contest over
the estate of the young capitalist. En-
deavors to find will had been futile
up TO yesterday, when Brown made the
announcement that he had the docu-
ment, which had been drawn up about
seven years ago, in his possession.
As soon as it became known that a
will existed John S. Partridge, who has
been Bairds attorney for the last few
years. obtained an order from Judge
Sturtevant ordering that 1t be pro-
duced in Sturtevant's court this morn
ing. The will has not been made pub
lie and even Partridge is in the dark
as to its contents. Pending the return
Of Mrs Veronica C. Baird, mother of
the deceased, Attorney George H. Mas
tick, law partner of Partridge, has ap-
piled to the court for special letters
Of administration. Partridge yesterday
said:
1T is possible that litigation may fol-
low the filing of the will. / visited
Mrs. David Baird, or Miss Dody Valencia
as she was known, Wednesday night. at
her request, and the question was asked
of her as to whether she had married
Baird. She declined to answer
Her refusal to answer and other
facts in the same connection lead me
to doubt that there was ever a legal
marriage performed, and If that be the
case she would have no claim upon the
estate, but she might contest the will.
As | understand the matter, the will
was made seven years ago and only two
years ago the marriage of Miss Valencia
and Baird was announced"
David Baird's share of the Baird
estate is valued at about $3.50 600, and
consists of so shares of the Baird estate

'CHINAAWAKES'
|SDECLARATION
OF ROOSEVELT
President Discusses Oriental
Progress in First Contribu-
ton to the Outlook
Increasing Contact With For
eigners and Expanding Trade
Rebound to Nations Veal
Especial Dispatch to The Call


NEW YORK, Nov. 27.-'The Awaken
ing of China" is the subject of an arti-
Gle by President Roosevelt which ap-
pears in the December number of the
Outlook. published today. The article
is President Roosevelt's first contribu-
ton to the Outlook since the announce
ment was made that when he retires
from the presidency he will become
an associate editor of that magazine.
The article says, in part:
China is awakening There is in
creasing contact with foreigners. in
creasing foreign trade and a growing
adoption of modern methods of COM
munication and transportation, while
some progress is being made in the in
PRODUCTION of labor saving devices, with
consequent industrial evolution. In
over hundred cities there is now a
more or less successful effort to intro
duce western police system, and what
this means for the preservation of order
is hardly necessary to point out Much
admirable evangelistc, educational and
medical missionary work is being done
by the missionaries: and a part of this
consists in the introduction and broad
cast circulation of the bible and OF
western literature.
The awakening of China is one OF
the great events of our age. and the
remedy for the yellow peril. whatever
that may be, is not the repression OF
life, but the cultivation and direction
of life. Here at home we believe that
the popular discomfort is not repres-
sion. but justice and education.
Similarly, the best way to avert pos
sible peril. commercial or military
from the great Chinese people. is by
behaving righteousiy toward them and
by striving to inspire a righteous life
among them"
