ington with the United States and Japan
on the verge of war. Guy Hitler, sec
rotary of the British embassy, and Miss
Norma Roberts, chief aide of Inventor

government is much criticised because
of it's lack of preparation for strife
At the most inopportune moment Japan
declares war Japan takes the Philip

tire country is in state of turmoil be-
cause of the governments indifference
Guy Hitler starts for England with

Earning a Plaid Cloak.

educational college conspicuous sign

strange entrances by which girls force
a wayinto the wage-earning world are
not novelties, any more than their
warm hearts and large ambitions are.
A charming and characteristic story is
told by Mrs. Sarah Stuart Robbins in
her recent book, "Old Andover Days"
The tale dates back to the first quar-
ter of the nineteenth century. Its hero
was a certain flute-playing German
"theologue," afterward famous mis-.
sionary. He was poor but fascinating,
and four little girls loved him dearly.
They wanted to buy him cloak, for
he had no protection against the keen
Andover winter. They racked their
brains for ways and means. They sold
lamplighters. They made patchwork

In Puritan Andover. The girlish de-
vices for earning wages hundred
years ago at least had the advantage,
declares the Youths Companion, of

can be said for some of the modern
schemes. Dollars may come too high,
when they are sought greedily or SEN
sationally.

Japan, hopeless and driven to ex.
tremities, appealed to her ally Great
Britain, for news. She showed no
cowardly spirit by asking for aid of
arms, and sought the assistance of her
closest friend only that she might gain
information. And Great Britain after
due consideration responded.
The premier of the dominion of
Canada was asked in the interests Of
humanity to pass a communication to
the soldiers on the border, asking for
particulars of the destruction of the
Japanese feet. 1t was duly accepted
and forwarded, and back came the
reply:
THE United States has no report
whatever to impart on the subject
most vitality concerning his majesty's
closest ally beyond the fact that the
feet which came to invade the Pa
cific coast has been duly met, properly
vanquished and rendered incapable of
further harm. The United States re-
grets that such action became neces.
sary, and, with all due respect to Great
Britain and such other powers as may
be interested, wishes to express a dis
inclination to reply to any further
communications of this or a similar
nature"

no greater CONSERVATION. The very
terms of the reply showed iRsolence
toward all the world, and demanded
EXPLANATION. But who dared attempt
it? What country was brave enough
to take the risk of meeting those ter
rible submarines, which were capable
in a night of destroying the most COM
plete fiotilla that ever had been mobil-
lied and sent away? If they only
knew what form these monsters took,
what dire warning they gave as they
advanced to the attack, there might
be some means of offsetting them or
perhaps repelling them. That infor-
nation, at any cost, must be gained.
In its reaching out for anything which
might suggest way, the British min
istry sent for Hitler.
Guy, sleepless and worn from nights
and days of anxiety, responded to the
call, listlessly wondering what further
information he could giveaas to the sit
uation in America, or what il any duty
could be expected of him when the
ministry itself was unable to accom-
plish anything.
He was ushered into the room
where on several previous occasions
he had answered questions, and found
there the same men who had met him
on the day Of his arrival In London;
but there was different attitude this
time, however. and the officials before
him seemed anxious and i'll at ease.
Plainly they were ready for any sug-
gestion he might offer. or any measure
that might seem possible.

The awakening of China must now
be accepted as an assured and indeed
a partially accomplished fact. 1t diff
fers widely in many respects from the
awakening of Japan, partly because OF
the difference in the manner and cirl
cumstances of its achievement and
partly because of the radical difference
in the genius of the people. But 1t is
no less real and is likely to prove no
less significant to the world. We may
date 1t from the time of the war be-
tween Russia and Japan, and may
credit 1t largely to that war as one of
its unattended and perhaps unexpect-
ed results. There had been sporadic
symptoms of unrest and uprising in

himself the only passenger, and that
