CHINA HAS A GRIEVANCE
AGAINST THE JAP PANESE

ject of Japan in contending for the
reconstruction of the line is not Off
stragetic reasons. China is already
suffering from the encroachments of
the Japanese on her powers of
sovereignty in the south Manchurian
railway, in plain violation Of the
treaty stipulation. With this lesson
in mind, the imperial government
has determined that the question OF
railway guards and military police
should be discussed as soon as negot-
iations commenced. If Japan had
adopted reasonable attitude, neg
oiations would have been long ago
concluded. The impasse must there

 Tt is an outrage that people are required to ride in the police patrol wagon when taken suddenly i'll on the street, and 1t is necessary to take them to a hospital or to their homes. I can recall many cases when the per sons taken i'll were highly respected and yet all the city of Montgomery hao to offer in the way of conveyance was 'Lucile.'
