THE FAR EAST SITUATION.

From all appearances the crisis in the far east has passed. Japan and China have been able to come to terms through the stand which China took supported by other large nations and the decision of Japan to modify it's demands. It is indicated, as surnised some time ago. that Japan included sufficient in it's original demands so that it could withdraw certain of them and still secure all that it wanted and all tha&a it could reasonably expect. It was a golden opportunity for the island empire and it has made the most of it though it must rest with the future to prove that Japan has been working for the welfare of the Chinese empire without a generous re- gard for its own interests.
 Even from China's standpoint, how ever, it is to be recognized that the agreement under the existing condi- tions is preferable to war. China is a big nation of nearly a half billion people with Japan boasting of sixty millions, yet the size in population by no means represents the fighting strength of the nations. Nothing would have been worse for China than war. It is in a hopeless position in that
 0oP0OI anu tIe HoulHcdllon by Japan removes the particularly objectionable demand whereby China would have been forced to yield it's sovereignty to a partial control at least by another. Japan sought to get hold upon Chinese territory and institutions to which it was not entitled It sought to force its big but powerless neighbor to reltnquishment of vital rights. It was an unfortunate predicament, just at this time, and more than China will be relieved at the way in which 1t has resulted.

A Wounded Soldiers Prayer.

Lord. keep us wounded men mod est and open our eyes to the purer heroism of those men and women who, denied the brave show of the battlefield, sacrifice themselves day by day to the tedious tasks for which we have not the courage is the prayer with which a wounded soldier con cluded an article in the London Ex- press, pleading for less hero wor- ship.
 Am I a hero?" he asks. His an- swer is "No, am not, and the wounded hero stunt has fed me up."
 Too much attention spells the man and it is besides, unfair to the com rades in the trenches, says the writer, who continues:
 Now I am living like a lord in a beautiful improVised convalescent home in a select suburb of London, where lovely ladies wait on us and equally lovely ladies come to visit us, generally bringing gifts. I am touch ed by the kindly thought, but I think of the wives and children of my com radeS at the front"

 fish silk finish cloth, 12 mo-, 259
 pages. Published by The Rox-
 burgh Publishing company, Bos-
 ton. Price $1.25 from the local
 booksellers or author.
 Dedicated to the teachers of the public schools, Rev. John O. Barrows of Norwich Town has written an en- tertaining book setting forth the in- teresting experiences of a young Yankee school teacher a half century ago, fact and fiction being furnished in about equal parts.
 It is the story of a young man of good caracter. tact and generous dis district which is known as a "leetle hard" but by his clever makeup he not only makes a successful teacher but wins the heart and hand Of a beatutiful girl, one of his pupils. The Corner district" like many others has itsf sewing societies, ministers and strangely odd characters and MT. Bar rows brings out their delightful and amusing traits in a manner which will make a, lasting impression and make many others recall their experiences in like circumstances. None of the odd characters brought to view how ever are imaginary personages, all having lived at one time in the Corn CT district" or its vicinity. They were well known to the writer in his boy hood days and what they are repre- sented as saying and doing, is a fair specimen of what they said and did.
 It is a revelation of human nature in it's many phases skillfully woven in to a story which fascinates and pleas es. James Ray Sears is the young man and his experiences fill twenty two chapters of school district life in which that which happens outside school hours gets clever treatment. MT. Barrows is also author of "On Horseback to Cappadocia."

Helmets Rare Trophies.

German helments, nothwithstand- have been killed, wounded and cap tured, are still rare trophies at the British front. There are two chief reasons for this.
 The first is that the Germans of late have been wearing caps, the sec ond that the dead and wounded be- tween the lines, on whom most of the helmets are to be found. are in no mans land where it is almost sure death to venture.
 The British soldier appreciates that these helmets are bringing fancy prices in Paris, London and New York and he Is loath to part with any tro- phy except for a good sum- A regu- lar clearing house for them has been established and hundreds are being sent to England for sale to dealers and others.

Prisoners We'll Cared For.

TTISoHcrS WeH NaFed or
 The system llurriedly instituted by the American embassy at the outbreak of war, for the relief of German and Austrian residents of Russia, has been developed by Montgomery Schuyler, special agent of the State Department, into a smoothly working machine which handles the details with utmost dispatch. MT. Schuyler's work is done and he has turned the manage ment of this relief work over to H. H. D. Peirce, another appointee of the State Department, and has left for home to look after his personal af- fairs, pending possible similar assign ment in another field.
 Before leaving for home Schuyler made a tour of the military camps as far to the southeast as the Turkestan frontier, returning through the Trans caspian and Caucasian country. He travelled 5000 miles, inspected eight camps containing approximately 50,OO0 prisoners. On his return, he said that on the whole, the prisoners were well fed, well housed and we'll clothed. Their daily rations were three pounds of black bread, half a pound of meat, unlimited tea and small quantity of sugar, besides a substantial soup, which after astronomical test, he pronounced equal to that that served him at most of the railway restau- rants en route.

Accidents will happen and it might not be unwise to have 8 little study given to future development and such provision made as would take care of it under rec ognized agencies. By so doing there may be avoided the nasty eleventh hour scramble to do the right thing irrespective of the number of corns that may be trannpled.-Meriden Jour- nal.
