The Groundhog,s SHADOW.

Last Tuesday was grounding day,
and as the sun shown brightly from
morning till night, the little animal

Furs and overcoats will, therefore, be
fashionable for six weeks longer.
Whether the grounding affects the
weather or the weather affects the
grounding, 1t is never safe TO antici-
pate a springlike temperature before
the middle Of March. The groundhog
is wise to remain safely underground

will be unsatisfactory, necessitatins
the re-opening OF the question. In
this attitude. the United States IS sus-
tanned by Great Britain. and the same
point OF view will very likely be taken
by the other foreign powers having
treaty rights.
The grounds for the objection OF
the United States and Great Britain
are that the agreement, as made prac-
tically leaves the control in the hands
OF Russia through the power OF veto.
The United States objected to Rus
sia's action in imposing taxes ana
otherwise assuming sovereignty, not
so much because OF any immediate in.
terest. but because II might be taken
as a precedent by the Japaresc in
southern Manchuria. II was hoTed
that the agreement reached between
the Chinese and Russian governments
would satisfactorily dispose Of the
problem.
