ried out in China. declared that Ja- pan would have the welfare and de- velopment of China at heart This in view of the treaty between Japan and Russia leaves much to be demon strated as to what will actually be done that will preserve the independ- ence of the Chinese.
 As to this country Terauchi asserts that there will be no aggression against the United States unless the dignity and vital interests of Japan are attacked. that Japan is perfectly satisfied to have this country hold the Philippines and that there Is no de- sire on the part Of his country to step in and take control there. This does not indicate a warlike spirit on the part of the new premier but rather a disposition to seek peace and pursue it and it is of course to be hoped that such will characterize Japan's action whether he or someone else is at the head of the cabinet,

THE CHAMPION RED sox.

Nothing throughout the whole base ball season arouses fandom like the worlds series. The championship con- tests in the respective leagues do not fail to get their share of attention but when the two best teams in the country get together to decide which is the better there is assured some of the greatest ball playing that can be seen.
 As worlds champions the Boston American league team had gone through the season displaying their old time form. They had given con- fidence to their supporters that they would be able to successfully defend the honor and the masterly game which they have played in each of the five contests in the worlds series this year justified the faith with which they were backed.
 In the retention of the worlds cham pionship the Red SoX are entitled to it. They played much more consistent ball than their opponents, and while many would liked to have seen the honor go to Brooklyn for the benefit of the game, it must be recognized that the better team has won. Bos- ton played a strong uphill game at dIl stages, WHICH was III llldIheu COIL trast to Brooklyn especially in the last two games. Not by any luke but by clever ball playing does Boston retain the banner. The Red SoX are a clever aggregation of baseball artists who with their manager deserve the honor which goes to them. while it must be fully realized that it is no disgrace for Brooklyn to take second honors to such a team.

NimbIe- Minded Presidents.

The President in the next four years will have to be a very nimble- minded and versatile man, a man cap able of quick intuitionS and with the power to guess rightly almost on the spur of the moment. There will be few questions he can study thorough iy. He will have to be able to pick deeper currents of popular feeling, and have no fear of adventure.-Walter Lippman in the New Republic.
 This Is the eXordium of an article in which MT. Lippman tries to show that it won't do to elect MT. Hughes in whom as a candidate he professes great disappointment, and that by in ference the choice should fall on MT Wilson.
 We have here his description of Mr Wilson fitted to the emergency. It is tions.
 ''Nimble- minded and versatile" MT Wilson is. He has @quicll munitions 50 quick that they are frequently wrong, and have to be charged with suden completeness. He has the power to guess almost on, the spur of the moment"-but with dangerous fre- quency he guesses wrong.
 For more than a year he guessed wrong on how to deal with the sub marine question. He guessed wrong Mexico. For two years he guessed wrong on preparedness. And he guessed wrong when he surrendered tc the Brotherhood threat.
 The American people prefer the solid Hughes to the nimble- minded Wilson.-From the Minneapolis Jour nal. Ind't Rep.

The world owes me a living!" How often the maker of that remark Is a lazy, good-for- nothing fellow with an empty head and no conception what ever of the value or joy of good, hard work.
 But don't condemn him yet!
 The world DID owe him a proper start. Did he get it?
 Perhaps he did-but more likely he didn't.
 The man who has a proper start physically, mentally, morally-doesn't often degenerate into the worthless street-corner winner who declaims, 'The world owes me a living!"
 Every child, girl or boy, rrcn or poor, black or red or white, is entitled to pure food, clean clothes, fresh air, sound sleep; to instruction that will equip him to collect his living and a little joy besides; and to knowledge of the difference between rrsnt and wrong.
 Don't be too hard on the man who believes the world owes him a living. 1t doesn't, of course-but perhaps c owes him other things.-BridgeE ort Telegram.

POLITICAL
A Stic<er vs, A Slipper.

A correspondent writing to the New York Herald makes this rather nlum-
 mating query-orz zrather this illumi- mating brace of queries 1. Would Grover Cleveland have handled the Mexican controversy in 1915 as MT. Wilson has handled it? And, ?, Would Woodrow Wilson have handled the Venezuelan controversy as MT. CleVe- land handled it? To ask those qi=s- tions is to answer them both--in the negative. Mi. Cleveland would have handled the Mexican business very diferently-and further his manful at titude in the Chicago railroad strike in 1894 is ample warrant for saying that he never would have abased himself in the dust before tl!e railroad broth erhOods as Mr. Wilson lately did. A man capable of the incompetence that Woodrow Wilson has shown in deal ing with Mexico would most certainly never have stood mp to ;he British the way that Grover Cleveland did in the matter of the Venezuelan boundary. MT Cleveland, whatever else he may have been. was a man. When ne came to a pinch he had a mans courage and a mans bluntness. He stuck to his guns. MT. Wilson hasn't any guns to stick to and wouldn't stick to them if he had. He doesn't even stick to his own opinions long enough to make it worth while to express them.

NO CHANGE FOR PEACE,

Ambassador Gerard has made it plain that he did not bring a com- munication to this government from Germany endeavoring to interest this country in starting a movement for peace. It is likewise evident that the trip of the U-53 was not for tpe pur- pose of delivering a message of such a character. Officials of both Germany and Great Britain, to say nothing of the 'latter's allies, have been emphatic in their declarations that the war must go to a finish, and these nations have been taking the neces- Bary steps to meet the financial re- auirements in that connection.
 Germany's latest loan was suc- cess, despite the predictions to the contrary and now the British house of commons has been asked to vote another billion and a, half for the car rying on of the war. In making his application for this new credit Pre- mier Asquith apparently thought it was necessary. to supplement the re- cent statement of David Lloyd George regarding that country's attitude to- wards the talk of peace negotiations for he took occasion to say This war cannot end in a patched up, precari- ous, dishonorable compromise, mas querading under the name of peace. The allies are not vindictive, but they will require from their enemies ade- quate reparation for the past and se- curity for the future"
 There is no getting behind the facts in this statement. Whatever talk there has been about peace, it is evil dent from such declaration, that it has not secured and Is not getting any en- coura cement in London, and with Ger many equally determined it can hard ly be claimed that the end of the war is in sight.

PROTECTING THE REAR.

It has been apparent for a long time that Greece has not been moving fast enough towards war to suit the en- tente powers. Ever since the allied forces landed at SalonilSi, by permis- sion of Premier Venizelos, pressure has been exerted to bring that country into the war. Gradually Greece has been yielding but it has been slow. The allies secured their first impor- tant advantage when they brought about the demobilization of the Greek army that the danger of that force being turned against them might be overcome. Since then things have been moving more rapidly but still Greece has failed to bring itself into full sympathy with the entente and the negotiations which have been un- derway have laggaE.
 It is because OP this and the reali- zation that the menace to the rear of the allied army in Greece has not been entirely overcome, that the issuance of the ultinatuin demanding the sur render of the greater part Of the navy and certain railroads resulted.
 The step is much the same as that which was taken by the Teutonio forces in capturing and interning the Greek garrisons about KavaIa. Greece may have been headed towards just such action but the allies realize that a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush and they have no disposition to take any further chances with the dawdling Greek government. The opening of the campaign in the Bal kans from that quarter is necessitated by events further north and the allies find it necessary to get Greece where it cannot do any harm, and Greece was of course powerless to do other than comply.

When lived in town could do as I wished and nobo.y paid any attention to me, but out Where we are living at present the interest one exciteS is wonderful. I have half a mind to move back"
