JAPAN AND CHINA.

TAPAN has made material progress in enforcing her

by our own government not TO so too far in the mat

the Chinese Republic has granted four of the Japanese
demands all relating to Manchura, in which japan is
seeking to strengthen her sphere Of influence The
demands granted follows;
First The Japanese governments consent shall be
obtained before loan is made with third power in
volvng the pledging Of local taxes in south Man
churia-
Second The Japanese governments consent shall
be obtained whenever permission is granted to sub

loan is made with third power for the building OF
railway in south Manchuria.
Third If the Chinese government in south Man
churia employees advisers instructors for political
financial or military purposes the japanese govern
ment shall first be consulted.
Fourth. The transfer Of the Kirin-Changchun rail

The negotiations are by no ended and more
may be obtained by Japan before they close In defer

has definitely abandoned its demand that all important
places throughout China should be policed jointly by
China and Japan

Speaker Clark has evidently accept
cd Mr.. Wilson as the Democratic nom
inee for The Presidency in 1915, else
he would not have given him the COM
plete endorsement which has recently
been published Republicans can now
rest satisfied as to the results upon
the issues which will be presented 10
the electors in 1916, for, with Mr..
Wilson as the candidate. there can
be no successful lodging by the party
in mower of those issues, no covering
up or avoidance Of the record which
thousands of Democrats are ashamed
OF and which hundreds of thousands
of former Democrats will repudiate by
their votes in 1916.
The party must face its record upon
the tariff. Its failure to protect
American workingmen, American ag-
riculturists, Amegican manufacturers,
and American investors will lose II

Editorial Opinion
A WOMAN'S WAGE.

From the Brooklyn Times.
Just as militant womanhood is pre-
pairing to open the campaign for suf-
frage in the Empire State, there comes
from the courts a series Of discomfort
ing decisions on the rights of sex.
Three months ago, the Supreme Court
decreed in this borough that a bank
account. held jointly by husband and
wife, is the property of the husband,
if the contributions of the wife we're
made up of savings from her weekly
allowance to run the household. Now,
Supreme Court Justice Morschauer in
White Plains, goes a stride further
and puts into practical application
the law that unless there is contract
between husband and wife, allowing
/ the latter TO engage in business IN
! dividually, not only all her savings,
but all her earnings are the property
OF her husband. to do with as he will.
Is it mere coincident that the courts
call attention to these statutes at a
time when the rights of women are
about to be settled at the polls
The most interesting phase of the
question, if a settled matter may be
called a question, is that virtually all
the feminine and feminist lawyers and
leaders agree that the court has prop
erly construed the law What antag-
onism exists to the decision, as such.
is TO be found in the ranks of the
anti-suffrage workers Perhaps this
indicates that the feminist women are
better politicians than their feminine
sisters For. from a moral viewpoint,
e the law is manifestly unfair, and it
is on the injustice of man-made laws
that the strongest appeal for female
suffrage can be based.

The Passing of The Fortress
(From the New York Tribune.)

without being able TO make an effec-
tive reply. Whore no big siege guns
are available, as was the case with
the Russians before Przemysl, the
unwieldy garrison is easily contained
and eventually starved out.
The Austro-Hungarian General stan
made a great blunder when it did not
order the evacuation of Przemysl af-
ter the first siege was raised in Oc-
tobor The garrison and stores were
of more value than the fortress was.
Misled by the ease with which the city
was relieved as a result of the first
German drive at Warsaw, the Aus
tro-Hungarian military authorities de-
cided to take another chance relying
on the lighting power of the garri-
son and on the possibility OF another
timely forward movement into Middle
and Eastern Galicia.
Sorties by a besieged garrison are
a poor reliance. A sortie party, even
if successful is tied to the fortress
as base. Investments are rarely
broken that way. And the idea thai
/ the TeutOnic armies would soon again
cross the Carpathians and clear the
whole west bank of the San river was
based on gross miscalculation ol
, Russia's strength. Won Hindenburg'
second campaign against Warsaw re-
! lieved Cracow but it could not re
lieve Przemysl Failing TO evacuat'
in October, when there was chance
to do so, therefore. cost an army o
$4,000 to 10000 men "a loss poorl!
offset by the inconvenience to Russii
of a continuance of the siege.
From now on we shall probably SCI
few fortresses held after they ceas
to be of value in connection with tn
operations of mobile armies.
Evening journal., 1915-03-25

This war has sounded the knell OF
the big fortress. II has exploded
the tradition-already weakened in
the Franco-Prussian and Russo-Jap-
anese wars-that elaborately fortified
bases are a great military asset. In
stead Of giving security to armies put
on the defensive, they have proved to
be merely traps for the garrisons i'm
prisoned in them. Cut of from the
support of mobile armies, they must
inevitably yield either to lombard
ment or to the slower process of star
vatiOn.
The lesson OF the fall OF Metz in
1870 did not carry home at the time
because il was felt that Marshal Ba-
zaine did not avail himself of the ad-
vantagcs which Metz offered as a
base. He had ample opportunity at
Rezonville and Mars-la-Tour to pre-
vent its investment. and after Sedan
he fell out of touch with the govern
ment in Paris and simply sat down
and waited for the end. France, Ger
many, Austria-Hungary and Russia
went on building great fortresses as
essentials in q first line of defence. As
late as 1903 Port Arthur was consid-
cred impregnable. Yet the Japanese
took it after a siege OF less than si'
months.
In this war the fortress has had lit
tie chance against investing forces

we're overwhelmed by the fire Of thu
heavy Austrian and German howit

targets TO guns hidden many mile

That many OF the oldest and most experienced hort-
culturists in Delaware have confidence in the future
of the apple is shown by their activity in setting out
new orchards and caring for old ones. When such
men pursue such course It is not surprising that
other fruit growers less experienced and with less
confidence in their judgment follow the exam
