To kill the nerve pains of Sciatica
you can always depend on Sloan's
Liniment. 1t penetrates to the seat of
pain and brings ease as soon as it is
applied. A great comfort too with
Sloan's is that no rubbing is required.
Sloan's Liniment is invaluable for
stopping muscular or nerve pain Of
any kind. Try it at once if you suffer
with Rheumatism, Lumbago, Sore

That Japan is preparing to press
for settlement it's differences with
the United States has been strongly
indicated Of late; and the premier
ship Of Count Terauchi is likely to
see a renewal Of efforts in this d.
rection.
It is within fairness to say that
the United States has not had any
definite policy toward the Far East
since the present Administration
came into. power. The first signifi-
cant act Of President Wilson was to
warn American bankers not to par
tfcipate in the six-power loan. That
barred this country from the imme-
date intimacy with developing af-
fairs which would have given 1t a
vastly greater influence and author
ity after European countries had be-
come intensely pre-occupied with
their war. japan, finding Europe
too busy to interfere, and assuming
that America had practically abdi-
Gated its Eastern authority, has been
pressing forward to stronger posi-
ton in China. The times demand a
positive, very definite, and vigorous
policy on this country's part. There
Is no reason to hope for the inaugu-
ration of such a policy before March
4 next. Japan, in placing military
man at the governments head, may
very possibly be planning to gain
as much advantage as possible dur
ing the remainder Of the Wilson
Administration.

A NEW CABINET FOR JAPAN

The conservative party, the army,
and the element demanding a strong
foreign policy, appear to have come
to the top in Japan, through the
designation of Count Terauchi as the
new premier. He is decidedly an i'm
perialist, an expansionist, as they
would say in Japan. That means
that he favors strong attitudes to-
ward the United States, and con-
tinuance Of a vigorous program of
aggression in China, with a view
to establishing Japanese authority
and commanding the largest meas
ure of economic leadership for his
country.
Count Terauchi is a lieutenant
general, and has been governor Of
Korea. It is noteworthy that Jap
anese explanations Of his selection
pretty generally try to discount the
impression that because he is mill
tary man he will prove a lingo. It
is insisted, on the other hand, that
he is no chauvinist, and that in fact
Count Okuma, the retiring premier,
commended him to the Emperor for
the succession. The Okuma ministry
failed because Of factional troubles,
and in part the issues were domestic
rather than foreign: The progress
i've elements want more attention to
public welfare policies, internal de-
velopment, social enterprises, and
the like. Count Terauchi is regarded
as representing the conservatives,
who would keep foreign affairs at
! the front, partly in order to distract
public attention from domestic prob
lens whose solution must trend to-
ward democracy and even socialism
partly because the army and navy
influence is devoted first and fore.
most to the grandiose ideas of Jap.

NEWEST SUBMARINE CRISIS IN
GERMANY

Proposal by the Won Tirpitz party
Of German extremists, that block
ade of certain British ports be pro-
claimed, is hardly to be taken very
seriously. A blockade of certain
ports would necessitate the mobili-
cation of the German submarine
power off those ports, which would
make them the easier prey for the
allied naval forces. A blockade is
not blockade under international
law unless it is effectively enforced;
and while there are wide variations
of conclusions as to what is an eff
fective blockade, there is still some
force in the requirement that a
blockade shall accomplish what the
proclamation says it will.
To proclaim blockade Of a fixed
list Of British ports and attempt to
make it effective, would require that
submarines in considerable numbers
be maintained off those ports. They
would require supply bases, which
would be the more easily located by
the allied forces under such condi-
tions. The British and French naval
forces could be assembled at those
ports, and judging by the ineffect-
iveness of submarines against naval
forces thus far in the war, the out
come would be far more disastrous
to the submarines than to the de-
tenders of the ports. The use of
nets, motor boats, trawlers, and the
other anti-submarine weapons which
have been SO useful against the
underwater craft, would be more
easily carried on under such condi-
tions.
1t is not probable that the Tirpitz-
ties really want that particular pol.
icy adopted at all. More likely, they
would like to have a blockade of par.
ticular ports proclaimed, in order tc
induce naval concentrations by the
allies to defend those ports. They
being certain that shipping would
avoid the designated ports and use
others, the submarines would infes'

THE LOSS OF DR.. BAKER

The resignation of DR.. Frank
Baker as superintendent Of the Ma
tional Geological Park marks the
close Of twenty-six years of valuable
service in that capacity.
A reading of the reports Of the
Smithsonian Institution shows how
much the Zoo here has developed
under DR.. Baker, until it now pos
sesses one of the most varied and in
teresting collections of animals Of
any such institution in the country.
The average citizen does pot
bother much about ZOOS except as
a form Of Sunday afternoon enter
tainment for children. But the edu-
cational value of the parks is be-
coming more generally recognized.
School children of Washington are
now sent to the Zoo to observe the
animals, and they can learn and as
simulate much more there in a few
visits than they could accumulate
in weeks of studying biographies.
AS a professor of anatomy, for
thirty-three years, at Georgetown
University, as president of the Ma
tional Association of Anatomists,
and as an active member of half a
dozen other scientific bodies, DR..
Baker has also attained note outside
his work at the Zoo. His capacity
for work is suggested in the calm
announcement that he, at the age of
seventy-fve years, must retire from
the Zoo. not to seek leisure, but be-
cause of the pressure of other duties.
DR.. Baker is one of notable group
Of scientists to be found in Washing

THE pHppHRcoRN ESTIMATE

"As compared with the verdict OF
the next twenty-five years, l do not
care a peppercon about the verdict
of 1916" declared President Wilson
at Omaha. Not 80 unfortunate as
"too proud to fight" perhaps; but
anything other than skillful. The
people of the United States are at
present living in 1915. They have
little disposition to take chances that
a mysterious policy which they can't
at present understand, will be sus-
tanned by the developments Of a
quarter century hence.
A banker, approached for loan,
might look over the four years rec
ord of the applicant, find it had been
a record of persistent business in
capacity and failure, and then make
the loan, on the ground that the APP
plicant was sure he would be SOL
vent twenty-five years hence. He
might; but ordinarily he doesn't.
If President Wilson is not con-
cerned about the verdict Of 1915, he
might quite properly have permit
ted himself to be governed, as to a
candidacy in 1915, by the pronounce
ment of the Baltimore platform on
that particular point.
