EYES|GHT TEST
FOR AUTO|STS
Washers Bill Appears to Have
Encountered Opposition Early
in the Game

Owners of automobiles and trucks
are sending here for information about
a bill presented to the Senate by Sem
ator Henry Washers. of York, which
would require applicants for licenses
to operate cars to present certificates
from physicians that they are in good
physical condition and have good eye
sight. Presumably they would be re-
quired to meet mental tests as we'll.
The bill has already been opposed
by some motor clubs in this section
and individual motorists here are
commencing to stir against it. They
point to the fact that they are al
ready paying for their cars or chauff-
eurs over million dollars to the State
for licenses and that 1t would mean
million and a quarter more for ply
sicians, certificates and impose a
hardship. Backers of the bill contend
that regulation of operation of cars
is essential and that the sight, mental
steadiness and strength OF driver is
matter of vital concern to the public.
1t Is expected that demands for hear
ings will be made next week and that
a battle as keen as that over suffrage
or local option or child labor will be
waged among the Legislators.
The provisions of the bill are as
follows: mo license to operate a mo-
tor vehicle shall be issued unless the
application therefore is accompanied
by a certificate from a physician Ii
censed to practice medicine in Penn
sylvania that he has examined the
applicant and that the eyesight of the
applicant is normal or that any alb
normality or weakness Is corrected by
means of eye glasses or spectacles and
that the applicant has no physical or
mental defect that might impair the
ability of the applicant to operate n
motor vehicle without danger to the
public"

New York to confer with John
Mitchell, the labor leader, on the
drafting of a Workmen's Compensa-
ton act for Pennsylvania.
1T appears that the present Consti-
tuition of Pennsylvania will not permit
us to adopt any of the acts existing in
the other States. So an entirely new
measure must be worked out. 1t is
our purpose to include in the new bill
all the best features of the laws now
in operation in various States, so that
when completed the Pennsylvania law
will be a model for every other Com
monwealth in the Union.
II feel that the advice of John
Mitchell, who is fairly acquainted with
labor conditions in the United States,
will be of great value to us in draw
ing up the new act"

than any for many years past.
The Canton rivers are normally
slow flowing and not of great width,
says Mr.. Al, but in flood time both
the rate OF flow and the width of the
streams are greatly augmented. The
rapidity with which the floods ccme

RILEY II. ALIEN
.AUGEST ,. LIB.
cHINA,s PLIGHT.

Great Britain forced Japan TO modify the
demands on China, declares a naval attache OF
the japanese embassy in Washington who
passed through Honolulu last week on his way
to Toxic.
II has been ceniectured for several months
that Britain made some sort of representations
to Japan which caused Minister Hioki to
ameliorate the demands he voiced at Picking.
Furthermore, It is reliably reported that dur
ing the last few days of the hina-Japanese
tensity, Great Britain through its minister,
Sir John. Jordan, told the Chinese government
that it should bow to the japanese ultimatum,
in the hope that after the European war is
over the Powers will step in and force Japan
to remove some of her tentacles. OF course
Great Britain didn't put it in this brusque,
coarse way Great Britain merely intimated
that under certain vague and indefnable cir
cumstances there might be chance that the
Chino-Japanese situation would be taken under
the notice Of the great Powers with view to
ascertaining if treaty relations with these
Powers we're thereby affected-or something
equally as. circumloeutory. Nevertheless, it
gave Chinese officiaIdom the excuse they were
looking for to yield to Japan. They. had to
yield anyway, for Japan was ready to tight and
would have whipped the unwieldy, unprepared
republic in a few days.
Japan had previously modified by very
little the text Of her demands on China. This,
as Captain Sakurai stated last Saturday was
due to the British attitude in part; in part also
to the fact that Japan was sure of almost
everything she wanted:
Samuel,G Blythe, the Saturday Evening Post
staff writer who is studying affairs of the
Orient, recently wrote from Peking that China
has given up her sovereignty. It is the opinion
Of many others we'll informed in Oriental mat
ters that Japan has succeeded IN getting Man
churia and other provinces 50 well within her
grasp that China s independence is doomed
unless after the war the Powers pry Japan
loose which viii be a large-sized job. And
the United States should not forget that Japan
has seized the Caroline, Marshall and Solomon
island groups and is apparently developing a
big naval base in the Pacific.

THE BRYAN-DUMBA INCIDENT.

Hawaii has had hardly hint of a new storm
Of criticism which has burst over the now
growing bald head of William Jennings Bryan
In fact, it is only within the last few weeks
that the mainland press seems to have learned
the news Of remarkable statement attributed
to Bryan in the course of conference with the
Austrian ambassador, DIR. Dumba.
It appears that during the time when rela-
lions between the United States and Germany
were.nost strained, before Bryan s signation
the secretary of state gave to the Austrian am
bassador the very definite impression that the
president s demands on Germany were not to
be taken TOO seriously.
This interview if true is one of the most
amazing things in all Bryan's public life; an
inexcusabIe diplomatic blunder and piece of
treachery SO nauseating that not even Bryan's
closest friends could relish il. The authen-
ITCHY of the Interview has not been definitely
established, but Bryan's own account of the
conference gives rise to a suspicion that he
really did tell the Austrian ambassador the
United States would not insist on the full letter
and spirit of its note.
Washington observers familiar with Bryan IS
lf-important unbosomings think that this is
about what happened:
After the first American note was sent to
Germany, Ambassador Dumba called on the
secretary of state to discuss the situation.
Thereupon Bryan delivered himself of a peace
Grafton, in which he declared himself against
war, questioned the right of the United States
to enforce its demands concerning the subma
rine warfare-as he has since publicly done
and gave the Impression that as secretary of
state he would not sanction hostile action I'M
der the terms of the note. The Austrian am
bassador, unable to conceive that Bryan s
views should not be the administration views,
sent to Europe the impression that he had re
ceived from Bryan No wonder that Ger
many's answer declined to meet squarey the
issues raised in the American note!
No American editor seems to have been able
to get from Bryan a clear-cut statement on
