lege of Germany's passes to Japan.
In the case of Germany the prefer
entail rights involved in the clause
were not much of a menace to America
or to European powers, because Ger
many soon found that they constituted
a doubtful benefit. If she tried to shut
the door in Shantung, England shut
the door in the rich Yangtze valley,
France closed her out of the far South,
and Russia n Japan could exercise
their privileges against her in the
North. So the door was kept open all
around, to the great benefit of the
United States, whose merchants ask
nothing more than a fair field and no
favors. 1t is highly improbable that
Japan will continue the German policy
in the matter, If she succeeds perma-
nently to Germany's privileges.
Japan guaranteed the territorial in
tegrity and sovereignty of Korea in all
her treaties and proclamations up to
the second renewal of the Anglo-Japa-
nese alliance. Then the point was un-
obtrusively dropped, and to-day Korea
is an integral part of the Japanese m
pire. Japan also guaranteed the terri
torial integrity of China and the open
door doctrine in Chinese territory; to-
day the great Chinese province of
Manchuria is absolutely dominated by
Japan. and American trade Is falling
off rapidly. Judging the future by the
past, as we'll as by Japan's actions in
Shantung in the past year, it is only
reasonable to deduce that the
door will be closed in Shantung also.
Such a course affects the United
State gravely in two ways. In the first
place, the stability of an arrangement
such as the open door doctrine. by
which all of the Powers agree to treat
foreigners on an equal basis with their
W nationals, even in these Chinese
provinces which they dominate, de-
ponds for its stability entirely on the
good faith of all concerned. If one of
the parties violates the spirit of the
contract, self-defense compels all the
others to do likewise. If a number of
merchants establish a fixed price for
flour and agree not to sell below that
price, the scheme works so long as
they all hold by 1t. If one of them
cuts the price, all the others have to
follow suit.
So in China, If one Power again sets

| out into the hall. but, seeing them, the
operator waited. AS they entered,
Agnes was aware that one of the pas
sengers was Philip Hale. He had en-
tered a moment before them.
She did not look at him, but she
knew that Annie Rooney did. She
also knew that he had removed his
hat, and that he, of all the men in
the car, was the only n uncov-
cred. This was not customary in an
office building. she reflected. Prob
ably Phil would have kept his hat on
had she not been present.
He turned up the street, the girls
down. They were scarcely out of ear
shot before Annie gave vent to the
comments in her mind.
Gee" she exclaimed. Some class
to him! I say, did you get on to the
way he looked at you when you gave
him the old mans message? Why,
he grinned all over. 1 thought for a
minute hat you'd met him before.
But you hadn't, had your"
An Explanation
His father introduced me-that Is,
mentioned my name to his son, the
first day I was in his employ" Agnes
told her.
This was the second time to-day she
had repeated that statement. h con-
graduated herself on having this
truthful sentence with which to ex-
plain Philips manner toward her.
well, I guess he thinks you're
pretty, all right. Annie rejoined. I've
told you before that you'd be a stun
ner if you'd only dress up more. But
your things are too simple"
Agnes said nothing, and her COM
panion returned to the subject that
was uppermost in her mind.
Yes, that Philip Hale is sure a pip
pin, Did you see how he took off his
hat in the elevator? There's precious
few that would take the trouble to
do hat in an elevator full of working
girls"
TT is entirely unnecessary anyway, I"
Agnes remarked CURLY.
Unnecessary? Why of course 1t
is. But so is it unnecessary for a man
to tip his hat to you But it's nice"
That's different" Agnes declared.
1T is not expected that a man re-
move his hat in az elevator in a big
office building. If women go there,
they must expect to be treated as men
are. In a hotel, or an apartment
house, it is an entirely different mat
ter"
She did not know that her tone was
sharp and tense until Annie's ques-
tioning gaze brought her to a realiza-
ton that she was speaking excitedly.
We'll, you certainly do resent a
small politeness," the girl commented.
Anyone would think to hear YOU
talk that you thought young Hale was
trying to get fresh with YOU. But,
kid, I guess you're wrong there. He
don't seem like that sort. And I don't
believe he is-now, do you, really?"
No" said Agnes, more gently. 1T
do not for a moment suppose that he
is. l may have spoken Grossly Just
low; but I am tired and hungry"

CHAPTER Ky II.
Copyright, 1916, Star Company
At a few minutes past ~ that moor
Agnes was summoned to the tele-
phone. She recognized Mr.. Hale's
voice on the wire.
Miss Morley he said, IT have
been detained, so will not come in un-
til afternoon. Get you luncheon and
be ready to report for work by a
quarter of two"
Eyes. sir" she replied.
And, by the way" her employer
added, kindly tell Mr.. Philip Hale
that I wish him to attend to those
two matters I spoke to him about
this morning before returning to the
office after his lunch. Will you re-
member to do that?"
Yes, sir" she repeated, Il will re-
member"
Her heart beat as she thought of
addressing Philip in the office be-
fore the other clerks. Yet, had he
been a total stranger to her, she
would not lave minded doing it. She
must try to think of him as a stranger.
Going into the outer office she
started across h room, but was way
ing for her, hat on and evidently In
a hurry.
Come along" Annie said. I'm
starved and 1 want a chance to fill
up before I have to get back" .
81 will be with you in a minute
Agnes responded. 81 have a message
from Mr.. Hale to his son. 1 must de-
liver it."
She did not pause for Annie's COM
ment, but went directly to where
Philip Hale sat in his rallied enclosure.
At the sound of her step he looked
up, then sprang to his feet, his face
bright with smiles. But h did not
smile.
The Message Delivered
"Mr. Hale" she said in a voice that
could be heard by Miss Durkee, who
had risen from her desk preparatory
to going out: Mr.. Hale, your father
has just telephoned a message which
he asked me to deliver"
She repeated her employers direc-
lions and turned away. But Philips
low "Agnes!" made her stop.
Cant we lunch together" he
pleaded, so softly that she scarcely
heard him.
NO; and don't look at me like
that" she muttered. You are spoil
ing everything!" Then, louder, 81 will
tell him when he comes in that you
will attend to the matter"
Her face had not changed during
the brief interview, yet she felt as
If it must betray the emotions raging
within her. She longed to speak alone
with Philip, yet dared not do so. And
If she did not warn him he might
cause gossip in the office by his eX-
preston and way of looking at her.
It will be with you in an instant"
she said to Annie as she hurried to the
closet for her hat and jacket.
The elevator was just about to leave
their floor when the two girls stepped

up a sphere of influence, the others
will have to drop the open door and &c
back to their own respective spheres.
The establishment of a sphere of In
huence is opposed to all American
theories of commerce and information
al relations. The American wants the
government to stay out of business
Give him a fair chance and he can
look out for himself. The American
government, moreover does not want
to establish a sphere of influence to
dominate in a helpless nation. Such o
proceeding is repugnant to all our
ideas. The United States proposed and
established the open doc policy.
Even If the United States should
make a virtue of necessity and enter
the scramble for a sphere of her own,
China has practically nothing left to
give. Russia and Japan in Manchuria
and Mongolia, now Japan in Shan
tung, England in central China
France in the south, leave nothing but
the metropolitan province of Chih-li
the heart of the Chinese government
the seat of Picking, over which China
can certainly not be expected to give
up any rights. So a return to the
sphere of influence doctrine would be
a death-blow to American commerce
in China.
1t has been said that our commerce
to China does not amount to much.
We are told that our trade with Japan
Is much greater, that our logical
course is to cooperate with japan in
trading with China-or, as 1t might
be put less euphemistically, in exploit
ing China. Aside from the ethics OF
the case, such an idea is extremely
short-sighted. The development OF
the tremendous natural of
China has hardly begun. She is one of
the richest countries on earth. Her
four hundred million people are just
beginning to demand the products of
Western industry. When hat demand
rises, China will be the greatest mar
ket the world has ever seen. For the
United States to resign her right to
free competition in that market would
be a costly and colossal blunder.
One other aspect of the Shantung
situation is worth careful considera-
ton. Japan's course points to an
elimination of Germany from the
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1916-08-21

cient n scientific export organiza-
ton of the modern world. Germany
will put up a terrific fight for trade
wherever she can get it when the war
is over.
BY entering the world conflict, ia
pan has created a whole set of new
issues n problems. 1t is unfortunate
that her course should have been
along lines Numerically opposed to
American principles; that the results
of hat course should promise to be
uniformly unfavorable to American in-
~terests.

HOW ABOUT JAPAN 4?

ing a British expeditionary force to
cooperate with the japanese. The
reason for such a course is plain. Eng
land wants to have a voice in the ne
gotiations that will ultimately deter
mine the disposition of the spoils of
the campaign, and her eXpeditionary
force gives her the right to such a
voice. Japan could not refuse the as
siStance of her ally, but England's
course was not popular in Japan. Jap
an did not need any help and did not
want it.
England's course holds u the best
hope of an Ultimate square deal for
both the United States and China in
the matter, for England's interests in
the matter lie along the same lines
with our interests and China's. China
wants the open Door" policy, with It's
guarantee of equal commercial rights
to all nations and territorial spheres
of influence to none, because it rep
resents China's best chance for con-
tinuing as a nation instead of being
split up among the Powers. The
United States wants the Open Door
perpetuated, because in case the
sphere of influence doctrine is reviv-
ed, we will be left u of China abso-
lutely.
In n clause of the Shantung
treaty between Japan and China lies
n grave menace to American interests,
and Americas future. China agrees
to consent to the transfer by Germany
to Japan of all her rights in Shantung.
Now Germany's agreement with China
in this matter provides that German
merchants and German capital shall
have first call on the trade and devel-
opment of the province, and only in
the event of Germany's declining to do
the work is China 'at liberty to act
as she pleases." 1t was. this particu-
lar clause hat moved the far-sighted
John Hay to build up the intricate Sc
ries of agreements which constitute the
