that means is that Japan shall dominate and
direct the Orient for defensive and offensive
purposes
Mr. Blythe's article also shows in rather
plain terms that while the original demands of
Toxic could not be forced through, enough
were forced through to enlarge greatly the Jap

time indeed for the American state department
and department of commerce to bestir them

Of legitimate American trade China is very
friendly to America now and very hostile to
Japan. American businessmen have legitimate
trade opportunities waiting in the Orient to be
seized in fair competition. Japan knows of
those opportunities and just now needs Chinese
trade much worse than does America
Mr.. Blythe gives in full the original Japan
csc demands. 1t is of interest to note that they
are identical with the text the Star Bulletin
was able to give its readers as early as last

PRACTICALLY RIDICULOUS.

A correspondent for the Chicago Daily News
IA veteran newspaper man and one hardened
to the manifold cruelties of war-reeently
wrote what a good many people are beginning
to feel about this as about other conflicts. He
said:
For me, after beholding nine months of
fighting, war is stripped of all the glory that
historians falsely attribute to it. War is a
butchery of men and slaughter of innocent
women and children Men who do not wish to
fight are forced to kill and be killed. War is
cowardly. Failing to injure each other, the
conbatants vent their rage on those who can
not defend themselves. Only yesterday, in the
next street to me, a peaceful father and good
mother were killed and eight children were
made fatherless and motherless by projectile
fired without any possibility of its beneftting
those who fired it. War is unjust. Those who
desire only peace, are forced, to pay for those
who fight War degenerates. Both French
and German soldiers go to the charge trans
formed by alcohol ether and morphine. War
is tragically ridiculous Historians tell us of
the glory of a soldiers death. In reality
soldiers are cattle led to slaughter. War is
everything wrong and nothing right Z
" War is tragically ridiculous. When the
war lords realize it, they will talk in less high
flown phrases of the slaughter of human beings.

The contention of Leo Frank and his attor-
news that he did not have fair trial in At
lanta is borne out by the passionate mob-spirit
which has been displayed since Governor Sla-
ton commuted his sentence. That the governor
should be threatened bodily harm for his ac-
ton shows the blind prejudice and lawless rage
against the young Jew. The supreme court of
the United States declined to go into the merits
of the case in the slightest degree; but in con-
sidering the appeal for communication, the gov
ernor dealt not merely with the technicalities
Of law but with material facts, and came to the
steadfast conclusion that the identity of the
criminal had not been sufficiently established.
1t is black blot on Georgia that his decision
should have been received as it has been.
