bracelet from her arm and also the
golden wristband worn by Jcther.

Parasites of Jerusalem.

IT ETHER, appalled, at the magni,
tude Of his crime in thus re-
av nouncing the God of Israel,
drank feverishly as though to
forget in strong drink the memory of
his deed. And Tisha, curling up in his
arms in the great divan of the court
yard of the house of Nadina, few
minutes later half extricated herself
| from his embrace and said with soft
and gentle voice:
"And now, my beloved, thou wilt not
let another have the necklace Tisha
longs for?"
NAY; thou shalt have thy necklace.
l swear it." declared Jether, drawing
her to him. But she eluded his grasp,
slid from the couch and shouted gladly
and triumphantly:
"Sadyk, Sadyk, the necklace! He
says l may have it. Quick-the neck
lacew
But ere Sadyk, the crafty jeweler,
waiting within for this very summons,
which Nadina had advised him would
soon be the signal to bring Tisha the
necklace, could respond in the gateway
came a merry throng, with much laugh
ter and loud talking. Hadramut, the
Arabian horse dealer, led the throng,
and with him were Nadia, Merbel and
Parsodias, the Mede, all Of whom had
girls of Jerusalem with them-care free
young women-who sang and danced
for all who would pay tho pipor Be
hind them, in more solemn dignity and
alone, walked Haggai, the Judean, he
who had sought to befriend Jether.
And with them all was Tola-the gay
and festive Tola-in joyous mood. He
came to Tisha, bowed low and kissed
her hand. at the same time whispering
some secret message, which made her
eyes fash fire. The others, except for
the Judean Haggai, all filed before the
altar of Ishtar cast incense upon the
flame, placed sacrifices of golden orna-
ments before the craven image and
then regaled themselves with wine.
Tisha clapped her hands thrice,

Jether hesitated.

Tisha smilcd triumphantly. What
fools these men were All, she was
right-she could twist the strongest of
them around her little finger.
What hath my gracious Lady Ishtar
done to harm thce?" she purred softly,
as she put her arms gently around his
neck and submitted to his embrace.
Wherein would lie the fault vert thou
to drain a cup in honor of her? She is
our goddess, who is kind to lovers.
Shall lovers not adore her? Yet thou
dost mock her name, though by her
favor thou hast enjoyed her servant.

But Jether, with a nameless dread
gnawing at his heart, still hesitated.

FRlcHrFULNEss NOW COMMONPLACE

There was a time when the news Of the deliberate
slaughter Of helpless non-combatants was received with
horror throughout the civilized world. Now this has
become commonplace. The power that could order the
sinking Of . Lusitania, with its hundreds Of women and
children on board. 10 capable Of anything. Hence one
reads OF such things as air raids on the city of London
without surprise. but as something to be expected, no
matter how senseless and useless It may be.
In the three years Of war the Germans have not in
q single instance accomplished in their raids by sea and
air on England a single thing Of military Importance.
They have destroyed property which has no relation to
the war. They have killed an occasional soldier who
happened to be for the moment among the general pop
ulation Of the place attacked. But the vast majority Of
their victims have been civilians. and very many Of them
have been women and children.
The recent raid on London was directed at the east
end. the section containing the greater proportion Of the
poor. of the city. The locality attacked contains nothing
Of military Importance. ana the unfortunate human be-
ings who are to be found in that district have hardships
enough to endure without being subjected to the risk Of
sudden death by bombs from above. But the raid 10 in
exact line with the policy that this military despotism
has followed since the war began, and 1t IL . fitting ex-
preston Of q spirit which must be crushed II the process
takes the united strength Of the rest Of the world.

JAPAN AND CHINA

Japan regards China as her oyster. The japanese
are quick. alert and resourceful. China lies right at her
doors, with its vast territory almost destitute of modern
conveniences. and its enormous population inviting ex-
ploitation. Japan desires, if not the actual possession Of
Chinese territory. what will amount to a monopoly Of
the Chinese markets. and the privilege Of organizing.
squipping and financing every movement for material
improvement in China.
The doctrine Of Japan has been stated to be asia
for the Asiatics,' and this has been described as a part
OF Asiatic Monroe doctrine. There is no parallel. The
Monroe doctrine does not contemplate, and has never
contemplated the exclusion of other nations from trade
in this hemisphere in terms Of equality with the United
States or any OF the other American republics. The
American policy is to keep American territory intact
and American governments free and Independent, but
to grant to all the world exact equality in the trade
with American republics. 1t is distinctly the policy of
the open door.
This is the policy for which the United States stands
in China. Our policy is opposed to the monopolization
of China, politically or economically. by any other nation.
We have no designs of attempting such monopoly our
selves. But it has been stated plainly by American
statesmen, and it should be restated in language that
the whole world can understand, that the United States
will oppose any disposition Of Chinese affairs which will
tend to exclude her from the opportunity to hold inter-
course with her neighbor across the ocean, and to de-
prive China of the advantages Of the opportunity to hold
intercourse with the whole world.

NICHOLAS CAN VOTE

A few weeks ago Nicholas, Of the house Of Roman
OF, was the car of all the Russias. with power, in theory.
at least, more nearly despotic than that possessed by any
other ruler of a great nation. He was the supreme ruler
over a population of 1900 oo, 900. His rule extended
across two continents, from the Baltic sea to the Pacific
ocean, from the Arctic ocean to the Caucasus. BY vtr-
tue Of his Office he had greater wealth and a greater
annual income than any other human being.
Today Nicholas is just a citizen Of Russit. He is no
longer car. He has yielded up his sceptre. The peo-
pie and the lands which knew him as a ruler know him
in that relation no more. His wealth, save for such as
might be possessed by any ordinary gentleman, has re-
verified to the state. But Nicholas can vote.
There seems something tragic in the contrast be-
tween the great estate of this man but a short time ago
and the fact that others, whose decisions he was power
less to influence, have considered gravely whether or not
1.-THE man who was 80 lately supreme master should even
be adjudged the equal of those over whom he had held
sway, and should be permitted, with them, to participate
with them in shaping the affairs Of the nation.
Much depressing news has come out Of Russia OF
late. The revolution has thrown the plans Of the entente
powers out Of joint, and the Generalization of the Rus
sian forces has undoubtedly heightened the war. That
is unfortunate, for Russia, for her allies, and for the
world. And beyond that, there has occurred much to
warrant the fear that before real self-government is es-
tablished in Russia, a hard and rough road must be
Travelled, and that anarchy might, for a time. follow
despotism. The decision of the council to concede the
franchise of the former car comes az a gratifying evil
dence Of wisdom and moderation.
Recently the demand came from some quarters that
Nicholas should be placed on trial for offenses against
the nation. 1t would have been unfortunate had this
been done. Even acquttal would not have repaired, the
damage. The world knows Nicholas as a weak, we'll.
meaning man. He did not create the conditions which
made him car. He inherited the Office and its respon-
sdbilities, and there is no reason to.doubt that he did az
well as he knew how. To place him on trial would SAVIOR
of political persecution. To grant him the right to vote
does not necessarily prevent his being placed on trial
But the fact that he has been granted this right indi-
Gates a spirit on the part Of those in charge of affairs
which is not likely to proceed to extremes in his case
in any direction.
This decision is one Of the most hopeful signs that
has come from Russia for some time.
