tween Germany and China~for the re
turn OF kiso-Chow to China The
Japanese are prepared to demand
recognition by both Germany and
China; that IT is Japan who Is com
polling the relinquishment OF Kiao-
Chow by Germany and that Japan
must be consulted before any arrange
ment can be made for its transfer

from Kiao-Chow without condition OF
recompense."
II is not the intention OF JAPAN to
let Germany arrange with China for

Tau. Because OF these conditions
which Japan VIII impose upon any
proposal by Germany to give Klao-
Chow back TO China, the situation
probably would not be much altered
even by such action on the part of the
kaiser.
Interesting Suggestion
The opinion was yentured here to-
day that China will make no move
10 accept the offer of Germany The
report that China is sending troops 10
kiao-Chow is not confirmed by Off
cial advices In Washington. but this
lack Of confirmation is not regarded
as necessarily meaning that the re-
ports of these troop movements are
untrue. 1t was suggested that, per-
haps, already the Berlin government
had entered discussion with China
and had invited China TO send troops
to receive Kiao-Chow and hold Il
against all corners. The japanese EN-
hassy here has no Information con-
frming these suggestions

The Man Who Wins.

The man who wins is an average man,
Not built on any particular plan,
Not blessed with any peculiar luck;
Just steady and earnest andfull Of pluck.
When asked question he does not guess
He knows the answer, No. or Yes
When set q task that the rest can't 90,
He buckles down till he puts it through.
Three things he learned; that he who tries
Finds favor in his employer eyes;
That It pays to know more than onoth'n2 well
And it doesn't pay all he knows to tell.
So he works and works; till one fine day
There's a better job with bigger pay,

Who neither trouble nor labor shirks.

Power EFFICIENCY.

Power depends upon a thorough
state of efficiency in every component
part Of the engine-whenever or
wherever any part is weak or inefi.
cient power production is inevitably
reduced. In the case Of piston rings
this Is particularly true. Piston rings
must perform the particular service
for which they are installed In the
motor-that Of. securing proper com.
preston, or full and sustained ,produc.
ton Of power Is impossible. There is
