The New Neutrality

George Washingtons birthday this year
Had better in silence be passed;
He walloped our cousins
And licked them by dozens
The day might offend them at last
The Fourth of July should be skipped,
The great Declaration ignored:
The date is so recent
It wouldn't be decent
To hint how America scored.
The "Star Spangled Banner" should
hush,
IT'S really dangerous screech,
For those words We're written
While fighting Great Britain
And might make terrible breach.

CALLING CARDS.

Formal correspondence has suffered
a change this year, brought about
perhaps by the change of attire. One
point especially noticeable is that
women's visiting cards are somewhat
smaller than usual, due to the fact
that they must fit into smaller mesh
bags than heretofore. Girls cards are
likewise one size smaller than those
OF their married sisters, ami perhaps
because of society's superstition they
are no longer engraved. Again, they
may have delicate touch of color,

China has a population of upward Of
400. 100000. Her people are skilled arti-
sans. unequaled agriculturists. and they
form. en- gros. the most valuable single
asset possessed by any country in the
world today. Her vast area, which Is
one-sixth larger than that of the United
States, with Alaska. includes great plains
Of wonderful fertility, well capable OF
addition. she has almost unlimited min
eral wealth. water power, and every
other element of success. except trans
portation. China's one tremendous defect
is her isolation. She has practically no
highways, and with more than one-fourth
of the population of the globe she has
only 5000 miles Of railway, which Is one,
fortieth of that possessed by the United
States, which has less than one-fourth
Of China's population and a smaller area:
The carrying out of the agreements OF
certain European powers to build trunk
lines of railways, opening up the most
populous regions of China to trade, has
been suspended by reason of the Euro
pean war. This is a great misfortune to
China.
Ch1na's Need Of Railways.
"In my Judgment, the best policy to
be pursued today with reference
to China would be that the diff
ferent powers interested in the
building Of these Chinese railways,
including the United States. should get
together and should formulate some plan
for the carrying out without delay of the
program originally decided on. If the
United States were to assist financially
in this business feel sure terms could be
made which would be to the advantage of
this country, not only financially, but
commercially. China today undoubtedly
offers the greatest opportunity for de-
velopment of any country in the world.
"In the opening up of China by rail-
ways the commercial advantages arising
Immediately therefrom would benefit
enormously every country concerned. and
the mutually of interest thereby created
would insure cooperation and the avoid
ance of all friction. 1t will go much
further than this-there is not a handi-
cap from which China suffers today which
sufficient railroad service would not
remove. With prompt communication the
unspeakable confusion of her currency
would come up for prompt adjustment
and would be settled to the enormous
gain of the country at large. And so it
would be with all her other handicaps." !"
