PARIS, Jan. 3.---L'TiiuStrution makes a
feature OF an article on japanese inter-
vention written by Andre Cheradame,
well known author and journalist Nj.
Cheradame declares that japanese inter
vention is certainly not Indispensable, a.
victory for the Allies through their own
efforts Is certain. lie says, however that
the matter should be considered solely
from the viewpoint of shortening the in
finite sufferings OF tho war.
VI. Cheradame recounts Japan's griev-
ancc against Germany. which advised
Russia to occupy Port Arthur and insti-
gated tho Russo japanese wars He
charges also that Germany recently cor
rupted Japanese naval officers In tho
matter OF obtaining contracts for German
firms for installing electric ana other
works on the new warships.
The writer considers that Russia, Great
Britain and France will be able to give
Japan territorial compensation without
involving Indo-China, which Japan does
not desire Hut financial compensation.
he says. is more important, as Japan was
unable 10 obtain an indemnity after the
war with Russia. Japan is weighted with
taxation and is unable to expand at home.
For this reason she is now driven to seek
new lands to which her people may
emiRrate.

VI. Cheradame figures that Intervention
by Japan would shorten the war by three
months and save the Allies billion francs

made 10 Japan when Germany would
eventually have 20 pay As an indemnity.
Participation In European war would
enhance Japan's world prestige. The
Mikado's Government recognizes this point
but II is possible that the japanese people
do not view II In the same light
NJ Cheradame then discusses the OBJ
jections to bringing japanese troops TO
Eur pc and dismlsses as unworthy Of
argument the idea that there would BE-
anything humiliating about It,
The writer then considers the POSSIBLE
ity OF the United States obJecting to
japanese troops coming to Europe TO par
ticipate in the war. This is point which
all other writers on this subject have
steadily avoided, although ii is under
stood here that England's dislike ;a
japanese Intervention is greatly due to u
desire not TO offend the inited States

Doctrine, which prevented European
nations from intervening in Mexico, puts
the United states out OF court as an oh

mdAIn L0dL all m6n SCdnQ equal De-
fore the law must be discarded as
rubbish.
Law is the will of the master class,
designed to keep the masses in sub
lection. For instance, the setting
aside of the .$29, 100000 fine imposed
on the Standard Oil Co.; the assas-
sination of free speech by court in
junction in scores of our cities; the
innumerable trust deals and steals
perpetrated on the American people
by and through the forms of law;
the massacre of the molly Ma
guires" in the Pennsylvania coal
fields in 1877, when II miners were
hanged by packed juries and on per-
Jured evidence; the Haymarket case,
when in 1887 four labor leaders, since
proven innocent, were hanged, their
real crime having been agitation in
favor of the 8-hour day.
More instances of laws outrages:
The nnumerable and incredible
brutalities and outrages practiced by
the police and military power in the
labor wars, all aided by anarchistic
mobs of respectable business men"
The people of Colorado in 1903, by
majority of over $4,000, declared
for the 8-hour day for miners. The
elected representatives of the state
refused to obey that mandate and
enact that law.
In Chicago the voters declared
three times for municipal ownership
of the traction system, with the same
result, and voted against the subway,
yet State street and big BilP' pro-
pose to dig one.
The Automatic telephone rightful-
ly belongs to the city of Chicago by

sentatives of the citizens of Chicago

taking the right of investigating the
traction company's books from the
city of Chicago, thereby having only

Considerable discussion has taken

maintaining that the legs should press

both methods are incorrect If we dis

it composed of a sequence of very
narrow scissors kicks from which i'm.
petus is gained in swapping the legs
together, first one and then the other
playing the leading role, as does the
under leg in the scissors kick used with
the trudgeon.

y T is to be regretted that swimming
on the back is so much neglected
in this country. The average
bather seldom gives it thought
and seems satisfied with any old
stroke. while the number Of racing
men competing in the very few events
held ut this style of natation is con-
spicuously small.
Yet swimming on the back is not
only an essential feature of the life
savers art, but an excellent means OF
physical development and a speedy
and comfortable method Of aquatic
progression. A correct back stroke
carries along at good pace and can be
sustained over the distances. Further
more, other muscles are brought into
play than those used in free style
swimming, SO that considerable energy
can be saved by resorting to it at in
tervals in covering long courses, wheth-
er for pleasure or in competition
Several forms of back stroke are at
the disposal of the swimmer. He may,
in fact, adopt the movements of the
