nouncement was made here this
afternoon that Japan has sent
an ultimatum to China.

Washington. D. c., May 7.-Despite
official reticence it has become impos-
sible longer to disguise the fast that by
reason of Japanese aggression war Is
threatened between hin and Japan.
Taking advantage of the preoccupation
of the European nations in their own
roubles Japan is pressing her de-
mands on China to the point OF IN ulti-
matum.
Meantime Japan appears to be rapid
be modifying warships. That the Jap
anese If they strike will strike quick
and hard and will overwhelm Chinese
opposition is believed here by military
experts cogniZant of the disparity of the
military strength of the two nations.
Although there is some talk of u pos
sible mediation by this country it is
generally felt that this country cannot
force Japanese observation of Chinese
rights. The indications are that if
Japan serves an ultimatum on China
and follows it up she will practically
will do nothing effective to block it
and that England will feel she cannot
afford to.
Saying a dark hour has come for Chi
ma leading Chinese Christians in this
country have appealed to this govern
ment and fellow Christians to ave
their nation.
Secretary Bryan today continued his
policy of refusing to discuss the far
eastern situation. He said. however
that there had been no suggestion OF
mediation. In other official quarters it
was intimated that a tender of GOOD
offices would only follow a serious
crisis and there was no official infor-
nation at hand on which to base such
action.
Fro the beginning. however, the
United States and Great Britain, as
we'll, have quietly exerted friendly in
fiuence with both China and Japan to
bring about an agreement.

The signs consist of red steel dials IS inches in diameter mounted on steel rods sunk three feet in concrete at the curbs and standing eight feet deep on the top of the dial. The dials are painted bright red with black letters, and read: School. Care ful," Caution, Bridge Caution, Steep Grade. Danger, Drive Slowly" Hospital. Quiet" Caution, Fire Sta- tion." Danger. No Outlet" "Cau- tion. Dangerous Corner" and so on. The signs are set in pairs about 100 feet from the danger point and in all street directions from it, and are so placed that the street lights will shine upon them at night.

Pot ChrYsanthemums.

All of the single and pempon sorts are excellent for pot culture. and quite a few of these do well as single stem sorts. as long as you are not too particular as to the size of flowers. People usually care more for the gen eral effect Of a plant in a pot than for the individual flowers. Don over pot plants: rather feed little more and pay the very best attention to the watering for you want plants with as much foliage down to the pot as it is possible to have Attend to the stalk ing. so much depends on this if you want shapely plant. One stake i'll the center answers nicely for medium sized ones. but even here it is often better to make use of three or five smaller stakes and properly spread the branches. It will add 50 per cent to the good looks of the plant and that, after all, is what counts.

TOWN PLANNING IN AUSTRALIA
Antipodeans Show Wise Interest in Subject and Profit by Experience

Australians are showing a wise in- terest in the subject of town planning and housing in general The trouble with older countries has been that they have not begun to think much about improving housing conditions until housing conditions have got to be insufferaBly bad Australia. being young country, should be able to profit by the unfortunate example of other countries. and it is apparent that Australia is striving to do this.
 Building, an Australian publication, deYotes much space te this subject. AL luding, for example, to the direction of the movement in Victoria by the Town Planning and Parks association, these activities are described as intelligent, enthusiastic and energetic. The flow of active campaigning established" it appears, threatens altogether to swamp the slum and it's welded evils beyond the hope of re-establishment.
 The association. very sensibly, is enlisting the sympathy and support of the masses by alert regard for their

 'The association Is making a special point of making plain the principles of town planning to those in the position of facilitating reform. For instance. the mayors and councillors of the mu- nicipalities and shires were recently cfrcularized on the new and extensive powers conferred upon local governing bodies, by recent amendments of the act A portion of that circular reads.
 It is hoped that advantage will be taken at once of these pewers-ap- piled. perhaps, in conjunction with building regulations to avoid the crea- ton of slum or insanitary areas. In this connection St Kilda council has recently passed a bylaw providing for 3 minimum area, devoted exclusively to open space, for each dwelling equal to at least eight-eighteenths of that occupied by dwelling and outhouses.''

COMMUNITY PRIDE AN ASSET
Appearance Is the Town That Will Prosper.

Community pride Is an asset, and it Is ono of the greatest of all assets.
 The town that improves it's streets. cleans up the alleys, paints the houses, cuts the grass, rakes the lawns and plants it's flowers is not only encour- aging cleanliness. but is making for itself naSe among the peoples of he outer world
 Commercial travellers and others and the talk is all in favor of the town and it's people.
 Talk travels. and grows. and null iplies until the town becomes known n many climes for its cleanliness and progressiveness.
 In time other men who are looking 'or change of location hear of this .own-and then they go. and look. and ak, and are pleased, and it becomes .heir home.
 And the town continues to expand and progress, and as the years roll by t gradually assumes larger proper ions and a more commanding and dominating position in the world.
 When Community Pride comes in Prosperity enters by it's side, and the two become the mighty levers that control the machinery of success.
 Personal Pride and Community Pride should march side by side, for when these two potent factors join hands in laudable purpose opposi- ton quickly melts away.-Laredo Record.
